The Godfather of Basketball

The Nets played fast in the frontcourt, and Irving missed a three-pointer.

Looking back, it was the cooperation between Curry and Cousins. The Nets also chose to clip Curry. Curry immediately sent the ball to Cousins, and Cousins ​​continued to shoot.

"Shua!"

Go in with three points!

Cousins' outside touch is quite good!

"Steve Kerr's ability is no worse than his old boss, this adjustment is really immediate." Barkley said with emotion.

"Not only the players played, but the tactical game between the coaches is also very interesting." O'Neill said with a smile.

"Cole threw the burden of the problem on Tang Tian." Smith also echoed.

The changes on the field are like playing chess between masters, seeing each move and breaking it.

Mitchell's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt missed, and the Nets failed to score two consecutive attacks.

The Warriors continued to play pick-and-rolls in the frontcourt. After Durant asked Cousins ​​to pick-and-rolls, the Nets still double-teamed!

This is obviously a tactical arrangement, anti-surprise release.

Durant returned the ball and continued to Cousins.

George consciously defended in advance, but Cousins ​​shot very quickly.

"boom!"

The ball missed and the rebound was caught by Jokic.

The Nets counterattacked directly, and Jokic made a long pass to George. George threw off Cousins ​​and rushed to the frontcourt to round a windmill dunk!

The Barclays Center was set on fire.

George continued his fiery performance.

"Defend! Defend!"

This buckle also ignited the emotions of the fans on the scene, and the cheers on the scene were overwhelming.

With the cooperation of the Warriors' weak side, Thompson's three-pointer was interfered and missed.

After Jokic received the rebound, he played a fast break.

The Nets were faster when Yi Jianlian was on the court, and Jokic was relatively slow when he was on the court. thug foul.

Although the lineup is different, the core of the Nets' tactics has not changed, which is to play the counterattack that the Warriors are best at.

As well as the length of defeating the enemy, the catch is that Cousins ​​​​can't keep up.

After making two free throws, the score on the field was 8 to 10. Watching Cousins ​​​​go in from the outside, the Nets were not behind in the situation.

Curry went to the frontcourt to continue looking for Cousins.

The Nets' defensive counterattack is based on the fact that the Warriors can't attack, as long as they score, everything is easy to say.

Almost exactly the same opportunity, the difference is that George jumped faster this time, and Cousins ​​was blocked before he shot.

"You can't make the shot." George said naughtily after posting it.

Cousins ​​was so violent, he squeezed George away after hearing it.

George stretched out his hand to prevent the interference, and the ball went over George's head.

"boom!"

Three points missed!

After making two consecutive shots, Cousins ​​made two consecutive shots.

This is Cousins' current ability. His three-pointers are enough to be a tactical point, but there is still a long way to go to kill the game like Nowitzki.

Jokic received another defensive rebound.

The Warriors' tactic is tantamount to putting the big center outside the three-point line, and Jokic protects the defensive rebounds by hand.

The Nets pushed the fast break again, and Curry jumped in front of him and waved to interfere.

But Jokic's handwork was really good. He squeezed Curry away from one side of his body, and a missile-style backcourt through ball was passed directly to the fast-breaking Butler.

Butler dribbled the ball one step, and when he jumped up, it was a one-handed dunk with Dapeng spreading his wings.

"Boom!"

10 flats!

The Nets chased 6 points in a row and tied the score directly!

Barkley and O'Neal in the commentary looked at each other. They seemed to overestimate Cole's ability and underestimate Tang Tian's strategy.

Cousins' three-pointer is no longer accurate, and the Warriors' offense did not find him again. Durant and Thompson made various mid-range shots to help the Warriors score consecutively, but the Nets' George and Irving are also in good condition. Okay, and the key is tacit understanding. The Warriors' regular lineup can't cope with the seamless conduction of the ball.

Cousins ​​followed and ran back and forth on the court. After the first quarter, the score on the court was 30 to 22, and the Nets unknowingly led by 8 points.

After the first quarter, the Big Three of TNT in the commentary came back to their senses.

"The Warriors still haven't found a way to keep Cousins ​​on the court. In fact, Cousins ​​has a greater impact on the Warriors' defense than offense," Smith said.

Smith's words hit a critical point.

Cousins ​​can shoot three-pointers and support singles, but he is slow as a heavy center.

Aside from the fact that the Nets play fast and he has no time to retreat, even the tacit understanding of the Nets in positional battles cannot be infinitely changed defenses because of his existence.

At the beginning, Cousins' performance in the Pelicans and Davis team's Super Twin Towers was not as good as Cousins' results in leading the team alone, and this is the reason.

All teams in the league are speeding up, and Cousins ​​is transforming as a traditional center, but he still can't jump out of this range.

Cousins ​​now is like Jokic a few years ago, who couldn't even play in the Finals against the Warriors.

In other words, if Cousins ​​wants to play in this kind of game, he must jump out of the range of a traditional center, that is, lose weight and increase speed.

But now that the game is going on, he must be too late.

The two sides entered the transition period of the substitutes in the second quarter. Tang Tian replaced Mitchell early in the first quarter, and now he replaced him again.

Mitchell did not disappoint Tang Tian either. He beat the 35-year-old Iguodala with ease, and led the team to a 12-2 climax, which was more like adding fuel to the fire.

Cole was forced to abandon Cousins ​​again, and the Warriors couldn't beat the regular lineup of the Nets.

In the end, the Nets won the Warriors 127-113 cleanly at home, rewriting the big score to 2-0.

George 26 points and 8 rebounds, Irving 25 points and 6 assists, Mitchell 20 points, Butler 15 points and 5 steals, Anthony 14 points and 5 rebounds, Yi Jianlian 13 points and 7 rebounds, Jokic 10 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists.

The Warriors Durant and Curry scored 60 points together, and Thompson also scored 20 points, but they couldn't hold back the Nets.

Cousins ​​played only 15 minutes, made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds.

Cole said after the last game that he would find a way to let Cousins ​​play, but judging from the results of the game, his method did not work.

Before the start of the finals, no one thought that Cousins, who was originally the biggest weight on the victory scale, would become the biggest problem for the Warriors.

But after watching these two games, they felt that the 2-0 score in front of them was taken for granted.

This is like simple addition and subtraction. The Warriors with Cousins ​​are better than the Nets, but the Warriors without Cousins ​​can't even beat the Nets last season, let alone the Nets. It is said that this season's run-in is more complete and Anthony's Nets are added.

The Warriors still need to find a way to play Cousins, which will affect the final trend of the entire series.
