The Godfather of Basketball

The scene was restless.

With Durant's height and wingspan, he was dunked just like that, and he was still a 2+1!

George's ball is really domineering, and he really wants to make trouble!

Durant saw the referee's gesture and jumped up from the ground to find the referee's theory.

There was booing too.

Even Kerr ran to the sidelines and yelled.

This penalty is very critical. If Durant’s foul is called, then the Nets will get 2+1, but if it is an offensive foul, then the Nets will not only score no points, but also get the ball directly. warriors.

Under the pressure of the scene, the referee signaled to watch the video playback.

Because it was requested by the referee himself, this will not deduct the number of timeouts of the two teams, and it can be regarded as a result acceptable to both sides.

The scene was also temporarily quiet.

The referee watched the replay of the video over and over again on the technical platform, and the big LED screen on the scene also replayed the previous round over and over again.

Durant's take-off position was within the reasonable collision zone, and there was an obvious downward movement of his hands after the take-off.

This is a pretty standard defensive foul.

The referee's decision was not wrong.

Cole is so excited because his view is completely blocked by George's body.

The referee announced that the original penalty was maintained, and the scene was booed.

But that's the end result.

George goes to the free throw line.

The boos were even worse.

George took a deep breath and scored the ball under the pressure.

There are only 23 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors still have one full shot clock left.

But they are still 5 points behind.

Kerr called a timeout.

"Everyone goes beyond the three-point line." Tang Tian's arrangement during the timeout was very simple. The Warriors can only bet on the three-pointer now.

Back from the timeout, the Warriors served from the backcourt, and Curry dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt.

Except for Jokic at the free throw line, all four of the Nets have expanded to three points.

This shows that you can ask for two points, but never give three points.

The Warriors used tactics on the outside to cooperate with pick-and-rolls. It can be seen that Kerr did not risk 2 points, but a 3-pointer.

A very normal choice.

However, the defensive density of the Nets' outside line is too high, and the space for crowds is squeezed to death, and there is no good chance to make a move at all.

Especially Curry, knowing that he will throw super long, almost always has two people marking.

Curry was almost forced to the midfield, and without any shot angle, he flicked the ball to Durant.

Durant was one meter away from the three-point line. After taking two steps, seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, he took a step back and forced a shot.

The ball was almost thrown blindly.

George's hand also completely blocked Durant's view.

When the fans saw this shot, many of them covered their faces and dared not look at it.

"boom!"

Under the interference of the ball, the angle and strength were obviously not well grasped. It hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.

Jokic and Green at the basket, Butler and Iguodala are all struggling to stay in the card position.

It's a game-changing rebound.

"Shua!"

However, the ball bounced up and fell for the second time, and even rubbed against the frame and entered the net bag!

Durant scored a fairy ball!

The cheers erupted in an instant.

The point difference was chased to 2 points!

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called for a timeout.

He looked up at the timer, and there were still 5.2 seconds left. Durant's magic ball brought back the suspense of the game, and then it was more execution and free throws.

After the timeout, the Nets made substitution adjustments, Irving, Mitchell, Butler, Anthony, George.

This is a standard free-throw lineup, each with a career and season free-throw percentage above 80%.

The Warriors defended the whole court tightly, and fouls were their second choice. The first choice was naturally to steal the Nets' serve.

But they didn't succeed. The Nets had strong tactical execution. The ball came out of George's hand and was successfully delivered to Butler.

Butler dribbled the ball and was fouled by Green.

4.6 seconds, Butler's free throw.

At this time, as long as two free throws are made, the Nets will basically win the game; if one of two free throws is made, the Warriors will have a chance to enter overtime, and if they miss both free throws, the Warriors will have a chance to kill.

After the referee indicated 2 free throws, he then gave the ball to Butler.

The cheers at the scene were deafening, and the decibels were so high that it hurt the ears.

Butler took a deep breath, dribbled the ball, glanced at the basket and shot.

"boom!"

The ball was shot with too little force, the ball hit the front of the basket for a moment, and then rolled out.

First penalty, missed!

The scene burst into cheers.

Forfeiting this penalty is equivalent to giving the Warriors a chance!

Tang Tian hurriedly signaled Jokic to play.

A short whistle from the sidelines, Jokic came on to replace Anthony.

Butler's second free throw.

The scene was still filled with overwhelming noise.

Butler added some strength this time.

"Shua!"

The ball hits the net hollow.

Two free throws were made.

"Go! Go!"

Cole didn't call for a timeout at this time, and yelled directly to Iguodala, who got the ball in the backcourt.

Iguodala sent the ball from the backcourt, and Curry accelerated directly to the frontcourt.

Cole wanted to catch Jokic on the court and caught the Nets by surprise.

But Tang Tian was Cole's old boss, and with his previous life's understanding, he had long been on guard against this move.

Curry was blocked by Butler just after taking two dribbles. He barely dribbled through the midfield and ran out of time, so he had to make a strong shot against Butler's defense.

"beep!"

When he shot, the red light on the sidelines was already on.

This is a life-and-death shot.

The fans at the scene all aimed at the spinning basketball.

But the pitch was obviously a bit short.

"boom!"

The ball hits the front edge of the backboard and pops out.

Curry's ultra-long three-pointer failed to make it!

Butler missed a free throw, but made up for it with a final 3-pointer off Curry.

The Warriors regrettably lost!

After seeing it, the audience put their heads in their hands and couldn't bear to accept the result.

They led by 15 points at halftime, and they were reversed again!

They have been 3-0 by the Nets!

The players of the Nets celebrated wildly on the court, while the expressions of the players of the Warriors looked helpless and depressed.

This is the closest they have come to winning in three games, but God failed to favor them in the end.

After the handshake ceremony, Cole left the court early with the players.

At the press conference, Cole looked downcast for the first time since the finals when faced with questions from the media.

He has done everything he can as a manager.

Facts have proved that Cousins ​​​​is a double-edged sword for the Warriors. It is invincible when used well, but it does more harm than good after being targeted.

And because Cousins ​​came back in the second half of the season, this problem was not exposed in the regular season and the previous playoffs. Until now, after trying all the methods in the finals, he now has no room for adjustment. There is nothing to say.

Even further, there is a high probability that Cousins ​​will not stay with the team next season, and he has no chance to try to lose weight and speed up Cousins.
