This Forward is Not Serious

Thompson scored, and Green went over to high-five him excitedly, then roared.

He looked even more excited than Thompson who scored the goal.

Or, this is his way of telling everyone that he is back.

A thing that hasn't been mentioned much yet is that the Warriors in G1 with Green lost, and then the Warriors in G2 with him without him won. If he loses again in G3, then Green will fall into the "win" situation. It’s a double embarrassing situation where the person who loses the ball is embarrassed, and whoever loses the ball is embarrassed.”

So tonight he not only has to win, but also has to have a full presence.

In the Nets' offense, Durant came out to catch the ball.

"Dang!"

Missed.

The rebound was protected by Pachulia.

The Warriors then advanced to the frontcourt, and Curry attacked with the ball.

It was at this time that the Nets made tactical adjustments.

They directly flanked Curry and then let go of Barnes in the bottom corner!

Cole was stunned when he saw this scene, and immediately understood what Karl was doing.

This is to treat others with their own treatment!

In the last game, Cole resolutely let Ariza go, and finally achieved unexpected results. Then the Nets did the same in G3.

After all, the Warriors also have Barnes who struggled to shoot in the finals!

This is what Lin Ying told Durant and also communicated with Karl.

As for whether it can work, it depends on whether Barnes is as "satisfied" as Ariza.

The Warriors play as a team, and the ball quickly moved to Barnes who was in the open position.

Although the Nets had a cover defense, Barnes still got a good shot opportunity when he consciously left the ball open.

His shots are also very quick.

"Dang!"

However, the basketball hit the frame!

Carl clenched his fist unconsciously when he saw this.

Barnes, indeed "live up to expectations"!

Jokic picked off the rebound, and the Nets quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Durant caught the ball in the fast break and shot a three-pointer.

"Dang!"

The ball went in and bounced out!

Durant's touch was very good in the previous two games, but tonight his touch dropped a bit.

Fortunately, the ball was a long rebound. Lin Ying followed up to grab the rebound, then jumped away from Thompson and glided directly with one hand to smash the ball into the basket!

Thompson tried to pull the ball but failed, and was called a defensive foul by the referee.

This was a mistake, and it was a 2+1.

Lin Ying went to the free throw line, and the fans at the scene began to chant "LinK" in unison.

Amid cheers, Lin Yingjia made a free throw.

3 square meters.

In transition between offense and defense, the Nets continue to let go of Barnes!

O'Neal and the others in the commentary box were entertained.

This is to see who is worse between Barnes and Ariza!

But there is one thing. There is someone on the Nets who can replace Ariza, and it will basically not affect the rotation.

But for the Warriors, if Iguodala is forced to play, the strength of the bench will plummet.

Currently, Barnes' independent offensive ability is very limited.

So the Nets continued to let Barnes go, and the Warriors resolutely transferred the ball to Barnes.

This is a characteristic of a team-oriented team, fully trusting teammates.

Barnes received another chance ball.

However, this time he did not take action immediately, but hesitated.

If this was just G1, then Barnes would still take action decisively.

But in the first two games, he has already started to doubt his life.

This is not entirely a matter of ability. Just play with you as a 2K outside shooter. The opportunity comes up and the rhythm is right, but you just can’t make the shot!

In terms of games, it is usually called "The Game of God's Punishment".

Barnes was in such a state in the previous two games.

And now in the third game, he still missed the first shot!

This directly plunged him into a state of high self-blame and self-doubt.

He blames himself because he is a team player, but now he has become a weak link in the team.

It's conceivable if the team loses because he can't score.

Self-doubt is easy to explain. If you keep failing to make a shot, you will inevitably have doubts about your ability.

As for playing games, I won’t play if I’m not lucky today, but not the finals.

So these emotions were mixed together, and he hesitated.

"Vote!"

Green shouted when he saw Barnes hesitate.

He was the kind of person who would even scold his superstar teammates if he was ruthless. He couldn't stand Barnes' hesitation.

Amidst Green's shouts, Barnes finally completed the shot.

"Dang!"

Then, still strike!

After throwing the ball, Barnes kept following the shooting action, and his eyes kept following the ball.

The moment he saw the ball hit the frame, he couldn't hide the frustration on his face.

His mentality is a bit broken!

The rebound was picked off by Durant, who dribbled forward directly for a fast break.

In the Nets' 3-on-2 frontcourt, the ball returned to Durant's hands after a burst of transmission.

Durant took a shot and caused Curry's pulling foul.

The Gemini gave each of the "Splash Brothers" a foul at the beginning.

However, it was a pity that the goal failed to score 2+1.

Durant couldn't help but shook his head when he saw that the ball didn't go in.

It seems that he himself knows that his touch tonight is not very good.

Of course, his free throws are still very stable, and he has two free throws.

When Durant was making a free throw, Cole pulled Curry to communicate for a while.

After the Warriors advanced to the frontcourt, their position changed.

Pachulia mentioned the high post, Green squatted in the bottom corner, and Barnes was cutting without the ball.

Cole noticed the fluctuations in Barnes' mentality, and this adjustment was very targeted.

However, the Nets' defensive strategy did not change. They still let Barnes go and then directly flanked Curry.

Curry tried to pass the ball to Barnes, but with a "pop", the ball was directly stolen by Lin Ying!

Passes to the two corners are difficult to defend because the outermost space of the half-court is the largest.

But as long as you consciously target this kind of pass to the inside, the probability of stealing will increase exponentially.

However, the Warriors retreated very quickly on this ball and retreated early without allowing the Nets to start a fast break.

In the Nets' frontcourt, after Durant and Lin Ying made eye contact for a while, Lin Ying made a new tactical gesture.

Jokic held the ball in the low post on the right side to support, Durant cut in, and Lin Ying lurked on the weak side.

This ball seemed to be Durant's cut-in, which was the main attack, but just when he cut in to attract the defense, Lin Ying suddenly started to use Covington's cover to move directly to the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Jokic's pass came in advance, and Lin Ying took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

Obviously, after Durant realized that his touch was not good, he quickly adjusted to assist Lin Ying!

This is also the most hardcore aspect of their pairing.

They don't have a clear idea of ​​who plays inside and who plays outside, because they are both top offensive players inside and outside.

Whoever feels bad will automatically switch to the in-play mode.

As for both of them feeling bad, this situation is not unheard of. When the 19-game winning streak in the regular season was ended, it was the game against the Clippers.

But the probability of that happening is too low.

3 to 8!

The Nets started much better tonight than in the last game!

It's not that their offense was much better. Durant's consecutive shots missed in the opening game.

Instead, they defended the Warriors' offense.

At this time, some fans who don't watch football have begun to diss Green on social media.

The Warriors offense was like silver in his absence, and struggled when he returned.

In the Warriors' offense, Barnes successfully caught the ball with his cut this time.

But the moment he took action, a long arm fanned the ball directly out of the court!

Durant!

Du Pippin is online!

This slap completely destroyed Barnes' confidence.

He froze on the spot for a while.

Cole sighed after seeing it, turned around and called Iguodala up.

This year is the contract year of Barnes. Barnes also played the best performance of his career, averaging nearly 12 points per game, shooting 46% from the field, and 38% from three-point range. With limited playing time, , this performance is already very good.

In fact, even in the previous playoffs, Barnes' performance was online.

Especially in the Western Conference semifinals when Curry was absent, he even scored 15+ points in that series and was the hero of the team's advancement.

So Cole has been giving him opportunities, and he also knows that the more this situation occurs, the more he must trust Barnes.

Because once he doesn't trust Barnes, Barnes will be completely finished in the finals.

With Barnes gone, the Warriors lost a starting small forward who averaged 12 points per game out of thin air. This loss cannot be made up for at once.

But now, Cole has not lost confidence in Barnes, it is Barnes who has lost confidence in himself.

When the substitutions came down, Cole reached out and patted Barnes on the shoulder, trying to give his favorite some encouragement, but Barnes's expression didn't change.

It can be seen that if Barnes wants to perform now, it depends on whether he can come out.

On the court, the Warriors' offense became significantly smoother after Iguodala came up.

Iguodala is still very strong. Although he is no longer at his peak, he is still a quasi-All-Star.

However, the Warriors still gradually opened up the score during this starting period.

Because Lin Ying exerted his strength.

As Lin Ying himself said before, he doesn't care whether he or Durant wins FMVP, what he cares about is the championship.

So when Durant feels good, he will create opportunities for Durant, and when Durant feels bad, he will naturally step up.

It was during this period that fans suddenly discovered that Lin Ying was more dominant in the game than Durant.

Because Durant's style of play still favors the outside line, which is a bit difficult to handle, but Lin Ying has a balanced inside and outside line and has stronger breakthrough ability.

Lin Ying scored 15 points in a short period of time, fully interpreting the term "explosive scoring power".

By the time this quarter reached 10 minutes, the score on the court was 20-30.

The two sides began to rotate one after another.

Karl kept Lin Ying on the court.

And at this moment, a thin figure suddenly jumped up from the bench.

Between Curry and Dinwiddie, Karl finally chose the former!

This is Curry's first appearance in the playoffs, and his appearance is in the finals.

The photographer at the scene also took the shot immediately, and then in the commentary box, O'Neal and the others also laughed and chatted.

Curry Jr.'s strength is on the edge of the NBA, and the Nets encountered some doubts when they signed him.

When he stayed with the Nets at the trade deadline, there were even more doubts.

So now that I see little Curry on the stage, I get more ridicule.

The on-site photographer then gave a cutaway shot to Curry, who had taken a break and was sitting on the sidelines.

At this time, Curry looked at his younger brother playing on the opposite side, and he was also a little surprised.

But it can still be seen from his eyes that he should be happy at this time.

Who doesn't want to see his brother develop well?

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the lineups on both sides of the court.

Warriors: Livingston, Thompson, Barnes, Speights, Varejao;

Nets: Joseph, Curry Jr., Covington, Lin Ying, West.

When the Warriors attacked, Livingston directly hit Curry with his back in the low post, turned around gracefully, and hit the ball steadily with a fadeaway shot.

Livingston's post-up play is excellent, and Curry Jr.'s defense is indeed ineffective.

His frame is so thin that you might even instinctively wonder if he would be knocked apart in the NBA.

"My grandma can probably defend better than him."

O'Neal made fun of him in the commentary box.

During the Nets' offense, Curry squatted in the corner.

Karl's positioning of Curry is very clear, that is, a space shooter.

Because under normal circumstances, West needs space in isolation. Joseph is a breakthrough player and doesn't have much shooting ability, so he also needs space.

Lin Ying broke through the basket with the ball, instantly attracting the Warriors' shrinking defense, and then he distributed the ball to the opposite corner.

Over there is Curry's position!

Karl was stunned for a moment when he saw this.

He just asked Curry to come up and create space, but he didn't expect Lin Ying to actually pass!

Not only Karl, but others also looked surprised.

It's not that they question Curry's shooting ability. After all, Curry can still stay in the NBA, but he has a good three-point ability.

Although he is not as good as his brother, after all, it was the old Curry who taught him.

But the thing is this is the Finals and he's just playing.

This tests not only ability, but also psychological quality!

Little Curry caught the ball with excitement on his face.

He already felt lucky to be sent on by Karl, but he didn't expect Lin Ying to actually pass!

The Warriors' help defense didn't have time to make up for it immediately.

Curry adjusted his three-point shot.

The trajectory of the ball looks pretty positive.

By the time the ball started to fall, the fans were cheering.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound, the Barclays Center burst into cheers.

Little Curry really put the ball in!

After all, a basketball game is not a math problem. If you are 2, it will always be greater than 1.

If that were the case, it would be impossible for the Warriors to win against the Nets in G2.

Just like now, even Barnes and Ariza have performed inaccurately in the finals. How can a young Curry on the bench hit a shot when he comes on the court?

But, this is the charm of the basketball game.
