The Godfather of Basketball - v2 Chapter 841
The Nets played fast in the frontcourt and Irving missed a three-pointer.
Looking back, it was the cooperation of Curry and Cousins. The Nets also chose to clamp Curry. Curry shot to Cousins for the first time, Cousins continued to shoot.
“Oh!”
Three points back!
Cousins has an excellent outside feel!
“Steve Cole’s ability is not worse than his old boss, this adjustment is really immediate.” Barkley said with emotion.
“Not only the players play, but the tactical game between the head coaches is also quite interesting.” O’Neal said with a smile.
“Cole left the burden of the problem to Tang Tian.” Smith also echoed.
The change on the court is like playing chess between masters.
Mitchell’s breakthrough layup missed the frontcourt, the Nets missed two consecutive attacks.
The Warriors attacked the frontcourt to continue playing pick-and-rolls. Durant went to Cousins for a pick-and-roll after the Nets also double-teamed!
This is obviously a tactical arrangement to prevent sudden release.
Durant returned the ball to Cousins.
George consciously guarded out, but Cousins shot quickly.
“boom!”
The ball was not scored and the rebound was caught by Jokic.
The Nets counterattacked directly. Jokic passed a long pass to George. George flung Cousins and rushed to the front court to round a windmill dunk!
The Barclays Center was ignited.
George continued his fiery performance.
“Defend! Defend!”
The buck also ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
On the weak side of the Warriors, Thompson’s three-point shot was disturbed and not scored.
Jokic took a quick break after receiving the rebound.
The Nets were faster when Yi Jianlian was on the court, and Jokic was relatively slow when he was on the court, but the shot was very fast. The Nets played three times in the front court. Thug foul.
Although the lineup is different, the core of the Nets ‘tactics has not changed, which is to play the Warriors’ best counterattack.
As well as the strength of the enemy, Cousins couldn’t keep up.
After making two free throws, the score on the court was 8-10. Looking at Cousins’ scoring outside, but the Nets did not fall behind at all.
Curry went to the frontcourt and went to Cousins.
The Nets ‘defensive counterattack is based on the Warriors’ offensive failure. As long as they score, everything is easy to say.
Almost exactly the same opportunity, except that George flew faster this time, Cousins was blocked before he shot.
“You can’t make it.” George said slyly after he posted it.
Cousins was so grumpy that he shot George after he squeezed away.
George straightened his hand to keep the interference down, and the ball passed over George’s head.
“boom!”
Did not score in three points!
After hitting both shots, Cousins scored with both shots.
This is what Cousins is capable of now. His three-pointer is enough to be a tactical point, but there is still some distance to kill the game like Nowitzki.
Jokic closed the defensive rebound.
The Warriors’ tactic is equivalent to putting the center and the outside of the three-point line, and Jokic is handy in protecting the defensive rebounds.
The Nets pushed the fast break again, Curry waved in front of him and waved to interfere with the realization.
But Jokic’s hand work was really good. One side of the body squeezed out of the Curry, and a missile-type backfield straight ball passed directly to Butler.
Butler took the ball to take a step, and flying up and down was a one-handed split with Dapeng spreading his wings.
“Oh!”
10 flat!
The Nets chased 6 points at a stretch and tied the score directly!
The commentary’s Buckley and O’Neal 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 went around to help the Warriors score continuously in various middle distances, but the Nets and George and Irving were also in a good state. Well, and the key is tacit understanding. Seeing the stitch-like conduction ball makes the Warriors’ regular lineup a bit unprepared.
Cousins followed the turn and ran on the court. The score in the first quarter was 30 to 22, and the Nets unknowingly led by 8 points.
After this first quarter, the TNT Big Three of the commentator came back.
“The Warriors still haven’t found a way to keep Cousins on the court. In fact, compared to offense, Cousins has a greater impact on the Warriors’ defense.” Smith began to analyze.
Smith’s words come to a key point.
Cousins can shoot threes and can play singles, but only as a heavy center is slower.
Aside from the Nets playing fast, he can’t wait to retreat, even the tacit understanding of the Nets in positional battles can’t be infinitely changed because of his existence.
Cousins’ performance in the Pelicans and Davis Super Twin Towers was not as good as that of Cousins leading the team alone, which is why.
All the league’s teams are speeding up. Cousins, as a traditional center, is transforming, but still can’t jump out of this range.
Cousins is now like Jokic a few years ago. He couldn’t play in the finals when playing the Warriors.
In other words, if Cousins wants to play in this kind of game, he must jump out of the traditional center, that is, reduce weight and increase speed.
But now the game is playing, he must be too late.
In the second quarter, the two sides entered the substitute connection. Tang Tian replaced Mitchell in the first quarter and replaced him again.
Mitchell did not disappoint Tang Tian. He was able to beat Igodala, 35 years old, and led a wave of 12 to 2 climax, more like adding fuel to the fire.
Cole was forced to abandon Cousins again, and the Warriors’ five deaths are also beyond the regular lineup of the Nets.
In the end, the Nets won the Warriors cleanly at 127 to 113 at home, rewriting the big score to 2-0.
George had 28 points and 8 rebounds, Irving 27 points and 6 assists, Mitchell 20 points, Butler 16 points and 5 steals, Anthony 15 points and 5 rebounds, Yi Jianlian 14 points and 7 rebounds, Jokic 10 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists.
The Warriors Durant and Curry scored 60 points together ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Thompson also scored 20 points, but the Nets can’t stand the flowers.
Cousins only played for 15 minutes, 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 4 3s, 12 points and 5 rebounds.
Cole said after the last game that he would find a way to get Cousins on the court, but from the results of the game, his method did not work.
Before the start of the finals, no one expected that Cousins, who was 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 score of 2-0 was taken for granted.
This is like a simple addition and subtraction. The Warriors with Cousins is better than the Nets, but the Warriors without Cousins can’t even beat the Nets last season, let alone. Said that this season’s run-in was more complete and added Anthony’s Nets.
The Warriors still need to find a way to get Cousins on the court, and this will affect the final trend of the entire series.
