Just when Green was excited, the Nets adjusted their style of play.
Lin Ying set a pick-and-roll for Bradley, causing a mismatch. After receiving the ball, he started to play Curry alone.
How could the Nets not use the killer move they had figured out in the regular season in the finals?
Although the purpose of this section is not to consume Curry and prevent Curry from scoring, Curry is the Warriors' defensive breakthrough!
The Warriors did it simply, just like they defended Jokic before, they directly attacked from the side.
Lin Ying passed the ball out, and the Warriors rotated to help defend. After Durant received the ball, he saw... Green.
Durant:?乛v乛?
The fans were also excited when they saw this scene.
The two people who had a big quarrel before the game faced each other now!
In terms of matchup, Green is facing off against Lin Ying, and he is the Warriors' defensive strength. In theory, there are not many opportunities to face off against Durant.
But theory is theory and reality is reality.
Durant's eyes were shining brightly and he changed direction directly to break through Green.
Green is not a vegetarian. He was selected to the defensive first team in the previous All-NBA selection.
His defensive awareness, physical condition, and defensive experience are all online. He has entered the peak period of defense. He...
"Whoa!"
Durant's emergency stop and pull-out hit!
Green can't keep up.
His defense is stronger in interior confrontations. The size of the third position can match the strength of the fifth position, and his flexibility is better than that of ordinary interior players.
But this year, in order to better serve as a center in a small-ball lineup, he gained a lot of weight, which inevitably reduced his flexibility.
Moreover, Durant is the size of the fourth position, and his playing style is the third or even the second position. Unless Durant plays from behind, Green will be in a standard mismatch.
Comfortable!
After Durant shot in front of Green, his whole body felt a sense of pleasure.
Sure enough, chatting and talking is not as fun as offline PK!
However, Green was not as angry as expected, and his mood did not even fluctuate much.
Durant seriously underestimated this guy's face.
The Warriors' offense, Thompson faced the defense's three-point shot but still failed!
Tonight’s basket is really covered!
Unless he creates an excellent shooting opportunity like Durant did just now, this ball will really not go in!
In the Nets' offense, Lin Ying continued to look for Curry in the frontcourt, and the Warriors also continued to attack.
But this time they chose to attack from the weak side.
Then, Lin Ying broke through and hit the basket.
The flanking attack from the weak side was too late for Lin Ying.
Green retreated to the basket and struggled to stop Lin Ying. Lin Ying sent the ball directly to the right.
With his reaction speed at full speed, Green turned around to defend the ball, and then he saw... Durant.
Durant:╰(*°▽°*)╯
"Bang!"
Durant's long arm smashed the ball directly into the basket through Green!
This ball can actually be put up, but...
It’s like I was just planning to go to the hotel to chat, but when I saw the person opposite me wearing a black silk suit, I instantly became brave!
Green felt as if he was not able to react in time and was confused in the face.
But after reacting, his expression finally changed.
In the Warriors' offense, Curry faked a three-point shot and then broke through to the basket to cause damage. Finally, he had a chance to break the scoring drought.
Made both free throws.
The score on the field was 4 to 2.
The two sides played for more than four minutes and did not score 10 points in total.
While this game is abnormal, it also means that every round will become crucial.
At this time, the Warriors' defense made some changes, and Barnes and Green switched defenses.
Green took the initiative to confront Durant!
And before the Nets started attacking, Green started talking trash.
"You can only hide behind Lin now, right? Come on! Hit me!"
Is Green angry?
affim.
No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't remain indifferent to being harassed.
Is Green on his head?
Not really.
The purpose of his trash talk was to force Durant to ask for the ball and beat him alone.
There is nothing wrong with this choice.
Because the Nets' current tactical strategy is to keep looking for Curry in misplaced positions.
The Warriors can't let Curry be consumed, they can only help defend, and they can only help defend with a strong side.
With Lin Ying's passing ability, he will be able to pass the ball out with strong defense, and if the timing is just right, his teammates will have a good chance.
And although Green didn't guard Durant in the first two rounds, Durant was more of a dynamic offense, and his weaknesses were magnified.
But if Durant wants the ball for a one-on-one confrontation, he may not be able to guard it.
Durant: I have never heard such a request in my life!
He leaned directly against Green and reached for the ball.
Bradley glanced at Lin Ying, who made a single gesture.
The rest of the Nets pulled away, Bradley gave the ball in and then took Curry away through the back door. Durant got a chance to play Green one-on-one.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Durant scored consecutively in front of Green, and they also hoped that Green could stop Durant.
Durant still chooses to attack facing the frame.
But this time Green is obviously not so easy to get rid of.
In such one-on-one singles, Green is indeed more confident in his defense than before.
Durant finally chose to turn around and shoot.
Green accurately predicted and took off first, causing Durant to interfere.
The fans at the scene were extremely excited when they saw this scene.
Durant is the easy one!
"Whoa!"
But the next second, their excited expressions stopped.
Durant's difficult shot still made it!
Even Green was stunned after landing.
He has defended to this extent, but Durant can still make a shot?!
Durant had already smiled and ran to high-five Lin Ying.
In most cases, the difference between super giants and ordinary stars is that they can directly enter the attacking state without using hot hands.
But once they get into the groove, they become unstoppable.
Durant's continuous scoring not only allowed him to lift the lid of the basket, but also turned the basket into a sea!
Curry continued to break through in the frontcourt, but his shot was destroyed by Lin Ying!
Maybe you don't feel it when shooting, but when you break through, you can see that Curry is playing with an injury, and his take-off speed has obviously slowed down.
The rebound was picked off by Jokic, and the Nets launched a defensive counterattack. Bradley assisted Durant to follow up and scored two more points.
8 to 2!
The Nets' 8 opening points all came from Durant, and the "Reaper" waved his harvesting scythe in the opening game again!
The scene was agitated.
Playing at home, they were pushed to the ground at the beginning. This was obviously not a situation they wanted to see.
And the key is that Curry's condition is not good, and the Warriors can't play the wave they are good at.
Cole made a substitution adjustment at this time and directly replaced Pachulia with Iguodala.
In adversity, Kerr showed the Warriors' trump card.
This card really works.
As soon as the "Death Five" came into play, the Warriors' offensive rhythm in the frontcourt obviously sped up.
The Warriors played a "whirlwind tactic" in this round, which was the tactic Lin Ying had seen against Iowa State University in Naa.
Curry screened Thompson on the left, then quickly moved to the right three-point line, but suddenly stopped midway to screen and roll for Barnes. Barnes cut to the basket and received a pass from Green for a layup. .
This was copied from Cole, and it fits the Warriors' five-mini strategy very well.
Of course, the most important thing is to catch him by surprise.
Because the Warriors' offense itself has a lot of pick-and-roll three-pointers and roll-downs, it's hard to tell what tactics they will use in a possession.
This is also the Warriors' first sports goal tonight.
8 to 4.
The difference in points is actually not that big.
Cole also stood up at this time to signal his teammates' defensive positions.
He invented the five primary players, and he knows the advantages and disadvantages of this lineup better than Walton.
Now the average height difference between the two teams on the field is very different. Many points are defensive disadvantages and must rely on high-speed help defense rotation to defend.
As soon as Jokic caught the ball in the low post, he quickly distributed the ball.
But as soon as the ball was delivered to him, the Warriors had already switched defenses to make up for it.
Five small players, unlimited defense changes, quick assist defense rotation, and not afraid of misalignment, this is the key to the defensive end.
The Nets tried another wave of offense and still didn't have the same chances as before.
Lin Ying went to the outside to catch the ball. He glanced at the defense, and then signaled Durant to prepare for a singles.
With the intensity of the finals, he didn't want to enter the white-hot space too early and consume his physical energy too early.
Moreover, Durant started with a hot touch, so there is no harm in playing more.
In addition, Iguodala is guarding Durant, which should be a point where the Warriors will not double attack.
Facts also proved his judgment. When he fed the ball in and then moved to the weak side, the Warriors did not get caught in a double attack.
Compared with Green, Iguodala's flexibility is much better.
And his confrontation is not weak, and he is not afraid of Durant's back hit.
Of course, the most important thing is his defensive experience. Limited by his offensive talent, he can only be a second-in-command, but he is also an excellent second-in-command with both offense and defense.
Durant took a one-on-one shot with his back to the basket and then turned around and leaned back.
But just before he leaned back.
"Crack!"
Iguodala made a decisive move and cut the ball out of Durant's hand!
Although he is well-suited to guard Durant in all aspects, Iguodala also has his defensive disadvantage: height.
If Durant is really allowed to pull up and take a shot, he can only look at the ball and sigh in wonder like other defenders.
So his choice was to cut the ball, and it was a precise "scalpel" style cut.
The ball in Durant's hand was cut off, but he did not lose the ball.
Because this was not the first time he faced off against Iguodala, he was also guarding against his move.
Although he failed to guard it in the end, he had regained control of the ball the moment after it was cut.
He made a mistake and turned around to attack the basket.
Because of his high center of gravity, the ball looked a little staggering, but it still reached the basket smoothly.
But Green had already shrunk to the basket at this time.
Originally, Durant was being chased by Iguodala and wanted to take action quickly, but as soon as he saw Green, he became excited again and jumped up with all his might.
Green:(?_?)
Naturally, Green would not let the same thing happen a second time.
This time he pushed directly towards the jumping Durant.
Durant lost his balance in the air, but he shot the ball before that happened.
"Whoa!"
Facts have once again proved that the super giant will become unstoppable after entering the state. Durant still threw the ball in even though his body was out of balance!
However, the price of this ball was a bit high. He did not have Lin Ying's super aerial combat ability. He lost his balance after this ball and fell heavily to the floor.
Jokic went straight up and pushed Green.
Everyone has misjudged Jokic's temper. Looking at the harmless little fat guy, he can sometimes have a bad temper on the court.
This is normal. All the brothers are evil men, but the younger brother is a docile man.
The players on both sides soon faced each other, and the atmosphere of the game instantly became intense.
Lin Ying did not go up at this time. He quickly walked to Durant to see Durant's condition.
Durant rested on the ground for a while before getting up, and the team doctor also came up at this time.
Fortunately, Durant landed on his butt, and other than a slight pain in his butt, there was no discomfort whatsoever.
Karl, who was originally nervous on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
If Durant is injured, the Nets' efforts throughout the season will be in vain.
After he was relieved, he ran to the referee and cursed to express his dissatisfaction.
The referee obviously knew about this guy's bad temper and hurriedly turned around and took other referees to watch the video.
The game entered a technical timeout.
After the timeout, the referee issued a penalty. Jokic received a technical foul and Green received a first-level flagrant foul.
Karl took Jokic off to let him cool down, then replaced him with James Johnson.
This substitution is very spiritual, a bit like "We promise not to use nuclear weapons, but if you cross the line, then I'm sorry"!
This also made the scene agitated.
If Johnson is replaced at this point, everyone knows what Karl wants to do.
Many times, winning a fight (war) doesn't mean anything. What is really powerful is nuclear deterrence, which will make the other party have no courage to fight you.
Both sides executed the penalty. The Warriors got one free throw opportunity because of a technical foul, and the Nets got two free throw opportunities because of a flagrant foul.
Because the technical foul at this time is still one free throw and one throw, the ball rights are offset. In the end, Curry makes one free throw, Durant counts three additional free throws, and the ball rights on the court remain unchanged.
All free throws on both sides were made. The score on the court was 11 to 5, and the Warriors had the ball.
When the Warriors attacked in the frontcourt, Green did not continue to deal cards at the top of the key, but went to the free throw line to continuously pick and roll.
This is also a characteristic of the Warriors this season, because Walton's coaching has given him a lot of freedom, so even if Cole returns, their style of play will be more varied.
But at this moment, Green felt someone elbowed him during the pick-and-roll.
He just waved his hand and pushed the other person.
"Bang!"
Then what made him confused was that he got punched at that moment!
This punch hurt a lot.
He didn't react at first, but the burning pain on his face made him instantly angry. He waved his fist and tried to fight back.
But after seeing the other person's face clearly, he suddenly woke up, and when he saw that the other person wanted to take action, he immediately raised his hands consciously. gif.
Chapter completed!
