This Forward is Not Serious

All the preparations ended on June 1. After waiting for a few days, the 2017 NBA Finals officially kicked off at the Barclays Center.

On this day, the arena was crowded with people, and people were also coming and going at the broadcast booth, making the whole environment extremely lively.

In fact, not only in the arena, more than 300 global media will broadcast the game in real time tonight.

After previous intense publicity, the NBA is about to usher in an unprecedented basketball era.

The live cameras also kept scanning the court, including Lin Ying, James, Curry, Durant, Green, Jokic, Thompson, Rose...

These shots alone have already made some fans' restless hearts boil.

And in the auditorium, fans also found many familiar figures.

For example, in the front row, fans met Kobe and Vanessa, as well as their daughter Giga.

After playing his last playoff game, Kobe blew a kiss to the fans at Staples Center, said the words "mamba.out" with tears in his eyes, and officially bid farewell to the basketball stage.

Although he played longer than ever in history and quit at the last minute, he still regretted not being able to win in the end.

But in the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed, and Kobe has adjusted his mentality and begun to enjoy his post-retirement life with his family.

And he did follow what Lin Ying said, no longer taking a helicopter, but using a car as a means of transportation.

All in all, the camera shows that Kobe's belly has gained weight in less than a month, which fully proves that his life after retirement is so relaxed and comfortable.

During the warm-up before the game, he went down to the court to chat with Lin Ying. The smile that kept on his lips was more than when he was playing together.

Barkley's phrase "Don't take me off the field, I will have plenty of time to rest after I die" was somewhat pretentious. It would be more appropriate if he replaced it with "I will have plenty of time to rest after I retire", but that would seem It is very unimpressive and will not be passed down.

The on-site warm-up is over, followed by the opening ceremony.

Although it has been almost many years, when James from the Warriors came on the stage, the fans still gave him his trademark boos.

New York fans are very vindictive. If they don't "praise Mayor Yang", how can the classic be passed down forever!

Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, James, Green.

Cole immediately changed his lineup in the opening game and started with the "final version of the Death Five".

It seems that facing an old acquaintance of the Nets, he chose to skip the foreplay.

The Nets still have the regular five: Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, and Jokic.

Lu Lian's tactics are clear, and staying the same to cope with all changes is his biggest trump card.

During the final preparations for the opening ceremony, Lu directly named Jokic.

Although the tactics are simple, as the best head coach, Lu is not a mascot. Targeting something has always been his specialty.

The little fat man is also eager to try, although he has already had a brilliant performance against the Knicks before.

But, what is something that you would be satisfied with once you have enjoyed it?

During the Warriors' half, Cole also seized the last moment to emphasize the problem of interior defense.

Since he chose to start with five small players, he obviously also targeted it on the defensive end.

The short whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the game began immediately, and the starting players from both sides came on stage one after another.

The cheers of the fans at the scene can no longer be stopped, and the curtain of the most star-studded finals in NBA history is about to begin.

James did not continue to throw powder before taking the court. After he left the Cavaliers, he canceled this ceremony.

Jump ball from Jokic and Green in the center circle.

The courtside whistle sounded, and Jokic easily moved the ball back to the Nets' half, and the home team got the opportunity to attack first.

Jokic came up and sank to the low post. The Nets' No. 3 tactic: the fat man's singles.

But before Jokic caught the ball, Green took him a step outside. Then when Jokic caught the ball, Thompson on the strong side had already quickly flanked him inside.

The Nets' field configuration is three All-Stars plus two role players.

Cole's strategy is not to switch defenses endlessly, but to attack the three All-Stars and leave two role players open.

As someone who has performed well in the finals, he knows that it is difficult for role players to perform in such a competition.

And his priority is to let go of players like Ariza whose outside shooting is unstable.

Jokic decisively distributed the ball to the outside, and Ariza made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The trajectory of the ball is very positive.

"Dang!"

But unfortunately, Cole's judgment was still very accurate. Ariza's three-pointer was indeed missed!

The Warriors' defensive strategy worked!

But just as the basketball hit the frame, Jokic had already used his fat body to run over Green's face, and then successfully grabbed the offensive rebound with accurate prediction!

Green's lower body strength is excellent, and his black and tough top is very effective, but it is not that useful against a nimble fat guy like Jokic.

Moreover, Jokic's static physical talent is very good, and there is no such thing as Green's late strike to grab the board.

In the eyes of the fans, after Jokic turned around to grab the offensive rebound, he turned around and pressed Green to wipe the board from close range.

Green is completely helpless when faced with this style of play.

So in the end, the Warriors' defensive strategy was only half correct.

Fortunately, the Warriors played efficiently on the offensive end, and the splash opened up the space. James broke through Ariza to the basket and scored with a small pull-up layup after a confrontation.

It must be admitted that although James has been failing over the years, his skills have continued to improve.

Moreover, his personal desire to attack was also very strong at the beginning.

Just like McGrady said in the show before, since he has chosen the most difficult road, he must have no reservations in order to succeed.

In the Nets' offense, Jokic continued to hold the ball in the low post, and the Warriors also continued to attack.

Ariza got another chance, and this time it was better than the previous one.

After all, when you fail to score, your opponents will only pay less and less attention to you.

Ariza adjusted this time before taking action.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound, Ariza's three-pointer hit the net.

Don’t mistake Tiezha for being a shooter!

Although this "3" is not very stable, it is still a well-known 3D in the league!

2 to 5!

The Nets scored in two consecutive rounds at the beginning, and they are in hot shape!

However, James rushed Ariza and scored with a layup against Durant's attack.

After scoring the goal, James immediately looked at the referee and stretched out his hand to indicate that he had been fouled. However, when he saw that the whistle was not blown, he spread his hands and walked to the backcourt.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jokic continued to ask for the ball in the low post. This time the Warriors chose Curry's top of the arc to attack inside.

However, the effect of this ball's double hit is obviously not as high as the previous one, because this is Curry, and it comes from the top of the arc.

Jokic directly chose to attack the basket. After continuous confrontation, he turned around and then turned around. Before Curry could arrive, he had already shot a rebound shot from the baseline.

Green was crushed around by a ball of white flesh. He stretched out his hand to fight back, but he found that he couldn't grasp the thing at all.

"boom!"

Jokic completed a rebound shot over Green.

The basketball rubbed the net bag and entered the frame!

The little fat man has been holding it in for so long, how could he be done in just a few strokes?

But looking back, it was James again. This time he broke through the basket again, attracted a double attack and passed the ball to Green at the top of the arc.

After Green received the ball, he was completely different from before. When he saw Jokic far away from him, he shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, you vote and you get it!

After two minutes of play, the two teams were tied 7-7!

From tactical targeting to game execution, both teams showed superb levels.

And you have to know that this is even before the "Splash Brothers" and "Texas Twins" have performed well.

The opening two sides were more like a confrontation between Jokic and James.

But it was just a duel like this, and both sides had already fully demonstrated their level.

But soon, the Nets' wave of offense was blocked.

Jokic continued to attack the basket, but this time James shrank to the basket without Jokic noticing, and fanned the ball directly out of the court the moment Jokic took action!

After blocking the shot, James excitedly performed the iconic "The.slience" celebration on the sidelines, showing his domineering spirit.

Both teams played perfectly in the opening game, and in this case, details are the key to determining the outcome of the game.

In a duel between masters, success or failure is determined by details.

In fact, the situation that followed on the field also proved this.

James' block boosted the Warriors' morale on the court, and they successfully defended against the Nets' attack.

James turned around to collect the defensive rebound and then played a fast break. He ran to the frontcourt in one line, confronted Lin Ying and then layup for two more points.

Although the pace was a bit messy, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Then in the next round, Jokic was flanked at the basket and passed the ball to Bradley, but the Warriors became more motivated. Bradley's shot was interfered and hit the frame, and the rebound was protected by Green.

The Warriors bench was abuzz.

The fans at the scene were agitated.

The Warriors relied on the details of these two rounds to take the initiative on the court.

James continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and now they had a chance to open the score.

James continued to break through and push Ariza, and there was a splash to open up space. He was still the same "boat", coming and going freely in the sea.

Jokic shrank to the basket at this time, but James made a beautiful turn around and then made a low layup.

When James can play with skills one day, refer to James in the 2018 playoffs, he is basically undefendable.

But at the moment he took action, a figure suddenly shot out from the side, jumped up high,

"boom!"

A slap sent James' shot flying off the court!

Lin Ying!

This is revenge for the little fat man!

But what's more interesting is Lin Ying's reaction after blocking the shot.

Immediately after he landed, he made one of my signature "listening" gestures.

This wave directly clashed with James' previous celebration.

"The.slience" means "away silencer", and "listening" at this time means making the fans cheer louder.

Then, the cheers at Barclays Center exploded, and the sound wave seemed to overturn the entire arena.

What an away silencer? This is not Cleveland, but New York, which is already hostile to James!

James's celebration in front of him was nothing but hatred in the eyes of the fans at the scene. Now that they have a chance, how can they still sit still!

The atmosphere of the finals was also pushed to its first climax tonight at this moment.

Lin Ying took the lead, and Durant followed suit. The Warriors sent a sideline ball, and Green's three-pointer from the outside was slapped back by Durant who flew out!

This is the hot pot feast of Texas Gemini!

The Gemini didn't fire first on the offensive end like in the past, but the defensive end started to work first!

Bradley picked up the ball from the outside, took three steps and two steps, rushed forward and flew for a layup.

But the moment he took action, a figure flew over his head like a dark cloud and slapped the ball in his hand.

"boom!"

Appeared, classic James chasing hats!

There was a commotion in the place.

The two teams showed off their offensive skills at the beginning, but now they started to compete with each other for a hot pot feast!

The ball is back in the hands of the Warriors.

Curry finally started getting the ball.

James has played so many rounds in a row, and just rushed from the backcourt to the backcourt to chase a shot, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

Curry didn't need to warm up his hands when he came up. He passed the ball directly to Green from the top of the arc, and then took a quick three-pointer hand-to-hand.

Only Curry and Green can hit this ball, and in order to avoid Jokic's interference, Curry is half-sideways when shooting this ball.

Either you don't want to cum, or if you want to cum, it's very difficult to enter from the side.

"Uh-huh!"

One shot into the soul!

The scene was agitated.

12 to 7!

The Warriors still widened the point difference!

After scoring the goal, Curry made a gesture of praying to God.

Don't think he entered the league late. He only entered the NBA after playing in college for three years. He is only 4 years younger than James.

He also needs more championships to prove himself.

Now the pressure is on the Nets. If they can't score yet, then the Warriors will firmly grasp the initiative if they continue to expand the point difference.

At the critical moment, Durant was the first to stand up for the Nets.

He came out without the ball to receive a pass from Jokic, and faced James with a knife in his hand.

James' ball had already hit Durant's face, but in the end he still couldn't stop Durant from scoring!

What a fight between gods!

The first few rounds were all reasonable goals, but when the scorers on both sides started to get on the line, it became harder and harder to score!

Curry missed another three-pointer in the frontcourt.

The Nets' defensive motivation and adjustments were very quick tonight.

After experiencing an underdog battle against the Knicks, they had completely made psychological adjustments before the finals.

It was the same with the Warriors. Durant's movement was closely watched by the Warriors' five small teams, and Lin Ying saw it and took the ball directly to Huanglong.

James defended all the way, and Green quickly helped defend when Lin Ying broke through to the three-second zone.

After seeing this, Lin Ying jumped into the air and made a fake pass, then drifted and turned while pulling the ball back, a dodge lever.

"Snapped!"

James' block hit Lin Ying's hand.

However, it failed to stop Lin Ying from taking action.

After the ball went up, it paused at the edge of the basket, and then climbed in!

and.one!

"God!"

After Lin Ying scored the goal, Barkley had his head in his hands.

What an epic showdown this is!
