The Godfather of Basketball

Three years later, the team coached by Tang Tian finally reached the finals again.

However, unlike all previous coaching teams, no one in his team is truly a superstar, and their opponent is the first full-vote mvp library leader in nba history. Warriors.

Prior to the start of the finals, the fans and the media's views on the finals were completely two-sided.

"Although Curry's injury made the process a little ups and downs, but this team put the West's biggest enemy, the Thunder, off the horse, and after the finals opponents changed from Cavaliers to Nets, they are far from the final championship. Only 4 games left! "

"Who can defend the Curry with the Nets? Who can follow Thompson, or when Cole poses the fifth death, the Nets have a solution? They don't even have a superstar! Take the head and the Warriors Hit? "

"Seriously, if I were Xiao Hua, it would be better to adjust the penalty scale early to let the Cavaliers advance to the finals. Although I don't think the Cavaliers can finally win the game, the Nets have no chance, and The stars are dim. "

...

This is the fans who support the Warriors. In their view, the difference between the Nets and the Warriors' strength is too much, the Warriors will take the Nets to win two consecutive championships.

"The Nets have a competitive starting lineup, deep bench depth, and a perfect team system. Of course, they also have Tang Tian. Their reversal of the Cavaliers is not entirely accidental, and the reversal of the Cavaliers is for this team. With infinite experience, they really have a chance to win the finals. "

"While people continue to talk about how this team's paper strength is not enough, they ignore the most basic state of affairs. The 11-year-old Mavericks led by Nowitzki are far worse than this, but they eventually He also made it to the finals. One year ago, the Cavaliers led by James were single-core champions in 10 years. These are history. History tells us that just looking at paper strength and ignoring performance is a hooligan. They really Have the capital to fight the warriors. "

"Deron, Jimmy Butler, Eric Gordon, Yi Jianlian, Jokic, David West, McGrady, Oden, really take a closer look at the Nets, they really do like you said Was that tough? Or maybe you both have selective amnesia. Is the Nets the only team to sweep the Warriors in the regular season? "

...

These are the support and optimistic views of the Nets fans and the media. After watching the Nets' performance in the Eastern Conference, they are relatively optimistic about the Nets.

The views on both sides are completely opposite. The former is the view of most people. In their view, the Nets' victory over the Cavaliers and the Cavaliers themselves are not related, and the Warriors were pushed into extremity by the Thunder because of Curry's injuries Problem, and now Curry is almost recovered.

Even like the starlight problem mentioned by some fans, they compared the western finals to the finals, and the upcoming finals are not so attractive.

However, regardless of the outside world's attention, the media and fans' views, the finals will open the curtain, the Nets flew to Auckland, will challenge the defending champion Warriors at the Oracle Arena.

The gilded team, because of its proximity to San Francisco, is what many people describe about this team.

After taking in the golden championship trophy last year, now they are going to pick up their second.

And it's very interesting that the current head coach of the Warriors Steve Cole is Tang Tian's first assistant coach.

It is more interesting to think about it more. Cole made his debut and peak like Tang Tian. He won the championship trophy in the first season of coaching. Now he has the opportunity to establish a dynasty in the early days of coaching.

To accomplish this goal, the first thing he needs to do is to defeat Tang Tian's Nets and successfully complete two consecutive championships.

Such a script is also sufficient for gimmicks. The first assistant coach stepped on the head coach's team to reach the top. This is a "heritage".

"This will be the toughest round of the playoffs. I know Tang's coaching ability, and the Nets beat the Cavaliers again. It will be difficult to play with them." Cole was asked about the Nets in an interview. Say it like this.

"Yes, the Nets defeated the Warriors twice in the regular season. It is the only team that swept the Warriors. Will the Warriors have any psychological problems?"

"No, the playoffs and regular season are different levels of games. Like I said earlier, the game will be difficult, but my players are ready and they can handle all situations." Cole originally also I wanted to be humble, but his smiling expression and the words that followed said he still betrayed him.

Unlike Cole, Tang Tian did not allow the Nets' training to be open to the outside world. Even before the start of the finals, he was not allowed to be interviewed by the players and asked the players to devote all their energy to the training.

In previous lives, the Cavaliers reversed the Warriors to win the championship in the 1-3 finals. But anyone who has seen the game knows that it has a lot to do with Bogut's injury. It is not an exaggeration to say that even the Cavaliers, Winning the championship also has a lot of luck.

Now, the Nets face the Warriors, which is more difficult than playing the Cavaliers.

There is no certainty to win, but what Tang Tian wants the team members to do is to go all out.

Regardless of the results, but no regrets.

The low-key and closed of the Nets has also caused a lot of heated discussion in the media. Many people regard this as a manifestation of weakness. It is like when two lions meet on the grassland, the weaker side will detour by interest.

The closed training of the Nets before the game is similar to the detour.

US time June 2 ~ www.readwn.com ~ 3 days after the end of the regional finals, the finals officially opened in Auckland.

The golden arena of the Oracle Arena. The fans are wearing t-shirts with the same color as the trophy. The entire arena is covered by a lot of gold.

The Warriors have hardly lost at home this season. The enthusiasm of the Bay Area fans has made the Warriors have the help and display their bravery at home.

The Nets will be the Warriors' last opponent this season.

The Nets' starting line-up was first introduced. Tang Tian returned to the team's regular rotation, Deron and Gordon on the perimeter, Butler and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic on the center.

Followed by the debut of the Warriors welcomed the loud cheers on the scene.

The cheers also represented their love for this team.

Bogut was first introduced.

Followed by Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and Thompson.

Curry made the finale.

Cole also sent the team's regular lineup.

In the first game of the series, both sides are still in the tentative stage, and they have not done anything in the lineup.

At the end of the opening ceremony, Tang Tian and Cole shook hands in front of the technical platform. When they shook hands, they looked at each other and smiled.

Although Cole is Tang Tian's first assistant coach, since Anji Zhi was recruited for the draft in 2010, the relationship between the two has been very ordinary, and now they are completely opponents.

"Be patient and keep your pace. You must not speed up and push your opponent into battle."

"Playing the usual way, the only thing that needs to be changed is the defensive strength. Don't give them a chance to score. Believe in ourselves. We are stronger."

Before the game started, Tang Tian and Cole also finished the last explanation with the team members.

The members of the two teams shouted their hands, touched their shoes, rubbed their punches, Yi Jianlian and Bogut came to the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball.
