The first game of the 2017 NBA Finals set a record for the highest ratings of the NBA Finals in history.

The battle between the Pacers and the Warriors has set off a basketball craze around the world. Now even people who don't usually watch football are bombarded with all kinds of news and become pseudo-fans, just like those "football fans" who only watch a few football games in four years.

Adam. Xiao Hua is naturally very satisfied with this result, and the commercial value that Henson brings to the NBA is far beyond his imagination.

And the day after the game, people didn't stop talking about the game for a moment.

"The Warriors lost the playoffs for the first time, and the Pacers broke the undefeated body of the Golden State battleship!"

"Antetokounmpo – the next superstar."

"Pseudo-giants? Draymond. Green is useless on the field. ”

"Stephen. Curry: I'll find my groove in the next game. ”

News bombarded fans' phones as sports channels scrolled through footage of Antetokounmpo shaking Green to the game's game.

This time, Antetokounmpo and Green are popular on the Internet. Of course, Green would have preferred that he would not be so popular.

At yesterday's press conference, Henson punched Green in front of reporters. And as Henson said, Green didn't respond at all today.

After all, who made him lose so humiliating yesterday?

Before the game, he was slapped in the face, and the last lore ball was so embarrassed. Even a cheeky Green can't be ruthless when he behaves like a mess.

The reporters were all amazed by Henson's ability to "predict" accurately, saying that Green did not dare to respond, and Green really did not dare to respond.

Although there is no voice, now Draymond. Green was annoyed. There is fire and can't be released, this may be the most humiliating Finals Green has ever played.

Stephen. When Kerr just stepped into the training gym today, he noticed that Green was not in the right mood. The guy looked angry and depressed for the past two years, even against LeBron. James and Green have never been so depressed.

Cole shook his head, and had to say that Henson was indeed a master of psychological warfare. Not only does he know how to win, but he also knows how to destroy the confidence of his opponents.

And confidence is a very important thing in the playoffs. If Cole had anything to say, he believed that confidence was as important as tactics.

Thankfully, after much deliberation yesterday, Kerr has found a way for the opposing Pacers. As long as everything goes well, Green will definitely be able to regain his confidence in the game the day after tomorrow.

Don't think the Warriors can be beaten so easily, the godfather of basketball in Indianapolis.

On the stage of the NBA Finals, in addition to the most fierce confrontation between the players, there is often a series of mental battles between coaches and coaches.

The game between the coaches of the two sides is also very exciting, just like the duel between Henson and Popovich back then, which is often used as a textbook by many coaches to learn.

Suppression, counter-suppression, lore, anti-lore, defense and breakthrough defense...... Although the layman can't see it, the insider's fans can definitely feel the brainstorming of the coaches of the two teams blowing on the basketball court.

And the same is true for this year's Grand Finale, Steve. Kerr isn't the kind of coach who can only rely on superstars. His tactical set-up has always been an important part of the Warriors' success.

So in the second game of the Finals, the Pacers encountered huge obstacles.

"Antetokounmpo broke through, I wonder if he can succeed this time!?"

On the commentary stage, Mike. Brin's heart was in his throat. Today, Henson continued to stick to his one-star tactics. After all, he won the last game so much, there is no need to change.

But it's clear that Steve. It only took one game of trial and error for Kerr to find a way to deal with the star.

Antetokounmpo burst in with the ball today and didn't get the chance to get as easy as his role to get to the rim. As soon as he stepped into the box, Draymond. Green appeared "as promised". And once Antetokounmpo and Green get entangled, Durant will quickly shrink and complete the encirclement!

This time was the same, Antetokounmpo thought he had succeeded in breaking through, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the opponent's defensive trap.

Eventually, his layup was interfered with by Green and Durant combined. Again, Antetokounmpo's offense failed. That's right, again. This has happened more than once today.

"Still no, the Warriors fight back! This is their chance to widen the margin to double digits! ”

Durant grabbed the rebound himself and then handed the ball to Curry. Curry drove straight in, and a pull-up outside the three-point line seemed to be about to chase down the shot.

Curry's move deceived Paul and made Paul jump to block. But in fact, Curry didn't hold the ball in both hands at all, he did a Buddha feint!

Click on Paul, enter the penalty area, throw the board high, and the basketball goes into the net. After breaking through Paul, Curry's subsequent moves were done in one go.

At this point, Henson's Pacers officially trailed the Warriors by 10 points in the eighth minute of the third quarter!

Henson frowned, he didn't expect Cole to find a solution to the problem so quickly. This guy's on-the-spot scheduling may not be as cunning as Popovich's, but he is still very good at formulating grand strategies.

Today, Kerr asked the team to give up the frontcourt rebound and retreat at high speed, and when retreating, he prioritized setting up a card at the free throw line and under the basket to prevent Antetokounmpo from running.

Antetokounmpo doesn't care about him when he can't get the ball, and once he gets the ball, Green will fill in and block the top of the arc of the reasonable collision zone, and Durant quickly shrinks, front and back.

So today, the "Greek monster" was forced to start shooting threes. But the Warriors didn't care, they knew Antetokounmpo would hesitate before he made a three-point shot, and as long as he hesitated, the defense would be successful.

That's what makes the Warriors a huge advantage.

The guy who used to fight Jordan didn't disappoint Henson, he didn't let the series end boringly. But with 10 points down, Henson couldn't be happier.

In the rest of the game, Henson asked his players to focus on George, but after the game fell into a one-on-one defensive situation, the score could not be closed. The Pacers can score in one-on-one, and so can the Warriors.

Today, Curry, Durant and Thompson were all in good shape, and no one was left behind. With the Warriors' offensive firepower so fierce, Henson didn't have a way to attack efficiently. If you want to win the game, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream.

Eventually, when the 48-minute game time was over, the Pacers fans were stunned in the stands. Because, this is the first time the Pacers have lost at home in the playoffs so far.

At 128-119, the Pacers lost by 9 points at home, and the series total score was tied at 1-1! In the last game, the Pacers gave the Warriors their first loss of the playoffs. Today, the Warriors handed the Pacers their first home loss.

Cole smiled smugly, and I was a courtesy.

Kerr was just smiling on the sidelines, while the Warriors players were celebrating on the court. Especially Green, this guy has a long mouth and provokes the fans, which is extremely annoying.

But today, Green does have the capital of arrogance.

"Green did a very good job defending Antetokounmpo today, and he strictly followed Coach Kerr's defensive strategy, allowing the Greeks to shoot just 7 of 21 from the field today, which is clearly not the efficiency he should play. In just one game, Antetokounmpo was locked up by Coach Kerr's defensive strategy. I don't know how Coach Henson will respond in the next game. However, this is precisely the charm of the finals. ”

Antetokounmpo stood on the court with his hands on his hips and shaking his head. He knows he's let his teammates down, he's let the fans down. Most importantly, it let Henson down.

"Let's go Janis, it's over, it's time for us to go back to the locker room." Henson went up and patted Antetokounmpo on the back, but didn't say anything more. He knew that today it was not Antetokounmpo who lost, but himself.

In the brainstorming with Cole, he fell behind.

Fortunately, the 1-1 score was not the end of the world. They still have time in the Bay Area to get back what they lost.

When the Pacers' coaches and players left the court, Kerr was still on the court for an interview.

And today, Cole finally had the opportunity to say that sentence that had been held in his heart for a long time in front of reporters.

"Coach Henson, he's outdated."
