Chapter 741: Two Crowns in Three Years (4/4!) )

The Nets eliminated the Cavaliers for the second year in a row and met the Warriors in the Finals for the second year in a row.

It's also the pinnacle of team basketball and superstar basketball.

The first match of the Grand Final was played at the Oracle Center in Auckland.

The Nets clearly prepared before the game, limiting Durant's catches and splashes, and they did a good job in the first half, trailing the Warriors by just five points at 52-57 at halftime.

Even in the third quarter, the Nets relied on tenacious hard work, and they still fought on a par with the Warriors, and they only trailed by 9 points at the end of the third quarter.

But it's not just the Big Four that makes this Warriors team perverted in the playoffs.

It can even be said that because of the Nets' high-intensity defense, the firepower of the Warriors' Big Four can also be suppressed, after all, no matter how many people there are, there is only one ball.

The real perversion of the Warriors is that because there are four giants, they can let the duo lead the team on the bench.

For example, at this time, Green and Durant lead the team, plus two or three engineer substitutes, the strength is stronger than the Nets' luxury bench group, and it is much stronger.

Durant took a big package in the bench transition section, found a touch that was unstoppable, and the point difference quickly went to 20 points.

The Nets fought back for three quarters and eventually lost 100-121 on the road.

The Warriors' Big Four, the top three MVP lineups, is really a bit of a trick.

The second game was the same as the first, the Nets did a better job in the details, and even they played at a super level on the offensive end, shooting more than 50% overall, but Durant and Curry both scored 35+, which still allowed the Warriors to close the game 125-118.

After falling behind 2-0, the Nets returned to their home court to adjust and play an ultra-high-pressure defense inspired by the home fans, and they narrowly beat the Warriors 113-110 in their home opener to pull one back, with Curry and Durant playing erratically, neither of whom scored more than 25.

However, there will obviously not be too many such games, and the Warriors adjusted their state in the following games, scored consecutive high scores, and still eliminated the Nets with a score of 4-2, lifting the championship trophy for the second time in three years.

This time, team basketball ended up losing to the giants.

Durant picked up the FMVP trophy with an average of 30.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

He chose to take the most difficult path, which is now successful in the first year.

And it seems to prove that he was right to join the Warriors in the first place, beating the defending champion to win the championship, and his value was also revealed.

The Warriors are celebrating their championship, and it is Curry who is a little lonely, who was unexpectedly given to Iguodala by FMVP two years ago, lost to the Nets last year, and was taken by Durant this year.

But that's the choice, and he foresaw that when he recruited Durant.

The Warriors won their second championship in three years, but this time the reaction was a little different from what it was two years ago.

At that time, the Warriors played an incredible season under Kerr's leadership, and finally won the championship, which became a good story for fans.

At that time, their core was Curry, Thompson and Green, all superstars selected and cultivated by themselves.

But this year, Iguodala and Durant were both recruited from beating opponents, especially Durant, who joined the team that beat him with 73 wins as a top-three superstar in the league, and it felt like playing Rippy.

So this time to win the championship, in addition to the Warriors fans cheering, more people are complaining and disdainful.

2 supergiants, 3 all-stars, all in the year of fighting, this is really my grandmother's team can win the championship.

And what's worse is that this core lineup will remain in place for many years.

Durant's choice arguably throws the league out of balance and a lot of uncertainty.

After the finals, Tang Tian also returned to Brooklyn with the Nets players.

The Nets' Finals performance could not have asked them too much, and even a 2-4 score was better than the Cavaliers in their previous game.

But I still haven't played the Warriors.

It's not a matter of technique or tactics or performance, it's really a gap in overall strength.

To really shake up the Warriors, the Nets will have to make a change this coming summer.

And there is also an opportunity.

DeLong's big contract expires this summer.

With his performance in the past two years, a big contract will definitely not be able to run away, and even the 33-year-old just meets the 38-year-old rule and can sign a five-year contract with the Nets at most.

But the Nets aren't going to make this a Plan A.

There are also a lot of big fish this summer, although Curry and Durant will stay on the team when their contracts expire, but in addition, Paul, who can jump out of the contract, Griffin, Millsap and Hayward, who are out of contract, are all options that can make the Nets stronger.

This summer, Tang Tian will be very busy.

The Warriors' championship parade caused quite a stir in Oakland.

It's interesting that Cole said something similar to what Tang Tian had said before in his final speech: "This is just the beginning, we will start a dynasty that has never been seen before." ”

Losing to the Nets last year and ending the Warriors' three-game winning streak, Kerr has some nostalgia in his heart, but the past has passed, he can't change it, what he can do now is to build a dynasty in the future, and sit on a young core, a dynasty that surpasses Tang Tian.

After all, although Tang Tian is 7 in a row, in three different teams, he can do it in one team.

The finals are over, and the draft will begin immediately.

Tang Tian will make big moves in the free market, but he is not willing to be lonely in this year's draft.

The 2017 draft was a notoriously big year for the draft, and the Nets had the most draft picks in recent years.

Will Barton was traded for the Nuggets' 2017 first-round pick.

Jonathan Simmons was traded for the Spurs' 2017 first-round pick.

The Nets were their own 2017 first-round pick. (The Celtics have the right to swap, but the Nets are the 28th pick in the first round and can't be swapped.) )

The Bucks' 2017 second-round pick was originally acquired by Kidd in the first place.

Last year's draft was held with the No. 18 pick for the No. 25 pick, with 76 picks attached.

Tyler Johnson was traded for a second-round pick from the Heat in last year's draft.

The Nets' own second-round pick.

To the fullest, the Nets have a total of 3 first-rounders and 4 second-rounders in this year's draft!

Compared with the dilemma that Tang Tian has not had draft picks for several years when he first came to the Nets, not to mention the improvement in strength, even the draft picks have undergone qualitative changes.
