After three years, the team coached by Tang Tian finally reached the finals again.

However, unlike all the teams he has coached before, there is no real superstar on his team, and their opponent is the Warriors led by Curry, the first unanimous MVP in NBA history.

Before the finals began, fans and the media were completely divided in their views on the finals.

"Although the process has become a bit bumpy because of Curry's injury, this team has picked off the Thunder, the biggest enemy in the West, and the Finals opponent has changed from the Cavaliers to the Nets, and they are only four games away from the final championship!"

"Who on the Nets can guard Curry? Who can keep up with Thompson, or wait for Kerr to put on a five-hour death pitch and the Nets have a way to deal with it? They don't even have a superstar! Take the head and fight the Warriors? ”

"Seriously, if I were Xiao Hua, it would be better to adjust the penalty scale early and let the Cavaliers enter the Finals, although I don't think the Cavaliers can win the game in the end, but the Nets have no chance, and the stars are dim."

……

This is the fans who support the Warriors, in their opinion, the difference in strength between the Nets and the Warriors is too much, and the Warriors will beat the Nets to win two consecutive championships.

"The Nets have a competitive starting lineup, deep bench depth, a perfect team system, and of course they have Tang Tian, and their reversal of the Cavaliers is not entirely accidental, and the reversal of the Cavaliers has provided this team with a lot of experience, and they really have a chance to win the Finals."

"When people are still talking about how the strength of this team on paper is not enough, but ignoring the most basic state problem, the Mavericks led by Nowitzki in 11 years are much worse on paper than this, but they also finally reached the Finals, and a year ago, the Cavaliers led by James in 10 years won the championship with a single core, these are all history, history tells us that only looking at the strength on paper and ignoring the performance is to play hooligan, they really have the capital to fight with the Warriors."

"DeLong, Jimmy Butler, Eric Gordon, Yi Jianlian, Jokic, David West, Maddy, Oden, really take a closer look at the Nets, are they really as vulnerable as you say? Or maybe you're all selectively amnesia, and the Nets were the only team to sweep the Warriors in the regular season? ”

……

These are the opinions of fans and media who support and favor the Nets, who are relatively bullish on the Nets after watching their performance in the Eastern Conference finals.

The views on both sides are completely opposite, the former is the opinion of the majority, in their opinion, the Nets' win against the Cavaliers has a lot to do with the Cavaliers' own problems, and the Warriors were cornered by the Thunder more because of Curry's injury caused by the state problem, and now Curry has almost recovered.

Even like the starlight problem mentioned by some fans, they likened the Western Conference Finals to the final Finals, and the upcoming Finals are not so attractive.

But regardless of the attention of the outside world, the media and fans, if the Finals will kick off, the Nets will fly to Oakland to take on the defending champion Warriors at Oracle Arena.

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

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

And the interesting thing is that the current head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, is the No. 1 assistant coach under Tang Tian in the past.

If you think about it more interestingly, Kerr made his debut like Tang Tian, winning the championship trophy in his first season as a coach, and now he has the opportunity to build a dynasty in the early days of coaching like Tang Tian.

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

Such a script is also gimmicky enough, and the first assistant coach stepped on the head coach's team to reach the top, which is a kind of "inheritance".

"It's going to be the toughest round of the playoffs, and I know Don's coaching ability, and with the Nets beating the Cavaliers, it's going to be tough to play against them." Kerr said this when asked in an interview about his thoughts on the Nets.

"Yes, the Nets beat the Warriors in the regular season, 2 times, and were the only team to sweep the Warriors, will the Warriors have a psychological problem?"

"No, the playoffs and the regular season are different levels of competition, and like I said, it's going to be tough, but my guys are ready and they're able to handle everything." Cole wanted to be humble, but his smiling expression and what he said next betrayed him.

Unlike Kerr, Tang Tian did not let the Nets' training be open to the public, and even before the Finals began, he did not allow the players to be interviewed, requiring the players to put all their energy into training.

In the previous life, the Cavaliers reversed the Warriors and finally won the championship after falling behind 1-3 in the finals, but those who have watched the game know that it has a lot to do with Bogut's injury, and it is not an exaggeration to say that even the Cavaliers have a lot of luck to win the championship.

And now, the Nets are more difficult to play against the Warriors than against the Cavaliers.

There is no certainty of victory, but what Tang Tian wants the players to do is to go all out.

Regardless of the result, but please have no regrets.

The Nets' low-key and closed profile has also caused a heated discussion in the media, and many people regard this as a sign of weakness, like when two lions meet on the prairie, the weaker side will take a detour.

The Nets' closed practice before the game is similar to the nature of the detour.

On June 2, U.S. time, three days after the end of the division finals, the finals officially kicked off in Oakland.

The Oracle Arena is a golden patch, and the fans are wearing T-shirts in the same hue as the trophy color, and the entire arena is covered in gold.

The Warriors have barely lost at home this season, and the enthusiasm of the Bay Area fans has allowed the Warriors to play with great help at home.

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

The Nets' starters were the first to be introduced, and Tang Tian switched back to the team's regular rotation lineup, with Deron and Gordon on the outside, Butler and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic at center.

The Warriors, who followed suit, ushered in the earth-shattering cheers of the scene.

This cheer also represents their love for this team.

Bogut was introduced first.

He was followed by Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and Thompson.

Curry made his final appearance.

Kerr also fielded the team's regular lineup.

In the first game of the series, both sides were still in the tentative stage and did not do anything about the lineup.

At the end of the opening ceremony, Tang Tian and Cole shook hands in front of the technical table, and when the two shook hands, they looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Although Kerr is Tang Tian's first assistant coach, since he recruited Anji for draft picks in 2010, the relationship between the two has been very ordinary, and they are completely rivals at this time.

"Be patient, steady the rhythm, and never speed up and pull the opponent into positional warfare."

"Playing the way we normally play, the only thing that needs to change is the defensive intensity, don't give them a chance to score, believe in yourself, we are stronger."

Before the start of the game, Tang Tian and Cole also finished the final explanation with the players one after another.

The players of the two teams whirred their hands, touched their shoes, rubbed their fists, Yi Jianlian and Bogut came to the middle circle to prepare to jump the ball, and the finals were about to start.
