The Nets are aiming to defend their title, the Warriors are aiming for revenge, and both teams are watching their pre-game training behind closed doors, and it can be seen that both sides are cautious.

While the outside world is bullish on the Warriors, last year's experience made it difficult for the Warriors to take it lightly.

It was like the calm before the storm, with both players declining media interviews, and there was less information about both teams than ever in the past two days.

Two days later, the Grand Final finally kicked off in Brooklyn.

Barclays Center, Oracle Arena, and major TV broadcast platforms all saw record viewers.

How quiet it is when you wait, how exaggerated it is when it comes.

Five-star warriors, Tang Tian's last trip to the finals......

This is probably the most high-profile Finals in NBA history.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the opening ceremony of the Barclays Center was monstrous.

The starters of both sides appeared one after another.

The Warriors are all five-star, Curry plus Thompson on the outside, Durant plus Green on the outside, and Cousins on the center.

The Nets are also on the regular lineup, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Anthony on the front, and Jokic at center.

Despite the cheers from the sky, Cousins jumped over Jokic to give the visitors the chance to attack first.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt to kick off the Finals.

The Warriors started with their usual off-ball running tactics, with Cousins and Green hanging two pick-and-rolls for Thompson and Durant, both of whom went beyond the three-point line.

The Nets changed defenses infinitely, and Jokic and Anthony both switched defenses as soon as possible.

Curry passed the ball to Durant, who singled Anthony and pulled back with a sudden step.

"Huh!"

Anthony reached out to interfere, but Durant stepped back and put the ball in the basket.

In one-on-one defense, no one can really interfere with him except George and James.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, Jokic held the ball outside the three-point line, and Irving borrowed Anthony to block and pull a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The ball goes in, too.

The Nets also look pretty good.

Curry missed a three-pointer from Cousins in the frontcourt, and Green grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a rebound.

George misplaced to eat Green, and the breakthrough of the emergency stop dry pull also in.

Both teams started the game with great efficiency and the score continued to rise in alternations.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was tied at 38, and the two teams played a very ornamental offensive battle.

In the second quarter, there were one starter and four substitutes on both sides, with Butler on the Nets' side bringing Murray, Mitchell, Kuzma and Yi Jianlian, and Green on the Warriors' side bringing Livingston, Iguodala, Randolph and Looney.

Mitchell was unhurried in the face of Iguodala and assisted Butler and Yi Jianlian to score layups in succession, while Randolph suppressed Kuzma on the inside and scored consecutive strong attacks.

The game reached 8 minutes before halftime, and the score on the field was 46 draws, which was a crazy output, and the two sides were still on the same starting line, and no one could overpower anyone.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were quite high, and the outside world said before the game that the Warriors had a good chance of winning, but judging from the current performance of both sides, it is really not likely.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides successively switched back to the main force.

That's when the Warriors made adjustments offensively.

Instead of running without the ball, Thompson and Durant fell to the left corner and a 45-degree angle, Green fell to the right corner, Cousins sank to the low post, and Curry held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Four outside shooters, completely pulling out the sense of space on the court.

Curry then gave the ball to Cousins, who played Jokic one-on-one.

Jokic lost weight and gained muscle, and he was completely on the inside, but he was a little uncomfortable facing the full-tonnage Cousins.

After the hard chisel turn, Cousins pressed his body against his back and then turned to wipe the board and score.

This is the standard heavy center play.

The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, Jokic passed the ball to Butler, and Butler's back hit Thompson's back was interfered with.

The Warriors didn't play the fast break after receiving the defensive rebound, and slowly advanced to the frontcourt, and the same position.

Jokic didn't sit still, sinking his weight and pushing Cousins to the free-throw line.

Curry also chose to put the ball in, Cousins held the ball and glanced at the unwrapped behind him, and directly turned around and shot under the basket.

Jokic shoots the block.

Cousins dodged and drew a foul on Jokic.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Teacher Covenant, this is obviously suppressed.

Cousins hit both free throws, and he scored four straight points in that period.

Such a score boosted the morale of the Warriors, and the defense stopped the Nets by a shot.

When it came to the frontcourt, Curry also gave the ball to Cousins.

Tang Tian signaled on the sidelines at this time, and Anthony went directly to the box.

Cousins reacted quickly enough to turn and flick the ball to Green in the bottom corner, who caught the ball and shot at the frame.

"Huh!"

Green's three-pointer goes in!

The scene was in an uproar.

The Warriors have gone on a 7-0 run in less than two minutes!

That's how they beat the Rockets in the first place, with four shooters lying in ambush on the outside to open up space, allowing Cousins to chisel on the inside, and once you're in the trap, Cousins will send the ball to the shooter as soon as he can pass the ball, and then the Warriors' best three-point shot.

As long as the outside shooter has a good hand, this simple tactic is unsolvable.

George received a pass from Irving and hit a three-pointer to quench the Nets' thirst, but when Cousins came back, he saw that Anthony was not covered, turned to the basket and directly hit Jokic with a one-handed dunk to score.

The Nets are really out of temper.

George and Irving are both finding their grooves, but they don't have much to do with the Warriors on the defensive end.

At halftime, the Nets trailed the Warriors by as many as 12 points, 58-70.

58 points at half time is definitely not a low score, but the Warriors' 70 points are about the same as the opening point.

And that's not even the third quarter, where the Warriors do best.

"It's a scoundrel!" After watching the second half of the second quarter, Kenny Smith couldn't help but shout.

"This is the NBA finale." O'Neill also showed his talent for entertainment and brought out the classic arguments of fans.

"The only good thing is that the Warriors won't have that lineup next season." Smith said with a little reassurance.

"Hey, Kenny, you can't talk so much, if there is a pay cut, or the Warriors are willing to pay hundreds of millions in luxury tax, it won't be a season-long thing." Smith reminded.

Smith and O'Neill looked at each other and shook their heads speechlessly.

In that case, it's really the NBA finale.

Barkley's words may sound like a joke, but if the Warriors win a championship this season, it could happen.

Another eight-in-a-row championship after the ancient Celtics?

At the beginning, the Warriors were bent on breaking the regular-season win record, and with the same group of people, nothing was impossible.
