Chapter 840: Cole's Adjustment (2/3!) )

On one side of the technical table is Cousins, on the other side are Yi Jianlian and Mitchell, because there has been no dead ball on the court, Yi Jianlian and Cousins actually chatted there, talking and laughing.

This is also an interesting scene in the fierce competition.

Eventually, Irving's breakaway layup caused Thompson to draw a foul and the game went to dead ball, with both sides making substitution adjustments.

Irving hit both free throws, and after a wave of output from the Nets, the 12-point margin was only 2 points in the blink of an eye.

Barkley and O'Neal in the commentary bench have stopped talking, and the Nets have obviously swept away the decline in the first half and completely pulled the momentum back.

Curry made a new tactical gesture after holding the ball to the frontcourt.

Instead of falling to the low post, Cousins mentioned blocking Curry from beyond the three-point line.

After dismantling, Cousins went to Curry and passed the ball inside.

Cousins, as an all-around center, can do more than just play under the basket.

"Smack!"

However, the ball was directly broken by Butler.

The Nets are clearly defensive.

In fact, when the halftime was arranged, Tang Tian and the coaching staff had already imagined all the possible responses of the Warriors.

Butler broke the ball, the Nets pushed back and counterattacked, four to three in the frontcourt, and Irving assisted George to score a mid-range jumper.

80 flat!

The familiar Yongsan madness did not appear in the game, but the Nets smoothed out the 12-point difference after adjustment!

The cheers continued.

The Nets really have the strength to fight the Warriors.

Durant stepped up at a critical moment, and the front court singled George's emergency stop and back-to-back shot.

But looking back, George also scored a goal on the back of a single Green with his back.

After crossing James's mountain, George's spiritual level has been sublimated, and this performance is already completely supergiant-level.

Thompson went round for a three-pointer.

George also scored a three-pointer from the front court.

The two sides entered a tug-of-war again.

In the tug-of-war, Cousins has been running back and forth, and his contribution on the field is almost zero.

George's jump shot missed, the Warriors counterattacked, and after the first wave was basketed, Curry saw the follow-up Cousins and shook the pass.

Cousins took the ball and prepared to attack, but Yi Jianlian directly fouled him in advance.

Cousins, who was fouled, pushed Yi Jianlian violently, and the anger value was already written on his face.

George was the first to go up and confront Cousins, and Yi Jianlian, who reacted, also stepped forward.

Conflict is on the verge of breaking out.

Fortunately, the referee reacted quickly enough and directly separated the two sides.

Yi Jianlian and Cousins didn't stop talking, spraying at each other, in stark contrast to the previous communication at the technical station.

This also shows Cousins' mood change, after running so many switchbacks with the team, finally having a scoring opportunity and being fouled early, his temper can't help it.

The referee gave Cousins a technical foul after watching the replay.

Cousins was swearing on the sidelines, almost throwing off his headband in anger.

Kerr didn't dare to let him play again after seeing it, and the Nets immediately switched back to the regular lineup.

The Nets' starting lineup was very tacit at the beginning of the season, and Anthony also integrated into it after a season, and it was completely worthy of playing with the Warriors' five-small lineup.

Quite the opposite of the first half, this time it was the Warriors who were pulled away little by little.

In a cheer, the Nets finally reversed the Warriors by 12 points and defeated the Warriors 127-120 to win the opening game.

George set a new personal playoff single-game scoring record, scoring a game-high 42 points and 8 rebounds, Irving and Butler each scored 18 points, Yi Jianlian had 16 points and 11 boards, and Mitchell had 17 points and 6 assists.

The Warriors scored a team-high 35 points, Curry 25, Thompson 18, and Cousins had 14 points and seven boards in the first half, but did not play in the fourth quarter and contributed almost zero in the second half.

The result of the match was a big surprise, but the process of the game is more important than the outcome of a match.

The five-star Warriors' inside and outside play, which was originally a headache for the Nets, has now become a headache for the Warriors, and Kerr must find a way to keep Cousins on the court.

If Cousins can't play all the time, this four-star Warriors can't beat the Nets.

This was demonstrated in the opening game and in the second half of the opening game.

"It's just the first game and we'll find a way." Kerr, on the other hand, was more calm and appeared unhurried in his post-match press conference.

Kerr doesn't panic, Warriors fans don't panic, they believe the Warriors will find a way to deal with Game 2, and Kerr never lets them down.

Three days later, the second game of the finals resumed in Brooklyn, New York.

The Barclays Center is still crowded, and the attention of fans who did not attend the scene is also high.

Supporters of the Warriors expect the Warriors to make adjustments and show their strength in this game, while supporters of the Nets hope that the Nets will go one step further and take the lead in the scoreline.

Because Cousins played less in the last game, the Warriors' start in Game 2 also became interesting.

The opening ceremony was the first to be introduced by the Warriors.

And Kerr's answer is that Cousins is still the starter.

The Nets' starters have also made adjustments, neither Anthony and Jokic, nor Yi Jianlian and Mitchell, but Mitchell and Jokic.

After the last game, it is not only the Warriors who have summed up, but the Nets have also made some changes.

The game started quickly, and Cousins still got the Warriors the chance to attack first.

Curry blocked and Cousins in the frontcourt, and this time Cousins went out, and Curry broke inside and squeezed past Jokic for a layup to score.

George went on to score on Green in the front court, and he was in amazing shape after reaching the Finals.

Looking back, Durant looked for Cousins to block and dismantle, and it was also Cousins who went out to Durant and inside, and hit a dry pull with a quick stop.

After two rounds, Kerr's adjustment can basically be seen, which is to use Cousins' shooting ability on the outside to create mismatch opportunities.

Tang Tian called a timeout.

This timeout was called exceptionally early, and Barkley and O'Neal, who were commentators on the spot, were also confused.

Coming back from a timeout, Irving misplaced Cousins hit a jumper and scored.

Looking back, Durant asked Cousins to block and dismantle again, and the Nets decisively let Cousins wrap Durant, which meant to make Cousins shoot to death.

Durant's outside ball, Cousins received the ball and it was a big open space.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Cousins' three-pointer fell into the pocket.

Green's three-point range is key to his ability to become the Warriors' Death Five, averaging one of his three three-point attempts and shooting in the early 30 percent.

But in fact, Cousins is the big killer outside the three-point line, and in the past two seasons, he has averaged nearly 6 three-point shots per game, hitting more than 2 of them, and the shooting rate is 36%, which is quite a statistic for an insider.

Cole's tweak looks very effective.
