Six hundred and sixty-sixth create history, and finally become a dynasty!(1/2)
G3, Auckland, attracts much attention.
The disastrous defeats in the first two games have made tonight the Warriors' last chance.
If they can't win back a victory at home, then they may really be able to escape the fate of being swept as most people outside think.
The question is, how can they beat the Nets?
Home court advantage is reflected in most basketball games, and the NBA also has many devilish home courts.
But this advantage still seems to be a drop in the bucket in the face of the strength gap between the two teams.
However, the Warriors are working hard.
Before the start of G3, when the Nets players entered the court to warm up, they suddenly discovered something very unexpected.
The Nets took frequent shots during the warm-up. At first, everyone thought they just started shooting and haven't warmed up yet.
Until Durant and Lin Ying arrived at the scene, there was also a continuous fight.
This is incredible.
Because the training intensity of the Texas Twins is very high, it means their muscle memory is very precise.
So the only possibility is...
"There's something wrong with the basket."
Lin Ying directly told Lu the situation.
Lu quickly called the staff to take measurements.
The measurements showed that the basket was 2 inches taller than normal, about 5.08 centimeters.
This height is not too high. If it were a wild golf course, no one would notice it.
But it is obvious that for NBA-level players, especially super giant players, an extra centimeter will have a huge impact.
The NBA will conduct court inspections before games. It is obvious that this was an "operational error" by the staff.
Arena staff rushed over to repair the problem immediately, but the Nets' warm-up was also interrupted.
Because this adjustment takes a lot of time.
In addition to warming up without the ball, the Nets players could only watch.
Lin Ying was sitting on the sidelines at this time and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
Did the staff of the finals make such a low-level mistake?
This is obviously the same as the Celtics' previous territory, air conditioning, which is an outside move.
He wouldn't be surprised if this happened during a game against the Celtics.
But now the Warriors do this at home.
It seems that they put too much pressure on the Warriors.
Don't tell me, the impact of this off-board move is still huge.
Although this 20-minute warm-up will not completely determine the player's condition, it will certainly have an impact.
After all, no matter how much you train and your body is not active, it is easy to fall into a shooting struggle in the opening game.
And, just like those at Celtic's home court, there's really nothing you can do about this kind of off-court move.
No, not necessarily.
Lin Ying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the staff's unhurried appearance.
He stood up directly from the bench and called all the players together.
Then, he swaggered and led all the Nets players towards the half court where the Warriors were warming up.
This scene surprised most people present.
Especially the Warriors players, all looked at the Nets players nervously.
Could this be causing trouble?
Cole was originally discussing tactics with the coaching staff. When he saw this scene, he threw the tactical board away and walked up to the leader Lin Ying.
His coaching career started with the Nets, and he is considered half a Netsman.
If there is any problem, he is the most suitable person to make adjustments.
Even so, he was still a little nervous.
After all, the two sides are now rivals, and Lin Ying's status in the alliance is far from what it was before.
If you're polite, call Cole coach. If you're not polite, you can call him coach.
"Steve."
But what Cole didn't expect was that when Lin Ying saw him going up, he was smiling and spreading his arms, just like when he was still with the Nets.
Cole was a little flattered, and hugged Lin Ying with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but stand on his tiptoes.
After saying hello, Lin Ying quickly started chatting with Cole and expressed his intention to come.
He brought people to the Warriors to warm up together!
"Look, there's something wrong with the ball frame and we can't warm up, but there are so many spectators at the scene, so we can't go to the training hall, right?"
Lin Ying said matter-of-factly.
Cole was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know about these off-the-clock moves in the arena, but if the Nets and the Warriors trained together, the scene would be unprecedented.
Before this, he had only seen scenes such as Duncan sneaking into his opponent to warm up with him, and that was just because Shi Fo was a little naughty.
"You don't mind, do you? After all, this arena doesn't know why it's not good to have only one basket."
Before Cole could speak, Lin Ying said with a smile.
Now, the taste has changed a bit.
But Lin Ying also put his attitude here.
Cole agreed to save face.
If he doesn't agree, then he will force it.
He wasn't going to pretend he didn't see this off-board move.
"Of course I don't mind."
Cole said with a smile.
He can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Therefore, unprecedentedly, the finals in NBA history should be the first time in the game that the two teams mixed warm-ups.
This unique scene made the fans at the scene both incredible and amused.
But at this time, the expressions of the big guys who arranged this show in the VIP box looked very strange.
They probably never imagined that the Nets would use such a method to defeat the opponent.
This move is not their first, but the Nets' method of coping is indeed amazing.
Because in this way, not only the Nets successfully warmed up, but the Warriors' warm-up effect was also reduced.
After all, when the two teams are together, there is no way to coordinate tactics and they can only simply shoot the ball like on a wild court.
Lu was discussing tactics with Nash. He was too focused and didn't notice. When he looked up and saw that his players were already running to seize the opponent's territory, his mind turned around and he pointed directly at his players in the half court.
Thumbs up.
One word, absolutely!
The warm-up is almost complete, and the height of the Nets' basket has been adjusted.
Lin Ying and the others came back and tried the basket, but it was no problem, and the scene also entered the opening ceremony.
The rosters of the two teams were released, and except for the mention of Iguodala on the Warriors' side, there were no changes in other positions.
This is about the lineup and the game. After the game started, the Warriors played a very aggressive defense, or it can be called dirty.
Moreover, the referees were also very lax, choosing not to see some hitters, pushers, or even the Warriors' most common moving pick-and-roll.
Scoring on the court became extremely difficult, and it was difficult for both teams to score consistently.
Obviously, although many people in the outside world expect the Nets to achieve unprecedented achievements, the league does not hope so.
They don't want the Nets to be so powerful that people lose the courage to resist.
In that case, not only will the fans be deprived of the uncertainty of watching the game, but the owners of other teams will also lose interest in investing.
This is also the reason why there were some court control situations during the Stern period.
Tatum is the one who inherited Stern's style, and this is inevitable.
Everyone on the court was on their backs, and it was full of confrontation, but the effect was also very obvious. The Warriors and the Nets were in a stalemate in the first quarter.
