v2 Chapter 842 - The change that finally worked (one / three!)
“Will we find a way to get Cousins to play?”
“Yes, we will.”
“sure?”
“determine.”
After finishing the first two games, the finals moved to Oakland to continue playing.
The Warriors are building a new stadium in San Francisco. They are expected to move to San Francisco in five years, within the real Bay Area. In this case, they need to bring more glory to the team. The most important thing is Championship trophy.
After returning to the Bay Area, Cole gave an affirmative answer in front of the media again.
Because of the lesson, fans in the Bay Area do not know how credible Cole said this time.
But they can only choose to believe.
Tang Tian took the Nets to Auckland.
This is probably the last time he came to the city as the head coach. In the retirement season, after taking a 2-0 lead, he naturally hopes that the team can end the series early.
He did not worry about Cole’s remarks and the adjustment of the Warriors.
In the past, because of the slow rhythm and many tactical systems, Princeton and the triangle all made people talk, but after entering the small ball era, because the fast and complicated tactics ran hard, it was basically simplified to pick-and-roll and sudden points, or Based on these two tactics.
The Nets and Warriors’ approach is the result.
In other words, before Cousins loses weight and increases in speed, no matter how the Warriors adjust, it is impossible to solve his defensive problems.
The third game of the Finals was about to take place. Oakland fans carried out a large number of calls on social media before the game. In cooperation with the official, basketball fans in the Bay Area are completely mobilized.
Under the disadvantage of 0-2, they naturally hope that the home team will be able to counterattack.
If the five stars are eliminated early, it is not only the team management, but they should also doubt their lives.
On the night of the game, there were a lot of people in Oracle Arena, and fans held various brands supporting the home team.
This must be a stormy night.
Tang Tian did enough mobilization before the game.
The Warriors will definitely fight very hard, maybe there will be some home whistle, and even Cole ’s adjustment will work like the last game, but he has been instilling in the players: our strength No matter what the process is, it will eventually win the game.
For the Nets, after playing the first two games, mentality is more important than anything.
The opening ceremony before the game was so loud that ordinary people would really feel like sinking stones if they played in such a place, but fortunately these players of the Nets have already been masters in battle.
The starters have not changed on both sides, the Nets are one big and four small, and the Warriors Cousins is still playing as a starter.
Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams appeared one after another. Tang Tian also turned to look at the Warriors bench.
Although the Warriors can’t do much, he is still curious about Cole’s so-called adjustment.
Cole’s expression was more solemn, and his white hair seemed to be much more than before.
Sitting behind the five-star warrior is still 0 to 2 behind, the pressure on his body is mountainous.
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Cousins jumped to win Jokic again, and continued to get the first chance for the Warriors.
Curry held the ball across the center line.
Cousins did not fall to the post, nor did he pull it out for Curry to pick and roll, but directly fell to the top of the circle.
Curry gave the ball directly to him after holding it to the frontcourt.
This makes him a direct starting point for tactics.
Tang Tian froze when he saw this, then he couldn’t help but smile.
Cole moved the Nets tactics, allowing Cousins to do the same job as Jokic.
This adjustment is really good.
The three superstars of the Warriors can play without a ball, coupled with Green’s pick-and-roll and secondary transmission, it can really maximize the function of each player.
Green and Thompson screened Curry and Durant. After the screen, they moved one by one to the 45-degree angle.
Cousins threw a pass to Durant, Durant hit a jumper.
This is the way the Warriors play offense, and most importantly Cousins is also in this system.
The Nets pushed to the frontcourt, Jokic held the ball at the top of the circle, George and Owen backed off with a pick-and-roll, and Mitchell and Butler fell again to the bottom angle and 45 degrees.
Almost mirror-like offense, George also made a jumper after receiving the ball.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and continued to hand Cousins.
This time it was Curry, who threw out the outside to catch the ball and threw an iconic three-pointer against Mitchell.
“boom!”
Unfortunately, the goal was not scored.
In the next round of rebounds, Butler stuck Green and accepted the defensive rebound.
The Nets counterattacked and the Warriors quickly retreated.
Butler glanced at the ball and gave it to Owen. When Owen pushed back to the frontcourt, the Warriors defense was completely down.
Because Cousins pulled Jokic out of the three-point line, the competition for rebounds turned into a two-team frontline. Durant and Green have strong rebounding ability, but Butler and George will both card to protect the rebound , The speed of one-handed fast attack naturally slows down.
And the biggest change is Cousins, because at the beginning of the three-point line, he can retreat to his own half at the fastest speed, which changed his disadvantage of failing to withdraw.
The Nets didn’t score in the offense and spared no effort to return to the defensive end. The Warriors didn’t have an offensive opportunity. Cousins saw the offense time after holding the ball for a while, and broke through Jokic directly from the three-point line.
Jokic retreated into the penalty area while defending, and was finally fouled by Cousins.
Cheers were on the scene, and the excited expression of the fans jumped on the paper.
Cole’s adjustment is really amazing.
This not only left Cousins on the court successfully, but also let him play the biggest function.
The Nets’ adjustment to the Warriors is obviously not a good way to deal with it ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Can’t increase the speed, and the defense is difficult.
If it weren’t for Mitchell’s play off the bench, the Nets might crash in the first half.
In the end, the Warriors played like a rainbow at home, leading the Nets by 15 points 72 to 57 at halftime.
At the end of the halftime, fans at the scene sent warm cheers to the home team.
Cole got up from the bench, his long face finally showing a long-lost smile, and he waved to the audience in the front with a smile.
Just as Tang Tian speeded up to abolish Cousins’s influence on the series, it was the entire series that he adjusted to effect.
As long as Cousins can play, the Warriors are not likely to turn around. They may even be like a Nets last year, a 0-2 trailing and a 4-0 sweep.
