690 shot directly! Witness the great happening!
On the sidelines, Zhou Si was very comfortable, receiving a massage from the trainer to restore his strength while watching the Warriors helpless.
The Nets' lineup on the court at this time is naturally not perfect.
However, it is indeed the most effective.
They are not chasing points, nor are they afraid of losing points. They just grab rebounds, defend and delay time.
The Warriors tried their best, but couldn't pick up the rhythm.
With this relaxed mentality, the Nets' rotation not only completed the task, but also scored a lot of points.
When Zhou Si came back with his Royal shooters more than four minutes after the second quarter, the score on the court reached 45-30.
Zhou Si only lost 2 points at the end of the game, which is completely acceptable!
Then, Zhou Si and his friends continued to beat the Warriors to the ground. At the end of the half, the score reached 63 to 42!
At halftime, the Nets had opened up a 21-point lead!
"I said, Zhou will definitely be able to find a way to win!"
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley grinned widely.
He once joked that the Warriors were on the women's jump shooting team, but he has always been on the Nets' side.
“Once the Nets open from the outside, the Warriors can’t defend them at all!
Defend the week or defend three-pointers?
The Warriors can only choose one of these two glasses of poisonous wine to drink."
Kenny Smith nodded in agreement.
"The Warriors had hoped to take advantage of Howard's absence to successfully rush to the championship, but the Nets' change of formation made everything difficult to predict."
Kumi O'Neill sighed and said.
Indeed, if the Nets cannot beat the Nets without Howard, then the Warriors will have no hope when Howard returns.
Even if the big score is 2-0 now, it is of no use!
In the second half, change sides and fight again.
The Warriors have tried various methods including five small players, three guard lineups, and big lineups.
but……
Useless!
It's all useless!
They were all beaten by the Nets!
After three quarters, the Nets led by 28 points.
Deathly silence at Oracle Center!
After the painful timeout, another half of the fourth quarter was played, and the score difference widened to 34 points. Both sides had a tacit understanding to call it quits.
In the end, the Nets beat the Warriors 126-94 with 32 points in the away game and tied the score to 1-2.
For the Warriors, three people scored in double figures.
Durant scored 28 points and 8 rebounds, Curry had 19 points and 3 assists, Love had 11 points and 7 rebounds, Klay had 9 points and 2 rebounds, Green had 6 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Livingston had 5 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!
For the Nets, all starters scored in double figures!
Bojan had 23 points and 4 rebounds, Kuzma had 15 points and 4 rebounds, Carter had 12 points and 4 rebounds, Iguodala had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, and Norris Cole had 6 points!
Zhou Si made 17 of 26 shots and scored 46 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. He became the biggest contributor to this crucial game.
The Nets' starting five scored a total of 107 points, beating the Warriors with fierce firepower.
After the game, the Nets official tweet was updated as soon as possible:
"Thirteen wins, three more wins to go.
come together!"
In the away locker room, a group of people from the Nets celebrated excitedly, especially Howard, who was wearing a suit and ties, grinning with big white teeth and dancing excitedly.
Although the coaching staff said before the game that they were sure to win this game;
Although the tactics look beautiful during training;
However, no one knows what the actual game will be like without testing!
If they lose this game, even if Howard comes back, their chances of making a comeback in the finals will be very slim, so now this feeling of surviving the disaster makes them feel very, very happy!
In addition, Howard has won so much before he comes back. How can he beat the Warriors when he comes back?!
The victory in this game has immeasurably improved the morale of the Nets, but it is far more than just winning a game!
Their confidence is being rebuilt!
On the other side, although the Warriors were reflecting on it, they were not too affected by this defeat. Even though they lost this game, they were still leading 2-1!
Moreover, they have home field advantage!
In the next game, the Nets' perimeter can no longer be so accurate!
By the way, the Nets caught them by surprise in this game, and their coaching staff will definitely respond in the next game.
For the Warriors, Curry, Durant, Green and Cole attended the post-game press conference.
Curry said with some frustration in an interview with the media:
"This is the finals, we cannot be complacent just because we are ahead, in fact we are in a precarious situation.
If we want to win the championship, we have to play better and we will get better."
Durant was obviously not happy after losing, and his answer to the interview was concise and to the point:
"They play with a sense of urgency and we don't!"
Cole said in an interview: "Obviously, we were not prepared for this game.
The Nets beat us head-on right from the start.
We played too softly in the opening game and they completely controlled the rhythm.
Their formation changes were part of it, but the bigger reason was that we didn't play well and were kicked hard by our opponents.
When we returned home, I thought our team would play better, but they didn't, so I didn't prepare them enough.
We're going to get a lot of criticism, but we deserve it."
Big-mouthed Green, on the other hand, sprayed himself and his teammates wildly.
The angry Green didn't even spare himself and his teammates!
"They were playing it like it was the last game of the season and we were on vacation and everything seemed fine.
We played like shit and this is not just one person’s problem, it’s all of ours!”
For the Nets, Bojan, Iguodala and Kuzma, who performed well in this game, attended the press conference together.
Iguodala said: "Tonight we finally got back to our rhythm...
This is a team win.
Zhou led us and played very aggressively!
He completely took over the game!
Now, we know how to help Zhou."
Boyang said:
"I just took some passes and hit some shots. He is a real leader."
Kuzma praised Zhou Si effortlessly.
“I have already guessed what the game will be like tonight!
I knew it when Zhou said we were going to win this game:
We will see great things happen!”
…
"I have always had confidence in the Nets, come on, Devil!"
"Wait until Howard comes back and take them away immediately!"
"Bo Yang, Brother Yi and Pants stood up at the critical moment!
The Nets need everyone's efforts!"
"The next one will be even more exciting!"
"The Nets were really strong from the outside in this game. They showed momentum and psychology in the first quarter!"
"Yes, the small and big lineup in the second quarter is also very creative!"
"Haha, the rebounding advantage of that lineup is really obvious!
Moreover, the Nets took the Warriors by surprise today, so it is reasonable to win!
The Warriors will definitely respond in the next game, and the game will be more interesting!"
“The Warriors were completely defeated in this game, who loses at home?
This game is really interesting!”
Chapter completed!
