Chapter 510 Green: I hope to hold the award ceremony at home(1/2)
Green's suspension triggered another round of heated discussion on social media.
If JR's suspension has weakened the Nets in a different direction, then Green's suspension has significantly weakened the Warriors.
Green is even more important to the Warriors than Thompson, second only to Curry.
This is not about personal ability, but the Warriors' system.
If Curry is the gearbox for the Warriors, then Green is the engine.
Therefore, after Green was suspended, the Warriors officially filed a complaint with the league, and Warriors fans also expressed strong protest.
Some fans went all out and turned on the diss mode directly.
"Tatum just wants the Texas Twins to win the championship, so why not just ban Curry?!"
"Lin stepped over Green, and then Green received a technical foul? This is really shameless!"
"Now I finally know why Green didn't fight back when Johnson hit him. If he fought back, he might not even have to play in the finals!"
"Stop talking about this, Curry didn't whistle at all. Lin hit Curry with his back and knocked over Curry. It was Curry's foul. We have been treated differently!"
…
Oracle Arena.
The Warriors are training to prepare for the game.
Although Green was suspended, he still trained with the Warriors players.
And he seems more engaged than in the past.
It was not just excitement, but also anger.
One thing, from the perspective of different parties, the things seen are completely different.
In Green's view, he was not punished for kicking Adams in the crotch in the first round. However, he only grabbed Lin Ying's jersey and was given an additional technical foul.
Just like what a Warriors fan said, he feels that this is the league's preference for Lin Ying and the Nets, and it is also unfair to the Warriors.
They are not only fighting against the Nets, but also against the league.
His emotion was also transmitted to the Warriors players, and the confrontations between the players on the court were full of competition.
After a training session, everyone is sweating profusely.
After the training, Curry and Green sat and chatted.
Usually after training, Green sticks to Curry, but this time it was Curry who took the initiative to comfort Green.
"Don't be sad, I know it will be hard if I can't beat you in the next game."
Green often stands up for him, and he must stand by Green at this moment.
"I just don't like this way, I'd rather they beat me head-on like they did in the last game."
Green was indignant.
"We will win the game, for you."
Curry said.
He actually doesn't like Green's little moves, but he knows that Green also wants the team to win.
"I believe you, no one can stop Steph Curry."
When Green heard this, his mood improved and he returned to his usual appearance.
…
After two days of rest, G resumed playing at Oracle Arena.
Green's absence has made the outside world extremely disappointed with the Warriors' performance in G.
Even on the Nets side, many players feel that there will be no pressure on G.
I even think that at this time we should consider whether it is possible to end the finals at home and then win the cup at home.
But once the game actually started, both the process and the results were unexpected.
With Green out, Kerr used Iguodala.
This is basically equivalent to announcing that the Warriors have abandoned the "death five small" style of play and instead used a "one large and four small" lineup.
It was this forced adjustment that produced unexpected effects.
Pachulia had the opportunity to show off his high post support ability, but the Warriors moved the ball more frequently, and the scene of Green's villain at the top of the arc, waiting to run with two guns to catch the ball, disappeared.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Warriors burst out with a strong scoring explosion in the face of adversity.
They scored 4 three-pointers in the entire game, setting a new record in NBA playoff history.
Among them, Curry made 11 shots by himself, which also set a new NBA playoff record!
He scored 47 points in the game, setting a new record for his highest score in a single game in the finals and playoffs!
Moreover, Cole's tactical thinking on the defensive end of this game was also very clear, and he consciously let Ariza's outside shot go.
Ariza also cooperated very well and made another 8-for-10 game. This was a continuation of the touch from the previous game.
Of course, another important point is that JR is suspended.
The Warriors were full of firepower, but Karl couldn't let the Gemini star lead the team on the bench, and the bench lacked the points to explode.
West's words were also thoroughly studied by Cole and falsified by Speights, who had a similar style.
And don't expect Joseph to have JR's ability to score points. He plays very steadily. You can understand him as a player with a high lower limit but a low upper limit.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nets 11-110 at home and pulled one back.
When the game ended, Oracle Arena was in a state of excitement.
Green rushed onto the court and hugged Curry, squealing with excitement.
Curry kept his word and won the game for him!
Curry also looked happy.
After he separated from Green, he immediately made a gesture of praying to God.
Curry is a Christian and very humble and low-key.
This was also evident in the post-match press conference.
"I think you are more shocking than Allen Iverson in 2001."
In the finals, he scored 11 three-pointers and scored 47 points in a single game, defeating the Texas Twins in the absence of Green.
What the reporter said is not an exaggeration at all.
"God bless me, I don't think I can replicate this performance myself."
Curry said a little embarrassed.
Some games cannot be copied, especially the kind of data that relies on a large number of three-pointers. It depends on ability and luck.
From the perspective of his faith, this is indeed God’s blessing.
Curry is humble and low-key, but Green is different.
According to the format of the finals, after Game G, the two teams will move to Brooklyn for the next two games.
The Warriors arrived in Brooklyn the day before the game.
When the Warriors held public training, a lot of reporters came.
They also soon discovered the high-spirited Green.
Green is only automatically suspended for one game and can return in the next game.
After the training, Green also smiled and was interviewed by reporters.
"Do you have confidence in G?"
"Of course, I have 10% confidence that we got back our form in the last game and I can play in the next game!"
If basketball is a simple math problem, Green's play was absolutely correct.
The Warriors without Green can beat the Nets, and the Warriors with Green will naturally win more easily!
As for the question of G1 losing, Green has already answered it in advance because they haven't entered the state yet.
"What are your expectations for the entire finals?"
Seeing Green's confidence, the reporter asked another question.
"I hope the awards ceremony can be held at home."
Green's determined expression even surprised the reporters.
Because the connotation of this sentence is that the Warriors will defeat the Nets 4-1 and then win the cup at home!
This is not self-confidence, but a bit inflated!
Green's big words to the media were quickly reported by the media, instantly arousing a wave of heated discussion from the outside world.
