Chapter 325 The final G1 kicks off, and everyone is looking forward to it!
The much-anticipated 2010-2011 season, the NBA finals officially started!
At the press conference before the game, Zhou Yang and Curry were interviewed by the media.
The Splash Brothers sat in front, looked around, and realized that there were so many reporters today.
There are more than double the number of reporters than in the Western Conference Finals.
Nuo Da's interview hall could barely fit any more seats, and many reporters were standing against the wall behind.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, may I ask you, as a second-year rookie, how do you feel about reaching the finals for the first time?"
Zhou Yang was well prepared for this question.
"Last year we reached the Western Conference finals, and this year we went one step further and reached the finals. Psychologically, we have met the basic requirements, but the temptation of the championship is too great for us, and we will try our best to fight for it."
Zhou Yang's answer was very modest, but also implied murderous intent, and the reporters nodded one after another.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, the Heat's Big Three ranks second in the league in offensive efficiency and first in defensive efficiency. What do you think?"
Zhou Yang snorted softly: "The strength of the Big Three is there. It's not surprising that they have such an efficiency. I'm just curious why they didn't rank first. After all, the bosses of the three teams are grouped together."
The reporters could not help laughing when they heard the sarcasm in Zhou Yang's words.
Curry also smirked, stretched out his hand, and gave Zhou Yang a tacit high-five.
"Stephen, in the Western Conference finals last year, you and several Warriors players were injured. The Warriors only had Zhou Yang fighting alone. Do you feel regretful?"
Curry put away his smile, thought for a moment, and replied: "It's a pity, for me, I can accept failure, but I can't accept failure if I haven't worked hard!"
"Brother Yang, in the last Western Conference Finals game, God descended to earth and scored a historical high score of 82 points, but we still lost. I blame myself..."
Curry's voice became smaller and smaller, and he slowly lowered his head.
Zhou Yang knew that Curry had been blaming himself.
Although Zhou Yang persuaded him several times, Curry's competitiveness was too strong, and he was even more bitter than Zhou Yang.
Seeing that Curry was in a bad mood, the reporter changed the subject.
"Stephen, I heard that Turkoglu was seriously injured. Can he play in the finals?"
Curry sighed: "I can't say too much. Turkoglu's injury is not too serious, but he will definitely not be able to play in the first game."
The reporters all showed regretful expressions.
Originally, the Warriors' lineup was slightly weaker than that of the Heat, and this injured another general, and it was still a ball-holding point, which was really unlucky.
"Zhou Yang, if Turkoglu can't play, who will replace him?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, it depends on the coach's arrangement. You pay attention to the official data before the game."
……
The Warriors' press conference will basically not have any extraordinary news material.
But it's different with the Heat.
James played in the Cavaliers for so many years, only entered the finals once, and was shaved by the Spurs.
As the top star of Nike, James urgently needs a championship to complete his task of hitting the number one in history.
As the soul of the Heat, Wade made a lot of sacrifices after James joined the Heat.
Of course he hopes to win another championship after winning the championship in 06!
When interviewed by reporters, James and Wade were full of confidence in the finals.
"To be honest, we didn't expect the Warriors to enter the finals. There is a saying that you can't win the championship by shooting!"
"I remember that in 06, the Mavericks were also No. [-] in the league, but we were the champions!"
"The Mavericks are also a shooting-oriented team, but they still can't win the championship when they meet us!"
"Our goal is not just one championship this year, we will win three, four, five...seven!"
……
After the interview was broadcast, it aroused heated discussions among fans.
Some fans feel that the Big Three of the Heat are too arrogant, and they simply don't take the Warriors seriously.
Some fans also think that this should be the case. Before the game, there is a lot of gunpowder, just like before a boxing match, the boxers on both sides have to say a few harsh words.
Anyway, before the game, the suspense was full.
……
08:30 p.m., Golden State Oracle Arena.
Nuo Da's arena is full of Warriors fans, all wearing uniform T-shirts, and the whole field is a sea of gold.
The Heat challenge the Warriors away, and G1 of the finals begins!
The Warriors' starting lineup is Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Randolph and Barbosa.
Turkoglu is still recovering from his injuries. He will definitely not be able to play in the first game, and the second game is doubtful.
Heat's starting lineup is James, Wade, Bosh, Ilgauskas, Chalmers.
Except for Turkoglu, the other players on both sides are the same as in the regular season.
With a jump ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of the ball.
Curry dribbled the ball for halftime, and Chalmers stepped forward to defend alone.
The Heat's defensive strategy is very clear, all of which are single defenses.
Although Heat coach Spoelstra knew that Zhou Yang was not easy to deal with, he was also double-teamed in the regular season.
But this is the first game of the finals, so you can't show your timidity right away.
So the Heat did not double-team Zhou Yang, but let James defend alone.
Curry faced Chalmers, but he didn't hit hard, because Chalmers was fast and not bad in strength.
Randolph came up to screen and blocked Chalmers, and Curry quickly disassembled.
Bosh had been prepared for a long time, and immediately delayed the big delay and stopped in front of Curry.
The Heat are well prepared, knowing that the Splash Brothers can make a move as long as there is a little gap.
Although Bosh is an inside player, his feet move very fast. It is not easy for Curry to single him out.
Curry can only use fancy dribbles to break through the penalty area.
Relying on his height and long arms, Bosh was close to Curry, not giving him room to shoot.
Chandler pushes past Ilgauskas and reaches for the ball.
Curry has no shot space and can only pass the ball to Chandler.
Although Chandler does not have the ability to attack independently, he can suppress Ilgauskas with his physical talent.
Just when Chandler was about to make a layup, James suddenly came over and soared into the air. With a big cap on the board, he smashed the ball that Chandler must score into the air.
Golden State is quiet at home, James' big hat is too scary!
Wade grabbed the rebound and killed half court.
Barbossa gave chase.
Brazilian Lightning, against the Flash.
As it turns out, The Flash is even better.
Wade is not only superior in speed, but also in strength. Barbosa has no chance of fouling.
boom!
A dunk by Wade inspired the morale of the Heat team.
James ran over, bumped chests with Wade and roared!
The faces of the Warriors players were ugly. Several players were already nervous, but they were even more flustered by the offense and defense of James and Wade.
