Chapter 385 Returning to the Peak
On June 2002, 6, many Golden State Warriors fans gathered at Oracle Arena in San Francisco. After all, the last time the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship, it had to be traced back to the 5-1974 season in ancient times.

"Okay, let's take a look at the visiting team that came from afar today, the starting lineup of the New Jersey Nets, center Todd Mark Lodge, 2 meters 13 is seven feet, and weighs 280 pounds, this is everyone Partner."

"You must know that in the Warriors, Uncle Mu and Big Ben are both only 240 pounds, and only Dayao has gained weight and has just exceeded 300 pounds. The Nets center, who is more than ten centimeters shorter than Yao Ming, weighs [-] pounds. Not much lighter."

"The head coach of the New Jersey Nets, Byron Scott, still trusts the experienced Mark Lodge a little more. The Nets also have a center Jason Collins who is also 2 meters tall and 13 feet tall. He The weight is not small, a full 7 pounds. It is worth mentioning that Scott is a rookie player this year, a first-year rookie, who was selected by the Rockets with the 255th pick in the first round and then exchanged to the Nets."

"The Nets can reach the Finals and get out of the encirclement of the Eastern Conference teams, relying on their power forward, Kenyon Martin, this gentleman can run and dunk, and his athletic ability is amazing, but he is most afraid of meeting someone more powerful than him." Tough inside player, then he will play more embarrassingly."

"The Nets' starting small forward, Keith Van Horn, was considered to be the successor of Larry Bird when he first entered the NBA. Height, which makes sports media practitioners in mainstream American society have great expectations of him."

"The Nets starting shooting guard Corey Kidders, his three-pointers and two-pointers are very accurate, he is a very good offensive guard."

"The Nets' Ding Haishenzhen is naturally their point guard Jason Kidd. It can be said that the Nets have undergone earth-shaking changes this season. The big reason is that they have traded for the best point guard in the entire NBA. Kidd Germany."

"An NBA team with Kidd will often change from a mediocre team to a team that can compete for the NBA championship. It is so amazing. The Nets this season have proved this with facts. a little."

"Last season's Nets didn't change much from this season's personnel. The attackers mainly rely on two forward players, Martin and Van Horn. That is, the point guard has changed from the lone wolf Marbury to Jason Kidd. Last season, the Nets had a record of 26 wins and 56 losses in the regular season, ranking fourth from the bottom in the East, and the head coach has not changed, it is Byron Scott."

"And this season's Nets, 52 wins and 30 losses, ranked first in the Eastern Conference regular season, so there is no need to discuss the role of Jason Kidd."

"After three days of rest for the Warriors, Coach Lenny has sent out his strongest lineup. After all, they have reached the final step. No one wants to stumble on the stage of the finals."

"Center No. 11 Shenzhou Dayao, this is his first nba season, he has experience in the finals, and he is completely different from players who have not played in the playoffs. The nba is a school. You start from the first day you enter From the beginning, until you leave, you have countless things to learn, and Yao Ming's NBA journey has obviously just begun."

"Power forward No. 7 Jermaine O'Neal, with a height of 2 meters, has proved himself in the Western Conference playoffs. Whether he played against the Mavericks or the Kings, and finally eliminated the famous OK combination of the Lakers, Jermaine O'Neal has proved to the world , he is a great power forward, not inferior to any legendary NBA star."

"The Warriors started small forward McGrady. Obviously, the Warriors can enter the finals. McGrady has contributed a lot. He made several key shots and helped the team defeat opponents one after another. Even Lakers coach Phil Jackson was frank. Tracy McGrady and Kobe will be the strongest forward scorers in the NBA in the next few years, and they will dominate the league for many years."

"The Warriors twins who are as famous as McGrady, Grant Hill, the most popular in the United States, although he wears the hat of the crown prince of God, Hill has never used a championship ring to prove himself. The NBA is so realistic. History is won The players of the ball wrote that if you win the championship, you are a great player, otherwise you have to leave alone, no one applauds."

"Hill is the captain of the Warriors on the field. His prestige and experience will help the young Warriors move forward. He has changed to a shooting guard, and he is assisted by the teenager Tracy McGrady. Under the two of them taking turns to attack, there is rarely that team. NBA teams can withstand that."

"The Warriors' starting point guard No. 4 is Chauncey Billups. In the absence of Arenas, Billups is on top alone. The big ship sails by the helmsman. Obviously Billups is the Warriors. The most stable helmsman on a big ship, his big heart has been proven countless times."

"Dayao and Nets center Mark Lodge jump the ball. Mark Lodge, who is obviously of average athletic ability, can't jump Yao Ming who is 2 meters tall. In fact, Yao Ming may be more than 26 meters tall. Some NBA players like to The taller was reported, and our Dayao probably reported his barefoot height, and he didn’t feel like he was standing up straight.”

"McGrady takes the ball. He is often the first starting point of the Warriors' offense. Amidst the crazy shouts of more than 2 fans at the Oracle Arena, McGrady chose to break through and took a big step past Van Horn. Van Horn, a white player who is 2 meters 08, weighs only 100 kilograms, and his speed obviously cannot keep up with McGrady."

"The Nets power forward Martin had no choice but to come up to intercept, and the point guard Jason Kidd also double-teamed. At the beginning of the game, they must not allow the Warriors players to fly around in the paint area of ​​the Nets. This hurts morale."

"McGrady's physical fitness is really amazing. He lowered his head and continued to charge after he feinted. He circled around the basket and passed the ball out of the three-point line. He alone attracted three Nets players to double-team him. Undefended."

"For the Nets, there is no way. If there is no double-teaming, McGrady or Hill singles, no one in the Nets can defend them alone. To be honest, breakthroughs are far more terrifying than long-range shots. Now The NBA still believes in the belief that you can’t win a game by shooting.”

"A layup after a breakthrough, or a foul free throw, is far more harmful to a team than a cold arrow from outside the three-point line. After all, the most accurate three-pointers now have a shooting percentage of only 40%, and strong insiders, such as O’Neal is like Dayao, their stable shooting percentage can often be as high as 55% or more.”

"As for breakthrough players like Tracy McGrady and Hill, once they rush into the interior and take off, whether it is dunking, wiping the board, or cheating fouls, their scoring efficiency will not be worse than that of a strong center. This is an easy account. Leave The farther you go from the basket, the lower your shooting percentage."
