All the preparations ended on June 1. After waiting for a few days, the 2017 NBA Finals officially kicked off at the Barclays Center.

On this day, the arena was crowded with people, and people were also coming and going at the broadcast booth, making the whole environment extremely lively.

In fact, not only in the arena, more than 300 global media will broadcast the game in real time tonight.

After previous intense publicity, the NBA is about to usher in an unprecedented basketball era.

The live cameras also kept scanning the court, including Lin Ying, James, Curry, Durant, Green, Jokic, Thompson, Rose...

These shots alone have already made some fans' hearts boil with restlessness.

And in the auditorium, fans also found many familiar figures.

For example, in the front row, fans met Kobe, Vanessa, and their daughter Giga.

After playing his last playoff game, Kobe blew a kiss to the fans at Staples Center, said the words "mamba.out" with tears in his eyes, and officially bid farewell to the basketball stage.

Although the game lasted longer than in history, and we only quit at the last minute, we still regretted not being able to win in the end.

But in the blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed, and Kobe has adjusted his mentality and begun to enjoy his post-retirement life with his family.

And he did follow what Lin Ying said at the beginning, no longer taking a helicopter, but using a car as a means of transportation.

All in all, according to the camera, Kobe's belly has gained weight in less than a month, which fully proves that his life after retirement is so relaxed and comfortable.

During the warm-up before the game, he went down to the court to chat with Lin Ying. The smile that kept on his lips was more than when he was playing together.

Barkley's phrase "Don't take me off the field, I'll have plenty of time to rest after I die" was somewhat pretentious. It would be more appropriate if he replaced it with "I'll have plenty of time to rest after I retire." But that would seem

It has no momentum and will not be passed down.

The on-site warm-up is over, followed by the opening ceremony.

Although it has been almost many years, when James from the Warriors came on the court, the fans still gave him his trademark boos.

New York fans are very vindictive. If they don't "praise Mayor Yang", how can the classic be passed down forever?

Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, James, Green.

Cole changed his formation directly in the opening game and directly used the "Final Version of Death Five".

It seems that facing an old acquaintance of the Nets, he chose to skip the foreplay.

The Nets still have the regular five: Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, and Jokic.

Lu Lian's tactics are clear-cut, and staying the same to cope with all changes is his biggest trump card.

During the final preparations for the opening ceremony, Lu directly named Jokic.

Although the tactics are simple, as the best head coach, Lu is not a mascot. Targeting something has always been his specialty.

The little fat man is also eager to try, although he has already had a brilliant performance against the Knicks before.

But, what is something that you would be satisfied with once you have enjoyed it?

During the Warriors' half, Cole also seized the last moment to emphasize the problem of interior defense.

Since he chose to use five small players, he obviously also targeted it on the defensive end.

A short whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the game began immediately, with players from both sides taking the stage one after another.

The cheers of the fans at the scene can no longer be stopped, and the curtain of the most star-studded finals in NBA history is about to begin.

James did not continue to throw powder before taking the court. After he left the Cavaliers, he canceled this ceremony.

Jokic and Green's jump ball in the center circle.

The courtside whistle sounded, and Jokic easily moved the ball back to the Nets' half, giving the home team the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Jokic came up and sank to the low post. The Nets' No. 3 tactic: little fat man playing in isolation.

However, before Jokic received the ball, Green took him a step outside. Then when Jokic received the ball, Thompson on the strong side had already quickly flanked him inside.

The Nets' field configuration is three All-Stars and two role players.

Kerr's strategy is not to switch defenses endlessly, but to attack the three All-Stars and leave two role players open.

As someone who has performed well in the finals, he knows that it is difficult for role players to perform in such a competition.

And his priority is to let go of players like Ariza whose outside shooting is unstable.

Jokic decisively passed the ball to the outside, and Ariza made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The trajectory of the ball is very positive.

"Dang!"

But unfortunately, Cole's judgment was still very accurate, Ariza's three-pointer was indeed missed!

The Warriors' defensive strategy worked!

But just as the basketball hit the frame, Jokic had already used his fat body to run over Green's face, and then successfully grabbed the offensive rebound with accurate prediction!

Green's lower body strength is excellent, and his black and tough top is very effective, but it is not that useful against a nimble fat guy like Jokic.

Moreover, Jokic's static physical talent is very good, and there is no such thing as Green attacking from behind to grab the board.

In the eyes of the fans, after Jokic turned around to grab the offensive rebound, he turned around and pressed Green to wipe the board from close range.

Green is completely helpless against this style of play.

So in the end, the Warriors' defensive strategy was only half correct.

Fortunately, the Warriors played efficiently on the offensive end, and the splash opened up the space. James broke through Ariza to the basket and scored a layup with a small pull-up after a confrontation.

One thing must be admitted, although James has continued to fail over the years, his skills have continued to improve.

Moreover, his personal desire to attack was also very strong at the beginning.

Just like McGrady said in the show before, since he has chosen the most difficult road, he must have no reservations in order to succeed.

In the Nets' offense, Jokic continued to hold the ball in the low post, and the Warriors also continued to attack.

Ariza got another chance, and this time it was better than the previous chance.

After all, when you fail to score, your opponents will only pay less and less attention to you.

Ariza made adjustments this time before taking action.

"Whoa!"

With a crisp sound, Ariza's three-pointer hit the net.

Don’t mistake Tiezha as a shooter!

Although this "3" is not very stable, it is still a well-known 3D in the league!

2 to 5!

The Nets scored in two consecutive rounds in the opening round and are in hot shape!

However, James rushed Ariza and scored with a layup against Durant's attack.

After scoring the goal, James immediately looked at the referee and stretched out his hand to indicate that he had been fouled. However, when he saw that the whistle was not blown, he spread his hands and walked to the backcourt.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jokic continued to ask for the ball in the low post. This time the Warriors chose Curry's top of the key to attack inside.

However, the effect of this ball's double hit is obviously not as high as the previous one, because this is Curry, and it comes from the top of the arc.

Jokic directly chose to attack the basket. After continuous confrontation, he turned around and then turned around. Before Curry could arrive, he had already shot a rebound shot from the baseline.

Green was crushed around by a ball of white flesh. He stretched out his hand to fight back, but he found that he couldn't grasp the thing at all.

"Bang!"

Jokic completed a rebound shot over Green.

The basketball rubbed the net bag and entered the frame!

The little fat guy has been holding it in for so long, how could he be done in just a few strokes?

But looking back, it was James again. This time he broke through the basket again, attracted a double attack and passed the ball to Green at the top of the key.

After Green received the ball, he was completely different from before. When he saw Jokic far away from him, he shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Whoa!"

Then, you vote and you get it!

After two minutes of play, the two teams were tied 7-7!

From tactical targeting to game execution, both teams showed superb levels.

And you have to know that this is even before the "Splash Brothers" and "Texas Twins" failed to perform.

The opening two sides were more like a confrontation between Jokic and James.

But it was just a duel like this, and both sides had already fully demonstrated their skills.

But soon, the Nets' attack was blocked.

Jokic continued to attack the basket, but this time James shrank to the basket without Jokic noticing, and fanned the ball directly out of the court the moment Jokic took action!

After blocking the shot, James excitedly performed the iconic "The Sliene" celebration on the sidelines, showing off his domineering spirit.
