Chapter 729 The end of an era
The halftime game ended quickly, many people left the ATT center, and the Kings returned to the locker room with a 27-point lead.

When walking into the player tunnel, a fan spat at Su Yang, and the accompanying security personnel blocked it first. Su Yang smiled and ignored the crazy fan, but just patted his shoulder to thank the security personnel, implying that there would be a generous reward. The team has a system.

Adhering to the principle of "20 points count as farts", Su Yang first praised the team's outstanding performance, and then warned the Kings generals not to be careless in the second half of the game. After all, the Kings can be infinitely close to a 0-3 comeback, and the Spurs can also be infinitely close to a 36-point comeback. .

Curry took the lead in jokingly responding: "I promise not to shoot three-pointers indiscriminately in the second half, and I will hit the basket more..."

Everyone laughed and agreed, and then talked about Antetokounmpo's injury, and made a video call with Antetokounmpo who was undergoing examination in the hospital.The results of the examination showed that there was no serious problem, just rest for ten days.Antetokounmpo is ready to come back and take part in the celebration with protective measures.

After the chat, Su Yang told the generals of the Kings that if there is a conflict in the second half, try to exercise restraint, and even take the initiative to give in, because the Spurs may lose control of their emotions if they lose in a hurry, and the Kings cannot afford more injuries and potential suspensions .

Cousins ​​was the first to say that he should remain calm, emphasizing that the team has a great future and there is no need to rush.

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard the words, and when they heard Cousins ​​urging people to calm down, even though Cousins ​​hadn't lost his temper for a long time, it was still a bit weird, like a former mafia boss who, after leaving the gang, dragged people on the street. Passers-by say to be kind.

The whole team returned to the court instead, warming up their shots meticulously, with a serious attitude, as if they were behind.

The third quarter started immediately.

The Spurs changed, Gay replaced Gasol in the starting position as a power forward, and Alder moved to the center position.

The Kings rotated normally, and they still choked the pass line to force the Spurs to single out. Since the Spurs had more Gay in the starting lineup, it was not so easy for the Spurs to help defend, and their scoring efficiency was greatly improved, but they could not set off an offensive climax. The defense is so-so, and it has never been able to narrow the point difference.By the end of the third quarter, the Kings extended their lead to 29 points, almost declaring it.

Between the three and four festivals, Twitter and other platforms sparked heated discussions.

Someone scolded Popovich for being stubborn and inflexible. He started the game with Gay. He couldn’t lose so badly. The rotation was a complete piece of shit. If the field regains its momentum, it is self-inflicted.

Some people yelled at Ade for being a fake super giant, who can only cast super gods with the wind, but against the wind is all kinds of softies, if you can't fight, don't fight.

Some people ridiculed Su Yang that he couldn't win without Curry. In the Thunder, he also relied on Durant's superb skills. It was just good luck.

Amidst various discussions, the fourth quarter started.

Popovich continued to operate frantically. He chose to remove Aldridge and let Gay play center. With Leonard and the three guards, he sprinted with all his strength and successfully played a wave of 12 to 3 offensive. However, with the return of the king's main force, the situation become stable again.

During the game, Ginobili made the young Tatum so angry that he almost rushed to fight. Fortunately, Su Yang reminded him in the locker room during midfield, and he calmed down quickly, holding his hands high. Turn around and walk away, indicating that it's okay.

At the last 1 minute and 40 seconds, the Spurs were still behind by 16 points, but they had no intention of giving up early. Not only did they double-team the whole game, but they also tried to foul the Spurs themselves when they made free throws, hoping to send Nance Jr., who had a bad free throw percentage, to free throws. Wire.

It is nothing more than two free throws and one throw for fouls without the ball in the last 2 minutes. The Spurs can only do that. It can be said that there is no way out, but Popovich calls someone HIT ME to knock over the cup and use the time to stop the game by wiping the floor. Make tactical arrangements.

In the end, the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Payton Jr. threw the ball to the ceiling, and the Kings won 119 to 101.

The Kings also advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a 4-3 series, and their opponent was the long-awaited Rockets.

Su Yang walked to the technical stage without any fluctuations in his heart, and shook hands with Popovich without any polite communication.

Before the game, there were rumors that Popovich would choose to retire if there was a major reversal, but in Su Yang’s opinion, with Popovich’s character, he must find a way to get back. A qualified back line suddenly becomes a burden.

The photographer next to him caught the moment when the two shook hands and made Su Yang laugh, but Su Yang ignored it.

I wanted to shake hands with the Spurs players, but Leonard and others left directly. Only the old Kings player Gay, the Trail Blazers favorite Adelaide, and a few role players stayed. Instead, Duncan and David Robinson took the initiative to find Congratulations.

In the whole game, Curry scored 28 points, 12 assists, and 4 steals. The fly in the ointment was that he only made 11 of 4 three-pointers. Tatum supported the King's three-pointer.

On the Spurs side, Leonard played abnormally, making only 23 of 9 shots, hitting the basket all the time, but only made 7 free throws.

Su Yang went straight back to the locker room. After simple preparations, he rushed to the media center to attend the post-match press conference.

Nearly a hundred media, large and small, were present, making it the most watched second-round series in NBA history.

After a brief introduction by the staff, ESPN reporter Lauren Ayer first asked: "Congratulations on completing the first 0-3 reversal in NBA history, and the opponent is the Spurs, which has always been known for its tenacity. May I ask how you feel now?"

"Honestly, I'm calm, even worried..."

Su Yang bluntly expressed his inner thoughts, "I ended the third quarter, and in the middle of the fourth quarter, I had already celebrated in my heart and shouted excitedly. Now I am more worried about Giannis' health and how to quickly recover from the seven games. recover from physical and mental exhaustion, and face the upcoming Western Conference Finals in a better state. According to the schedule, we only have three days..."

TNT reporter Laidlow asked: "If because of Giannis' injury and poor physical strength of the team, the Rockets fall behind 0 to 3 again, are you sure to achieve a miracle again? Or when will Giannis be able to reappear to participate in the game?"

"I have no idea!"

Su Yang chuckled: "The situation of the game needs to wait until the game starts to be clear. Giannis has no structural damage and needs to rest for about 10 days. According to the schedule, he may come back in the third game of the series, but everything is still unknown."

After answering several questions one after another, the post-match press conference ended, and Su Yang, Curry and others went straight to the team bus.

According to the plan, the whole team took the luggage prepared in advance, boarded the plane and flew directly to Houston for preparation.

Before the plane took off, Su Yang replied to Jiang Ruolan and others' congratulations one by one, and together with Curry and others, recorded a short video and posted it on the MT platform. With the support of the official recommendation, the video quickly became a hot topic on the site. Ranked number one.

After posting the video, Twitter retweeted LeBron, Paul and others to express their gratitude. By the way, they liked and retweeted Pippen and others’ previous tweets, especially the one that thought it was difficult to reverse 0-3. Directly comment and reply one 'factos'.

The flight took off instead, and the kings and generals did not fall asleep. Some watched movies and some played BOORAY.Su Yang originally wanted to remind the whole team to maintain normal work and rest, so as to avoid getting into a relatively poor state of health, but he thought that he had been depressed for a long time, and it was also important to vent his mind.

The season landed in Houston at two o'clock in the morning, and everyone couldn't wait to turn on their phones to see if there were any more compliments. However, Su Yang noticed that TMZ broke the news, claiming that Harden had just walked out of a nightclub, and the attached photo indeed showed a big beard .

 Today the Grizzlies beat the Celtics by 73 points. I am too conservative to write a 60+ victory over the Celtics. Reality is more exaggerated than fiction.
