Chapter 780 We are the most professional in beating Kaizi
After the third game between the Kings and the Spurs, Twitter and other social media related discussions, in just 10 minutes, there were [-] content, and the hot topics were 'Giannis three points', 'Kings [-]-[-] Spurs', 'Leonard Suspected injuries' appeared one after another.

Many ordinary fans, active players such as LeBron and Lillard, retired celebrities such as Pippen and McGrady, well-known commentators such as Buck and Stephen A, major media such as ESPN and TNT, all expressed the same theme: super super shocked!
Pre-match predictions were 7-1. In the end, the Kings led [-]-[-]. The degree of surprise was no less than Germany and Brazil [-]-[-].

The three-point shot by Brother Antetokounmpo was too dramatic, even more outrageous than making a movie: at the last moment, no timeout was called, the fast break pass was blocked, he flew to save the ball, caught the teammate's half-throwing pass, and scored 30 % hit rate, making a quasi-lore.

Beckham tweeted: "The only suspense now is whether the king will follow the example of Germany and release water..."

Durant forwarded Beckham's tweet: "To tell you the truth, I have admired Coach Su Yang's coaching ability since the 08 Rookie Challenge. Now that 11 years have passed, my admiration for him has become more devout. , I also had the idea of ​​whether I was too dick, but it was completely gone in the third year, because until tonight, I can still see his decisiveness..."

Embiid tweeted: "After watching this game tonight, I have a new understanding of basketball. The last time I had such a moment, it was the first time I played a game when I just arrived in the United States from Cameroon. Coach Su Yang and The Kings let me improve again!"

While the outside world was discussing hotly, Su Yang himself was quite shocked.

After finishing the press conference, he led the team back to the hotel, took the assistant coaches to watch the quick replay of the game, and found that when Antetokounmpo made a three-point shot, he almost stepped on the sideline. Fortunately, after entering the field, He didn't move any more.

Throughout the entire game, the Kings team shot only 37.3%, and only made 45 of 14 three-pointers. Part of the reason for shooting so many three-pointers was that it was difficult for the Spurs to get inside. The dash strategy did not materialize.

In terms of fouls, the king also exploded, with a total of 30 times in the game. As a result, the final three-pointer was a quasi-lore, instantly establishing the series victory.

"Leonard should be really injured..."

Su Yang repeatedly watched the highlights of the Spurs' offense in the second half. Leonard only took 9 shots in total, without any assists, that is, he did not take the initiative to attack with the ball. He also made a rare 5 turnovers. irrefutable evidence.

"It's a pity!"

Assistant coach Mike Brown shook his head and sighed, "If Leonard is not injured, this will be a more exciting series."

Assistant coaches Jenkins and West nodded silently. The state of a core player like Leonard will affect the operation of the whole team.

At noon the next day, the Spurs officially announced that Leonard was only slightly contused and would not affect Game [-].

Regarding the official announcement of the Spurs, the mainstream view is that Leonard is forced to play, nothing more than trying not to be swept away, but that does not solve the problem. The Spurs still find a way to solve the core shortcomings of the weak bench lineup, otherwise they will face the Kings in the future. Still dare not relax the rotation, and continue to use the main force of dead grass. Regardless of Leonard or Paul, the risk of injury will greatly increase.

Seeing the news, Su Yang didn't care. He arranged training as usual, and watched the game between the Celtics and the Raptors at night. The Celtics still beat the Raptors and took a 3-0 lead. The probability of advancing to the finals increased to 99%. Smart's interview has already called out the Kings.

Smart's behavior has been ridiculed a lot. Many fans believe that if LeBron's injury caused the Cavaliers to fight, the Raptors would not be able to reverse the Cavaliers. It's so easy now.

On NO.19 the next day, the fourth game of the playoffs between the Kings and Spurs continued at the ATT Center in San Antonio.

Sure enough, Leonard continued to play, but he was obviously out of shape. He only hit 4 of 1 offensive shots, and Antetokounmpo couldn't stand it at all. Antetokounmpo took the opportunity to score 8 points on 5 of 11 shots in the first quarter, allowing Paul to shoot 5 of 4 also becomes useless.

The Kings led 32 to 31 and entered the second quarter. It may be because of Leonard's injury. Popovich did not let Leonard debut early, but Leonard did not even have a serious substitute. Second-round rookies Metu and Veteran Quincy was brutally hammered by the king.

Relying on a wave of 9-0 offensive, the Kings led 65-55 at the end of the half. Antetokounmpo scored 24 points. Leonard, who was facing him, only took 1 shot in the second quarter. There were 5 of 1, and 1 assist and 1 turnover.

The injury is clearly affecting Leonard.

During the intermission, many fans tweeted and sighed: "Why is the king so strong and so lucky, and in the most difficult series, he encountered the opponent's core injury..." Completely ignoring that the king also suffered core injuries .

Some fans also pointed out: "Popovich wants to win the Kings too much. Against the Kings this season, Leonard is always allowed to play for a long time. That way of playing will get hurt sooner or later. After all, Leonard was injured by Winslow. Sickness, physical strength is not good."

In the locker room, Su Yang reminded the whole team: "Don't get too excited, it's just a very good lead. We once came back from a 9-point deficit at the end of Game [-]. What's more, the Spurs have the entire second half. How should we play and how should we play?" ..."

After the words fell, Curry and others nodded.

After all, the Spurs have a strong historical tradition, and this kind of moment must not be careless, and don't let the Spurs catch their breath.

The game started in the third quarter, and both teams worked hard, especially on the defensive end. The Kings allowed Paul to make 6 of 2 shots, while the Spurs let Curry make 6 of 1 shots. They finally tied and entered the fourth. In this season, the situation is extremely favorable for the king.

Unexpectedly, the Kings were troubled by fouls entering the fourth quarter. Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo got 8 fouls in 5 minutes, and Brogdon also got 2 fouls, allowing the Spurs to play a 16-7 attack wave. Only 1 point ahead in the last ten seconds.

Su Yang called a timeout to arrange tactics. After a successful serve, the Spurs chose to foul, and Curry made two free throws steadily.When the Spurs attacked again, Su Yang instructed to start a penalty shootout without giving the Spurs a chance to shoot a three-pointer. The Kings finally won 97-95.

With a 4-0 score, the Kings defeated the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals series and successfully advanced to the Finals.The moment the whistle sounded for the finale, Popovich got up and left the table, rarely did not pay tribute to his opponents as he had been used to for many years, and Su Yang did not force it.

Leading by only two points, many fans feel sorry for the Spurs. They think that if Leonard was injured in the first half of the third game, the Spurs would have won at least two games. It can only be said that the Spurs are too unlucky, and it must be said that the Kings are strong enough , seized the opportunity.

Participated in the press conference after the game, and talked about whether the team's series results were unexpected, Su Yang said: "Before the series started, I told the whole team that we were on equal terms with the Spurs, and any outcome was possible. Hats off to Kawhi Leonard, CP3, and Coach Popovich for the Spurs leading 0-3, we were even luckier this time around."

After the press conference, the Kings team flew back to Saskatchewan overnight. Su Yang announced a three-day holiday and asked the whole team to relax.

On the 23rd, Lukai defeated the Raptors 4-1, officially advanced to the finals, and competed with the Kings for the championship.

Green Kai officially tweeted to celebrate, and also released a video of ESPN interviewing Green Kai owner Grossback. The reporter asked how sure he was of defeating the king. Walters.

Su Yang saw the video and sent a message to Curry: "Your performance in the last round of the series was quite average. This time against Boston, we have very professional experience. You are ready to break Rick Barry's scoring average in the finals. Yet?"

As far as Lukai's backcourt defense is concerned, Curry is very likely to go crazy.
