According to the schedule, the king will take a day off.

At 8 a.m. the next day, NBA officially announced the best team of the year. Curry was successfully selected for the first team and Cousins ​​was selected for the second team.

After winning the best team, Curry and Cousins ​​activate the reward terms in the contract and have to pay an additional $800,000 in salary.

But it doesn't matter. With such achievements, the two of them will have a happy match, the average ticket price will also rise, and they can earn it back in one game.

The team's marketing and department came up with a plan that had been prepared and held a celebration for Curry and Cousins.

Su Yang also went to participate. At night, he looked at the Eastern Conference Finals between the Hawks and the Bulls and found that the Hawks were still the same problem. They did not have an absolute superstar and could not withstand it at critical moments. While the Bulls were brutal defenses, Ross, Butler and Anthony took turns to fight one-on-one.

As long as there is no accident, the Kings will advance to the finals and have a showdown with the Bulls. The current situation looks like it will be 55.

Regarding the Hawks losing a big score, fans said that the Eastern Conference Final was boring. If it was exciting, they had to watch the Eastern Conference Final, Harden's lone hero.

Kings players are too strong.

The Rockets are too weak except for Harden.

So no one discussed whether Harden was inadequate, which prevented Harden from being evaluated by LeBron during the Cavaliers.

Perhaps it is because Harden did not enter the league with the name of the Chosen Son, and fans and media expectations are not that high.

The next day on the 22nd, the King continued to fight against the Rockets.

After several rounds of play, Su Yang found that Harden was still like the first game, first of all, he used the pass to drive his teammates, and decisively instructed LaVine to defend alone. Anyway, he just kept close to the defense and shot. As a result, Harden insisted on the pass priority strategy and forced assists.

After all the trouble, Harden really made it.

However, Harden is so strong that his physical strength cannot keep up with the defensive end. Lavender and Curry scored too easily. He helped the Kings lead 36-28 in the first quarter, scored five three-pointers, scored 60%, and scored 12 assists. The scene looked like a team training.

The Rockets rely extremely on three-pointers but failed to shoot at normal levels.

As the game reached the second quarter, Harden may feel that he had to assist, and he took the field for two minutes to rest, and started to fight frantically, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, and also scored 3 assists and 5 rebounds. He was the best free throw because the Kings insisted on defending breakthroughs.

But even if Harden is strong, the Rockets can never narrow the score difference to within five points, which shows that there is a level gap between the two teams.

Harden was not discouraged.

The third and fourth quarters insisted on attacking in the early stages, but unfortunately, it was impossible to change the situation. The Rockets were desperate with five minutes left, and they doubled Curry four times in a row, directly blocking the box1 tactics and defending Curry down.

Su Yang casually replaced Turner and Thomas Jr., and joined forces with Curry to form a three-man organization, Antetokounmpo and Green rushed to the sky.

After several rounds of battle, the Rockets automatically retreated.

After the game, the Kings won 104-98.

Curry scored 38 points, 9 assists and 10 rebounds with a real shooting percentage of 73%, and Harden scored 38 points, 9 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block with a real shooting percentage of 74%. It can be said that he can still leave with his head held high on the night of losing.

But there are no extreme fans.

The first game was not finished and the second game was doubled.

What is "no championship without Durant," what is "no LeBron's level at all", what is "high shooting percentage depends entirely on the Kings' single defense and no shooting," what is "McHale was trying to suppress the superstar Howard in the first place"...

Shunfeng Curry is a little invincible.

In the fourth quarter, it turned into garbage time. The Rockets arranged for Capela and other substitutes to come on the bench early, but did not try to resist.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Rockets 115-80, and led 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals series, and advanced in the hope.

Curry made 12 of 19 shots, 7 of 9 three-pointers, 40 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds in the game, 2 steals and 1 block.

In comparison, Harden, who was crazyly targeted, made 3 of 16 shots in the game and scored 17 points with 11 free throws.

Harden's expression was quite injured.

Fans and media mocked Harden one after another, mainly saying that Harden can't be the boss, he can only be the leader of the second and third place. The real shooting guard-style boss should be Jordan, Kobe, and Wade. Even if he encounters strict prevention, he can lead the team to win.

After the game, I returned to the hotel to review.

Mike Brown suggested that Cousins ​​must be the main attacker in the fourth game, because the two rounds of the playoffs are about to be finished, Cousins' presence is getting lower and lower. The Kings use the five-square lineup too frequently. Even if they give up in one game against the Thunder, Cousins ​​is positioned as a franchise protection and rebounding, which is a bit like a blue-collar worker. To avoid Cousins's thoughts from being ignored in his heart, he still has to use it in the finals.
