According to the schedule, the King has three days to prepare.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Yang rushed to the stadium and reviewed the second game with the scouts and assistant coach team.

The embarrassing thing is that after watching all offense and defense rounds three times in the entire game, there are many things that can be improved, but they cannot be changed quickly. Tatum and Lavine handle the ball when they are double-teamed, Rose's running and receiving three-pointers, Payton's ball-control skills, etc.

That means the king will not have more changes in the future, and everything is under the control of the Spurs.

After the review, Su Yang rushed to the training ground and focused on the actual combat confrontation training of Curry and Brogden. However, in just a few rounds, he found that the two had not yet recovered to the level of playing in the high-end team. Kaufman said that he was expected to make a comeback early was optimistic.

Perhaps that is also a misdiagnosis.

During the break, Curry took the initiative to find Su Yang and said bluntly: "Coach, no matter what, I will play in the third game."

Su Yang thought for a moment: "Okay, but as long as you feel that the situation is wrong, you must immediately call a pause, and your injury cannot aggravate."

Actually, I don’t really want Curry to play, but I just want to give it a try. After all, it’s rare in history to win four consecutive championships.

Curry left, Brogden came over and said seriously: "Coach, I can come back early to participate in the third game."

Su Yang waved his hand directly when he heard this: "Don't take risks, tendon tear is not a minor problem, one more time is one." So determined is mainly because Brogdon has a relatively small impact on the situation and is substitutable, and the benefits of forcing the battle are extremely low.

After the training, Su Yang was interviewed by espn team reporter Lindsay on the sidelines and revealed that Curry would make a comeback in G3.

The interview was soon reported.

A small number of fans believe that the Kings' chance to reverse a comeback, but most fans are still not optimistic that the Kings can win the series. The main reason is that the Spurs are too strong and there is a precise execution like a factory assembly line this season, unless the Kings are fully capable.

Bill Simmons tweeted: "We all know that in NBA history, when the series was 0-2 behind 0-2, they forced their comeback to play and finally win the series. On this planet, even if Michael Jordan has not played for more than three weeks, he will be less efficient. Curry's biggest disadvantage from the first place in history is that it is not stable enough."

Pippen tweeted: "Su Yang is completely taking risks. Although I have said before that I will not criticize him, it is completely unnecessary for him to let Curry come back and participate in the battle. The Spurs lead 2-0 not because the Kings do not have Curry, but crush them in all directions."

Stephen Smith tweeted: "I have noticed that many people are underestimating Curry's decision to come back, but I believe Curry and Su Yang never do anything meaningless. They are put together to build the first wealthy NBA family, wait and see."

Su Yang was deeply moved by all kinds of remarks.

I have been at the top before, but I really don’t have the chance to feel these things, even though Curry’s injuries have been reduced.

Some people also mocked Su Yang for not beating a strong team without Curry. In fact, the first round of the Thunder was very dangerous and the promotion was promoted.

The next night on the third day, the third match between the Kings and the Spurs in the Western Conference semi-finals started at the Golden One Center Arena in Sass City.

The Spurs' starting lineup has not been changed.

On the King's side, Curry started to play.

Amid the cheers of the whole field, the Spurs won the jump ball, and started the main attack on the inside, but encountered Antetokounmpo's life-long defense and a bang to hit the iron.

The Kings of Changes attacked, and the Spurs firmly let Antetokounmpo and Lopez make three-pointers, boldly double-teaming Curry and others. Antetokounmpo then received the ball and made a move, but he really failed to hit it. But Tatum took advantage of the chaos to grab the offensive rebound and turned back and made a difficult move.

Turn around and attack again, and be polite. After conducting the run multiple times, Leonard misplaced and forced Curry to switch to defense.

There is no way to defend.

The Spurs were leading 8-2, and what worried Su Yang even more was that Curry was obviously in a state deviation.

Fortunately, Laven and Tatum stood up, and the two specialized in the Spurs' weak defense areas, and took turns to stop and scored mid-range shots.

The Kings held the score tightly and overtook the Spurs by 4 points, but unexpectedly, after a regular timeout rotation, Curry made a defensive foul, Tatum made a three-pointer, allowing the Spurs to score two three-pointers in a row, and in turn over the Kings by 2 points.

Immediately afterwards, the Kings' offense collapsed completely, on the one hand, the Spurs defended well, and on the other hand, they lost large open spots.

After the first quarter, the king was 11 points behind.

Curry made 1 of 4 shots and made two mistakes. His performance was a bit bad, but his strategic role was not reflected.

During the break between the festival, Su Yang saw that the atmosphere of the king and the generals was sluggish. He first cheered up and encouraged him: "The game is very difficult, but the game is not over yet. I believe all of you, you must believe me, I think there is still a glimmer of opportunity."

The second quarter started immediately. The Spurs players were excited and calm. Facing the King's various running positions, they did not miss or miss the position at all. Compared with the regular season, they seemed to be a level up. All the players were in the zone state, and they completely suppressed the King on both offense and defense.

Su Yang was a little stupid, especially Gasol's performance that seemed to return to the peak. It should have declined significantly this season.

The half-time game was over and the Kings were 18 points behind.

The only highlight is that Curry scored 11 points in 4 of 5 shots in the second quarter, which showed signs of regaining his form, but only scored.

Back to the locker room after halftime.

The atmosphere in the Kings team was in a low mood.

It's really impossible to beat.

Leonard was simply perverted. He made 7 of 13 shots in the half, and made 11 free throws, efficiently scoring 26 points, 3 assists and 8 rebounds. It was said that Jordan was a card-frame version, but he was really not a fool. Although there were few steals and blocks, he felt that he was everywhere and had a great threat.

Su Yang didn't say much,

It is better to understand that speaking too much is likely to backfire. It is better to attack and defend one by one, and catch up steadily and use actions to lead actions.

But I talked to Curry again and confirmed that there was no risk of recurrence in the injury, probably because there was no breakthrough in the first half.

After the halftime break, I returned to the stadium and found that the fans were temporarily making slogans for cheering. Some people used their mobile phones to scroll through large characters in full screen, while some people gathered together, raised their hands and let go in unison, and encouraged the whole team through pattern changes.

Su Yang almost burst into tears.

The king and the generals also rekindled their fighting spirit.

But the game was still cruel. Popovich suddenly made strong points and partial cooperation. Leonard and Ad both made a roundabout way, both of them could be inside and outside. Whether the King double-teamed or delayed, or had three defenses or even direct joint defense, it was not easy to use.

The King's offensive efficiency is quite good, but he can't defend against the double-dea combination. Ade's mid-range shot is available and he can hit a three-pointer.

In that situation, the Kings could never narrow the score difference, and even widened the score difference by Millsbelstein three three-pointers.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Kings fell behind 96 to 121, Su Yang requested a timeout and replaced all the main players.

In the end, the Kings lost to the Spurs 101-129, and fell behind the Spurs 0-3 in the Western Conference semi-finals, and made a slim advancement.

Curry made a comeback for 28 minutes and only scored 19 points. Most of them used cover to rush to vote, which only played a little role.

Media such as espn released statistics as soon as possible, pointing out that NBA has never fallen behind 0-3 in history. Since entering the new century, the Trail Blazers are the one who falls behind 0-3 and loses to the Mavericks in the seventh game.

After the press conference, Su Yang returned to the locker room, and the king generals were waiting for him to speak as agreed.

"To be honest, our hopes for advance to the Western Conference Finals are already very slim, and I have thought of giving up. I have many reasons to give up, injuries and opponents' lineup, but as long as there are theoretical possibilities, it's far from over.

He was sure that he lost 28 points in this game, but we made progress. Curry returned to the game in a good state, and we made fewer mistakes than before. We also let the Spurs come up with the strongest offensive routine in order to be safe. No matter what, we can try again.
Chapter completed!
