After the third game between the Kings and the Spurs, there were discussions related to social media such as Twitter. In just ten minutes, 50,000 pieces of content appeared. The hot topics "Giannis three-pointer", "Kings three-to-zero Spurs", and "Leonard suspected of being injured" appeared one after another.

Many ordinary fans, current players such as LeBron and Lillard, retired celebrities such as Pippen and McGrady, well-known commentators such as Buck and Stephen A, and major media such as ESPN and TNT all expressed the same theme: super super shock!

Pre-match predictions were made in various 55 points, and in the end, the Kings led by 3-0, and the surprise was no less than that of Germany and Brazil 7-1.

The three-pointer of Antetokounmpo is too dramatic and even more outrageous than making a movie: at the last moment, there was no timeout, the fast break pass was blocked, he flew to save the ball, caught his teammate's half-blame pass, and made a perfect kill with a 30% shooting percentage.

Beckham tweeted: "The only suspense now is whether the king will be like Germany's way..."

Durant forwarded Beckham's tweet: "Tell me the truth, I admire Coach Su Yang's coaching ability since the 2008 Rookie Challenge. Now eleven years have passed, and my admiration for him has become more and more pious. In the two years of winning the championship, I also had the idea of ​​whether I was too horrible. It was completely gone in the third year, because until tonight, I could 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 my first game in the United States from Cameroon. Coach Su Yang and the Kings helped me improve again!"

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

After the press conference, he led the team back to the hotel and pulled the assistants to watch the game and quickly replayed it. He found that when Antetokounmpo made a final three-pointer, he almost stepped on the sideline. Fortunately, he did not move again after entering the court.

Looking at the game, the Kings' shooting percentage was only 37.3%, and the three-pointers were extremely miserable and only 14 of 45 shots. And so many three-pointers were partly due to the fact that the Spurs were unable to enter the inside, and the formulation of a rushing strategy before the game was not achieved.

The King also exploded in the fouls, with a total of 30 times on the whole game, and the final three-pointer was the final winner, instantly establishing the victory of the series.

"Leonard should be really injured..."

Su Yang repeatedly watched the Spurs' offensive highlights in the second half. Leonard only made 9 shots in total, without any assists, that is, he did not take the initiative to take the ball to launch an attack, and there were also 5 rare mistakes. In the end, he failed to catch up with Antetokounmpo in pain, which is basically proof.

"What a pity!"

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

Assistant coaches Jenkins and West nodded silently. The status of core players like Leonard will affect the operation of the entire team.

At noon the next day, the Spurs officially announced that Leonard had only a slight contusion and would not affect his fourth game.

Regarding the official announcement of the Spurs, the mainstream views all believe that Leonard is forcibly allowing him to play, which is nothing more than trying not to be swept, but that cannot solve the problem. The Spurs still find ways to solve the core shortcomings of the weak substitute lineup. Otherwise, they will not dare to relax the rotation when facing the Kings in the future, and continue to use the main game of the dead grass. Whether Leonard or Paul, the risk of injury will increase greatly.

Seeing the news, Su Yang didn't care and arranged training as usual. He watched the game between the Kai team and the Raptors in the evening. The Kai team still beat the Raptors and took a 3-0 lead, and the probability of advancing to the finals increased to 99%. Smart had already called on the Kings in the interview.

Smart's behavior was ridiculed by many fans. Many fans believed that if LeBron had not been injured and caused internal strife in the Cavaliers, the Raptors would not have been able to reverse the Cavaliers. If Green Kai faced the Cavaliers, he would definitely lose, but he would not have been as easy as he is now.

The next day on the 19th, the Kings and the Spurs' fourth playoff finals continued to start at the San Antonio Att Center.

Leonard did continue to play, but he was obviously out of shape. He only made 1 of 4 offensive shots, and Antetokounmpo's style of switching defense could not stand it at all. Antetokounmpo took the opportunity to score 5 of 8 in the first quarter, making Paul's 4 of 5 shots also useless.

The Kings led 32-31 to enter the second quarter. Perhaps because Leonard was injured, Popovich did not let Leonard appear early, but Leonard did not even have a serious substitute. Second-round rookie Metu and veteran Quincy were beaten by the Kings.

With a 9-0 offensive, the Kings led 65-55 at the end of the half, Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, while Leonard, who faced him, only made one move in the second quarter, only 1 of 5 shots in the half, and 1 assist and 1 turnover.

The injury significantly affected Leonard.

During the break, many fans tweeted and sighed: "Why is the King so strong and so lucky, he actually encountered the situation of his opponent's core injury in the most difficult series..." It completely ignored that the King had also encountered core injuries.

Some fans also pointed out: "Popovich wants to beat the Kings too much. This season, he always lets Leonard play for a long time. He will be injured sooner or later. After all, Leonard has been injured by Winslow and his physical strength is not good."

In the locker room, Su Yang reminded the whole team: "Don't be too excited, it's just a very leading. We once made a 9-point reversal in the last moment of the first game, not to mention that the Spurs have the entire second half, how should we play and how should we play..."

After the words came to an end, Curry and others nodded.

After all, the Spurs have a strong historical tradition. You must not be careless at such moments, and don’t let the Spurs breathe.

The third quarter started, and both teams fought hard, especially on the defensive end. The Kings let Paul make 2 of 6 shots, while the Spurs let Curry make 1 of 6 shots, and finally tied to the fourth quarter. The game was extremely favorable to the Kings.

Unexpectedly, the Kings encountered foul troubles in the fourth quarter. Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo took 5 fouls in eight minutes, and Brogdon also took 2 fouls, which allowed the Spurs to play a 16-7 attack wave and only led by 1 point in the last ten seconds.

Su Yang asked to suspend the tactics. After serving successfully, the Spurs chose to make a foul, and Curry made both free throws steadily. When the Spurs attacked again, Su Yang instructed to start the penalty shootout and did not give 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. At the moment the whistle sounded in the final game, Popovich stood up and left the seat, rarely not greeting his opponents as usual for many years, and Su Yang did not force it.

The lead of just two points made many fans feel sorry for the Spurs. They believe that if Leonard had not been injured in the first half of the third game, the Spurs could win at least two games. It can only be said that the Spurs were too lucky, and it must be said that the Kings were strong enough to seize the opportunity.

After the game, he attended a press conference and talked about whether the team's series result was unexpectedly in an accident. Su Yang said: "Before the series started, I told the whole team that we met the Spurs and any result was possible. We had imagined a situation where the Spurs were leading 3-0. I would like to pay tribute to Leonard, CP3, and coach Popovich. We are even more lucky this time."

After the press conference, the Kings team flew back to Sa City overnight. Su Yang announced three days of holiday and asked the team to relax.

In the blink of an eye, No. 23, Green Kai defeated the Raptors 4-1 and officially advanced to the finals to compete with the Kings for the championship.

Green Kai officially tweeted to celebrate, and also released a video of ESPN interviewing Green Kai's boss Grosbeck. The reporter asked how sure he was to defeat the King. Grosbeck replied that he was 10% because this was the best Celtic after the era of the Big Three.

When Su Yang saw the video, he sent a message to Curry: "You performed quite well in the last round of the series. This time against Boston, we have very professional experience. Are you ready to break Rick? Barry's average score record in the finals?"

With Green Kai's defense in the backcourt, Curry is very likely to kill madly.
Chapter completed!
