920 Kings vs. Nets, tiebreaker of life and death
When the Kings led the Nets 3:1, the whole world felt that the Kings' championship was secure.
Many well-known stars have predicted the final score between the two sides.
Even the famous Yihe Stephen A. Smith didn't think the Nets could make a comeback.
In his own show, he predicted that the final score between the two sides would be 4 to 2, with the Kings winning the championship.
80% of people also predicted 4:2.
The other 20% predicted 4:1.
There was a sense of complacency in the Kings team from top to bottom at this time.
When owner Ranadive came to the training facility to visit the players, he addressed these players as two-time champions;
General manager Divac also said in an interview that the Kings will definitely win the game 4:2 this time.
The three assistant coaches and head coach D'Antoni on the coaching staff were also very relaxed during training and did not seem to be under much pressure.
As for the players, every one of them was very excited.
When Hilde was joking with Mitchell, he stretched out his two hands: "Do you think this second ring should be the same as the previous one? Should I wear it on my left hand, or should I wear it on my right hand, one on each hand?"
?”
Mitchell chuckled and said, "I think it's better for you to wear both of them on your feet."
Wang Yi saw this, but did not stop them.
Because when this kind of pride and complacency arises, it is impossible to suppress it with just a few words.
The only way is to let them taste failure.
Only in this way will they wake up.
Of course, this does not mean that Wang Yi will not fight.
In Game 5, he tried his best to score a quadruple-double of 43 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 steals.
But firstly, my teammates played average today, and secondly, on the Nets side, Durant and Irving broke out today.
Durant scored 41 points and Irving 30 points.
The two scored 71 points alone.
In the end, the Kings lost the game.
The big score came to 3 to 2.
Until this moment, the teammates still couldn't wake up.
They still think their championship is guaranteed this time.
However, Game 6 gave them a wake-up call.
In Game 6, Wang Yi’s personal field was still cooling down.
But he still scored a triple-double of 52 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists, and also got 5 blocks and 4 steals.
Why is he so strong?
Firstly, it is because the individual is indeed strong;
The second reason is because the Nets have always adopted a one-defense-one strategy against him.
Unless in a few important rounds, he will basically not be double-teamed.
However, on the Nets side, the Big Three all showed their strength in this game.
Durant had 37 points and 13 rebounds;
Irving had 32 points and 9 assists;
Harden had a triple-double with 30 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
The Big Three scored a combined 99 points.
In this case, even though their substitutes were a little tighter, they still beat the Kings by 4 points, 119:115.
The big score battle between the two sides ended in a 3:3 tie.
At the moment the final whistle blew, Durant looked up to the sky and roared.
That charming contractor aura disappeared, replaced by a lion-like domineering attitude.
After falling behind 3:1, no one was optimistic about them.
How is it now?
They still caught up to a 3:3 tie.
Death is immortal!
At this time, the direction of the football commentators and media had collectively changed.
Stephen A. Smith: "Although the previous prediction was slapped in the face, I still have to shamelessly continue to predict. In the last game, the Kings are finished. There are three reasons."
"First, the Nets are chasing two games in a row and their momentum is strong. On the other hand, the Kings have lost two games in a row and their momentum has hit rock bottom;"
"Second, the Big Three of the Nets are working together more and more tacitly. But in the past few games of the Kings, only Wang Yi has been struggling to support him. No matter how good he is, he can't beat the Big Three;"
"Third, James once completely cleared his name by coming back from a 1:3 deficit in the Finals. Durant is also eager for such an opportunity. Now that such an opportunity has come, this may be the best opportunity for him to clear his name in his career.
.”
“If he can lead the Nets to come back from a 1:3 deficit, then the things he has done before will be forgiven and forgotten by people, and people will only praise his heroic deeds of a comeback from a 1:3 deficit.
Just like LeBron back then."
Pippen also tweeted: "In the last game, I am optimistic about the Nets."
Sports Weekly also gave a prediction: "The Nets will win the championship 4:3."
In an online public opinion poll, 71% of people believed that the Nets would come back and make a comeback.
Only 29% thought the Kings would ultimately win.
According to the odds offered by the bookmaker, the odds of the Kings winning are 5 to 1.
The odds of the Nets winning are 2 to 1.
Obviously, bookmakers are also optimistic about the Nets.
…
Tomorrow night, the finals g7 will start at the Golden No. 1 Center
At this time, in the training hall of Golden 1 Center, Kings players are training on the court.
But all the players looked silent.
It's rare to see them laughing and chatting like they used to.
Obviously, these team members were a little stunned.
From a 3:1 lead to a 3:3 tie now, the situation has undergone a huge reversal.
It's like going from heaven to the gate of hell in an instant.
The Big Three are like three mountains, weighing on each of their hearts.
In the first few games of the finals, the Big Three were not so violent.
At that time, either only one of them broke out, or only two people broke out, and there was absolutely no chance that three people broke out at the same time.
By the fifth game, we could already see signs of the Big Three breaking out at the same time;
But when the Big Three broke out at the same time in the sixth game, they simply couldn't resist it.
I have been training all morning.
When the morning training was coming to an end, Wang Yi packed up his clothes.
Got my backpack.
Turn around and walk towards the outside.
No one spoke.
Looking at Wang Yi's back, they all seemed to feel that Wang Yi was angry.
What was originally a great situation ended up like this because they were too frivolous, too flamboyant, too proud and complacent.
It would be strange if Wang Yi is not angry.
Wang Yi did nothing but train throughout the whole morning. He didn't say a word or smile at all.
Apparently he was extremely angry.
However, just when everyone thought Wang Yi was very angry with these players, Wang Yi suddenly stopped.
He looked back at all the players.
His eyes did not simply scan all the players, but looked at each one for at least two seconds.
Finally, he solemnly said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you can't lose."
Then he turned around and walked out of the door with Nicole.
All the team members were stunned.
Everyone watched as Wang Yi disappeared from the gate.
Everyone has at least two complex expressions on their faces.
There is guilt, uneasiness, emotion, gratitude and determination.
They lost the game because of their complacency.
The boss didn't blame them a word.
Instead, he said this: Don’t worry, you can’t lose with me.
Obviously, the boss is giving them reassurance...
At this time, they were like a child who accidentally broke a vase and thought he was going to be beaten. Instead of beating him, his parents instead gave him gentle comfort.
They were both ashamed and grateful.
