0675 Uncrowned King in advance

After the press conference, Su Yang led the team back to the hotel. He woke up at noon the next day and saw a lot of discussion.

Stephen Smith said in the "first    take" program: "God! I predicted that the Kings would win the game before the Western Conference Finals series started, but I didn't expect them to win three games in such a brutal way. If Su Yang had not made a mistake in the rotation in the second half and Curry had scored 11 points in a row and made multiple attempts, I would have reported to FBI that the Kings' team was an alien."

Pippen tweeted: "Facts have proved that I really overestimate the Rockets' strength. The main reason is that I didn't expect James Harden to perform so poorly. He doesn't seem to care about the outcome of the game at all. He always has to wait until there is no way out before choosing to shoot mid-range shots. That is definitely not the strategy that a team boss should adopt, let alone his performance on the defensive end is like a disaster movie."

Bill Simmons said on the podcast: "Strictly speaking, although the Rockets lost three games in a row, they have enough potential to beat the Kings. They still have some shortcomings in personnel rotation. Players like Ryan Anderson cannot make it in the series. Morey gave Anderson such a high salary was a mistake, and they could only seek veteran players in the summer."

Kobe tweeted: "In this round of series, our "detail" program team has a record of card follow-up. Soon you will see how the Kings prepare for the game and how to adjust during the pause. I promise you that Su Yang and the coaching team he led will let you re-understand the influence of the coach on the game and let you understand why the Rockets are so difficult."

All the discussions were either sighing that the King was too strong or the Rockets were too difficult, and Harden was even criticized by tens of thousands of people for being criticized for being soft-skinned.

Paul's reputation has become worse and worse. Fans mocked him for his strong ball control organization, but every time the team needs him to break out and score, he is always unable to stand up. In the last moment of the third game, if Paul performs a little better, the Rockets can win.

Seeing those comments, Su Yang felt a little unfair for Harden and Paul. The Kings lineup was much better than the Rockets. The Rockets could rotate with 7 players. When they were 0-12 in the beginning and Curry scored 11 points in a row in the third quarter, they forced their game to the last moment. However, ordinary fans would not think about those, and they would only be unhappy that the Rockets could not let them witness the Kings lose.

Before the series starts, it is a big hit, but after losing a series, it is like a bad shoe, perfectly reflecting the characteristics of radical fans.

Few fans accuse Morey of this, probably because although magic ball is advocated, Harden always decides how to play.

No training was held in the afternoon.

Su Yang took Antetokounmpo and others to visit the aquarium in downtown Houston, took photos with animals such as sharks as souvenirs, and went to the open-air theater to watch the concert, and then returned to the hotel. The whole team happily joined the bbq and watched the Cavaliers fight the Raptors.

There is no suspense in the game between the two teams.

O'Neal, who was broadcasting the live commentary game, also played the joke: Ask the Raptors and the Cavaliers to compete for the second place, and Barkley said bluntly: Unless there are no wars or conflicts in the world in the next year and the world is completely peaceful, the Cavaliers can only win the runner-up.

The king and the generals laughed.

Su Yang instead reminded the whole team not to be too proud. He hasn't defeated the Rockets yet. Of course, what he thought was that he would definitely advance to the finals.

One night off, the 22nd game day.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Kings team gathered to hold a video conference to watch and study the third game of two points lost. The first time was after leading 12-0 in the first quarter. Harden managed to withstand the situation continuously, and the second time was when the team made a frantically in the middle and middle period of the fourth quarter.

"Rhythm, we let the Rockets enter a comfortable rhythm at that time. The main reason is that Harden's singles are very strong, and we will not improve this point. Our primary principle is that we cannot let Harden pass the ball comfortably. In the fourth quarter, the whole team's crazy blacksmith was a large part of the reason for the lack of patience. That was caused by me. I want to kill the Rockets in one wave..."

Su Yang took the initiative to review that if he hadn't wanted to kill the Rockets, he wouldn't have arranged for Curry to play for 16 minutes in a row.

In fact, Curry no longer had a hot touch at that time, and he was really a bit superstitious and dependent on Curry's ability, so he really shouldn't have.

The coaching staff, Cousins ​​and others also put forward their own ideas one after another. The whole team agreed that it should give Cousins ​​more goals. Although this would reduce the Kings' overall offensive speed and fluency, it would be more lethal to the Rockets, and the fourth bloody battle was very suitable.

At 8 o'clock in the afternoon, the Kings and Rockets' fourth game in the Western Conference Finals continued to kick off at the Houston Toyota Center.

The Rockets did not seem to be affected by the situation of falling behind 0-3, especially Harden, who was very determined after the opening game. After two consecutive mistakes, he was not ruthless in his third breakthrough and passed the ball. He successfully assisted Tucker to hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, which was quite tough.

The Kings first launched an attack around Cousins. However, Capela's defense was super god, allowing Cousins ​​to make only 1 of 6 shots. Su Yang could only adjust his strategy while falling behind. Curry and George slowly stabilized the situation without a big collapse.

After the first quarter, the Kings fell 17 points behind 22 to 39.

Cousins ​​blamed himself in annoyance, and it didn't matter Su Yang comforted him, mainly because the strategy was too obvious, which made Capela's defense very targeted, and it was not ineffective at all. Capela's two fouls and the Rockets assisted in defending Cousins ​​in order to maintain the intensity of the defensiveness, which caused Ariza and Tucker to almost play for 12 minutes, and Harden even played for 12 minutes and was overdrawn.

The second quarter started immediately.

As Su Yang predicted, the Rockets' main players were seriously overdrafted in the first quarter, and they were rotated by seven players. They had to continue playing in the second quarter, and their performance was the same as Curry played for 16 minutes in a row in the third game. The shots behind were either short, biased, or long, and they were crazily hit.

The Kings took the opportunity to hit a 22-5 shock wave, and at the end of the half game, they tied 55-55.

The momentum directly turned to the king's side.

The key is that Ariza also took two fouls.

In the first section, those king black fans who were still happy could not type the words one by one, knowing that the Rockets were in a desperate situation.

Espn compared the data, Harden scored 15 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, and only 10 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound in the second quarter. The score was not much different, but the Rockets' drive was much worse. Except for him, the Rockets' other players scored a total of 6 points in a single quarter.

After getting back from halftime, the third quarter started.

The Rockets' performance has recovered slightly due to full rest, but George and Lavine have already entered the state. If they switch defenses a little slower, they will lose points. It is useless to defend Curry with all their strength, so they can only go into the fourth quarter with 7 points behind, and their momentum has plummeted.

As the Kings began the fourth quarter 10-2, the Rockets completely collapsed and did not score in five minutes.

Paul then scored 8 points in a row, but it was too late. LaVine followed suit and Harden three three-pointers in a row.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets only scored 17 points, the Kings won 115-94, and swept the score four to zero to advance.

After attending a press conference after the game, Su Yang checked the statistics and found that George quietly averaged 29.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, while Curry averaged 25.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. It can be said that it is difficult to tell the difference, and it is a true two-player.

Espn reporter asked who he wanted to play in the finals. The audience laughed when they heard this, and Su Yang deliberately said that he had to see the results again.

Everyone knows that the Cavaliers advance to the finals is 100%, and some fans announced in advance that LeBron is the uncrowned king.

The whole team flew back to Sa City overnight. As soon as Su Yang got off, he received a text message from Sam Sinki, saying that there was something wrong with the news that George's agent was contacting the Lakers and other teams in private, with the purpose of taking the initiative.
