The Thunder lost three games in a row and almost stood on the edge of a cliff with one foot. With-Dream- . lā

The pre-game rhetoric has also become a weak fake big empty.

For young cities, failure is not unacceptable, and it is the most painful thing to find a direction after failure.

The Thunder players' eyes were full of confusion, and when the final whistle blew, a sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.

"They are so experienced, and the pace of the game is completely in their hands."

The defeat at the last moment seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

The Silent Thunder represents the entire Silent Ford Center, and fans throughout Oklahoma know that the Thunder's schedule for the season will come to an end here.

The Kings players were smiling as they celebrated, the younger players were excited, and the older ones were equally excited.

I've been able to make it to the second round before, but I've never felt like that.

There is confrontation in the process, and the ending is not surprising.

Wang Mingming got up from the bench, turned around first, and walked back to the players' tunnel.

It's not the end of the series yet, and it's not time to say hello to the Thunder players and coaches.

Even before the playoffs began, several organizations set up campaigns to predict the ownership of the championship this season.

TNT invited 11 expert commentators to make predictions.

In the end, only Charles Barkley predicted that the Kings would be able to win the championship this season.

Now that the Kings are in great shape with a 3-0 lead over the Thunder, Barkley is more adamant about his predictions.

"Yes, the Kings are really young, but their coach is young. Wang Mingming's ability to adapt on the spot and command tactics and dispatch tactics can be said to be the strongest in the league, and the Kings can now easily switch between several tactics freely, especially Jason Kidd and Wang Tomorrow have combined to create such a watertight Kings team. ”

"I think this season's championship is the Kings."

In the first round, many people were optimistic that the Kings would advance, but they didn't expect the Kings to win three games in a row.

At present, in the entire league, only the Cavaliers and Magic in the East have an absolute advantage in the first round like the Kings, and even the Lakers are currently fighting 2-1 with the Mavericks, and the Mavericks are pulling one back at home.

The Thunder's slogan of fighting for honor was heartfelt, but Game 3 was already the best of their series.

In the G4 game, the Thunder team started well, but at the beginning of the second quarter, various problems appeared.

Westbrook + Durant combined for 14 turnovers, and the entire Thunder team had 19 turnovers in the game, while the Kings had only 10 turnovers as a team.

The Kings made fewer mistakes, seized the opportunity to storm and dominated the second quarter to lead all the way.

On April 24, the Thunder King fought the 4th battle.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Thunder 105-94 away to win the series.

In the first round, the Kings, who were the bottom of the league last year, swept the Young Guards and taught the young people their first lesson in the playoffs.

Durant was uncomfortable, and as soon as the game was over, he went back to the players' tunnel.

The Kings players were excited, but it was in the Ford Center, the opponent's home stadium, so they restrained a bit, just hugged each other, cheered and celebrated, and then left the court as well.

Wang Tomorrow led the uniform team away.

He then took Kidd to the post-game press conference with Chris Bosh, the locker room leader and Bosh the team's star player, to the post-match press conference.

When Wang left the stadium tomorrow, a tall and thin boy was waiting for him at the entrance of the stadium.

"Kevin?"

Wang Ming glanced at Durant suspiciously.

Kidd and Bosh showed a hint of vigilance in their eyes, standing on both sides of Wang Mingming, Durant glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Wang Mingming again with a calm expression.

Wang Ming pondered, "Jason, Chris, you guys go first, Kevin may have something to say to me." ”

"Coach," Bosh couldn't help but say.

Kidd nodded, obeyed Wang's arrangement tomorrow, and pulled Bosh to leave first.

When the two walked away, Wang Ming turned around and glanced at Durant, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Okay Kevin, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Coach, I don't understand, why we worked hard for a season, and the lineup is good, but we can't win even one game against the Kings, am I playing too badly?"

As soon as Durant spoke, Wang knew tomorrow that he was in a bull's horn.

Wang Mingming thought for a while, then patted him on the shoulder, the two sat on the public seat at the entrance of the arena, Wang Mingming said earnestly, "Kevin, everyone has worked so hard, the NBA is a cruel professional competition league, in this league, competition is always the first." ”

"You've played well enough, I see your progress, you're better and more confident than you were last year."

Durant said depressedly, "But I always make some mistakes at the last moment, and these mistakes, some of which are very fatal, directly bury the game." ”

"This is our defensive strategy for you," Wang paused, and then said, "Actually, a great player, not to say how many points can be cut, or how many assists to deliver, the person who can really play must be someone who has learned to read the game, understand the game, and be able to make the most advantageous choices on the court." ”

Durant thoughtfully said, "Are you saying I need to play more reasonably?" ”

"What I say is advantageous and reasonable are two different things. Reasonable is reasonable, advantageous is advantageous, sometimes, it is too reasonable, but it is not beneficial to the team, so you have to learn to read the game, sometimes, the opponent does not have a bag, you should also pass the ball, sometimes, the opponent is covered, but you should also face the difficulties, dare to shoot, the balance of this, you need to master yourself. ”

Durant was even more confused, but he always felt that what Wang Ming said was very reasonable.

"In short, you need to be aware of yourself and believe that you are the best player, that the performance on the pitch is only temporary, that someone can beat you on the pitch, but you can never beat you who is strong at heart." Wang Ming patted Durant on the shoulder and said in a low voice.

"Coach" Durant was deeply shocked, and the tip of the horns was unconsciously untied by Wang Mingming.

I don't know why, he just thinks that Wang Mingming is a confidant coach, a coach he is willing to talk to, maybe because in the summer, Wang Mingming refused the Thunder's invitation to coach, maybe because of this round of the series, Wang Mingming led the Kings team to train them fiercely.

After Wang Ming finished speaking, he nodded emphatically.

He then shook hands with Durant and hugged him.

The Eastern and Western playoffs have entered a more scorching phase, with multiple teams tied 2-2.

At this time, the king's sweep to advance is very prominent.

The media wrote a lot about the Kings' easy promotion, and some team players said that the Kings were lucky to meet the Thunder, who entered the playoffs for the first time.

That's right, the Thunder's lack of experience is seen as the biggest reason for failure, just like last year's loss to the Rockets' Trail Blazers.

But put it that way, it's as if the Kings often make the playoffs.

In fact, the Kings have also entered the playoffs for the first time in recent years, but the players who have entered the playoffs for the Kings are experienced, some of them have been playing for many years, and some have even experienced the baptism of the Finals.

It's easy to forget that they're also a new team, just like when the Celtics put together the Big Three, the whole league changed color and put them in an unequal position early.

Wang Mingming thinks that this is good, and it is easy to let the opponent in the next round despise the king.

It is more in line with his idea of fighting for hegemony.

The next round of opponents for the Kings will be between the Rockets and the Spurs, and at present, the Rockets drew 2-2 with the Spurs, and the two sides will play the fifth game at the Rocket Toyota Center.

"The Rockets may have a slight advantage." Wang Tomorrow analyzed the two teams at the team coaching staff meeting, and Wang Tomorrow believes that the Rockets have a higher probability of winning.

At the same time, the major awards in the league have surfaced one by one as the playoffs go deeper.

The first to be announced is the best rookie.

Tyrek Evans was named Rookie of the Year with 202 points, 53 rebounds and 58 assists, and was hailed as the "New Dragon."

What an impressive result is "20+5+5"? Historically, only "Big O" Robertson, "Flyer" Jordan and "Emperor" James have been able to average this data per game in their rookie season, and the three superstars have all become the "best rookies" of the season without exception.

Some people believe that James was able to beat Carmelo Anthony in the 2003-04 season with the same personal data as himself, and led the team to the playoffs (the Cavaliers did not make the playoffs), precisely because he reached this "impossible mission" of the first level of difficulty. Even, the sponsor Nike immediately designed a sneaker specifically for James, called "20-5-5".

It's no wonder that all of Toronto has forgotten that a year ago, they were shouting over another long-haired No. 4 show.

Although the Kings have a good record, with Tyrek Evans playing explosive numbers, many people still believe that the Kings lost out on that offseason trade.

"In the long run, you're giving up on James or Jordan and you're going to choose Chris Bosh and DeMar DeRozan, the former maybe a historical figure and the latter just a star."

Wang Tomorrow has even received some accusations.

Evans admits that the closer he gets to the Big Three, the more nervous he feels: "I feel like I have a wake-up call in my head...... I'm always told how many rebounds I have to make sure I have and how many points I have to score. Many of his friends had been well-intentioned reminders, including timely reporting to Evans on Corey's performance, which distracted him a little.

Just like against the Knicks, he scored 22 points in the first half, but it took a quarter and a half to get the "final" 2 points by making free throws. Only then can you remember that this old-looking, steady Raptors' main "point guard" is just a rookie.

After the Rookie of the Year was announced, the league announced the Sixth Man of the Year and the Most Improved Player in turn.

The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Crawford of the Hawks, who averaged 180 points per game and ranked 30th in the league and was the Eagles' second-leading scorer.

Crawford's stability is inferior to even most of the league's main players. This season, he has scored less than double figures in just seven games and has reached double figures in 24 consecutive games. Hawks head coach Woodson said of his disciples: "Crawford can score in all sorts of different ways, you just have to tell him, 'relax, score, get the highest score of any bench player in the league, and win the best sixth man.'" ”

The most improved player was taken by George Hill.

George Hill entered his second season in the league, and this season, when Parker was injured, he successfully played the role of the Spurs' main point guard, with a solid style of play and an integrated offense and defense.

He averaged 124 points per game while shooting 478 percent from the field and 399 percent from three-point range.

In his rookie season, George Hill scored only 57 points, which can be described as a remarkable improvement.

After the Most Improved Player was announced, the league announced the Best Coach winner.

In the selection, there are three coaches competing, one is Scott Sculles of the Bucks, the second is Adelman of the Rockets, and the third is Wang Mingming.

All three teams have improved a lot from last season, with the Bucks and Kings both transitioning from fish belly to playoff teams.

In the end, Wang Ming defeated a competitor and lifted the trophy of best coach for the second time in his career.

Last season, the Kings were 17-65 and ranked first in the league, and this season, the Kings are 58-24 and fourth in the league.

This is his fourth season in charge of four seasons in his career, and he has won the title of best coach twice.

No one else in the league is better than anyone else, and there is no second in history.

The name of the young marshal shocked the entire alliance.

"Although he is young, he has strong means, especially in terms of tactical concepts, he is very advanced, and he is definitely at the top level of the NBA."

Greg Vicky was full of praise for Wang Mingming, and after the game with the Rockets, he thought that Wang Mingming was good enough to win the honor.

"A coach who can lead the team to 41 more wins, no one can compete with him, not even close." Heat general manager Pat Riley also jumped out and sang the praises of Wang Mingming, "I think Coach Wang Mingming is the best piece of the puzzle for the championship team." ”

Pat Riley's appreciation of Wang Mingming's story is not the first day in the NBA, at this time, it is the playoffs of the Heat vs. Hawks, the Heat are 1-3 behind, many people believe that this is a signal that Pat Riley is dissatisfied with Spoelstra, and the Filipino's position as coach is in jeopardy.

The impact of Wang Mingming's winning the best coach again is that Wang Mingming is now the title of NBA's No. 1 head coach in the league.

The NBA has always been known as "the first man in the league," and it has been since the Michael Jordan era.

However, the coaching profession has never had a similar meaning, an important reason is because many people think that the key to the game is to see the player's performance, the coach is just an assistant, and the level between coaches, how far is the real difference, many people think that it is not too clear.

Just like coaching Michael Jordan and LeBron James, how much can a coach play.

But now it's different, it seems that there really is a coach who has a huge influence on the field, who controls the development of the team and leads the development of the team with full authority.

It seems that it is not wrong to call it "the strongest".
