In this game, the Kings can be said to have tried their best, and Tyrek can also be said to have played at a normal level, shooting 9 of 20 in the whole game, and the shooting rate was close to 50%, and the performance of 27 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists was not amazing, but it was definitely not bad. Cousins got 20 points and 12 boards, played 20+10 data in two consecutive games, and everyone else played well, it can be said that the biggest factor in losing this game is the gap in hard power between the two teams......

The two groups of semifinals in the West met each other, one group has been decided, and the other group of Chinese Kings is also standing on the edge of the cliff, it can be said that both groups of battles have shown a one-sided trend, on the other hand, the East is very different, the Celtics who led 2-1 continue to face the 76ers on the road, they played a beautiful start of 24-12 in the first quarter, just when people thought they could win the match point smoothly, the 76ers played a stunning counterattack in the second half. The 76ers scored 24 more points than the Celtics in the second half, and the 76ers led their opponents in rebounding by a wide margin throughout the game, and finally achieved a comeback at home The 76ers achieved a comeback, beating the Celtics 92-83, losing four games, and the two teams tied 2-2.

In the last game, the Heat team, which performed poorly and finally fell short, faced the Pacers who beat them in a row, this game was not soft, James went down to earth, and slashed 40 points, 18 rebounds and 9 assists in the super quasi-triple-double, completely dominating both offensive and defensive ends, showing the super strength that MVP should have, and at the same time, another superstar Wade also fully recovered, handing over a report card of 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, in the case of the two superstars cutting 70 points, even though the Pacers played well, Still swallowed a loss at home 93-101, the championship favorites Heat pulled the score back to the same running line, and the next game will return to Miami to continue.

With the next game set to begin in two days after the two games in Sacramento, the Kings flew to Oklahoma without stopping for a moment, as they prepared for a do-or-die battle.

With a day to go before the game in Oklahoma, the Kings team threw themselves into the training hall to prepare for the game, and after the regular acclimatization, tactical drills and group confrontations, Coach Westfair did not let the players leave, but sat on the sidelines and beckoned the players to sit next to him.

When everyone sat down in turn, Coach Westfaal's gaze swept softly over his disciples, and said with a slow smile: "Most of you are participating in the playoffs for the first time, how about it, the playoffs are not easy......

No one answered, but everyone nodded silently.

"Hmm...... While we didn't face the Grizzlies in the first round, we were clearly on the underdog side of the Thunder now...... But we've done pretty well, the Thunder team is making the playoffs for the third year in a row, and this season they're a worthy championship contender, and they have more experience than we do, and the roster is better, which we can't deny. Third in the West during the regular season, reaching the playoffs, and advancing to the Western Conference semifinals has greatly exceeded all expectations, and this season has been successful enough for the team, and you are credited with this achievement! It's been a long time since I've felt the atmosphere of a playoff game, and this trip to the playoffs has reminded me of my old coaching years......"

Coach Westphale became more and more excited, and he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Now that we are 1-3 down, we will lose one more game and this season will be over, but even if it is the end of it, we have reason to be proud, and we will continue to move forward next season!" So...... Don't have any worries about tomorrow's game, there is no way back, let go of playing, how comfortable and how to play, play our own style, even if you lose, you have to leave with your head held high! In the next game, we fought !! ”

Last season we lost to last season's champion Mavericks by a total score of 1-4 in the Western Conference Finals, and this season we swept the Mavericks in the first round. The Western Conference Finals and the Finals are not our goal, only the final championship is! ”

As the two on-site commentators Davis and Lang said, the Thunder are aiming for a championship this season, and the Kings have never been regarded as a real opponent by the Thunder, at best, they are just a stumbling block on their way to the championship......

The game is about to start, Tyrek stands on the side of the court and looks around the stands, surrounded by a sea of blue, the Thunder fans are in high spirits but talking and laughing, they are convinced that the team will win this game tonight, and in the eyes of Thunder fans, the Kings are also a huge gap compared to the teams they support......
