After returning from the timeout, the king changed to the starting lineup, and under the leadership of Zhang Feng, he went straight to 8-0.

The Thunder had no choice, even if Wei Shao desperately carried Zhang Feng to the inside, even if George used his best strength to single Justin, and even if Anthony adjusted his state to the best to defend Lefou, the ending still could not be changed.

The Kings defeated the Thunder 115-102 to claim their first win in the Western Conference semifinals.

On the second day of the game between the Kings and the Thunder, the game between the Rockets and the Warriors also officially started, and unlike the expected big game, Curry was limited by a medial ligament injury in his left leg and did not play as well as he should, and Durant, who returned from injury, performed very averagely. The Rockets only played 3 quarters to lead by as many as 24 points and win the game without any suspense.

In the East, the 76ers, led by Embiid, struggled to defeat the Pacers 4-3. In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, facing the Raptors, they completed the full-court suppression as if they suddenly opened up, and won the first game unexpectedly.

In addition to the 76ers and Raptors, the other group of Eastern Conference semifinals is the Celtics and Cavaliers, and Irving, who underwent minimally invasive knee surgery, returned in the final game of the first round. He was in surprisingly good shape, scoring 35 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in his first game against the Cavaliers and leading the team to win the game.

In the ensuing game, the Kings defeated the Thunder again to hold on to their home court and take a 2-0 series lead. After that, the game between the two teams moved to Oklamar City.

But the home-court advantage did not make the Thunder better, and the result of the game, and even the course of the game, were as predicted by the O'Neal trio, and the Thunder used efficient scoring tactics after each timeout, and the Kings would be cracked in less than two rounds.

However, whether it is the professional media or the public fans, they all know that David is not a famous coach, only some simple tactics and good at player management, but Donovan is also more annoyed and can't even do a good job in player management.

So many times, the tactics of the two teams are basically Zhang Feng and Wei Shao in command, but sometimes Wei Shao wants to organize some on-the-spot tactics, and six out of ten times are destroyed by Zhang Feng's prediction in advance, coupled with the low shooting rate of the Thunder, only 12 out of 10 can succeed in the end.

The most critical thing is that the Thunder's survival of the Big Three with the ball alone this season can play a very small role in the Kings' regional defense system, and due to the influence of physical strength, their offense becomes more and more rigid towards the end of the game, and they are completely unable to pose any threat to the Kings.

Just when everyone thought the Kings would win the series 4-0, the Thunder did a miracle in Game 4, as Barkley said, the Big Three shot 60% from the field, and in that situation, despite the Kings' all-out defense and every detail in place, they still lost the game by a narrow margin, and the Thunder avoided the fate of being shaved head.

However, everyone knows that it was just a return to the Thunder, and after the two teams answered Sacramento again, the Thunder, who had no magical touch, was beaten 106-84 by the Kings and bid farewell to the playoff stage.

The moment he won the game, the whole city of Sa fell into a carnival, and the photos of the whole team of the kings, especially Zhang Feng, instantly appeared on various landmark buildings in Sa City.

Some of these photos are composite lights, some are physical photos, but either way, they are the support of the people of Saskatsu for the Kings, and they once again feel the glory of basketball.

After a 16-year hiatus, the Sacramento Kings are back in the Western Conference Finals, and they deserve any praise.

The next morning, the whole team of Kings still arrived at the new training base on time, and the whole team did not train, but there was one thing to do, and that was to study the footage of the Rockets.

Because while the Kings won the series, the Rockets also led the Warriors by a score of 3-1.

"I really didn't expect the Warriors to lose like this, they are much weaker than expected, and I am looking forward to beating the defending champions!" Mason looked at his phone and sighed.

"It's not that the Warriors are weak, it's that the Rockets are too strong, judging from the video, they can't guard against Harden at all, so to speak, Harden killed the Warriors alone" Randolph's 'tsk' voice continued.

"You are both wrong, the Warriors are not so weak, and the Rockets are not so strong, but the Warriors have too many injured players and have not played their strength, otherwise the Rockets will not be able to win if Harden keeps scoring. Of course, Harden is really strong, and I watched the second game, and actually beat Thompson five times in a row, forcing Kerr to use a bag," Carter interjected.

"You've learned Harden's deception and foul skills before, and this time you meet the main owner, it won't be useless, right?" Randolph asked Zhang Feng.

"One is a point guard, the other is a point guard, it's basically not right, it's useless to talk about anything" Carter shook his head.

"No, in this series, I'll be the main defense against Harden," Zhang Feng's tone was categorical.

After saying this, he recalled that when he first participated in the Drew League, he met the combination of Harden and Paul, and he took the initiative to tell Nick Young that he wanted to defend Harden, which made Nick Young think that he was afraid of playing against Paul.

In that game, Zhang Feng had just gotten out of the rookie pecking each other in the summer league finals, and faced the real NBA supergiant for the first time, and he still remembered the pressure and excitement vividly.

"The coach thinks the same way, no one of us can defend Harden alone except you" David nodded, and then said: "If the West plays the Rockets, we will no longer use the zone defense strategy."

"What tactics are you using?" Mason scrambled to talk.

"The great thing about the Rockets is that they are all soldiers, although the rotation is often only 7/8 players, everyone can play, even Ryan Anderson on the bench has a three-point hand, and Gerald Green is also good at breaking through"

"But their seven/eight-man rotation is also a very big drawback. Therefore, in terms of defense, except for Zhang Feng, everyone else has to play infinite defense. Every time we attack and defend, we can play close to each other, try to consume their physical energy as much as possible, and every game, try to play to the last moment, and the more we play back, the greater our physical advantage."

"So that's why we trained with sandbags before?" Mason asked suddenly.

"From the moment I got into the playoffs, I had a goal of winning the championship. To be honest, I've never thought of it that way before, when I coach the Grizzlies, it's all about playing one game at a time, but this year our coaching staff was ready early on with everything we needed for a four-round series, from opponent analysis to tactical simulation. Now we've won two rounds, and if we win two more rounds, we can win the championship, so I hope you can do the good work."

After David said these words with an expression, Zhang Feng summoned all the king's people to form a circle.

There are no shouts, no slogans, just silently putting their hands together and promising to do their best for the upcoming Western Conference Finals.
