Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 206

With the end of the second game of the East and West semifinals, the East and West presented a completely different pattern.

The East once again presented two bloody defensive battles for the fans. After the 76ers who crossed the Bulls lost one game at the Celtics' home court with a 1-point disadvantage, the second game continued at Boston TD North Shore Garden In the arena, the two teams played inextricably as in the previous game. The pace of the game was very slow under the fierce defense. In the last 2 minutes, with Zhu Holiday's three-pointer, the 76ers overtook Kyle The Celtics scored 2 points, and then the Celtics hit the iron again and again, while the 76ers opened the score with a few free throws. Ray Allen's three-pointer in the last 3 seconds narrowed the gap to 2 points, but after about Dee Meeks made two free throws and the 4-point deficit left the Celtics helpless as Kevin Garnett made a three-pointer at the buzzer and the 76ers were 82-81 on the road The advantage narrowly beat the Celtics and tied the total score to 1-1.

After the Heat lost Chris Bosh in the last game, they completely became a duo of James and Wade, while the Pacers relied on iron-blooded wheel defense to consume James and Wayne. In the last 2 minutes of the game, The Heat didn't score a point, and James was even hit by Paul George's cap and two free throws. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Heat 78-75 and returned to Indianapolis with a score of 1-1.

In another semi-final matchup in the Western Conference, the Spurs, who had lightly defeated their opponents in the first round, continued to play strongly. The Lakers were powerless against the old-fashioned Spurs. Lost to the Spurs by a big score of 88 to 105.

So far, the two groups in the East are tied 1-1, while the top two teams in the West have led 2-0 in the regular season. The next game is very important for the Kings and Lakers. It's not the end, you have to win at home!
The second day after the Kings ended their second game in the Western Conference semifinals with the Thunder, the third match between the two teams will be staged. The Kings lost a total of 43 points in the two games, but there is no time for them to adjust at this moment.

Through the two defeats, we can also see the current shortcomings of the Kings. From the perspective of the lineup, except for Tyreke, the team does not have a reliable scoring point and ball holding point on the outside. As long as Tyreke is on the court, almost all offenses are It was initiated by Tyreke, and all tactics rely on Tyreke to fight.This is very similar to the Bulls. Rose’s tactical position in the Bulls’ offense is just like Tyreke’s. Without Rose, the Bulls’ offense is at least half paralyzed. Without Rose, the Bulls are also ruthlessly blacked out by the 76ers. .However, the Bulls still have at least one All-Star on the perimeter, Luol Deng, and the Kings, apart from Tyreke, Jimmy is a pure defensive engineer, Garcia and Casspi are mediocre wing shooters, and Morrow is a single-function player The three-point shooter at the end of the bench, Udri and the short Thomas Jr., barely played a few minutes in the playoffs. The strongest personal offensive ability on the outside is Caron Butler, who has degraded by more than half from the peak. There is no problem with the configuration to play the regular season, but when facing the defensive strength of the playoffs, especially when facing a championship contender like the Thunder, we cannot always rely on Tyreke to solve the problem. Someone needs to share Tyreke offensive pressure.

At the same time, the Kings also have deficiencies in the interior. Cousins ​​and West's offensive ability is absolutely top-notch, but the defense can only be said to be average. Even under such a high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the defense is a little bit behind.

From a spiritual point of view, this is the first trip to the playoffs for this young team with Tyreke and Cousins ​​at the core. They have no experience in the playoffs. The Thunder team in the finals, although the Thunder team is also young, but the lack of experience of the Kings makes them extremely immature. For the stage like the playoffs, how to deal with their emotions and fully exert their own strength is also what the Kings must experience and learn , You must know that the Thunder team entered the playoffs for the first time in the 09-10 season and was eliminated by the Lakers in the first round. It can be said that the Kings can reach this step is not bad.
Although after two defeats, the Kings really realized the strength of the Thunder, but at this level, no one would give up easily.Back at the Sleep Train Arena, the Kings, who had already lost two games, let go of the pressure on their shoulders to a certain extent. The worst result is to stop here, but no matter what, let the Thunder suffer!

The fans are satisfied enough with the performance of the Kings this season, but the regular season record is only one win behind the Thunder, and the Kings fans cannot accept that the team has lost three games in a row in the series. Passionate, the fans vowed to defend the glory of the home court together with the team!

The game was about to start, and in the player channel, Tyreke crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaning against the wall, and stopped his teammates who were about to enter the field.

Tyreke straightened up and walked in front of everyone, slowly opened his mouth and said with a serious face: "Going out is a life-and-death battle. We have already lost two games. We can't lose again when we go back to the home court! Today we played hard! In the regular season we Can beat the Thunder three times, and now we can still beat them!"

Tyreke glanced back and forth at the teammates in front of him and continued: "I know that it is not easy for us to get to this point. The outside world thinks that we have reached the Western Conference semifinals this season. This kind of thought flow, I admit that I also had such thoughts, especially the moment after losing two games, I even thought that we didn't want to compete for the championship, and it was enough to get here... But after a moment, I thought Don't think so, who doesn't want to win? Now that we are here, we also have a chance to enter the Western Conference finals! We just lost two away games, and now we are at our home court! Are we easy to mess with?! We continue to fight They played two games!!!”

Tyreke almost yelled at the end, while the teammates in front of him were silent for a few seconds, as if they were thinking about something.

"Fuck the Thunder! This is our home stadium!"

There was such a sudden sound from the crowd, breaking the brief silence, it was Jimmy Butler!
"Fuck the Thunder!!! Fuck the Thunder!!!"

Everyone shouted, as if they had reached a certain consensus, shouting and jumping, their morale was high...
