Chapter 173 Advance to the Finals
After hanging up the phone with Davidson, Barkley was a little excited.
Because he knew very well that joining the king was almost a foregone conclusion.
The Suns have no reason to reject the Kings' offer.
There is no way Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. The Suns will definitely give priority to the teams Barkley wants to join.
Thinking of his upcoming joining the Kings next season, Barkley was actually a little nervous, mainly because he was afraid that others would say he would hold his thighs...
However, thinking of the temptation of the championship, he still gritted his teeth and was determined to go to the king.
It would be best if the Kings and the Bulls lost a lot this season. In this way, joining the Kings team by themselves is not considered a thigh...
Instead, he led the king to defeat the bull, and he was the thickest thigh.
...
Davidson is not interested in Barkley's affairs now. After all, it will be next season. What he is most concerned about now is the ongoing Western Conference Finals.
In any case, the king must pass the supersonic level at the moment. As long as he can reach the finals and win even one game against the Bulls, the king of this season will be truly successful.
It’s not that Davidson is not motivated, but that he is very clear about the gap between the two teams.
Competitive sports say that courage is the strongest weapon, but this also scores.
For example, if you give him one million courage, he can't beat the Bulls if you want to win the weakest Vancouver Grizzlies this season.
Of course, Davidson didn't say he had no expectations at all.
For example, if the king explodes like God possessed, and the bull's hit rate is cursed by the devil, then things will be easy to deal with. If the king cannot win the championship, it will definitely be unreasonable.
...
It is now May, and the rookie trials of each team are naturally in full swing.
Of course, the Kings are not idle either, but the players who are trying out are all players who predict low picks.
Originally, Davidson was thinking about calling Nash for a trial, but after thinking about what Jaylen Ross had rejected before, Davidson gave up on this plan.
The deal with the Suns has not been successful yet. The Kings only have a 29th pick in the first round. A player like Nash who predicts that he can enter the Green House will be willing to come to Saramento for a trial.
On May 20, the second game of the Western Conference Finals began.
The result of this game made the Kings fans feel cold, and they actually lost to the Supersonics at their home court.
As soon as the Supersonics got up, they put Kemp in the fifth position and directly launched a fast attack on the whole game.
The speed is extremely fast, which makes a heavy center like Murraysan unable to bear it at all.
Davidson could only let Grant play the No. 5 position from time to time to relieve Murraysan's pressure.
The supersonics played very fast in this game, which was a factor in their winning.
Of course, the bigger factor is that the touch of their game tonight was really amazing.
On the King's side, the bus's performance was relatively stable. Murraysan and Richmond's offense were not outstanding, so they naturally failed to win in the end.
Losing a home court puts Davidson under great pressure. He has thought of losing to the strongest team in the history level like the Bulls, but he has never thought of losing to the Supersonics.
Fortunately, in the third game, the Kings won a goal at the Supersonics home court.
In the fourth game, the Supersonics defended their home court again, and the two sides directly tied a 2:2 draw.
The Supersonics tied with the Kings, which allowed many teams to see hope of defeating the super powerhouses.
If they stop and fight steadily to fight the positional battle, they will definitely not be the super powerful opponents.
But if you are crazy fast attack like Supersonic, luck will occupy a big factor in it. As long as you are lucky enough, it doesn't seem like a problem for Supersonic to kill the Bulls.
Before the Western Conference Finals started, no one was optimistic about the Supersonics. Although the Supersonics had a good record in the regular season, the inside gap between the two sides was too big.
But now the two sides have tied 2:2, which obviously shows the effectiveness of the fast attack tactics.
It seems that the Muba group said it was the slowest All-Star Double Tower in NBA history, which is not an exaggeration...
Even Davidson had to admit that the fast attack tactics were indeed quite restrained against their Muba combination.
If Supersonics really fights them in position, Davidson is confident that he will sweep Supersonics to advance now.
After the first four games, what is even more unfavorable to the King is that the Bulls have advanced.
The Bulls directly shaved O'Neal's head and eliminated the Magic with a 4:0 score.
The strength of the strongest team in history is evident!
You should know that the Magic of last season was actually not as strong as the Magic of this season, but the Magic of last season almost reached the finals.
With the Magic's lineup this season, the Nets may not be able to win last season. Even if they win, they will definitely have to fight at least six or seven games.
It was such a team that was shaved by the Bulls, which showed the terror of the Bulls, which made people frightened.
The bull is now waiting for the king or supersonic advancement.
On May 28, the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals began.
Although the King relied on the power of Richmond and the bus to win the game, Davidson was not happy.
Murraysan had a thigh cramp in the third quarter of this game. Although it did not affect the next game, it also released a signal that Murraysan is now at his limit.
This high-intensity offense and defense are under great pressure from Murraysan, and Davidson feels that this may also be Murraysan's shortcomings under normal circumstances.
Under normal circumstances, Murraysan's career life is very short, and there must be reasons why the tonnage is too large and it is easy to get injured.
The only thing Davidson can do now is pray that Murraysan can persevere. Once Murraysan is injured and unable to fight, the king's battle situation will become quite difficult.
On May 30, the King, who held the match point, did not give the Supersonics a chance. At the Supersonics' home court, he simply defeated the Supersonics and won the finals ticket.
Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, and was lucky. Murraysan resisted and did not suffer any injuries in the Western Conference Finals.
The Kings advanced to the finals with a score of 4:2. The fans were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night. Before the start of this season, they absolutely never dreamed that the Kings could reach the finals!
That is the finals, representing the best team in the West!
Not to mention the finals, before the start of the game, most fans even thought that the Kings were difficult to score in the playoffs!
As the Kings reached the finals, Davidson and the Bus' reputation soared directly with geometric amplitude, becoming the hottest new star in the league today.
Whether it is Davidson or the bus, these two are "rookies"!
Rookie head coach Davidson led the team to the finals, and rookie player Dabu led the team to the finals, which were all amazing achievements.
...
Of course, there are not any examples of new players leading the team in the finals, and there are even many examples of new players winning the championship.
For example, Pat Riley led the Lakers to win the championship in his first year in coaching.
Chapter completed!
