Chapter 410 Promoted to the Boss of the King ([-]rd)
In a blink of an eye, on May 3rd, except for the 3-[-] draw between the Nets and the Bulls, the results of all other first-round matches in the league were released.

In the East, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 4-2 to advance. There are rumors that the Celtics are preparing to officially enter the rebuilding phase. Both Garnett and Pierce may be traded. Some fans retort that Pierce is the soul of the Celtics. Impossible to trade.

Su Yang laughed out loud when he saw the fans refute the reasons on the news. You must know that Angie would even trade his mother.

The Pacers defeated the Eagles 4-2 to advance. There are rumors that the Eagles are about to enter reconstruction, and the head coach has booked the Spurs assistant Budden.

The Eagles are the kind of team that looks very strong, but they just can’t go too far. The core reason is the lack of superstars. The former Josh Smith and Joe Johnson couldn’t do it. The future Tre Young has little hope, anyway. Always something short.

The Knicks will meet the Pacers in the second half of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The biggest highlight of the series is the matchup between Anthony and George.

In the first half of the Eastern Conference semifinals, it will be the winner between the Heat and the Nets and the Bulls, but neither the Nets nor the Bulls have the slightest chance of defeating the Heat. The Bulls lack MVP Rose.

In the West, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 4-2. There are rumors that Howard will not renew his contract with the Warriors. It is very likely that he will go to Houston with Chris Paul to partner with James Harden to form a more reasonable version of the Big Three lineup. The only problem is Rockets owner Alexander is quite stingy, and he may be reluctant to spend money to form a Big Three lineup, after all, it's just selling tickets.

Su Yang saw the news, subconsciously deduced for a while, and found that the Rockets really might form the Big Three, but the probability of Paul going to the Rockets at this stage is relatively low.

Considering the change of the timeline, except for the Heat, Spurs, Thunder, and Lakers, other teams have no hope of winning the championship. If Howard still joins the Rockets like in his previous life, it is not impossible for Paul to go to the Rockets. After all, the Lakers are too strong.

The Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets 4-2. There are rumors that Iguodala is very likely to leave the Nuggets, and his whereabouts are likely to affect the league form next season. There are relatively few teams that can sign him naked. The Warriors may go all out , And then keep Howard. .

The Spurs will meet the Grizzlies in the second half of the Western Conference semifinals. The biggest highlight of the series is the duel between the ultimate offensive tactics and the ultimate defense. However, 14 ESPN experts predict the result of the match, and 13 of them support the Spurs to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

In the first half of the Western Conference Semifinals, the Lakers and the Thunder met. ESPN also arranged for 14 experts to predict the result of the match. All 14 experts supported the Lakers, because the Thunder without Westbrook was too good. They led 3-0 and the Rockets were pulled twice in a row. .

Seeing the Thunder advance, Su Yang knew that the Western Conference finals were stable, but he did not relax and prepared according to the normal process.
-
On the early morning of the [-]th, the entire Lakers team flew from Los Angeles to Oklahoma City, maintaining a normal mind as if playing a regular season.

One day off, at [-] pm on the [-]th, the first game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Thunder officially started at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

The Thunder just ended their game with the Rockets in less than 48 hours, so it can be said that they are exhausted, even at home.

According to Su Yang's arrangement, the Lakers will fully interfere with Durant receiving the ball by going around the front and delaying the defense. Once Durant receives the pass, he will immediately let go of the shot, stick to his body and let Durant Rand went inside and then consumed.

Westbrook was absent, and it was difficult for the Thunder to get defensive rebounds. They often fell into positional battles. Because Artest didn't have to worry about being slow and difficult to catch up, he gave Durant a physical confrontation with all his strength, which made Durant quite uncomfortable. Also steals passes a few times.

On the defensive end, Green can also limit Ibaka's pick-and-roll and long-range shots very well. Ibaka lacks low post and passing skills, and it is difficult to punish Green through height advantage and time difference. Compared with Perkins, Durant must hold the ball a lot, and the efficiency of breakthrough points is also low, while Reggie Jackson only made 23.1% of his three-pointers throughout the season.

Coupled with Reggie Jackson's mention of the starting point guard position, the impact threat the Lakers face during the bench stage has been greatly reduced.

The halftime game ended quickly, the Lakers led 57 to 43, and the Thunder relied on Durant's 18 of 10 shots.

In the third quarter after the halftime break, Durant's performance was mediocre, only 8 of 3 shots. The Lakers' physical exertion strategy began to work, but Durant was in a slump, and the Thunder's other players were in a downturn. Ibaka made 5 of 0 shots in a single quarter. Medium, super spicy eyes.

The Thunder scored only 17 points in the entire third quarter, while the Lakers scored 27 points, so that the Lakers led by 24 points.

As the game entered the fourth quarter, the Thunder struggled for several rounds and found that they could not narrow the point difference, so they had no choice but to give up the game early.

Su Yang withdrew the main force at the same time. After the whole game was over, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 111 to 93, and the series scored 1 to 0.

Six Lakers scored in double figures, while the Thunder, except for Durant and Kevin Martin, no one else scored in double figures.

Participating in the press conference after the game, the reporter asked if Westbrook would be able to advance easily because of Westbrook's absence. Su Yang replied: "Of course! Westbrook is an important part of the Thunder team. I don't intend to hide this. We are indeed very lucky. It will be easier to advance, but I also want to say that we are going all out to treat the game, and there is no link that underestimates the Thunder's potential counterattack..."

That same night, the Pacers beat the Knicks away.

The expected top small forward matchup turned into Anthony and Paul George pulling each other across. Both of them shot 35%. The former had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls, and the latter had 4 turnovers and 6 fouls. The difference is that George 14 fewer shots.

The next day, the Heat played against the Bulls in the semifinals. The NBA officially awarded LeBron James the MVP of the 2013 season.

On the seventh, the Lakers continued to challenge the Thunder.

Kobe made 3 fouls in the first quarter, Artest also let Durant make two fouls in a row, and the Lakers struggled on both offense and defense.

After the whole game, the Lakers regretted losing 89 to 93.

Su Yang was very angry, and what was even more angry was that some fans were being tempted and criticized Curry wildly for making 15 of 5 shots. He only had 13 points and 7 assists in the game. He failed to lead the team well when Kobe was forced to rest. Offense, not as good as Reggie Jackson.

After four full days of rest, the third game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and the Thunder started at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Samuel Jackson, Nicholson, George Lopez, Beckham and other celebrities attended the battle.

The Thunder lost their home penalty advantage, and the Lakers played all the way. From the beginning to the end of the game, seven players from the team scored in double figures. They beat the Thunder 107 to 81, making the series lead 2 to 1, and the probability of promotion is high. Amplitude increased.

NO.13, the Lakers face the Thunder again.

Thunder head coach Brooks adjusted his strategy and chose to let Durant and Reggie Jackson play the full 48 minutes of regulation, forcing the game into overtime. However, Kobe showed his power in overtime and made five consecutive shots, while Durant made five shots. Zero hit.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Thunder 111-97, leading the Thunder 3-1 in the series and getting the promotion match point.

The whole team flew to Oklahoma overnight, and after a day's rest as usual, NO.15 challenged the Thunder away.

At noon on the same day, the NBA Board of Governors formally voted, with a final result of 26 to 4, officially approving the decision of the relocation committee to prevent the Kings from moving to Seattle. The Saskatchewan consortium headed by Nadev and the Los Angeles consortium headed by Su Yang are conducting a new round of bidding.

But the Seattle consortium was out, and almost everyone who cared about this knew that the consortium led by Vic had no chance of winning.

It is a foregone conclusion that Su Yang will be the king's boss.

The gossip magazine TMZ broke the news, saying that the four teams that supported the king’s relocation were the Thunder, the Suns, the Celtics, and the Heat. Those four teams had more or less conflicts with Su Yang, or they said they were different, and they didn’t want to see Su Yang joins them.

However, the bidding plan given by Su Yang was too powerful, and the bosses of the other 26 teams fully supported Su Yang's entry.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Thunder started.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers committed 12 more fouls, but Kobe made a winning shot and advanced 4-1.

Su Yang flew to Sacramento overnight, signed an acquisition agreement with the Maloof brothers, the owner of the Kings, and signed an agreement with the Saskatchewan City Hall to implement the previous arena construction agreement.

Early the next morning, the NBA announced that Su Yang had completed the acquisition of the Kings, and the league would begin approval within three working days. Given that Su Yang was still serving as the head coach of the Lakers, the situation was rather special, and Su Yang would be temporarily restricted in various positions of the Kings. This power, and freeze the king's personnel flow, will not resume until the alliance completes the approval and Su Yang resigns from all positions of the Lakers, and the two conditions are met at the same time.

After the news was released, major social platforms in China and the United States sparked heated discussions. Both Weibo and Twitter were on the top of the hot topic, and the traffic was full.
