There is no internal strife in the King's locker room, not as the media speculated, but they exposed many problems on the court.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, they lost to the Spurs 104-112.

This season, the Kings cannot withstand the attack of strong teams and often defend an ordinary team into a super offensive team.

Thomas was beaten by Parker without any accident, Vucevic was completely suppressed by Duncan, and "Stone Buddha" scored one-on-one scores many times.

They are the Kings' two biggest defensive weaknesses and cannot be compensated. For Barbosa and Whiteside, the defense will not be much better, and the offensive end cannot be opened.

In the second game, Kings' small ball tactics, James went to defend Duncan, Aldridge, Parker, and Ginobili began to show off again.

Ade pulled out to cover every round, allowing the defender to misplace the position and rush to Vucevic. The king made up for defense from the side, and the defender went out and made three-pointers from the outside.

Leonard trained three-pointers under the guidance of Vicky, and has made significant progress this season. Belinelli and Green are even more accurate, at the level of the three-pointer.

Wang Jun and James performed well in both games, but they couldn't resist the Spurs' offense and didn't want to win.

The Spurs play the same way as last season, with empty cuts, pick-and-rolls, and support from the inside. The difference is that players' shooting is more accurate than last season, and Aldridge's strength is far better than Dior.

When he was in the Thunder, Ade was only the third offensive point. When he arrived at the Spurs, he was the core of the offensive line. The coach specially arranged tactics and was more efficient. He averaged 21.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1 assist in 34 minutes in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 52.1%.

The Spurs' substitute lineup is amazing, Mills, Ginobili, Belinelli, Prince, and Bonner. Bonner played in the second quarter in one game for a few minutes, the worst, and the other four players can play a big role.

Efficiency is always the key to winning.

Unfortunately, Carter, Ray Allen and Thomas are not efficient now, and their shooting percentages are barely 40%.

In the third game, Wang Jun exploded at home, made 21 of 35 shots, 11 of 18 three-pointers, made many strong fouls in counterattacks, made 13 of 14 shots, and scored 66 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in the game.

Wang Jun almost didn't pass the ball in this game and led the team to win the game.

Kidd arranged the ball rights for him, and resolutely played the star tactics, and dealt with the Spurs like the Thunder, instead of passing and cutting, and blooming at multiple points.

The Spurs' defensive rotation speed is too fast, and their teammates' shooting rate is not as good as Wang Jungao. If you shoot for others, your opponent will only be happy.

In the fourth game, the King was James again, and Wang Jun fought one-on-one. Both of them scored 30+ and led the team to score 2-2.

Many people remember that the Kings were behind 0-2 and then won four consecutive games. Unfortunately, this time it didn't go so smoothly because the Kings' inside defense was too poor.

The Spurs returned to home court and let Parker take the lead at the beginning. They quickly caused Vucevic to commit two fouls through breakthroughs.

In the past, Vucevic had Brand to replace him, and his defense was even better. This time, the substitute was the only one who relied on "white side" Whiteside and Patterson to play the No. 5 position.

The "White Border" performed poorly in the playoffs, and was not Duncan and Ade's opponent to defend hard. Thomas and Brooks can score and defend the black hole at the defensive end. Barbosa's condition is the lowest, with a shooting percentage of only 37% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.5%.

The Spurs' defense is much better. Prince, Green, Leonard, and Dior are the key. They share their playing time, prevent breakthroughs fiercely, and immediately pull them away when they are over, sending Wang Jun, James, and Thomas to free throws to disrupt the offensive rhythm.

104 to 93, the Spurs won the match point at home.

Back at home, relying on Carter's excitement, James and Wang Jun's personal abilities, the Kings tied the score again.

Neither side can win the opponent away, and the Kings are already at a disadvantage.

In the tiebreak battle, the king lost.

The Spurs won in some details, focusing on the defense of role players.

Thomas is fast and it is difficult to defend one-on-one. However, the Spurs Parker is also one of the fastest players. He also has a small guard Mills who is similar to Thomas' style. In this series, Thomas was defended in four games with a shooting percentage of less than 40%, making 3 of 13 shots in the tiebreak, becoming a gold medal undercover.

Leonard defended James alone, and Green defended Wang Jun alone. Although he didn't defend himself, the Spurs didn't double-team. The Kings' role player who has played under the glory of superstars for a long time has not played even when facing strict defense.

The Spurs have always won by team offense, and it is no problem to bypass the Kings' defense and strong points. One has increased and the Kings failed to defend their title.

Wang Jun made 15 of 33 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and James also scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but he couldn't get a win back.

Zhang Heli said depressedly: "The Kings series reminds me of the Rockets during the Yao-Mai period. The two stars performed well, but the support given by their teammates was not enough."

The Spurs won, some congratulate them, and some shouted injustice.

Aldridge's trade became the key to victory or defeat. If he was replaced by Split, the situation would be completely different. The Spurs' offense would not be strong enough to defend.

Unfortunately, if there is no if, if you lose, you lose.

In the past, Wang Jun would always think about how he felt when he lost the playoffs. At the moment he was eliminated, he relaxed.

Just like a death row prisoner, the days of waiting for the death penalty are the most painful. When he was executed, he thought it out loud. Everything was irreversible and he didn't have to think about anything anymore.

In an interview after the game, Wang Jun performed very calmly: "Congratulations to the Spurs for advancing to the finals. They played better in this series."

The reporter asked: "Do you have any special thoughts about losing this time?"

"No special feeling. On the basketball court, no one can win all the time, and I am no exception. I will try my best to win the championship next season."

The reporter asked: "Which team do you think of winning the championship?"

"The Spurs, the situation of the Nets is similar to that of the Kings. They have strong offense and weak defense. No matter how strong the offense is, they cannot completely lose their defense. Unfortunately, we did a bad job on the defensive end."

James was asked whether Xia Tian would break out of the contract, and he said he would consider it.

Saying "will consider" instead of "I will stay", James has actually made a decision and he is going back to the Cavaliers.

In this playoffs, the Spurs received some preferential treatment at home, and their defensive actions were not easily fouled, which caused the Kings not to get many free throws in the last game and the players' shooting percentage decreased.

The league is determined to stop the Kings from winning four consecutive championships. The Western Spurs and Eastern Nets are all outrageously strong, and they are the obstacles that the league has brought.

The draft lottery conference held on May 20 made a shocking uproar.

The Cavaliers once again won the No. 1 pick with only 1.7% chance. This probability is described as football, which is the chance of the Chinese men's football team breaking out of Asia.

Two consecutive top picks, who believes that this is good luck?

The second and third picks are Magic and Philadelphia 76ers.

If the Cavaliers choose another No. 1 pick and package a high-ranking rookie or role player in the team, they will definitely be able to exchange for a big-name star. As long as James goes back, the Cavaliers will be the favorite to win the championship.

The best thing is that no one will say that he is "hugging his thighs". The Cavaliers didn't even make the playoffs before. If James leads the team to achieve excellent results, he may still win the regular season MVP.

No matter how glorious the King is, he can't get over the hurdle of the Cavaliers. The King failed to defend his title, and the team exposed a lot of problems. It's not easy to play next season. How to choose? Will the smart James not understand?
