The Lakers fans who were watching the live broadcast erupted!
Lakers fans: "D'Antoni don't make promises, you resign soon!"
Lakers fans: "I feel sorry for Kobe, I tried my best when I didn't play, and I was cheated by a pig coach!"
Lakers fans: "If it weren't for the garbage lineup that D'Antoni changed, the Lakers might catch up!"
Lakers fans: "I beg D'Antoni to get out of class!"

The next day, Presti and the Hornets returned to New Orleans. When Presti and the players got off the plane, they heard the shouts of mountains and tsunami!New Orleans fans actually came to pick up the plane!
Seeing the fans coming to pick him up, Presti was not only moved by surprise, but more importantly proud!Because he knew very well that before he came New Orleans could be said to be a small ball market, and the fans basically had no sense of belonging, but it only took him two seasons to let the fans here have a sense of belonging. So many people came to pick up the plane is the best proof!
But the hearts of the players are only touched!Curry is okay, after all, he stayed in Oklahoma before and felt the crazy enthusiasm of the fans, but others did not, so when they saw so many fans coming to pick up the plane, they were full of emotion!For the first time, they felt the enthusiasm of the fans!Especially David West, he has been here for so long, and it is the first time that he is so loved by fans!
At this time, they all secretly said in their hearts: "This year, we must work hard to bring the O'Brien Trophy to New Orleans!"
･･･････
After the players returned home, they simply cleaned up and immediately returned to the Hornets training hall to start training. Presti did not go home directly, but went directly to the Hornets training hall.
Paul George firmly said to Presti: "Coach, we must work hard to bring the O'Brien trophy back to New Orleans!"
David West also said firmly: "Coach, I've been here for so many seasons, and it's the first time I've seen the fans here so crazy. Before, my desire for the championship was for myself, but now I want to fight for this city even more!"
On the side, Curry, Thompson, Jimmy Butler and others also nodded frequently!
Presti was very pleased to see the players laughing like this, and then said: "Not only this year, tomorrow, and the next year, the O'Brien trophy is ours. We want to create a dynasty!"
"Hmm!" The players responded excitedly!

In the evening, Presti once again sat on the sofa waiting for the game between the Spurs and the Thunder!
At the beginning of the first quarter, Parker took the lead with a jump shot, and Ibaka responded with an offensive rebound and a tip-up!Both sides started the game very well. Durant just hit a three-pointer, Leonard turned around and responded with a three-pointer. The two sides almost missed every shot in the opening duel!
Presti has to admit that the game between the Thunder and the Spurs is much more exciting than their game against the Lakers!
On the Thunder's side, Durant then scored two three-pointers, and then Westbrook scored 2+1 to help the Thunder complete the overtake!But Ginobili, who was replaced in the final duel, ushered in a small explosion!
A super long three-pointer, a three-point foul that caused Harden, and a three-pointer from a standard distance. One person scored 9 points with a penalty shot to help the Spurs regain the lead!
"Ginobili is really the sixth man in history," Presti praised.
At the last moment, James Harden stood up and scored 4 points in a row to resist the Spurs' chasing momentum.After the first quarter, the Spurs lead the Thunder 29-28!
次节开局邓肯来便强硬打成2+1，雷霆这边詹姆斯哈登则回敬三分！雷霆的开局火力没能延续，快船则依靠着吉诺比利和伦纳德发挥联手砍下7分的表现打出10-0的攻势占据上风！
The Thunder also responded in the tug-of-war. James Harden scored 6 points with penalty shots, and Durant hit a three-pointer from the outside. The Thunder responded with a 17-2 offensive to overtake the score!
Parker's jumper at the end stabilized the situation for the Spurs. After halftime, the Lone Ranger overtook the Spurs 52-48!
"The battle between the Spurs and the Thunder was really exciting!"
"Haha, the two sides played like the finals, back and forth!"
"Haha, who do you think will show up in the end? The Hornets over there are already stable!"
"Looking forward to the appearance of the Thunder, the lineup made by Presti must look good!"
"That's right, it would be nice if the Hornets eliminated the Thunder. If you replace Curry, you will be eliminated in turn!"
"The other way around is just as exciting. If the Thunder eliminated the Hornets, it would be even better. The Lord defeated Xiaosan, haha!"
············
After the intermission, the third quarter also started!
Leonard's free throw and Duncan's dunk gave the Spurs the first points!The Thunder responded by relying on Westbrook and Jordan's scoring in the paint!
The two sides launched a confrontation!
In this wave of confrontation, the Thunder once again had the upper hand. Durant and Westbrook scored consecutive jump shots to help the Thunder establish an 8-point lead!The overall performance of the Spurs in the final period was not good. The 4 points scored in the last 7 minutes came from Ginobili and Gary Neal. The Thunder relied on their constant attack on the inside to hold the lead. After three quarters, the Thunder led the Spurs 78-70!
In the last 12 minutes of the competition, Ginobili scored 4 points in the start to help the Spurs take the lead in opening the situation!The Thunder got off to a bad start and hit the iron one after another. James Harden's key 2+1 Thunder stopped the bleeding, but Ginobili scored a three-pointer in retrospect!
Facing the chasing points from the Spurs' wild bombardment at the beginning, the Thunder still attacked the inside steadily. Westbrook and James Harden hit the basket one after another to defend their weak lead!
At the end of the duel, the Thunder misfired again. The Spurs relied on Ginobili to score consecutive baskets and played an 8-0 offensive to tie the score!
At the final moment of the decisive battle, Ginobili's three-pointer made the Spurs overtake the score!
Presti stood up excitedly when he saw the three-pointer, and said, "Look at Manu in a desperate situation!"
However, after the Thunder came back from a timeout, Westbrook made a second offensive tip-up to regain the lead!
At the end, Ginobili's layup was blocked by Ibaka!
In the end, the Thunder beat the Spurs 104-100 to win the game!The Thunder lead the Spurs 3:1 in the series!
"The Thunder's athletic talent is really unparalleled. If the Spurs were a few years younger, the Thunder really couldn't win with this style of play," Presti sighed secretly.
When Presti turned off the TV, Harden called Presti again. Presti smiled and said, "I see, you won." Harden laughed and said, "The coach really cares about us, haha."
···········
The next night, the New Orleans Arena ushered in the fifth game series between the Hornets and the Lakers!
