1002: Historic Night

Since the venue needs to be changed, there were two days between the fourth and fifth games of the finals.

In the past two days, Memphis has been preparing to celebrate the team's third championship.

In the outer square of the Federal Express Arena, the Grizzlies made a big O'Brien Cup model in order to create a championship atmosphere.

The stadium was decorated everywhere. Various photos of the Grizzlies winning the first two championships were posted everywhere.

This is the most literary and artistic stadium in the league and has now become the most championship-like stadium in the league.

Not only the arena, but also the streets and alleys of the city, posters celebrating the championship.

All the billboards of the tall buildings were replaced with content related to the Grizzlies' championship.

On the street, almost all citizens wear Grizzlies jerseys or team T-shirts. Among them, most of them wear No. 0 jerseys.

Some businesses even started promotional activities to celebrate the establishment of the Grizzlies’ dynasty! The discount intensity is similar to the annual Christmas.

The atmosphere in the entire city of Memphis is very pleasant, as if it is celebrating a festival, only people in this city have.

The smell of champion has begun to spread throughout the city.

At this time, as the biggest protagonist of this "festival", Link is in Oklahoma City, 750 kilometers away from Memphis. He brought his two previous championship rings to the cemetery that he was extremely familiar with.

Today, there are not many people in the cemetery, they are very quiet and suitable for conversation.

Link walked to a tombstone and found a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. The flowers have not withered or taken away, which means they have just been put here.

Link looked around and saw no familiar faces. No matter who it was, he might have left.

Link then squatted in front of the tombstone, put down the flowers in his hand, then raised his hand, and shook the two championship rings in his hand at the tombstone.

"See Zike, I'm holding two championship rings now! If nothing unexpected happens, I will also welcome my third championship trophy the day after tomorrow. I did it, and I became one of the greatest players in the league. No, we did it. Now people are wearing your No. 0 jersey on the streets of Memphis."

"Incredible, really incredible. Now, I have won two regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, two scoring champions, two best defensive players, three doubles and one team. And, soon, a three-game winning dynasty will be established. I'm very happy, Zick. It turns out that basketball players like us who were born out of the spotlight can also succeed. By the way, your sister is about to graduate from college, so you don't have to worry. Your mother and she live a good life, and they have moved out of the old neighborhood. Now, you don't have to worry about them being harassed by the gangsters again."

"I sent them all the tickets for the fifth game of the Finals. They will come to see me win on the spot for you. Your No. 0 will be sought after by the whole world! Also, I plan to propose to a girl this summer. Hahaha, I'm sorry to tell you so late. Actually, she and I met her very early, and we met her when we were still playing in the Development League. I don't know why, since last year, the feeling of wanting to have a home with her is getting stronger and stronger. Maybe this is my real belonging."

Link looked at the tombstone and the name on it, as if he saw Upshaw smiling in front of him, patting his shoulder and saying, "You really have it, stinky brat."

"Get a good rest, man, wait for my good news. I will bring her here next time I come. You have to know her, right? Okay, I should go back. To be honest, my ribs are still hurting so much now. The media and fans say I am a tough guy, it's just that I'm gritting my teeth and holding on. Could it be that I'm going to scream out in the game? Let's go, good luck."

Link stood up, stared at the tombstone for a few seconds, and then turned and left.

He will return to Memphis this afternoon to prepare for the final battle.

As soon as Link left, a burly man walked to the tombstone from a big tree in the distance. The man looked at Link's back and opened his mouth, but quickly closed it, and still did not shout Link's name.

"Dad, wasn't that the person who appeared on TV every day just now?" A little boy pointed at Link who was walking away and said next to the man.

"Yes, he is the one who appears on TV every day."

"Do you know him? Why did he put a bouquet of flowers here like you?"

"Because, we are good friends. Well... it should be considered."

"Oh my God Dad, you actually know TV stars! When did you become good friends? Tell me!"

"This is a very long story, and it starts with a few years ago when I threw him hard on the floor in the training ground. At that time, my mother and I were not as good as you... Let's go, Edward, let's talk about this story later when we get home."

Joan Brockman walked out of the cemetery with his child.

He will watch the live broadcast of the day after tomorrow on time.

"Link is in trouble. He was caught by two players, LeBron and Shampoo. The basketball is in his hands, but he has no way to score directly. The 24-second offensive time is about to end, and Link must make a decision as soon as possible. He turns around and leans back... Jump shot - bang! The ball is scored! The ball is scored again in double teams, worthy of being the king of Memphis! Such a difficult goal cannot defeat him! The difference was widened to 10 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have no chance!"

Mike Brynn's excited roar came from the TV.

What was more excited than him in front of the TV was the Grizzlies fans. Those who couldn't go to watch the game on site could only choose to go to crowded bars to witness this historic night.

Watching football in a bar is usually an operation that only football games can be used. But today, in Memphis, all bars of all sizes are almost full.

People from all over the city crowded together to watch this basketball game.

After all, this will be a moment of honor that belongs to the city.

"Good, champion! We are champions!"

"Three consecutive championships, dynasty! No one can stop us!"

"Link, I love you so much!"

"Yes, yes, if I were a woman, I would marry him!"

"Ah hahahaha..."

Such a scene appears in the bar where all Memphis fans gather. Tonight, the local police will definitely not have to worry about the crime rate.

Because of the whole city, no one would want to miss this game.

"Beer! I want more beer!"

"Cheers! For the championship!"

"Cheers! For the Grizzly Dynasty! For the Link's era!"

In the lively Federal Express Arena, the shouts of fans at the scene made Mike Brynn unable to even hear his voice.

The game is not over yet, and the Clevelanders have 1 minute and 22 seconds to fill the 10-point gap.

But Grizzlies fans are already celebrating unscrupulously, and they don’t care about the nonsense of “a miracle happens here”.

In the Federal Express Arena, only the Grizzlies can create miracles!

James wiped the sweat from his head, and once again, Link scored a goal that left him helpless.

Yes, I can’t do anything. After this round of the series, the biggest feeling that James felt was that he could do nothing.

James didn't feel this way when he lost to the Grizzlies in the past two years.

He thought he could fight Link, but the Heat's injury problem really made James isolated and helpless, making him unable to defeat four hands with one punch.

But this year, James has no excuses. The Cleveland Cavaliers are younger and healthier than the Heat.

But he still lost in the duel with Link, completely lost, and powerless.

Link did not celebrate as much as the fans did, and he continued to shout at his teammates to keep them focused.

This is the NBA finals, and even in the last minute, anything can still happen.

The game started again and James began to rush into the inside wildly. He obviously wanted to attract defense and then create three-point shooting opportunities for Irving and Love.

But the Grizzlies players were not fooled. They firmly implemented man-marking defense and handed James to Link.

Seeing that there was no passing route, James had to grit his teeth and force a layup. But Link did not give in. He raised his arms and jumped up, forming a high wall in front of the basket!

"Bang!"

This is the time to hear this sound in this game? James can't remember it.

His offense is hindered everywhere today!

"Link stopped James' layup! The ball was not scored, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were getting closer and closer to failure!"

In this way, the game was getting closer and closer. However, the score difference did not narrow significantly.

When the game was only 30 seconds left and the Cavaliers were still 8 points behind, it seemed that even James wanted to give up.

He scored a three-pointer outside the three-point line but failed to hit. In the critical last minute, James failed to score a single point!

This reminded him of the second game of the series, which was also here, and the last minute.

Link reversed the game with an incredible steal and jump shot, but what about himself?

James covered his head in pain after shooting, and he gave up!

"The game is over. Look at LeBron. He seems to have lost all his courage and fighting spirit in an instant. He has no idea how to play the last few dozen seconds of the game."

With 23 seconds left in the game, basketball is at Conley's hands. The Cavaliers players have no intention of coming up to grab the ball, and both sides are waiting for the game to end.

On the Grizzlies' bench, players and coaches gathered on the sidelines, waiting for the referee's whistle to rush in to celebrate.

Celebrating this historic three-game winning streak!

Ten seconds left in the game.

Link suddenly covered his chest and squatted on the ground. He finally didn't have to hold on!

There are seven seconds left in the game.

James stood on the court with his waist on his back and finally glanced at the championship banner. In the end, he still did not bring this thing home.

There are four seconds left in the game.

The young Kelly Irving covered his face, as if he was crying. For him, this blow was indeed too big.

With one second left in the game, Mike Conley threw the basketball into the air.

Then......

“Beep~~~~~~~~”

"The game is over, and the Memphis Grizzlies have established their dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
