1013: The Hardest Road

On June 12, 2016, the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and the Warriors ended at the Oracle Arena.

Today is undoubtedly a glorious day for the Warriors. For Durant, this seems to be the pinnacle of his career.

Even though LeBron James tenaciously scored a large double-double with 41 points and 13 rebounds in this game, and his shooting percentage in this game was as high as 63.3%.

Even though j.r. Smith made 7 of 8 shots from outside the three-point line, he scored 25 points with a more abnormal 81.8% shooting percentage.

Even though Kelly Irving scored 26 points, he also gave out 6 assists.

But the Cleveland Cavaliers were still defeated by the "Galaxy Battleship" Golden State Warriors 120-129 at the Oracle Arena.

The same 4-1, and they tried their best, but they could not do anything. Everything that happened to the Cavaliers at this moment seemed to be no different from last year.

What is the essence of life?

Repeater!

James fell into deep despair and failed in the finals for four consecutive years. James believes that in this regard, he must be the well-deserved No. 1 player in the league!

Who can lose four times in the finals in a row? Only James!

But James would rather not be the first person like this.

"Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors, they have truly become the new league overlords! They eliminated the Grizzlies who established a three-game championship dynasty in the Western Conference Finals, and now, they officially announced in the finals that their dynasty era is coming!"

After Mike Bryn finished shouting, he couldn't help but sigh.

The world of NBA is really thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi.

At this time a year ago, who would have thought that Durant would join the Warriors?

At this time a year ago, no one believed that the Memphis Grizzlies would lose.

At this time a year ago, James must have the belief in winning a championship for Cleveland.

But now, after four consecutive failures, how much is this belief left?

James, Love and Irving left the stadium, and the camera gave James a close-up. People found that the domineering "emperor" actually covered his face with his hands, as if he was crying.

Yes, in Miami, the Heat Big Three have tried the taste of a championship once.

But in Cleveland, James, Love and Irving seemed to be cursed. These three people seemed destined to be out of the championship.

Not long after, a podium was built in the Oracle Arena.

This year, there is no tradition that if Link doesn’t come to power, everyone will not come to power.

This year, Adam's joke smile comes from the heart and is no longer embarrassing.

He is glad that the league has finally had a new storefront player, and he is glad that the league's current storefront team is a team with a huge market.

In the All-Star vote after the first restructuring this year, Link is still the vote king. Even if the joke changes the rules, it cannot stop Link from continuing to be domineering.

But at this moment, the joke felt that he finally won. At this moment, he finally felt that he was the real president of the league, and everything was under his control.

This year, there is no need to hand over the O'Brien Cup to that "villain" for jokes.

Warriors owner Joe Lacob became the first person to take over the championship trophy from jokes.

Once again, the league returns to the tradition of the champion first handing the team boss.

Bill Russell handed over the FMVP trophy to Durant, and he became the first player to win the double MVP achievement since Link.

At this moment, Durant felt that he was perfect. At this moment, he felt that he was no worse than Link.

Double MVP + 74 wins in the regular season + championship, he did it too!

Finally, he defeated his lifelong enemy! Finally, this alliance is no longer just the name of Link!

And from now on, there will be no more!

Mike Bryn applauded the winner, but felt a little awkward.

I have become accustomed to seeing Link and the Grizzlies win the championship, but now I have suddenly changed people and teams. Mike Bryn always feels strange.

Watching Durant lifting the FMVP trophy and watching Adam. Joke clapped happily, Link turned off the TV and sat on the sofa.

In the past, Link, like everyone else, would not care about the losers.

Because the winner is often himself.

But this time, Link felt a little sympathetic to the Cavaliers and his old rival James.

It's really miserable that I lost in the finals for four consecutive years...

There is no way, who forced himself to outsource the Super Warriors a year in advance? In the original history, James would have won another championship this year, and he would have shouted the classic saying, "This is dedicated to Cleveland!"

Now, Zhan is completely tragic.

Of course, Link felt very uncomfortable.

Looking at Durant and the jokes showing off, Link felt uncomfortable.

He has always been a stingy person and has never liked others to show off their power.

Although I have told myself countless times that this is the cycle that every team in modern basketball must go through. Although I have told myself countless times that Michael Jordan, the "god", has never achieved four consecutive championships.

But when Link really watched his old enemy succeed with his own eyes, he still felt unwilling to accept it.

"Link, stop watching. This season is over, isn't it?" Rachel, who was wearing a facial mask, walked out of the toilet and took Link's arm.

"Well... rest, you have to get up early tomorrow." Link smiled. He didn't want to bring his bad feelings at work home.

What's more, it's at the critical moment when he and Rachel are about to get married.

This summer, both parties are preparing for the wedding in mid-July. Since Link's successful proposal in Venice last year, the two have been preparing for the wedding.

Tomorrow, Link will have to go and choose a wedding dress with Rachel. So this summer, in addition to work, Link is also busy in life.

After the wedding, Link and Rachel will go on a short honeymoon.

Then, starting from August, Link would pull his good friends and the young Grizzlies to immediately join the training! And it was a more severe devil training than ever before!

In mid-September, before the NBA pre-season training camp began, Link had a special plan that would take about a week or two to complete.

After the special plan is over, pre-season training camp begins and the Grizzlies will officially prepare for the new season.

Judging from the current plan, Link has almost no free time this summer and has to be busy from beginning to end.

The reason why he arranged his schedule so much was because he had made a decision yesterday.

Two roads, he chose the most difficult and almost impossible one - to rebuild Memphis' glory!

That's right, three consecutive championships are already amazing.

That's right, even if Link never wins the championship again, he is still one of the greatest players in NBA history. Just like Carl Malone has never won the championship in his life, but he still cannot stop his greatness.

But Link didn't want one, that was never his standard.

What he wants is to remove one of the greatest behind!

After watching Durant and the Warriors win the championship today, Link became even more determined to think this way.

Since you have the chance to win, why give the victory to others?

Jimmy Butler was right when he left last year, there is always something that men have to do their best to accomplish in their lives.

For Butler, this is a matter of being independent and establishing a self-employed person.

For Link, this may be the greatest player in history.

Link nodded silently, then got up and prepared to go to the bedroom.

At this time, Link's cell phone rang, it was Kobe who called.

Like in the original history, Kobe Bryant, the NBA superstar who has influenced a whole generation, put a perfect end to his long career with a 60-point battle at the Staples Center on April 13, 2016.

Link was unable to watch the game in person because he had a competition to participate that day, which made him very sorry.

Later, Link was busy with the playoffs, so he never met Kobe.

Linkbang planned to go to Los Angeles to see Kobe in a few days, but unexpectedly, "Black Mamba" called first.

"Hey, old co-founder, what's going on so late?"

"Hahaha, I'm not asleep yet. I must have just finished watching the finals, right? I feel uncomfortable, right?" Kobe laughed out loud on the other end of the phone.

"Well... just laugh. Say it, what's the matter."

"It's nothing, I just want to invite you to my house to sit. In a few days, I will invite a few old friends to my retirement dinner, which is purely private. But if you can..."

Speaking of this, Kobe paused. Link did not interrupt him, he knew Kobe hadn't finished speaking yet.

"If possible, I want you to accompany me for the last time and see what it looks like at 4 a.m. in Los Angeles."
