1193: The Greatest Road in History
In the last 23 seconds of the game, Link took the ball.
After he passed the midfield line, he stopped directly.
At this time, the cheers in the Federal Express Arena reached its peak. Because in 23 seconds, they will win the O'Brien Cup for the fourth time in team history!
The Cavaliers are still 12 points behind the Grizzlies. Sure enough, chasing 16 points in the last minute is unrealistic.
The fans were in extreme excitement throughout the last minute of the game.
After a year, almost all Memphis people are thinking about it day and night.
Now, this wonderful moment is finally coming!
Link looked at the timer on the rebound, and he never felt that 23 seconds was so long.
Others are still on the basketball court, but their thoughts have already rushed out of the stadium.
James had already set up a defensive posture, but when he saw Link stop, he simply put his waist on his waist and waited for the game to end.
This is definitely the most shameful finals James has ever played, no doubt about it.
Although he was even swept by Link before, that could only rank second in the list of the most shameful finals of his career.
In this game, the free throw ratio of both sides in the fourth quarter was 10-3, and the offensive foul ratio was 5-0.
That's right, the Grizzlies were hailed five offensive fouls in the fourth quarter!
In addition, Jokic, the Grizzlies, also committed six crimes. Link was far less than before because of four fouls.
To be honest, the Cavaliers took advantage of this game and even James himself felt a little embarrassed.
The referee's favoritism has reached an unreasonable level. It can be seen that the league has used any means to force the finals.
However, even so, the Cavaliers failed to win the game! Not only did they not win, but the score difference was also widened by the Grizzlies again to double digits!
This great humiliation made James not know how to face the media and public opinion in the future.
From the pride of heaven when he first entered the league to the loser who can't win the game by referees...
A feeling of powerlessness spread throughout James in an instant, and he felt that his career was going down the road.
So what if he reached the finals for seven consecutive years? This just means that he has become the uncrowned king of this era.
The nickname of Uncrowned King is not something to be proud of.
At this time, Link slowly placed the basketball on the ground and raised his arms high.
The next second, the electronic beep sounded. A huge wave of sound surged into the field, causing James to almost be knocked to the ground.
Later, James realized that there was no sound at all.
His legs were simply weakened.
Almost, James was about to kneel on one knee in front of Link, who raised his arms.
"It's over, 4-1! With the lead in falling behind, the Grizzlies rose up and finally the gentleman swept the Cavaliers! The Grizzlies regained their things, and they won the championship trophy for the fourth time in five years! The great Link, he proved with practical actions that his rule over the league is not over yet!"
Mike Bryn's excitement was released, and he had been waiting for this moment for too long.
Since the Grizzlies were treated unfairly in the first quarter, Mike Bryn has been waiting for this moment.
He was still thinking at the time that if the Grizzlies could still win the game under such circumstances, it would be so relieved.
As a result, Mike Bryn is really proud now.
Looking at the final result of this game, Mike Bryn was so happy.
The alliance blocked everything, but there was no way to stop Link from fulfilling his promise.
It turns out that the greatest player can dominate the game under any circumstances!
Today is June 12, and Link said he will win the championship before the 13th of the due date, and he did it!
James walked towards Link silently and hugged him gently.
The two were still the same as before, without particularly deep hostility, but without too deep friendship.
Without saying a word, they left each other and distinguished themselves from each other.
James' seventh consecutive championship journey ended in a crushing defeat.
Afterwards, James hugged his old partner Wade.
"I said, this guy couldn't let you win." Wade patted James on the shoulder, feeling a little complicated.
"Congratulations, Dwyne. This time, your partner is a greater player." James smiled bitterly and walked straight to the player channel.
Wade looked at James's back and couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
A greater player...
Yes, he may be the greatest player of his time.
Wade still felt a little reluctant to James, but Link didn't have the heart to sigh at James' tragic fate.
He took the championship ball cap and championship T-shirt handed over by the staff, and then took the microphone from Stephen A. Smith, who was about to interview himself, and was about to jump onto the technical table.
Surprisingly, Link failed to complete the movements that have been repeated dozens of times in his career.
He was so tired that he didn't exert force when he just started jumping, so he couldn't jump onto the technical stage.
But soon, the Grizzlies players lifted Link directly onto the technical stage and pushed him to the "throne" with his own hands.
Mike Bryn was behind the technical stand, and he stood up from the chair and kept applauding.
I don’t know if it’s because of the angle, but Mike Brynn feels that Link is extremely tall today.
"This is dedicated to Memphis!" Link didn't say much nonsense, and shouted at the fans with the microphone.
And what greeted him was the cheers of the whole of Memphis.
That’s right, in addition to the Federal Express Arena, there are also a bunch of fans cheering in the streets and alleys of Memphis.
"Of course, it's dedicated to my teammates, my coaches." Link said, looking at Jokic, who was crying like a child, and looking at Nash who was secretly wiping his tears.
"Finally, this champion is also dedicated to my wife and the soon-to-be-born child!"
"Roar!" Hearing this, the fans yelled with Link.
Finally, Link looked at the No. 0 on his chest and the name on the side of his soles.
"This is also dedicated to you, man."
This is the most exciting time after Xu Link won the championship for the first time.
This championship is of great significance to him. If the previous three consecutive championships were just the beginning of his legend.
Then this three consecutive championships will be the beginning of his historical status!
When Link interacted with the fans on the technical stand, the on-site staff had already set up the podium with ease.
For the staff at the Federal Express Arena, no one has more experience in setting up podiums than them.
"Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell kept applauding, as if he could not wait to hand over the FMVP trophy to Link.
But Adam's joke was very stiff. He failed to prolong the finals after such a play. This was simply a shame.
Even those who play black can't play Link, so naturally they can't hold on to the joke.
Link was about to step onto the podium, but found that everyone was suddenly standing there.
"What's wrong? Go?" Link looked at everyone wonderingly, why didn't they come on stage?
At this time, Conley stood up and smiled at Link.
"You forgot? His Majesty the King first, Link."
After Conley finished speaking, everyone looked at Link with anticipation.
Link nodded slightly.
Yes, after a year, I almost forgot the tradition of the Federal Express Arena...
Link was the first to step onto the podium and walked straight to the joke.
"Thank you for the gift you have prepared for me, Mr. President, I like it very much."
The joke smiled awkwardly. He didn't know whether the "gift" Link refers to was this championship trophy or today's game.
The joke now dispels all the ideas that hinder Link. At least until the second decade of the 21st century is over, he will no longer make such bad ideas.
Since this is destined to be Link's era, let him go...
Link once again took over the heavy O'Brien Cup from the league president.
Chapter completed!
