800: More than just 4 to 0

Every June midsummer, the basketball world becomes as hot as the temperature.

At this time of year, two teams that broke through the east and west teams will meet on the stage of the finals. In the seven-game four-win game, which team wins four games first, they will win the final championship trophy, the most valuable trophy in the basketball world.

So every year in the finals, almost all the bayonets are matched. After all, the two teams that can meet in the finals have eliminated three teams, which means that these two teams are the best in the league. Each team will do its best, even exceed the limit, and compete for the victory of each game.

Therefore, the Finals are the most intense and best-looking in almost all the playoff games.

In the 2010 Finals, the two old rivals, Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, contributed a wonderful tiebreak battle to the fans.

In terms of defensive intensity and physical confrontation level, this tiebreak battle may be one of the top tiebreak battles in the history of the NBA Finals. At that time, the total score of the two sides was only about 80 points per game, the Lakers' team's shooting percentage was 32.5%, and the Celtics were 40%. The players of both sides had physical conflicts on the court more than once, which shows the intensity.

In the 1994 finals, it was also a round of "real men" competition. The teams of both sides averaged 86.9 points and 86.1 points. Olajuwon, Ewing and Charles Oakley presented fans with wonderful and cruel inside hand-to-hand fight.

Going forward 10 years later, the tiebreak between the Lakers and the Celtics in 1984 was synonymous with the fierce battle in the finals.

It was in that round of the series that there was a "clothesline" foul that now seemed to be unethical, and there was also a problem of "damage" of the stadium air conditioner.

Of course, unlike the air conditioning in the Federal Express Arena a few days ago, the air conditioning in North Shore Garden was turned off by artificially instructed by Auerbach!

When Jabbar recalled in the future, he felt that the game was like hell. "How hot is the North Shore Garden Arena? I guess it's like in the sauna, you did 100 push-ups in your clothes, and then you came back to play the 48-minute game, and we were like walking in the mud."

Auerbach himself is quite proud of this, "The Lakers players are too pampered. We train in such a harsh environment every day, and we are used to it. Therefore, the Lakers' victory over the Celtics will never happen."

Therefore, it is no exception to say that the NBA finals are a war in civilized society.

But not all finals are so intense, and not all finals will play to the tiebreak.

The Bulls No. 23, who is regarded as "God", has never played tiebreak in the finals. He can always solve his opponents before seven games.

In the history of the NBA Finals, there have been one of the few examples of 4-0 sweeps.

The earliest finals sweep occurred in 1959, when the Boston Celtics swept the Minneapolis Lakers won the championship. Then there was the Milwaukee Bucks swept the Baltimore Bullet in 1971, the Golden State Warriors swept the Washington Bullet in 1975, the Philadelphia 76ers swept the Los Angeles Lakers in 1983, the Detroit Pistons swept the Los Angeles Lakers in 1989, and the Houston Rockets swept the Orlando Magic in 1995.

Since the 21st century, there have been two examples of sweeping the finals.

Once it was in 2002, and that era was completely the Lakers era.

The Lakers have won two consecutive championships in the previous two seasons under Kobe and O'Neal. The momentum is in full swing. The league is trembling because of the strong dominance of the "ok combination". This year is also the year when the Lakers are preparing to achieve three consecutive championships and create the Lakers dynasty.

The New Jersey Nets were the Eastern Conference champion that time. As we all know, the unrivaled Lakers finally swept the Nets 4-0 without giving any chance to the mobile phone, and established the last three consecutive championship dynasty in the NBA so far.

As for another 4-0 final in the 21st century, it was the Spurs and the Cavaliers in 2007. There is no doubt that it is also the biggest pain point in James' career so far.

Although James led the Cavaliers to the finals alone, he has proved his greatness. But even so, it is still hard to hide his immatureness.

The Spurs had head coach Popovich on the side and Duncan, Ginobili and Parker underneath. So, the Quds Legion swept James without bloodshed. After the game, Duncan also said to James the famous "The future is yours."

With all the plans, the NBA history has seen a 4-0 finals in the finals, only 8 times. Most of the time, the finals will develop in a more intense and cruel direction.

So, when Link said in a press conference that he hoped to resolve the fight 4-0, he made the headlines again.

"Link wants to sweep the Heat with the Big Three? This is simply a dream! If you have to win 4 games in the series, you will be considered a real win. Link will definitely pay the price for his pride!"

"I don't know what Link is thinking. Since the 21st century, the teams that were swept in the finals are not very strong. But Miami Heat, this is a team that can be ranked first in NBA history!"

"Link may have forgotten that they beat the Heat by 5 points in the last game. The gap between the Heat and the Grizzlies has not reached 4-0 yet!"

Link got up the next day and saw that, sure enough, the public opinion was completely exploded.

How big was it? The things that made him record two records in one game were drowned out by the overwhelming screams and scolds.

Once again, Link became a villain.

But is he really so evil? His original intention was just to tell the Miami reporter what respect is.

But there is no way. When your image of a villain has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, everything you do is bad. It's like Snyder's bad guy's face, even with a friendly smile, is like the big villain in the movie smiling evilly.

Fortunately, Link has never cared about the media’s views on him, and what Link said is indeed the most real thoughts in his heart.

4 to 0, not because Link wanted to humiliate the Heat or whatever, but just simply wanted to win the championship as soon as possible.

Fans may like to play fierce battles that are tiebreakers, but as Link's players, they don't want any intense games.

He is not a Saiyan in the middle school. He can obviously solve his opponent with one blow, but he has to drag it to the end for the so-called pleasure and fun of fighting.

He just wants to win the championship as soon as possible, start the holiday as soon as possible, and get ashore safely as soon as possible. Of course, it is also good to prepare for three consecutive championships as soon as possible.

That's right, three consecutive championships!

After the finals in 2002, no team has achieved three consecutive championships. Although the Spurs' five-year three-time championship is considered a dynasty. To be honest, the dynasty with three-time championships in five years is far less convincing than the dynasty established by three consecutive championships.

Since you have done it twice, why not work hard for the third time?

People say that human desires are endless. Even if you make 10 million, you will not be satisfied, but will rack your brains to get 20 million.

However, after entering NBA, Link found that his desire for money is not very strong now. He is already quite satisfied with his current assets.

So for a while, Link once questioned that sentence. He believed that human desires also have boundaries.

However, Link now found that he had only boundaries for money. But his desire for victory and championship is indeed endless!

After winning the championship last year, Link wanted to win the championship. Before he won the championship this year, Link was not only thinking about 4-0, but already wanted to establish a dynasty!

Since we have all gained such strong ability to reverse growth, if we don’t become the best player in history, what’s the point?

Thinking of this, Link immediately turned off his phone and began to pack the luggage he needed to go to Miami.

He didn't bring too much, because he believed that after two games, he wouldn't have to go back to the South Coast.
