That night, Link and Rachel snuggled up on each other on the sofa and watched the live broadcast of the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Since the Grizzlies and Warriors' super battle has been long-awaited by fans, most fans have focused on the Western Conference Finals this year.

So much so that the ratings of this year's Eastern Conference Finals have always been very worrying. Many people even don't know what the situation in the Eastern Conference is like.

But if someone, like Link, took out a night to watch the Eastern Conference Finals, he would definitely be quite surprised.

At this time, the series between the Cavaliers and the Hawks had reached the fourth game. The total score of the series was 3-0!

The Cleveland Cavaliers did not give the Hawks, who won 60 wins and ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and in every game, the Cavaliers almost forced the Hawks into a desperate situation!

The Hawks this season are not easy to mess with. Generally, Eastern teams that can win 60 wins are basically championship-level.

For example, the Heat, who won 66 in the 12-13 season, the Cavaliers, who won 61 in the 2009-10 season, and the Celtics, who won 66 in the 2007-08 season, etc.

This year, when the Hawks played a shattering offensive in the regular season and led the Cavaliers to enter the playoffs by 7 wins, people had high hopes for this "East Spurs".

In the first two rounds of the series, the Hawks did play very well. In the first round, they defeated the wealthy Nets 4-2, and in the second round, they also eliminated the energetic Wizards 4-2.

In the playoffs, the Hawks' ultimate team basketball is still very exciting. People say that Budenhozer will reshape the Spurs' glory in Atlanta.

However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Hawks met the Cavaliers and everything changed.

In all the three previous matches with the Cavaliers, the Eagles lost in a perfect state.

In the first game, the Hawks lost ten when they had the advantage, losing to J.R. Smith's magical 5 thirds in the second half.

In the second game, the Hawks lost 12 points "even more" and James completely destroyed the number one in the Eastern Conference with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists.

In the third game, the Eagles broke out across the board and were eager to win back the game. After all, this is their last chance to keep their hopes. If the total score becomes 3-0, then everything will be over.

What's the result? James's god came down to earth to score a large triple-double with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. While winning the game, he also surpassed Carl Malone in the total score list of the playoffs and ranked sixth in history.

So the Eagles could only face this desperate situation. 3 to 0, the Knights did it neatly.

No one expected that the Cavaliers would be so relaxed when facing the Eagles. Most importantly, James' performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

This season is perhaps the least popular season for James.

Link and Curry's two heroes, the 60+ wins of the Grizzlies and the Warriors' explosion, and the disappointing record of the Cavaliers themselves, all made James lose his former halo.

In this year's MVP vote, James' vote rate was only 11%, which was far behind Curry and Link. You should know that just a few years ago, he still won MVP in 4 years.

The whole world thinks that James is old and he is no longer the overlord of the past. But this tough No. 23 ends all suspicion with a series of beautiful victory.

The Cavaliers have only lost two games since the playoffs. This number is only one more game than the Grizzlies.

And tonight, James' performance was still explosive. There is no doubt that James no longer wants to waste time in the division finals.

His goal has always been not to be the Eastern Conference champion or the regular season first, but to be the championship!

James has been experiencing failures since the 12-13 season. He reached the finals for four consecutive years, but only took away one championship trophy.

Although he did get the coveted championship ring, this is not enough for James.

What he wants is to create a dynasty and build an era of his own, not just a championship ring.

Therefore, James did not give the Eagles any chance tonight!

From the first second of the game, James has firmly grasped the rhythm. With his attraction, Irving and Love also gained many opportunities to score easily.

As soon as the first quarter came, the Cavaliers took a 12-point lead. Without superstars, it was difficult for the Hawks to get the score closer even if they had three quarters of games.

Link looked at James running on the court and clenched his fists.

Yes, everyone thought James had fallen, and everyone thought that the era of "proud son of heaven" had come to an end.

But in fact, LeBron has always been Link's biggest enemy! He has always been the most powerful contender for the championship, and this has never changed.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you feel your whole body suddenly becomes tense? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Rachel hurriedly got up from Link's arms, afraid that he would press down on Link's wound.

"It's okay, I just saw an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, and I was a little excited." Link smiled. This year's finals still seem to be very interesting.

In the end, the Cavaliers slaughtered the Hawks 118-88 at home, leaving no good wishes for the first in the Eastern Conference.

4-0, clean and neat, James stepped onto the finals for the fifth consecutive year!

There is no sense of existence in the regular season and no highlights in the record? It doesn’t matter, just win the playoffs!

After the game, LeBron James was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

The Eastern Conference Finals this season are indeed very humble, because after the Cavaliers just scored a beautiful victory, today's interview questions are still related to the Western Conference Finals.

"LeBron, who do you think the Warriors and the Grizzlies will meet you in the finals?"

Faced with this problem, James just smiled, then pointed to the camera, "I know you're watching, I'm waiting for you."

After saying that, James turned around and left.

Many people were confused, and James answered it as if he didn't.

But Link knew that James was waiting for him!

"Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long." Link muttered and turned off the TV.

His duel with James cannot be interrupted by others.

Two days later, at the Federal Express Arena, the Golden State Warriors launched a desperate resistance.

Curry, Thompson and Green all showed their own unique skills.

This year, after all, there is an example of a 1-3 backward reversal before everyone. Therefore, the Warriors players did not give up easily and played very hard.

But the two games in Oakland have already gained great confidence in the Grizzlies.

No matter how fierce the Warriors' counterattack is, the Grizzlies can withstand it.

In this game, the two sides led alternately 22 times. However, the maximum score difference was only 7 points. This shows how intense the game was.

But in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Warriors were a little weak after all. They were unable to gain an advantage for a long time, which made their morale fall little by little.

In the last 27 seconds of the game, the Grizzlies only led the Warriors by 2 points. Stephen Curry got a chance to kill the game, but under high pressure, he finally failed to withstand and a three-pointer came out of the box.

After the past, Link, who was still wearing protective gear, made a jump shot from the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

This three-pointer was like Link pulling the trigger on the pistol.

The final possibility of the Golden State Warriors ended.

Most people make mistakes when facing high pressure, while only a small number of people will become more and more courageous in high pressure environments.

Link belongs to this category.

"5 points, Link's goal ended all the suspense of the game! There is still 1.3 seconds left for the Warriors. But even if there is one more second, the Warriors are powerless to make the day come back. Cheer, the Memphis Grizzlies survived the most difficult level before the finals! Now, Link will officially launch an attack towards three consecutive championships!"

The whole of Memphis was jubilant, 4 to 1. Although one step behind the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies still entered the finals for the third consecutive year without any danger.

Ribbons floated down the sky, and the on-site staff pushed the Western Conference Championship trophy into the field. The Grizzlies players hugged each other and celebrated each other.

Link couldn't make too intense celebrations with his teammates, so he stood in the middle of the court and applauded foolishly.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to have forgotten the Golden State Warriors. They didn't care at all when they left.

Draymond Green, who was walking in the player's passage, was extremely upset when the Grizzlies players were celebrating their third consecutive year of winning the Western Conference Championship trophy.

He really regretted that he didn't use any more force when he gave Link a elbow...

"Fuck!" Green punched the wall. The louder the cheers outside, the more angry he felt.

But Wangsheng is useless, he has already lost. He wants to take revenge, but he has to wait a year later!

One year later, one year later...

Green suddenly raised his head, took out his cell phone, and found a name in his address book that he had almost never contacted.

After thinking for a few seconds, Green sent a text message to the name.

"See what we're missing? We need you, come on."
