1188: Mr. Joke panics
132-113, after the Cavaliers beat the Grizzlies lightly in the last game, the Grizzlies also played an unexpected game.
You know, the knights have a lot of fun in the east.
Faced Paul in the first round. George's Pacers, the Cavaliers swept cleanly 4-0.
In the second round, the Cavaliers faced the Raptors, who had a very good regular season record, and the Cavaliers were able to stretch the final point difference to double digits in three of their four games.
Although the Celtics lost one game in the third round, it gave the impression that the Cavaliers only needed a little effort to pull the difference to 30 points at any time!
This is the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they are the kings of the East. No Eastern Conference team can survive James' attack.
There is not even the slightest hope of victory.
While it's widely accepted that the Grizzlies' hard power is slightly stronger than the Cavaliers, it's only slightly stronger.
After all, there is no doubt about the dominance of the knights in the east.
It's just that I didn't expect that when the Cavaliers didn't have a magic three-point bonus, the difference in strength between the two sides would be so huge.
After the second game of the finals, the fans were quite disappointed.
They suddenly realized that the best round of this year's playoffs might have been over by the end of the Western Conference Finals.
Some fans even think: "It's unfair to let the strongest in the East and the strongest in the West compete for the championship, and it's only fair for the first and second in the West to compete for the championship." ”
It may break the hearts of many Eastern Conference fans to say that, but it's true.
The Grizzlies' previous Western Conference Finals with the Warriors were much more interesting than the Finals.
Hit a triple-double in the same game and team, scored 51 points in a single game, and counter-lore...... Just hearing those words is enough to get the fans excited.
However, all of this disappeared in the finals.
Of course, Cleveland fans don't think so. They still firmly believe that when LeBron. When James returned to Cleveland, he was able to do wonders.
The Cavaliers won so easily in the East this year, it's impossible to be defenseless against the Grizzlies, right?
Owen and Love are so healthy, they can't compare to the group of young people around Link, right?
They still have illusions, and even many local Cleveland media shouted: "The Cavaliers can defend all two home courts, because so far in this year's playoffs, the Cavaliers have not lost a single game at home!" ”
To this, Link's response was very calm: "Everything has firsts, why can't we be the team that made the Cavaliers lose at home for the first time?" ”
Kobe Bryant frantically liked the video of Link's interview on the Internet, and he liked the way Link spoke.
Link hasn't forgotten his commitment to Nash, to his teammates, to the world.
And if you want to keep your promise, you have to win two games in a row in Cleveland!
Therefore, Link will not let up.
While it was a bit cruel to James and the Cavaliers, Link would not let that determine.
On June 7, the third game of the NBA Finals officially started at the Cleveland Quick Loan Center Arena.
Cleveland fans are eager for James to lead the team back to the lead and extend the Cavaliers' playoff winning streak at the Quickloan Center.
James is indeed working in this direction, and today James played very aggressively, and even Link couldn't do anything with James.
On the court, James is like a lion who has gone completely berserk. His only goal on the court is to kill you at any cost, even if you are bruised!
So, in the whole game, James played 46 minutes and scored 39 points with a shooting rate of 55.6%!
Even Durant, who has more scoring tools, can't put that kind of stat on Link.
In addition to James, Kelly. Irving also had 38 points on his account today, and he did his job perfectly as a second-in-command.
If you just look at the statistics of James and Irving, many people must think that the winner is the Cavaliers.
But unfortunately, at the end of the game, the fans in the entire Quickloan Center arena were silent.
118-113, the Grizzlies completely reversed the situation in the final moments with Link's two key three-pointers.
Once again, Link dominated the game at crucial moments. Once again, Link made the opposition player's brilliant performance worthless.
"2-1, the Grizzlies really became the first team in the playoffs this season to win at the Quickloan Center Arena. LeBron and Irving played very well, but the Grizzlies are by no means a match that can be won by just two people. ”
Mike. Brin looked at the Cavaliers' stat sheet, and the entire team couldn't find a third player who was okay except for Irving and James.
Love, the Cavaliers' third-biggest man, suffered a waterloo today after two games in a row.
In the whole game, Lefu shot 1 of 9, and only 1 of 7 shots outside the three-point line, and only 9 points were scored in the whole game!
As the number three in a team, the number one in a single game is less than double figures.
It's no wonder if the knight can win.
On the Grizzlies side, in addition to Link, Gasol, Conley, Wade and others also played at the level.
Link's stats today were not as good as James', with only 29 points.
But it's not because Link isn't strong, it's because Link doesn't need to shoot as crazy as James at all.
A lot of times, Link would leave things to his teammates, and his teammates would be able to easily help him out.
In terms of scoring, Link doesn't have to do it himself in every round like James now and himself last season.
Conley 21 points, Wade 20 and Gasol 16......
The Grizzlies almost completely suppressed the Cavaliers, paving the way for Link to kill the game at key moments later.
After this game, even Cleveland fans were completely disappointed.
James has played such a good performance in two consecutive games, but the Cavaliers have also lost two games in a row at the feet of the Grizzlies.
Once one of James and Irving can't continue to play like today, the Cavaliers will only lose even more!
And such a conjecture was indeed fulfilled in the fourth game of the finals.
The two sides met for the fourth time, and the battlefield was still in the quick loan center. But today, the performance of James, Irving and Love has begun to tending to be mediocre.
In such a situation, the Grizzlies led the Cavaliers by 14 points at halftime.
After the half-time game, there was a large gap in the stands of the Quick Loan Center Arena!
TV ratings have dropped to the freezing point!
The ratings of today's game can't even reach half of the Western Conference Finals!
For the league, this is definitely a round of the finals that is extremely stretched.
At the end of each season, the Grand Finals should be the best part.
In 08 and 10, the battle between the Celtics and the Lakers made the fans passionate.
The finals between the Heat and the Mavericks in 06 can be described as ups and downs.
The '05 Finals between the Spurs and Pistons was called the most boring Finals in history, but both sides fought quite intensely except for not scoring much.
It's good now that the Finals, with the two superstars James and Link, can't bring the expected benefits to the league.
At the end of the half, it was clear to the fans that the Cavaliers were running out of confidence.
Just like the previous Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, the Cavaliers led by 40 points at halftime in the second game, and the Celtics players were already stunned on the court.
Although the gap in the Finals is not as big as the gap in the Eastern Conference Finals, the reason is the same, and fans can feel that some people have no fighting spirit through the screen.
For such a game, it's no wonder that the ratings can rise.
The final score of the game was 113-91, and James scored 28 points on 45 percent shooting. Irving scored 24 points and shot 45.5 percent from the field. Lefu scored 15 points and shot 30.8% from the field.
Compared to the previous three games, the performance of the Cavaliers Big Three today is really unremarkable.
But the Grizzlies, as always, were able to maintain their level. Once again, the Grizzlies won easily.
The total score of the series has also become 3-1, and the Grizzlies successfully got the match point!
For the next game, the battlefield will move to the Federal Express Arena.
As long as the Grizzlies can win this home court again, they will regain the O'Brien Cup after a year's absence.
As long as he wins again, Link can go back to guard the birth of his child in peace.
Grizzlies fans cheered at the result, but many neutral fans and the media quit.
"In the summer of 2001, I watched Iverson rush in like a bag of explosives, and I couldn't even blink my eyes! I can't wait for that round of the finals to end, because it's so exciting! But this year's finals ...... Please, Link, hurry up. ”
"It's definitely the biggest gap in strength in history, and I don't think Link even has a hard time."
"Grizzlies are going to win? So did you have any impressive shots from this round of the finals? ”
After the end of the fourth game, the discontent of fans and the media grew louder.
The gold content and gold absorption of the NBA Finals seem to be plummeting.
The joke was completely panicked, and he couldn't let this situation continue.
The golden sign of the NBA Finals can't be ruined by yourself.
So at the very moment when the Grizzlies were about to win the cup, the joke began to take emergency measures to deal with the situation of the cliff-like drop in ratings......
