231 Grand Final!
Finals!
May 31, 2018, 8 p.m. CT, Houston. The Toyota Center Arena welcomes two of the highest level opponents.
The Houston Rockets at home.
Visiting Cleveland Cavaliers.
Compete for the glittering O'Brien Cup.
Fans of the home team still feel that Yang Yiming defeated Durant with a block five days ago and sent the Rockets to the finals for the first time in more than 20 years, as if they had won the championship. Some fans simply praised Yang Yiming's shot with The Block (the unique here), which is comparable to Jordan's shot against the Cavaliers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference in 1989. As a result, when I came to my senses, it was still the Cleveland Knights: I had cleaned up the landlords and gentry in the west for a long time, and there was still such a mountain in the east.
Reached the finals for four consecutive years, and the first three times had a gold cup in the account.
The victory happened to be the Golden State Warriors, whom the Rockets had just picked off.
Breaking into the finals for four consecutive years and dominating the East, even if you are a fierce soldier, even if you are a young hero, you are still the mountain of Ohio that kills you to the death. Throughout the long history of the NBA, there have only been four such insurmountable mountains.
This time, the person sitting on the top of the mountain is actually far older than the history of this mountain.
LeBron James.
Since the day he joined the league, the stars of the entire East have actually become the courtiers of the "Little Emperor". He's been ruling the East for years, but this time this time he's no longer in the flesh. After fifteen years of fighting and killing, all that remained in the body of the man in the mountain was the unbreakable steel bones and endless iron blood.
The imperial flag, which has been planted for fifteen years, will eventually have a time to flutter.
The storm of this year's playoffs has come particularly violently. It was so violent that the flagpole shook, the flag fluttered, the palace hall was filled with wind, and the bricks and tiles fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. When the wall was about to fall, the man had no choice but to leave the throne, hold on to the wall by himself, resist the beams, add tiles, carry Fang Tian's halberd, put on armor and gloves, and kill from the temple!
This fight, from the first game of the playoffs to today, has lasted for more than a month. The battle was fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, but when everyone thought that the king's twilight was about to fall, a towering figure like a mountain came out. Or him! He brushed aside the clouds and moon, and the sky gave light again; Only rivers of blood flowed from the front of the temple, and they were splashed on him like a hot brand, kissing on his dark skin.
LeBron James.
I don't know how he feels. There was no fluctuation in his resolute face, but in his heart, during this war, I don't know if he remembered anything: in the most dangerous and isolated moment of his career, maybe he remembered his youth instead. The age of tireless things. He was still the challenger of this world, he could fight the whole world alone, he could fight hard, because there was nothing to lose. He goes to heaven and earth, omnipotent, basketball is like the romance of him and his first love, he sweats and hormones, and he does not hesitate...
But at some point, the basketball seemed to have become a heavy burden, a treasure buried in the underground chest of his palace that could not be lost. The world is spinning, and he is arranged to sit on the ground where the iron box is buried, like the evil dragon who guards the treasure at the end of the RPG game, day after day, year after year, waiting for the challenge.
Such a day is hard to see to the end.
The Golden State Warriors, as challengers, have also been here for three years. Lost once, won once, and then they wrapped up the strongest shooter, and he lost again. Snatching the glittering O'Brien Cup, the "Warriors" defeated the dragons.
The evil dragon originally had minions and thugs, but as a result, the one who was his closest confidant had already spread the news that he had set up another mountain. Also, the wings of the evil dragon cover the sky and the sun, and there are countless imps hidden underneath, but they cannot accommodate another heart that wants to be king. Everything was toppled and restarted, the rivers were rushing, the mud and sand were falling, and the dragon found a new helper, a helper who didn't seem very effective. So in the spring of the thirty-three-year-old, Wang seemed to go back to the eighteen-year-old year, his youth was invincible, and he blocked a thousand with one.
LeBron James.
And so he was standing here, as always. The "Warriors" changed into red, and there was another "James" with the same name in the lineup, but everything else was still a very familiar scene.
The only difference is probably that for the first time in his life, that person is so despised in this way. old, crippled, tired; The coach is not good, the teammates are not good, the tactics are not good. Success may only come from the word "strong", but the reasons for decline cannot be said. Not to mention the fact that the red-clad Rockets had just beaten the defending champion Warriors, who were widely considered the strongest team on the roster, and the former's 40-plus win in the regular season in Cleveland alone made it feel like it wasn't even a league matchup.
What looked like a one-sided game was about to begin, and LeBron stood in the middle of the court and looked around with his sword drawn. Today in the stands was a sea of red, bright red, slightly different from the deep burgundy of the Cavaliers' home court. This piece of red, but there are also gold embellishments in it, but in the Toyota Center in Houston, this gold embellishment is by no means close to the color scheme of the Cavaliers: the gold is the poster and model of the championship trophy, as well as the gold letters of MVP and FMVP, given to the "James" opposite; There are also fans who gave Chris Paul a golden papal crown: "St. Paul", even the "Eastern Power" Yang Yiming, who once blocked his killer ball and blocked Durant in the last round of the Western Conference Finals, has also begun to have his own touch of yellow skin in the Red Sea, which is easy to recognize.
Only LeBron's supporters are hard to find, and the red and gold banners of the Cleveland Cavaliers are drowned in the undulating Red Sea.
LeBron James pulled a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth, and he threw the last warm-up three-pointer, took off his training clothes, and walked to the technical table. After greeting several old-faced technical desk officials, he carefully pounced on magnesium powder on both hands and took a deep breath.
Slap your palms forward.
The scattered magnesium powder turned into a cloud of smoke in the air, and the lights of the arena suddenly dimmed, and the beam of light swept by, and the smoke also changed its corresponding color, as if it was magical. This demonic smoke slowly dispersed, and the silhouette of a mountain-shaped man was reflected, and the immovable appearance was indeed unchanged for so many years.
LeBron James.
Ten minutes later, the Rockets and Cavaliers jumped the ball in the center circle, and the ball would go to the visiting team, and the man would force his way through the defense of Yang Yiming and Paul, and beat Capela to make a layup to score the first point of the game.
Finals!
