No one would have thought that the Lakers would be eliminated by the Grizzlies, not even the Grizzlies themselves.

The Grizzlies coached by Rone Jerry have been regular visitors to the Western Conference playoffs for the past two years, although they have not reached the Western Conference finals, but their strength has been recognized by many people, but even Ron Jerry himself did not expect that they could actually eliminate the Lakers, and they were eliminated so easily.

In the first game, the Lakers played fairly normal, with the Grizzlies having a dull offense, a low shooting percentage, and a 109-94 loss without temper.

But entering the second game, the Grizzlies changed the decline of the previous game and played with amazing efficiency, the Lakers messed up, and the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to pull back a game.

Back in Memphis, the Grizzlies played extremely smoothly with the advantage of the home court, while the Lakers seemed to be suffering from the Grizzlies' first game, not to mention all kinds of mistakes, and also played a shooting percentage of only 20 to 5.

104-81, the Grizzlies won their first big game.

Game 4 was still the home of the Grizzlies, the Lakers were still in a slump, and head coach Bracha seemed to have irreconcilable conflicts with Stelle Carter, and the two sides did not communicate during the game.

The Grizzlies didn't play well in this game, but the Lakers performed even more badly, 100-87, and the Grizzlies held three match points.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles and were met with widespread criticism, with Bracha still stubborn, saying his enemy was Wang Lei, not Lons Jerry.

However, Lakers core Stellary Carter publicly accused Bracha of being a racist, which completely detonated public opinion.

The turbulent Lakers welcomed the Grizzlies who were looking forward to the Western Conference finals, and the result of the game made Bracha very disappointed, and the players didn't listen to what he said and what else to expect.

4-1, the Grizzlies eliminated the Lakers to reach the Western Conference Finals.

The league's long-awaited reunion between the Runners and the Lakers did not take place, and they wanted to help the Lakers, but the Lakers themselves were not competitive at all.

At the end of May 2022, the Western Conference Finals will be played before the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Runners are at home to take on the Grizzlies.

Wang Lei's team has a natural advantage against Lons Jerry's team, and although the Grizzlies' classic pick-and-roll performance is good offensively, they lack enough outside defenders defensively, and Paster Manny on the inside does not show much advantage against the growing Elwin.

In the past, Paster Manny could use his height to bully Erwin, but Erwin has grown more than eight centimeters taller in the past two years, and his height is no longer a defect.

If they can't prevent the Runners' offense, the Grizzlies can't beat the Runners, all they can do is ensure their offensive success rate, and then expect the Runners' mistakes.

However, the Runners who entered the Western Conference Finals played almost flawlessly, and although the Grizzlies scored 120 points in the first game, they were still unable to defeat the Runners who scored 131 points.

The development of Game 2 was almost indistinguishable from Game 1, with the Grizzlies still unable to defend and Rons Jerry's on-court command remaining sluggish.

128-119, the Grizzlies didn't lose too badly.

Coming to Memphis, the Runners first slowed down to play defense, and in the face of the changes of the Runners, Ronce Jerry finally made a mistake, he replaced the team's defensive interior line, ready to strengthen the offense, and now Erwin has enough room to play.

In this game, all seven members of the Runners scored double-doubles, and Erwin scored 34 points alone, dominating the inside of the court.

The Grizzlies, who fell behind 3-0, failed to give the Runners much trouble in Game 4, and Wang Lei even let the starters rest after playing less than three quarters, and the Grizzlies couldn't even do the Runners' bench after losing confidence in the game.

The Runners, who swept three rounds in a row and performed miracles in the regular season, are still performing miracles in the playoffs.

The Runners, who were the first to reach the Finals, welcomed their Finals opponents in June, the Celtics.

The league's favourites James Hart and Dwyane Wall fell to the Celtics one after another, and they proved that defense is still one of the league's dominant tactics.

The Celtics, who tried to restore the glory of the year, played an extremely tenacious performance in this playoffs, and in the three rounds of the playoffs, the Celtics all entered the tie-break, and all of them won the final victory, I have to say that their willpower is tenacious enough and hard enough.

However, playing three rounds of tie-break also shows that the Celtics still have flaws in defense, and the lack of offensive strength is a problem they have always had.

In the face of the strong Runners, although the Celtics were still tenacious in the first game, and could even be described as iron-blooded, it was the Runners who laughed at the end.

Turgun dominated the game today, scoring 47 points in a single game, adding 13 assists and shooting 7-of-10 from three-point range, making the Celtics desperate.

114-103, the Celtics lost their first game.

In the second game, Turgun was tightly packed, but even so, he still made the Celtics feel desperate, and Turgon, who had been holding the ball today, frequently committed fouls after being trapped, and his 100% free throw shooting rate made the Celtics regret it.

At the end of the game, the Celtics left the court with four players, three of whom put fouls on Turgon, and Turgon, who shot very low in this game, scored 41 points again, and he made 21 of 21 free throws, setting a new record for the league finals.

The Runners, who came to Boston in the third game, were confronted by the Celtics' frantic defense, and the Celtics' all-encompassing defensive strategy interrupted the game for a while, and the anger of both sides was aroused.

Blair was ejected in the third quarter, along with Celtics' defensive stalwart Sammons.

But Turgun's two three-pointers just before the end of the fourth quarter undid all of the Celtics' efforts.

The Celtics, who were 3-0 down, did not create a miracle in Game 4, as they lost Sammons and lost the Athletics, while the Runners were without Blair, but Turgon's strong performance remained solid.

119-99, the Runners swept the Celtics without any suspense, and they also won their second championship with a complete victory, a miracle that no one could have surpassed before the league's format overhaul.

The Runners, who won the championship in this way, undoubtedly became the strongest team in the history of the league, and their miracles will be immortalized in the history books.

Wang Lei also became the world's No. 1 coach through this general competition, and his reputation spread all over the world.

Many years later, when Wang Lei announced his complete retirement, he opened his trophy collection room to the media, and the trophies that filled two large rooms shocked everyone.

Among all these trophies, what Wang Lei and his wife Ma Dongmei cherish the most is undoubtedly the Women's Volleyball World Championship Championship Trophy and the Women's Volleyball World Championship trophy they won together.

When the white-haired Ma Dongmei pushed the wheelchair-bound Long King Kong away, people recited not only the glory they had obtained, but also the legendary love story between them.
