Chapter 176 Easy to win the third championship
The Grizzlies lost the game on their own road, putting them in an unfavorable situation in this series.
At the post-match press conference, Dunleavy Sr. looked livid. To this day, he still doesn't know what happened and why his players became so miserable.
"Tonight was just an accident. I think we will be able to adjust smoothly in the next game."
"The next game will still be our home court. Fans, don't worry, we will definitely not lose this time."
Dunleavy patted his chest and said confidently.
The reporters were also convinced by Dunleavy's words. After all, no matter how you look at it, the Grizzlies are definitely more powerful.
Fans also have the same idea. Although they think the Trail Blazers' record and strength this year are very dazzling, they are definitely not enough to compare with the Grizzlies.

As a result, after the second game, everyone was shocked.
The Grizzlies actually lost again, and this time it wasn't just a loss. They were outplayed by the Trail Blazers throughout the game!
In two consecutive home games, the Grizzlies lost both of them, and their hopes of advancing to the finals became slim.
In the entire history of the NBA, it is certainly not impossible to say that there are never any playoff series that can be advanced after losing the first two home games, but it is extremely rare.
Grizzlies fans are looking forward to it. The Grizzlies have created countless miracles in the past two years. Maybe they can also create miracles this year?
As a result, Jiang Dongbing poured cold water on them, and the next two Blazers eliminated the Grizzlies in one go.
Paul Allen was on the sidelines. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, he was as excited as a high school student confessing his success and rushed directly onto the court.
The Blazers actually made it to the Finals. Although the Blazers have never won championships in team history, it has nothing to do with Paul Allen.
Since Paul Allen took over the Blazers, the Blazers have never made it to the Finals, let alone a championship.
"Ginger, amazing Ginger, you are really God, the God on the sidelines!" Paul Allen hugged Jiang Dongbing tightly and praised without hesitation.
Jiang Dongbing was hugged by the excited Paul Allen and couldn't breathe, so he quickly pulled Paul Allen away.
"Paul, maybe you should calm down. We are just qualifying for the finals, and we haven't really won the championship yet."
Paul Allen refused directly, "Jiang, are you kidding me? I won't allow you to insult yourself like this."
"Now that we have all rushed out of the West, even the Grizzlies are no match for us."
"Are you going to lose to those teams in the Eastern Conference? Come on, since the Bulls disintegrated in the Eastern Conference, they have been destined not to win a championship for many years to come."
"I think it's time to start preparing for the championship parade."
"By the way, I want to prepare the best champagne and cigars, and also create the most exquisite championship ring!"
Paul Allen started throwing money away again after a disagreement.
…
The grizzly bear generals looked ashen as they could not believe the reality in front of them.
They actually lost to the Trail Blazers? And they were swept 4:0 by the Trail Blazers? In any case, this result is too unacceptable.
If our side is short of major generals, then losing to the Trail Blazers is still acceptable.
But now they have a complete lineup and not one of their main players is missing.
Or it could be said that the loss was unjust, for example, the Trail Blazers were narrowly defeated 4:3, and the Trail Blazers made a last-minute buzzer beater, so it is not unacceptable to the Grizzlies players.
Now being directly swept, of course the players cannot accept it.
After returning to the locker room, Dunleavy Sr. yelled angrily, because this disastrous defeat not only meant that the Grizzlies could not win the championship, but his career was basically over.
With a lineup like the Grizzlies, only to have his head shaved off, this is enough to prove how bad Dunleavy's coaching ability is. Which team will be willing to hire the old Dunleavy as head coach in the future.
Thinking that his coaching career was completely ruined, Dunleavy Sr. completely lost control.
As for the Grizzlies players, none of them are soft persimmons. Jiang Dongbing himself has a soft spot for players with unique personalities. Faced with the old Dunleavy's scolding, the boss Jackson directly flipped the table.
"Mike, maybe you should think carefully about whether you are qualified to be the head coach of this team."
"Why did Coach Jiang lead us to win two championship trophies?"
"Why can't you even lead us to the finals without changing the lineup!"
"I, Jackson, have left my words here. If the team doesn't fire you, a terrible coach, I will ask for a transfer."
Jackson spoke harshly and showed no mercy to Dunleavy at all.
David and O'Brien were not in a good mood. Their performance in this series was extremely poor. Faced with Dunleavy's accusations, they were unable to refute.
But fortunately, Jackson was there to help them.
"you……"
Dunleavy was so angry that Jackson was speechless, and turned around and left the locker room.
…
The Trail Blazers successfully won a ticket to the finals, and their opponent was the Pacers coached by Bird.
In fact, before the start of the season, Jiang Dongbing already knew that the team in the Eastern Conference that could reach the finals this year would definitely be the Pacers.
It's not just because Jiang Dongbing knows the lineup for this year's finals, but also because the Pacers are indeed the strongest in the Eastern Conference right now.
But although the strength is the best in the East, on the West side, the Pacers' strength is completely inadequate.
Not to mention the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Lakers, they might not be able to withstand the Spurs.
Just as Paul Allen predicted, after four games, the Pacers were cleanly shaved and became the foil for the Trail Blazers to win the cup.
Paul Allen did indeed keep his word and bought the best champagne and cigars for the players to celebrate after winning the championship.
Jiang Dongbing did not join in the celebrations. This was already his third championship trophy. Winning the championship was just a piece of cake for him. There was really no excitement at all.
Instead of celebrating the championship, it's better to focus on how to get more benefits from the Grizzlies.
The championship parade lasted for three full days, and Jiang Dongbing convened the team management to discuss the trading plan for the new season.
"What?"
"Coach Jiang, are you going to trade Rasheed for the Grizzlies' Jermaine?"
"Jermaine was originally a player for our Trail Blazers, but was later bought by Coach Jiang to the Grizzlies. His performance during this period was indeed outstanding, but in the Western Conference Finals, his performance was completely inferior to Rasheed."
"This deal is really a loss. Rashid is far more stable than Jermaine."
Many people expressed disbelief when they heard that Jiang Dongbing wanted to trade Rasheed for Xiaoao.
During the regular season, O'Brien's performance was indeed better than Rashid's, but it was only the regular season after all.
