1187: The transaction is complete

LeBron James sat on the bench with a expressionless face.

He looked at the players running on the court and was very disappointed.

In the last game, he and his team won a big victory at the Federal Express Arena.

After that, he even fantasized about winning the championship trophy for Cleveland.

Of course James knew that 1-0 lead could not be said.

But that victory at least gave James the hope and possibility of winning in the series.

However, James' beautiful fantasy lasted not long, and was ruthlessly broken by Link and his teammates today.

At this time, the game had reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Logically speaking, such a critical moment should be exactly when James was playing his role, and he shouldn't have sat on the bench at this time.

If James sat on the bench at such a desperate moment, there was only one possibility - the Cavaliers had already lost their power of resistance.

"The game is still two minutes to end, but the score difference still has no intention of narrowing. The Grizzlies lead the Cavaliers by 21 points, and their counterattack is really too fierce."

Mike Bryn's commentary surprised many fans who had just returned to the stage.

Grizzlies lead the Cavaliers by 21 points? What's going on?

The Cavaliers beat the Grizzlies more than 20 points in the last game because of a record-breaking three-pointer.

Today, the Grizzlies immediately returned all of them. What is the point of relying on?

No matter how unbearable the Knight is, no matter how unfavorable it is, it will not be abused like this by the Grizzlies.

So, many fans quickly looked at the Grizzlies' data today. They thought to themselves that Link must have exploded again today and must have produced very exaggerated data again, which completely lost the suspense of the game.

However, Link's data bar only contains 33 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists.

Is this data bad? Of course it is not bad, but it is very outstanding.

A 30-point triple-double in the finals is an achievement that Kobe and Jordan have never achieved before.

However, with Link's strength, this data is indeed not an exaggeration.

After all, Link had already performed a triple-double with 40 points this year in the playoffs. In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, he even played with Jokic in the same game and scored triple-double with the same team.

Since Link's data is so "ordinary", how did the Grizzlies win so much?

After continuing to look at the Grizzlies' data sheet, fans found unexpected answers.

Spencer Dinwiddie made 5 of 8 shots from outside the three-point line today, scoring 32 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in the game, and the score was only 1 point less than Link!

He fully interprets the role of a dual-powered guard.

Although this data is not as good as Link, it is really exaggerated to Dinwiddie.

Who would have thought that a substitute guard of the Grizzlies and was a defender who spent the first year of his career in the Development League, and that last season, finally played the ball in the NBA, could actually explode in the finals!

In the past, perhaps only Grizzlies fans and other fans who are more concerned about the Grizzlies game knew Dinwiddie's name.

But now, as long as you are a basketball fan, you will know who Spencer Dinwiddie is!

"The Grizzlies' counterattack was indeed too fierce. After defeating the Cavaliers in the last game, they immediately took out the most powerful counterattack. I think that's why so many people are optimistic about the Grizzlies' championship."

Van Gundy, who was very optimistic about the Cavaliers at the beginning, could only keep shaking his head.

The Cavaliers' performance today is not bad. James scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 56%.

In terms of today's performance and data, he was almost exploding with Link.

Love's touch is still hot, with 27 points in the whole game and a shooting percentage of 52.7%.

Irving was badly guarded by Dinwiddie today, but he also scored 19 points.

The Cavaliers scored 75 points in a combined manner. If all of these performances are considered bad, it would be too harsh.

But this is exactly the most helpless thing. The Cavaliers' performance is already so outstanding that they even lost to the Grizzlies more than 20 points!

How big is the gap between the two sides to play such a game...

"Dinwiddie's performance was definitely an unexpected factor. Since he scored two three-pointers in the end of the first quarter, he has been out of control throughout the game. This double-aware guard has shown his potential, and his first finals trip is absolutely perfect. Link's firepower is already enough for the Cavaliers to have a drink. Now, another Dinwiddie appears, and the Cavaliers are completely thrown away."

Mike Brin admitted that even he didn't expect the Grizzlies to win so much.

He knew that the Cavaliers were unlikely to hit the three-pointer in two consecutive games, but he also didn't expect the Grizzlies to win so easily.

Perhaps, the gap between the Grizzlies and the Knights is larger than people think...

As we chatted, the electronic beeps rang throughout the audience.

The fans in the Federal Express Arena finally had reason to cheer in the finals. 132 to 113, the Grizzlies took advantage of their previous shame at home.

At the moment the game ended, James' heart skipped a beat.

Although the total score was only tied, James was already very desperate.

Because he found that after a year of repeated finals, the Grizzlies not only did not decline, but were still stronger than before!

James stood up, his eyes vaguely.

Next, the battlefield of the game will be transferred to Cleveland and back to his home court.

This was an exciting moment, but James was not very confident.

This may be the first time ever, James almost lost confidence after only two games in the Finals...

This defeat really hit the Cavaliers too much.

On the Grizzlies, Dinwiddie, who made 32 points in the finals for the second time, was running around the stadium excitedly.

The rest of the Grizzlies are also hugging each other to celebrate their first victory in the finals.

At this time, the calmest people in the Grizzlies' team were Link and Nash.

The two stood together with their waists, as if they were talking about something.

"How is it? Dinwiddie's performance is not bad." Looking at Dinwiddie running on the court, Nash's tone was full of pride.

"He is simply the biggest star today, thank you, Steve."

"Thank me?" Nash looked at Link, thinking he was wrong.

"Yes, thank you. I know, you must have made a lot of determination to join the Grizzlies last summer. After all, the Warriors looked more champion than we did, and everyone said they would build a dynasty. However, you still chose Memphis. Thank you, Steve. Thank you for your trust and for everything you did for the team. Without you, and without Spencer's performance today."

Link's expression was very serious, which showed that those were all his heartfelt words.

In addition to the outstanding performance of the players, there are also many people working hard behind the scenes.

The chief team doctor Moon, who was worried about the players, Judy, who took care of Link meticulously. Jogel, who gave Link the greatest support, Snyder...

And Nash also belongs to this group of heroes outside the spotlight.

When the Grizzlies win, they won't get the spotlight and praise. But without their silent efforts, the Grizzlies' season wouldn't be so smooth.

"Hahahaha, don't say that I'm so great. And, I've said a long time ago that I'm leaving after this season. You know, preparing for the next Olympic cycle. So, I'm just a short worker, that's all. This is your victory, Link." Nash waved his hand modestly.

"Don't worry, I will follow your promise to you before you leave, Steve. Next time, when we win at the Fed Express Arena again, I promise you that we will hold the O'Brien Cup. In a few months, you will get a championship ring of your own. I promise you, Steve."

After Link finished speaking, he patted Nash on the shoulder and then walked on the court to celebrate the victory with his teammates.

Nash looked at Link's back and looked at the three championship pennants at the Federal Express Arena.

Is his "deal" with Link finally going to be completed?
Chapter completed!
