Nine Hundred and Ninety: LeBron. No Traffic. James

While Durant and his managers were looking for ways to make changes, Link and the Memphis Grizzlies finally struggled to get out of the morass of the Western Conference Finals.

Then, again, Link and James, two great small forwards, stood on opposite sides of each other.

Once again, they will continue to face off in the finals!

This is the third consecutive year that Link and James have met in the finals. There is no doubt that the first five years of the second decade of the 21st century belong to Link and James.

In five years, the two would win a combined four championships. The two met in the Finals three out of five years.

During the great "black and white hegemony" era between Bird and "Magic", the two together only won eight championship rings.

And now, Link and James have separated four of them in just five years.

If Link and James can continue to meet in the finals so efficiently, there is no doubt that both of them will become synonymous with this era.

The encounter between these two great stars attracted worldwide attention. Originally, people thought that whoever could win the Western Conference championship this year would be equivalent to winning the championship.

But when Link and James really stood together, no one dared to guarantee that Link would win.

That's right, in last season's finals, the Grizzlies defeated the Heat with a total score of 4-0.

But the Cavaliers are different from the Heat. The reason James chose to leave the Heat last summer was to fight against Link!

All he did was for one purpose - to defeat Link once!

The young Irving is in better shape than the aging Wade.

Although Love's data has shrunk severely this season, his stability from beyond the three-point line is better than Bosh last season.

What's more, the Cavaliers also have J.R. Smith, a bench bandit, on their bench.

In this year's playoffs, this "nerve knife" has shown its value more than once.

He may not be as great as Ray Allen, but his explosive scoring power is unmatched by the aging Ray Allen last season.

Once he starts to break out, it often only takes a few minutes of a wave of offense to end the game.

What's more, the guy who went from No. 6 back to No. 23, the guy who has passed his thirties, still doesn't show any signs of aging!

Overnight, the two small cities of Memphis and Cleveland became extremely lively.

The streets and alleys of these two cities were decorated with promotional posters for the NBA Finals.

The poster design is very simple, with a black background and Link and James facing each other.

Between them, written a few simple words, "define this era."

That’s the slogan for this year’s finals.

This simple poster is enough to reflect all the excitement of the finals.

"Defining this era, if Link wins again this year, he will become the first superstar to establish a three-peat dynasty after Kobe and O'Bill in the early part of the century! But if LeBron wins, then he and Link The number of championships is always 2 to 2.

Their struggle for hegemony will continue! Regardless of the outcome, the result of this year's finals will set the tone for the past five years! "

"LeBron will definitely not let Link pass easily this time. He has been waiting for this finals for a whole year! LeBron has been waiting for this opportunity since he decided to return to Cleveland last summer. Believe me, this is This series will be more exciting than the series between the Grizzlies and the Warriors!"

"In a duel between the two greatest stars of this era, LeBron will defend his honor to the death. He has lost to Link twice in a row. I think he will definitely not be willing to become Link to establish a three-peat dynasty. backdrop!”

Overnight, the media reported on the Cavaliers and Grizzlies.

Cleveland and Memphis, two cities that usually have little presence, have now become the focus of basketball fans around the world.

In NBA history, there have been few examples of two small-city teams competing for a championship.

San Antonio versus New Jersey in 2003 and San Antonio versus Cleveland in 2007 are two of the few examples.

But the influence of these two finals cannot be compared with this year.

People outside have already begun to wait with their fingers for the finals to arrive, and both participating parties are actually gearing up to prepare for a big fight.

Especially LeBron James, as the media said, he has been waiting for this round of finals for a whole year!

On the first night the Cavaliers arrived in Memphis to prepare for the game, James sat in his hotel room, staring at his phone screen from time to time.

Owen, who was playing games on the side, felt curious, so he went up to take a look.

As a result, the photo on the screen of James' mobile phone shocked Irving.

The photo on the phone screen comes from the last moments of last season's finals.

At that time, after winning the game, Link raised his arms high and cheered as if no one else was around. But on the other side, separated only by a midline, LeBron James was kneeling on one knee, looking very embarrassed.

This photo is very classic and is considered to be the most classic scene in Link's career.

This photo went viral last summer, and Irving had seen it more than once.

But he didn't expect that a year later, James would actually dig it out again.

"How's it going? Do you feel particularly desperate? LeBron James, kneeling down in front of Link, it's really..." Seeing Irving's shocked expression after seeing the photo, James smiled and shook his head.

"This image has been bothering me for a whole year, Kyrie. Every time in the dead of night, when I fall asleep, I will go back there. Back to the game that day, back to that humiliating moment. I will never go back to that moment in my life. I can’t forget the exhaustion and powerlessness I felt at that time. Even when I was defeated by the Spurs in 2007, I had never felt so defeated.”

"That's over, LeBron." Irving patted James on the shoulder, "This year, we will get a different result."

"This is exactly why I keep looking at this photo. It reminds me all the time that I must not lose!" James said, staring at the photo for several seconds, and then turned off the phone screen.

Last season, Link completely broke up the Heat's Big Three with 74 wins and a championship.

Link's total score of 4-0 in the finals completely made James give up.

But all these hardships have become James' source of strength at this moment.

The game hasn't started yet, but LeBron James is ready to make a killing in the next game.

He has made up his mind to fight Link to the end!

"Kelly."

"Um?"

"Are you confident?"

"Of course, I have been waiting for this moment in my dreams."

"That's good, we will definitely win. The championship must belong to Cleveland. Wait...fuck, I forgot to connect to WIFI, I was just browsing pictures with my data! It's over, it's over, it's over How much traffic do you need?"

"Poof!" Owen, who was playing a game, almost lost his grip on the controller.

It took a lot of effort to get the atmosphere up, but it’s too disgraceful...

But looking at James who was working hard on his mobile phone and cherishing data as much as his life, Irving felt very relieved.

This guy who is extremely funny in life is extremely reliable on the basketball court.

After partnering with James for a year, Irving deeply experienced the power of No. 23.

He really can't imagine any player better than LeBron.

Link? With the lineups of both sides evenly matched, Link shouldn't be able to do it either...

Kelly Irving shrugged. Anyway, he couldn't imagine what a person who could suppress James would look like.

There is no way in this world that there is another player like this.
