One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-One: Useless Struggle

The day after the series ended, the world was in a state of Link fever.

Even the big-name players were shocked by Link's two games in Oakland.

It's nothing unusual to occasionally perform well in the playoffs.

But to have incredible performances in two consecutive away games is very rare.

After all, the intensity of the playoffs and the factors of away games are shackles that restrict players' performance.

Facing a crowd of uniformly dressed opposing fans and opponents who are determined to drag you down, it is really difficult for most people to maintain a regular performance.

However, Link performed two consecutive incredible performances under such circumstances.

The Warriors are powerless against this, as if their strength only exists to make Link stronger.

Of course, the day after the game wasn't all good news.

At noon the next day, in a joyful atmosphere, the league announced the suspension of Randolph and Pachulia with great disappointment.

First, the league issued a huge fine of US$25,000 to Randolph who rushed up from the bench to hit someone!

Moreover, Randolph was suspended for an additional ten games! If there are less than ten games in this season, it will be accumulated until the next season.

Moreover, Randolph was not paid for the ten games he was suspended.

Such a punishment can be said to be very severe. If there are no heavier penalties, people will just regard the league's regulations as a piece of waste paper.

Such a severe punishment is somewhat intended to scare the monkeys.

When Grizzlies fans were ready to complain about Randolph, Pachulia's penalty made everyone instantly mentally balanced.

Because Pachulia was suspected of intentionally injuring someone and scuffling with the opponent in the chaos, the league fined Pachulia $45,000 and suspended him for an additional 20 games!

Although Randolph's current annual salary is not high, he once earned an annual salary of tens of millions. Therefore, a $20,000 fine and 10 games without salary are not unacceptable to Randolph.

But Pachulia has always been a blue-collar player, and such a punishment is a fatal blow to him.

A quarter of a season's salary is gone, and in addition, he has to pay a fine of nearly $50,000. Most importantly, I lost two teeth!

This time, Link was surprised by the joke. In the original history, Pachulia stepped on Leonard and did not receive any punishment.

But in today's history, Pachulia finally got the comeuppance he deserved.

After the result of Pachulia's penalty came out, fans all over the world instantly put aside their prejudices and cheered together.

Pachulia never expected that her suspension would trigger a global outcry!

Think about it, as a professional football player and the fans are happy that they can't see you play, how fucked up is it...

Georgians will probably have to be on their own for a long time this time.

The Grizzlies lost Randolph, which actually didn't have much impact on their strength.

But the Warriors lost Pachulia, and the fifth position immediately became stretched.

This season, the Warriors have two No. 5 positions that have entered the regular rotation, and instantly only one McGee is left.

Facing the Grizzlies' twin tower offensive, this will make the Warriors more passive.

Although the Warriors also have two centers, Kevin Looney and Damian Jones, both of them are too immature. One is a sophomore and the other is a first-year player. They simply cannot adapt to the intensity and pace of the Western Conference finals.

Although Jokic is technically only a second-year player,

But his talent is unmatched by Rooney and Jones.

Pachulia was suspended, which made the Warriors' already low possibility of a comeback even lower.

Overall, today was just as exciting as match day. In the morning, fans were immersed in the praise of Link from major players.

At noon, everyone was discussing the suspension of Randolph and Pachulia.

At night, I thought everything would be calm. As a result, Stephen A. Smith made another explosive revelation!

"According to the on-site reporter's microphone recording, Link said to Durant before the kill, I'm going to kill you here."

As soon as this news came out, it triggered a big explosion!

Link's counter-attack was already very exciting, but he didn't know that Link actually said such pretentious words before the attack!

The last person who dared to pretend like this was Larry Bird during his player days. Only he has the confidence to say something that deserves a beating.

Little did he know that now, Link was pretending to be even more awesome with a harder shot.

After the news broke, some fans analyzed Link's last words to Durant through lip reading and found that Stephen A. Smith did not lie.

Link really said that to Durant before executing the kill!

It's good now. Link's heat, which had finally dissipated a little, was fired up again.

From now on, Larry Bird's title of "King of Forces" will be crowned on Link's head.

At this point, everyone around the world, from fans to media to stars, is discussing Link.

When people think of the NBA, the first thing that comes to mind is Link.

The ratings gap between the Western Conference Finals and the Eastern Conference Finals is huge, and the reason is simple - there is no Link in the Eastern Conference Finals.

If Link was just one of the league's most high-profile stars before, now the word "one" can be removed.

Link's current influence is already unparalleledly huge.

NBA ratings, which had started to decline year by year, have risen again because of Link's presence.

Back then, Michael Jordan was the guarantee of NBA ratings.

And now, Link has done the same thing!

Maybe Link's current influence is still not as good as Jordan's back then, but I have to say that he is getting closer!

Link is ready to become the second "god", but the fans are not ready yet.

But no matter whether everyone is ready or not, Link will not slow down his approach to Jordan.

On May 24, Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference Finals was held at FedEx Arena.

What was very surprising about this game was that with almost no chance of winning, the Warriors actually played a game in which everyone broke out and won again at FedEx Arena.

In this game, Curry, Thompson and Durant scored 80 points together!

They were like animals about to be killed, using their last strength to instinctively resist to the death.

However, this kind of resistance often only makes the party with the advantage become more vigilant and increase its offensive.

After the game, Link wasn't disappointed. He even flashed an easy smile during the press conference.

"It's a pity that we couldn't end the series today, but we're also very lucky. In this way, we can end them in Oakland in front of the Warriors fans!"

As soon as Link's words came out, many Oakland fans were naturally dissatisfied. They think Link is arrogant, and if the Warriors fight back, they will definitely be able to drag the game into a tiebreaker!

But Link did not break his promise. Two days later at Oracle Arena, Link scored 34 points, Conley scored 21 points, Gasol scored 17 points, plus Jokic's 14 points and 11 rebounds. The Grizzlies scored in the last three minutes of the game. A wave of 12-0 offensive completely ended the dream of Warriors fans!

The Warriors also played very hard today, but helplessly, their resistance also allowed the Grizzlies to increase their strength.

The warrior's desperate struggle ends here.

The electronic buzzer finally sounded, and all the warrior's fantasies vanished at that moment.

"The game is over, to be precise, the entire series is over! Just like last season, the total score of the series is still 4 to 2. But this year, the positions of the winners and losers have been reversed!"

The moment the game ended, Mike Breen raised his arms and cheered.

He has experienced the Jordan era, and now, he will have the honor to fully experience the career of another god-level player!

After winning the game, Link looked proudly into the stands and saw the disappointed expressions of Warriors fans.

It feels so good to eliminate the home team at someone else's home court with your own hands!

Link paid back all the blows the Warriors gave Link intact!

After the series, Link only shared a hug with Curry and Thompson.

As for Green and Durant, those two guys probably don’t want to see Link’s face again all summer.

The moment the game ended, they had disappeared.

During the regular season, they provoked Link again and again, pretending to cough. At this time, everything turned into shame, pressing hard on Durant and Green.

This war that lasted for a whole year finally ended with Link's victory!

Later, the Grizzlies players held up the silver Western Conference Championship trophy in front of tens of thousands of envious Warriors fans at Oracle Arena!

After Link raised the trophy, he deliberately bowed to the surrounding stands. There is no doubt that this scene will become a nightmare for all Warriors fans.

The Golden State Warriors' dynasty dream was shattered just after it started!

They are known as the strongest lineup in the league, but they are no better than a healthy Grizzlies!

After the award was awarded, the reporter put the microphone in front of Link, originally wanting to hear what Link had to say about his acceptance speech.

However, Link only said one sentence, but the whole world continued to go crazy.

"It's our time now, LeBron."

Acceptance speech? Link will not celebrate victory in advance before winning the championship.

He knows that there is one last opponent waiting for him to defeat!
