One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Seven: The Transaction Is Completed

LeBron James sat on the bench, expressionless.

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

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

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

Of course James knows that a 1-0 lead means nothing.

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

However, James' beautiful fantasy only lasted long, and was ruthlessly broken by Link and his teammates today.

At this time, the game has reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. It stands to reason that such a critical moment should be exactly when James plays a role, and he should not be sitting on the bench at this time.

If James sits on the bench at this desperate moment, there is only one possibility - the Cavaliers have already lost their ability to resist.

"The game ended with two minutes, but the point difference still showed no intention of narrowing. The Grizzlies led the Cavaliers by 21 points, and their counterattack was too fierce."

Mike Breen's commentary surprised many fans who had just switched channels.

Grizzlies lead Cavaliers by 21 points? what's the situation?

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

Today, all the grizzly bears were immediately returned, so what did they rely on?

No matter how miserable the Cavaliers are, no matter how unfavorable they are, they won't be tortured like this by the Grizzlies.

As a result, many fans quickly took a look at the Grizzlies' data today. They thought to themselves that Link must have exploded again today and must have produced extremely exaggerated statistics. This made the game completely lose its suspense.

However, Link's data column only read the numbers 33 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.

Is this data bad? Of course it's not bad, in fact it's very good.

A 30-point triple-double in the Finals was an achievement that neither Kobe nor Jordan had ever achieved.

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

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

Since Link's statistics are so "ordinary", how did the Grizzlies win so much?

After taking a closer look at the Grizzlies' stat sheet, fans found an unexpected answer.

Spencer Dinwiddie made 5 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line today and scored 32 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. His score was only 1 point less than Link!

He plays the role of combo guard to the fullest.

Although this data is not as good as Link's, when it comes to Dinwiddie, it is really exaggerated.

Who would have thought that a backup guard of the Grizzlies, a guard who had spent the entire first year of his career in the Development League and finally played in the NBA last season, could break out in the Finals!

In the past, perhaps only Grizzlies fans and other fans who paid more attention to Grizzlies games knew Dinwiddie's name.

But now, anyone who is a basketball fan knows who Spencer Dinwiddie is!

"The Grizzlies' counterattack was indeed too fierce. After defeating the Cavaliers in the last game, they immediately launched the most powerful counterattack. I think this is why so many people are optimistic that the Grizzlies can win the championship."

Van Gundy, who was very optimistic about the Cavaliers at the beginning, could only shake his head at this time.

The Cavaliers' performance today was really not bad. James had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists.

The hit rate is as high as 56%.

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

Love's touch was still hot, scoring 27 points in the game and shooting 52.7% from the field.

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

The Big Three of the Cavaliers combined for 75 points. If such a performance can be considered poor, it would be too harsh.

But this is precisely the most frustrating part. The Cavaliers have already performed so well, but they actually lost to the Grizzlies by more than 20 points!

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

"Dinwiddie's performance was definitely an unexpected factor. Since he hit two three-pointers at the end of the first quarter, he was out of control the whole game. This combo guard showed his potential, he The first trip to the Finals was absolutely perfect. Link’s firepower was already enough to give the Cavaliers a drink. Now that Dinwiddie appears, it’s not surprising that the Cavaliers are completely thrown away. .”

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

He knew that the Cavaliers were unlikely to explode with three points in two consecutive games, but he also did not expect that the Grizzlies would win so easily.

Perhaps the gap between the Grizzlies and Cavaliers is wider than people think...

As they chatted, the electronic buzzer sounded throughout the audience.

The fans in FedEx Arena finally had a reason to cheer in the finals. 132 to 113, the Grizzlies avenged their humiliation at home.

The moment the game ended, James' heart "thumped".

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

Because he discovered that after repeating the finals a year later, the Grizzlies not only did not decline, but were actually stronger than before!

James stood up, his eyes blank.

Next, the battlefield of the game will shift to Cleveland, back to his home court.

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

This may be the first time in history that James almost lost confidence after playing only two games in the Finals...

This defeat really dealt a huge blow to the Cavaliers.

On the Grizzlies side, Dinwiddie, who scored 32 points in his second appearance in the Finals, was running around the court excitedly.

Other Grizzlies players were hugging each other as they celebrated their first win in the Finals.

At this time, the calmest people on the Grizzlies team are Link and Nash.

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

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

"He was literally the biggest star today, thank you, Steve."

"Thank me?" Nash looked at Link, thinking he made a mistake.

"Yes, thank you. I know you must have made a lot of determination when you chose to join the Grizzlies last summer. After all, at that time, the Warriors looked more championship-worthy 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 thank you for everything you do for this team. Without you, Spencer wouldn't be as good as he is today."

Link's expression was very serious, indicating that those words were from the bottom of his heart.

The Grizzlies are able to achieve their current results because, in addition to the outstanding performance of the players, there are also many people working quietly behind the scenes.

Moon, the chief team doctor who worried about the players, and Judy, who took great care of Link. Jorgel, Snyder, who gave Link the greatest support...

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

When the Grizzlies win, they don't get the spotlight and the accolades. But without their silent efforts, the Grizzlies' season would not have been so smooth.

"Hahahaha, don't call me that great. Moreover, I have already said that I will leave after this season. You know, to prepare for the next Olympic cycle. So, I am a part-time worker, nothing more. .This is your victory, Link." Nash waved his hand modestly.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise to you before you leave, Steve. Next time, when we win at FedEx Arena. I promise you, we will win the O'Brien Cup." .In a few months, you're going to get a championship ring of your own. I promise you, Steve."

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

Nash looked at Link's back, and then at the three championship banners on FedEx Arena. .

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

A championship ring... I'm really looking forward to it.
