One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty Two: 1 Practical Advice
No one thought that this would be the final outcome of the Los Angeles Galaxy Battleship.
Last summer, when Leonard decided to move to Los Angeles and let George join him to join the Clippers, when the Clippers acquired Harrell, the hero of the Grizzlies' three consecutive championships.
Absolutely no one could have imagined that a seemingly ordinary drift shot would be the real end of the Clippers' season with their luxurious lineup.
The way Link executed this shot was a microcosm of his entire game today.
Paul tried his best to score points, but Link could always make the same move easily.
The Clippers did their best to drag the game to the end, preparing for a showdown with Link.
But for Link, it was just an easy drift shot.
This stark contrast is even more disappointing.
When cornered, he can turn the tide with a performance of 37 seconds and 17 minutes.
When he has the upper hand, Link can easily control the situation.
There is simply no chance of winning against such an opponent!
After just 35 seconds, the electronic buzzer came.
This sound made Clippers fans feel extremely heartbroken.
How they wish the game could continue until the Clippers win the ball.
But time would not stop because of this, this cruel moment finally arrived.
"It's over, 123 to 113. In the crucial fifth game, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Grizzlies by 10 points. 4 to 2, the Grizzlies defeated their opponents with no danger. For the fourth consecutive season, they Reach the NBA Finals!”
The cheers from the commentators seemed out of place amid the crowd of disappointed Los Angeles fans.
But there is no other way, the proud Los Angeles fans can only endure it.
After all, in the world of competitive sports, losers have no human rights.
The moment the game ended, Doc Rivers collapsed on the bench.
a few days ago,
When the Clippers led the Grizzlies 1-0, he imagined leading the team to the Finals again.
He was even thinking that if the Clippers won the championship, his players would just pour a bucket of Gatorade like the Celtics did 12 years ago.
If that happens, he will definitely be very distressed.
Now, Rivers no longer has such troubles, but he has a more troubled thing.
Paul George buried his face in his hands. In the end, his illusions were shattered.
He and the Los Angeles Clippers still failed to break Link's absolute dominance of this era.
2020 is Link’s last season. People say this is the beginning of a new era.
But it's clear that Link doesn't want this year to be the beginning of another era.
He just wants 2020 to be the end of his era.
Leonard was expressionless, but his mood was extremely low.
In last season's finals, he led Siakam, VanVleet and others, and unexpectedly fought the invincible Grizzlies 4-2 in the finals.
Although he lost, it made Leonard look forward to the future and allowed him to see an opportunity to break his dominance.
This year, his teammates have become MVP candidate Paul George, the strongest sixth man Lou Williams, Harrell with championship genes, and Bev who never gives up. profit.
The results of it? The score is still 4-2, and Leonard is still the loser.
It's like, my limit is to last six games.
Not to mention winning, he couldn't even force Link to a tiebreaker...
Thinking of this, Leonard smiled bitterly.
He always thought that if he left the Spurs, he would be able to create a new world.
But it was only now that Leonard understood that the reason why he had never won was not because of the team, but because of Link...
He just happened to enter an era that belonged entirely to Link.
All of Staples was lifeless.
How many years has it been since a Los Angeles team played in the conference finals?
This season, we finally had a chance to reach the conference finals, but we met with this ending.
Los Angeles fans were heartbroken.
They will surely be just as impressed by Link's final season as Memphis fans.
When George thought about everything that happened today, he felt extremely disappointed.
This was the first time that he was suppressed by his opponent in all aspects in a match.
That suffocating, ubiquitous sense of oppression has become the most unforgettable feeling in George's career so far.
Now, George finally knows why Link has been able to rule this alliance for so long.
Like Michael Jordan in the 1990s, he is a level above everyone else.
Just when George was extremely frustrated, Link took the initiative and hugged his college friend.
The battle is over, and the identity of the enemy between them is automatically lifted.
"I'm sorry George, I said, I have to win." Link touched George's head and crushed his good friend's championship dream with his own hands... He really felt a little mixed in his heart.
"Why apologize? You won the victory that should be yours, man." George also put his arms around Link's neck, and the scene was very ambiguous...
"Stop pretending, I can see you're not in a good mood."
"It's not just not good, I'm just...forget it, if you are destined to create a miracle, then go ahead, Link. Win your fourth consecutive championship trophy, and then Honorable discharge. When the time comes, I will sincerely wish you the best, Link."
George held back his tears before he dared to let go of Link and let Link face him.
"I will, George. The only one who can beat you is the champion."
Link didn't say anything more to George. Men are creatures like men who cannot fully release their emotions even when facing their best friends.
In the end, they had to digest many things alone.
Have you ever seen a grown man cry on top of another grown man?
There are too few such examples.
Link knew that no matter how he comforted George now, it would have no effect. The only one who can help George is himself.
After George left, the on-site staff was already building a temporary awards podium.
Later, Link will lead the team to win their seventh Western Conference championship trophy in team history!
Before that, many reporters came in to interview Link.
Many people were prepared to listen to Link scold the Clippers, but Link's attitude surprised everyone.
"In the last Western Conference finals of my career, I felt it was worthwhile to compete with my best friend. I believe George will definitely create his own glory after I leave. He is a good brother and deserves respect. opponent."
On the other side, there were also reporters who blocked Paul George in the player tunnel and interviewed him.
"George, it's a pity that the Clippers lost the series. After six games, do you think you have any advice that you can give to Link's next opponent?"
Faced with this question, George just smiled.
"Advice? Advice is, no one can defeat Link! No matter who meets the Grizzlies in the finals, they are dead. Yes, literally, no one can defeat Link! As long as he wants to, he is Champion! So, give up the useless struggle."
After these six games, George has a very accurate understanding of Link's strength.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of monster could restrain Link.
That "Greek Freak" in Milwaukee?
No, even he has no chance!
The reporters were stunned when they heard George praising an opponent who had just defeated them.
Before they could react, George turned around and walked back to the locker room.
That was the only advice he could give others.
