786: Dominance in this era

On May 29, 2014, Link disappointed fans in all 49 states.

When the Grizzlies outscored the Spurs 112-107 in San Antonio, people's hopes of stopping the Grizzlies from making it out of the West were shattered.

Although when Link hit 40+10 in the last game and made the aggregate score 3-1, people knew that this outcome was inevitable. But watching the old powerhouse Spurs be eliminated without any way to fight back, San Antonio fans are still a little sad.

Any mental preparation is in vain until something really happens.

With an overall score of 4-1, the Grizzlies tackled the Spurs before June approached. The Spurs, who have 62 wins this season, have only one win against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies' dominance remains unassailable, and they reach the Finals for the second year in a row with a 12-1 record! ”

In front of the narrator's eyes, Duncan and Link hugged each other in a friendly manner.

"Stone Buddha" has experienced too many winds and waves, and he can face victory and defeat calmly. After all, he's lost and won almost as many times in his long career.

Only this time, Duncan didn't say anything like "the future is yours". Because he knows that the future has come.

"Played well, work hard. It's been years since a team in the league has won back-to-back championships, and you have a good chance. In the hug, Duncan patted Link on the back.

"Don't worry, Tim, we're not like the Thunder, we're not going to waste this Finals spot." Link inadvertently hacked Durant again.

"Hahaha, hopefully you'll have a perfect season, Link. You've done a great job, enjoy the victory. ”

Duncan finished speaking, turned and left directly.

Looking at Duncan's distant back, Link couldn't help but sigh. In the original history, this was the last glory of Spurs and GDP. But now, it's all gone, or because I don't.

And, if history doesn't shift too much, the Spurs won't be able to return to championship contention for years to come.

The emergence of its own accelerated the decline of the GDP portfolio.

Link shook his head, this was also something that could not be helped. Competitive sports are like that, they compete for the best of the pack, but in the end only one person can be the winner.

Link can't be a winner if he doesn't want others to lose.

The only thing Link can do now is to make the most of the opportunity to play in the finals. The championship of the Spurs, the Grizzlies won it for them!

But then again, the overall score of 4-1 is indeed beyond Link's expectations.

Link knows that the Spurs are not easy to mess with, and the fact that they can press the Thunder to the ground and rub it on the ground speaks for itself.

Therefore, Link initially thought that the Grizzlies would tie the Spurs 4-2 or even tie-break. All in all, the series is certainly going to be very tough.

However, the series ended comfortably 4-1 in the end. Although the Grizzlies suffered their first loss of the playoffs against the Spurs, it was still a remarkable achievement.

Playing the Spurs, the quasi-champion, the Grizzlies can be 4-1. So how far can the Grizzlies go against the Heat?

Link didn't think much of it, anyway, he definitely wouldn't give the Heat any chance.

The era of GDP is lonely, and the era of the Heat Big Three is coming to an end.

Seeing the Spurs lose to the Grizzlies with a total score of 1-4, James had palpitations.

He knows very well what the strength of the Spurs is this year, and he thought that the Spurs could buy the Heat more time, or even directly overturn the Grizzlies.

However, 4-1 is already the limit for Spurs. The strength of the Grizzlies made James dumbfounded.

In the end, the Grizzlies still made it to the finals. In the end, the Grizzlies still got more rest than the Heat. Not only are they unstoppable in the regular season, they are still a tough opponent in the playoffs.

James turned off the TV and covered his face.

Now, the Heat are still stuck in the Eastern Conference Finals and can't get out. And an even bigger trouble has already formed.

James began to feel that the Miami Heat were losing their dominance. Last season, they were still condescending to the Grizzlies.

But this year, the Heat have turned into challengers. This is not LeBron. What James wanted, if he was going to be a challenger, he wouldn't have left Cleveland in the first place.

Cleveland......

James was deep in thought, and he had not agreed to the Heat's request for a contract extension until now. He wants to make a decision after the Finals, and he needs to see if the Heat are still dominant and competitive.

The Grizzlies have a legendary 72 wins over the Heat, and if they win another championship on the Heat's head, the Miami Heat are undoubtedly the number one loser this season!

The number one loser worse than the Bucks, who are at the bottom of the league.

James has always worked hard to become the greatest player in the league, and he doesn't want to become Link's "upgrade package" again and again.

LeBron. James stood by the window, looking at the night view of Miami. In any case, it's time to let the city go to the light.

So the next day, the Miami Heat didn't give Paul . George any chance.

James, who was already ridden by Link, won't allow the second player from Fresno University to climb any further.

People thought it was going to be a very tight fight. Because the Heat has already won the match point with a total score of 3-2 at this time, if the Pacers lose again, they will be blocked from the Finals for the second year in a row.

But surprisingly, the Heat triumvirate settled the battle almost in the first half.

The Heat Big Three immediately entered the state as soon as they opened, after Wade and Bosh shot one after another, with 5 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter, James forced the basket and faced the shrinking defense of the Pacers four, still winning the basket and being unstoppable!

James then scored two consecutive baskets, and the Heat launched an 11-0 offensive climax! James today seemed like a tank racing down the road, all the obstacles in his way were crushed into a pile of broken metal.

The Pacers were clearly blinded by James' sudden outburst. George was still a little immature in front of James, who was attacking with all his might. The Pacers struggled and scored a point in the final 3:16 of the quarter, allowing the Heat to end the first quarter 24-13.

The Pacers weren't playing well, and their movements on the court began to get bigger. With 8:47 left in the second quarter, Stephenson became angry after receiving a steal and slapped Norris. Cole's face, the latter fell straight to the ground.

The referee blew Stephenson for a first-degree foul, and this blow made the Pacers' mentality completely collapse. Halfway through the quarter, Wade hit a three-pointer that gave the Heat a 20-point lead at 42-22! With a 20-point lead before halftime, the Miami Heat didn't intend to give the Pacers any chance.

The Heat are getting smoother and smoother, and even luck is on their side. 38 seconds before the end of the half, Bosh actually hit a three-point shot on the front board to further widen the difference. By the end of the half, the Heat were already 60-34 ahead!

The Heat scored 60 points in half a game, and the Pacers' proud defense was completely pinched into slag by the Big Three.

"Today, Indianapolis feel the wrath of the Triumvirate!" The local commentator in Miami roared happily that the Heat had never exploded in the entire series like today.

Larry. After watching the first half of the game, Bird turned off the television. Although there was still a half to play, he knew it was over.

Bird thinks the Pacers lost, not because the margin was too big. It's because he saw LeBron in the game. James's craving!

Once a superstar is in this state, then he is unstoppable. Bird was well aware of this, as he was back then......

Sure enough, the final result was the same as Bird had predicted. Although the Pacers fought back in the second half, it was to no avail. The Heat scored 117 points on team-wide shooting at 57.9 percent. The Pacers lost Game 6 by 15 points.

4-2, the Heat eliminated the Pacers, who still dominate the East. George had 29 points and 8 rebounds, but he was still not as good as James's 36 points and 12 rebounds!

After the game, James didn't celebrate happily. When facing the reporter's camera, James even frowned, as if he was dragged into a tie-break by the Pacers.

"LeBron, do you have any grievances about this game?" The reporter then asked James about it.

James shook his head, "I'm happy with this game. ”

"Then why do you look sullen?"

"Because the battle isn't over yet, it's not time to rejoice." After James finished speaking, he quickly left.

At the Eastern Conference championship award ceremony later, James still didn't smile.

People think it's strange that even the championship trophy can't satisfy James now.

Only James understands that he and Link are not just competing for the championship, but for the dominance of this era!

Who is the greatest player of this era? June is the time to decide the right to belong!

James managed to survive the era of Kobe Bryant and Duncan, and now, he doesn't want to be crushed under him anymore.

A LeBron, perhaps stronger than the original history, has been forced out by Link.
