One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Three: The Greatest Road in History

In the last 23 seconds of the game, Link controlled the ball.

He stopped immediately after crossing the midfield line.

At this time, the cheers in FedEx Arena reached its peak. Because in 23 seconds, they will win the O'Brien Cup for the fourth time in team history!

The Cavaliers are still 12 points behind the Grizzlies. Sure enough, chasing 16 points in the last minute is unrealistic.

The fans were in a state of extreme excitement throughout the last minute of the game.

Embracing the championship again after a year is a moment that almost everyone in Memphis has been dreaming about.

Now, this beautiful moment is finally coming!

Link looked at the timer on the backboard. He had never felt that 23 seconds was so long.

Others are still on the basketball court, but their thoughts have already rushed out of the gym.

James originally put up a defensive posture, but after seeing Link stop, he simply put his hands on his hips and waited for the end of the game.

This is definitely the most humiliating finals James has ever played in, bar none.

Although he was even swept by Link before, that could only rank second on the list of the most humiliating finals in his career.

In this game, the free throw ratio between the two sides in the fourth quarter was 10 to 3, and the offensive foul ratio was 5 to 0.

That's right, the Grizzlies were called for five offensive fouls in the fourth quarter alone!

In addition, Jokic committed six fouls on the Grizzlies' side. Because of four fouls, Link's playing time was far less than before.

To be honest, the Cavaliers took advantage of this game so much that even James himself felt a little embarrassed.

The referee's degree of partiality has reached the point of being unreasonable. It can be seen that the league has used all means to force the extension of the finals.

However, even so, the Cavaliers failed to win the game! Not only did they not win, the Grizzlies also opened the point difference to double digits again!

This was such a huge humiliation that James didn't know how to face the media and public opinion that followed.

From the proud man of heaven when he first entered the alliance,

The loser who can't win the game with the help of referees till now

A sense of powerlessness instantly spread throughout James' body, and he felt that his career was declining.

What about reaching the Finals seven years in a row? This simply means that he became the uncrowned king of this era.

The nickname "The Uncrowned King" is not something to be proud of.

At this time, Link slowly placed the basketball on the ground, then raised his arms high.

The next second, an electronic buzzer sounded. A huge wave of sound surged into the field, causing James to almost be knocked to the ground.

Later James realized that there was no noise at all.

His legs simply softened.

James almost knelt down on one knee in front of Link, who raised his arms high.

"It's over, 4 to 1! After falling behind by one game, the Grizzlies fought back, and finally the gentlemen swept the Cavaliers! The Grizzlies regained what belonged to them, and they won the championship for the fourth time in five years. Win the championship trophy! The great Link, he has proven with practical actions that his dominance of the league is not over yet!"

Mike Breen's excitement was unleashed. He had been waiting for this moment for so long.

Mike Breen has been waiting for this moment since the Grizzlies were treated unfairly in the first quarter.

He was still thinking at the time, if the Grizzlies could still win the game under such circumstances, it would be a relief.

As a result, Mike Breen is really proud now.

Looking at the final result of this game, Mike Breen couldn't be happier.

The Alliance obstructed him in every possible way, but there was no way to stop Link from fulfilling his promise.

It turns out that the greatest players can dominate the game in any situation!

Today is June 12th. Link said he would win the championship before the due date on the 13th, and he did it!

James silently walked towards Link and hugged him gently.

The two are still the same as before, there is no particularly deep hostility, but there is no deep friendship either.

Without saying a word, they left each other and distinguished themselves.

James' seventh consecutive championship trip ended in a disastrous defeat.

Later, James hugged his old partner Wade.

"I said, this guy can't let you win." Wade patted James on the shoulder, with a complicated mood.

"Congratulations, Dwayne. This time, your partner is a greater player." James smiled bitterly and went straight to the player tunnel.

Wade looked at James' back and couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

Greater player?

Yes, he may be the greatest player of this era.

Wade was still a little intolerant of James, but Link had no intention of lamenting James' tragic fate.

He took the championship hat and championship T-shirt from the staff, then took the microphone from Stephen A. Smith, who was about to interview him, and prepared to jump on the technical stage.

What is surprising is that Link has not been able to complete this action that he has repeated dozens of times in his career.

He was so tired that he failed to exert any force in his initial jump, so he failed to jump onto the technical platform.

But soon, the Grizzlies players lifted Link directly onto the technical stage and pushed him to the "throne" with their own hands.

Mike Breen was behind the technical desk. He stood up from his chair and applauded.

I don't know if it was because of the angle, but Mike Breen felt that Link was extremely tall today.

"This is dedicated to Memphis!" Link didn't waste any more words and yelled at the fans with a microphone.

What greeted him was the cheers of the entire Memphis.

Yes, in addition to FedEx Arena, there are also a bunch of fans cheering along in the streets of Memphis.

"Of course, it's also dedicated to my teammates and my coaches." Link said, looking at Jokic who was crying like a child, and at Nash who was secretly wiping his tears.

"Finally, this championship is also dedicated to my wife and the child who is about to be born!"

"Roar!" Upon hearing this, the fans roared along with Link.

Finally, Link looked at the number 0 on his chest and the name on the soles of his shoes.

"This is for you too, man."

This is the most exciting time for Link since he won his first championship.

This championship is of great significance to him. If we say that the previous three consecutive championships are just the beginning of his legend.

So this three consecutive championships will be the beginning of his establishment of a historical position!

While Link was interacting with the fans on the technical stage, the on-site staff had already set up the podium with ease.

For the FedEx Arena staff, no one has more experience setting up podiums.

"Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell applauded non-stop, as if he couldn't wait to hand the FVP trophy to Link.

But Adam laughed very stiffly at his jokes. He made such a show and ultimately failed to extend the finals, which is simply a shame.

Even those who play evil can't play Link, and naturally they can't laugh at the joke.

Just as Link was about to step onto the podium, he found that everyone suddenly stood still.

"What's wrong? Are you all going?" Link looked at everyone strangely, why didn't anyone come on stage?

At this time, Conley stood up and smiled at Link.

"Have you forgotten? His Majesty the King goes first, Link."

After Conley finished speaking, everyone looked at Link expectantly.

Link nodded slightly.

Yes, after a year, I have almost forgotten the tradition of FedEx Arena.

Link was the first to step onto the podium and walked directly in front of the joke.

"Thank you for the gift you prepared for me, Mr. President, I like it very much."

Joke smiled awkwardly. He didn't know whether the "gift" Link was referring to was the championship trophy or today's game.

The joke has now dispelled all thoughts that hindered Link. At least before the end of the second decade of the 21st century, he will not have such bad ideas again.

Since this is destined to be Link's era, let him be.

Link once again took over the heavy O'Brien Cup from the hands of the league president.

The greatest road in history begins now.
