One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Eight: The Last Step (Five/Five)

Link didn't know whether the planned three years would pass quickly, but it was an indisputable fact that this offseason passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Link was back at FedEx Arena.

He felt like he was scoring consecutive points to defeat the Cavaliers here, laughing at jokes here, and being carried to the technical stage by his teammates here, as if it was just a short time ago.

But in fact, almost half a year has passed since the midsummer when the Grizzlies won the championship.

At this time, the fourth championship banner had been hung on the dome of FedEx Arena.

Before the regular season opener, Link also received his fourth championship ring.

Jokic and his group of young people were particularly excited because Link once said that they would also have their own rings.

Now, it's finally come true.

In addition to Jokic and his group of young people, there are also old guys who are very excited.

Nash, who is no longer a player development consultant for the Grizzlies, was also specially invited to the scene.

The moment he received the championship ring, Nash couldn't help crying on the court.

From Dallas to Phoenix to Los Angeles, Nash spent nearly 20 years chasing this thing.

But he didn't expect that his dream would come true in Memphis.

The championship ring awarding ceremony can be regarded as a summary of the Grizzlies' outstanding performance last season.

Of course, fans are more concerned about the future.

Can Link create a second dynasty? Can he continue to dominate the league?

Even, can it surpass Jordan? ?

The truth of the answer is getting closer.

-The regular season of the season is a relatively easy game for the Grizzlies.

Over in the East, James' dominance has begun to waver. After losing Irving, a good helper, the Cavaliers' record has not been ideal.

Due to injuries, Isaiah Thomas, Rose and others

There has been no way to replace Irving.

As for the Western Conference, the Warriors seem to have no interest in competing with the Grizzlies for regular season rankings and seats.

Their offensive was no longer as fierce as in previous years, and their opening wave of wins and losses was shocking.

On the contrary, the Houston Rockets, who acquired Paul this summer, have made great progress and become the Grizzlies' new competitor in the regular season.

During the season, the Warriors encountered serious injuries. Curry, Durant, Thompson and Green all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

As a result, the Warriors were far behind the Grizzlies and Rockets in the regular season.

Things turned around, and the Warriors took advantage of the Grizzlies' injury-filled season to win the championship. This year, it's their turn.

In the end, the Grizzlies once again won the first place in the Western Conference with a winning record.

Although the results were not as beautiful as last season's record-breaking victory, with little pressure behind them, the Grizzlies still managed to reach the top.

On the other hand, the Warriors have not even won 0 games this year. The Cavaliers were even worse, and they almost didn't get 0 wins!

The entire regular season was completely dominated by the Grizzlies.

In the playoffs, the Warriors were almost overturned by the Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals, and the winner was not decided until the tiebreaker.

If Chris Paul hadn't been injured in Game 5 of the series, God knows whether the Warriors would have made it to the Western Conference Finals.

Facts have proved that the Warriors no longer have complete dominance in the Western Conference. They, like the Cavaliers, are in decline.

Sure enough, in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were once again eliminated by the Grizzlies. The growth of Jokic and others has left the Warriors helpless.

You know, while the Warriors are slowly declining, the Grizzlies are still getting stronger!

In the subsequent finals, the Grizzlies beat the Cavaliers directly and swept them 1-0.

James is alone. After losing Irving, the Cavaliers have no capital to wrestle with the Grizzlies.

This is the third time in James' career that he has been swept in the Finals. Everyone predicts that James will make a decision this summer.

After all, James has no hope at all in Cleveland.

Without a fight, the Grizzlies easily won their fifth championship in team history and their second consecutive championship.

Compared with last year, the Grizzlies' advantage is more obvious. In the entire league, the Grizzlies have no opponent at all!

It seems that a third consecutive championship is just around the corner.

In the summer after winning two consecutive championships, the Grizzlies' championship lineup saw some changes.

Two years later, Wade once again received an offer from the Miami Heat.

Although the amount of 00,000 per year is not high, Wade still hopes to finish his last season with the Heat.

So, he gave up the opportunity to chase three consecutive championships and said goodbye to Link.

It can be seen how sincere Wade's feelings are for the Heat.

How many people in this world can resist the temptation of three consecutive championships? Wade did it.

He also knows that even if he wins three consecutive championships with the Grizzlies, he will only play a small role. The protagonist of the Grizzlies is Link, even Jokic and the others, but it will not be Wade.

But in Miami, he is a well-deserved legend!

Wade would rather end his career as a Heat legend.

Although Wade's departure is regrettable, the Grizzlies' dominance has not been shaken.

After all, Dinwiddie and others who have grown up can completely replace Wade.

Except for the Grizzlies, almost the entire league is reshuffling this summer.

After being swept again, James indeed made a decision of 0. He left his hometown again with regret and traveled west to Los Angeles to join the Lakers.

After Leonard and the Spurs had a "court battle" that lasted for a whole year, it ended with him exchanging clubs with DeRozan and joining the Raptors.

Carmelo Anthony joins the Rockets to form the Big Three.

Durant stayed with the Warriors and decided to fight with Link for another year.

This summer can be said to have completely changed the league's landscape, but the Grizzlies' challenger still doesn't seem to have emerged.

-Season, the NBA’s promotional focus is Link’s road to his second three consecutive championships!

Joke has become smarter now. Instead of messing with Link, he started to praise Link instead.

Facts have proved that following the wishes of the fans is the right way.

With Link's current popularity, Joke has no capital to challenge Link.

With the help of the promotional concept of "Link's road to his second three consecutive championships", the - season has become particularly eye-catching.

Over in the East, the rise of the Bucks, Raptors and others has also changed the boring situation of one dominant player in the East.

It looks like this season is going to be a lot of fun.

However, this year's regular season, the Grizzlies played more relaxedly than last season.

No team in the Western Conference has more than 0 wins, and the Rockets dropped from second place to fourth last season with Paul missing most of the games.

The Warriors still had nothing to gain during the regular season, handing over the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference.

The most unexpected thing is James' Lakers. People thought that James would compete with Link in the Western Conference.

But I never expected that the Lakers simply didn't make the playoffs.

After reaching the Finals for eight consecutive years, James can finally take an early break.

In the playoffs, the Warriors suffered a fatal blow - Durant was injured.

Without Durant, the Warriors lost their only capital to compete with the Grizzlies.

In this year's Western Conference Finals, Link had an extremely easy time because the Warriors simply couldn't find a player who could match up with Link.

Than, this time, the grizzly bear did it cleanly and the gentleman swept. The myth of the Golden State Warriors is officially shattered!

This year, the person who replaced James as the king of the Eastern Conference was surprisingly not Antetokounmpo or Embiid, but Leonard.

With the rise of newcomers such as Siakam and VanVleet, the Raptors, which did not seem to have a luxurious lineup, were led all the way to the finals by Leonard.

Leonard certainly didn't expect that when he and Link made an appointment to meet in the Western Conference Finals, they would actually meet in the Finals.

The ratings of this year's finals finally satisfied the joke.

Because the game was finally no longer one-sided, the Raptors gave the Grizzlies a lot of trouble. This may be the most difficult finals round that the Grizzlies have played in recent years.

Leonard now definitely has the strength to challenge Link, and Siakam and the others have also caused huge trouble for the Grizzlies.

In the first game, Siakam scored points with this incredible shooting rate!

The Raptors defeated the Grizzlies 0-0 and took the lead 0-0!

At that time, people exclaimed that Link's era was about to turn over, and his second three consecutive championships was about to be shattered.

But in the second game, Link quickly proved what it means to be your uncle or your uncle.

He scored points all over the game, scoring 0+ points in the playoffs for the seventh time in his career. Just one short of Jordan’s record of eight!

In addition to scoring, Link also limited Leonard's shooting percentage to 0. It can be said that Leonard was reduced to ashes.

As for Siakam, Joger asked Harrell, who had fully grown up, to take over at the critical moment and was moved to the starting lineup.

As a result, Siakam only made a few shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of less than 0.

Again, the Grizzlies are still getting stronger! Link is already strong enough, but his helpers are still getting stronger.

In the third game, the Raptors took the lead again with an explosive three-pointer. But after that, the Grizzlies didn't give the Raptors any chance.

After winning the fourth and fifth games in a row, in the sixth game in Toronto, Link had a rebound and an assist, and once again scored a triple-double with 0 points.

Veteran Andre Iguodala also made a comeback, stepping forward at critical moments and scoring points throughout the game.

This guy has not forgotten that his mission is to assist Link, even if he is old.

But as long as Link needs to, he has to play the role of Pippen.

At the last moment, Link hit a key three-pointer with Leonard, and then shot a bloody blow on Siakam's head, completely ruining the Raptors' victory.

With a score of 0, the Grizzlies struggled to win Game 6, leaving the Toronto fans disappointed!

Although the Raptors were only one point behind, they had no chance.

In terms of total score, the Raptors really stood out. They gave the Grizzlies a real threat and allowed fans to see a truly exciting finals.

But unfortunately, they still failed to overthrow Link's rule.

The myth of two and three consecutive championships has officially become a reality!

When Link won the O'Brien Cup for the third consecutive year, he himself felt a little dazed.

The three years promised at the beginning were suddenly reduced to the last year.

Sure enough, it only took a blink of an eye.

The road to becoming the greatest that seemed so far away at first is now only the last step left.
