One Thousand and Eighty-Five: A Well-Deserved Belt Winner (3/5)
Looking at Link with his arms folded across his chest and his chin raised proudly, no one dared to call this guy arrogant.
Because even if he is, he definitely has the arrogance!
Many fans are still confused. They clearly saw James successfully knocking Link away, but in the end, Link took advantage of him! ?
The replay on the big screen answered their questions and allowed them to see clearly the shocking scene.
The image of Link twisting his body in the air and turning back to use another hand to block James is deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. This block was even more exaggerated than the chase a few minutes ago!
First, he chased Irving and then turned around in the air to block the shot. In one game, Link created two miracles.
Is there any action in this world that Link can't do? I guess there are none!
"Horrible block, I have never seen anything like this! LeBron lost because of Link's last magical block. It was too cruel for him, really too cruel! His The performance was obviously outstanding, but I have to admit that Link’s final block really deserved the victory.”
McLeod felt like he was almost schizophrenic. On the one hand, he felt sorry for James. But on the other hand, he had to admit Link's greatness. He couldn't accept the loss of either of these two guys.
35 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. Link's statistics today are perfect.
Not only did he get the most luxurious statistics in the game, but those two incredible blocks completely changed the fate of the Grizzlies.
Think about it, if it weren't for these two magical blocks, God knows the winner would still be the Grizzlies.
It can be said that Link won the game completely with his superb performance.
Such a player can never be too arrogant!
James stood there blankly, his eyes blank.
32 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. From a personal data point of view, James and Link are on par today, and the gap is not big.
But in this game's most critical attack and defense, he was completely defeated by Link.
First, he was knocked away by Link with his low steps, and then Link turned around in the air and blocked the shot...
The attack and defense are like two nails.
Directly inserted into James' heart.
In both rounds, Link fought his way out of desperate situations.
He and Link fought for a whole game, but in the last two rounds, he allowed Link to win consecutively.
For James, the hardest thing is not his own mistakes or mistakes that lead to failure.
The hardest thing is that even though you have tried your best, you still lose to an opponent who did it more perfectly.
It is never easy to admit the strength of your opponent.
James looked around, looked at the disappointed and surprised expressions of the fans, and shook his head secretly.
He lost again, and he fell at the feet of Link again.
If this is the last game of the Finals, he will lose the championship again.
James staggered towards the player tunnel. Now he understood why the 1.75-meter Isaiah Thomas was able to defeat Link. Well... that was because Link did not risk his life with Thomas at all. Thomas It's not an opponent worthy of Link's death.
Otherwise, he would have no chance at all!
James walked off the court, and at the same time, Harrell flew out of the tunnel.
The moment the game ended, Harrell ran all the way to the locker room and rushed back.
Just when people thought Harrell couldn't hold back his urine, he ran out from the tunnel holding a gold belt.
It turned out that he had gone back to get his belt.
Harrell stepped onto the court holding the belt and gave it to Link.
Link raised his arms in a very cooperative manner, as if he had really defeated James in the ring and won the championship belt.
MacLeod shook his head, convinced, "Today, Link can take the belt home with the victory. Merry Christmas, bastard Link who is the enemy of the world."
Professional athletes generally achieve each other. Only by defeating players who are great enough can you become great.
If you can only abuse food all the time, you will naturally not be recognized by the fans.
And Link's biggest stepping stone on the road to greatness is undoubtedly James.
A player who "eats, sleeps and beats Lao Zhan" is enough to become a representative of this era!
The entire Quicken Loans Center was silent. They lost this game without any excuse.
At the post-game press conference, it was clear from James's expression that he was not in high spirits.
James has been preparing and looking forward to this Christmas battle for a long time.
To be honest, if the Cavaliers lose this game by a big score, James may not feel so uncomfortable.
But to lose in the last two rounds after fighting all night long is the most unacceptable thing.
Many reporters also felt very helpless about this result. Link is certainly qualified to be the winner. But James should not be a loser.
"LeBron, this loss is really, really unfortunate. How much luck do you think Link's block at the last moment had?"
"Luck?" James looked at the reporter, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Link is very powerful, so powerful that he doesn't even need to compete with me for luck."
Although James was very reluctant, he still recognized Link's performance in this game.
Whether it was chasing after someone, or twisting in the air to block a shot at the last moment, Link did his best in all aspects today.
And Kelly next to James. Owen kept his face straight and didn't say a word.
Today, the lively defender was completely shut down.
He clearly saw what a real fight between gods was, and it was simply a luxury to hope to make a name for himself from the rule of these two guys...
The atmosphere of the Grizzlies' press conference was completely opposite to that of the Cavaliers. As deserted as the Cavaliers' press conference was, the Grizzlies' press conference was as lively as it was.
Link attended the new conference carrying his gold belt on one shoulder. Those who didn't know it thought he was a boxing star.
Link was indeed very happy. It was the most exciting thing to have the last laugh in such a hard battle.
However, Link did not get carried away. Although he was the winner, Link still gave James enough respect at the press conference.
"Today's game was decided by a fine line, and LeBron's performance was not bad. I enjoyed this game very much, and I hope he enjoyed it too. Of course, no matter how many times I encounter him, I will never show mercy. "
This is the first time that Link feels that James is not so annoying. This wonderful game is inseparable from the efforts of both parties.
Link can't even wait now, he wants to have an epic finals with James!
After winning the much-anticipated Christmas battle, Link felt that he instantly became much more relaxed.
The night after the game, the players returned to Memphis with their gold belts and victory.
The big family of grizzly bears once again spent a perfect Christmas Eve with each other.
The next day, the video and animation of Link's two key blocks spread throughout the Internet.
Once again, Link becomes the only protagonist in the starry Christmas war.
Whether it's chasing after the enemy or Link's last moment turning around in the air and changing hands to fly away, it's all breathtaking.
After all, these are two exaggerated actions that cannot be played in the game.
Of course, James also received praise from fans. The performance of thirty-year-old James is no less than that of young superstars in their twenties.
Facts have proven that his dominance continues.
For a moment, everything seemed to have returned to three or four years ago. Link and James have once again become the two most high-profile superstars in the league.
On the night after the Christmas game, ESPN will also update the latest MVP rankings.
In fans' expectations, Link and James will definitely rank first and second respectively.
They deserve such praise and praise, and their performance is worthy of the three letters "MVP".
However, when the rankings were actually announced, all fans were dumbfounded.
Link and James, who performed at a dominant level, were not number one.
