After defeating the Spurs in the first game, the Grizzlies' generals directly showed confidence. Relying on this new style of playing, they directly defeated the Western Conference's powerful Spurs and successfully won the ticket to the finals.

In Jiang Dongbing's opinion, the Spurs are a pity. If the lineup is not too strong, they would not have been swept out by the Grizzlies.

The third leader in the Spurs is Sean Elliott, nicknamed "Superman". Elliott naturally can't find any problems at his peak. He is also the top small forward in the league.

However, due to chronic kidney disease, Elliott's condition has been ups and downs in recent years, especially in the past two seasons, which has dropped to averaging only about ten per game, and its shooting percentage is still quite low, only more than 40%.

This shows how shabby the Spurs' lineup is. If Duncan hadn't been strong enough, this Spurs would have no chance in the playoffs, let alone the Western Conference Finals.

This also indirectly shows how powerful Duncan is. You should know that under normal circumstances, he has won the championship with such a shabby lineup. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to do better than Duncan.

But now Duncan has no chance to win the championship, and they have been eliminated by the Grizzlies led by Jiang Dongbing.

...

After winning the Western Conference Championship, the Grizzlies started to party excitedly in the locker room.

After rushing out of the West, is it still far from the championship? Just wait for the Knicks and Pacers to decide the winner. No matter who wins in the end, the Grizzlies have absolute confidence to kill them and win the championship.

Now the two teams are in a 3:1 situation, and the Knicks have the advantage. If nothing unexpected happens, they will eventually get tickets to the finals like normal circumstances.

In this round of series, Jiang Dongbing also saw from the beginning. Although the East is relatively weak, the respect that should be given should be given.

The big reason why the Pacers are so far behind in the big score is actually because of Reggie Miller's misperformation.

Reggie Miller's performance in this round of the series was really fascinating, with an average of only 36% shooting percentage, which made Jiang Dongbing stunned.

In addition, Rick Schmitz, the second Pacers leader, also played a relatively embarrassing performance. This player who has been Yao Ming's draft template averaged only 12 points per game.

If it weren't for the Pacers' character player's outstanding performance and the old gorilla Ewing was injured, the Knicks would have swept and advanced long ago.

Ewing was directly injured in the second game of the series, and his injuries were not minor. Not only was he unable to participate in this round of series, but even if the Knicks entered the finals, Ewing could not play.

This is undoubtedly a good news for the Grizzlies. Although it is extremely unkind to celebrate the injury, a super veteran like Ewing is actually not unpredictable to be injured in a high-intensity game like the playoffs.

Even if you are not injured with the Pacers, the chance of getting injured is extremely high when the Knicks play against the Grizzlies.

You should know that Ewing in the regular season averaged nearly 35 minutes of playing time, even similar to O'Neal's playing time, which was much more than Olajuwon and Robinson. Even Ewing could not withstand such high-intensity games, even the Iron Apes.

A few days later, the Knicks successfully eliminated the Pacers with a well-rounded lineup and received tickets to the finals when they were missing Ewing.

Reggie Miller directly beat his position in this round of series...

"Jiang, to be honest, asking you to coach the Grizzlies was probably the wisest decision I have ever made in my life!" Stewart shouted excitedly, hugging Jiang Dongbing.

The finals are about to start, and the opponent is the Knicks, whose strength is not as strong as the Grizzlies, and there is also a core player Ewing, so it is difficult not to win this game.

Seeing that the championship was about to be won, Stewart was not excited and wanted to hold Jiang Dongbing and kiss her hard.

"Jing, don't worry, as long as you are with the Grizzlies for a day, our draft picks and trades are all decided by you!"

"You are really the savior of our Grizzlies!" Stewart shouted excitedly again.

When Jiang Dongbing heard this, he couldn't help but feel much more at ease. After winning this season, he will continue to make large-scale adjustments to the Grizzlies' lineup. Now with Stewart's guarantee, it will be much easier to act in the future.

Of course, if you don’t win the championship, the lineup will definitely have to be adjusted even more, but the chance of not winning the championship is too small.

It’s not that Jiang Dongbing looks down on players like Alan Houston, but that the Knicks team has no championship appearance.

Especially with Ewing's absence, O'O and Miller on the Grizzlies will definitely become a super trouble for the Knicks.

...

"We are not very lucky. At such a critical moment, we lack the core players of the team."

"Ewing is the most experienced veteran in our team and the totem of our team. His absence is a huge loss for us."

"However, we are still very confident in winning this round of finals and bringing a championship trophy to New York fans."

At the press conference before the game, Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy said confidently.

If Van Gundy is confident of winning the championship, he will definitely not be confident. If he doesn't see the performance of the Grizzlies against the Lakers and the Spurs, he may be lucky, that is, the Grizzlies players are too young and may make mistakes in the playoffs.

But now the young Grizzlies players are extremely mature in the playoffs, and Van Gundy is very panicked now, but he cannot show his timidity at this moment.

A few years ago, when Old Nelson was the head coach of the Knicks, he wanted to trade Ewing with O'Neal, but this idea directly made Old Nelson fired by the Knicks.

Just as Van Gundy said, Ewing is really the totem of the Knicks. Old Nelson's idea directly triggered a mutiny in the locker room. In order to appease Ewing and others, Old Nelson naturally wanted to be taken out to sacrifice to the sky.

From the perspective of God now, if this deal is really done, the Knicks will make a lot of money, and this deal is not a fantasy, because Ewing was still in his prime at the time, and O'Neal's rookie contract at the Magic ended.

With O'Neal's personality, he must also agree with this deal. He is definitely more inclined to come to a super prosperous city like New York.

Just imagine if O'Neal came to New York, the Knicks could at least guarantee a ten-year prosperous period. It's hard to say whether they can have a dynasty, but at least two or three championships will be fine.

If you look at it like this, Old Nelson is really a wizard.

At the same time, Old Nelson's experience also reminded Jiang Dongbing that he must have absolute control over the personnel rights of his team, otherwise even if he has a superhuman vision, he will have no place to use his skills.
