1171: No Chicken Soup Here (5/5)
The total score was 1-1, and the tragic level of the Western Conference Finals began to emerge.
Whether the winner is the Grizzlies or the Warriors, one thing that can be confirmed is that neither of them will pass easily.
Even the final winner must be scarred.
The defeat in this game also calmed down the originally joyful Grizzlies fans.
Yes, it is not time to celebrate yet, so as not to cause sorrow to be caused by extreme happiness.
The Golden State Warriors have won 67 wins this season. They won 74 wins last season and can continue to retain this season.
This team of Warriors is not weak, and they are not on the same level as the Grizzlies' opponents in the first two rounds.
In the news, everyone has a high opinion of the Warriors' victory.
Especially Durant, his shooting percentage of nearly 60% is really amazing.
Most players face off against Link, and their shooting percentage is terrible. Under Link's defense, it is difficult to maintain a normal shooting percentage, let alone achieve a super high shooting percentage.
But Durant did this, after all, he is the youngest scoring winner in the league.
However, in fact, most of Durant's last game were shot against others after using screens.
But people can't control these things, they all counted on Link.
The Warriors received rare praise, but the Grizzlies were drowned by the saliva of Warriors fans.
The four young men of the Grizzlies were undoubtedly the ones who were criticized the worst, while Jokic and Harrell, who failed to hit key three-pointers and key free throws in the last moment, were the two "most popular" among the four.
"Thanks to Harrell, the Warriors ensured a victory! If there is a Western Conference Final MVP, I think Harrell should win this prize."
"Nicolas Jokic is indeed unbearable. His last chance was so good that he couldn't grasp it. No matter how accurate he shot, it would be useless if he couldn't score the ball at a critical moment."
"Jokic lived up to everyone's expectations and he should have saved the game!"
Jokic and Harrell became the targets of everyone's crazy criticism. Some people even felt that the two newcomers were not satisfied, so they simply sprayed on Link.
"Link's chic look when he was trashing the blame at the last moment was really like LeBron. So, neither LeBron nor Link could stop the Warriors!"
James said he was innocent and was shot while lying down.
It is obviously unreasonable to say this. After all, Link was blocked by two people at that time, and Jokic was in an open position. Link was a reasonable pass.
However, Kuroko doesn’t need the most basic logic at all. Warriors fans want to swear Link, but they still need reasons?
The next two games will be played in the Oracle Arena. Therefore, the situation is indeed not optimistic for the Grizzlies.
In an instant, Warriors fans and media were full of confidence again.
When he went to the training hall the next day, Link also found that everyone was feeling a little depressed.
There was no way. I thought I had already won the Warriors, but I was immediately hit by a counterattack, which really hurts morale.
For young players, this sense of frustration is very easy to influence their form.
They will have the illusion that “I seem to be as useless as last year.”
Link discovered that Jokic and Harrell did not dare to look at him until today.
It was obvious that I had never blamed them for a word, but they were depressed instead.
Link doesn't have time to say more. After today's training, the entire Grizzlies will set off to fly to Oakland.
There must be a very warm "welcoming ceremony" waiting for everyone there.
Sure enough, after arriving in Auckland, countless fans waiting to pick up the plane had gathered at the airport.
Of course, most of them are Warriors fans!
As soon as he got off the plane, the Grizzlies players passing through the airport hall saw people on both sides holding up many abusive slogans.
I finally got on the airport bus and prepared to go to the hotel.
As a result, the words on the signs on the highway turned into "Come on, warriors, fvck link".
On the bus, Link also saw Draymond Green's appearance in an interview through his mobile phone.
"Link will never be able to pass the Western Conference Finals, forever!"
This was the first time Green was so rampant after the "Cough Gate" incident.
It seems that the big victory in the second game of the series did make him feel confident.
"It seems that we are not welcome here." Wade beside Link curled his lips. Even he had never seen such a grand "welcome ceremony" before, and even the signs on the expressway were arranged.
People say that Memphis is a barbaric city. Now it seems that Memphis is simply the capital of civilization.
"I'm used to it. When I came to Oakland last year, it was not much better than this." Link shook his head. He still remembered that last season, Warriors fans held up abusive signs 24 hours downstairs in the hotel.
It can be said that he is quite dedicated.
"You're not angry at all." Wade glanced at Link. He thought Link would be furious under the double attack of fans and Green.
"What's there to be angry about? They do this to prove that they are afraid! If other teams are here to play, will they be so quarrel?" Link spread his hands, he has seen many such things.
Oklahoma, San Antonio, Miami back then, and Cleveland now... Link has always enjoyed the highest level of "customs" in these cities.
"I'm a little worried about them. Those guys seem to be very depressed." Link said, turning his head to look at the four young people sitting in the last row of the bus.
Sure enough, looking at these slogans, their eyes were filled with fear, as if they would be eaten in the Oracle Arena.
"They are still young after all, Link. Have you figured out how to talk to them?"
"In fact... not yet. But there will definitely be a solution in the end." After saying that, Link closed his eyes and leaned back, and took a nap.
Wade didn't bother Link anymore, put on his headphones and continued to listen to music.
Now, it's better to let Linker rest for a while.
It is foreseeable that the two games at Oracle Arena will definitely be very, very difficult.
The grizzly bear is about to run in the mud.
But until now, Wade is still full of confidence.
Once upon a time, the Miami Heat also caused trouble for the Grizzlies. However, Link can perfectly resolve it every time.
This year, Link can do it too.
※※※
After staying in the hotel that night, Link quickly called the four young people to his room.
They all thought they would be criticized and then be poured into a bowl of chicken soup.
As a result, Link just asked them to watch the game video.
Moreover, I watched the video of the previous game.
The video has been edited and is not complete. The content played above is basically related to the Warriors.
In the seventh minute of the first quarter, Durant broke through and passed the ball with Green's off-ball screen, which allowed Curry to get a big open position.
As a result, Curry missed the opportunity to overtake the score.
After that, the picture then aimed at Durant. In the last game, he scored 60% shooting percentage, but he had a record of missing two free throws. At this time, the picture showed that free throw.
Then, a collection of Warriors' series of fancy mistakes.
One of the balls was inexplicably transported to the instep, and Dinwiddie almost laughed out loud.
Otherwise, McGee is a member of the five most embarrassing Hall of Fame.
The atmosphere became a little relaxed in the collection of Warriors' free throws and missed free throws.
Soon, the video ended and everyone's eyes also looked at Link.
"Everyone will make mistakes. As you can see, it's not just that you can hit the iron with an open space, miss the free throw, and make mistakes. The guys from the Warriors will do it. You just make mistakes that everyone will make. I know, the Warriors are very strong, but look at these three championship rings!"
Link said, taking out a small box and throwing it in front of everyone. After Jokic opened the box, he saw three shiny championship rings!
"These are all obtained by constantly falling and getting up, falling and getting up again! If you are afraid of falling, don't expect to gain honor in your life! Okay, if you don't talk so much nonsense to you, I have to videotape with my wife. You are not children, and you should be able to figure out some things yourself. Now you are all going back to sleep, and the next day, I will see four real men standing in front of me."
All four young men smiled, then stood up and left Link's room.
I was here to drink chicken soup, but I was caught off guard and took a handful of dog food.
Jokic was about to go out, but was stopped by Link.
"Nicolah, put down my ring. Don't worry, soon, you will also have your own championship ring."
Jokic suddenly blushed and took out the championship ring from his pocket that he was about to take back for research.
The door was gently brought up, and Link stood up and looked at the night view of Auckland outside the window.
Destroy this place, you may spend more effort.
But the scene after the destruction... Link could not wait.
The Grizzlies can never pass the Western Conference Finals? Link likes this kind of random flags the most.
