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

In just a blink of an eye, Link returned to the Federal Express Arena.

He felt that he had scored consecutively here and defeated the Cavaliers, and was laughing at the jokes here, and was carried onto the technical stage by his teammates here, as if it was just something not long ago.

But in fact, it has been almost half a year since the midsummer of the Grizzlies winning the championship.

At this time, the fourth championship pennant had been hung on the dome of the Federal Express Arena.

Before the opening match of the regular season, Link also won 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, all this has finally been fulfilled.

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

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

The moment he won the championship ring, Nash couldn't help but burst into tears on the court.

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

But unexpectedly, his pursuit actually fulfilled his dream in Memphis.

The awarding ceremony of the championship ring is 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 rule the alliance?

Even, can it surpass Jordan?

The truth of the answer is getting closer.

The regular season of the 17-18 season was a relatively relaxing 82 games for the Grizzlies.

In the east, James' dominance has begun to shake. After losing Irving, a good helper, the Cavaliers' record has not reached an ideal state.

Isaiah Thomas, Ross and others have never been able to replace Irving due to injuries.

On the West side, the Warriors no longer seem interested in competing with the Grizzlies for regular season rankings and seats.

Their offensive is no longer as fierce as in previous years. The start of the game is shocking.

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

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

So much so that the Warriors were far behind by the Grizzlies and Rockets in the regular season.

The feng shui changed, and the Warriors took advantage of the season when the Grizzlies were full of wounded soldiers to win the championship. This year, it was their turn to be unlucky.

In the end, the Grizzlies once again won the No. 1 ranking in the Western Conference with a record of 68 wins.

Although the results are not as beautiful as the record-breaking 75 wins last season, the pressure behind them is not great, and the Grizzlies still successfully reached the top.

On the other hand, the Warriors did not even win 60 times this year. The Cavaliers were even more miserable, and they almost didn’t win 50 times!

The entire regular season was completely ruled by the Grizzlies.

In the playoffs, the Warriors were almost overturned by the Rockets in the Western Conference semi-finals, and the winner was not decided until the tiebreak battle.

If Chris Paul hadn't been injured in the fifth game of the series, God knows whether the Warriors could still reach the Western Conference Finals.

As it turns out, the Warriors no longer have full dominance in the West. They are declining like the Cavaliers.

Sure enough, in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors were once again eliminated by the Grizzlies 4-2. Jokic and his team's growth has left the Warriors helpless.

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

In the finals, the Grizzlies directly beat the Cavaliers to sweep 4-0.

James was alone and after losing Irving, the Cavaliers had no capital to wrestle the arm of the Grizzlies.

This is the third time James has been swept in the finals in his career. Everyone predicts that James will make a decision this summer of 3.0.

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

In the face of bloodlessness, the Grizzlies easily won the fifth championship in team history, with two consecutive championships for the second time.

Compared with last year, the Grizzlies have more obvious advantages. In the entire league, the Grizzlies can't find any opponent!

It seems that the third consecutive championship is very close.

In the summer after two consecutive championships, the Grizzlies' championship lineup has undergone some changes.

Wade received another offer from the Miami Heat after two years.

Although the amount of 2.4 million yuan per year is not high, Wade still hopes to finish his last season with the Heat.

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

It can be seen how sincere Wade's relationship with the Heat is.

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

He also knew that even if he won three consecutive championships in the Grizzlies, he would be just a small role. The protagonists of the Grizzlies are Link, or even Jokic, but it wouldn't be Wade.

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

Wade hopes to end his career as a Heat legend.

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

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

Except for the Grizzlies, the entire league has almost been reshuffled this summer.

After being swept again, James made a decision of 3.0. He left his hometown again with regret and joined the Lakers in Los Angeles.

After Leonard and the Spurs had a "palace fighting drama" that lasted for a whole year, he and DeRozan exchanged their clubs and joined the Raptors.

Cameron Anthony joins the Rockets and forms the Big Three.

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

This summer can be said to have completely changed the alliance pattern, but the Grizzlies' challenger still seems to have not appeared.

In the 18-19 season, the focus of NBA's publicity was Link's second three-game winning streak!

The joke is now that he is smart, he doesn't mess with Link, but instead starts to praise Link.

Facts have proved that following the fans' wishes is the king.

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

With the help of the publicity concept of "Link's second three-game winning streak", the 18-19 season became particularly eye-catching.

In the east, the rise of the Bucks, Raptors and the 76ers also changed the boring situation where the Eastern family dominated.

It seems that this season will be very interesting.

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

No team in the West has won more than 60 wins. The Rockets fell from second to fourth last season with Paul missing most of the games.

The Warriors still have no desires in the regular season and gave in to the West No. 1.

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

But I never expected that the Lakers simply did not make the playoffs.

After reaching the finals for eight consecutive years, James can finally have an early vacation.

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

Losing Durant, the Warriors lost their only capital to compete with the Grizzlies.

In this year's Western Conference Finals, Link played extremely easily because the Warriors could not find a player who could compete with Link.

4 to 1, this time, the Grizzlies worked neatly and the gentleman swept across the board. The myth of the Golden State Warriors was officially shattered!

This year, it was unexpectedly not Antetokounmpo or Embiid who replaced James as the king of the East, but Leonard.

With the rise of newcomers such as Siakam and VanVleet, the Raptors, which seemed to be not luxurious in lineup, were brought into 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 turned out to meet in the finals.

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

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

Leonard is definitely capable of challenging Link now, and Siakam and others have also caused huge trouble for the Grizzlies.

In the first game, Siakam scored 32 points with an incredible shooting percentage of 82.4%!

The Raptors defeated the Grizzlies 118-108 and led 1-0!

At that time, people exclaimed that Link's era was about to come to an end, and the second three consecutive championships were about to be shattered.

But in the second game, Link quickly proved what you mean by your uncle or your uncle.

He scored 54 points in the game, scoring 50+ points in the playoffs for the seventh time in his career. It was only one game away from Jordan's eight times record!

In addition to scoring, Link also limited Leonard's shooting percentage to 40%. It can be said that it made Leonard a slap.

As for Siakam, Jogel let Harrell, who had grown up, be ordered to be transferred to the scene.

As a result, Siakam made only 5 of 18 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%.

As I said, the Grizzlies are still becoming stronger! Link is already strong enough, but his helpers are still becoming stronger.

In the third game, the Raptors took the lead again with a explosive three-pointer. But after that, the Grizzlies did not give the Raptors any chance.

After winning the fourth and fifth games in a row, in the sixth game, in Toronto, Link scored 33 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, and scored another 30 points and triple-double.

Veteran Iguodala also returned to the scene and stood up at the critical moment, making 9 of 15 shots in the game, scoring 22 points.

This guy has not forgotten that his mission is to assist Link, even if he is 35 years old.

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

In the last moment, Link made a key three-pointer with Leonard, and then he became a big iron-blooded on Siakam's head, completely ruining the Raptors' victory.

114 to 110, the Grizzlies strive to win the sixth game, disappointing Toronto fans!

Although the Raptors are only 4 points away, they no longer have a chance.

The total score is 4-2, and the Raptors are indeed eye-catching. They have made the Grizzlies encounter a real threat and let the fans see a truly wonderful final.

But unfortunately, they still did not overthrow Link's rule.

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

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

The three years that had been agreed upon in the first place were only the last year.

Sure enough, it was just a blink of an eye.
Chapter completed!
