21 points in a single quarter, 51 points in a single game, and scored 50+ points in the playoffs for the second time in his career...

In the first game of the finals, Link showed his unparalleled dominance.

With injuries and 9 points behind 8 minutes before the end of the game, and with James playing super-god performance, Link still led the team to win.

This made all Memphis fans on the scene fascinated.

After winning, Link just stood in the center of the venue with his arms raised and did not make too special celebrations, but this had already made the atmosphere of the Federal Express Arena boil.

Although it was just the first victory in the series, it was a great victory.

In just one game, Link showed his dominance. He made the Clevelanders understand how difficult it is to grab the championship on his head.

"For the Grizzlies, this undoubtedly took them a big step towards their goal of three consecutive championships. Although the scores in this game are not much different, the power displayed by the Grizzlies is very desperate." Mike Bryn shook his head.

Indeed, the difference in points in this game is not big. The Cavaliers only lost a few points, and it seems that there are still many opportunities to win the game.

But in fact, the terror of this game is not the difference in the score, but the fact that Link and the Grizzlies showed their invincible strength!

A team that is rushing towards three consecutive championships, the kind of strength it should have!

At the post-match press conference, LeBron James, who was supposed to be the protagonist today, looked lonely.

This game was really too morale-damaging because he not only lost the game, but also completely lost to Link in one-on-one.

The scene where he steals but falls to the ground at the last moment is even more a shame.

In order to defeat Link, James left Miami and Dwayne Wade. He abandoned a lot and carried a lot.

But in the end, he still didn't win a single game.

Such a blow is very huge for James.

"LeBron, how do you evaluate Link's performance in the last 8 minutes of the game. This time, there was almost no disturbance between you. Do you think you were completely defeated today?"

The reporter's questions are very sharp. At this time, no one cares about the commentator sitting on the stage. LeBron James is still an unknown person. Even when facing superstars, the reporters will not be rude.

James was silent for a while, then slowly approached the microphone, "Link's performance was great. That might be the best 8 minutes he played in the finals in his career. But this is just the first game, and we will continue to work hard."

"You said the same thing last season, but the Miami Heat were swept four games. Will the tragedy happen again this year?"

As soon as James finished speaking, he was refuted by the reporter.

"I'm at the Cleveland Cavaliers now, and the situation is very different from before."

"But you still lost in today's game..."

Before the reporter finished asking, James stood up and turned around and left the scene angrily!

James has always been a model player in the league. He behaves well in public and is loved by reporters.

But today, Mr. LeBron couldn't hold back.

He could not face such cruel problems again and again. After such a crushing defeat with a score of almost a little different, James just wanted to be alone.

This time, he lost his composure.

Looking at James who left the scene in a furious manner, the reporters were all stunned.

Their questions are not required to be asked, and they have already received the answer.

It seems that in this game, Link did blow up James' mentality.

Yes, I watched my matches use various completely unreasonable methods to score 21 points in a single quarter, and anyone who encounters such a thing will have to be angry.

If James can't adjust his mindset before the next game begins...

Then his ending this year is probably not much better than last year.

※※※

When James returned to the locker room, all the Cavaliers players were still waiting for him, and no one left first.

James looked around the locker room, said nothing, and walked silently to his locker to pack up his things.

"Sorry, LeBron, we should have won the game."

At this time, Kelly Irving's voice broke the terrible atmosphere of silence.

James stopped the movement in his hand and turned his head to look at Irving. But before he could speak, Irving spoke again.

"We didn't help much, we were too nervous, and we made a lot of mistakes... But today, we've learned the experience. We'll definitely be able to give you more help in the next game. Hey, for Cleveland."

Irving looked a little guilty. He and Love scored 21 points and 16 points respectively today. It seemed pretty good, but the number of mistakes of the two combined was 8!

As Irving said, he and Love were not particularly adaptable to the fight today.

The intensity of the finals was something they had never seen in their previous careers.

But after experiencing it once, Irving also gained great confidence. He believed that he and others could perform better in the next game.

Since James cannot lead the team to win one-on-one, then help him!

Winning the championship is not James's own business.

"No one blames this game, it's my responsibility. But we shouldn't be trapped in the quagmire of failure, we should crawl out. The game is over, we should start preparing for the next game. You're right, Kelly, for Cleveland!"

James smiled faintly and looked much better.

Yes, the helpers around me have not yet shown their power. It would be too early to admit defeat now!

Irving's words restored James' confidence. Since the Warriors can win at the Federal Express Arena, why can't the Cavaliers do it?

As long as the next game can be won, everything will return to the starting point

Just as James and his teammates were cheering themselves in the locker room, Link, who scored 51 points today, walked into the Grizzlies' general manager's office after taking a shower.

As soon as Link pushed open the office door, team owner Robert Pera and general manager Chris Wallace enthusiastically embraced such a city hero.

"Great job Link, so wonderful!" The young Pera was very excited. He may be the most pleasant boss of the league in recent years.

The new boss also took over the team, look at the Nets, who are so expensive but have no results, and then look at the Grizzlies who are weak in winning the championship.

Pera gained the greatest reward at almost the smallest price. He gained the most championship with the least money. Of course, he also gained the greatest economic benefits.

"By the way, Pera, I came here to ask you something." After embracing the boss, Link was about to get to the point.

He didn't come up to drink champagne with his boss.

"I promised all one hundred items, Link." Pera was not joking. As long as he could make Link happy, things within his ability would satisfy Link.

"I can't use that much, just one piece. I think..." Link paused, then scratched his head embarrassedly, "I want to ask you, can you help me get the championship ring in advance."

Wallace and Pera were both stunned for a moment, "Take the championship ring ahead of time?"

NBA history, no player has ever had such a requirement. The championship ring is usually awarded at the opening game of the regular season next season, and there is no precedent for rings to be issued in advance.

"This is OK, but... can I ask why?" Pera was a little curious. Making the championship ring in advance was not a question of whether it was money or not, but it took great courage.

If the Grizzlies are unable to win the championship in the end but the ring is made again, then it will be a mistake.

Moreover, when will the championship ring be sent? Why should we go ahead?

So, Link told Pera about Summer's proposal to Rachel.

Pera immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, wrap it on me. Just tell me what else you need."

Pera did not go back on his word and simply agreed to Link's request.

"That's so thankful, Pera. Then I'll go back first and enjoy the victory."

After Link left, Chris Wallace seemed very shocked, "You just agreed?"

"Or what?" Pera smiled, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

"I mean it's not that Link should not be satisfied. I mean, what if we can't win?"

"Can't win? Hahaha, this is exactly the thing I don't worry about the least! Be confident Chris, think about it, if you have Michael Jordan at the peak in your formation, would you still feel that you can't win?"

Wallace shook his head, "Of course not."

"That's right. Link is our Michael Jordan, man. So, I'll deal with this matter tomorrow. The championship ring used for proposals... Well, you should find a famous expert to design it well. By the way, just prepare the champagne for celebrating the championship..."
