Latest website: The 13-14 season finals started on June 5 and ended in just eight days.
There is no doubt that the process of this round of the finals is unexpectedly short. Who could have imagined that the Miami Heat, with the three giants, could not win even a game in this finals.
When Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh announced that they would meet on the South Coast, people said that the Heat could win at least eight championships.
The results of it? The Miami Heat reached the Finals for 4 consecutive years, but only won once, with a winning percentage of only 25%.
This is indeed not an overly dominant achievement.
Or maybe, because the Heat met the more dominant Grizzlies.
How hard is it for the Grizzlies to win this time? First, they became the sixth team in NBA history to be able to win consecutive championships.
Regardless of the number of consecutive championships, the Lakers just did it four years ago. But a closer look will reveal that the only teams in the NBA that can achieve consecutive championships were the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Rockets and Bulls.
Even though the San Antonio Spurs won three championships in five years, they did not have even one consecutive championship experience.
And now, the Memphis Grizzlies officially joined the ranks of the consecutive championship team. This small city team that didn't exist a few years ago has undoubtedly entered the league's greatest team.
In addition to the Memphis Grizzlies, Link has undoubtedly greatly improved his historical status and influence by winning this championship.
He won his first championship trophy last year, and people might say he was just a fluke. After all, there is no shortage of players or teams in NBA history who fell immediately after winning a championship.
But this year, Link's championship is not that simple. After winning the FMVP and the O'Brien Cup, Link has also won four honors this year: MVP, Best Defensive Player, FMVP and Championship!
The first is the MVP and FMVP. The ability to get the MVP shows that a player completely dominated the league during the regular season. And getting FMVP shows that this player played the best in the finals. Of course, first of all you have to be able to make the finals.
Therefore, if there is a player who can get these two honors at the same time in a season, it can only show one problem-this player is definitely a superstar among the superstars and a big name among the big names. From the regular season to the finals, this player completely dominated the entire season.
Wade is great, right? But he has no regular season MVP in his career. Iverson has a regular season MVP, but he has only won one game in the finals. Where's Kobe? He has both MVP and FMVP honors, but not in the same season.
There are so many superstars in NBA history who can harvest both MVP and FMVP in a single season. There are 8 people in total.
Larry Bird, "Magic" Johnson, Willis Reid, "Big Dream" Olajuwon, O'Neal, Duncan, James and Michael. I have me on any list. Jordan is the only one before Of the 8 players who can get MVP and FMVP in the same season.
And those eight players, each of them has a very prominent name, and they are undoubtedly among the top 20 in history. Link is now the ninth, and his historical status is naturally greatly improved.
What if the requirements are raised? If you get the MVP and FMVP in the same season, plus the best defensive player and the championship, there are only two of those nine people left!
Duncan also won the MVP and FMVP, but he has never won the best defensive player award in his career. Like Duncan, James does not have the best defensive player.
Michael Jordan also said that he finally did not have himself in this list.
Jordan won the best defensive player once, and he also won the MVP that year. But it is a great pity that the Bulls led by Jordan did not make the finals that year, and they missed the FMVP. Therefore, as strong as Jordan, he did not win the MVP plus FMVP plus the best defensive player plus the championship in the same season.
Before Link, Olajuwon was the only one who had done such an unbelievable thing. This is why Olajuwon's historical status is so high. If you look closely, you will find that Olajuwon's personal honor is actually not as good as many stars. But most of the stars who have more honors than him have historical status inferior to him.
It is precisely because Olajuwon is a player who has truly achieved a single season of personal honors Grand Slam, so he is so strong in people's hearts.
And now, Olajuwon is finally not alone. Of course, he also withdrew from the ranks of "historical only".
Link became the second player in history and the first player since the 21st century to win four honors in a single season.
Even if Link suddenly announced his retirement today, but with this season, his short four-year career is enough to leave a strong mark in NBA history!
Therefore, Link and the Grizzlies won this year's championship, not just as simple as winning.
Many people discovered after the game that they witnessed not only the birth of a new champion, but the beginning of another legend!
Indeed, Link is an older rookie. He was 22 years old when he entered the league. In a few days, Link will be 26 years old.
26 years old, not old for a professional player, but never young. But even so, people still believe that this will be the beginning of a new legend.
Link has four full years before he is 30 years old. In four years, he still has countless miracles.
What's more, even if Link is over 30, people believe that his dominance will never decline suddenly. James is also 30 years old, but he is still one of the best players in the league.
On the second day, the headline given by ESPN clarified the peculiarities of the Grizzlies winning this time, "Champions are not just champions."
The article stated that although the Grizzlies' two consecutive championships are already very great, this may only be the beginning of a greater era. For now, the Grizzlies are still on the rise. They are also the team closest to the third consecutive championship after the Lakers at the beginning of the millennium.
The Grizzlies' victory this time is of great significance.
After the finals, Bill Simmons is definitely the most uncomfortable. As a professional "Lin Hei", Simmons really wanted to write an article to suppress Link's spirit. But even his club ESPN chose to praise Link, Simmons can only choose to remain silent.
Simmons's discomfort represents the state of most fans in the United States at this time.
A truly great superstar is always full of controversy. If no one hates him, it can only mean that the star is not strong enough.
But whether you like it or hate it, these are the attention and influence of that star. After all, it is not easy to make so many people hate oneself by strength.
The day after the Grizzlies won the championship, almost all topics on social media were related to Link. The top three topics in the hot search are all Link!
This is the best proof of Link's huge influence now.
In addition to the championship and basketball itself, people were also shocked by the sudden public love affair between Link and Rachel. Even many people who don't pay much attention to basketball or sports usually eat melons.
But for this matter, most of the comments on the matter on social media are full of "sour taste".
"I am opposed to this marriage, how could this be so!?"
"I'm curious about how Link got together with Rachel. I haven't seen it before. There is no clue! Link hasn't had any scandals off the court, and it turned out to be a big deal."
"Promise me, Rachel, the mouth can only be used for food in the future, okay?"
"You are really weird, is it possible that adults can't speak with their mouths? Uh... why do you all say I am an honest person?"
On the Internet, people have very heated discussions about Link and Rachel~EbookFREE.me~ and even many legendary players are very interested in Link.
O'Neill said in interviews, "Link may be the most influential championship in recent years, let alone, I want to go to social media to see more information about Link and Rachel's love history!"
The boss of the Bobcats, Michael Jordan, was much calmer when facing the reporters' camera. "I knew he would have such an influence, but it's still a bit worse than me."
The whole world is talking about Link and the Grizzlies. Whether people are concerned about his love history or his championship experience, the same thing is that Link is the protagonist.
However, at this time, the protagonist who was being watched by the whole world was sitting on the plane returning to Memphis, holding the championship, closing his eyes and smirking.
Tired for a whole year, Link, who had partyed all night last night, has fallen asleep holding the Wyliobrian Cup.
In his dream, he dreamed of the scene when he won the championship trophy for the third time...
