unfinished glory

Chapter 241 Who Is The Great Hero

After the Western Conference finals series, the Grizzlies eliminated the Lakers became a new hot spot.For this young team, whether they can win the championship or not, reaching the finals is a great victory.

The struggle of the regular season made team owner Heisley simply not expect the Grizzlies to reach the finals.Now that he has entered, he doesn't know if the team can beat the Celtics.

Out of the expectation of winning the highest honor, he specially met Carlisle and Li Chongxiao, on the one hand to praise them, and on the other hand to test their ideas.

Although the boss has the idea of ​​winning and losing, but as a coach and core player, he naturally hopes to take away the championship trophy.

The boss doesn't understand the game, but Li Chongxiao understands it. Even though they lost to the Celtics twice in the regular season, the Grizzlies, who have gone through the playoffs, especially the Western Conference Finals, are not afraid of any opponents at all.

In the analysis of experts from all walks of life, the Grizzlies, who were able to head-to-head with the Lakers for seven games, did not lose to the Celtics.They are fully capable of defeating the Celtics and becoming a new championship team.

Even in the eyes of many celebrities and experts, the advantage of the Grizzlies is even more prominent, and that is Li Chongxiao.Even the Lakers' two defensive-level small forward + point combination failed to guard him, and it was even more impossible for the Celtics to guard him.

Whether it is Ray Allen or Pierce, they are too poor in defense and can be easily penetrated.If it weren't for their strong defensive combination of Perkins, Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace on the inside, they could deal with Li Chongxiao's breakthrough, otherwise the Celtics would have little room to resist.

……

The finals are very hot, but after all, it will be a matter of a few days, and what the reporters are most concerned about right now is Li Chongxiao's performance in the last game of the Western Conference Finals.

The final 1.7-second lore was the first time in NBA history that there was a buzzer lore in the tiebreaker.This dazzling achievement is destined to be recorded in the annals of history forever and will not be obliterated by other statistics.

And this goal is also very dramatic. The Lakers were still celebrating their lore in the last second, and the Grizzlies lore in the next second, which is quite similar to Fisher's 0.4 seconds.

What's more, there is an operation that violates conventional tactics. It's too bold for someone with a high skill to not call a timeout to shoot the lore.

Carlisle admitted after the game that he never deployed such a tactic.At that time, he thought that the players would ask for a timeout, and he could arrange tactics.At the same time, you can serve the frontcourt after the timeout, saving a little time.

But I didn't expect that Li Chongxiao would "correct the order". Now that the goal is scored, everything he does is just, and it is a legendary story that people talk about.

When Li Chongxiao said that he forgot that the team still had a timeout, some people would smooth things over for him, thinking that if he didn’t remember it, then just pretend it wasn’t there, and don’t do something stupid and insist on calling a timeout.At the same time, drag Webb out and flog the corpse, and use him as an example of barking timeouts and losing the NCAA championship.

Some people are discussing this lore, and some people are lamenting Li Chongxiao's score in this game.

Li Chongxiao scored 67 points, surpassing Jordan's 63 points against the Celtics, becoming a new single-game scoring record in the playoffs.

连他拿到16个篮板，也鲜有人提及。季后赛最高分，已经胜过所有什么“67+16No.1”、“唯一能在季后赛拿65以上，还能抢到15个篮板的球员”这种花里胡哨的“记录”。

Really impactful performance, who cares about the details?How many people remember Chamberlain's 100 points and 25 rebounds in the game?Is it interesting to take Kobe's 81 points and only 2 assists in the game?

In the age of the Internet, there are more and more specific "records". Only classics can be engraved in the NBA's record library and circulated forever.

……

The high intensity visible to the blind in this game is not inferior to the antagonism of playing in the 90th and [-]s.This game is also a "retro war" recognized by many "ancient blows".

What is even more interesting is that Li Chongxiao still has a high shooting percentage in such a high-intensity game.He made 47 of 26 shots from the field and shot 55.3 percent from the field.And this game he only got 10 free throws and hit all of them.Scored 5 three-pointers and 21 two-pointers.

Breaking all kinds of records in one game, and then thinking of his miraculous performance in the past two seasons, a new nickname "Record" was crowned on his head, without even adding the word "Smasher".

Back then, Jordan broke the playoff record and was called "God is playing in the No. 23 jersey", so what is Li Chongxiao?

Of course, the current Li Chongxiao has no way to compare with Jordan, but he is already eligible to enter the "best" list.

Who is the No.1 in today's league?
James was let in, but quickly asked out again.Even though he won the MVP, it only represents an important step towards greatness.Players without a championship are not yet eligible to enter the discussion of "the strongest".

Just like the dream team back then, the three giants fought back and forth, dominating the top of the pyramid, and other players could only stand below, not even qualified to participate in the discussion.

Malone held the second place in the historical scoring list. By 2003, he was surpassed by Duncan with the second championship.

Even if there is only one of some things, it represents another level.

The era of Duncan and O'Neal has passed, and they will never be "the strongest".

Kobe is the No.1 in today's league, and the throne has been continuously consolidated in the past few seasons.Statistics are increasing, honors are accumulating, and championships are increasing. If he wins another championship this season, he is eligible to enter the discussion category of President Hill.

After Li Chongxiao won the MVP, he was expected to be the new king of the next era.Compared with Kobe, he lost in the number of championships and the consecutive championships that were stepped on his shoulders in the first two seasons.

But the Grizzlies eliminated the Lakers and entered the finals. What if they win the championship?
Does that mean that Li Chongxiao kicked Kobe off the league's No.1 throne in advance?

It has to be said that some of Li Chongxiao's fans think very broadly. Before the geese are shot, they think about roasting or cooking.Before winning the finals, I was thinking about the No.1 in the league, and I was very happy.

But this also reveals a truth, the best way to become the leader of the lion group is to defeat the old lion king.

Even if you are a latecomer who can become invincible on the field, some people will ask you to bring a "cat and dog" to sweep the world.Otherwise, it's all kinds of fault picking, what kind of double MVP does not overlap, what 8 wins and 5 losses and so on.

……

The media discussed it lively, but the players involved showed little interest.

After the Cavaliers lost the Eastern Conference Finals, it was difficult for reporters to spot James.

After losing the Western Conference Finals, Kobe was easy to find, and he would show up in the training room very early every day.

Only Li Chongxiao did not escape, but he would not discuss this foolishly.Instead, he changed the subject directly, avoided talking about it, and talked about the finals.

When a reporter asked him whether his most anticipated plot would be a lore to end the series, Li Chongxiao said: "I don't want to fight, I'm too tired. It would be great if the game can be determined by guessing punches."
