NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 251 The Thunder, as stable as a rock, leads 2:0 at home
"Oh? Did he say that?"

Lin Chuan crossed his arms and said jokingly,
"The revenge plot is great. I just want to say, I wish him good luck. Maybe in another timeline, he can fulfill his dream."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Another timeline? So Lin Chuan was just saying a few polite words?
Ignoring the whispered discussions of the reporters below the stage, Lin Chuan lowered his body and looked down at the crowd.

"But this year is destined to belong to us. From the beginning of the season, I firmly believed that we could achieve the achievement of three consecutive championships. Now, it is within reach and we will do our best to achieve it."

"I just hope that the Heat will not be too soft and want the spokesperson they choose to represent LeBron James to be as tough as him. Otherwise, our final game of the three consecutive championships will be too bland and boring."

Suddenly the whole place was silent.

Brooks beside him also smiled.

As expected of him as his disciple, his words before the game were so impressive.

After saying this, Lin Chuan slowly stood up and walked out of the media room without looking back.

After he left, he could hear countless conversations behind him.

Lin Chuan just curled his lips, feeling bored.

The triple crown game is just around the corner.

He always considers the pre- and post-match interviews to be the most boring part.

No matter whether it is harsh words or anything else, it has no substantive meaning.

Everything matters, as long as the truth is revealed on the court.

Lin Chuan stepped into the locker room, put one hand on the door for support, and tapped the door frame twice with his fingers.

The people who were originally chatting suddenly became quiet and all looked at him.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the field and get the victory that belongs to us."

He turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

Everyone behind him stood up together and followed his steps out.

Everyone stood in the player tunnel.

The entrance to the venue has not yet been opened.

The cheers that sounded faintly like a violent storm coming from across the door made everyone a little nervous.

Curry took a deep breath to calm his heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

Durant also moved his body somewhat unnaturally, and the posture seemed as if his jersey made him feel extremely itchy.

Lin Chuan noticed the expressions of the crowd and asked everyone to form a circle and put their hands in the center.

"Everyone, our team has only been around for five years since it was renamed the Thunder. In just these few short years, we have made it to the finals three times and won two consecutive championships. Even if we don't count our achievements this year, looking at the history of the NBA, our achievements over the past few years are enough to stand out in the entire league, and are only weaker than the achievements of a few teams."

Lin Chuan leaned his head against everyone else's and could clearly hear the heavy breathing of the others. He knew that these words slowly made them lose their tension and gradually became excited.

Seeing this, he took advantage of the situation and continued,

"Everyone, we are all witnesses and creators of this team's history. This year, if we can defeat our opponents, we can achieve three consecutive championships and establish a new dynasty in the league. Before this, only the Celtics, Bulls, and Lakers have achieved this achievement, and after this series, we can also join them and become the fourth dynasty of the NBA!"

At this point, Lin Chuan noticed that everyone became excited. Everyone became excited and wanted to go on the court to win the game for the team.

"So, let's go out there and win the game and get that damn trophy! Come on!"

"Come on!!!!" x10.

Wow!
The door to the player tunnel was opened at this moment, and cheers broke out in the stadium.

According to the previous situation, many people would become extremely nervous when hearing such loud cheers and the pressure of winning three consecutive championships.

But at this moment, after listening to Lin Chuan's speech, they all became extremely relaxed.

In everyone's eyes, there was no other intention except winning the game.

"Let's go ahead and let the fans see us."

Lin Chuan said lightly, Durant nodded, and rushed out first.

"It's Durant! Our leader in the past few years! Last year's MVP!"

"Come on! Durant! Win the game for us and win the championship!"

The moment they saw Durant, the fans on the sidelines immediately cheered.

The DJ immediately started introducing loudly.

Then, Ibaka, Klay, and Curry ran out one by one.

After introducing them, the spotlight stopped at the entrance of the player tunnel.

Everyone fell silent.

Focus your eyes on the empty entrance.

They all knew who would be the man who entered the stadium at the last minute.

Now they are all waiting for his appearance!

As a strand of black hair emerged from the passage, in an instant, overwhelming cheers resounded throughout the entire stadium, and the sound was like a physical tsunami that drowned out everyone on the field.

"Linchuan!"

"Linchuan!"

"Our leader!"

"MVP!"

"Savior!"

Without waiting for the DJ to introduce him, the spotlight had already found Lin Chuan immediately.

Everyone was calling out Lin Chuan's name, and the cheers could even be heard clearly on the streets a kilometer away from the stadium.

The protagonist of everything, Lin Chuan, trotted into the court with a calm face.

The moment he stepped onto the court, he put all other thoughts behind him.

The only remaining goal is to help the team win.

the other side.

In a domestic studio.

Yang Yi and Yang Jian, a familiar combination.

When they heard the crowd cheering and chanting Lin Chuan's name through the screen, they couldn't help but get excited.

Yang Yi sighed,
"After so many years, I never thought that a Chinese player would become the leader of a dynasty team and even make everyone fall in love with him."

"Yes, I hope that in this finals, Lin Chuan can achieve that goal, lead the Thunder to three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty, so that the names of Chinese players will be engraved in their records. One day, he will have a seat on the Mount Rushmore of the basketball world."

Yang Jian's eyes were full of anticipation.

On the court, listening to the fans' admiration for Lin Chuan, James couldn't help but frown.

He leaned over and whispered,

"This year, we will definitely take revenge on you. Your dream of winning three consecutive championships is doomed to be shattered."

Lin Chuan tilted his head and looked at James, as if he was thinking seriously.

Then he chuckled.
"Destined? Let's see the truth on the field."

Lin Chuan didn't want to waste his time on a war of words with him.

He slowly stood in the center circle.

Look at Haslem on the opposite side.

When the other party stood up, Lin Chuan also took a deep breath and adjusted his condition to the best.

Then he nodded to the referee, indicating that everything was fine.

The referee made a final confirmation with the two players, then put the whistle in his mouth, picked up the basketball with his hands, and threw it into the air.

Game start!
Haslem gritted his teeth, compressed his legs to the extreme, and used the extreme rebound to jump higher.

He assured me that he had never worked so hard for a jump ball in his life.

This made his jumping ability even exceed the limit.

He was 33 years old but he jumped the highest in his life.

As long as Lin Chuan is the same as before, even if he was the fastest jumper in his rookie season and dunked over James, he would never be able to jump higher than me!
Haslem's hand was getting closer and closer to the ball, and when it was about to touch it, he suddenly felt happy.

Beat him? At the tipoff?!

Snapped!
In Haslem's eyes, Lin Chuan's big hand arrived first and hit the ball out.

Haslem was distracted for a moment, and the next moment, he heard Spoelstra's roar in his ears.

"Fuck, what are you daydreaming about! The ball is going in!"

Haslem came back to his senses and saw Lin Chuan flying into the air again, still holding the basketball tightly in his hands, but this time, he was under their basket.

boom!
Another tomahawk dunk.

Lin Chuan used his best opening style of play in the new season and scored the first goal of the finals.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly in a daze?"

Wade frowned and tried to ask Haslem calmly.

"I just... never mind. Sorry. I'll focus."

James frowned.

Although he had already watched a season, he still didn't understand how Lin Chuan's physical fitness suddenly increased several times.

There was not much difference between his previous running and Haslem's.

But this season, Lin Chuan suddenly seemed to be on a roll, and his rush was not much worse than his feeling.

Explosive power, breakthrough, jumping and speed have all made a qualitative leap.

He didn't understand how a person could change so much in just a few months.

James once suspected whether Lin Chuan had used stimulants.

But the league's multiple investigations also cleared the other party.

That leaves only one conclusion.

Lin Chuan is a superman.

The first half ended quickly.

The older James gets, the more frightened he becomes.

He discovered that the Thunder's lineup had become so terrifying at some point.

Previously, he thought that Durant was not as good as him, but his scoring level was similar. However, in the half-time game, his performance was not inferior to his.

This was the level when he was the second in command.

Curry, who started the game, always made incredible shots, and Ray Allen, the all-time three-point king, couldn't even respond to his opponent.

And their boss, Lin Chuan.

In the first half, he didn't put in much effort. After just a few rounds, he had already committed two fouls on Haslem and didn't dare to defend easily.

After 24 minutes of play, they were already 14 points behind.

The atmosphere in the locker room was not dull.

For many players on the team, with the roster aging so badly this season and ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference, there was little hope.

Being able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals was already a pleasant surprise, and reaching the Finals doubled the goal.

As for beating this Thunder team?
Forget it, man, except for the Heat's most championship-hungry Big Three and Ray Allen, who came to the team with his talent, no one else has thought about it.

Wade sat in a chair, seeming out of place in the relaxed atmosphere around him.

He sighed deeply.

Just now, facing Thompson, he blocked his opponent's face several times but failed to prevent the opponent from making a three-pointer.

And his own breakthrough hit him and was blocked.

Have I become completely old?

He looked up and looked at James, who was still trying to rest and replenish his energy.

Wade could see that the other team was eager to win the game.

He opened his mouth and asked,
"Can you win?"

"Ok?"

James swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Wade, and said firmly,
"You can win."

…………

…………

124: 101.

Here are the full-time scores for Game 1.

James sat on the sidelines, looking at the score, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

即使他这场比赛砍下了19投12中，35分8篮板5助攻，但依旧难阻失利。

His bold words to the media before the game and his firm promise to Wade at halftime.

At this moment it was shattered again.

Throughout the game, the Thunder never fell behind for even a second.

Although the score difference was not too big in the third quarter, it was still around 20 points.

Even so, the Thunder never did anything fancy.

Still playing steadily.

Don't let them see any chance.

James and Wade tried their best in the fourth quarter, but the score difference seemed to be fixed at over 20 points.

The Thunder maintained this exaggerated advantage until the last second.

Win the game steadily.

The second game was held three days later.

Before the game, James vowed to win another victory on the Thunder's home court, just like in the previous game.

"Since we formed the team, we often lose the first game in the series, then adjust and win the second game. This is the style of play we are most familiar with."

James said so.

At the beginning of the game, after Lin Chuan completed a slam dunk, James immediately retaliated.

He then caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

There is a momentum of not giving up until winning.

In the first quarter, he made shots from inside and outside without missing a single shot.

Even though Durant tried his best to defend, even using the blind-eye technique, James still made a blind shot and made a three-pointer.

Seeing that James was in excellent form, Durant even suspected that they were going to be in a tough battle and might even suffer their first loss in the playoffs.

Then...

32: 26.

25: 19.

37: 28.

22: 23.

The above are the scores of the four quarters of the second game.

The Thunder is in front and the Heat is behind.

116: 96.

This is the total score of the second game.

The Thunder once again beat the Heat at home by 20 points.

In order to conserve their energy, they didn't even fight to their heart's content.

Even in the third quarter, he played in his own unique style as usual, shooting madly three-pointers and almost scoring 40 points in a single quarter.

But the score difference widened to more than 20 points again.

The Thunder chose to let all their main players rest in the fourth quarter.

Only Lin Chuan was left to lead the team against the Heat.

There is no other reason, Lin Chuan is just the most stable player.

There were a few games in the regular season last season where he performed poorly.

This season, he has reached another level.

So far, there have been 82 regular season games, 14 playoff games, a total of 96 games, and not a single one has been a poor performance.

Brooks felt extremely relieved that Lin Chuan was the only one leading the team to stabilize the score.

After the game, Lin Chuan simply answered the reporter's question,
"We will turn 2:0 into 4:0 and sweep them at the American Airlines Center to win our three consecutive championships and put a perfect end to our season. Of course, I hope they can fight more fiercely when they play, so that I feel like I am really playing in the finals instead of the All-Star Game. Thank you."
