NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 252: Leave no chance! Win the championship without losing in the playoffs! Build the Thunder Dynasty!

The Thunder won two games at home cleanly.

Even though James averaged 37 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists per game with a shooting percentage of an astonishing 58%, they were still unable to pose any threat to the Thunder.

In both games, the Thunder won by more than 20 points.

Just like they did in the regular season.

The entire league is now curious about only one thing.

That is whether the Heat can break the Thunder's unbeaten streak.

Let them actually lose a game in the playoffs.

You know, even if the Lakers were OK and beat all their opponents in the Western Conference, they still got caught off guard by Iverson in the first game when they came to the finals, facing the 76ers team that was weaker than themselves and almost failed to break through the Eastern Conference.

He scored an astonishing 48 points, leading the team to win the game, but also inflicted the Lakers' only defeat in the finals.

As for the Thunder, no one knows whether they will be like the Lakers.

When you relax, your opponent will strike hard and steal your victory.

There are still a few days until the competition.

Many news media have also begun to analyze the finals.

Scoop Bayless, a well-known American basketball commentator, made a lot of remarks on his show.
"Although I don't like LeBron James, if I make a historical ranking of NBA players, I would rank him around 50th, and I don't think he can lead a team, in other words, under Wade's leadership, to win against the Thunder even once, but I guess, maybe the Thunder will give up one game."

"Why? They have no reason to do so. This is their only chance to win the championship."

The show guests couldn't help but raise questions.

"Well, I'll tell you why."

Belles changed into a comfortable position, crossed his legs and explained to the audience,
"One is to relax, but that's not the main reason. They've played for too long these years and need to take a break. The second reason is to return to their home court to win the championship. There aren't many teams that have won three consecutive championships. If they choose to sweep their opponents 4-0, they can only hold their trophy at the American Airlines Center in Miami and celebrate the success of their dynasty in a foreign land. If they choose to give up one game, they can hold the trophy at home and be crowned the new king amid the cheers of countless fans. This must be a huge temptation."

"That makes sense, but I don't think the players would sacrifice their only undefeated playoff season for that."

The guest continued to refute,
"What you said is too much speculation about their psychology, and it is all very hypocritical. The value is not as good as the 16-game winning streak. I don't agree with it."

"Well said, so the third reason is the most important."

"please say."

"After the new president was appointed, the alliance has undergone many changes, and business has also improved a lot. So think about it, if it is to maximize business, what will the alliance do?"

After hearing this explanation, the guests suddenly understood, and then laughed and applauded.
"Fuck, Byleth, you are such a genius! But aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by saying that?"

Byleth smiled in silence.
"Isn't this what we commentators do? If we don't dare to speak, we might as well not do it!!!"

On the plane, Lin Chuan closed his phone, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

Despite being an extreme LeBron hater, Belles did a pretty good job in this analysis.

Although they didn't set out to lose a game.

But he has good thoughts about the alliance with a new president.

Adam Silver is indeed someone who is capable of manipulating game results for commercial maximization.

He even had a history of car accidents.

In the third game, when he saw that the chief referee was the familiar Foster, he guessed what the league was thinking.

but……

Lin Chuan opened his eyes again, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce through everything in front of him.

The league didn't want them to win and achieve the feat of being undefeated in the playoffs, but he insisted on leading the team to win the game!
Create this unique myth!
At this time, the plane also ended the gliding phase and landed on the ground.

After leaving the airport, Lin Chuan looked outside.

It is summer now, with coconut trees, beaches and ocean.

This is the best moment of the South Coast.

Lin Chuan then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

But their arrival this time brought a sad atmosphere to this resort.

They hold on to hope, but can only watch the opponent team lift the trophy at home.

After doing it once in New York last year, Lin Chuan felt some happiness.

At this moment, I am already enjoying it.

This time, it's Miami's turn.

Two days later.

The competition started in full swing.

Nearly 20,000 people poured into the American Airlines Center, filling the entire stadium.

Before the game, everyone on the Heat team was working hard to warm up.

They all knew that they were currently trailing by a large margin of 2:0.

If they can win this game, they still have some hope of fighting with this invincible team for another round.

Maybe there is a one in ten thousand chance that, in the end, despite everyone being pessimistic, I can win the 2014 NBA championship.

Even if the probability is only 8%, but maybe?
But if we didn't win this game, but lost...

There have been more than 120 playoff situations with a score of 0:3 in NBA history.

And the number of teams that were able to come back and win the series is...

0 pieces.

Therefore, their desire to win has reached its peak at this moment. If they lose, everything will be ruined and they will never have a chance to win the championship again.

Lin Chuan was on the other side and saw everything clearly.

He couldn't help but feel happy.

Yes, this is somewhat interesting, otherwise it would be too boring.

Otherwise, even if the referee blows a black whistle, the Heat will not be competitive. Only if they start to exert their full strength can they compete with them.

This way, the game will be interesting enough.

The players began to enter the court and the Heat fans on the sidelines kept booing them.

It sounds like ghosts howling and if a child hears it, he may even be scared to cry and have nightmares at night.

But all this is of no use to the Thunder team.

They all have the same ambition of winning the championship, and at this moment they are all focused and have no other thoughts except winning the game.

Amid the boos, their warm-up shots became even more accurate.

Lin Chuan stood in the center circle, looked at Foster and nodded.

The basketball was thrown into the air.

G3 begins!
After a familiar opening, the Thunder took the lead with 2 points.

Lin Chuan quickly retreated to the inside, then glanced at Foster with his peripheral vision, thinking,

"Come on, let me see your skills!"

James held the ball outside the three-point line, accelerated and broke through in an instant, and went straight to the basket for a layup.

Ibaka blocked the shot cleanly and the whistle sounded at the same time the ball was hit.

?

Ibaka even fainted, does this count?

But seeing that the referee had no intention of explaining, he had no choice but to swallow his frustration.

James made both free throws to tie the score.

The fight lasted for more than twenty rounds.

End of first quarter.

The score is 25:20.

The Heat took a single-quarter lead for the first time in the series.

Sitting on the sidelines, Lin Chuan gradually figured out Foster's tactics.

Just like last time, the strength of the two teams was forced to be closer due to double-standard referees.

Lin Chuan curled his lips.

I thought I would see him use some refereeing skills that I had never seen before, but I didn't expect it to be the same as before.

That's too boring.

Without any new moves, the Heat have little chance.

Of course, Lin Chuan did not choose to say it directly to Foster because he knew that the referee had great power and if he provoked him like this, he would be sent off directly with two Ts.

By then, he will have no control over the outcome.

Even so, Lin Chuan has not made any big moves.

Just playing normally.

At the end of the first half, the Heat had already taken a 10-point lead.

Foster also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Thunder team seems to be more sensible and is prepared to give him and the league face and not fight.

As long as the Thunder don't explode in the third quarter, everything will be fine.

Foster thought so and came back on the court after a 15-minute rest.

He whistled the game carefully in the third quarter.

While trying to maintain the balance of the game, he also tried every way to benefit the Heat.

In the third quarter, the Heat still maintained a 13-point advantage and took it into the final quarter.

Foster was much happier.

It seems that he can complete his work successfully this time.

As long as he keeps a close eye on Lin Chuan, the score can be changed to 2:1 this time.

On the sidelines, the Thunder called a timeout.

Lin Chuan walked up to the group and whispered,

"Kevin, Stephen, Klay, start working hard in advance."

The three nodded.

in the subsequent time.

The Thunder attack.

Klay received the ball from the outside and fired.

Swish!
The Heat's offense failed.

Curry takes a three-pointer!

Swish!
Durant three-pointer!
Swish!
Lin Chuan!

Directly fire a long three-pointer!
Swish!
In two minutes, several people scored three points each, like a heavy rain.

Before anyone could react, they had reversed the score.

Foster's expression was visibly grim.

He forgot.

Lin Chuan did the same thing in last season's final.

Pretend to be dead first, and then overtake at the last moment.

This time, he did it again!
Fake!

His real disaster is Lin Chuan!

The Heat's sudden fall behind made them extremely nervous.

The balls that could have been scored were now constantly missed.

Even James couldn't score as easily as before.

Entering the inside, Lin Chuan's blocking technique, which was cleaner than a dish washed in a dishwasher, made it impossible for Foster to find any ambiguity to make the call, and he could only watch him block the shot ruthlessly.

In the remaining two minutes, no matter how hard Foster tried, he couldn't help the Heat score a goal out of thin air.

He could only run back and forth with a gloomy face following the players on the field.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to the call.

It is said that the players decide the game at the last minute.

In fact, he was venting his anger because he was stunned by the Thunder's sudden outburst and couldn't control the direction of the game.

Finally, the game is over.

109: 118.

The Heat lost to the Thunder by 9 points at home.

In this game, James scored 41 points again, but still failed to help the team win the game at home. He could only watch Lin Chuan lead the Thunder to rewrite the score again.

At this moment, the score has become 0:3 and they are three games behind.

The Thunder are just one game away from winning the championship.

As the Thunder won three games in a row, the referee for the fourth game was replaced by someone else.

Lin Chuan also smiled knowingly when he saw the list.

He understood what this meant.

The league, or rather, Silver, admitted defeat.

This season, he can't do anything weird.

Like last season, let the game return to its original intention.

The quality of the players determines the outcome of the game.

Before Game 4, James' usual rhetoric changed from revenge and preventing the Thunder from establishing a dynasty to hoping to win the game and avoid a sweep.

On the other side, Lin Chuan did not get complacent or make any bold statements, but simply said,

"At the beginning of the season, I had anticipated all of this. At this moment, we are just proceeding step by step according to the original plan. Winning the championship has always been in our plan, and winning all the games in the playoffs is a pleasant surprise. I can only say that God rewards hard work. This is the reward for hard work. Next, I should go and get the trophy that belonged to us from the beginning."

After saying that, Lin Chuan and the others returned to the court.

This time, even the Heat fans on the sidelines booed, but it was a lot quieter than the previous game.

Lin Chuan didn't expect that the Heat's home game would be silenced before the fourth game even started.

The game is about to begin.

But this time, the Heat did not continue their tough form in Game 3.

Perhaps the 0:3 deficit made them lose the will to fight.

Perhaps after exceeding their targets, they just want to get off work quickly.

Lin Chuan and his men didn't even feel how strong the resistance from the other side was.

It collapses at the first touch.

Except for the Big Three of the Heat, everyone else is even distracted.

Lin Chuan didn’t know whether they realized that they were still playing in the finals.

Or maybe he's already on a boat in the Pacific Ocean fishing.

At halftime, the Thunder had a 25-point lead.

The Heat fans on the sidelines also began to leave in an orderly manner.

When Lin Chuan returned to the stadium again, he saw that the sidelines were even less crowded than in the high school league.

The rest of the game was turned into garbage time by the Thunder.

Once the time is up, you can declare victory in the game.

15 minute later.

With a sharp whistle, the game ended.

89:122
Lin Chuan stood in the field, taking deep breaths.

Even the last game to win the championship was so stress-free.

But when the game was really over and they won the finals and won three consecutive championships, he still felt the excitement in his heart.

Unexpectedly, in his third year in the league, he actually led the Thunder, a team that had only been established for ten years, to win three consecutive championships, which is rare in the entire NBA.

From this moment on, they can announce that the Thunder officially established their own dynasty in 2012-2014!

While Lin Chuan was still in a daze, the other members of the team came over, hugged him and started celebrating.

Celebrating their undefeated playoff championship journey this season.

Lin Chuan was surrounded by the crowd. He raised his head high and shouted to the whole world,

"we are the champion!!!"
