Chapter 961 The Last Emperor
After the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals, Li Liang and the Kings teammates wore a black Western Conference championship cap together.
Li Liang's team reached the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive year, becoming another player to achieve this achievement in addition to the Celtics players in the 1960s.
The Celtics are a group of people entering the finals together on one team, while Li Liang enters the finals alone with five different teams.
At the post-match press conference, Li Liang wore a hat and sat behind the table, facing the reporter's interview, but did not speak for a long time.
There is no way, I want to laugh too much, I don’t know what to say.
There is nothing in this world that is more enjoyable than winning. If there is, it means winning all the time.
The reporter below really wants to remind Li Liang, stop laughing, answer the questions carefully.
Finally, Li Liang held back his smile and said, "This is the most important victory in my career and my best performance. I didn't even look at how many points I scored. I just kept shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting, and feeling great, really great."
Li Liang's 72 points undoubtedly shocked the entire league and the entire American sports industry.
This battle undoubtedly made Li Liang completely accorded and became the second monument after Michael Jordan.
Moreover, Li Liang's career continues, he is only 27 years old.
Jordan is at this age and it will take one year before he wins the championship.
Moreover, after Li Liang entered the league, he had never experienced any major injuries and was attending all the time almost every year.
I played an Olympic Games in the summer of 2016, but I still didn't lose any games in the 2017 season, and I was both a player and a coach.
It can be foreseen that in the next five years, Li Liang will have strong dominance over the alliance.
Moreover, Li Liang knew in his heart that his strength still has room for improvement.
When all his numbers reach 99, he will rise to a completely new realm, a realm that cannot be touched by mortals.
Li Liang is just a demigod now. When he succeeds in his cultivation, he will be the real basketball god, the kind who plays without losing.
It's exciting to think about it.
Li Liangzhi was proud to win the Warriors and leave from Oakland with the silver trophy of the Western Conference champion.
Because he knew that the hardest bones had been gnawed, and the remaining finals were just a formality.
What awaited him in the finals was the Boston Celtics, where no tigers were in the mountains and monkeys called the king.
Fortunately, James Harden was traded to the Celtics this year, otherwise the Eastern Conference champion lineup would be even more ugly.
Whether it is the Knight, the Raptor or the original Celtic, it is not enough to see in front of the king.
The Celtics have a regular season record of 55 wins and 27 losses. As the number one in the East, it is not as third in the West, as the Kings.
So the first game of the finals will be played in Sacramento.
This is the first time the Kings have ushered in the finals after they moved to Sacramento in 1985.
For the Sacramento people, it's a basketball festival.
Because everyone knows that defeating the Warriors, the championship is already the king's possession.
Including Boston Sports Media, they themselves don’t believe that the Celtics have a chance to win the championship.
Being able to enter the finals has been a very successful season for the Celtics.
James Harden's deal has been successful.
As the saying goes, before fighting, the Celtics players themselves do not believe that Bruce Lee, who can beat the super gods, has experienced the test of blood and fire.
Li Liang was even happier. All seven games were home games. How could you be unhappy?
Of course, thinking so in my heart, I can't be proud of myself, so Li Liang still asked the whole team to prepare for the game seriously.
Among the Kings players, the one who feels the most complicated is of course Rondo.
As one of the three former Celtic giants, he wore the Celtic jersey and experienced many classic battles.
Have had glory, loss, honor, and stains.
Of course, with Rondo's personality, it is of course the best thing to win a championship in Boston.
As for Cousins, he participated in the playoffs for the first time and was led to the finals by the big guys. It really felt like Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden.
During the Western Conference Finals, Cousins spent most of his time on the bench.
Because he has too many flaws on the defensive end and has no ability to crush the offensive end.
It's different in the finals. The Celtics' inside defense ability and rotation ability on the outside are much worse than the Warriors.
Li Liang told Cousins directly, "How about you letting you play with a FVP in the finals?"
Cousins smiled foolishly like a fool, and he thought he really had that opportunity.
In June, the finals started.
As one might expect, the Celtics who rushed out of the east were no match for the king at all.
In the first game of the Golden One Center in the finals, James Harden was locked by Li Liang, Gordon and Rondo.
The Celtics team, without Harden's personal singles, will basically be abolished on the offensive end.
The king's first battle was 111:90, and he easily won the big score.
In the second game, Stevens changed the starting lineup and mentioned Thomas Jr. to partner with Harden in the starting position to enhance the firepower in the backcourt.
Stevens knew that if the attack could not be attacked, everything would be in vain.
As a result, the offense was done well, but the defense was no longer possible.
Thomas Jr. and Harden are shorter and slower, and the Celtics have no strength in the backcourt defense.
How can the playoffs without defense be called the playoffs?
In the first three quarters, the Celtics relied on offense to fight against the King. In the fourth quarter, as soon as the King's defensive strength increased, the Celtics were finished.
The Celtics suddenly silenced on the offensive end and were hit by the Kings with a 14:0 climax, and the score was suddenly pulled apart.
This game seemed to be in the regular season, with each other slowly attacking each other in the front, and the intensity in the fourth quarter was over.
Although the king was one level behind the Warriors in terms of overall strength, Li Liang made up for it with his super god performance.
The Celtics' overall strength is still half a level worse than that of the king, and Harden's ability to ride alone to save the master is far worse than that of Li Liang.
The Kings won another game on Golden One, leading 2:0.
The situation was very good for the king.
In the next two games, the game will be played in North Shore Garden, known as the Devil's home court.
But for Li Liang...
Before Li Liang went to Boston with the team, he posted a message on Twitter: "Boston fans, I'm here."
This news seemed provocative, but unexpectedly it was forwarded and liked by local media, sports people and a large number of fans in Boston.
This scene has a feeling of "welcoming the imperial army into the city for inspection".
Li Liang's popularity in Boston has always been so high that it is incredibly high.
Moreover, Li Liang, who has always been a bit shy of the media in the past, actually played an interview program on a local TV station in Boston, which is incredible.
At the same time, the reputation of the savage tongue is no less than that of the Boston media in New York, and some people like Li Liang.
Even though he was once a Laker, even if he never said he was going to play in Boston.
Maybe Li Liang looks more like Bird in style.
In short, this friendly atmosphere and relationship led to no topic in the finals.
Maybe the Celtics think they can't beat anyway, so why not enjoy the game.
In the third game, Li Liang did let Celtic fans enjoy basketball.
He scored 33 points in a single game, sent 12 assists, grabbed 11 rebounds, and with an excellent triple-double performance, he killed the Celtics without any blood, and achieved an absolute lead of 3:0.
The finals have lost their suspense, it depends on where Li Liang and the King want to be crowned and ascended the throne.
Obviously, Li Liang wants to win a championship in Boston.
This ancient sports city, 17 championship flags are flying over the North Shore Garden.
Although we can't add one more side to this place, in Li Liang's heart, this is Boston's 18th championship flag.
So, on June 11, the fourth battle between the two sides was a battle without much suspense.
The King defeated the Celtics easily at North Shore Garden with 97:90, 7 points and held the cup at North Shore Garden.
This reminds people of the NBA in the early 21st century. The Western champion entered the finals and swept the Eastern champion and swept the gentleman, with almost no suspense.
In five years, Li Liang won the O'Brien Cup for the fifth time, under 17 championship flags.
He truly created his own era and became the undeserved basketball emperor.
His rule continued, but no one expected that he would become the last emperor of the NBA.
Chapter completed!
