Chapter 388 Playoff Triple Double

In the end, Li Lei scored 25 points in the fourth quarter and led the Grizzlies to beat the Spurs 101:93, rewriting the big score to a 1:1 tie.

本场比赛，李磊得到全场最高的44分9篮板6助攻5抢断3盖帽，差一点完成季后赛5×5的壮举。

"He dominated the game, he was the best player tonight. Even compared to Thiem, he's no less."

Even as an opponent, Popovich praised Li Lei.

"He is already one of the best players in the league. He can affect the outcome of the game alone. He is writing his own greatness."

Duncan also spoke highly of Li Lei.

The coaching staff and players of the Grizzlies praised Li Lei even more.

Carlisle: "He is the most perfect player I have ever coached. He is omnipotent. He is the best player in this league."

Tyronn Lue: "I'm just a role player, but I also have very good things, such as my teammates. My teammates are the strongest in the NBA: Michael Jordan, Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant... Now, we need to add Last Stone!"

That night, the Grizzlies returned to Memphis.

Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals will return to the FedEx Center in Memphis.

……

But before that, Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off.

76人队最终98：91战胜魔术队，大比分已经是3：0。

The Magic's advancement is only a theoretical possibility.

Of course, everyone knows that theories are just theories.

For decades in the NBA, no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit in a series.

Even the Magic themselves probably don't believe in a comeback.

Immediately after the match, Li Lei had a phone call with Yao Ming.

"Yao Da, congratulations, you have already reserved a seat for the finals in advance."

Yao Ming was also very excited, and said directly on the phone: "I am waiting for you in the finals, and you must also enter the finals."

Yao Ming is looking forward to meeting Li Lei in the finals.

He really wants to win a championship.

If this championship was obtained by defeating Li Lei, Yao Ming would feel that it was more valuable.

……

At this time, domestic fans also began to fantasize.

Yao Ming led the 76ers, Li Lei led the Grizzlies, and they met in the finals.

"The final version of the Chinese Derby, this is definitely the pinnacle of Chinese basketball."

"No, no, no! Now it is the pinnacle of the Chinese men's basketball team. Dayao led the 76ers to book tickets for the finals in advance, and Shitou is also expected to enter the finals... Such a result, besides the Americans, only we Chinese players can do it."

"Hey, I said it upstairs. My little heart can't stop beating, I'm so excited."

"..."

"If your heart stops, you will be afraid. No! You don't even have a chance to be afraid."

"Hahahaha!"

"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it! If Dayao and Shitou enter the finals together, I will watch the live broadcast no matter what."

"That's right, even if you are on sick leave, you have to go home and play basketball!"

"I envy the party at work. During the finals, it happens to be the time for our students' final exams. There is no way to escape!"

……

The domestic basketball forums are very lively.

What followed was that basketball became the most popular sport in the country.

Basketball courts have been built everywhere in the country, and more and more children are playing.

Of course, there is also Li Lei's contribution.

After Li Lei signed a big contract this season, he specially donated a large sum of money to build a basketball court.

In China, the influence of basketball has gradually surpassed football, which was also at its peak at that time.

The reason is also very simple.

First, the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved better results, which is unmatched by the men's football team.

Second, the men's basketball team is a traditionally advantageous sport among China's three major balls, at least in Asia, it is an invincible overlord, and the men's football...

Third, the basketball court occupies a small area and requires less investment.The football field covers a large area, and facilities such as lawns are expensive.

Fourth, that is the star effect of Li Lei and Yao Ming.As the two achieved their own results, more and more Chinese and even Asians fell in love with basketball, and "Yao Shi" became the idol of a large number of teenagers.Especially Li Lei, who has received countless honors, has a great scoring ability, is both offensive and defensive, passionate, and very positive...he is an absolute dominant idol.

……

A day later, the Spurs came to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies away.

Fanatical Memphis fans not only packed every seat in the FedEx Center, but even the large plaza outside the arena was surrounded by Memphis fans who didn't get tickets.

On this night, Popovich also adjusted his tactics and decisively adopted a double-team strategy against Li Lei.

G1，李磊砍下31分8篮板6助攻3抢断2盖帽。

G2，李磊砍下44分9篮板6助攻5抢断3盖帽。

In the two games, Li Lei was the best player in the game and the mainstay of the Grizzlies.

In this regard, Popovich's double-teaming strategy is not wrong.

But the problem is, the name of the player double-teamed by the Spurs is Li Lei.

It is unrealistic for Li Lei to learn how Jordan and Kobe play one-on-two, but after Li Lei attracts double-teams, he distributes the ball to his teammates. This is Li Lei's routine operation.

Li Lei's height of 205cm allows him to have an excellent vision of the whole court, and he can find open teammates in the first time.

As it happens, the other four starters of the Grizzlies can all vote.

Milicic's range can reach the three-point line, and he is a high-end version of "Oku".

Gasol's shooting range is worse than that of Milicic, but the CIC is definitely a handy pick. After all, he is a traditional European insider, and his basic skills are no problem.

Old Jones has always been a 3D player, and the three-pointer is a housekeeping skill.

And Lowry's three-point shooting talent is also very good. Although it is a rookie season, he is no worse than most guards.

So when the Spurs double-teamed Li Lei, the rest of the Grizzlies immediately cost the Spurs a huge price.

全场比赛，米利西奇三分球5中3，得到14分9篮板3盖帽。

洛瑞的三分球更是7中5，拿了季后赛新高的19分3篮板2助攻2抢断。

老琼斯的三分球也有2投1中，拿了7分2篮板1助攻1抢断。

加索尔也打出了高效的表现，全场18投10中，罚球5中4，得到了24分7篮板2助攻1盖帽。

Li Lei "only" scored 21 points, but sent 13 assists and 11 rebounds.

21分11篮板13助攻3抢断1盖帽！

The Spurs forced a triple-double version of Li Lei.

The Grizzlies finally beat the Spurs 107:91, and the big score was rewritten to 2:1.

16 points is also the largest winning point in three games.
