super heavy artillery

Chapter 498
In addition to paying attention to the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, An Luo and others stayed together every day, practicing some tactics and coordination according to Donovan's requirements.Like the Western Conference finals, they always have plenty of time to study and prepare.

The entire Thunder, except for an interview with An Luo, Westbrook and Paul George, has never appeared in the public eye.

However, they themselves still made a point of celebrating.Bennett threw a huge party at his family's luxury villa.The protagonists are naturally people like An Luo and Westbrook.He spent a lot of money to keep the Thunder in Oklahoma.The Thunder's record has been pretty good over the years, so he throws a party at the end of the season every year.However, this year is a little different!This year, it was to celebrate winning the championship.Although it is only a western championship, it is already the greatest honor that Oklahoma City has won in the four major leagues!
"Guys, we had a really good season. It's not over yet, but I'm very happy with where we are. So, I think we should have a toast to it! Let's celebrate, we are champions of the Western Conference once again! ’” Bennett began his annual party repertoire.He raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip, and continued: "However, I am still full of expectations! At the beginning of every season, I am full of hope. I want to see us win the final victory, and I also want to personally win the championship that belongs to us. The championship trophy in this city. So, please everyone! For OKC!"

It can be regarded as sincere!Although Bennett is not as obsessed with basketball as Cuban is, he is not the kind of person who only regards the team as a money-making tool like Dolan.His affection for this team, and especially for this city, is very deep.Otherwise, the Thunder would not have spent a lot of money to bring the Thunder to Oklahoma City.

"We are still one series away from the championship. We have fallen on this before. But this time it will not! This time, we will definitely bring back a championship banner for Oklahoma City and let him stand high Flying over Chesapeake Energy Arena."

The boss spoke, and everyone expressed their opinions.Even An Luo held a wine glass and said "We will win the championship".

Two days later, the Cavaliers and Celtics began their final battle at North Shore Gardens.

This game is very interesting!James once again took his team to Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals.The Celtics are no longer the Celtics of the past, but they have the same blood in their bones!The defense is tough and bloody.And the Heat of the year have also become the current Cavaliers.The only thing that remains the same is that the person who wins in the end is still James.

James, who played 46 minutes in the last game, is even more incredible this time, playing the entire game directly!
This is James' 100th game this season, with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists.Not only won the game, but also refreshed a series of records: the number of goals in the playoffs career sports battle reached 2408, becoming the first player in history to break through the 2400 mark; the number of two-point goals in the playoffs career was 2044 One, surpassing Michael Jordan and Shaq O'Neal to rise to the second place in history; this is the ninth time in James' career that he has reached the finals, and it is also his eighth consecutive finals; Pierce is the first player to play all 9 minutes in a playoff Game 8 without overtime.

And this year James is 33 years old!

Therefore, after this game, everyone, whether they were optimistic about James or not, were overwhelmed by his combat effectiveness.No one said anything harsh about him anymore, after all, what else can anyone say about a veteran who can play like this?

Especially with 1 minute and 04 seconds left in the game, James killed the game with a 2+1.The Celtics have no way to limit him.Smart, who was standing at the free throw line at the time, reached out to grab him but didn't grab him.At that moment, the entire North Shore Garden fell into silence again.Just like back then!
Speaking of which, the Celtics have been really sad these two seasons.Last year, I reached the Eastern Conference finals and was defeated by the Cavaliers; this year, I dug the corner of the Cavaliers, but still lost.Moreover, in the playoff series with a 2:0 lead in the history of the Celtics, they won the series 37 times in a row before, but this record was ended by James himself today.

When everyone was paying attention to the appearance of James dominating the world, only a few people noticed James gasping for breath during the timeout.That look is overwhelming. The 33-year-old James can still dominate the league, but he is still old after all.You can no longer run around like before!

After the game, Stevens shook hands with Tyronn Lue very graciously and congratulated them.James also hugged the Celtics players one by one.Especially Tatum, this first-year rookie performed so well!Moreover, in the game, James was dunked once by the opponent!That time, he was impressed.

"Man! You played great!" James touched the opponent's head and encouraged: "Keep being aggressive like this, the future is yours!"

Hearing this, Tatum was taken aback for a moment, and he was a little flattered.Although his idol is not James, it means that he doesn't like or respect James.With the opponent's influence, most players like Tatum grew up watching him play.

Owen also came to the scene.However, because of injuries, he can only sit on the sidelines in a suit.For Owen, winning or losing this game is meaningless.He may not have a big uncomfortable reaction when he loses.He won't be too happy if he wins.So, after the game, Irving took the initiative to hug James.After all, they are good brothers who have waited together, and they are not like Kobe, O'Neal, Westbrook, and Durant, who are bitter and bitter.

After the game, James led the Cavaliers to receive the Eastern Conference Championship trophy at the North Shore Garden.Although he has won three championships, it is still special for such an Eastern Conference champion.Moreover, he is really happy!
Since then, the champions of the entire East and West have surfaced.James has entered the Finals for 8 consecutive years, and his opponent has changed from the Warriors to the Thunder!They may not have much time to adjust, though.But the Thunder is different, they have been preparing for a long time!
