Chapter 176 Easy to win the cup, the third championship
The Grizzlies lost their away game on their own, causing them to fall into a bad situation in this round of the series.
At the post-match press conference, Old Dunleavy's face turned pale. Until now, he didn't know what was going on and why his players became so unbearable.
"Tonight was just an accident. I think we will be able to adjust smoothly in the next game."
"The next game is still our home court. Fans are relieved that we will definitely not lose this time."
Dunleavy said confidently, patting his chest.
The reporters were also convinced by Dunleavy's words. After all, no matter how you look at it, the Grizzlies' combat power must be stronger.
Fans also have the same idea. Although they think the Trail Blazers' record and strength this year are very dazzling, they are definitely not enough to compare with the Grizzlies.
As a result, after the second game, everyone was shocked.
The Grizzlies actually lost again, and this time they lost not a little bit, and they were beaten by the Trail Blazers in the whole game!
In the two home courts in a row, the Grizzlies actually lost all of them, and their hope of advancing to the finals became slim.
In the entire NBA history, of course, there is no playoff series that can be promoted after losing the first two home games, but it is extremely rare.
Grizzlies fans are looking forward to it. The Grizzlies have created countless miracles in the past two years. Maybe they can create miracles this year?
As a result, Jiang Dongbing poured a basin of cold water on them, and the next two Trail Blazers eliminated the Grizzlies in one go.
Paul Allen was on the sidelines. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, he was so excited that he rushed into the court like a high school student who had successfully confessed his love.
The Trail Blazers actually made it to the finals. Although the Trail Blazers have not won the championship in history, it has nothing to do with him, Paul Allen.
Since Paul Allen took over the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers have never entered the finals, let alone the championship.
"Jiang, magical Jiang, you are really God, God on the sidelines!" Paul Allen hugged Jiang Dongbing tightly and praised him without hesitation.
Jiang Dongbing was so embarrassed that he was so excited that he couldn't breathe, and quickly pulled Paul Allen away.
"Paul, maybe you should be calm. We are just qualified for the finals now and have not really won the championship."
Paul Allen was displeased, "Jing, what a joke, I don't allow you to insult yourself like this."
"Now we've all rushed out of the West, and even the Grizzlies are no match for us."
"Will you lose to those teams in the Eastern Conference? Please, since the Bulls disintegrated, they are destined to not win the championship for many years in the future."
“I think it’s time to start preparing for the championship parade.”
"By the way, I have to prepare the best champagne and cigars, and create the most exquisite championship ring!"
Paul Allen is going to start spending money again after a disagreement.
...
The Grizzly Generals were ashamed and could not believe the reality in front of them.
Did they actually lose to the Trail Blazers? They were swept 4:0 by the Trail Blazers? In any case, this result is too unacceptable.
If you lack a major general on your side, you can still accept losing to the Trail Blazers.
But now their lineup is complete and there is no shortage of a main force.
Or it was a very unfair loss. For example, if the Trail Blazers narrowly won 4:3, and the Trail Blazers made a final victory at the last moment, the Grizzlies players were not unacceptable.
Now that they are swept directly, the players are certainly unable to accept it.
After returning to the locker room, Old Dunleavy was so angry that he cursed because this crushing defeat was not just the Grizzlies who could not win the championship, but his career was basically over.
With a lineup like the Grizzlies, he was shaved, which is enough to prove how bad Dunleavy's coaching ability is. Which team is willing to hire Dunleavy as the head coach in the future.
Thinking that his coaching career was completely destroyed, Old Dunleavy was completely out of control.
And players like the Grizzlies are not a single soft persimmon. Liu Li himself has a special liking for those players with personality. Faced with the angry scolding of old Dunleavy, boss Jackson directly overturned the table.
"Mike, maybe you should think about whether you are qualified to be the head coach of this team."
"Why can Coach Jiang win two championship trophys with us?"
"Why can't you even lead us into the finals without any change in the lineup!"
"I, Jackson, left the word here. If the team doesn't fire you, a bad coach, I'll ask for a transfer."
Jackson made a harsh word and did not leave any affection for Dunleavy at all.
David and O'O were in a bad mood. They performed extremely poorly in this round of the series. They were unable to refute Dunleavy's accusations.
Fortunately, Jackson helped them stand out.
"you……"
Dunleavy was speechless by Jackson's anger and turned around and left the locker room.
...
The Trail Blazers successfully obtained tickets to the finals, and their opponent was the Pacers coached by Bird.
In fact, before the start of the season, Jiang Dongbing already knew that the team that the Eastern Conference could enter the finals this year must be the Pacers.
It is not only because Jiang Dongbing knows the list of finals this year, but also because the East is indeed the Pacers' strongest.
But although his strength is better than the East, the Pacers' strength is not enough to see in the West.
Not to mention the Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and Lakers, the three families, I'm afraid they will be unable to resist even if they encounter the Spurs.
As Paul Allen predicted, after four games, the Pacers were shaved with a clean and neat foil for the Trail Blazers to win the cup.
Paul Allen did what he said, buying the best champagne and cigars for the players to celebrate after winning the championship.
Jiang Dongbing did not join the celebration ranks. This was already the third championship trophy he won. Winning the championship was just a piece of cake for him, and there was no excitement.
Instead of celebrating the championship, it is better to focus on how to get more benefits from the Grizzlies.
The championship parade lasted for three days, and Jiang Dongbing called the team management to discuss the trading plan for the new season.
"What?"
"Coach Jiang, are you going to trade the Grizzlies' Jermaine with Rashid?"
"Jermaine was originally a player of our Trail Blazers, but later he was bought by Coach Jiang for the Grizzlies. His performance was indeed extremely outstanding during this period, but in the Western Conference Finals, his performance was not as good as Rashid."
"This deal is really a loss, Rashid is far more stable than Jermaine."
Many people expressed their disbelief when they heard that Jiang Dongbing wanted to trade Xiao Ao with Rashid.
In the regular season, O's performance was indeed better than Rashid, but that was only the regular season after all.
Chapter completed!
