Chapter 1777 Cherish Each Other, the Story Is Not over Yet
"Of course, the future is not yet known, but the present that is visible to the naked eye has arrived!"
"Let us congratulate the Los Angeles Lakers. They completed the biggest comeback in the playoffs this season on the road. They did not give up when they were 15 points behind at most, and staged a great comeback under Ji Feng's omnipotent performance. !”
"The miracle was not born after all. For two consecutive seasons, the Thunder were swept by the Lakers, and the Lakers continued to maintain the great feat of winning 24 consecutive games in the playoffs!"
"At the same time, this is also the fourth consecutive season that the Lakers have reached the conference finals. This is not common in NBA history. The last one to do it was the Pistons' top five. From the 2002-03 season to the 07-08 season, the Pistons continued to They have reached the conference finals in 6 seasons. Of course, their winning rate is a bit embarrassing. They only entered the finals in 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, and were eliminated by different teams the other four times. "
"In the West, due to the cruelty of the West, the last team that could reach more than four conference finals in a row had to be the Lakers in the 1982-85 season. But this time, it has happened again in the West after 26 years. A dominant team!”
In fact, the Lakers not only reached the conference finals for four consecutive seasons, but also reached the finals for four consecutive seasons. Although they did not win all of them, their dominance in the Western Conference was one of the best.
In fact, in the 72-year history of the NBA, only three teams have entered the finals for more than four consecutive years, namely the Lakers in the 1982/85 season, the Celtics in the 1984/87 season and the legendary team, 57/ In the 1966 season, the Celtics had been on the finals stage for 10 consecutive years and were alone in the first tier. At that time, the Celtics also made history and won an unprecedented eight consecutive championships.
However, that era was too long ago, and league competition is not the same as it is now. You can also see that it will become more and more difficult to enter the finals consecutively in the future. It has been more than 20 years since a team reached the finals four times in a row. Appeared.
Yu Jia brought it up here naturally to describe the Lakers' dominance from a side perspective. Chinese commentators are generally more reserved.
As for the so-called promotion before suppression, Yu Jia's affectionate farewell to the Thunder in the live broadcast room was just to sing a hymn to the Lakers in the future.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is the unchanging law of competitive sports. There is no fandom here. The so-called so-and-so lost and so-and-so did not lose is a paradox in a team game. , stands out from the team but cannot bring the team victory. This is not something worth showing off.
Moreover, looking at these four games alone, the 0-4 score says everything. The Lakers are the better team. Even Thunder fans must admit this.
So when the whistle blew, the Thunder's home fans had no other emotions besides some disappointment. Instead, they gave the Lakers applause with a sense of relief.
There is nothing to regret about losing to such a team. There is still a gap. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lost so badly in the first few games. At most, it is just a pity that we can't win against the Lakers.
So the Thunder fans just left the game in silence. There were no curses or boos, only the cheers for the home team players and the applause to congratulate the Lakers for their advancement.
Among these applauses, many were given to Ji Feng. Tonight Ji Feng looked like the God of War. It was his persistence that brought the Lakers an incredible victory.
So much so that the Thunder's home commentator took the initiative to express his apology to Ji Feng after the game: "I'm sorry for my remarks about Ji Feng during the game. He is a true warrior, his energy is unparalleled, and he deserves to be in this game." Victory, he's one of the best players in this era and in all of basketball history, and he's on his way to greater things."
However, Ji Feng, who was praised by others, may not have the time to understand these words. At the moment the game ended, Ji Feng lay on his back in the middle of the field. Ji Feng's physical fitness had reached the limit. This sudden unloading of force made his body extremely shaken. Relaxed, the light in front of me was a little blurry, and the sound of shouting filled my ears.
At this moment, Ji Feng smiled, very happily. For a basketball player, there is nothing more joyful than this moment.
The Lakers players also rushed into the court at the next moment and hugged Ji Feng. Farmar and Shannon Brown, one on the left and one on the right, were like two guardian angels, supporting Ji Feng to complete the final curtain call.
Such a scene moved fans and reporters. It was very similar to the scene when Jordan collapsed in Pippen's arms after being sick with gastroenteritis in the Finals and then leading the team to victory after scoring high points. Although the process was different and the environment was different. The same, but the spiritual attributes are incomparably consistent.
This scene also dissipated the last bit of resentment among the Thunder players.
Durant shook his head and sighed, then resumed his smile, and after Ji Feng thanked the fans, he took the initiative to hug Ji Feng.
You may not believe it, but this is the first time the 2007 double stars have hugged each other in this series.
"Hey, if you beat me, keep going and take our share with you." Durant patted Ji Feng on the back, causing Ji Feng to grit his teeth and crack his mouth.
This may be the sympathy between heroes. Since you defeated me, then win the championship!
"Hi~! This is naked revenge!" Ji Feng rubbed his shoulders. He must go back and sleep for a whole day. This was the first time Ji Feng was so tired.
"Don't be decadent. You have played well this season. Keep going. Just like I said last season, I will still be here waiting for you next season." Ji Feng said, "But hey hey hey, you have to continue. Watching my brother holding the cup in front of the TV, hahahahaha~!”
"Oh shit! Why are you still like this? Can you do something new every year or two? But you are right, we will meet here again. Next season, we will be stronger. Let's go~!" Duran! Te waved his hand and turned to leave. If he loses, he loses. He is still young and his teammates are equally young. They still have a chance.
Then came Westbrook. As a guy who was severely punished by Ji Feng, Westbrook also coolly said that he would complete the upgrade in the summer: "Next time we meet, you won't score so easily! Of course, this time, I wish you the best! Oh, four consecutive championships, it makes me happy just thinking about it.”
Then, Harden also came to Ji Feng. He should have the closest relationship with Ji Feng. He also expressed the same view as the second young master: "Win the championship, brother!"
He should be the least sad among the three young men. After all, he is the youngest and is not the eldest brother in the team and does not need to bear any responsibilities. And this time he performed much better than last season. This is for a second-year student. That's enough.
Ji Feng watched Durant and the others leave. He was deeply impressed by this young team, and he had a hunch that they would meet again.
"Last season it was the first round, this time it's the semi-finals, the next game, where will we meet next."
Ji Feng expressed great expectations.
