Chapter 747 The Sixth Crown
Chapter 747 The Sixth Crown
Compared to the teams the Clippers have faced in the West, the Celtics have the strongest frontcourt. However, the problem is that their strength happens to be the Clippers' strongest point, which is somewhat awkward. It's like a deck of cards: you play your strongest single card, you have a Joker, but the Clippers have a King!
This feeling of being deeply suppressed is the most difficult.
Although the Timberwolves lost, they actually had an advantage in the paint, it's just that Towns was a bit too soft; the Warriors' Splash Brothers have an advantage in shooting, but Klay Thompson has declined; the Suns originally had a slight advantage in the paint, but Ayton was too soft...
The Celtics might have a tiny advantage in the paint, which is Horford having a slight low-post advantage over Grant or Lee Kyle when playing with twin towers, but that's about it.
The Clippers dominated the Celtics throughout the game, ultimately defeating them easily and securing victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
贾飞全场贡献40分10个篮板12次助攻5个抢断3个盖帽的40+三双数据,完全统治了比赛。
The Celtics didn't just guard him one-on-one the whole game; they used a combination of one-on-one defense and double-teaming, but no matter how they tried, they couldn't contain him. He was like a human bug, completely unstoppable.
The game ended with the Clippers leading the series 1-0, and they are widely favored to defend their title. Clearly, the Celtics don't have much room for adjustment; they could always switch to a small-ball lineup, but no team can beat the Clippers with a small-ball lineup these days. In the past five years, the only team the Clippers truly couldn't defend was the Nuggets when Jokic and Murray were both in top form, yet they still managed to defeat them with their offense.
Ultimately, the Clippers aren't afraid of perimeter teams. Unless you have an unstoppable center on your roster, you simply don't have a chance to beat them head-on.
June 5th, Game 2 of the Grand Finals.
The Celtics made a lineup change for this game!
They pulled Lowe and replaced him with White to play a small lineup. The Clippers didn't change their lineup, sticking with their previous roster.
Despite the Celtics' lineup change, the game's flow and outcome were largely similar to the previous one; they remained under pressure. The Clippers' suffocating defense made their offense difficult, and even a few spectacular shots couldn't change the fact that their offense was frequently constipated.
In the end, the Clippers won another game at home, taking a 2-0 lead in the series!
Before the Finals began, Tatum boasted that he would lead the Celtics to their 18th championship banner. However, after losing two straight games in Los Angeles, he went straight to the locker room after the game. He didn't give any interviews or say anything, heading directly to the player tunnel…
Isn't he supposed to be a disciple of the Mamba? Why does he sound like a Running Man cast member?
Can anyone tell me whether he's a disciple of the Mamba or a disciple of the Running Man?
On June 8th, Game 3 of the Finals was moved to TD Garden in Boston on the East Coast.
This game will be a do-or-die situation for the Celtics.
If they lose, they will become yet another team trailing 0-3 in the Finals. And all the teams that previously trailed the Clippers 0-3 have been eliminated, and all of them were swept.
The Celtics continued with their small lineup; they were giving it their all.
The game started with a very high intensity, and the two young stars gave it their all. The Clippers' offense struggled, missing several shots in a row.
The Celtics' high level of defensive intensity also affected their offense, resulting in a series of missed shots.
At this moment, Jia Fei stepped forward!
With 20 points in a single quarter and 40 points in the first half, Jia Fei's dominant performance brought the game to a standstill.
Ultimately, thanks to Jia Fei's 60 points, the Clippers defeated their opponents on the road, taking a 3-0 lead in the series!
At this point, the outcome of the finals was no longer in doubt...
In this game, Jia Fei scored a personal best of 60 points in an NBA playoff game, breaking his previous record (his previous high was 56 points). In addition to the single-game scoring record, his 40 points in the first half of this game also broke his previous NBA playoff record for points in a half (his previous high was 37 points).
Jia Fei's 60 points in this game rank third on the NBA playoff single-game scoring list, behind only Jordan's 63 points and Elgin Baylor's 61 points.
The game is over, and everything is quiet... Those who were touting that the Celtics would end the Clippers' championship streak have disappeared overnight, replaced by all sorts of boasts.
June 10th, Game 4 of the Grand Finals.
Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room, Jia Fei told his teammates, "Tonight we will end this series. We will not intentionally lose a game just to win the championship at home. We will sweep the series. Tonight is the day we win the championship, today!"
After the game started, Jia Fei took the lead, charging forward relentlessly and forcing the opponents to double-team him; even double-teams couldn't stop him. Under Jia Fei's leadership, the Clippers were unstoppable. By the second half, the Celtics had already given up, and the game quickly became garbage time.
Ultimately, the Clippers defeated the Celtics, sweeping their opponents 4-0 and continuing their undefeated record of 16 wins and 0 losses to win their fifth consecutive championship!
This is the Clippers' fifth championship in franchise history, and Jia Fei's sixth championship personally.
With this championship, Jia Fei has officially tied Jordan's record!
Jia Fei won the FMVP trophy without any controversy. His performance in the finals was simply phenomenal. He averaged more than 40 points per game, and his all-around performance on both offense and defense completely dominated the game.
After successfully defending his title, Jia Fei's personal accolades finally reached 7 MVPs, 6 championships, and 6 Finals MVPs, officially surpassing Jordan to become the all-time leader.
Although many older Jordan fans still disagree that he has surpassed Jordan, the fact remains that he has surpassed Jordan, and he is only 30 years old.
While there may still be some debate about whether he has surpassed Jordan, his NBA career is not over yet, and he will continue to accumulate honors.
With the Clippers winning the championship without any suspense, the 2021-22 season has finally come to an end.
The Clippers and Jia Fei emerged as the biggest winners, having essentially achieved a "winner-takes-all" scenario.
On June 11, the Clippers players returned to Los Angeles on a private jet, carrying the championship.
At the airport, a large number of fans came to welcome the Clippers, and the airport had to deploy a large number of police officers to maintain order, which shows the influence of the Clippers' championship.
The Clippers now have five NBA championships, which puts them on par with the Spurs, ranking third among all 30 NBA teams, behind only the Celtics and Lakers.
From never having faced each other in the Western Conference Finals to now ranking 3rd in the league, the Clippers have only taken 6 years. These 6 years were the years in which Jia Fei took over as head coach. He changed the Clippers, and the Clippers gave him a stage to perform. Both sides achieved success together.
Upon arriving in Los Angeles, celebrations and parties awaited Jia Fei and his team. After achieving five consecutive championships, Jia Fei surpassed Jordan's greatest achievements, and the Clippers won their fifth title, with everyone continuously elevating their historical standing.
