CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 322: CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!

Kobe left the court, it seems like the Lakers are done for.

But what no one expected was that after Kobe left the court, James actually stood up!

He drove and shot, even hitting mid-range shots, keeping the Lakers close in the score by the end of the third quarter.

Kobe’s words over the past two years didn’t get into his ears, but Kobe’s shocking way of leaving indeed left an impact on him.

Before leaving, Kobe did something that could give goosebumps, it was like a shot of adrenaline for the Lakers players.

However, when the game reached the decisive moments of the fourth quarter, that kind of stimulation quickly faded like the tide.

If Kobe could make a comeback like Yao Ming did in the past, perhaps the Lakers could indeed drag the game into Game 6.

But Kobe, ultimately did not come back.

In the fourth quarter, Hansen switched back to defense mode, giving James the greatest pressure.

After consecutive failed drives, James gradually gave up resisting.

Some people can remain strong all night long, but some, only for a short while.

The Cavaliers gradually widened the score, and some Lakers fans at the scene began to leave.

At this time, all the players on the Cavaliers’ bench couldn’t sit still, they stood on the sideline with undisguisable excitement, waiting for that moment to come.

Garnett’s actions were the most eye-catching, he kept lightly pounding his chest, tears welling in his eyes.

Going home was a good choice for him back then, even last summer, the Timberwolves offered him a 2-year, 16-million-dollar contract for it.

But he ultimately chose to stay with the Cavaliers at a base salary.

Though his role has diminished as the season went deeper, yet that was a championship he personally won.

Kobe, like Jordan, did not achieve a fairy-tale ending, but Garnett ushered in his fairy-tale ending.

Dunleavy’s expression seemed a bit complex at this moment.

What he had not achieved after battling through most of his career, he achieved in his first year with the Cavaliers.

Indeed, in life, choice matters more than effort, he set an example for many in Cleveland.

Though this place is remote, there are indeed opportunities here!

With 2 minutes left, with the Cavaliers still leading by double digits, Malone rotated five players on and off.

It was also at this time that West, Williams, and Conningham were subbed in together.

Question: How many Old Knights are on the Cavaliers?

4?

No, it’s 5.

is the number of players, besides the players, there’s also Malone!

He and James have a lot of past grudges.

So at this moment, he is more than happy to irritate James who is still on the court.

James certainly felt that malice too.

So when holding the ball to drive, he gave Conningham a fierce elbow.

He still remembers the trash talk Conningham spat at him before.

Anyway, since the game outcome is already decided, serving you an elbow is a must.

But Conningham has even less psychological burden than James, we’ve already won, there’s really nothing to worry about.

He directly body-slammed James.

This instantly caused a commotion on the scene.

No one expected such an unexpected incident to occur on the court when the game result was already decided.

The referees urgently separated the two on the court.

If a fight breaks out at the end, it’d be a real mess.

After being pulled apart, Conningham still seemed quite agitated, he continued to hurl remarks at James:

"We are the champions after you left!"

This was an upgraded version of the trash talk from getting into the finals, even more devastating, more damaging than giving James a beating.

James’ face turned purple.

Hansen almost couldn’t hold it together after hearing Conningham’s remarks.

It must be said, if Conningham and Haslem’s trash talk were combined, it would be a perfect formula closed loop.

Conningham was ultimately called for a flagrant foul and ejected, James also exited the game after receiving a technical foul.

At this time, less than a minute remained in the game.

The emotions of Cavaliers players were already completely uncontrollable.

Irving kept looking up at the timer, his smile on his face blooming like a flower.

Before Hansen returned to Cleveland, he was known as a "show player", but now, he’s soon to be the second leader of a champion team!

Jokic stood there foolishly waving his hands continuously like a goofball.

Championship or not is not important, what’s important is his horse!

He is about to become the man with the best horse in Songbor!

This year’s horse race, he must be the champion!

Powell couldn’t help but shout out loud in excitement.

Both he and Jokic are rookies, rookie champions yay!

Hansen also showed a happy smile on his face at this moment.

Though the Cavaliers were not his first choice originally, thinking about leading the Old Knights to a championship and fulfilling past regrets is joyous.

And thinking about taking this championship stepping over James makes it even more joyful.

"Beep~"

The final whistle finally blew, streamers flew in the air, and the Cavaliers players who had long been unable to hold back started to celebrate wildly.

In fact, far away in Cleveland, Gilbert had already opened the Quicken Loans Arena, and at this time, it’s also packed full.
