The greatest champion in history! Who else can turn the tables from a desperate situation of 1-3 behind?

On August 1, the point guard who just put on the Cleveland Cavaliers' jersey was interviewed as a Cavaliers player for the first time. When the topic turned to the 2016 championship trophy in the history of the Cavaliers, Ball gave a shocking comment without hesitation: "I can say with certainty that this is the greatest championship ring in history. Who else can turn the tables from a desperate situation of 1-3 behind? Look at your greatest player, he scored 40+, and the two of them scored 80 points together. This is a miracle!" The twin stars in the desperate situation shine, creating the only miracle in history

The "miracle" in Ball's mouth was the shocking reversal between the Cavaliers and the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. Facing the Golden State Warriors, who won 73 wins in the regular season and were regarded as a historically strong team, the Cavaliers once fell into the abyss of 1-3. However, led by two superstars, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers burst out with incredible energy.

James scored 41 points in the key 5th and 6th matches, and Irving also had full firepower. Especially in the tiebreak battle that determines life and death, Irving scored a quasi-kill three-pointer against Curry. During the entire reversal, the Zhan and European combination showed a historical dominance, especially the two in the fifth game, which made an astonishing 82 points, becoming one of the most shining duo performances in the history of the finals.

More importantly, the Cavaliers set an unprecedented record in the 77-year history of the NBA Finals - they are the only team that finally won the O'Brien Cup when they were behind 1-3. This champion tempered in absolute adversity is worth a lot to go down in history.

Bauer's remarks also happened at a new starting point in his basketball career. During this offseason, the Cavaliers traded the potential forward Ocorro, and exchanged the Bulls for this experienced point guard. While playing in Chicago last season, Ball played only 35 games due to injuries, but he still contributed a comprehensive data average of 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Joining a team with a championship background is an opportunity and a challenge for Ball. He chose to clearly praise the most glorious moment in the Cavaliers' history at the beginning of joining, which undoubtedly quickly narrowed the distance with Cleveland fans and also demonstrated his determination to integrate into the team's championship culture.

Time may dilute many memories, but the miracle created by the Cavaliers in the Oracle Arena that summer in 2016, together with James's chasing hat and Irving's shocking three-pointer, has long become the most brilliant chapter in the NBA history scroll. As Ball said, the difficulty and legendary nature of the comeback in the desperate situation of 1-3 in the finals are no longer mentioned.
