Chapter 790: We're Back Again
The Heat and Pacers tied to a tiebreaker.
This was unexpected by many, and everyone was shocked when the rising Pacers became the third challenger to break the Eastern Conference Heat's dominance.
Before the season began, the media was racking their brains to find a challenger for the Heat in the Eastern Conference.
The Celtics, who are old and have gone with Ray Allen, are clearly not enough to challenge the Miami Heat again. They picked and chosen, but eventually set their sights on the Chicago Bulls.
Despite Rose's injury concerns, he still has a superstar aura on his body, and everyone is expecting a new rose storm after he recovers from injury.
At that time, the Chicago media was still dreaming of "Windy City roses blooming and stabbing the Miami Triumvirate". In fact, however, the Windy City Rose quickly withered after puncturing the Miami Triumvirate by a bit.
And the Miami Heat's new challenger is the resurgent Indiana Pacers.
Many people thought the Pacers would quickly rout before the series began, and after the Lakers won one game first, someone on social networking sites launched such a poll - who in the East and West regions will end the series first?
The Miami Heat received the most votes, followed by the Warriors.
It can be seen how much everyone is not optimistic about the Pacers, but now the Pacers are slapping their faces with their own strength.
"If the Indiana Pacers make it to the Finals, who are you rooting for to win the championship?" Kevin Harlan threw the question to Reggie Miller.
Reggie Miller is a Pacers celebrity, and Chen Mo is Reggie Miller's biggest partner and friend.
"Haha! That's a hard question. Reggie Miller said, "It's like the question of your mom falling into the water with your girlfriend, who do you save first?" ”
"And how do you choose?" said Kevin Harlan.
"We'll wait until this game is over before we talk about it," Miller said.
Kevin Harlan still refused to let Reggie Miller go, saying: "There's another question after this game, now you answer that question first. ”
Reggie Miller said, "Then I'm rooting for the Indiana Pacers. ”
"Why?" said Kevin Harlan.
"If you were to use substitution, the Warriors and Jack Chan would be girlfriends, and the Indiana Pacers would be moms. Reggie Miller said, "I don't save my mother when she dies...... It's against the law!"
"Hahahaha!" Kevin Harlan laughed, "witty answer." ”
Paul and Anthony were there for the game, and they came to cheer on their friends.
Chen Mo and Curry watched the game at home, Curry had been living in the training gym and home for several days, his nanny was on leave, and he had to go home to help take care of the children. Today, his nanny finally returned to work, and Curry was able to come to Chen Mo's house to watch the game.
"It's quiet. Curry adds ice cubes to his watermelon juice, "I'm at home these days, and it's very difficult to even add ice cubes to drinks. ”
Chen Mo looked at Curry and said, "Why did you shave your beard and say that you have a big beard?"
Curry waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, I was caught bald by Riley, so I had to scrape it all off." ”
"Are there any photos of the bald aftermath?" Chen Mo snatched Curry's phone.
"Am I going to be so stupid to be laughed at by you if I didn't put it in my phone?" Curry took the picture at the time, but later deleted it himself, and now he really admires his great decision at the time.
The score between the Heat and the Pacers is very tight, the Pacers have an advantage inside, and the Pacers' forward line is not weak, this kind of team is the most annoying for the Heat.
The first half was tied 45-46, with the Miami Heat leading by just one point.
Just when everyone thought that these two teams would have to be entangled until the last minute to separate the winner, the second half of the game changed dramatically.
In fact, it was the Pacers who broke out first, David West continued to complete the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Paul George, and his mid-range shots helped the Pacers stretch the gap to 5 points.
However, the Pacers' momentum did not continue.
Rashad Lewis, who played soy sauce for almost a season with the Heat, started his show.
Lewis and Ray Allen both played for the Seattle SuperSonics (the predecessor of the Oklahoma City Thunder), and they are known as the two musketeers of the SuperSonics. Now, the two musketeers are back on the bench for the Miami Heat. Fate is such a thing, it's really wonderful.
Lewis hit three three-pointers in a row, which knocked down the Pacers' entire game plan.
For a basketball game, one person's sudden outburst is enough to change the trend of the whole game. After all, no one is going to let the person who broke out go unpunished, but it would be very embarrassing if that person had never been included in the game plan before the game. If it's a coach with good on-the-spot command ability and experienced players, that's okay to say. If the coach's on-the-spot command skills are poor and the players are not experienced enough, it is likely to collapse quickly.
The Pacers fall into the latter category, and their center Hibbert is a man of great ups and downs in his own right, and he has a poor ability to adapt.
Paul George himself was already struggling against James, and when David West had to take good care of Rashard Lewis, Paul George lost the help that helped him stand up to James head-on, and James burst into the basket to cause Hibbert's foul and hit a layup.
"The Pacers are finished. Chen Mo shook his head and said.
Facing the Heat in the finals in a row, Chen Mo was a little tired, and of course he wanted to change his opponent. But looking at the current situation, their opponent in the Finals will still be the old rival Miami Heat.
At the same time as Chen Mo, it was Reggie Miller who thought the Pacers were finished, and he mistook his face with his hand. If he were asked to choose between the Warriors and the Pacers, he would hesitate. But if he had to choose between the Pacers and the Heat to support, he would certainly not hesitate to support the Pacers.
It's just that, judging from the current situation, the Pacers are gone.
The Heat went on a 14-5 spurt, and then at the end of the third quarter, the Flash came out and took over the game.
The Heat used a continuous wave of attacks to finally completely crush the Pacers.
79-102, the Miami Heat won a tie-break at home.
Entering the Finals again, this time the Miami Heat are stronger than last year.
"We're back again. James pointed to the camera lens after the game and said, I don't know if he said this to Chen Mo. 10
