The Pacers win their first game!

The advantage was not big, 104-100, 4 points win, it was thrilling, and until the last minute, the Warriors did not give up.

When Curry missed the last three-point shot, the entire Oracle Center Warriors fans described it in one sentence: cry to me!

"Let's congratulate the Indiana Pacers!"

Yu Jia, Su Junyang, and Zhang Lizhi on the commentary seat all gave a standing ovation.

Xu Xuan, who played 48 minutes in the game, shot 17 of 30, including 6 of 12 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws (free throws are not counted in the total number of shots), and Xu Xuan, who scored 45 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 hot pot and 2 copyists, won the best player of the game in the G1 game.

On the Warriors' side, the highest scorer was not Curry, but Livingston, who came off the bench, with 20 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds on 8-of-10 shooting.

After four empty shots in front, Green hit both of his next two three-pointers, shooting 5-of-11 from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring the second-highest score in the Warriors with 12 points, seven assists and 11 rebounds.

Curry only scored 11 points in this game, Klay scored 13 points, and the two together did not have as many as Xu Xuan.

If it weren't for the excellent play off the bench, the Warriors would have lost even more in this game.

"See, you can see the gap now, right?" Barkley said after the game, patting his chest.

"The biggest difference between Xu Xuan and Curry is that Xu Xuan is stable! Won't Xu Xuan make a mistake? Xu Xuan will also make mistakes! But he makes fewer mistakes, and when he makes mistakes, he can control it and then choose other ways to get it back, which is the biggest difference between the two! Anti-Curry, you can prevent him from the outside line, but against Xu Xuan, if you are so defended, you will definitely be killed! ”

Of course, the loss of this game is also related to Curry and Klay's own poor form.

But as the saying goes, luck is also part of strength.

Warriors coach Kerr and the entire Warriors aren't going to give up just because there's more than one game in the series.

The Pacers won't be complacent about a temporary victory, for the same reason as the Warriors.

......

These days, in addition to the two teams that are playing in the Finals, many teams are sending out individual tryouts to their favorite rookies.

The finals have begun, and the draft is just around the corner.

Los Angeles, the home base of the Lakers.

The Lakers' uniform team has taken a fancy to a very talented player in this rookie class, and they have the No. 2 list this year, so the picks are very high, and the people invited to try out are also the top picks.

But it's a pity that this year is not a big year for the draft, just a small year for the draft.

The top picks are Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, who is now on trial.

Ingram's draft template is Kevin Durant.

Superstars of the league.

He is currently the second person in the league.

Top five small forwards in NBA history.

However, Ingo's WARP value of only 2.9 is not too high, far lower than the 3.6 of another top pick, Ben Simmons.

The WARP value is what we often call the efficiency value.

To put it simply, it's about measuring the role of the players in the team. More precisely, a player (usually a starter) can bring more wins to the team than a player in the same position (usually on the bench or a little worse) in the same amount of playing time.

Of course, this WARP value does not fully equate to the player's potential.

For example, individual defense and Simmons' all-round ability are not reliable based on pure WARP value alone.

Of course, compared to the tryouts of the rookies, what makes people crazy is obviously the various trade rumors that are going viral outside.

"Shocked, Xu Xuan actually wants to join the Cavaliers and join forces to build brother basketball?"

"Kobe Bryant wants to make a comeback, and the next family has been decided? Many stars call the insiders - "

"Wade's departure has been decided, and he will join the Chicago Bulls with a base salary!"

"The Cavaliers will send Lefou, and the former Wolf King was sold off!"

"Durant has decided to renew his contract, and a super cap salary is about to be born!"

"Jordan is ready to settle in Indiana, and Charlotte can't accommodate the basketball god anymore?"

......

Now as long as you dare to open the Internet, it's all this messy news.

All kinds, without repetition.

The information that is coming out now is unreliable, and most of it is a smoke bomb.

On Xu Xuan's side alone, there are more than ten clubs that "have decided the overall situation......

Xu Xuan didn't know that he could hide his clone.

It's really ghostly.

But these two days, indeed.

With the league officially announcing that the salary cap will rise sharply next season and next season, no one can be calm.

It is estimated that the salary cap for the 2016-17 season and the 2017-18 season is expected to reach $90 million and $105 million, respectively, after the NBA struck a new huge broadcast deal last year.

90 million! You know, this season's salary cap is only 70 million, and the luxury tax threshold is $84.7 million.

That's an 11% increase from the previous season (2014-2015).

And today, if the salary cap does reach 90 million, it will be a huge change.

Players who sign a max contract will earn more, according to the formula, based on the $90 million salary cap, for example, players like Parsons and Bledsoe who have been in the league for less than seven years could have a cap salary of $21.19 million.

A player of LeBron James' calibre (who has been in the league for more than 10 years) will have a starting salary of $29.67 million, and he will likely sign a five-year, more than $150 million contract with the Cavaliers.

Perhaps the summer before the 2016~2017 season will be the most high-salary contracts in the league, because teams want to sign high-salary players according to the current salary cap (about $67 million), and a one-year contract can save at least $2 million ~ $3 million.

For the teams, this will further widen the gap between the big and small city teams.

The massive increase in the salary cap has given the team more leeway to operate the roster.

Top players, benches with significant tactical value and even promising new stars are looking to get involved in big city teams, and the salary cap increase will give the team more players to buy. In big city teams, stars will have better business opportunities, which makes it more difficult for teams in smaller cities to bring in superstars.

To put it mildly, from now on, whoever has money will be more able to have fun.

Whoever has no money can only watch.

There are many big-name players whose contracts expire this year, and those who are in their prime include Xu Xuan, Durant, DeRozan, Conley, and James......

In addition, there are Wade, Howard...... A group of superstars who are not in their prime, but their strength should not be underestimated.

This summer has been even more thrilling than the draft.

A lot of people are ready to go big this summer.

For example, the Thunder are said to send away Ibaka, and then re-trade a super interior to form a big three lineup.

The Nuggets' uniform crew has flown to Cleveland, where they will have a great and wonderful vacation.

Warcraft has made it clear that he wants to leave Houston next season.

Angie is working on bringing in superstars, and the Greens have not been able to perform well during the two-year rebuilding period.

Little Thomas is amazing, but the pain of losing Xu Xuan back then still makes Anji unable to let go for a long time.

When the Knicks heard that they wanted to chase Noah, a large group of uniforms had flown to Chicago to wait for time while they went on vacation.

And Chicago heard that he was going to renew Rose's contract, and Butler found the uniform team with a knife in his hand.

......

Winning the G1 battle in the finals is just the beginning for the Pacers, no matter whether the Warriors are in good shape or bad, this round of the series will definitely be very long, and before the Finals begin, the Pacers are ready to play the "Battle of a Thousand Days".

It's just that the players of the Pacers found that Xu Xuan had really changed too much in this finals.

In the first battle, he was like strengthening the "Dao heart" of the team members, incarnating as a walker's tomahawk, and chiseling out life for the walker one by one.

O'Neill feels that Xu Xuan and Kobe Bryant are indeed the same kind of people, but the former's emotional intelligence is higher......

Ahh The latter is cuter than the former......

Xu Xuan: "......"

Do you scold again?

Xu Xuan is unprecedentedly serious, because he knows very well that if he wants to pass the Warriors, the Pacers cannot afford to lose, because he is the key to the Pacers' victory in this series.

Sometimes, Xu Xuan really feels that his heart is quite big, because at the age of 21, he dares to carry such a heavy burden without hesitation

However, Xu Xuan does not regret it, what pressure makes people progress, most of the time the pressure directly crushes people to death!

However, once something is decided, there is really no way back.

Adult decisions, good or bad, must be borne by themselves.

On the road, the G1 victory was already a bonus, and Frank was actually ready to start the game 2-0.

The 2-2-1-1-1 format is still beneficial to teams with high records.

Sure enough, the Pacers finally ushered in the most difficult situation.

On the night of the 5th, the Pacers' heavily defended position was still captured by the Warriors' iron cavalry.

As if in response to the problem of poor state that Barkley said before, Curry played superbly in this game, hitting 8 three-pointers in a single game, scoring a career-high 46 points in a single game, leading the Warriors to defeat the Pacers.

Xu Xuan's performance in this game was also good, but unfortunately, when the Warriors played at full strength, your personal performance was good, and it was difficult to decide the direction of the game.

The finals were tied 1-1.

This game was still the same as the first game, showing a high-quality offensive and defensive battle, but compared to the previous game, the Warriors took more chances and reduced turnovers, so the Warriors won.

Whoever makes fewer mistakes, who can grasp more opportunities, will win, a very simple thing.

However, for the Pacers, 1-1 is a surprise enough, unlike the G1 game after the public opinion overwhelmingly optimistic about the Pacers winning the championship,

Many pundits have begun to turn the gun again, believing that the Warriors are more mature and have a higher chance of winning the championship.

After all, it is a team that has won a championship, and the Warriors are too experienced compared to a Finals rookie like the Pacers.

The defending champion, not blown out.

Public opinion is like this, winning and losing.

The scores on both sides are not low, like the defensive quality of the previous fire battles is also very high, but the scores of the two sides are not low.

Because of the three-point shot, no matter how good the defense is, you can't withstand it.

The G3 game is going back to its home turf.

A lot of Pacers fans have been waiting for this for a long time.

No. 5 G2, No. 8 G3, there is plenty of rest time.

On the morning of the 6th, the Pacers returned to Indiana, and the Warriors arrived on the 7th.

Xu Xuan invited Curry back, is there still a courtesy, the game is the game, the things on the court are solved on the field, and the court is still a good buddy.

"By the way, Xu, what are you going to get married?" Eating the mapo tofu in his mouth, Curry asked absentmindedly.

The two talked about things that had nothing to do with the game, and the series was not over yet, which was still taboo.

"What? So want to go with it? Xu Xuan gave him a blank look.

Curry is one of the few good men in the league, he and Wei Shao rarely go to nightclubs, which is completely different from nightclub princes like Ha and Durant.

Of course, it could also be pretended.

However, as far as Xu Xuan knows, Curry and Wei Shao do rarely go to nightclubs.

"No, Ayesha asked me to ask you, she had to prepare a gift in advance." Curry muttered, and then said vaguely, "By the way, do you still have the secret recipe for giving birth to a son that you gave me earlier?" ”

“......”

Xu Xuan was speechless, this is what you really want to ask.

"Yes, but it doesn't seem to work, if you want it, I'll give it to you when I leave." Xu Xuan nodded.

This thing was sent by his parents, saying that he had obtained a prescription from a particularly effective old Chinese medicine doctor.

Prior to this, Xu Xuan had already sent Curry, Kobe Bryant and others.

Judging from the reaction, it should have no effect, just psychological comfort.

Xu Xuan also complained a little, it seems to be very difficult for Curry to give birth to a son, although it is not as difficult as Kobe, but as of today, there are two daughters, and the shadow of the son has not been seen.

He was in a hurry, he was in a hurry, he must be in a hurry......

Who said that Americans are very enlightened and have sons and daughters casually?

Didn't look at Curry and Kobe?

One made up half of the table of mahjong, and the other made up a table of mahjong.

When it arrived, Curry was satisfied.

Then, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Xu, when you get married, can I be your best man?" I am a professional best man thief, and I have been a professional best man for 20 years. ”

"!" Xu Xuan waved his hand and glanced at him with disgust: "You married best man, how far you go, Lao Tzu's pure love has been tarnished by you." ”

"Xu, how can you say that? We're the best buddies and best companions! Curry shouted: "You hurt my friend's heart too much if you say this, don't say I know you in the future." ”

Xu Xuan squinted at him: "Are you sure?"

Is that the secret recipe for giving birth to a son also gone? ”

"......" Curry was stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, we are good buddies, good buddies for life......"
