O'Neal helped the Pacers defeat the Green Army, was in a good mood, and talked with Guo Xu on the phone for more than half an hour. Of course, he didn't talk about his feelings about winning, but about the movies he wanted to make in the summer.

This thing's mind is not on the basketball court, and it is pure surprise that he can advance.

The Pacers' lineup is not strong, and O'Neal has long begun to decline, averaging 17.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30 minutes per game in the regular season, while shooting 60.3% from the field. Physical strength is a weakness and it is not possible to play for a long time.

The team's leading scorer was Caron Butler, averaging 20.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 45.6% from the field.

The team's third scoring point is Jarred Jack, a two-way guard who played with the Spurs, unlike point guards, who averaged 13 points and 4 assists per game, and the others are average role players who focus on defense.

Wing Jarvis Hayes, Marquis Daniels, and Morris Evans are not very strong players, only catching and shooting and defending to make a living, and there is a Kenyon Dulin on the bench at the No. 1 position who can organize the offense and shoot threes.

The Pacers won because their lineup restrained the Celtics and the box defense was excellent.

The Celtics are a slow-paced team, and Garnett has gotten even slower after the season. Glenn Davis, the "big baby" who entered the starting lineup, is a big fat man with a height of 206CM and a weight of 131 kg, and Kendrick Perkins is a second fat man with a height of 208cm and a weight of 122 kg.

The three fat men face each other, and they can resist each other, O'Neal is experienced on the offensive end, can block and dismantle, and can attack in the low post. Perkins can't get into the box and can't do anything. Davis was slightly better on the offensive end, with a mid-range shot that wasn't very accurate, could pull out to block and pick up, and couldn't beat O'Neal in the low post.

The Pacers are not only O'Neal who can resist, but the backup center Roy Hibbert is a high school forward with a height of 218cm and a weight of 122 kg, and he can interfere with shooting by relying on his height and arm span to defend near the restricted area.

The weaker Pacers are the No. 4 position, Jeff Foster and Cardinal, who is not tall and can shoot threes.

The Green Army mainly relied on Pierce and Ray Allen to score, and it was too bad to have two teammates in the starting line-up who could let go at will.

The two teams slowly fought against the tide and fought a positional battle, and each game was very anxious, and the difference in points was only more than 10 points in one game.

In the tie-break game, Ray Allen had a terrible hand, shooting 2 of 11, 0 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and only scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist. This isn't the first time Ray Allen has been out of shape in key games, and he was just as poor in the seven-tie tiebreaker last year's playoffs.

The aberrations of the team's inside and outside stars caused the Green Army to be completely unable to break the joint defense, scoring only 75 points in the game, although they defended well and the Pacers only scored 80 points, but they relied on a five-point advantage to reach the second round.

Funnily enough, after the game, there was a group of "Rondo Blows" who said he was a star point guard who was seriously underrated. Because he averaged 16.7 points, 10 rebounds and 9.7 assists in seven games in the series, he almost had a triple-double.

However, that's the number of points he averaged on 15.9 shots per game, shooting 41 percent from the field, 25 percent from three-point range, and 65.7 percent from the free throw line. Free Air did a good job of defending this series, interfering with Rondo's shots.

There is also a ball blind saying that Rondo is a pure point guard who is dying out in the league, a traditional point guard. So the question is, in which era of the NBA is the tradition that players are put two meters away from the court and all kinds of shots are ironed?

O'Neal and Butler played well, and the Lakers' Ellis and Bogut played well, causing one person to lie innocently on the Internet, and that was Kobe.

There are many fans on the Internet who say that he wastes his teammates, which is unfair, but in fact, his teammates have not been wasted, but he didn't have so many balls when he was teammates with Kobe. Isn't it natural for a coach to give the boss unlimited rights?

On May 4, the first game of the Suns VS Lakers began.

The atmosphere of the pre-match interview was harmonious, and the two sides exchanged praises. Guo Xu praised Joe Johnson, Ellis, and Bogut, and the entire Lakers team praised the strength of the Suns' Big Three. It's not a saber-rattling series, it's more like a friendly match.

Because the Lakers know that they are at a disadvantage, it is almost impossible to eliminate the Suns and advance, and the whole team has self-knowledge and puts themselves in the position of challenger.

Guo Xu and Joe Johnson were teammates, and they also chatted with Bogut during the celebrity weekend, and the two also went to Guo Xu's concert together. In addition, Guo Xu praised Ellis, and now that Ellis is playing at a level, there is no reason for him to be unoptimistic.

"Zen Master" Jackson changed the starting lineup, Ellis, Joe Johnson, Artest, Odom, Bogut.

This arrangement is because everyone knows that Fisher can't prevent Guo Xu, Guo Xu is easy to fight him and can break through with a change of direction by speed, and as soon as he comes up, the Lakers must tightly wrap Guo Xu outside the three-point line, and he is in a great passivity.

Fisher is an ordinary role player in this life, without that 0.4-second kill, fans can't say that he has a big heart, and no one blows him as the perfect championship puzzle.

In the previous life, someone really said this, the reason is that there is no O'Neal, Kobe Bryant has two championships, there is no big Gasol, Kobe Bryant has three crowns, there is no Fisher, and Kobe Bryant has zero championships.

He's a heavy guard with slow lateral movement, often rushed by speed guards, and can start because he has a three-point shot and is familiar with the Lakers' triangle offensive system, and he's not strong.

The Suns started five: Guo Xu, Morrow, Roy, Stoudamire, Gasol Jr.

In the regular season, against the Lakers, the Suns did not start small-ball tactics, and Gasol Jr. started 18 games in the regular season, and this was the first time in the playoffs. He defended very well against Bogut, was able to empty the box on the offensive end and cover better than Millsap.

With the help of Haslem, Gasol Jr. controlled his diet and did some high-intensity training, and the weight loss effect was very significant. He lost 30 pounds in half a year, and he had lost 120 kilograms by this time.

In terms of diet, Gasol put an end to high-calorie foods and even began to reduce the consumption of soda.

His muscles are still not noticeable, and his movement speed is the slowest on the Suns, but he is much better than when he first arrived, at least he doesn't look fat.

Gasol Jr. also cut off his long hair, his neat flat head and deliberately kept his beard, which immediately looked much more mature and masculine, which was better than the effect of plastic surgery.

He is improving fast because there are too many supermen in the Suns, and he is not light on the stimulation, and he doesn't want to be the worst.

Needless to say, the four dunk kings also often dunked Jordan Jr., Gortat, and Millsap during training. In such an environment, if he doesn't lose weight, he will seem out of place in the collective.

After the start of the game, Guo Xu did not hold the ball to single-handedly Ellis, but passed the ball to Roy to single-handedly Artest, and he and Morrow looked for offensive opportunities on both sides and on the bottom line by the inside player's off-ball cover run.

As soon as it came up, it was aimed at the Lakers' lineup, Atai defended Roy, and Joe Johnson had to run with Morrow, even if he defended Morrow, the defensive end would consume a lot of physical strength.

On the offensive end, Joe Johnson is the core, it doesn't matter if Morrow is blown up by him, teammates can explode back in other positions, and Joe Johnson's physical strength cannot be replenished. Once his scoring efficiency decreases, the Lakers will be passive, and the off-the-line Battier off the bench will be a notch off.

In the regular season, the Suns used this strategy twice, and team basketball made the Lakers feel helpless. Ellis also struggled to break down the Suns' defense as a starter, and they were a joint defensive system with four men protecting the box.

The Suns can slowly grind their position with the Lakers, and they will do it when it's time to break fast......
