Kevin. Durant couldn't believe that he was likely to lose again.

"With 3 minutes left in the game, the Warriors are trailing by 12 points! We all know how strong the Warriors' offensive firepower is, and chasing 12 points in 3 minutes seems to be difficult for them. But don't forget, under Coach Henson's system, the Pacers are the best defensive team in the league. None of them have conceded 12 points in the final three minutes of the season. ”

Mike. Brin was trembling with excitement, and in 3 minutes, the results of the 2017-2018 season would be in. Because now, the overall score of the series between the Pacers and the Warriors is 3-3, and this is a tie-break!

If the Pacers can bite off the last three minutes of the game, they will lift the O'Brien Cup for the second year in a row!

Mike. Brin couldn't help but glance at Henson, the Chinese coach still standing calmly on the sidelines. He seems to have a lot of confidence in his team, but given the Pacers' stellar performance this year, Henson does have the capital to do so.

At the start of the season, the Pacers didn't have a good record because they experienced Chris. Paul's injury.

Now, even with all sorts of badge bonuses, Henson can't completely avoid Paul's injury. It can be seen that the physical condition of the former league's No. 1 point guard has begun to decline significantly.

People may have forgotten that Paul was badly wounded! It's no surprise that his injuries keep coming and going.

Soon, though, the Pacers were back on track and playing very happily.

Paul. George is as steady as ever, and there is speculation that the Pacers will definitely keep George at a max salary this summer. Antetokounmpo's progress continues, averaging 22.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game last season. And this season, that number has become 26.9 and 10.0.

Of course, there are many other players who are equally good.

Kyle. Kuzma, the last rookie in the first round, was the first player in the class of 2017 to score 30 points in a single game. Henson's draft once again shocked the entire league. Of course, among them, "Magic" Johnson must be the blackest face. Originally, that dynamic No. 0 forward should have belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Although Josh. Hart's performance was also very good, but it was still not impressive compared to Kuzma.

Siakam has continued to grow, and he has improved a lot defensively this year, developing some back-to-back offensive ability. And, most importantly, Siakam is much more confident than last season. The current Siakam is not a big hit, but he is definitely no longer a nobody.

Oladipo, like Antetokounmpo, continues to improve. During Paul's injury, Henson had Oladipo play in the starting number one for a while.

It has to be said that Oladipo's playmaking ability and off-ball attacking ability need to be improved. But just hand him the ball and wait to watch the bombing of the basket show.

As for Lopez, Bogdanovic, "Funny Bifenson" and Danny. The Green four, on the other hand, is a steady play and an indispensable part of the Pacers.

Brogdon, the winner of last season's most unpopular rookie of the year, has not improved much this year, but he has still maintained his level and has not had the embarrassing situation of "rookie is the peak".

Paul has had an injury, but the level is still there. Paul remains one of the top point guards in the league, Henson said.

In this way, Henson scored 68 wins in the regular season. Don't look at the Pacers this year, they still haven't won 70 wins, but 68 wins is already a full 10 wins more than the Golden State Warriors! It is also 3 more wins than the Rockets, who are second in the league. In the east, this result is even more invincible.

The Toronto Raptors, who are second in the East, have only won 59 games this season. The difference between the first and second wins is almost 10 games.

In the playoffs, the Pacers continued to maintain a devastating offense.

In the first round, the Pacers swept the Washington Wizards 4-0 and taught young Wall a lesson.

Wait, the 27-year-old doesn't seem too young either. But after being in the Wizards for so long, this champion has never led the team to any proud results......

It seems that this summer, transfer rumors about Wall and the Wizards should be flying all over the sky.

In the second round, the Pacers met the Cleveland Cavaliers early.

The Cavaliers have had a dismal season season, finishing fifth in the East in the regular season and winning two fewer games than the Philadelphia 76ers. And the 50-win record is also the worst record of a team with James since the 11-12 season.

But you have to know that the 11-12 season was a season of shrunken......

The Cavaliers went through a lot of personnel changes in the middle of the season, with Thomas Jr., Wade and Rose all leaving. In the current Cavaliers team, only James and Love can be called "giants". This is also the least number of stars on James' team since he joined the Heat.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, James averaged 34.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game, and he is still a great athlete. Unfortunately, the gap between the Riders and the Pacers is too huge.

In this way, the originally ambitious Cleveland Cavaliers were swept 4-0 by the Pacers. And this is also the 10th year, LeBron . James missed the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time!

There is no doubt that the reign of the first person in the alliance has come to an end. LeBron. James may no longer be the most dominant player in the league.

Even though, he cut a near-triple-double per game.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, in the face of the Celtics' tough resistance, Henson still swept him out of the game 4-0. This is mainly because the Celtics injured Hayward in the first game of the season and Irving in the playoffs, so the team can only rely on Tatum and Jalen. Brown scored two youngsters.

It's a no-brainer for the Pacers to tackle a team led by two young men. People fantasized about the big battle between the Celtics and the Pacers, and it didn't take place. A one-sided slaughter cannot be turned into a big war.

So, for the second year in a row, the Pacers came to the Finals. The Golden State Warriors remain strong, with Durant, Curry, Green and Klay remaining among the league's best stars. Steve. Kerr has put away his pride and sarcasm this season and taken every game seriously.

In this way, the two teams played to the tie-break, and played until the last three minutes of the 2017-2018 season.

In the previous six games, both teams played well and played hard. It can be said that the two sides are close in strength. Durant's individual ability is undeniable, but the Pacers are also very strong as a team.

The same was true for Game 7, but at the start of the fourth quarter, Henson took the lead with a five-man lineup.

Tucker plays the No. 5 position, Antetokounmpo plays the No. 4 position, George No. 3 slot, Oladipo No. 2, and Paul is in control. This lineup led an offensive frenzy, and Tucker's tough defense caused the Warriors huge problems.

In this way, the Pacers widened the margin to 12 points. Seeing Tucker's performance on the court, Bird was immensely immense. In addition to admiring Tucker, he also admired Henson.

Last summer, when Henson said he could let Tucker play center, Bird couldn't believe it.

But as it turned out, Henson's crazy idea worked again. This season, Tucker has been doing well at the No. 5 spot. Whether it is defense or rebounding, he is not held back by his height of less than 2 meters.

After that, Durant wanted to control the game, but Antetokounmpo's defense put Durant under a lot of pressure.

Last summer, he gave up nearly $10 million to stay with the Warriors, and his purpose was to win the championship!

If you can't win the championship this year, what's the point of taking 10 million less? That's $10 million!

Durant gritted his teeth and chose the breakthrough after the fake shot. After bursting to the basket, in the face of Tucker's quick defense, Durantra made a layup and the basketball went into the net, narrowing the gap to 10 points.

Commentators around the world have praised Durant, who is considered to be the number one in the active league. This scorer can do anything, and today he has already scored 34 points on Antetokounmpo's head!

But Henson was still the same, standing quietly on the sidelines, looking like he was bound to win.

He believes that as long as Curry and Klay are not allowed to explode at the last moment, then the Warriors will not be able to turn over the 10-point gap by relying on Durant alone.

So in the next few rounds, Durant frequently scored, but on the contrary, Curry and Klay had no way to score.

Today, Curry shot just 8-of-24 and Klay shot 6-of-16. After these two guys were locked up by Henson, the Warriors' firepower was not so terrifying.

Until the final 23 seconds, the Warriors still trailed by five points. This time, Durant was caught between Tucker and Antetokounmpo. Green stood outside the three-point line, but Durant didn't dare to pass the ball. Because in the playoffs this season, Green's three-point shooting rate was only 26.6%, which was very unreliable.

So, Durant took a desperate step and passed the basketball to Curry! Only if this three-point shot continues to be hit, the Warriors have a theoretical hope of winning.

Chris. Instead of risking the basketball, Paul was trying to block Curry's shooting space from start to finish.

Henson said he was still one of the best point guards in the league!

As a result, Curry's shot was entirely carried out under Paul's serious interference. At that moment, Henson felt like his heart was about to jump out, everyone had worked hard for so long this season, and they couldn't be killed by Curry's last three points.

After a "long" flight, the basketball finally hit the neck of the basket! Tucker defended the rebound with just 10.2 seconds left before the end of the game! The Warriors immediately fouled Tucker and sent Tucker to the free throw line!

At that moment, fans all over Indianapolis raised their arms and cheered! They believe that the Pacers will not be able to return the victory to the Warriors!

The moment the Warriors fouled, Henson immediately made a substitution. He replaced Antetokounmpo with Bogdanovic, which means that the five players on the field of the Pacers on the court all shot high free-throw percentages, and the Warriors couldn't use their brains.

After the substitution, Henson slumped to the bench. He appeared to be calm, but in fact the shirt inside the suit was soaked with sweat. Henson couldn't believe what he would do if he failed.

Thankfully, the worst didn't happen and his players didn't disappoint him. If nothing else, in a few rounds, the Pacers will lift the O'Brien Cup for the second year in a row.

Henson let out a sigh of relief and looked at the dome of the Banker's Living Arena.

Now, there's only one last lap left!
