"The Spurs are in a bad situation!"

On May 12, 2004, the Pacers swept the Nets 4-0 by a 97-72 win on the road, becoming the first team to advance to the division finals. However, after the game, the Pacers did not leave the locker room, but stayed with Meng Xu to watch another division semifinal game in progress, the Spurs at home against the Timberwolves.

Since the Spurs' game against the Timberwolves started an hour later than the game between the Pacers and the Nets, the fourth quarter of the game had just begun when the game on the Pacers' side was over, everyone had showered and changed. It's just that the current situation on the court has been very unfavorable for the Spurs, the team is 12 points behind, but the Spurs don't see the slightest hope of overtaking the score, and even the possibility of approaching the score is very slim, three minutes into the fourth quarter, no one on the Spurs' side except Tim Duncan can score, and the Timberwolves are more blooming.

"Tim's teammates are just so bad." Looking at the picture being played on the TV, James Posey, who also had a good relationship with Duncan, shook his head and sighed repeatedly. As Meng Xu's most ironclad friend in the Pacers, James Posey naturally knows that Meng Xu very much hopes to take the Pacers and Duncan's Spurs to meet in the Finals one day, but seeing that the Pacers will reach the Finals for three consecutive seasons, and the Spurs have never been able to pass the Western Conference semifinals now.

Needless to say, Duncan's strength naturally goes without saying, as long as anyone who has watched the game between the Spurs and the Timberwolves knows that Duncan's strength is as strong as Kevin Garnett, when facing Duncan, he can only stay away from the basket and not fight Duncan under the basket. But compared to Kevin Garnett, Duncan's teammates are really bad, Tony Parker at the age of 3, Manu Ginobili at the age of 2, Bruce Bowen with almost no offensive ability, and Rasso Nesterovich, the main center who can even beat the parallel champion Michael Olovokandi, this is the main lineup of the Spurs now.

In the first three games of the series with the Timberwolves, Duncan played an average of 44 minutes per game, and averaged 27 points, 15..6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks per game, but the Spurs fell behind the Timberwolves 1-2. This was the case again in today's crucial fourth game, with the exception of Duncan, none of the Spurs scored in double figures, and the opposite Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett, Ratrill Sprewell, Wally Szebiak, Sam Cassel, Michael Olowokandi, the starting five all scored in double figures, and in this case, it would be hellish for the Spurs to win.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, pack up your things and go back to the hotel, and rest early." Watching the TV, Duncan singled Kevin Garnett with his back and narrowed the score to 10 points with a back-to-back jumper, but after turning his head, Wally Szczebiak used a 3-pointer to widen the gap to 13 points again, Meng Xu couldn't watch it anymore, it looks like the Spurs will still miss the finals this year, after sighing heavily, Meng Xu got up and left the locker room directly.

When the Pacers left New Jersey and returned to Indianapolis, it was already the afternoon of May 13, and the last two games of the division semifinals, the Heat vs. Pistons, and the Mavericks vs. Kings games, will also be played this evening.

After defeating the Nets to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers' eyes are also focused on the Heat and Pistons, after all, the Pacers' opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals will be born from these two teams.

"It seems that our opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals should be the Pistons, and it's a pity that we can't meet that big fat man in the Eastern Conference Finals." On the evening of May 13th, Meng Xu was in his villa in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Meng Xu's parents and He Hui's parents were playing mahjong on the side, while Meng Xu was sitting on the sofa in front of the TV with He Hui, watching the fourth game of the Pistons and Heat series.

The Heat, who had fallen behind 1-2, almost played themselves to the extreme in this game, especially the big shark O'Neal, who scored 34 points and 21 rebounds in the third quarter in the face of the Pistons' double Wallace combination. But for exactly the same reason as the Spurs' loss to the Timberwolves, in the Pistons' suffocating defense, the rest of the Heat players were never able to provide effective support for O'Neal in the fourth quarter, and O'Neal alone would definitely not be able to beat the Pistons.

In the end, the game ended with the Pistons fighting at home against the Heat, and the Pistons, who had already won the match point, were likely to be the opponents of the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

You must know that as early as the All-Star Game, O'Neal, who was jointly robbed of the All-Star MVP by Meng Xu and Maddy, Iverson, Carter and others, has already made a war letter to Meng Xu and others, and will blow them up once in the future, especially Meng Xu's Pacers, O'Neal even pointed to Meng Xu and claimed that he would blow up the Pacers in the playoffs and step on the Pacers' corpse to return to the championship, but O'Neal's Heat has not even passed the Pistons, presumably O'Neal must be extremely angry at this time.

In the 03-04 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend, O'Neal, who returned to the Staples Center, was in front of all the Eastern All-Stars in the locker room before the game began, vowed to lead them to beat the Western All-Stars, and was crowned All-Star MVP in front of all the Angelenos, in order to teach those who betrayed him a lesson. But Meng Xu and others, who had already discussed in advance to support Maddie to win the MVP, did not give O'Neal face very much, and finally missed the MVP, and O'Neal, who missed a chance to take revenge, was naturally extremely angry, and put Maddie, Carter, Iverson, Jermaine O'Neal, Meng Xu and others like Kobe Bryant, all of them into the enemy column, but now it's okay, the Pacers will not encounter the Heat in the playoffs, presumably after Jermaine O'Neal and others heard the news, I guess I'm very happy.

The game between the Mavericks and the Kings after the game between the Heat and the Pistons was somewhat unexpected, compared to the Pacers, who had taken the lead in qualifying, and the Timberwolves and Pistons, who had already won the match point, as the first Mavericks in the West, won two home games in a row and took a 2-0 lead, but lost two games in a row in Sacramento and was stubbornly equalized by the Kings. Chris Webber, who is now at the bottom of the big four forwards and is even about to be surpassed by Jermaine O'Neal, has been a god in the series against the Mavericks, averaging 28 points, 12 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in four games, and a big triple-double of 37 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in this game tonight led the Kings to a 117-106 victory over the Mavericks.

This season is undoubtedly the heyday of the big four forwards, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webb, their teams not only swept the top four in the West, but also eliminated their respective opponents in the playoffs and division finals, so in this case, a lot of media jumped out to build momentum for them, and even claimed that after the era of the big four centers is over, the basket of this league will enter the era of the big four power forwards domination.
