Chapter 236: Eastern Champion

Paul George showed great strength in the second half and he was scolded by his coach.

He's still young, the fight isn't over yet, and he can't throw in the towel.

But now it's too late, more than twenty points behind, and not everyone can muster up the courage.

As a result, the second half was a bit of a taste of the Pacers helping Paul George brush up the data, and Paul George himself was also bitter, but this is also the team's tactic.

He will soon re-sign the Pacers with a maximum salary, which is also the team's face-saving for their core.

The Heat also gave the opponent a face, and when the Pacers removed all the main forces in the second half of the final quarter, the Heat also replaced all the main players.

This time, they even crushed the opponent with rebounds, which shows how weak the team is after losing confidence.

It's 4:0 again, no one says anything about the state coming out too early, and the current Heat is full of domineering.

The Eastern Conference Championship Awards Ceremony was lively, but apparently some of their players were used to it.

The Heat are the third team in NBA history to reach the Finals for four consecutive years, alongside the Lakers and Celtics. "God forbid, flattered." "We don't take it for granted, it's an incredible record, it's an incredible team. We knew we needed to work hard and we never took it for granted to make it to the finals four times in a row. ”

'This team likes to compete and it's at a high level, which also allows us to reach a higher level. Heat head coach Spoelstra said.

"It's very disappointing not to achieve the goal, especially when we lose to the same opponent three years in a row. We are fighting against the contemporary Jordan and the contemporary Bulls. For the Heat's performance in this series, we need to take our hats off and salute. Pacers coach Vogel said with grace.

"They're going to win the championship, no, we're not their opponents." This is how the Pacers' West described the gap between them and the Heat.

"We worked so hard, but now it's like this, and it really hurts us." Stephenson was sad.

With the East at the top, they will have to wait for their last opponent.

The game between the Spurs and the Thunder has been a bumper again.

In Zhang Xiaotian's opinion, the Spurs are stronger, and the Thunder are not weak, but their most powerful weapon is precisely unable to restrain the Spurs.

In the fourth game, the Spurs let the double less play super performance, and the Thunder chased the total score to a 2:2 draw.

The Spurs have a good individual defense and a good overall defense, so this should not happen.

However, considering that the Spurs are most afraid of others being unreasonable, Durant and Westbrook are unreasonable and lead the team to win the game, which seems to be very reasonable.

At one point in the third quarter of the game, the difference reached 27 points, and Duncan was rarely furious, not only negotiating with the referee several times, but also arguing loudly with Popovich.

"The coach told us that he needs everyone to play with their all at their best, and I need to take the lead as a point guard." Westbrook, who hit 40+10+5+5, said, "My job is to control the ball on both ends of the floor. This is a must-do if you want to win the championship. ”

Du Shao once praised Wei Shao as an MVP-caliber player at the MVP award ceremony, and today he praised his teammates again: "His concentration on the defensive end, his lethality on the offensive end, are things we would like to see." We don't know much about us from outside, but we're built on the foundation of his wreaking havoc on the defensive end and his patience on the offensive end. ”

Wei Shao was extremely efficient today, shooting 50% from the field, making only 5 three-pointers and 14 of 14 free throws. Ginobili was very helpless about this: "Sometimes he can do whatever he wants, and he has the ability to do that. If he hits a lot of jumpers, then it's going to be hard to defend. ”

As they did two years ago, Spurs were once again tied with a 2-0 lead. In 2012, the Spurs then lost two more games, 2-4 by the Thunder. But Parker said he wasn't worried. "I don't think we should think like that." "Every game is different, every series, every year is different. We've worked hard all year to get home advantage and now it's time to defend it. ”

Durant also commented on the direction of the series, saying, "We all try to move forward, we know how difficult it is to play on the road and win, and we have to take care of everything. Now we feel good, but not satisfied. ”

However, there can only be one winner, and Zhang Xiaotian and other Heat players are already adjusting their state to prepare for the finals.

In the fifth game, the Spurs changed the formation to play one big and four small, adding an outside shooting point, Duncan, a man who did not want to grow old, single-handedly beat the young man of the Thunder on the inside, and the Spurs won Tianwang Mountain.

Compared with the Eastern Conference Finals, the Spurs and Thunder are a bit incomprehensible.

I can't fight to the end in every game, either you will beat me, or I will beat you.

"It's the craziest series I've ever had." Duncan, a veteran who entered the NBA in 1997, lamented. If the Spurs win the next game, Duncan will be able to lead the team to the Finals for the second year in a row.

"Truth be told, I don't have an answer." Spurs head coach Popovich said, "I feel like every game is different, and that's just the way it is. My team and I have been talking about it and we don't have any clues, we don't know what's going to happen, we don't know why there's such a big difference, we don't know if they're dead or under control, we don't know if the game is going to be five or not. ”

Back in San Antonio, the Thunder seem to be back in the rhythm of losing by a total of 52 points in the previous two games, although this time with Serge Ibaka on the floor. "We let them do whatever they wanted, they dribbled to the basket, they hit three-pointers, they went to the free throw line." Thunder head coach Brooks said.

'We don't have a crosshair, we need to be aggressive, we need to defend, we need to survive defensively when we can't hit shots, but today we didn't do that. Durant was a little annoyed.

The Spurs' change of lineup is a big reason, which the Thunder can't do, they only have one of the strongest lineups.

Anyway, at the end of May, they started their sixth game.

In comparison, the Heat are more willing to meet the Thunder, and the Thunder can cut a few, with fewer variables.

But it doesn't matter if they meet the Spurs, their Dinghai Shenshen Needle Duncan is a year older after all.

Although he didn't say it on the surface, as a teammate, Zhang Xiaotian still understood James's thoughts, James wanted to beat the Spurs, but he fell in front of the Spurs twice.

For Zhang Xiaotian, no matter which opponent he meets, he is full of confidence.

In the finals, he will show the best version of himself, and it is time to use some means of preparation.

The key game attribute of Mr. Key Level 2, he didn't deliberately stay until now, the team has performed too well before, but it makes no difference.
