While the Rockets swept the Spurs 4-1 to enter the Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals, the game between the Heat and the Pacers has entered the white-hot stage.

While the Pacers had a lower regular season record, the Heat with James are clearly the stronger team in the playoffs.

In the first four games, the Heat, like the Rockets, beat the Pacers 3:1, and unlike the Spurs, the Pacers stubbornly pulled back another city in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals to chase the total score to 3:2.

The two sides play Game 6 on the Heat's home court.

In this life-and-death battle for the Pacers, Paul. George can be said to have given everything he could, scoring a game-high 29 points and 8 rebounds, but the team can only help him with 16 points David. West & Lance. Stevenson.

Roy, who was pinned on by the walkers and was known as the Black Yao. Hibbert performed undercover, shooting 1-of-3 from the field and scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists from the free throw line.

On the other hand, on the Heat's side, James and Bosh both scored 25 points, and Wade only scored 13 points despite his poor hand, but he had 6 rebounds and 6 assists, helping the team in other aspects.

At 117:92, the Heat eliminated the Pacers 4:2 with a big win to advance to the Finals.

Heat vs. Rockets, the drama that has been playing out in the league for the past two years, the two teams met in the Finals for the third year in a row, and the two teams had won one game each, which was considered a tie.

But if you want to say something different, the Heat took a big advantage at that time, Da Yao was unable to play because of Perkins' injury and suspension, and Wang Chao was led by a single core to defeat the Big Three alone.

Last year, both teams were strong and healthy, the Rockets added Garnett to form a Big Three configuration, and the Heat also absorbed Ray Allen, Lewis and other good players.

But the result of the collision of the two aircraft carriers was that the heat was like paper paste, and it was smashed to pieces.

swept 4-0, and all four games were big scores, and the Heat had no way to fight back.

One thing to say, if the Rockets are still in the same state as last season, there is no suspense in the Finals at all, and the Heat will definitely not be their opponent.

This is also a point that Heat fans are extremely happy about.

Garnett, like Ray Allen on their side, has dropped out of the team's main squad as he ages.

Da Yao suffered an injury at the beginning of the season and was out of action for nearly half a year until the second round of the playoffs, and has played nine games so far.

In fact, compared with Wang Chao, the Heat team is more afraid of Da Yao, after all, no matter how strong Wang Chao is, at least he is a player in the same position as James, and with James and Battier and others joining forces, they can still curb Wang Chao's play a little, even if it is an extreme way to block the passing path of other Rockets players with a bag.

But Da Yao is different, as long as Da Yao is under the basket, the Heat have no choice, and they have no players on the inside who can stop Da Yao, which is why the Heat almost frantically signed inside players after suffering a fiasco last summer.

But what can you expect from an interior player who is only signed with a veteran's base salary?

None of the several centers signed by the Heat can be relied upon, and the result is that Bosh can only be used as the team's center to play a more mobile small-ball lineup.

This lineup is really useful in today's era when there is a lack of high-quality interior centers, but in the finals, they met the Rockets with Da Yao......

Now, the Heat and their fans, before the start of the Finals, can only pray that Da Yao is still greatly affected by the injury, and there is no way to show strong enough dominance on the court to influence the game, otherwise they really have no chance of winning.

But it is clear that their expectations have been disappointed.

On June 5, the first game of the Finals was played on the Rockets' home court.

The Rockets' starting list is impressively listed, and Garnett was not on the starting list in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the Rockets.

Chao Wang, Butler, Leonard, Chandler. Parsons, Da Yao, this is the Rockets' starting five.

And the starting point on the Heat's side is Mario. Chalmers, Wade, James, Rashard. Lewis and Bosh.

Lewis originally played as a bench in the Heat, but in the playoffs, Lewis's performance was remarkable, especially after James and Ray after shooting 37% from beyond the three-point line. Allen, considering his height of 2.08 meters, can fully appear in the position of power forward, so from the time of the Eastern Conference finals, Lewis was mentioned in the starting list.

Just from the starting lineups of the two sides, a huge gap has been seen.

The Rockets' lineup is stronger than the Heat, both in terms of height and overall strength.

If the Heat want to compete with the Rockets, the Big Three will have to play up.

But this is not realistic, because this season, the Heat team is almost completely supported by James, and the other two giants, Bosh has always been the one who takes the blame, averaging only 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in the regular season, and the data is not as good as Leonard of the Rockets.

Wade, on the other hand, has been plagued by injuries, his explosiveness has been reduced, and his scoring ability has also been affected, and his average data has dropped to 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

This score is Wade's lowest since his rookie season, except for the first season when he first joined the league, Wade averaged 16 points per game, and he has never averaged less than 20+ points per game in the following season, and it has been nine consecutive seasons so far!

After entering the playoffs, Wade's performance has also continued to decline, averaging only 17.2 points per game before the Finals.

The so-called Big Three of the Heat team actually existed in name only at this time, and neither Wade nor Bosh had the strength of a top star.

Wang Chao estimated that James at this time may be ready to run away after losing the Finals, after all, this Heat team now seems to have no strength to compete for the championship.

As a free agent whose contract expires, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, there is no reason in this world to work for you and be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life.

James also brought a championship to the Heat, and he doesn't owe them much, the only thing he owes is probably his good brother Wade.

And James's behavior of running if he can't beat it does seem to have a little bit of a discount, after all, Jordan didn't think about running away when he was beaten by the Pistons every year in the early days of the Bulls.

However, this is only an evaluation of a player's personality and choices, and does not really affect a player's historical status.

After all, this kind of thing can't be measured by double standards, the behavior of running away with a bucket, the league's usually more recognized second person in history, Abdul-Jabbar has also done it, and the behavior of the Big Three was also experienced as early as Chamberlain, when Chamberlain, who was desperate for a championship to no avail, chose to switch to the Lakers and Jerry. West and Elgin. Baylor's two of the league's top superstars form a triumvirate to compete for the title.

At that time, the age of the three was 32 years old, 30 years old and 34 years old, although the age was slightly older, but they were still in their playing years, at least in the first and second years of formation, the individual abilities of the three were still outstanding, and they were the only team in the league where three players could average 20+ points per game at the same time.

It's a pity that the first Big Three in NBA history failed to win the championship after being formed, and Chamberlain's first championship with the Lakers happened to be Elkin. Baylor won the season he retired.

The Lakers symbolically awarded Baylor a championship ring after winning the championship, but he still didn't win the championship in the strict sense of the word.

said a lot, of course, not to prove that James's behavior of running away with a bucket is correct, but it is a bit unfair to look at James in the form of double standards after all, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal and other top ten superstars in history also have similar situations, but they are rarely mentioned, including Abdul-Jabbar's 41-41 loss, and even the MVP that did not enter the playoffs can be used as a basis for Abdul-Jabbar to be stronger than James.

Putting these factors aside, the honors James has won are indeed enough for him to leave a place in the top ten or even the top three in history.

Of course, this is limited to James in the original history.

In this time and space when Wang Chao was born...... James's current honors can be ranked in the top 20 in history, which can be regarded as high incense.

The current James has these trophies in the honor book:

Regular season MVPX1, championship X1, finals FMVPX1, scoring champion X1, one team and one defense several...... And then it's gone.

This honor is really quite barren, especially compared to James at the same time in history, there are three fewer regular season MVPs, one less championship and one FMVP, and these are all thanks to Wang Chao.

The existence of Wang Chao has solved the possibility of Zhan Mi and Zhan Hei groups setting off a scolding war with each other on the Internet in the future.

No one is going to discuss the historical status of a player who is ranked around twenty in history.

If James can't get a second championship or a second regular season MVP, his historical status is even lower than that of Durant, and naturally there won't be so much discussion.

And now, what Wang Chao has to do is to crush James' dream of winning the second championship in the Heat.

As soon as the game began, the Rockets immediately followed the style of play last season, frequently passing the ball to Da Yao on the inside.

Da Yao can score comfortably against Howard and Duncan in the West Finals, let alone against Bosh?

As long as he can receive the ball in the penalty area, for Da Yao, there are only two options for shooting or free throws.

In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets built a double-digit lead around Da Yao, and continued to play steadily in the second quarter, extending the lead to more than 20 points.

The strength of the Heat team in the 13-14 season is actually obvious to everyone.

In the finals, against Leonard's version of the Spurs, he was swept by a 4:1 gentleman and had no resistance.

The Rockets led by Wang Chao are definitely stronger than the Spurs, not to mention that now Da Yao is also present, even if there is no Da Yao, with the lineup of super five forwards, Wang Chao is sure to beat the Heat by a big score to win the championship.
