On June 2, the NBA playoffs have come to an end, and the Thunder will compete with the Pacers for the final championship. I believe many people did not expect the match between these two teams. The Thunder could predict it. After all, their strength is still very strong, but the Pacers were definitely not expected. They did not expect to stand out in the East and become the super dark horse this time.

As the teams of two small cities, the Thunder and the Pacers have made history. Even though the outside world is not optimistic about them, they still advance to the finals step by step through their own efforts. The Thunder reached the finals again after 13 years. The last time was Durant, Westbrook and Harden, but this time it became Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Homegren, who are also the three new stars. It took 25 years for the Pacers. The last time it was Reggie Miller, but now it has become Halliburton. The two teams have a similar counterattack path, but they were both bottom teams three seasons ago. Unexpectedly, after just three seasons, the team achieved a super counterattack and entered the finals directly. Three seasons ago, the Thunder had a record of only 24 wins and 58 losses, making them the bottom team in the West. However, Alexander, who got the deal, is growing step by step. Now he has become the league's MVP and the league's number one scorer.

Let's take a look at the Pacers. The record was 25 wins and 57 losses three seasons ago, making it the bottom team in the Eastern Conference. Halliburton, the core of the team, also obtained through trades. From the Kings' trades, he has become an excellent point guard in the league step by step, and has also performed well in this playoffs. In addition, another core of the Pacers, the MVP of the East Finals, Siakam, also obtained through the transaction, which should be praised for the team's management's vision.

After three seasons, the two teams met in the finals to compete for the first championship trophy in their respective teams' history, which can be regarded as an example for other teams. Obviously, if you want to achieve a counterattack, you still need to be patient. Once you find a suitable core role, you must be unswerving and constantly form a lineup to make the team stronger. The two teams will start their first finals on June 6, and the Thunder have a home advantage.
