Thunder 3-2 Pacers, the boat has passed ten thousand mountains
When the Pacers and the Thunder successfully met in the NBA Finals, countless people sighed: The NBA is about to change, and the new league king will be established; and countless people predicted in unison: The Pacers are not enough to stop the Thunder from winning the championship! That's right, neither the Thunder nor the Pacers have ever won the NBA championship in history, and they both have the heart of a championship. But then again, the Thunder are the league's overlords. They are spending an epic season with a devastating momentum. If they don't win the championship, they will fail; while the Pacers are just a civilian team. Their counterattacks are moving with the attitude of an Eastern dark horse, making it easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Thunder.
The Pacers' dark horses are indeed very good. In the finals, G1, they narrowly passed the game with Halliburton's magical mid-range shot and took away the home advantage; in the finals, G2, the Thunder's revenge came as scheduled, and they equalized the series with a 16-point victory; G3 returned to the Pacers' home court, and the Pacers bench bandits beat the Thunder 49-18 and won another game; in the G4, the Thunder was forced to return to the double tower starter, and the Pacers took advantage of the victory and established a 10-point lead at one time. Under the desperate situation, Alexander scored 15 points at the critical moment of the final quarter, led the team to escape and forced the equalization of the series. When the battle of Tianwang Mountain was in the battle, the Pacers were determined to kill the enemy but were unable to turn the world back. They once chased the score difference to 2 points when they were 18 points behind. Unfortunately, they still collapsed at the decisive moment, watching the Thunder team stand on the top of Tianwang Mountain. The monkeys on both sides of the shore can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed thousands of mountains. From losing home advantage to regaining home advantage, to holding match points 3-2, the Thunder's championship is very good.
No. 1 in history and 1 in history. The new NBA king combination was born. The Thunder rewrites the series score to 3-2, only one game away from the first NBA championship in the team's history. The result seems beautiful, but the process is extremely tortuous. In this process, we are witnessing the birth of the new NBA king group: Alexander and Jaylenway. Start with Alexander. From the regular season to the playoffs, the Thunder have passed the sprints, and Alexander's performance is just two words: ruthless and stable! Even when it came to the big stage of the finals, Alexander was still unstoppable. So far in the finals, Alexander averaged 32.4 points + 4.6 rebounds + 5 assists + 2.4 steals + 1.8 blocks per game. Among them, G1, Alexander scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 cuts; G2, Alexander scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 cuts; G4, Alexander scored 35 points, 3 rebounds, 3 cuts; G5, Alexander contributed 31 points, 10 assists, 2 cuts, 4 blocks. At the same time, Alexander also set several god-level records.
According to statistics from the NBA official website, Alexander has scored 30+ in 10 consecutive home games at home, surpassing Chamberlain (9 consecutive games), ranking first in NBA history alone. At the same time, Alexander has scored at least 30 points + 5 assists in a single game in 12 playoffs, surpassing Jordan (11 times) and James (11 times), ranking first in NBA history alone. In another statistics, Alexander scored a total of 162 points in the five finals, surpassing Durant (153 points) to become the Thunder's history finals scoring leader. This is Alexander. Even though countless people can't stand his playing style, he can still carry the team with indiscriminate central shots and killings, saving the team from dire straits.
Let's talk about Jaylenway. Jaylenway is just a third-grade freshman, and his personal performance is not as stable as Alexander. But what is commendable is that Jay Leonard has too strong learning and adjustment ability. The bigger the stage, the bigger the heart! Especially in the finals, Jaylenway is evolving in every game. G1, Jaylenway scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists; G2, Jaylenway contributed 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists; G3, Jaylenway scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists; G4, Jaylenway scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists; G5, Jaylenway scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. According to statistics, Jaylenway is the second player in the Thunder's history to score 40+ in the Finals, and Westbrook is the first. At the same time, Jaylenway scored 40+ in just 35 minutes, ranking first in NBA history, surpassing Antetokounmpo (38 minutes) and Kobe (40 minutes). Alexander ensures the basic offensive and defensive system, Jaylenway was ordered to kill the enemy invisibly, the new Thunder King combination is young and fearless, and the sky is the limit.
Halliburton's calf strain was injured, and the Eastern Conference dark horses had no way out
The new Thunder King combination made a heavy blow, and the Pacers suffered their first consecutive defeat since the playoffs. Although falling behind 2-3 is not the end of the world, the Pacers still have the chance to continue the series after returning to home. But what is not good for the walkers is that Halliburton's calf injury is not optimistic. According to the NBA famous reporter Shams, Halliburton suffered a calf strain, and the specific degree of strain must be waited for the results of the MRI examination. If Halliburton cannot play in the G6, or Halliburton is troubled by injuries and cannot maintain its attack power and revitalize the team, then the Pacers can only ask for more blessings. For this Eastern Conference dark horse team, their ability to grab two wins from the Thunder has far exceeded many people's expectations. Now, Halliburton's accidental injury will be a brand new challenge for them, but they have no way out, and defending the home court to the death is the only way out. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
