The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 121 Meeting of the Best Teams
The Spurs swept the Grizzlies 95:86 and advanced to the finals first. They will have nine days to rest and adjust, and sit and watch the smoke in the East.

Whether it is an old opponent or a new hero who will face off against the pinnacle, they are already waiting in front of them.

In the fourth game between the Pacers and the Heat, the Pacers coach said before the game: "We must control the ball better, we must be more active, and double-team James more. We will not double-team every time he catches the ball." clip, but disrupt his rhythm."

Whether it was smoke bombs or whatever, James was really in some trouble.

But the key issue is the inside line. Roy Hibbert is still in good spirits. Bosh only played hard one game. The fans don't care if he is injured or not.

In the final moment of the decisive battle, James was blown down by the referee, which also caused great controversy.

The final result was that the Pacers won the game, and the two teams tied 2:2.

The Spurs seem very laid back, and it's so much fun to watch people slam.

After losing the game, the Heat did not feel like a doomsday, because they have a lot of experience in fighting people.

"We don't need to be particularly confident before a certain game," James said in front of reporters. "We are already a very confident group. We are very excited to return to the home court for the fifth game."

Of course, those who are familiar with James must know that he is already very angry, and he must find his way back at home.

Sure enough, James of Tianwangshan broke out again, and scored 16 points in the third quarter while locking Paul George, defeating the Pacers in one fell swoop.

其实保罗-乔治全场也砍下27+11+5，比起詹姆斯30+8+6不遑多让，但詹姆斯显然更加有经验，集中火力赢得了对决。

But back to the Pacers' home court, the situation is somewhat similar to the fifth game, but the protagonist has changed.

The Pacers were also eliminated by the Heat last season, but at that time the core of the team was still another person. Paul George said, "The sixth game will determine our level, because we are in the same situation again, and the battle is 6-2. Finally, lost to the Heat, and now we are back home, we have to see our true level."

保罗-乔治这场比赛真正不输詹姆斯，他说到做到，28+8+5的数据和砍下29+7+6的詹姆斯不相伯仲。

And it also took the opponent away in a wave in the third quarter, but it was actually the inside that established the victory. Whether it was inside scoring or rebounding, the Pacers crushed the Heat.

The Heat's current lineup is actually built according to the small ball tactics proposed by their general manager Pat Riley long ago. It has strong mobility, offensive power and fast defensive rotation, but it suffers from the inside when defending.

This is why Roy Hibbert was able to take advantage of his prestige. He was originally a qualified starter, and his state fluctuated frequently.

After losing the sixth game, James said nothing to prepare for the tiebreaker.

This is truly a battle of life and death, no matter which team it is.

Even the Spurs players watched the live broadcast nervously, because this game will determine their opponents in the finals.

"Which team do you hope to meet?" Yang Feiyu asked with anticipation, as if planning to radiate the mysterious power from the east.

In front of women, of course we have to pretend, Zhang Xiaotian shrugged, "It doesn't matter, anyway, we will win the championship in the end."

In his heart, Zhang Xiaotian has actually repeatedly compared the two teams, and he is not the only Spurs player to do this.

They all have strong strikers. This striker includes the third position with both offense and defense, and the unique fourth position in the offense. I feel threatened.

The difference is that the Pacers have an extra guy who can play inside and make trouble, while the Heat have Ray Allen, an experienced and offensive substitute player.

In general, the defending champion is still more threatening.

The same goes for the regular season, the Spurs are not worried about Hibbert.

However, the Spurs can't decide the outcome of the game. What everyone didn't expect was that the Heat broke out in the second quarter when they returned to the home court.

First, Ray Allen made a three-pointer to dominate the rotation period, and then James beat Paul George with a penalty shot, and the Heat led by 15 points at halftime.

Paul George, who wanted to catch up in the third quarter, frequently fouled James, causing him to be sent off shortly after playing in the fourth quarter.

It doesn't matter if you win the life-and-death game, the key is that the Heat won even the rebounds.

Can you win inside? James and Wade can grab it. Wade both grabbed 6 offensive rebounds. The two brothers scored rebounds, steals and blocked shots.

The Pacers seemed to have not slept well, and they surrendered before the end of the game.

It's embarrassing that they didn't harden up at the critical moment after playing vigorously until the seventh game.

In this way, all the champions of the East and West were born, and the finals officially started three days later.

Heat vs. Spurs, there is no doubt that this is the matchup of the best team in the playoffs.

The fans, like the so-called experts, made a comparison of the strength of the two teams.

Not exactly a counterpoint comparison, but how threatening each line is.

At the back line, the Spurs have Parker, and the Heat have Wade. The two are similar in age and have different styles, but they are both very threatening. Parker has more feel on the offensive end.

Inside Duncan and Bosh, Bosh's advantage should be age and shooting range, other aspects are not as good as the old Duncan.

On the bench, Ray Allen and Ginobili have their own characteristics, and they also have unique skills that make opponents deadly.

As for the strongest No. 1 position, whether the two young men of the Spurs Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian can stop No.[-] in the same position is a question worth discussing.

Of course, players' abilities cannot be compared in this way in real games. For example, Bosh is actually an insider suitable for the Heat's tactics, and James also needs to pull out the insider to give him room to break through.

Speaking of it, the two teams are actually a bit similar. There are people on the inside but they can't form dominance due to various reasons, so the two teams don't need to consider the inside problem.

The Spurs just think about how to deal with James, and the Heat don't care how many points the Spurs have, just how to ensure that James plays comfortably.

There is no way, the tree's shadow man's life, in terms of popularity, James can hang the Spurs alone, so all topics before the game start revolve around him.

The Pacers have Paul George's rising talent and played seven games with the Heat. What does the Spurs have? Leonard is too low-key and not the core, and Zhang Xiaotian's substitute players are not qualified at all.

The momentum is all on the side of the little emperor whom the league touts, what can the Spurs do, just wait until the fight starts.
