Legend of Tomorrow

Before the finals began, online predictions of victory and defeat, people are optimistic about the sun, although the Pacers have veteran Reggie Miller who is about to retire.

Almost all opponents at the same time as Miller retired. The remaining veterans will also join his team for a championship ring. Miller's old teammates in the Pacers have also left. The once reckless big mouth was lost in the years.

Are you going to leave? When thinking about the career path, the then general manager "Big Bird" Bird tried to retain Miller. The phrase "The Pacers need you" made Miller decide to dedicate his entire career to the Pacers.

Under Miller's perseverance, the Pacers have re-accumulated a group of powerful players this season and reached the finals.

Everyone knows that this is Miller ’s last season. When he last appeared in Madison Square Garden, the New Yorker who hated Miller had reason to use the most devilish words and the highest decisive boos to satirize this. An enemy with empty hands.

But on that night, only a touch of sadness and respect filled the entire game. All the audience stood up and shouted his name. Miller, a once-talking guy, won the respect of fans and opponents with his spirit of never giving up.

After eighteen years in the NBA, Miller has left countless classics, such as Miller moments, lock throat ceremony, gentleman ceremony.

Miller can still play a role. In the fifth game of the East, he played 33 minutes, 11 of 16 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, 27 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists to help the Pacers win. The Battle of Tianwang Mountain proved its strength.

However, the gap between the two teams is obvious, the sun can say that each position has advantages.

Especially in the first position, the Pacers' starting point guard is Jamal Tinsley, and the substitute is Anthony Johnson. Both are just role players. They can't limit Guo Xu alone. People think that the final suspense is not who won the championship, but the Suns won the championship in a few games.

In an interview before the game, everyone in the Sun was confident, and the Pacers players and coaches just said they would try their best.

Guo Xu is the most confident person. Without the battle of Auburn Hills Palace, the Pacers entered the finals by accident. How could they win the championship? The team that won the previous championship in 2005 was the Spurs, but the Suns spurred the Spurs in the Western Conference.

On June 9, the first battle between the two sides started in Phoenix.

Due to the late start of the season and the tie-break in the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers only took two days off to start the final. The Suns have a huge advantage in physical strength.

Even so, D'Antoni did not arrange the running and bombing tactics, but let Stoudemire and Nene form a double tower starter, attacking more positions, and constantly picking up screens to create misplaced offense opportunities.

This was the Sun's main strategy against the Timberwolves last season. O'Neal's defense is good. It is still slightly inferior to Garnett and not tough enough. This can be seen from his face. As long as O'Neal was removed from the penalty area, the Suns' two insides would hit the basket together enough for the Pacers.

Jeff Foster is a blue-collar center with a height of 211CM and a weight of 110 kg. In Guo Xu's previous life, Foster was an obscure blue-collar until his retirement, and there was no bright spot in every aspect except for the frontcourt rebounds.

Foster is at a disadvantage against the Suns' two major inside lines, and can be empty outside the offense. His stats this season are the peak of his career. He scored 6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks in 25 minutes.

The data alone shows Foster ’s ability to protect the frame. The 7-foot white big man has almost no blocks. His defense is based on height interference. It can deal with the general inside, and it ca n’t jump against Stoudemire and Nene. You have to watch them perform.

The Pacers' bench is not as good as Foster. Dale Davis is 36 years old. He chose to lose weight to keep up with the pace of the game. He is 211 cm tall and weighs only 104 kg.

Austin Crosshill is a 206 cm tall, 107 kg space forward who has a worse frame protection ability. He has already become a representative of high salary and low energy. This season's 37.8% shooting rate is speechless, averaging only 8 minutes in the playoffs.

For the Pacers to change defenses indefinitely, the inside players are more mobile. The only meat shield is 211CM tall and 120 kg in weight. Scott Pollard is just a marginal man in the team.

Guo Xu passed to his teammates to attack the inside. He found a chance to shoot in the periphery. Only when the big man was misplaced, he broke through. When he rushed to attract the bag, he also chose to score. This style of play was beyond Carlisle's expectations, and it took the Pacers three quarters.

Carlisle believes that Guo Xu will try his best to fight for FMVP. It is impossible for the finals to take very few shots, so he emphasized his defense before the game. As a result, Guo Xu organized the whole game to attract defensive assists.

Guo Xu can put more energy on the defensive end and struggle with Tinsley.

In the first game he played 38 minutes, 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 17 points, 4 rebounds, 18 assists and 2 steals; Tinsley made 0 of 5 shots and 2 of 3 3-pointers In the game, there were no free throws, 0 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Sun team scored in double figures and shared selflessly. Only Stoudemire scored 20+. He scored 26 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes, and beat O'Neal 18 points and 7 rebounds.

O'Neal currently has a shortcoming, scoring too much reliance on shooting, back-turning shots, Nene, Diop, Haslem and others who took turns defensive shooting rate drop.

In the first game, O'Neal made only 6 of 18 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and no assists. With such a performance at the core of the team, it is not surprising that the Pacers lost 27 points.

In the second battle between the two sides, O'Neal recovered his feelings, and the Pacers' outer line was prevented from becoming a blacksmith.

The hit rate of Jackson and Artest is only 36.4% and 31.6%, which is terrible. Reggie Miller made 3 of 6 shots, scoring 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Suns won again 107-86, with a total score of 2-0.

In the third game of the Suns, Polis won the game easily, and with a solid defense, they always laughed at the end with a higher offensive efficiency.

Tinsley was beaten by Guo Xu in the field. The best-performing game scored 8 points and 10 assists and never scored in double figures. Guo Xu scored 20 + 10 in two games with a shooting percentage of more than 50%.

In the fourth game, the league didn't want to see the finals swept again. The Pacers' home whistle was more obvious. O'Neal had 36 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Jackson finally fought once, hitting six three-pointers, scoring 26 points, 2 rebounds and 3 steals.

Under the efforts of the two people ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Pacers 101 to 94 pulled back a game.

On the defensive end, the Pacers had a large defensive action and a strong gunpowder smell. Stoudemire and Foster nearly fought in a conflict. Fortunately, they were caught. The Pacers had the idea of ​​"scratching" for victory. If the two men are suspended together, the Pacers must have made a profit.

In the fifth game, the Suns were mainly anti-guests, and no more opportunities for the Pacers. Guo Xu broke out after four low-key games. He took the ball to break through, received the ball and shot, attracted a double-pointer, played very flexible, and ruled the court.

He made 16 of 25 shots, 7 of 12 3-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws and scored 47 points and 8 assists.

Tinsley's mentality has completely collapsed, and Guo Xu cannot be prevented one-on-one. He made only 4 of 12 shots, 4 of 3 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 12 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

Joe Johnson, Marion, and Raja Bell also had excellent performances, once again preventing Artest and Jackson.

The Suns beat away by 79 away, defeating the Pacers with a total score of 4-1, and won the championship.
