Chapter 561: Players Beyond MVP

With three consecutive sweeps, such Pacers are as arrogant as they face the Lakers in 2000, and are unrivaled in their own division.

However, in that year, the Lakers recognized as strong and invincible. In that year, they were the biggest boss, the absolute strongest team. None of them, they dominated the Western Conference playoffs and were killed by Iverson in the first game of the final with a 48-point performance. This is why Iverson also became the uncrowned king of the NBA and one of the strongest players without a championship.

However, this year, the Pacers with only one-core and multi-star Pacers are not as good as the Warriors with dual-core and multi-star. Even though they won the league first, in the eyes of many people, the Warriors are still more likely to win the championship. Last year, the Pacers won the championship, but in the hearts of many people, the Warriors' lineup is still stronger than the Pacers.

Not to mention that the Pacers are a typical individual team now. Although Oladipo and Gallinari are also All-Star players, they are actually the puzzle of Lin Sen's entire system.

Everyone felt that the Pacers had become weaker because of the departure of another George, who was close to the MVP level.

It is not as easy as the Pacers want to win the Warriors.

So at the beginning of the game, even when they shouted the slogan of fo-fo-fo, they were not as confident as they were.

But now it is still the home court of the Pacers. At this time, can the home fans of the Pacers be cowardly at this time? It is naturally impossible. They can only have one choice and firmly support the Pacers.

On the scene, at the beginning, the Pacers still had a certain advantage. They resolutely used Lin Sen's offensive ability to continue to expand their advantages in the game. In the first game, both sides continued the rhythm of the regular season.

During the regular season, the Pacers were suppressed by the Warriors, and they also lost a very important game at that time, which was considered a game previewed in advance in the finals.

Now, the Pacers have the advantage at the beginning. This advantage is entirely the advantage that Lin Sen played alone in the inside. The impact on the offensive end is too great. Whether it is their defensive core Green or MOP Jordan Bale who performed well in the Western Conference Finals, this time, they have no way to limit Lin Sen.

The last time was a double defender who pulled the switch. This time, Oladipo and Bogdanovic on the Pacers. When defending Thompson, Bogdanovic's defense unexpectedly seemed to have no big problems.

His defense should have been a weak link, but he was very good when he was not in the defense. It just so happened that Thompson is such a player. You really don’t have that great ability to play with the ball. At least at this time before, his defensive performance is really not bad.

Lin Sen's defense is also

In this case, the Pacers quickly wanted to widen the score difference in the first quarter. If it weren't for the excellent performance of the double MVP in those rounds, there would be no suspense tonight.

Even so, the score difference in the first quarter has reached a close to double-digit number. The Pacers' rhythm is very good. Oladipo's performance seamlessly connects the few minutes Lin Sen left the court. Two consecutive layups allowed the Pacers to maintain their form at the end of the first quarter.

"It's a good game!" Reggie Miller looked at the score on the court with a smile. The lead of 34:22 and 12 points is not small at all. In these few minutes, the Warriors' super attack relied on their personal abilities of double MVPs. They had no feeling of playing in the regular season and running without the ball in these rounds.

Someone asked O'Neal before what would happen when he came to this era. He said that he would destroy this small ball era. Now the peak of the small ball should be considered the Warriors. O'Neal believes that no one in the Warriors can stop him from scoring. O'Neal doesn't know if O'Neal can be defended by the Warriors. Maybe this is not easy to verify, but it can be confirmed that the Warriors have no way to solve Lin Sen. At least one person doesn't seem to have any chance.

Although this series depends on who wins 4 games first before he can decide on his victory, the victory in this first game is also very important.

The Pacers took a huge lead at this point in time, which was not what the two teams expected at the beginning. It can only be said that Linson has been evolving this season. Now his personal ability may have reached a higher influence on the court than MVP players like James, Durant, and Curry.

"Stephen, Kevin, show your strength. Is it really going to be suppressed by that Chinese guy just casually on the court? You are a three-time regular season MVP, and the guy on the opposite side hasn't even got the MVP for the first time." Kerr was very dissatisfied with his two-way MVP performance.

In fact, there was no problem with them. Among the 22 points in the first quarter, this pair of MVP scored 18 of them.

Lin Sen can be said to have performed extraordinaryly tonight. His offense and defense completely dominated the first quarter, which will lead to a huge lead in the first quarter.

However, in the second quarter, when Lin Sen was not on the court, this period was a very severe test for the Pacers. Whether their defense can support the opponent's fierce attack is still a very serious problem.

For example, now, Lin Sen may have a high limit of playing time that he can still play a lot of roles. At this time, he is out, but the Pacers still maintain their offensive intensity at this time, even in the second quarter. Durant, who had played in the first 8 minutes in the first quarter, can still be on the court.

Grant is a player who basically plays with Durant. This year's Pacers chose him instead of Sabonis, who looks better talented, because the Pacers are basically full in the inside, and the other is because they have to have a player who has a good defense in the number three who can do such dirty work.

Grant's defense against Durant at this time will determine whether the more than ten points they have won in this quarter will be slowly eroded as the game progresses.
