Chapter 607: Three consecutive championships (finale)

In the next season, this Pacers still maintain their original lineup, and such a lineup is still very competitive. In any case, the intensity of this Pacers was recognized by everyone in the last season, and they will only be stronger next season.

In the new season, they did not make large-scale changes to the lineup, but their combat effectiveness this time is stronger than before.

Lin Sen once again strengthened his personal offense. Last season's Tiangou began to gradually become an important part of Lin Sen's offensive end, and the golden skill package was exchanged for the Prophet Moses Malone's frontcourt rebounding ability. This history's first frontcourt rebounder won the history's first frontcourt rebounding data with a height of less than 210cm. It is obvious that his frontcourt rebounding ability is obviously visible.

This season, the rebounding has risen to 14 and 4 per game, which is a reflection of rebounding ability. Lin Sen’s rebounding was not the top in the past, but now, this problem has been completed and his rebounding awareness is better.

Moreover, Lin Sen continued to use other skill packages to strengthen his ability in pick-and-roll and passes this season. These abilities may not be much enhanced by Lin Sen's strengthening of ball-holding offense. However, as Lin Sen's teammates, Garlinari, Oladipo, and Bogdanovic, who performed extremely toughly in the playoffs last year, currently has the strength of an All-Star or Qual-All-Star.

At the beginning of next season, the Pacers were in excellent form in the first two months. They not only inherited the extremely outstanding defense last season, but are still the best defensive team in the league. In the offense, Lin Sen also better used the characteristics of this team's super many stars to the extreme.

It is obvious that Lin Sen, the three-time champion, two-time MVP, one-time regular season MVP, two-time best defensive player, two-time team player. Such honors are probably more than enough for which team the core team is.

The biggest change in the Pacers is not Lin Sen, who has won many skill packs, but his All-Star teammates, Oladipo averaged 22.4 points per game, Garinari averaged 22.7 points per game, and Bogdanovic as the sixth man averaged 20.4 points per game. This is still the first team with four players averaging 20 points per game since big data statistics in 1984.

The honors of the strongest offense and strongest defense in the league all fell on the Pacers. Their offense and defense were the strongest this season. The Pacers have never lost any game, and this situation will only occur when there are players taking turns.

The Pacers don't seem to have any idea of ​​breaking the 73-win regular season record. They don't have many rest in the regular season, such as Linson, Sadies Young, Turner, and CJ Myers. These players are members of the Pacers' two consecutive championships. They have played nearly 100 games in each season in the past two years. Even if they have rest or occasionally minor injuries, they have definitely played more than 80 games.

So at this time, let them have a proper rest and enter the playoffs with the best pace. The Pacers this season are still ruined. In the key games, the Pacers won almost all the victories during the conversation.

During the All-Star Game, Lin Sen just went up to warm up, played soy sauce, and then left the court immediately. The Pacers fans who were looking forward to Lin Sen winning the All-Star MVP were a little disappointed, but this was not a problem at all. For them, the next championship and the playoffs were the stage where they wanted to prove it. Three consecutive championships were the symbol of the dynasty.

Although Lin Sen in the regular season has more skills and more scoring methods this season, his score is not more than before. Last season, he averaged 30 points per game. This season, Lin Sen's score "slides" to 26.3 points, which is already the fifth in the league. This score is not much for Lin Sen.

But if you compare his three teammates who scored 20 points, as well as his 64.7% shooting percentage and 40.4% three-point shooting percentage, you will know how high the quality of his 26.3 points is.

This season, even though the Pacers didn't trade a big star or had any changes in the free market, their performance this season was so good. Coupled with the crazy performances of the playoffs last season, they became the biggest favorite of the season from the beginning.

There was another sweep in front of the playoffs. This time, I encountered the Magic who finally made it to the playoffs again after several years. The poor Magic finally entered the playoffs again and met a big demon like the Pacers in the first round. I wonder if this is their misfortune.

In the two away games against the Pacers, I lost more than 20 points. I thought that after returning to home, this situation would be a little better, but when I returned to my home court, I should have a urine test when I played stimulant, but instead became the Pacers. 143:104, 137:99, the Magic played in two games with nearly 40 points, almost saying that I never wanted to play in the playoffs again.

The second round of the game is not much more difficult than the first round. Their opponent is the Celtics who played crazy this season. They are very clear about the creation and goals of small balls, transmission, and defense, so their condition

When facing the Celtics, they were beaten 20 times at their home court, but that was only one game. It was a game that everyone in the Celtics broke out, and they protected their first home court.

The Celtics fans who won this game were very excited. The Pacers' winning games this season did not break the record, but they were also historically winning games, 69 wins and 13 losses. This is still the situation after the Pacers' resumption. Many people think that if the Pacers do not take turns, breaking the record of 73 wins may not be a big problem.

The Celtics' victory was a huge breakthrough in the playoffs whenever they encountered the Pacers in several years. They believed that the team would use this victory to fight back all the declines in the previous two years. Pierce once again came to the Garden Arena to watch the next game.

Seeing Pierce, the biggest victim of the last "Garden Arena Massacre", appear here, I felt that the Pacers became particularly hungry. They were very good on the offensive end and took the initiative of the court from the beginning. This initiative belonged to the Pacers from the beginning.

In this game, the Pacers were much more "light" than the last time they started. They only won more than 20 points in the whole game and scored 135 points at the Celtics' home court. This season, the Celtics emphasized defense, and even Irving's defense became much better than before.

The Celtics' defense ranked in the top three in the regular season and did not lose more than 130 points in the whole season. In this game, their defense was completely broken. Pierce once again sat in the first row with a pale face and watched a game. This time Lin Sen showed mercy.

When he returned to Indiana in the fifth game, the Pacers did not give this Celtics any chance, and directly killed the Celtics who were in good shape throughout the season 4:1.

But although this Celtic team is very strong, it is only ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Otherwise, it would not have met the Pacers, a recognized devil in the semi-finals. Another round of the Eastern Conference semi-finals was duel with the Raptors who won Leonard this year and the giant evolution Antetokounmpo.

This year's Antetokounmpo has undoubtedly become Lin Sen's biggest opponent in the regular season MVP. His regular season data is excellent. The single-core Bucks scored second in the Eastern Conference and third in the league. The data is also very impressive. They have made great progress on the defensive end and scored first in the league. These are the data produced by Antetokounmpo this year, and their new coach is Budenholzer, who won 60 wins with the Hawks.

The Bucks' system and the emergence of stars have made many people sigh that single cores and a suitable system seem to be able to achieve the effect of multiple giants. This is how Lin Sen, who is the second champion of the Pacers.

However, Antetokounmpo eventually failed in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and the Raptors played very much, with Leonard's single core, Lowry, the second-in-command All-Star player, and excellent role players such as Gasol Jr., Siakam, Ibaka, and Van Vleet.

The two teams played six games in the semi-finals. At the beginning, the Bucks won two consecutive games, and the Raptors fell four straight games. The richer experience allowed the Raptors to win the final victory. At this time, the Raptors fans were quite inflated. When they drove, they were able to challenge the Pacers who swept the entire game last year.

Especially their double gates in the inside, Gasol and Ibaka's defense in the inside is overwhelming, and Leonard's clamping attacks on the outside are also excellent. In their opinion, they already have enough ability to limit Lin Sen, a superstar.

Even the media think that this round of the game will be exciting. Among the only few games Lin Sen has played poorly this season, two of them faced the Raptors. In one game, they scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. In the end, the team lost the game. This is also a surprising season. Lin Sen's rebound prophet skills have not been integrated yet. In this game, Turner happened to be injured, and Thidis Young was absent. Garlinari, who had only one rebound on the entire inside, and the result was that it was. This made all the American media that wanted Lin Sen to fall into a trough.

Now, before the Eastern Conference Finals, in such a situation where there has never been a match, the American media are very optimistic that Leonard will complete his position in this era.

The call before the game was good, but in fact, the Raptors were not that easy to play. They didn't play well in the first away game.

Lin Sen seemed to have no good way to face the Raptors' two defensive inside players in the regular season, but by this game, Lin Sen unexpectedly completely controlled the rhythm in the first half.

At the beginning, Lin Sen built an advantage in the middle distance. At the outside, Ibaka was defending Lin Sen, but Lin Sen used his full-score mid-range ability to teach Ibaka a lesson.

Ibaka was still a little shorter in the defensive height. Lin Sen took the lead in retreating from the middle distance to make this game clear from the beginning. Lin Sen punished Ibaka's defense at mid distance throughout the first game.

Ibaka's speed was no longer as good as it was after being severely injured. She was able to do it several times after being freed from Lin Sen several times. In the first game, Lin Sen scored 34 points outside the penalty area and scored 44 points in the whole game. She was a center! And Leonard didn't seem to have any chance to attack Lin Sen. The Pacers' outside line gave them enough pressure.

In the second game, the Raptors seemed to have changed their playing style. They strengthened their defense against Lin Sen on the outside, but this time, Lin Sen beat Gasol Jr. in the inside. When facing the Bucks, Gasol Jr. successfully dominated the inside and suppressed Lopez.

However, when facing Lin Sen, his defense was of little use. Lin Sen's footsteps were very good. He almost scored from the outside in the last game. This time, Lin Sen put all the offensive firepower in the inside, hooking and footsteps. Logically speaking, Gasol should be very good at it, but he met Lin Sen, a young "little hooligan"! His speed was also not as good as his injuries.

Speaking of this, the two inside players of the Raptors are really two defensive inside players who are already in their 30s. Perhaps at the peak, the two can really play a lot of restrictive roles on Lin Sen, but now, they are really not good. Speed ​​has become the biggest problem that limits Lin Sen. These two people are already experienced defensive, and use their years of experience to defend.

Lin Sen only needs a little movement to make Gasol unable to keep up with Lin Sen's rhythm. Sometimes Gasol is completely forced to face it with such defensive movements.

In the second game, Lin Sen scored 34 points in the penalty area, with 42 points and 14 rebounds in the game, defeating the Raptors 127:105.

Before the start of the game, everyone thought that even if the Raptors couldn't win the game, they could at least play a few games with the opponent. However, after the first two big scores were killed, they did not play back at all when they returned to their home court. The Pacers who arrived at the away game made the offense and scored more offensive points.

Lin Sen's 40 in the first two games completely proved that he had no pressure at all when facing the Raptors' double inside. When it was away, Lin Sen not only scored by himself, but also began to pass the ball to his teammates. His pass was extremely threatening. Garlinari scored 33 points in one game and Oladipo scored 31 points in one game. These two 30s directly led the Pacers to win this round of the series.

No one expected that such an Eastern Conference Final would end with a 4:0 score. The Raptors' competitiveness exists. This year's call for winning the championship ranks in the top three. It is considered to be the team with the most chance to pull the Pacers' throne down in the East. However, the throne was not pulled down, but the opponent was beaten to a 4:0.

The finals are still the familiar Bu Yong battle, and this time, the Warriors may be more uncomfortable than last year. The most important thing is that Durant's injury has turned this battle of revenge that was originally the Warriors into a game with basically no suspense.

This is the Warriors in 2016. They don’t have the more important player Barnes, which means they may not be as strong as the Warriors in 2016.

Except for the explosive game between Curry and Thompson, the Warriors won the game with a very difficult time of 114:107. This last few minutes, and they had to rely on Lin Sen's poor touch to "only" scored 27 points, otherwise the Warriors might not be able to win this game.

But this was their only victory. After that, the Pacers easily won the next game and achieved a dynasty with three consecutive championships. As the builder of the dynasty, Lin Sen became one of the greatest centers in history at this time, and for him, the three consecutive championships were just a just beginning career for the 22-year-old.

Center glory, these things have been restored to this foreign center for Americans. After these three consecutive championships, a wave of resistance against Lin appeared in the entire league. Everyone was thinking about completing revenge for Lin Sen at this time.

Lin Sen did not complete four consecutive championships. In the next round, the Pacers did not maintain their three consecutive championships. Garlinari's two-year contract expired. Lin Sen's best inside partner won a contract close to the maximum salary to retire. Bogdanovic also won a big contract. This quasi-All-star is unlikely to continue to win with 10 million US dollars, and another team gave him a bigger contract and better core treatment.
