#Thunder 2-2 Pacers#After watching today's game, I suddenly thought of an ancient topic, the so-called "defense wins the championship."

Let's not discuss whether this theory is correct in the previous NBA environment. We will only discuss whether the defense wins the championship in the current NBA environment, or in other words, in an environment closer to the modern NBA space, is it right to defend and win the championship.

Judging from the NBA Finals in recent years, it seems that the importance of defense is getting lower and lower, or in other words, the possibility of really defending and killing opponents is getting lower and lower.

Going forward, from the championship since 2010, almost all the ones who performed stronger offensively in the finals, such as the 2011 Mavericks' projection explosion, the 2014 Spurs' pass and cut projection system, and then to the unsolvable attack of the Universe Yongshuishui Splash KD, and the Celtics' invincible five-shooting space last year,

and then to the four games of this year's finals.

It seems that the Pacers are not afraid of the Thunder's defense replacement, and the Thunder has never been able to limit the Pacers' attack.

Even if you say that the Thunder won by defense in the last 3 minutes of G4 today, I want to refute you two points.

First, have you really defended the Pacers? I don't think it's more because the Pacers' offense is powered off. The round after Harry misaligned and scored is more obvious. Harry, Nembhard and Turner were disrupted at the top of the circle. I don't know what to do, rather than how good the Thunder defended in that round;

Second, without the SGA's 7-point chase, the so-called defensive winning situation in the final stage would no longer exist.

So back to the original question, "winning the championship with defense" has become a false proposition. I think the overall offensive ceiling is too high now. In the past, everyone had defenses from A or even S. When you attacked from A or S, you could lock your opponents by relying on individual defensive rounds or continuous defensive rounds.

But now everyone is attacking from SSS. In any case, the defense is a passive side. When the opponent's offense cap is high enough, it is almost impossible for you to lock the opponent in defense.

So in the current NBA, it seems that as long as you have almost reasonable defense (don't be penetrated by tens of thousands of people like the Wizards), and then with a strong enough offense, you are the one who has reached the end.

or above.
