The 5 most surprising teams in the playoffs: Lakers are overrated, Pacers are hitting the road

On June 2, because the East and West Finals have been played, the league has also ushered in a short period of calm. The NBA Finals will start in the No. 6 NBA Finals. It is hard to say who can laugh to the end of the game between the two small ball markets. However, the two teams have a very similar style and are probably very good at viewing. In the playoffs this season, it can be said that something unexpected happened to many fans, such as some optimistic teams upset and some disadvantaged teams upset. Next, we will take a look at the five most surprising teams. The Pacers are really surprising to see the results that they can play in. After all, they have not been favored since the first game of the series. They swept the Bucks in the first round against the Bucks, but the outside world thinks they are lucky, after all, Lillard is injured. The second round of the game against the Cavaliers was not favored, but they still swept the opponent by the gentleman. They were the first in the Eastern Conference with 64 wins. In the division final, facing the Knicks who eliminated the Celtics, the outside world was not optimistic about the Pacers, but they eliminated the Knicks 4-2 and entered the finals.

The Pacers were able to succeed in the game, because many of their players performed well, Sika, Turner, and Halliburton all performed as if the stars were due to their performances. The double-in-one combination also played the level of a top blue-collar worker. Their coach Carlisle's on-the-spot adjustment ability and tactical arrangement were both top-notch. Carlisle will probably get more recognition after playing this season. Can they still be used as a low-dog low-kick in the next round?

Nuggets

Although the Nuggets entered the playoffs with fourth place in the West, they were not optimistic in the first round because the Nuggets' lineup was too poor, and their opponents had two former top stars, Harden and Leonard. After the All-Star, both of them had the level of dreaming of returning to the peak, so it was reasonable that the Nuggets were not optimistic. As a result, Jokic led the team with his outstanding personal ability to do it and faced the Thunder, the No. 1 in the West in the second round.

The opponent is a powerful man with 68 wins. At that time, the outside world did not expect the Nuggets to be able to play with them until the tiebreak. As a result, Jokic and their main players competed the most. The team often had a rotation of 7 people. Although they lost, they could leave the team with their heads held high because they were the only ones who forced the Thunder into a desperate situation so far in the playoffs. Alexander is the MVP of this season, but Jokic is the strongest player in active service, which is undisputed.

Lakers

Before the start of the playoffs, many fans were optimistic that the Lakers could win the championship because they had a three-core offense that could not be restricted. Even without a center, they were optimistic that they could win the championship. As a result, they were swept out by the gentleman in the first round. The three-core is indeed powerful, but the problem is that there is no inside defense and it was beaten by Randall and Gobert. No matter how powerful your offense is, if you don’t have a defense, it will be difficult to win.

The Lakers' three-core offense is indeed strong. Doncic's singles ability is now the top-notch league, but the deformed lineup is doomed to fail. There is no team that is not defensive in history to succeed. After losing the series, Pelinka also decided to introduce a suitable center in the offseason. They intend to continue to build a team around Zhan Dongli, but to be honest, the defense of Doncic and Xiaoli is too useless.

Timberwolves

Timberwolves were not optimistic since the first round of the series. Before the playoffs, many famous speakers had already given their views. "The Lakers are likely to end the battle in 6 games, because Gobert will be named." As a result, the Lakers were swept by them by the gentleman, and they were not optimistic about the Warriors in the second round. After all, the Warriors' paper strength looks even better. To be honest, if Curry was not injured, the Timberwolves would be difficult to play in this round of the series.

After all, the Warriors' space is too wide, and they have dreams to guard the inside, which can limit the Timberwolves' insiders to a certain extent. As a result, Curry was injured and the Timberwolves directly swept the Warriors by a gentleman. Curry had stated that G6 would return, but he failed to wait for his return, and the Warriors were eliminated. The Timberwolves' lineup was very outstanding. Facing the Thunder in the division final, he thought they could win two games, but the dual cores were defeated. It is also surprising that the Knicks can reach the division final. After all, they experienced a fierce battle in the first round and met the defending champion in the second round. They were not optimistic about the Knicks being able to defeat the Thunder. After all, the Knicks did not beat the Celtics in a single game in the regular season. The Celtics once established a 20-point lead in the first round of the series, but were magically reversed by the Knicks. This was the case again in the second round. They played too slackened, which resulted in the Knicks taking the lead.

The Celtics won a game with all firepower in the third game, but Tatum was injured in the fourth quarter, which also allowed the Knicks to seize the opportunity to defeat their opponents. To be honest, many fans are worried about the health of the Knicks core members. After all, they have been dead and the probability of being injured in the playoffs is very high. The Knicks' core players finally played healthy throughout the season, and Thibodeau seemed to have changed. He began to increase rotation. Will Thibodeau really give up the Five Donkeys tactic in the future?
