Win 43 points, win 51 points! Go to the finals with a bumpy and bumpy championship, no suspense

The NBA Finals battle is about to begin. Although the competition between the Thunder and the Pacers is almost intriguing, neither of them is the kind of wealthy team, nor is it that old-school superstar with great status. However, this round of series will definitely be very fierce, because the pace of both teams is very fast. On one side, the Thunder is the strongest team in the league's defense, and on the other side, the Pacers are the team in the league with the sharpest offense. It can be said that the sharpest spear hits the hardest shield. Of course, to be honest, the Thunder's chances of winning are still much greater. Not only do they have good defense, but their offense is also the top-notch, with a very thick lineup depth and a MVP-level star. During the regular season, the Pacers won 50 wins while the Thunder won 68, with the two teams a total of 18 wins.

This is the biggest winning gap between the two sides in the last 44 years. In terms of championship odds, the Thunder led by -800 (Pacers are +550). The Thunder became the sixth-highest team in the history of NBA Finals. The top 5 Lakers in 2001, the Warriors in 2018, the Bulls in 2018, the Spurs in 2018, and the Lakers in 2018, all failed and won the championship that year. In terms of the 23-member ESPN expert team prediction, 20 people predicted that the Thunder would win the championship, and only 3 people felt that the Pacers could make a comeback in an upset. In addition, the two teams are also one-sided in terms of regular season record this season. The Thunder swept the Pacers 2-0. During this period, Alexander was in a state of great shape, averaging 39 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 55.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 63.6%.

All data indicators seem to show that the Thunder can easily crush the Pacers to win the championship. This season, they did play a historical dominance. While they achieved 68 wins in the regular season, they averaged 12.87 points per game, ranking first in history. In the playoffs, the Thunder can still continue their hot state, with averaging more than 10 points per game, and defeating their opponents with huge scores many times. In the first round of the first game against the Grizzlies, they defeated their opponents by 51 points, setting a record for the largest score difference in the first game of the NBA's playoffs in history. In the second round of the Nuggets, they defeated their opponents by 43 points, scoring 149 points in the game, and not taking the Nuggets' defense seriously. In the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder also did not give any chance, defeated their opponent by 30 points, and sent the Timberwolves home to fish.

Judging from the performance on the court, the Thunder have always taken the initiative in the first three rounds of the playoffs. Although the Nuggets gave them a lot of pressure in the second round and delayed the series to tiebreak, in that round of the series, the Thunder led the Nuggets as much as twice the time the Nuggets led the Thunder. The Thunder basically won big wins, and the losing ones were basically lost. Even though the Nuggets are the 23-year champion, have the first active combat power like Jokic, and have super-extraordinary role players, Gordon and Westbrook, they still have no choice but to play the Thunder, which can only show that the Thunder is too powerful. Although there are only two All-Star players, they have a tacit cooperation overall, have clear division of labor, everyone has the ability to attack independently, and they are full of physical fitness. They are all very strong and have full confrontation, and they have all the conditions to win the championship.

Of course, this year's playoffs, the Thunder did not go smoothly. They almost became public enemies of the league. Just like in the first round of the Grizzlies G3 game, Thunder defender Dort injured the opponent's star Morant, and once became the target of public criticism. After all, Dolte was dirty again and again. He had injured stars like Ingram and George before, which also made the entire Thunder team wear a "dirty" hat. Fortunately, Dort later controlled his hands and feet and no longer showed malicious invasion. The Thunder proved that their tough defense was not achieved by "dirty". In addition, in the G1 match against the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, the referee called one-sidedly and completely favored the Thunder. He gave Alexander a lot of whistles and asked him to stand on the free throw line to score, which also caused dissatisfaction among neutral fans.

I think the alliance just wants to promote Thunder, deliberately slandering the punishment, and want to create the god Alexander. However, in the following games, the referee's call was fair and just, and the Timberwolves could not beat him. Alexander could still score 30+ high scores, perform efficiently, and score at critical moments, crushing the opponent's star Edwards, and SGA also proved that his MVP was not a flaw. Although I experienced some small episodes along the way in the playoffs, the Thunder were finally able to resolve them in time and prove their true strength. A sprinting victory of 43 points and a 51-point victory! The championship is no longer suspense after reaching the finals. Until now this year's playoffs, the Thunder lost only one game at home, which was the first game of the second round, and was tied by Nuggets Gordon to overtime. At the Thunder's Devil's home court, do the Pacers have a chance to win a surprise victory?
