NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The Indiana Pacers are now in a state of panic.

1　With the collective aging of the Pacers players, the old guys who fought in the East with their fierceness have gradually felt powerless.

The Boston Celtics kept hitting the iron on the offensive end and could not defend on the defensive end. From the first second of the game, the Indiana Pacers were playing hard, and until the end of the game, the Pacers still had no way to narrow the score to within 20 points!

The 20-point gap is the best proof of the gap in strength between the Pacers and the Celtics!

At the end of the game, Reggie Miller still got 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist, raising his score to 20 points again!

It was considered to have reached the passing line for this year's playoffs, but the passing score alone could not save the team from the bad luck of missing shots!

End of the game!

Han Yi scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 10 blocks, an alternative double-double!

Behind the cold ink word of 10 blocks, there is a small microcosm of the tragic fate of the entire Pacers shooting team tonight.

It was blocked miserably, it was really blocked too miserably!

Every shot was blocked, every shot was blocked, and in the end, some Pacers dared not shoot, but Chris Mullin, who had seen big scenes and had many honors, was not afraid and dared to fight.

Then he was blocked by Han Yi four times, and he only scored 4 points in the whole game.

Shoot the hardest ball and get the most vicious hit!

Mullin used to be a flying player and one of the most athletic guys on the court. Now, he has really become an old guy.

When Mullin found that his shot was already under Han Yi's giant palm, it was too late to dodge, or it could be said that with his current reaction speed, he could not make his body react in the blink of an eye!

After this battle, Chris Mullin has begun to consider retiring next season. When he closes his eyes at night, Han Yi's slap is in his mind:

"I can't fight anymore, I really can't fight at all!"

Steve A. Smith wrote at the end of his post-match report:

"There is no doubt that the Indiana Pacers are the second best team in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Pacers can easily beat all opponents except the Celtics, but they will not have any power to fight back in front of the Celtics. This is not only the restraint of the team's style, but also the restraint of absolute strength!"

Second game! 107:90!

Han Yi only scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 11 blocks!

McGrady became the team's scoring leader, scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks!

Third game! 101:95!

Han Yi: 28 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 10 blocks!

A simple and practical block triple-double defeated the Indiana Pacers again!

In this process, the Pacers were not passively beaten, but were always actively adjusting and trying.

The Pacers gradually adapted to the Celtics' defense and played better and better. In the third game, they were even anxious with the Celtics until the last two minutes. In the end, the Celtics won the game thanks to Han Yi's dunk and a three-pointer!

But it still doesn't make sense, because the Indiana Pacers are already 0:3 behind the Boston Celtics!

Miracle?

Yes, the Indiana Pacers can only pray for the God of Miracles now!

But can the God of Miracles really come to the Pacers?

The answer is not very good. After all, even in the timeline without Han Yi, the Pacers' final fate was to be eliminated by the remnant New York Knicks who came from the black eight!

The New York Knicks were eliminated by the Celtics led by Han Yi with a score of 4:0. What's more important to you, the Pacers?

Facing the strongest bully in the past NBA, Han Yi did not indulge him:

"Larry, are you ready to be swept?"

Larry Bird stared at Han Yi with a smile on his face and chose to shut his mouth tightly, tightly!

Because no one knows better than Bird what it means to say that trouble comes from the mouth. The secret to the success of the bully is not to pretend to be unprepared!

Is it considered pretending to be a bully if you are already seeing that you are going to be swept 3:0?

No, saying this makes people feel that you are so weak!

What if you say that our Pacers are going to make a comeback?

That's just a lie! He didn't even say whether he could guarantee that he would not be swept tonight.

If he can't do it, how can he still have the face to say that he can turn the tables?

The reason why the king of pretentiousness is so awesome is that he can achieve what he pretends to be, not that he will be slapped in the face!

Of course, after being criticized by Han Yi, Larry Bird will inevitably scold his disciples for Han Yi's provocation!

In the fourth game, Reggie Miller was indeed brave after knowing his shame, and got the first 30+ in this series, and then the Pacers lost even more easily!

110:93!

The Celtics beat the Pacers again, swept the Indiana Pacers, and entered the finals!

If you ask whether the Pacers played well in the fourth game, it was really good. Not only did the main player Reggie Miller perform well, but the other players also fought hard and played an excellent game.

Then... because Han Yi got another 50+, all the efforts of the Pacers were declared in vain!

52 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 5 blocks!

Han Yi ended the Pacers' chances of getting rid of the sweep with a terrifying performance of 50 points!

After the Pacers were oppressed by Han Yi's crazy defense for three games, they all forgot that Han Yi's most terrifying thing was not defense, but offense!

In this game, Han Yi was indeed a little relaxed on the defensive end, and it was because of his relaxation that the Pacers' offense was alive, but Han Yi got all the points he didn't get in the first three games in this game!

When there were still 6 minutes left in the game, the Celtics, who had established a 24-point lead, chose to stand up and cheer for their hero Han Yi to leave the court, and Larry Bird also chose to resign two minutes later!

Then, on the second day, Larry Bird announced to the media that he would no longer serve as the head coach of the Indiana Pacers next season, and at the same time gave up all other head coaching opportunities and chose to temporarily retire to the countryside!

This really surprised Han Yi. In the original timeline, Larry Bird coached the Pacers for three seasons, and in the third season, he led the Pacers to the finals. He announced that he would no longer coach after losing to the powerful Lakers!

There is still one year left in this three-year agreement, why didn't he fulfill it?

But this thought was only a moment, because just after a day of relaxation, the San Antonio Spurs, who also defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 4:0, successfully won another spot in the finals!

The champion of the 1998-1999 watershed season with the most cut schedules in NBA history will be announced between these two!

And this will also be Han Yi's first trip to the finals in his career!
