The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chris Paul has been a high-profile genius since he entered the industry. He also lived up to expectations. In the third grade, he scored a terrible average of 21+11 per game and became the league's first-line star who can compete with Kobe Bryant for the MVP of the regular season.

Everyone thinks that Paul can make the Hornets soar, and he himself can become a player who can win the championship. However, until last season, Paul had never even played in the conference finals!

Paul, who averaged 21+11 per game in the third grade, averaged only 15+9 per game last season...

All this is "thanks" to the 09-10 season, a major injury that could change the trajectory of Paul's career. A genius died due to injury, this kind of script has long been common in the NBA.

The declining average data per game made everyone think that Paul had fallen, and people even ridiculed that Paul would never be able to play in the conference finals. Faced with pressure from all sides, Paul naturally hoped to prove himself. So he is eager to leave, eager to bring some changes to his career.

Then he came to the cornfields of Indiana. Then, for the first time in his career, he won the first place in the regular season, reached the conference finals for the first time, reached the finals, and until now...

"The game is over, Chris Paul ended the Oklahoma City Thunder with his incredible performance!"

Watching the Pacers players cheering on the court, Mike Brin's voice also became loud.

2-1, Paul returned, James Harden continued to be in a downturn...These things not only allowed the Pacers to win a game, it even gave them the capital to win the entire series!

Soon, Mike Brin received a message from eSPN. After scanning the text from the headquarters, Mike Brin's face changed drastically! Chris Paul's performance tonight, using the word "perfect" alone, is indescribable.

"Congratulations to Paul, he not only led the team to victory, but also set a record of unprecedented and very likely no one to come!" After swallowing, Mike Brin continued.

"Chris's 42 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 0 turnovers in this game not only allowed Paul to get a career high in scoring in the playoffs. This is also the fact that the statistic of turnovers began in the 1977-1978 season. The first player in history to score 40 points + 10 assists in a single game in the playoffs without turnovers! Yes, CP3 has created a new history! Paul proved himself in the crucial battle of reaching the finals for the first time in his career He is still one of the best players in the league today!" Mike Brin finished the message he had just received in one breath. This game, which was supposed to be "out of play due to injury", became Paul's by accident. Milestone night!

And the last words of Mike Brin undoubtedly paid off for Paul's hard work.

"Paul proved that he is still one of the best players in the league today."

Chris Paul, he finally caught up with the once highly anticipated self...

Paul and Henson also learned about this record when they were interviewed by reporters after the game. After all, such unpopular records require huge database support to find out.

Although unpopular, Henson was still excited when he heard the "first in history" gimmick.

"Chris has always been so good, but you underestimated him." Henson said bluntly. He never felt that a guard of Paul's level would be completely destroyed because of an injury.

Facing such a record, Paul only smiled: "It is a good thing to be able to create historical records, but the only thing I think about now is the O'Brien Cup."

It seems that this No. 3, who has never touched the floor of the Western Conference, can't wait to launch a counterattack to the world!

At the beginning of the series, it was thought that the Pacers would be swept out by the young and invincible Oklahoma City Thunder within the range of 6 to 7 games.

Henson’s view is very similar to that of most media, except that he believes that it is his Pacers who won the game in the range of 6 to 7 games.

However, the facts have proved that the speculations of both parties are not very reliable.

After Paul set a record and helped the team win the third game of the series, the Pacers did not stop their pace.

The fourth game of the series is still at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Today, Russell Westbrook is like a **** from heaven, scoring frequently on Paul.

You know, in the first three games, once Westbrook met Paul, his scoring efficiency was terrible.

But today he was incredibly efficient, hitting 20 of 32 shots, 62.5% from the field and 43 points!

What is the concept of 43 points? Paul's 42 points in the last game was already the highest score of his playoff career. And Westbrook, a young man who was only 4 years old, turned his postseason career high into 43 points.

Needless to say, you all know what a burst of scoring ability this is. Henson really admired the Thunder's draft vision. From Jeff Green to James Harden, the Oklahomaians have never wasted any draft pick.

Henson even wondered if Presti, general manager of the Thunder, also had the bonus of the data analysis module.

On the other hand, Kevin Durant also performed well in this game. He made 9 of 19 shots and scored 28 points. Throughout the series, Durant has never lost the chain in scoring. Even if Henson played with Danny Green and Leonard, Durant, who had all-round offensive skills, couldn't help it.

Henson couldn't believe it. After Durant got the dribble out of practice, what a terrible scorer he would become!

43+28, Westbrook and Durant scored 71 points together! It stands to reason that when the two youngsters of the Thunder won this type of data, the Thunder would not lose. The Thunder fans also very much hope that they will be able to turn the total score into a 2-2 tie. If the total score becomes a 2-2 tie, then the prediction before the start of the series has been fulfilled.

4 minutes before the end of the game, Chris Paul fought off with a thigh cramp. At this time, the scores of the two sides were even. Henson anxiously called the team doctor to check on Paul, and then grabbed Stephenson's shoulder: "If you dare to get a fever in your head, I will let you go this summer!"

As a result, Stephenson hit the field with a three-pointer. At the crucial moment, when Paul fell, everyone in the Pacers came forward.

"They are a perfect whole, a perfect team!" Mike Brin's evaluation will later become the label of the Pacers.

Perfect overall, perfect team.

Starting from this year's finals, the Pacers have a brand that can't be forgotten many years later.

Stephenson's three-pointer greatly boosted the Pacers' morale. After that, George and Horford scored separately, and they led the Pacers to a 7-0 offensive without Paul.

The situation immediately became unfavorable for the Thunder. If they don't want to be taken to the match point by the Pacers, they must counterattack at all costs.

However, apart from Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder didn't even score in double figures. James Harden? Don't mention it, this year's Finals is simply a stain on Harden's career.

17.3 seconds before the final, Leonard fell to the ground to save the ball and hugged Durant to form a scrimmage. Although Durant is tall and has long arms, he has advantages in all aspects. But perhaps because of being too nervous, Leonard was stunned by the basketball.

The Thunder had to foul and send Leonard to the free throw line.

Even though Leonard made only one of two free throws, the point difference is still 6 points. At the critical moment, Durant's three-pointer ended in a three-pointer under the interference of Leonard, and the Thunder lost their last chance to counterattack.

3 to 1, the Indiana Pacers are only one game away from the first championship trophy in team history! Of the three home games of the Oklahoma City Thunder, two have already been lost!

6 to 7 games? Henson admitted that he had "miscalculated" this time.

This year's finals, it is very likely that only 5 games will be completed!

Henson touched the cigar in his suit pocket, but quickly withdrew his hand.

It’s not time yet, now, it’s not time to light the Victory Cigar...
