Chapter 209 NBA finale?
Except for DPOY and regular season MVP, all major awards of the season have basically been announced.

Lin Yu also had a great harvest!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Join the 180 Club! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Becoming the top scorer! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Won the Best Rookie! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Received the best lineup! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement! Received the best defensive lineup! ]

Five achievements!

That corresponds to five rewards!
Lin Yu could say it very bluntly.

The NBA finale is here!

Without any hesitation, Lin Yu chose to check Curry's skills first.

[Unlimited shooting range: Increases long-range shooting accuracy by 10%. The farther from the basket, the higher the accuracy! ]

Without any hesitation, Lin Yu directly chose this skill.

[Ding! Congratulations on quickly acquiring Stephen Curry's skill! Unlimited shooting range! ]

With 'unlimited range', Lin Yu can also try LOGO three-pointer.

Lin Yu also quickly chose the second skill.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining James Harden's skills! Left-handed general! ]

[Ding! The host is detected to be used to shooting with the right hand, and after fusion, a new skill of shooting with both hands is generated! ]

[Ambidextrous: The hit rate is the same when shooting, dribbling, or lobs with both hands! ]

Lin Yu himself is good at shooting with his right hand, and because of his outstanding physical talent, he was not successfully targeted.

But after the playoffs, some things are hard to say.

As the season progresses, the standards for penalties become increasingly relaxed. If Lin Yu cannot shoot with his left hand, he may be targeted.

After selecting two system rewards, Lin Yu immediately began to hesitate about the next reward.

At this time in the American Airlines Arena, the first round was completely over.

The series between the Mavericks and the Rockets can be regarded as the most exciting showdown in the first round.

After being defeated by the Rockets in the first two games, the Mavericks then tied the score.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, both sides fought hard.

Although the veteran player did not perform well against McGrady's defense, he made a key mid-range shot in the last 20 seconds of the game.

Helped the Mavericks beat the Rockets 103:100.

In the sixth game of the series, the Rockets returned to their home court and defeated the Mavericks 101:87, dragging the series into a seventh game.

In the seventh game, the Yao-McGrady duo scored a combined 60 points, while the Rockets as a whole scored 76 points.

This is crazy...

In the end, relying on excellent rotation, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 116:76.

McGrady was eliminated in the first round again.

Mac's first round is confirmed!
The Eastern and Western Conference semifinals are now officially announced.

Eastern Conference: Celtics vs. Pacers.

Heat vs. Pistons.

West: Suns vs. Timberwolves.

Spurs vs. Mavericks.

Before the game started, Rivers also explained the Pacers' tactics to everyone.

"After the Pacers made some reinforcements, they still centered around Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest, but in the latter part of the season, they actually adopted a style of play in which everyone was a soldier."

"Since Jamal Magloire joined, Reggie Miller has completely moved to the bench."

"Stephen Jackson has joined the starting lineup. Except for Jamal Magloire, four of the five starting players can attack with the ball." "Under the command of Gary Payton, the Pacers' offense is not only a team effort, but also very efficient..."

Following Rivers' explanation, Lin Yu now has some understanding of the Pacers' tactics.

Although the two teams played against each other at the end of the regular season, it was just a regular season game after all. And in that game, Artest was a failure after all.

The reference value is not particularly great.

The Pacers themselves traded for Jamaal Magloire late in the season, and then the team's tactics changed again.

Although it is still mainly a traditional positional battle, the four starting players all have the ability to attack with the ball.

Although Payton is old, he still has the ability to break through with the ball in the low post and after the pick-and-roll.

Although Wu Sheng, Artest and O'Neal Jr. are good at attacking with the ball, they are definitely not at the level of the league's top superstars.

But the three of them are all All-Star level when handling the ball.

The most important thing is that not all teams can field a defensive front line stalwart who can defend three people!
When facing a team with weaker defense, such as the Pistons, the No. 2 player is Hamilton who is not good at one-on-one defense.

The Pacers can give full play to their advantages.

He can attack the opponent's weak point when holding the ball and none of the starters are defensive loopholes.

Such a Pacers is definitely a tough nut to crack in the East!

Before the game started, even Lin Yu felt a little pressure this time.

Compared to the weak Knicks, the Pacers are much stronger!
Although the Pacers still have a series of problems such as not much improvement in key balls and O'Neal's light weight and inability to defend Lin Yu.

But in terms of strength, it is also a real championship-level team!
5 month 9 day.

Accompanied by Ainge, the Cardinal also came to the North Shore Garden to watch the game after a long absence.

Looking at O'Neal, Wu Sheng and others warming up on the court, he nodded involuntarily.

"Is this the team Larry built? It looks good, but not as good as the Celtics!"

For a moment, Ainge didn't know whether the Cardinal was praising the Celtics or exaggerating Bird.

But he didn't think much about it because the game was about to begin.

"Hello, everyone watching TV!"

"I'm Coach Zhang! I'm Yu Jia!"

"Today we will commentate on the Celtics vs. Pacers game for you."

"The Pacers are very strong. They were the No. 1 team in the league last year and are also a favorite to win the championship this year. I'm afraid it will be a tough battle for Dayu!"

As Coach Zhang's voice came out from the TV, the warm-up was over.

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Lin Yu, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Battier, point guard Tony.

The Pacers' starting lineup: center Jamaal Magloire, power forward O'Neal, small forward Artest, shooting guard Wu Sheng, and point guard Payton.

With Jamal Magloire's successful jump ball, the game officially began.

Payton held the ball at the top of the arc and began to organize the offense.

Tony was not polite at all when facing the veteran Payton.

Biting old Payton madly.

After all, Payton was a veteran who had been through many battles. He didn't care about Tony's biting and made a ground pass to Wu Sheng.

Although Wu Sheng had never been selected to the All-Star Game during his career, he was still a player who could average 20+ points per game during the peak of his career.

In the original history, Wu Sheng averaged 18.7 points, 2.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Pacers this season, with a shooting percentage of 40.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 36%.

Low efficiency is also an important problem that prevents Wu Sheng from becoming an All-Star player.

This season, because the Pacers did not have the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, Payton and Artest scored points in the Warriors' shooting, which decreased significantly.

The data is naturally not as good as the original history.

But the strength is still good.

But the player defending Wu Sheng at this time was Battier!
