After the Warriors advanced to the Western Conference Finals, in the remaining three series, the matchup between the Heat and the Pacers soared and attracted much attention.

The Bulls have already led the Knicks by a big score of 3:2, and the advantage is obvious. In the two games they lost, the Knicks relied on Anthony's explosion to barely win the game. There is not much suspense about winning the series.

The game between the Spurs and the Thunder also showed a one-sided trend. Westbrook was accidentally injured in the first round of the series against the Lakers in G2, and the meniscus in his right knee was torn. He has undergone surgical treatment and is reimbursed for the season.

After Westbrook was injured, the Thunder still defeated the Lakers and advanced to the second round. However, the Spurs are not the chaotic Lakers. The wily Popovich did not give the Thunder, who lacked one of the dual cores, a chance. They chased hard and scored a big score With a 3:1 lead, the Western Conference finals are in sight.

There is no suspense in the remaining two rounds of the series, and the Heat are the focus of attention.

On May 5, amidst all the attention, the Heat and the Pacers ushered in the coach of the Tianwangshan battle. This crucial battle will determine who gets the match point and has a huge impact on the direction of the series.

After a fierce battle, the Heat defeated the Pacers 90:79 and won the game.

詹姆斯的发挥非常出色，他出战44分钟，26投13中，三分7中3，罚球4中1，砍下30分8篮板6助攻2抢断1封盖。

Although James' efficiency is not high, his scoring accounted for one-third of the Heat's scoring, and he also made outstanding contributions on the defensive end, which is the biggest contributor to the Heat's win.

But Paul George did not give up. He also played 44 minutes, 19 of 11 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. James fought against each other without losing the slightest disadvantage.

But the Pacers' offense is not as good as the Big Three's Heat after all. The Pacers team only had 11 assists, and almost all of their scoring relied on individual singles.

Although Wade and Bosh did not score much, they attracted the Pacers' defensive attention and created opportunities for Chalmers and Haslem. Four of the Heat scored in double figures.

Although the Pacers have an advantage in the interior, Hibbert scored 22 points and David West scored 17 points, but outside of the three, the Pacers had no one to score. In the third quarter, the Heat beat a 30:13 The super wave of attacks never managed to bring the situation back.

The victory in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain has made the Heat's situation much better. They hold the match point and only need one victory to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the Pacers are not without a chance. The two teams in G6 will return to the Pacers' home court. As long as the Pacers hold the home court, they can drag the game into the tiebreaker and still have a chance.

On May 5, the Heat and the Pacers played their sixth game at the Bankers Life Arena.

Prior to this, the Bulls had already won the sixth game of the series, eliminated the Knicks with a big score of 4:2, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals first.

Anthony did not break out in G6, the Bulls relied on excellent defense and beat the Knicks away.

But the Knicks fans are satisfied. After Anthony came to the Knicks, the Knicks first made the playoffs and then the Eastern Conference semifinals. One step a year, they believe that the future of the team is infinitely bright.

The game between the Thunder and the Spurs is also over. The Spurs eliminated the Thunder 4:1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. They will have their first match against the Warriors on May 5.

杜兰特已经倾尽了全力，他在第二轮中场均出战45.8分钟，打出了31.5分10.8篮板6.9助攻1.2抢断1.2封盖的超级表现。

But two punches are hard to beat six hands, and none of the GDP combination scored 20 points, but the three of them worked together to completely control the situation. Durant's scoring was more like struggling and could not reverse the overall situation.

As a result, only the Heat and the Pacers have yet to decide the outcome, and everyone's eyes are on this game.

At the Pacers' home court, the Heat did not end the series as they wished. The Pacers team was united and grabbed 53 rebounds in this game, 20 more than the Heat. The offensive rebounds were even more terrifying. He dominated the game with 14 rebounds, and finally defeated the Heat 91:77, tying the big score to 3:3.

Immediately after the game, the wave of public opinion surged.

The Pacers' most promising star is Paul George, who is still executing his rookie contract, and it is this rookie who temporarily replaced Granger's position, but he can not lose the wind in the confrontation with James.

这场比赛，詹姆斯砍下了29分7篮板6助攻2抢断1封盖，保罗-乔治砍下28分8篮板5助攻3抢断，和詹姆斯直接对位，在攻防两端的表现却一点也不亚于詹姆斯。

This made Paul George famous. Previously, Paul George gave people the impression that he was just a new striker with full potential, but now, he can lead the team to seven games against the Big Three Heat and not lose against James. Top striker.

Although James' performance in this round of the series is very good, but the delay in winning the Pacers still caused him to attract a lot of criticism and doubts.

There is also a saying that quickly spread on the Internet. Curry won the confrontation with Paul, so he is the MVP, and James can't even handle a fledgling Paul George, so he is only the second MVP.

This statement is very far-fetched. The Warriors have an all-round advantage over the Clippers, while the Heat mainly lose in the weakness of the interior.

But with the Warriors advancing to the Western Conference Finals and the Heat in the quagmire, fans have a high degree of acceptance of this statement. Few people analyze the differences between the two sets of matchups in detail. The team wins, and it is difficult for James to lead the team to win. Only such simple logic can be understood by them.

On May 5, the Heat and the Pacers ushered in their final contest.

The ratings of this game have reached the peak of this year's playoffs. It is generally believed that the result of this game will not only determine the last place to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but also determine the fate of the Heat's Big Three.

The failure of the finals for two consecutive years has already brought tremendous pressure to the Big Three. If they fall directly to the Eastern Conference semifinals in the third year, then the disintegration of the Heat will be close at hand.

Many people are holding the mentality of eating melons and watching the show, paying close attention to this game that may be the last dance of the era of the Heat's Big Three.

However, people did not see a fierce and exciting tiebreaker. The Heat defeated the Pacers 99:76 in a jaw-dropping way.

In such a much-anticipated tie-breaker, the Heat team scored 38 free throws, of which James scored 16 free throws alone, while the Pacers team only scored 20 free throws and hit 14 of them. One, James hit 15 free throws alone, more points than the entire Pacers team!
In the previous six games, James scored the most free throws, but only 8, and no game scored more than 7 free throws.

Including the 16 free throws in the tie-break, James averaged only 7.7 free throws per game in this round of the series, and his average free throws per game were only 6 points.

In other words, in the previous six games, James did not break through the Pacers' defense, and did not cause any damage to the Pacers' inside defense. But in this crucial tiebreaker, at the American Airlines Center, the home of the Heat, James suddenly Like a god, he broke through the Pacers' penalty area defense, scored 16 free throws, and led the team to victory.

But outside of free throws, James made 46 percent of his two-pointers in the tie-break, and made 15 of 7 shots, including his shots at the basket. He was not very efficient, which was the average level of the previous six games.

What's even more bizarre is that Paul George, who shined in the previous two games and performed better and better, only played 34 minutes in the tiebreaker, received his sixth foul and was sent off.

The Pacers, who have lost their core star, are still very tenacious in their fighting spirit and are still stubbornly resisting in the fourth quarter. However, the Heat scored 14 free throws in the fourth quarter, 11 more than the Pacers. There is no chance for the Pacers to comeback.

But even so, the Pacers still scored 21:23 in the fourth quarter, facing the lack of core stars and 11 free throws behind, and they couldn't compete with the Heat.

In the post-match interview, Vogel, Paul George, and West were very emotional, risking fines, and bluntly said that the referee whistled unfairly.

There was also an uproar on the Internet immediately. Pacers star Reggie Miller scolded in the commentary booth of TNT:

"The referees ruined what should have been an amazing game! Their calls are shit! Paul and Roy have no problem defending James. They have been so defensive in the previous six games. Why this time? The game was called a foul? Many of their fouls are inexplicable! And Paul actually received 6 fouls, which is ridiculous! He was at a loss in the face of frequent fouls and lost his rhythm, otherwise the Pacers would not have lost So miserable, this is a disgraceful game, the referee is simply committing a crime!"

Reggie Miller couldn't contain his anger, because the Pacers played too aggrieved.

As a defense-oriented team, the referee's whistle severely limited the performance of the Pacers. Vogel frequently appealed to the referee on the sidelines, but to no avail. Instead, the referee intensified and directly sent Paul George off. , In the fourth quarter, the Pacers blew more fouls, almost walking the Heat to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Many media also slammed the referee's call. Although the Pacers lost the game, they were sympathetic. Pacers fans were outraged.

Mark Baum was also on the phone with Zhang Yu, scolding the referee very excitedly, feeling aggrieved for the Pacers, and finally asked Zhang Yu to assure him that if he meets the Heat in the finals, he must beat the Heat to death , as long as the Warriors can win the Heat, he will invite the Warriors to go on vacation just like last year, but this time the destination is changed to Hawaii, and Zhang Yu can only accept it with a wry smile.

James, who scored 16 free throws in the tie-break, was also pushed to the forefront.

虽然ESPN等媒体对詹姆斯32分8篮板4助攻2抢断1封盖的表现大加称赞，但也有《今日美国》等媒体，质疑詹姆斯的16个罚球里，有多少个是不应该获得的。

The fans also have a steelyard in their hearts. Except for the Heat fans, everyone else scoffed at the Heat's victory.

The ugliness of this game is really heinous. Paul George has never been a player who fouls a lot. In the previous six games, his most fouled game was only 4 fouls. He was sent off for 6 fouls.

By doing this, the referee is clearly showing favoritism to the Heat. The league wants the Heat to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and maintains the ratings, which is clearly revealed.

Fans want to watch the stars, but they also want fairness. The league's blatant approach has aroused public outrage. Many people went to the NBA's official social media account to condemn the referee's actions in this game.

But the league was unmoved by this, and did not express anything, and did not intend to investigate or punish the referee at all.

Joke, the league has been doing this kind of thing before, and it will continue to do this kind of thing in the future. This time, it just went too far. Whoever makes the Heat's Big Three can't even solve a Pacer will affect the ratings. Rate, can the alliance not make a move?
So what if the fans are dissatisfied?Not only will the league not apologize, but it will also punish Vogel, Paul George and West who complained about the referee. Otherwise, it is not enough to maintain the majesty of the league!

The next day, league officials announced a fine for the three of Vogel and warned them for complaining about the penalty.

The alliance's attitude was so tough that the Pacers didn't dare to complain anymore, so they had no choice but to accept the punishment.

But the sufferer shut up, and the others couldn't make much noise. The media made a fuss for a while, and the fans made a fuss for a while, but in the end they could only let it go.

However, this game will not be forgotten, and how the Heat won the Pacers will not be forgotten.

Especially after the vigorous publicity of some media, the screenshots of the free throw comparison between James alone and the Pacers team have been widely circulated on the Internet and seen by many people.

The debate between Curry and James about the MVP also came to an end after this absurd game.

Although they all advanced to the conference finals, Curry defeated the Clippers in a devastating manner, and James relied on a controversial 16 free throws to tie the game and passed the dangerous level.

The public opinion war triggered by Curry's MVP has also come to an end for the time being. Nike does not want to go against the trend, and Zhang Yu does not want to spend a lot of public relations expenses all the time, just to gain an advantage in public opinion.

The game will not lie, the championship trophy is the most convincing thing, the next public opinion war will start again when Curry and James meet in the finals.
