Chapter 673 Advance to the Eastern Conference Finals
"The Pistons have failed to score for four consecutive offenses. If no one stands up, today's game may end like this."

When the game entered the second half of the fourth quarter, the Pistons not only failed to overtake the score, but also fell into a scoring drought because of the decline in Chauncey Billups' physical fitness who had been leading the offense before, and was taken by the Pacers. The point difference has been widened, and this point difference is still being continuously expanded.

From the beginning of the second half of this game, Chauncey Billups seemed to explode suddenly, not to mention Tony Allen who was facing him, even Meng Xu couldn't restrain him, so in Chauncey Billups - Driven by Billups, the Pistons have always been biting the score tightly, but this way of playing is very energy-consuming. Before the fourth quarter is halfway through, Billups' physical strength has problems , as Billups' physical strength is exhausted, the Pistons' offense naturally has problems.

"I really didn't expect this round of the series to end like this!" With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the game was already decided, but the result was obviously beyond everyone's expectations In addition, although the Pacers are the first in the league this season, the Pistons' record is also ranked second in the Eastern Conference. In the four regular season duels, both sides also won two home games, so in the pre-match evaluation, almost Everyone thinks that the Pacers and the Pistons will have to play at least six games to decide the outcome, because although the Pacers have a slight advantage in strength, overall, the two sides are basically evenly matched. Who would have thought that the Pacers only needed four games? The game settled for the Pistons.

"Congratulations to the Pacers for winning this game and for being the first team to advance to the Conference Finals."

The whistle sounded for the end of the game, and the Pacers players on the bench on the sidelines rushed into the center of the court in a swarm and began to celebrate unscrupulously. For them, for all the Pacers who experienced the Eastern Conference finals last season For the players, knocking out the Pistons in this way undoubtedly made them feel bad.

While his teammates cheered and celebrated wildly around Meng Xu, Meng Xu took a look at Billups and Hamilton who were sitting on the sidelines with their backs leaning on the billboard. Billups' performance today really impressed Meng Xu , From the beginning of the Spurs to the Pacers, Meng Xu has the upper hand almost every time he faces Billups. Same with Billups.

When Meng Xu looked at Billups, Billups also turned his attention to the Pacers players who were celebrating wildly, especially Meng Xu, who was surrounded by a large group of people. Today's game, Billups Puth has tried his best. With his teammates unable to trust and rely on him, Billups ignored the team's tactics for the first time and wanted to rely on his personal ability to save the Pistons. However, he failed in the end, so Billups Si is somewhat disappointed and unwilling now. Although he didn't show too much expression on his face, the eyes he looked at Meng Xu still betrayed him.

As the No. [-] pick in the same class as Tim Duncan, Chauncey Billups should have had a Sunshine Avenue, but in his rookie season, Chauncey Billups was traded. In the following seasons, Billups moved to the Raptors, Nuggets, Magic and many other teams, and finally gained a foothold in the Timberwolves, but in the game against the Spurs, he was blown away by Meng Xu, who was still a sophomore at the time, and lost The main position, in the playoffs, Billups was blown away by Meng Xu again, although Billups always wanted to get rid of the shame and help the Timberwolves beat the Spurs, but after that round of the series, he He lost the trust of the team, so that after his contract ended, the Timberwolves directly abandoned him. After he joined the Pistons, Meng Xu's Pacers became a mountain in front of him again. I know, if I continue to fail like this, can I still bring up the courage to confront Meng Xu again.

Hamilton, who was sitting on the sidelines with Billups, was also looking at the court with his head tilted, looking at those familiar and unfamiliar people, former teammates, and current opponents. He didn't know what was going on in his mind.

. . . . . .

"The Pacers swept the Pistons and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals first!"

"It was 4 to 0 again. The Pacers swept their opponents in two consecutive rounds! The sword pointed to the championship!"

As the only team that advanced to the division finals after the four rounds, the Pacers are now undoubtedly the focus of all teams participating in the semifinals. The Pistons are not a weak team like the Bulls. The game between No. [-] and No. [-] in the East is not an exaggeration to say that it was the conference finals, so after the Pacers eliminated the Pistons, a wave of public opinion praising the Pacers suddenly emerged.

"The championship? The Eastern Conference finals haven't even started yet. Is it too early to think about the championship? Besides, whether the Pacers can win the Eastern Conference finals is still unknown. The Nets and Heat are not weaker than the Pistons at all. Neither the Nets nor the Heat have as obvious shortcomings as the Pistons. Shaq and Vince are both players at the same level as Meng Xu."

As a media that has blackened Meng Xu and the Pacers, as long as there is public opinion that praises Meng Xu and the Pacers, the New York Times will inevitably jump out and sing the opposite. After the Pistons were swept out by the Pacers, they put their hopes on it. On the Nets and Heat in the finals, while belittling the Pacers, they touted the Heat and the Nets. What is certain is that no matter which of these two teams advances to the finals, the media in New York will cheer for them. They can successfully snipe walkers.

It’s just that no matter how loud the New York Times is, neither the Nets nor the Heat have stood up to them, because in the case of a big score of 2 to 2, neither the Nets nor the Heat have any extra energy to deal with irrelevant At least before the end of this round of the series, they will not jump out to provoke Meng Xu and the Pacers as the New York Times wishes. It's embarrassing not to even make it to the finals.

Like the game between the Heat and the Nets, the two Western Conference duels are now inextricably tied. After four games, the Mavericks and Spurs, the Clippers and the Suns are all tied 2-2.
