Chapter 675
"The Pacers are very strong. They swept their opponents in the first two rounds, but we will not be afraid of any opponent, especially the Pacers. Our matchup with the Pacers in the regular season has proved this point. And we also have the most dominant big man in the league, Shaq O'Neal, with him, we can beat anyone."

"Meng? He is very strong. He is the best perimeter player in the league right now. The Pacers also played very easily in the first two rounds. But, man, believe me, they will not be easy in the Eastern Conference finals, because they will Meet me, the strongest insider in this league, the omnipotent superman, and the big shark that devours everything."

After the Heat eliminated the Nets and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals, they couldn't wait to declare war on the Pacers. From the head coach Pat Riley to Shaq O'Neal, when they were interviewed by reporters, they all unceremoniously pointed the finger at the If he killed a walker, he would not give up until he killed the walker.

Due to the special ranking rules of this season, the Heat finally did not have to meet the Pistons in the playoffs. Therefore, after eliminating the Nets 4-2, the Heat finally reached the stage of the conference finals again after a lapse of 9 years , the Pacers, the Heat, and the Pistons, these three teams are the three strongest teams in the Eastern Conference in recent seasons, and the relationship between these three teams is also very subtle, basically can be summarized as the Heat Restrain the Pacers, the Pacers restrain the Pistons, and the Pistons restrain the Heat.

In recent seasons, whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, except for the accidental factors in the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Pistons have always lost more than they won against the Pacers, but the Pistons have won more than lost against the Heat. Few, and the Pacers played extremely hard against the Heat. Even in the season when the Pacers won 74 wins, they did not take advantage of the Heat, so the Heat still have a lot of interest in this Eastern Conference Finals. Confident, in their hearts, as long as they don't play the Pistons, the rest of the Eastern Conference teams are not enough for them to play, especially Shaquille O'Neal, who expressed confidence that the Pacers are nothing to be afraid of.

. . . . . .

"That big fat man is really too arrogant, Jermaine, we must teach him a lesson today."

"Yes, Jermaine, fuck him, fuck him hard, let him know who is the boss of this alliance."

"Jermaine, your chance has come, that fat shark is on the chopping board waiting for you to kill him!"

On May 2006, 5, just after the tiebreaker between the Spurs and the Mavericks, the Eastern Conference finals between the Pacers and the Heat took place. It can be seen that the atmosphere of the Pacers is still very good, and the game is about to start At that time, everyone still had time to make jokes about Jermaine O'Neal.

Punching Duncan, kicking O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal's ideal is now well known in the Pacers. Duncan has no chance this season, because in yesterday's tiebreaker, the Spurs added Losing to the Mavericks in the current game, he has already been eliminated. As for O'Neal, it is now in front of him. If the Pacers want to return to the finals, they must pass the heat. Therefore, as the core of the Heat, O'Neal, Naturally, it became the target that the Pacers had to target. Because he was worried that NN-Hilario would not be able to hold Shaq O'Neal, Rick Carlisle asked Jermaine O'Neal and NN-Hilario when arranging tactics Switch positions, NN-Hilario plays the 4th position, and Jermaine O'Neal goes to the 5th position to face the big fat guy. It can be said that Rick Carlisle is very "face" to Jermaine O'Neal.

"Jermaine, the defense against that big fat man is the key to our victory, so you must be mentally prepared."

"And NN, as long as the fat guy catches the ball, double-team him, regardless of the player you are facing. Another point, you play the [-]th position today, so you must be more active on the defensive end. If there is a leak on the outside line, you have to fill it up as soon as possible.”

"Meng, Jermaine plays the 5th position today, so you need to take more responsibility on the defensive end."

After the Pistons were swept by themselves and the biggest imaginary opponent lost the semifinals, the Pacers are now very easy up and down, but Rick Carlisle as the head coach is not at all easy, Jermaine O'Neal and NN-Hillary O'Neill's inside combination is considered the league's first-class inside combination, but the Pacers are still afraid of super insides like Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan, especially since Mutombo's injury status has been greatly reduced. I have never taken advantage of the Spurs and the Heat, so for this round of the series, Rick Carlisle is still a little worried. Although the Sharks are old, Yu Wei is still there. In the series with the Nets, Shaquille O'Neal Still able to play 23 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 blocked shots data.

"Miami Heat's starting lineup today, compared with the last round against the Nets, has not changed much. It is still point guard Jason Williams, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward Antawn - Walker, Udonis Haslem at power forward, Shaq O'Neal at center."

"As for the Pacers, apart from Jermaine O'Neal playing the 5th position today and NN-Hilario playing the 4th position, there have been no changes. They are still point guard Tony Allen and shooting guard Teshaw. En Prince, small forward Meng Xu."

"Although the five players of the Pacers have not changed, it can be seen from the exchange of positions between Jermaine O'Neal and NN Hilario that the Pacers may have some changes in their tactics today."

After the players from both sides walked out of the player channel one after another, Magic Johnson and Michaels on the sidelines began to introduce the starting lineups of the two sides. Is it going to change.

"No matter what you want to do, the victory must be mine." After both sides warmed up and all the starters appeared on the field, the head coach of the Heat, Pat Riley, who has the title of magic fortune teller, stared at him from the corner of his eye. Rick Carlisle, also standing on the sidelines, this scene has appeared in Pat Riley's mind many times.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Jermaine O'Neal and Shaq O'Neal, representing the Pacers and the Heat, jumped up at the same time, and the Pacers, the Heat and the Eastern Conference Finals officially kicked off.
