After the Pacers enter the finals! Sika won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, she can win without spending money, George changes the situation

June 1, the G6 of the NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals continued today. The Pacers seized the opportunity at home and finally defeated the Knicks 125-108, reaching the Finals 4-2 with a big score. Looking back at the Pacers' promotion journey, although it doesn't look so good and the lineup is not very strong, it can burst out with powerful energy in the playoffs. In terms of stars, Siakam and Halliburton have become the backbone of the team, and there are also many players in the role players. The most important thing is the old coach Carlisle, who is worthy of being the champion coach. It has obvious effect on the development of the depth of the bench, and it is also very critical to respond on the spot, and its role is huge. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time the Pacers have returned to the finals after 25 years, which is a major breakthrough.

After the end of this game, the Pacers' forward Siakam also won the trophy of the MVP in the East Finals. It is worth mentioning that Halliburton, who is also very popular, missed the MVP with only one vote, Sika won 5 votes, and Halliburton won 4 votes. Sika averaged 24.8 points, 5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.4% and 50% of three-pointers, while Halliburton averaged 21 points, 10.5 assists and 6 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.5% and 32.7% of three-pointers. It has to be said that Sika and Halliburton actually have the chance to win the award, but Sika's key games and performance should be more stable, and it deserves to win the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It is worth mentioning that after advancing to the finals, the Pacers also set a record with the Thunder, that is, both teams did not pay luxury tax and successfully entered the finals, proving that if they want to ensure the strength of the team, they don’t have to spend money on arms races. Like the Thunder, through very deep reconstruction, they found the core of Alexander as the leader to train them, and then accumulated talent at high picks, and finally achieved a breakthrough using the rookie bonus period. On the other hand, the Pacers are another team building model. They hardly take the initiative to play badly. They insist on keeping Turner without a trade, and then constantly repairing the lineup, finally creating a lineup for the championship.

After both the Thunder and the Pacers advanced to the finals, there was also a very interesting thing, that is, George was pulled out and whipped the body again. Why? Because of George's deal in 2017, he received Oladipo and Sabonis Jr., and Sabonis Jr., and Halliburton. In 2019, George traded from the Thunder to the Clippers in exchange for the Thunder’s new king Alexander. No one expected that George, the protagonist of the transaction, gradually faded. Instead, his old clubs used the trading assets to complete the reconstruction and both entered the finals. So to a certain extent, George's transaction really changed the pattern of the league. Both the Pacers and the Thunder are rotated long and pay attention to the overall situation. The Thunder's defense is stronger, the Pacers' offense is explosive, and the conflicts are more controversial. Who do you prefer?
