A gentleman swept, and one played 6 games, 4 things were basically confirmed, and the era of group balls ended

As the Pacers took the Knicks, they completely determined a place in the finals. As for this matter, who can think of the Pacers who rushed out of the East before the start of the playoffs? But that's the case, the Pacers went a step further than last season. But what I want to talk about is another phenomenon, the alliance has really changed. One gentleman swept, the other played 6 games, and four things were basically confirmed, and the era of group balls ended.

You can take a look at these two finals teams. The Thunder is a gentleman sweeping, and the game is quite comfortable and the promotion is relatively easy. The Pacers could have swept by gentlemen, but they were absent-minded in Game 5, so they played one more game, but this did not change the fact of promotion. In general, one used 5 games and the other used 6 games. They met at the top and competed for the final honor of the season, which was also quite lively.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, as the Thunder and the Pacers entered the finals, four things were basically confirmed. The first thing is that the small ball era is over. The so-called small ball era is actually Curry's solo dance alone. As Curry grows older, no one will have the three-point ability like Curry, so the ball will naturally not be able to play. The Pacers and the Thunder are both in a different mode to a certain extent, and they are quite lively, and everyone has seen it. The second thing is that the group mode is also over. In the past team building model, either gathering two giants or three giants. But in the current salary structure and past failures of giant teams, the group model is about to end. To a certain extent, not every time you join a group, you can succeed. Thunder and Pacers are super arrows + high-quality puzzle patterns and can also be successful, which has been verified this year.

The third thing is that long rotation will become the mainstream. In this year's playoffs, the two teams that reached the last two, without exception, they both played long rotations. Because in the current fast-paced competition, short rotation is to dig a hole for yourself. From the Lakers to the Knicks, short-switch teams have become abandoned. To put it bluntly, in the current game, long rotation is the only way to laugh at the end, and this phenomenon will be more prominent in the future. You can wait and see.

The fourth thing is that the big core holding the ball will be more favored. The Thunder and Pacers both use the ball-holding core as the base, plus some top support. Therefore, in the future, all the big cores with the ball will be favored, especially those tall big cores with the ball. In general, the success of the Thunder and the Pacers has provided new ideas for the league, and the league will usher in an era of blooming flowers.
