Winning 12 points, winning the championship with an embarrassing 4-3! The championship eventually became an NBA villain, and the league completely lost

On June 23, the finals G7 started, dragging until the draft and trading market began. The final suspense of the NBA this season was finally revealed. The Thunder defeated the Pacers 103-91 at home and won the championship with a total score of 4-3. I believe that this result is expected by everyone, and even from the probability prediction given by the US media "BR", there is no second option. The Thunder's probability of winning the championship is always above 80%. Halliburton, the only Pacers who have the possibility of a comeback, also suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon in G7. The Pacers fired all the bullets and eventually became a stepping stone for Alexander and the Thunder to take over. Alexander won the Finals MVP without surprise, but the Thunder and the League lost this season.

Let's start with a small matter. The game was in the second quarter, when Dortmund accidentally collided with Matherine during the defense process. Judging from the slow motion, Matherine did not exert any force. Dortmund simply ran into it on his own initiative and then fell to the ground exaggeratedly! The referee did not hesitate to call Matherine for an offensive foul. Matherine immediately signaled, but it could be seen that the Pacers players were used to this partial phishing method. However, the reporters along with the team, including the Clippers, Timberwolves, Warriors, etc., stopped working and complained about Dortmund, including complaining about the referee's partiality towards the Thunder. This is not the first time! In the previous few games, Dortmund elbowed Halliburton several times, and the referees said that Halliburton was the core, but what kind of treatment was this?

, including Alexander's elbow opening and Caruso's steal and foul foul, is even more common, and everyone has long been dissatisfied. Why did the Pacers lose 12 points in the tiebreak battle? To put it bluntly, it was because there was no Halliburton. The Pacers were completely in a mess in the third quarter. Whoever held the ball made a mistake. The Thunder repeatedly counterattacked, and the Thunder entered their familiar rhythm. In the fourth quarter, they tried everything but the score difference was too big! Halliburton played for 7 minutes in this game, scored 9 points in 3 of 4 three-pointers, and felt hot, but the Achilles tendon injury was really helpless. Essentially, Halliburton's injury has nothing to do with the Thunder, after all, he fell to the ground without confrontation. But take a step back and think about it, if the league does not interfere with the progress of the game in G4 and nihilizes the Pacers' victory in the cradle, will it be dragged to the tiebreak?

Haliburton persisted for 23 minutes with injuries in the G6 game, scoring 14 points and 5 assists. This is the limit that his body can bear! Originally, if the Pacers could successfully win the G4, perhaps this season would have ended long ago and they would not have to delay the tiebreak. In essence, for business goals and forcibly attracting traffic, the league pushed the players to the extreme of injury. The Pacers became the most disadvantaged side because they were only Halliburton able to control the field and did not receive any preferential treatment. Many of the Thunder's fouls have indeed reached the point of being unscrupulous. Not to mention this year's finals, Dortmund hit the air in mid-air and "accidentally injuring" Morant in the first round. Has he been punished? Caruso has so many so-called steals, do you dare to slow down one by one?

It must be said that the walkers are really tenacious. Even if they reached the fourth quarter, even if they were 22 points behind at most, they were only 12 points behind under the leadership of Matherine and Sika. Without much support from their skills and tactics and personal abilities, they relied entirely on their willpower to fight and silently counterattacked the league and the Thunder. After the Thunder was carrying the burden of winning and losing, they started the "free throw" stage again, Dortmund's free throw, Alexander's free throw, and the Thunder also wanted to use the challenge to apply for a layup by Matherine. Although they failed, to be honest, the whole fourth quarter was very embarrassing. Is this the strongest team in the league this season? What else do they have besides the top defense? When they reach critical moments, they will score free throws and fight alone.

No suspense, although the Thunder won the championship this season, they eventually became the biggest villain of the season! In the Grizzlies series, Morant was "accidentally injured" by Dortmund. In the Nuggets series, the league began to protect Alexander's Golden Bell. The controversy was the most controversial, and various air whistles emerged one after another. When the finals, the referees gently pushed the Thunder and the victory balance immediately changed. Everyone could see this process clearly. The league did indeed bring the business value of the finals, which had low traffic, to the maximum, and it also won the Thunder to the highest podium as it wished, achieving Alexander's Grand Slam achievement in the season, but what after that? The NBA is getting uglier and ugly.

Finally, congratulations to the Thunder for successfully taking the lead, but this year's finals, there is only one winner: the Pacers. Halliburton insisted on doing so with an injury and finally said goodbye to the death. The team fought against the "paper strength gap" and the referee's unfair punishment and the Thunder until the last moment. They gave all their money, so there was nothing to regret. If it doesn't work next season, then come back in 2 years! As for the League and the Thunder, they are actually losers. One exposes the greedy fangs of the business nature, while the other loses respect and it is difficult to retain the entire lineup framework in the future. I hope someone can bring them back to reality next season.
