The dispute continues, the league appears again after 16 years, McConnell may continue to write the legend of Vallad

Not long ago, the sixth competition in the NBA Finals had ended. The Pacers, who returned to Indiana's home court, got a 30-point lead in three quarters, determined the victory early, and tied the series to 3-3. Both sides will stage a finals tiebreak battle at 8 o'clock on Monday morning, and decide the final championship.

For fans, the two sides of this year's finals are indeed somewhat unexpected, especially the Eastern Conference team Pacers. They did not show special dominance in the Eastern Conference before, but in the playoffs, they defeated strong enemies in a row, first eliminated the Bucks led by Antetokounmpo 4-1 in the first round.

In the second round, facing the Cavaliers, who won 64 games in the regular season, the team passed the game easily 4-1 again, and only then did people start to face the team led by Halliburton and Sica. When we arrived at the Eastern Conference Finals, facing the Knicks, who had the strongest starter in the league, the team ended the battle in just 6 games. You should know that the Pacers were once ranked last on the list of the probability of winning the championship before the start of the playoffs.

Fighting to the finals, the Pacers are not afraid of the top Thunder in the West. Even if there is a regular season MVP Alexander, the Pacers are all soldiers, and the tactical playing style of blooming more points makes the Thunder very troubled. After reaching the sixth game of the finals, the Pacers no longer felt as slow as before. The team played a small offensive climax in the second quarter and scored 22 points in the first half.

After the final whistle, the team defeated the Thunder with 17 points, it was also confirmed that the two teams needed to tiebreak. The last tiebreak battle in the finals dated back to the Cavaliers and the Warriors 16 years ago. At that time, the Cavaliers were behind 1-3 and won three consecutive games, and finally defeated the Warriors 4-3 and won the championship.

I have to say that the tiebreaker in the finals is definitely something that the top leaders of the NBA league hope to see. According to incomplete statistics, every extra game in the previous finals could bring about $100 million in revenue to the league, and the commercial value of the tiebreak battle is even more immeasurable. The lowest ticket price for the Thunder’s home court alone has reached $1,062 per ticket. You should know that this has created the highest ticket price for the Thunder’s home court.

For both sides, the finals tiebreak is more about on-the-spot performance and spiritual competition. For example, the Thunder team, they made 20 mistakes in a single game in the regular season, but in the sixth game of the finals, 21 mistakes occurred in a single game. There is also Jaylen Williams, the second in charge of the team. He just scored 40 points in the last game to help the team win. In this game, he became the lowest in the game with a plus-minus value of -40.

In contrast, for the Pacers, Halliburton's leg injury was an uncertain factor, and he only received the doctor's permission to play before the G6 game. At the same time, away games are also a test for the team's psychology. But then again, in this playoff round, the Pacers will have heroic figures standing up every game, and perhaps the same is true in Game 7 of the Finals.

And the most optimistic player is undoubtedly the substitute guard TJ McConnell. In the finals, he has performed well in three games. In this game, he even scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, becoming a cavalry on the bench. Even the commentators on the scene couldn't help but admire that McConnell is a real fighter, just like JJ Vallad in 2011.

Time went back to 2011, when Carlisle was also led by the team. JJ Valladar, who was only 1.78 meters tall, became the Mavericks' surprise. He scored 17 points and 5 assists in the fifth game, and 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in the sixth game, helping Nowitzki win the only championship trophy in his career. And now, in the team of coach Carlisle, McConnell, 1.85 meters tall, is doing the same thing.

As a veteran who has been fighting in the league for 10 years, McConnell has always appeared as a substitute, and his shortcomings outside the three-point line always make people think that it does not conform to modern basketball playing style. But it is such a player who uses mid-range jump shots in the finals G6 to help the Pacers establish a leading advantage. The off-field celebrities shouted repeatedly. This is the way tough basketball should have. Young players should go back and practice mid-range shots. And McConnell may be the key factor affecting the finals! Who do you think will win a bigger chance of winning in this year's finals? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
