11:54pm, 6 June 2025Basketball

On June 6, the highly anticipated NBA Finals G1 was staged in a shocking manner. The Pacers miraculously narrowly defeated the Thunder with a slight advantage of 111-110. Halliburton once again staged a great victory. This is the fourth time he has completed a draw or even a winning victory in this year's playoffs. Such a feat is an unprecedented basketball miracle.

Faced with the shocking reversal of the Pacers, even though the Thunder star Alexander scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, he could only accept the defeat. The Thunder remained ahead almost the whole game, but was overtaken by the Pacers in the last 0.3 seconds. The miracle quietly arrived in a flash. If the Thunder ultimately fails to win the championship, even if Alexander wins the MVP, scores the top scorer and is selected for the Best Team, it will be difficult to escape the doubts from the outside world.

Pacers, this team is not favored, but led the league's No. 1 Thunder 1-0 in the finals and successfully regained their home advantage. Looking back at the playoffs this season, the Pacers have staged a nearly impossible reversal drama four times. In the first round against the Bucks, the Bucks led 7 points in the last 33.3 seconds, with a chance of winning as high as 97.9%, but the Pacers stubbornly tied the score and finally won; in the semi-finals, the Cavaliers also led 7 points in the last 48 seconds, with a sure win, but the Pacers staged a shocking reversal again; in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks led 14 points in the last 2 minutes and 39 seconds, and the probability of winning soared to 99.7%, but the Pacers still did not give up and finally won the victory; in the finals, G1, facing the Thunder in the last 9 points, the Pacers once again had a reversal difficulty of 96.4%, which continued the miracle. According to NBA reporters, the probability of the Pacers winning these four games at the same time is only one in 1.5 million, but they miraculously achieved this goal. This is not only a victory in basketball, but also a hymn of faith and persistence. The Pacers' performance will undoubtedly become a good story in NBA history. It may be even more difficult to witness such a wonderful scene in the future.

At present, the Pacers have led the Thunder 1-0, and the suspense of the championship is rising. Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball commentator, predicted that the Thunder would defeat the Pacers 4-2 to win the championship before the finals. However, after the G1 ended, he mentioned the Pistons in 2004 in his interactions with fans. At that time, the Pistons met the Lakers in the finals and were not favored by the outside world, but in the end they defeated the Big Four of the Lakers and won the championship. Su Qun's implication is undoubtedly an hinting that the Pacers are expected to replicate the miracle of the piston and create their own glory.

A careful examination of the playoffs this season, and it is not appropriate to describe it as "upset". From the first round to the finals, popular teams have been dropped one after another, and strong teams such as the Lakers, Warriors, Celtics, and Cavaliers have been eliminated one after another. The Western Finals were even more unexpected, with the Thunder and the Timberwolves meeting on a narrow road; the Eastern Finals were even more dark horses, and the Knicks and the Pacers staged a good show of the following. Now, the Pacers are once again standing on the championship stage. Let's wait and see whether they can go all out and create one of the most valuable championships in NBA history.

It is worth mentioning that Lakers leader James also talked about the Pacers before the finals. His prediction this time was once again accurate, believing that even if the opponent leads the Pacers by 25 points, it is not a fear, because the game has not yet ended, and the Pacers will never give up easily. James's prediction of the uncertainty once again proves his deep understanding of basketball. However, despite his accurate predictions, as the first in the league, he is 40 years old and is unable to change the fate of the Lakers. But in any case, James' sharp comments and the Pacers' shocking reversal will add more legendary color to this season's NBA Finals.
