Pacers replica the Warriors Dynasty? This lineup is really interesting!

On June 23, the finals tiebreak battle is about to be staged! The Thunder played against the Pacers at home, with both sides scoring 3-3, and the suspense was full. We will wait and see who can win the championship.

However, before the war, the NBA memes "NBA Memes" came to the end. They posted a picture, teasing that the walker was actually **"cosmic bravery"**, and this idea was really funny. But if you think about it carefully, it’s really interesting!

Today we will play a game: Is this Pacers really the "replacement version of the universe bravery"? We are neither bragging nor slandering, we can put data and talk about roles to make it clear for you!

Field Control Brain: Halliburton = tied with Curry?

Let's look at the top card: Tyreth Halliburton.

Halliburton's data this season is:

📊 Average of 20.1 points, 10.9 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and a three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%.

You say he looks like Curry? The explosive power of the scoring is not in the same range, but his ball quotient, vision and organization are really the engine of this Pacers. Especially in the playoffs, he played with injuries in many key battles just to stabilize his position.

In the sixth game, although he only played 23 minutes and got off the court, he still sent 5 assists + 14 points, and there was no problem connecting the entire team. Like Curry, once he gets off the court, the team's offense will be reduced to a higher level.

Universal Front: Siakam = Draw for Durant?

Pascal Siakam, as the key puzzle for joining the franchise, became more and more like a leader in the finals.

He is not as unsolvable as the peak KD, but he is tall and has long arms, a weird rhythm, and can also drive the ball to the basket by himself. Does it taste like KD playing the third position in the Warriors back then? Let's talk about the details: In the sixth game, he made 9 of 14 shots and scored 20 points, with 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The key is the contribution on the defensive end - limiting the Thunder line and fighting against Jalen Williams, who is the key figure. His versatility is indeed quite similar to the dirty and exquisite work Durant did when he was brave in the universe.

Breaking point shooter: Nesmith = tied with Clay?

This is probably the most unpopular but interesting "flat substitution" combination.

Aaron Nesmith averaged 12.2 points this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of nearly 38%. The playoffs are unstable, but his positioning on the court is particularly similar to that of Clay:

shoots when receiving the ball, and doesn't have that many dribbling balls;

has heavy defensive tasks, especially focusing on the opponent's backcourt explosion points;

does not take up the ball very much, and rely on efficiency to make a living.

He is not a great master like Clay who can burst out 40 points at any time, but if you give him space, he can give you two three-pointers in a row and you can break through the opponent's defense.

Body Artist: James Johnson = Picking Dreams?

Don't laugh, this is really not a joke.

James Johnson, background in fighting championship, is the real "karate master" in the NBA. He is not the protagonist of this round of series, but his significance in the locker room and bench is very important - stabilize the morale of the army, impart experience, and create a "vicious atmosphere".

To be honest, with him here, who dares to easily give Halliburton some "actions"? Isn’t this one of the roles of pursuing dreams in the Warriors back then?

Of course, he is not able to organize attacks and play against the core of the five small lineup like Zhu Meng, but if there is a small conflict in the tiebreak, he might really go on the field to "stop the field".

Mid-distance expert: McConnell = Livingston! I will give the metaphor

full marks.

T.J. McConnell's style of playing is almost the same as that of Livingston, who was once the Warriors:

likes to play mid-range;

small throws after cover are extremely accurate;

slow but experienced;

defensive end is very annoying and has a strong stealing ability. In the sixth game, he scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals! Note that he is only 1.83 meters tall and can grab 9 boards, all depends on his enthusiasm.

Don't forget that Livingston relied on this kind of stable central shot and experience to become the most reliable puzzle in the Warriors' substitute lineup.

Summary: Is it really a "cosmother-sacred cosmic courage"?

is said to be a joke, but this Pacers do have the "similar temperament" of the Warriors back then:

bloomed at multiple points, not relying on single cores;

substitutes can play key rounds;

players perform their own duties and do not compete for the ball;

defense is desperate, and the team atmosphere explodes.

If you say that they are completely substitutes, they will definitely be hydrated, but this team really has a "grassroots Warriors" smell. The question now is:

Can they go to the end and win the championship trophy like the Warriors back then?

On June 23, we will see the final decision!
