Reasonable dark horse strongman: a low-key and strong Pacer!

This is a fairly exemplary professional team. When the management sees the situation is not good, they will push it back and start over again, and will not stick to the lineup and force it to prolong their lives; but it will not make the record bad to the bottom, and they will rebuild it entirely by drawing lots of drafts. They accumulate assets in the transactions down-to-earth, and focus on cultivating players to improve their competitiveness.

The head coach practices tactics in the regular season, develops tacit understanding, management adjusts the lineup, strives to run in the regular season, and plays seriously to strive for high picks; after a solid foundation, enters the playoffs, the head coach adjusts the response to the opponent, and the players use tactical execution and discipline to strive for victory.

Like the Heat in previous years, the Pacers are not outstanding at all in terms of talent in close proximity, but they just can win.

The last time the Pacers reached the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years, they all fell in front of the Heat led by James. After a brief restructuring, he still entered the playoffs for five consecutive years. All of them were eliminated in the first round and rebuilded again. After many years, he entered the Eastern Conference Finals twice in a row.

's opponent's injury did help the Pacers a lot. Antetokounmpo was absent from the first round of the playoffs last season, Anunobi and Miro were absent from the second round, and the ace core Brunson did not play until the end.

Lillard missed some games in the first round of this season, and Mobley, Mitchell, Garland and others all had injuries in the second round. Compared to that, the Pacers are indeed the side with a complete lineup. But luck has always been part of strength. As long as it is not a malicious cause injury to the opponent, it is not a big deal. Originally, player injury management is also part of the team's strength, and this link is exactly one of the Pacers' advantages.

Excellent head coaches, implementing his winning style, and pairing them with players who work hard to execute tactics and never give up. Finally, they get a hint of luck, which eventually creates Pacers who defeat the 60-win team in five games.

has reached the division final for two consecutive years, which is not of great value to those who only value the championship. But for fans who have grown up with the team, it is definitely a relief to see the core they have cultivated continue to achieve results.
