On May 22, the NBA played G1 in the east, and the Celtics beat the Pacers in 133-128 overtime at home.
After the game, commentator Wang Xiaochen commented: "Emotionally, I support the Green Army to win the championship, but I never feel that their strength is as high as that of the regular season.
"Paper strength may be true, but you can't see too many of them, like Wolf King or Xialei, playing high level offensive and defensive games, and playing games with players' execution and hard work, because the strength of opponents is always at least one level lower than them.
"This year, the overall level of the East is lower than that of the West, and various injury factors in the playoffs have exacerbated this gap. The Green Army has gone all the way to the present, and the Pacers are undoubtedly their strongest opponents, but they also follow the injury team to this position.
"Maybe such an opponent can't make the Green Army have to play hard to win. Today's game has confirmed this from a certain point of view: you can make mistakes, you can not have strength, and the opponent is even worse.
"Maybe after the return of Posen, the strength of the Green Army will be greatly upgraded, so as to eliminate all these problems, but his 12+5, 38.9% hits in the first four games of the playoffs, and there is not much chemical reaction between the attack and teammates, which makes it difficult to believe this from the bottom of my heart.
"This year is 2024, which reminds me of 2014. Will there be such a big gap between the East and the West?"
In 2014, the Spurs defeated the Heat 4-1 in the finals to win the championship.
