What awaits them in the Eastern Conference finals is the Indiana Pacers who have completed their reorganization this year, ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and kept chasing the Celtics throughout the season!
This year's Pacers not only waited for their hero Reggie Miller again, but also finally waited for the growth of Steve Jackson, O'Neal Jr., Jaylen Rose and others. This team has become a team. A top-level team full of combat effectiveness, tenacity and blood!
Miller came and went, but it was one more time, a shock to the championship.

The championship! I don't care who the opponent is, and I don't care who stands in front of me, I will only say: I will never give up!""
When the reporter brought Miller's answer to Lin Long, Lin Long said with ease: "Of course he doesn't need to care who is standing in front of him, because it must be me! If I remember correctly, have I been in five In the year 960, he had been turned over 4 times? It seems to be 3 times? Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, there will be a brand new one soon!
"To be honest, it feels really good to knock out the same opponent in a row! Destroy them and then watch them talk hard, especially Reggie, I really want to see how long he can talk hard!"
The speeches of the two sides also made the media and fans suddenly realize that Lin Long and Miller can be regarded as a pair of rivals. In this wave of consecutive championships, the Celtics will be on the road to championship almost every time. There is Miller's figure.
That is, the 1998–1999 playoffs.
Miller and the Pacers that year were defeated by Jordan, who was transferred to the Knicks. He did not have the chance to be defeated by Lin Long.
And last year's Western Conference finals, the Lakers were defeated by the Spurs, also failed to enter the finals.
This round of rivalry has also been hyped up by the media once again, trying to attract as many fans as possible to watch this round of games.
