Two teams that have never paid luxury tax meet in the finals, what can teams who are eager for quick success and instant benefits learn from?

This year's NBA Finals something that has never happened in history, and it is very positive. Two teams that have never paid luxury taxes meet in the finals. This is really a great irony for those teams who are eager for quick success and instant benefits. Players trained by themselves are actually more reliable than star teams that are built up with money. The last time the Pacers entered the finals was in the 1999-2000 season. The star at that time was Reggie Miller. That year they met the OK combination and were beaten to no avail. The team since then was also unknown. Until George arrived, his performance improved a little and his attention increased a lot.

The last time the Thunder reached the finals was in 2012, with the three brothers Durant, Harden and Westbrook as the core, but they were sent home by the Heat after just one victory. The Heat were James, Wade and Bosh as the core at that time, and James won the first championship of his career. When did the ethos of winning the championship start? In fact, it was not James who took the lead, but the Lakers in 2004 had some signs, so they found Malone and Payton and formed four giants. In fact, they are not considered to be the Big Four, because Malone and Payton have reached the end of their careers, and they average about 10 points per game. Because Kobe and O'Neal had internal friction in the team, they lost to the Pistons, which did not have the All-Star team in the finals.

The Celtics in 2008 also started the group mode. Although Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen were not in their peak period, the lean camel was bigger than the horse, and the three players had very strong combat power. The key was that they were very online in defense ability and attitude, so that they defeated the combination of Kobe and Gasol in the finals, and reached the finals again in 2010. Because none of the three people were in their peak period, there were not many criticisms.

James and Wade, Bosh formed three giants in 2010, and met the Mavericks led by Nowitzki in 2011. Because the tactical core was not determined, internal friction caused the loss and did not win the final championship. The next year, Wade voluntarily gave up his boss' position to James and took on more defensive tasks, and the Heat also won the championship as he wished. James started his feat of reaching the finals for eight consecutive years. At this stage, he always has two All-Star players around him, which is why he has been criticized by so many people.

Durant joined the Warriors. Although he was also a group and was considered a giant of four, there were not so many criticisms. It was because James made a bad start, so everyone was not so disgusted with Durant's behavior.

The Clippers formed four giants, Leonard, George, Westbrook and Harden, but they did not reach the finals. Leonard's injuries, Harden's defense, and Westbrook's shooting were all flaws.

The Pacers nowadays do not have an All-Star player that attracts attention, but the team's defense is very strong. Without the so-called big-name players, the whole team is a soldier and is willing to pay more in defense. In contrast, why the Lakers were eliminated in the first round? Doncic's defense, James' defense, and Rivers' defense are all very big loopholes, and such a team cannot go further.

The Thunder team players are also trained by themselves. The small ball market does not have that much money, so they polish their basic skills and do their defense well. This Thunder team is very likely to replicate the Spurs' feats back then. The small-season team has a strong defense and a stable main lineup. It is very likely that they can dominate the league for 3-5 years. The Warriors paid a lot of luxury taxes last year, but did not make it to the playoffs and suffered a huge loss. Although he entered the second round this year, he made a little profit. It is said that he plans to recruit Durant to form a winning team again. The risk is quite high, and the wealth of your leading team has been emptied. Once you fail to win the championship, the lineup will be broken up.

The success of the Pacers and the Thunder must have more or less impact on these teams that are eager for quick success and instant benefits. It turns out that basketball still has to return to the team positioning, and making up stars cannot solve the problem.
