The Indiana Pacers came close to dethroning the Miami Heat in the 2013
postseason after stretching them to full seven games in the East Finals.
We’re at that point of the playoffs again and this time the Pacers have an
added weapon: homecourt advantage after topping the regular season in the
East.
溜马在去年季后赛经过七场血战后，差一点阻止了热火的二连霸，而现在，我们再次来到
了东区冠军战，这次，溜马多了一项武器：主场优势。
Will it be enough to oust LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest
of the Heat?
主场优势足够成为溜马打败热火的关键吗?
3 Keys for a Pacers Upset Over the Heat:
三个关键决定溜马能不能胜过热火：
Dominant Roy Hibbert
The tallest Heat player is Greg Oden but it appears he’s out of the rotation
of Erik Spoelstra. Can the likes of Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen contain
Hibbert on offense? Or first things first, which Hibbert will play in this
series? The good one has dominated the Heat in the past and the bad one
struggled against the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards in this postseason.
具有统治力的西博：
热火最高的球员是欧登，但很明显他不在波帅的轮值里面，而哈斯伦跟鸟人有办法在防守
上扛住西博吗？但更重要的是，西博在这系列能表现的如何？他可以像去年一样统治热火
的禁区，却也可以在打老鹰跟巫师时，变成一个大三零。
Homecooking in Indiana
The Pacers already lost four home games in this postseason. They can’t
afford to lose more against the defending champions. They MUST protect
homecourt advantage if they want to have a chance. The first two games
will be crucial as a win by the Heat will mean a split entering Games 3
and 4 in Miami.
主场优势
溜马在季后赛已经在主场输了四次。而在对阵热火时，他们一定要极力避免在主场输球，
好好保护自己的主场优势才有机会击败热火。
Superstar George
Similar to the pressure on Hibbert, the Pacers will need Paul George to step
up especially as he’s up against the best player in the planet. If George
is consistent in his scoring, at least that sorts of neutralizes LeBron’s
offensive output. And on defense, if he can at least contain LeBron—or limit
him to either just a playmaker or just a scorer… it would already be a small
victory for the Pacers, which will have a better chance of beating the Heat
without a dominant James.
变身成巨星的24号
就像西博一样，溜马需要乔治挺身而出去对抗地表上最强的篮球员。如果乔治在进攻面能
抵销LBJ的得分，而在防守上，他能限制LBJ的发挥，不让他带动整个热火的攻势，溜马才
有机会能打败热火。
Despite the top seeding in the East, the Pacers are considered (rightfully)
the underdog in this series. They are priced 4.05 to win this best-of-seven
affair against the Heat favourites by 1.25. Even in the opening game the
spread is set at +2.5 for the ‘dogs Pacers.
尽管是东区第一种子，溜马在这个系列战却不被看好，他们的赔率尽有4.05，而热火是
1.25，就算是溜马主场的第一场比赛，溜马也被让了2.5分。
Are the books totally disrespecting Indiana with these lines? Or is Miami
just that good?
溜马是不是被小看了呢? 还是迈阿密真的那么强大？
心得：
溜马在这个系列中不被看好，跟我所想的不太一样，不过溜马在季后赛表现的真的很差，
感觉是靠对手打不好才过关的，但如果能回到最佳的状态，还是很有机会一拼阿！季后赛
是印证巨星的时刻，究竟24号能不能承担起整个城市的希望呢？
