Listen to me and say thank you! Paul George does what he says, he really wants to bring a championship to the Pacers and the Thunder!

Oklahoma City Thunder met with the Indiana Pacers in the finals. The general manager of the Thunder, Sam Presti, who is planning, raised the lineup to find out the ball. The Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle, who is skilled in teaching according to his aptitude, has a pivotal hero behind the meeting between the two teams.

Paul George, a player who once played for the Pacers and the Thunder, and a man who once promised to bring championships to two teams respectively.

The current team of the Thunder and Pacers in the championship lineup are all the bargaining chips they exchanged for when they traded Paul George. It can be said that without Paul George, there would be no peak showdown between these two teams in this year's finals.

Indianapolis is where Paul George's career began. He led the Pacers to the playoffs six times in the first seven years of his career, including two consecutive Eastern Conference Finals to set a team record. However, the Pacers failed in both Eastern Conference Finals under the iron hoof of the Miami Heat led by LeBron James.

Paul George was selected as the All-Star four times in his career and ranked among the best team three times. However, because the Pacers never failed to break out from the East, the management, who saw no hope of winning the championship, was unwilling to invest too much, which led to a rift between Paul George and the team. In the end, the two sides broke up in disagreement. The Pacers sent Paul George to the Thunder for the return of Domantas Sabonis Jr. and Victor Oladipo.

The Pacers later sent Sabonis Jr. to the King of Sacramento, in exchange for the current team-building core Teresa Halliburton. In the four-way deal involving James Harden joining the Brooklyn Nets, the Pacers also used Oladipo as bargaining chips, and traded for Carris LeVer and two second-round picks. The second-round pick was finally introduced by the Pacers after the operation of the Pacers. Unfortunately, Jackson suffered a tear on the right Achilles tendon at the beginning of the season, resulting in a season reimbursement, and failed to complete the Pacers' journey to enter the finals. As for LeVer, the Pacers traded him to the Miami Heat and used the draft picks he received to select the two championship puzzles of Andrew Nembhard and Ben Shepard in the draft.

After coming to the Thunder, Paul George reached the peak of his career, was once selected for the Double First Team and ranked third in the regular season MVP selection. But after the playoffs failed for years, Paul George was determined to leave again, and the Thunder sent him to the Los Angeles Clippers to join forces with Kawhi Leonard as he wished, but Presti also asked the Clippers for generous trade returns, including Shea Gilgers Alexander and five first-round picks.

Alexander has now averaged 30+ points per game for three consecutive years and has become the MVP of the New Science regular season and the MVP of the Western Conference Finals. He is now only a short distance from the Grand Slam of the season. As for the multiple first-round picks sent by the Clippers, the Thunder used one of them to choose Jaylen Williams. He is the only player in the league this season to be selected as the best and best defensive team. The Thunder gained the cornerstone of the team building with this deal alone, and won 68 wins in the regular season under the leadership of Alexander and Jewish, and has now returned to the finals after 13 years.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Paul George, who was known as General Joe, received thousands of troops for the Pacers and Thunder with his own hands. Looking back at the time when he joined the team, Paul George would make a military order to promise the team to win the championship. However, things didn't go as they wished. He was unable to make achievements in both teams, but in any case, he will now fulfill his promise in another form - at least, there will be a team he has played for this season by trading the chips he received.

Finally, Paul George joined the Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason last year, and the team suffered injuries this season and even missed the play-offs. How can Philadelphia, which has Paul George, realize the future they believe in? Perhaps the Pacers and Thunder have given the answer. The answer to the

is on the puzzle.
