Average of 15.5+4.5 in the finals, plus or negative value +4.5, Caruso began to show value

Perhaps because the last game was humiliated by a 1-point kill, all the Thunder started the game with a revenge mentality. As a side with obvious strength, the Thunder opened the score difference in this game just by using the half-time game. Thanks to the lessons learned in the last game, the Thunder did not relax any longer in this game, and directly maintained the score difference to the finish line. In the end, they defeated the Pacers by 16 points, sweeping away the haze of previous losses, and also showing their confidence in winning the championship.

In this game, MVP Alexander still performed as steadily as an old dog, making 11 of 21 shots, scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, laying the foundation for winning. Williams made 5 of 14 shots, scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, showing that he was the second stable scoring point of the team after Alexander. Hollengum performed well, but only scored 15 points and 6 rebounds against Turner, which was somewhat inconsiderate. It seems that after transferring Halten to the bench, Hollengum, who served as center, seemed not to be able to adapt to the intensity of the confrontation.

The remaining two starters performed mediocrely, but a player on the bench stood up in time, and this player was Bald Mamba Caruso. Just when all the fans were wondering when the Thunder chose to exchange potential star Gidey for Bald Mamba alone in the offseason last season and renewed his contract with a high salary, Bald Mamba used his ability to show in the playoffs to block the mouths of all fans who questioned him. I have to say that this deal is really good.

First, I faced the Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs. Although Bald Mamba is a small outside player, he has achieved textbook defense in changing to defend against Jokic. The entire series made Teacher Yoo very uncomfortable, which is also one of the reasons why the Thunder easily won the Nuggets. It can be said that Caruso transformed into the defensive gate in the second round, showing his unparalleled defensive ability on the defensive end.

and entered the finals, he completely showed his big heart and offensive talent. In the two finals, Caruso averaged 27.5 minutes per game, was able to hand over 15.5 points and 4.5 rebounds, and the plus and negative value was +4.5, which completely became the most stable and important firepower point on the team's bench. And don't forget that he also has to defend his opponent's number one offensive player, so there is a reason why Caruso is called Bald Mamba.
