Before the finals G3, Halliburton was quite frank, Carlisle made a request, Turner accepted the facts

The Pacers and Thunder's finals are now tied 1-1. It seems that it was a draw, but in fact, everyone has seen the gap between the two sides and their feelings about the game. The Thunder are obviously the more advantageous side. For the walkers, they need to adjust. So what are the Pacers worth paying attention to before Game 3 of the Finals? Before the finals G3, Halliburton officially ordered, Carlisle made a request, and Turner accepted the facts. As the core of the team, Halliburton also officially issued an order after the team lost Game 2 and was quite frank. Halliburton said that losing a game is not a bad thing in a series, but you have to learn from it and see where you can improve. In fact, Halliburton is not wrong. Pacers now need to make adjustments because the Thunder has shown their tough side. Now the Pacers are in a passive state, which is undoubtedly true.

As the team coach, Carlisle also made a request. Carlisle bluntly stated that the team must firmly focus on the current and current tasks, which ultimately depends on trying to execute tactics better than their opponents. Carlisle is also very serious, but unfortunately, the Pacers nowadays don’t have much room to adjust. There was an advantage of long rotation before, but now after being matched by the Thunder, the Pacers felt very uncomfortable, and the two games said it all.

Turner performed well in the playoffs this year, and also scored 16 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in G2. What’s more interesting is that when Turner talks about Alexander, he also accepted reality. Turner admitted that Alexander was in a hot state every game and the team had accepted this fact. In fact, Turner was not wrong. Alexander is the Thunder's basic board, contributing 30 points steadily in each game, no matter what kind of defensive environment it is.

There is a statistics we need to pay attention to, that is, Alexander has scored 30+ points in 13 games in the playoffs this year. As for this game, it is the most since Antetokounmpo in 21 years. Considering that the finals have not been finished yet, Alexander will continue to increase this game. Of course, for the Pacers, don’t think about defending Alexander, but find ways to limit the players around Alexander.

To a certain extent, G3 is a relatively critical game. If the Pacers can win, then there are still some games in the series. If they cannot win, the Pacers will be more passive. In fact, what the Pacers need to do now is to have a choice when defending, and it is impossible to both want and want. So, in the next game, everyone will wait and see, and both sides will be quite lively.
