Harry scored 12 points in the final quarter! G2 lost to the Thunder. After the game, Carlisle revealed the reason, and he is really sober!

Halliburton's "magic" failed. Although he scored 12 points in the last quarter, he was helpless and was too big in the first half and eventually lost. He was tied 1-1 by the Thunder in the series!

After the game, Pacers coach Carlisle said in an interview: "Our poor performance in the first half is obviously a big problem, and the second half is slightly better. But you can't always be in a passive state of being beaten, and you are looking forward to success in the last moment."

It's true! The Pacers' old habit of slow warming was infinitely amplified by the Thunder in the finals. G1 fell behind by 12 points in the first half, and finally relied on Halliburton's fairy ball to "help". G2 fell behind by 18 points in the first half. With G1 experience, the Thunder did not dare to relax. Caruso + Dolter defenders even guarded Halliburton in the whole game. Harry scored only 5 points after the third quarter! Although the team scored 7 points in double digits, none of them scored 20+. Compared with Alexander of the Thunder, Halliburton really couldn't match it. No wonder he was rated as "the most overrated player" by the league! Halliburton, without magic, really has difficulty taking on the position of a team scorer.

Turner admitted after the game: "We only scored 4 or 6 points in the penalty area in the first half, which is not a Pacers-style basketball. When you can only rely on three-pointers or mid-range shots to determine life and death, this is not a good thing for you."

Scoring less in the penalty area in the first half is not that the Pacers are not excellent enough, but that the Thunder learned the lessons of G1 and no longer use five smalls to fight quickly. Instead, restarting the two towers. When Chet made an external save, Harten would guard the basket and be blocked by the Thunder in the interior, resulting in the frequency of three-point shooting. He shot 40 three-pointers in the game, but he only made 14 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 35%!

As Magic Johnson said, "Halliburton must think about scoring from the beginning! He has to push the speed to change!" With the efforts in the fourth quarter alone, he could not fill the huge hole dug in the first half. Although Mathering and McConnell scored in double digits, they performed well. However, the Thunder's Caruso, a player who is good at defense, also became the main attacker today (20+3+1). When a defensive player can score, it will definitely increase his playing time. If the defensive intensity is in place, it will be strange if the Pacers can play well!

For example, for example, the Lakers' "Blade Guard" Vanderbilt, if he can not only defend but also score, will the opponent be panicked? You must be panicked. A player like this can not only limit your scoring for a second on the court, but also score by yourself. The score difference will only be wider and wider!

famous speaker Skip said directly after the game: "The Thunder solved the battle in 5 games. They are too strong and have not reached their best condition yet!" This sounds harsh, but looking at this scene, the Pacers' dark horse is really hanging?

However, Su Qun also said: "The first two games are just to deepen the understanding of each other, and the third game will truly determine the trend of the series!"
