G2 Revenge Pacers! Thunder uses the double tower tactic to end the myth of "reversal magic"!
Let's talk about the second game of the finals, and the Thunder and Pacers have figured out the fans' blood pressure. In the last G1 game, the Thunder led by 15 points in the final quarter and was defeated by Halliburton by 0.3 seconds, which made the home fans slapped their thighs directly; in this game, the Thunder directly beat the Pacers 123-107 at home, tied the big score 1-1 - this plot reversal is more exciting than the movie.
Let's talk about the competition process first. The Thunder did not give face to the Pacers at the beginning: Wallace and Homgren took turns to layup, Sika just made a three-pointer, and Dort immediately responded from the outside. Alexander was even more ruthless, and he made a direct shot from inside and outside. Nemhard felt warm and led 26-20 after the first quarter. What about the walker? Xika was a little disgusted and aimed at the basket for 24 seconds to violate the violation. How could this be reversed? The second quarter of
completely became Thunder's performance time. Jaylen and Caruso took turns to attack the basket. As soon as Mathering made a layup stopped the bleeding, Wiggins came with a three-pointer; Jaylen caused a kill, and Homegren dunked, and the gap widened 15 points. Pacers Nesmith makes a layup to chase points? Alexander immediately turned on the strong attack mode, and Wiggins continued three points, leading by up to 23 points. If Nemhard and Sika hadn't played 10-0 in the second half, the score difference would have been even bigger in the half-time - 59-41, the Thunder entered the locker room with an 18-point advantage.
The Pacers did fight in the second half. Turner relied on eating cakes and fouls to catch up, and Nesmith and Sika also made efforts, but Wiggins felt hot on the Thunder, and the score difference was always around 15 points. In the fourth quarter, Harteng scored 3 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in 22 minutes, plus or negative value + 17 - Although the data is average, the protection of the frame and rebound protection give him a sense of security. Dai Gnott finally understood: the rebounds and defense of the five small lineups were too bad, and the double towers were the right way. Wiggins continued to throw three-pointers, and the Thunder once led by more than 20 points. Halliburton scored 12 points in the last quarter, but the Thunder had already set the advantage in the first three quarters, and Caruso's last three-pointer directly killed the suspense. In this game, the Thunder three points are too critical:
, and Jewish and Chet finally stood up. G1 two had 10 points and 8 points. In this game, Jewe scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Chett scored 15 points and 6 rebounds - as the two young men recovered, the Thunder's offensive points were directly added, and Alexander was half of the pressure.
Second, the defensive strategy is adjusted in place. The G1 Thunder attacked Halliburton, but was defeated by others; if he didn't attack in this game, he would just play singles - it turns out that Halliburton is not a "undifferentiated singles monster" like Alexander. He made 17 points in 7 of 13 shots, and only 5 points in the first three quarters. It would be too late to exert force in the fourth quarter.
Third, the double tower tactics are really fragrant. G1 Thunder were snatched 56 rebounds by the Pacers (17 more) in five smalls. In this game, Homgren + Hartten partnered with the inside. The team grabbed 43 rebounds, but the Pacers rebounds fell directly to 35 - the basket confrontation and frame protection stabilized, and the Pacers' attack on the inside were all extinguished.
Looking at the Pacers, 7 players scored in double digits (Sica 15 points, Turner 16 points, Nesmith 14 points, Mathering 14 points, Nemhard 11 points, McConnell 11 points). This team of basketball is indeed like the Spurs in 2014 - but the problem is also here: no one can turn the tide at a critical moment. Although Halliburton has won 4 consecutive rounds, his average of 17.6 points in the playoffs is too unstable. He scored 8 points in 2 of 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals G6, and G4 and G3 in the semi-finals 3 and 2 of 8 respectively. Today's 5 points were scored in the first three quarters - this kind of "key" is more like a double-edged sword. Once targeted, the Pacers are silent.
The US media said after the game that "the finals are the gap between the first team and the third team", and the Australian media felt that "Alexander must have the murderous aura of MVP", but in fact, the most heart-wrenching thing is the data: Alexander scored 72 points in the first two games of the finals, setting a record for the first two games of his career; the 11th time in the playoffs, tying Jordan and James. How is this "Thunder Core"? This is the "Devil in the Finals".
Now the score is 1-1, the Pacers have grabbed a home advantage, and the Thunder regained their confidence - the next step to go to the Pacers' home court is the real test. Can the walkers adjust? They always win after losing in the first few rounds, and this is really tough; what should the Thunder pay attention to? The role players must keep their output, and the double tower tactics must continue to be used. But one thing is clear: the Pacers want to make a comeback, either Halliburton is super heroic every game, or the referee calls a "help" - after all, the league doesn't want to watch one-sided games.
But then again, this final is only good if there is suspense. The Thunder has a super huge pressure array, and the Pacers have team resilience. Next, G3, G4, and G5, let’s move small stools and prepare to see something more exciting!
