McCon 2 steals + Mathering 14 points! Pacers substitute 11-0 shock wave, Daimport s pause gesture was criticized for amateur

In the third quarter of the NBA Finals, the Pacers completely reversed the situation with an 11-0 attack wave. Among them, McCon's two steals and Mathering's performance of scoring 7 points became the key, and Thunder coach Daim Porter's timeout arrangement was criticized by the US media for being "amateur". Behind the 64-60 halftime score was the complete defeat of the coach's game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder was still ahead by 8 points, but only 2 minutes into the opening of the second quarter, McConn completed steals from Alexander in a row, assisting Mathering to a fast break dunk for the first time, and making a layup for his fast break for the second time, instantly narrowing the gap to 1 point. Daimport was forced to call for a timeout, but after the timeout, the Pacers continued to exert force - Mathering received Halliburton's wonderful pass and completed a counter-run of 2+1, and then a three-pointer at the top of the arc penetrated the heart. Within 2 minutes, the 7-point output stopped the Thunder. At this time, the score difference had exceeded 5 points.

"Looking at Daimport's gesture, is he actually teaching the players 'one-on-one single defense'?" US media "Bleacher Report" gave a sharp comment. Slow motion shows that during the pause, Daimport made a "single defense" gesture many times, but did not arrange a coordinated defense strategy, which led to Mathering's repeated use of counter-running and empty cuts to score. What's even more fatal is that when the Pacers substitute hit 11-0, he didn't call a timeout until he fell behind by 5 points, missing the best stop loss opportunity. The scene shot captured him roaring on the sidelines, but to no avail.

Halftime data showed that the Pacers scored 34-8 as a substitute, and Mathering crushed his opponent with 14 points and 6 points and 4 assists. Daimport's on-site command became the target of public criticism, and Carlisle's "Five Substitutes of Death" tactic was a great success. The finals stage never lacks superstar matchups, but tonight, the coach's game may be the winner.
