Pacers enter the Eastern Conference Final again! Carlisle VS Thibodeau? The showdown between spear and shield! The probability of the championship is revealed

Pacers played the Cavaliers 114-105 away and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years! Dare you believe this script? Last year, it was also said that it was "reconstructed" and this year it was just going to be the end. But behind the winning game, the man is the most awesome - Carlisle! The coach's coaching level has simply transformed the Pacers from "mediocrity" to "art"! In the 27 years of his coaching career, Carlisle was always able to "adapt to local conditions", the iron-blooded defense of the Pistons, the championship joint defense of the Dallas Mavericks (now renamed the Mavericks), and the Pacers' "lightning offense + unlimited defense replacement". This old man is a real tactical genius! In Dallas, he used joint defense to lock the Heat Big Three to win the championship, but now he has given the Pacers the league's first offensive efficiency (120.1 in the playoffs, unique in history). Today, Halliburton scored 27 points in the first three games, and this game hit 31 points. What is the point? That is "transmission and cutting cooperation among all employees + targeted breakthrough strategies"! The Cavaliers are on 3-2 joint defense? Turner and Topin directly "big bullying the small" to break the inside line; Mitchell's single-handed challenge is unsolvable? The whole team turned to strangle the pass route and forced him to fight alone (G5 only had one assist in the game).

What's more amazing is that Carlisle never relies on the star to hard chisel. Haliburton's half of the score today was fed by his teammates, with Nemhard having 6 assists and Siakam having 5 assists! Even substitute McConnell G4 can instigate an offensive climax of 41 points leading in the first half. This is the horror of the walker - being able to pass, running, and defend! The Pacers ranked third in assists in the regular season, second only to the Nuggets and the Hawks, and directly topped the playoffs.

The Eastern Conference Finals are likely to be against the Knicks, and they will probably look very good at the tip of the head against Maimang. Thibodeau's coaching style is like a "venomous snake". He slowly grinds his opponent by winning by defense, and is good at fighting against the wind. The "Five Donkeys Tactics" came from his own hands. Lakers coach Redick also followed suit, but he had to do so without understanding the meaning! What Carlisle is best at is "using softness to overcome hardness", emphasizing that all players participate in the offense and paying attention to conducting balls and space! Who will laugh to the end of this collision of "spear and shield"?

What strategies and offenses will Carlisle formulate when facing Thibodeau's "Iron Barrel Formation"? Let’s talk about it below. If you have different opinions, you can leave a message in the comment area to discuss!

The first point is to speed up and play fast. The Knicks positional battle relies on singles. The Pacers only need to maintain the offensive and defensive rhythm that is first in the league and use passes to drag down the opponent's physical strength.

The second point is to use wheel battles to consume. Brunson and Bridges and other main players basically played for 40 minutes. In contrast, the Pacers all scored in double digits in rotation for 7 people. McConnell and Toppin can run and break, and they specialize in playing against the Knicks' main players in the exhausted fourth quarter.

Finally, it follows G5's strategy of locking Mitchell, causing him to fall into singles and avoid regulating the team (G5 Brunson has 12 assists).

The Celtics, the number one hot seed, are also facing the risk of elimination. It is estimated that the Pacers will have no hope of revenge, but in the face of the East without the Celtics, I can tell you responsibly that there are almost no opponents. If the Eastern Conference Final passes, Carlisle's tactical reserves will definitely be the best in the face of the young Timberwolves or Thunder in the West. The Pacers' chance of winning the championship is at least 50%. How many people are optimistic about the Mavericks who imitated 2011? But what is the result?
