Pacers missed an excellent opportunity, referee s penalty caused controversy, how the Thunder counterattack to seize dominance

On the stage of this year's NBA Finals, the showdown between the Thunder and the Pacers is full of countless suspense and highlights. The performance of the two teams is almost evenly matched, but there are many exciting and controversial moments. From the Thunder's strong start to the Pacers' unexpected defeat in G4, this battle for the championship is destined not to be simple.

The most eye-catching turning point: Why did Pacers miss the opportunity in Tianwang Mountain?

Pacers had the chance to get match points in G4 and even brought the series back to home court, but the sudden referee penalty caused widespread controversy. A game criticized by the outside world as "Foster Black Whistle" not only changed the score, but also directly made the Pacers miss the precious opportunity to lead. Instead, the Thunder took the opportunity to counterattack and gained the dominance of the finals. You know, the Pacers were leading 2-1 before, and everyone felt that they were one step closer to the championship. Who would have thought that the penalty deviation on the field directly reversed the situation. In the end, the Thunder won the match point after G4, and the scene of the tiebreak battle began.

FMVP battle: The two stars of Thunder and Pacers

So, who will eventually win the ownership of FMVP? If the Thunder finally wins the championship trophy, there is no doubt that the FMVP trophy will be won by Alexander. Although Jewe also had amazing performances - in the three games between G3 and G5, he scored more than 26 points in a single game, and even had a stellar performance of 40 points, overall, his stability cannot be compared with Alexander. Jewe's performance was like a roller coaster ride - he had highlights and embarrassing downturns. In G6, his plus-negative value reached an astonishing -40, setting the lowest record in NBA Finals history.

Alexander's stability and the ups and downs: The difference between the two is obvious

From the content of the competition, Alexander's stability is the most decisive factor. From the playoffs to the finals, he averaged 30.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage remained at 47%, showing his extraordinary level as the team leader. In contrast, although Jewish occasionally bursts out with amazing scoring ability in the game, his condition is unstable, his offensive methods are relatively single, and he relies more on forced breakthroughs in singles, and there are no more changing techniques to create easy shooting opportunities for himself, which also makes him often in trouble when facing high-intensity defense.

Alexander's strength is that he has a rich offensive method, extremely efficient shooting at close and middle distance, and he has outstanding performance on the free throw line and can stand on the free throw line by creating fouls at critical moments. However, despite this, his biggest weakness was exposed quite clearly - he was almost invincible when the wind was going smoothly, but once he encountered adversity or the referee failed to give him enough whistle support, his desire to attack would drop sharply, which is also the gap between him and the great players in history (such as James, Kobe, etc.). Another hero of the Pacers: Siakam's low-key contribution

If the Pacers eventually counterattack to win the championship, then the winner of the FMVP should be Siakam, not Halliburton. Although Halliburton is the Pacers' leader, Siakam is their most stable scoring and defensive core. In the first six finals, Siakam averaged 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and he played a huge role in both offense and defense. His all-round performance helped the Pacers gain a certain advantage when facing strong enemies. In contrast, Halliburton, although he had several final performances at critical moments, his overall data and efficiency were never comparable to Siakam. Especially when the game enters a decisive moment, Halliburton often lacks the explosive power to decide the outcome.

The ending is not decided: The battle of fate in tiebreak 7

No matter who will win the final FMVP, the battle of tiebreak will undoubtedly become the key to the outcome. If the Pacers can perform a miracle in the tiebreak, Halliburton may have the chance to change the trend of the entire series with a buzzer-beating victory and become one of the greatest tiebreak heroes in history. After all, in the history of the NBA, "quasi-kill" like Jordan is difficult to replicate, let alone show an overwhelming ability to win at critical moments like tiebreakers. Therefore, if Halliburton can really stage such a shocking battle, he will not only change the fate of the game, but also change the trajectory of his entire career.

However, the possibility of all this seems not to be great. Overall, the Thunder seem to be more likely to laugh to the end with their strong home advantage and Alexander's stable performance. Even if the Pacers perform miraculously, Thunder should not be underestimated. After all, their overall strength has proved their competitiveness that cannot be ignored.

Conclusion: The afterglow of the finals and the expectations for the future

In the end, the ownership of FMVP will be announced in the fierce game, but this final has undoubtedly allowed fans to enjoy an unparalleled basketball feast. No matter who finally wins the championship trophy, every moment of the game is full of passion and suspense, especially the controversial punishments and the performance of the players, which makes this final a topic of talk about. In the next few years, this showdown between the Thunder and the Pacers will become a classic and deserves the memory of every basketball fan.
