Harry s Souls Pacers won the team battle, and the tiebreak battle will appear again after 9 years of the finals

Basketball

The finals were back in Indianapolis again, and the Pacers had actually stood on the edge of the cliff. Before the

G6 game, there were some general concerns about the Pacers' situation. First, it is how far Halliburton's leg injury has reached, whether he can persist in playing, and whether he will continue his difficulties and sluggishness in playing field.

Secondly, even the tactical master Carlisle encountered a bottleneck in lineup adjustment after losing Tianwang Mountain.

On the other hand, Alexander successfully escaped from the meat grinder-style battle situation. G5, Jaylen Williams, the second in command, stood up and scored 40 points, sharing a considerable proportion of the offensive burden.

Under this background, the home ticket price of the Pacers G6 was cut in half, and some people even worried that In the city would suddenly collapse in G6.

The first quarter started, and the trend in the first 4 minutes of the game did echo this concern. The Thunder opened fire as soon as they came up. They took advantage of their size and focused on attacking the three-second zone with one goal, and hit 5 goals in a row. On the Pacers, although Halliburton insisted on making a appearance, judging from the beginning, the impact of the leg injury on his explosive power and his offensive rate is still visible to the naked eye.

But in this year's playoffs, facts have proved more than once that any contempt and underestimation of the Pacers, any slackness in the game against Inn is foolish.

Just as the Thunder were freezing Halliburton for the opening stage and forced the Pacers to stop the Pacers' sports war. In the walker formation, someone suddenly stood up.

First it was Siakam, who once again showed his strengths of attack and misalignment, and pulled off the Pacers' sports battle score seal through a jump shot and a difficult 2+1. Then, the offensive scenes moved to Nemhard. He suddenly showed explosive scoring power in a short period of time, with two three-pointers and a breakthrough layup, and actually stopped the Thunder in a silent place. The lead at the opening game disappeared instantly, and it was just the beginning of the Thunder's disaster in this game.

Next, the Pacers' further changes were unexpected by the Thunder. In the middle of this quarter, after Nemhard scored 8 points in a row, the Pacers started their first personnel adjustment. But the strange thing is that Carlisle did not let Halliburton get off the court early to recover his injured leg, but instead replaced Nemhard, who was in a hot position, and activated two rear-court engines, McConnell and Halliburton.

Theoretically, such adjustments are very risky, especially on the defensive end. Halliburton and McConnell are likely to become weak spots targeted by their opponents, and the Pacers' size disadvantages are likely to be further exposed.

But Carlisle's depth of looking at the problem is obviously not something that those "ordinary people" can achieve. Just as the audience members were still wondering, Yincheng's dual point guard system had begun to operate smoothly and had amazing results. Relying on the smooth sharing of the ball from the outside, the Pacers continued to easily obtain the projection space. Toping seized the opportunity and made two consecutive three-pointers to get a knife and make a very easy move.

McConnell also once again outputted strong emotional value, which was his two consecutive assists and scored three-pointers. The second three-pointer was his signature on-site counterattack in the frontcourt, which in turn created Toppin's scoring opportunity. More importantly, when McConnell continued to steal the show, Halliburton could finally enjoy a while of stroke, and finally had room to adjust his breathing and adjust his game rhythm. It was precisely this short adjustment that allowed him to make a top three-pointer and release the psychological burden accumulated on his body little by little...

So, entering the second quarter, people re-see Halliburton, who can attack and pass, walk lightly and think actively. His three-pointer feeling was recovered, and his breakthrough shooting skills were also gradually recovering. Before the end of the half, after a shot, he scored in double digits.

The more stunning clip appeared in the last minute of the half, when Halliburton first alertly cut off Jaylen Williams' pass, and then he dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. Then, when he realized that the defenders were focusing on themselves, Harry suddenly turned around and didn't look at the pass, and directly found Siakam who was about to go down. Once the ball was advanced, the Pacers had already led to 20 points...

Not only was the wild attack back, but the Pacers' strength was also unbelievable on the defensive end. In the first half, they forced the Thunder into 12 mistakes, but only allowed the opponent to send 3 assists. It can be said that under the strangle of the Pacers, the Thunder's conventional offensive routine was lost without a trace, and the dual-core Alexander and Jaylen were completely reduced to isolated island existences.

Entered the second half, and the Pacers came up and defended the Thunder for another 4 minutes without scoring. After playing in the third quarter, the score difference had reached an exaggerated 30 points.

The Thunder failed to resolve the battle within 6 games and could only drag the series into the final tiebreak. Therefore, the suspense of the title became unpredictable again. It should be noted that the last time the finals were tiebreakers or the soul-stirring cavalry battle in 2016. In other words, people have not seen each other in such a final match for 9 years...
