Three things that Tianwangshan has to say: Jaylenway wants to grab the FMVP, Halliburton s injury is the foreshadowing!

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain ended. The Thunder finally defeated the Pacers 120-109. Jaylenway, who scored 40 points alone, completely overshadowed Alexander and Halliburton. Especially Halliburton, not only did he lose his sports war, but he was also attacked by injuries, laying the groundwork for the direction of the remaining two games.

Data shows that in the past 25 years, the teams that won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain 2-2, had a winning rate of 77.8%. The Battle of the Heavenly King gave us the following three views:

Jaylenway had the idea of ​​snatching FMVP!

Jaylenway made 14 of 25 shots (3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws) in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, scored 40 points, plus 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. It is worth mentioning that all three three-pointers were tough shots against the defense. This player who had never scored more than 20 in the game in the first two seasons of college actually broke through himself in three consecutive games on the stage of the finals, with 26 points, 27 points, and 40 points. No wonder some fans said bluntly: "Alexander's FMVP is hanging"!

The history of the finals has so far, there are many players who score 40+ points, but there is no one who takes 35 minutes than Jaylenway, Antetokounmpo and Kobe take 38 minutes, Booker takes 39 minutes, and Irving and Jordan take 40 minutes.

Thunder's suffocating defense continued throughout the game!

Homegren only scored a pitiful 9 points and had poor offensive efficiency (4 of 15 shots), but he grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, sent 3 blocks, and 1 steal. In fact, his contribution on the defensive end cannot be reflected by data. His remedial and assistive ability are top-notch, which greatly reduced Siakam and Halliburton's offense. Another inside player, Harten, also grabbed 6 offensive rebounds, contributing 1 steal and 1 block.

In addition to the "Two Towers", Wallace, Caruso, Alexander and Doult played the role of "robbers" on the defensive end, giving out a total of 12 steals, especially after the Pacers approached the score to 2 points in the last quarter, the Thunder completed 5 steals in 7 rounds, and scored three times into a conversion score, locking the victory 18-4 with this wave.

Halliburton's injury laid the groundwork for the series!

Halliburton scored in a critical battle of Kings Mountain. Although he gave 6 assists, he made 3 mistakes. The contactless calf injury will have a significant impact on the passer master. Do you still remember how the Thunder dealt with Murray? There is no doubt that this will be the X factor for the remaining two games.

Fortunately, during Halliburton's injury, McConnell stood up. In 22 minutes, he efficiently scored 18 points, and also sent 4 assists and 2 steals. Among them, 13 points were obtained in the third quarter, which shocked the Thunder's cold sweat.

In fact, McConnell performed very well in five games in the finals, with an average of 11.2 points, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game, which is the most stable part of the rotation lineup.
