At the age of 33, he led the team to lead the Thunder 2-1. How far is the Pacers from the championship?

When 33-year-old McConaughey stood on the floor of the Finals, who remembers that he was the NBA's smallest palm undraft? G1+G2 scored 9 of 13 shots and scored 20 points. G3 used 6 points, 4 assists and 3 breaks in the first half to disrupt the Thunder defense line. The Pacers' substitute group crushed 30-11, how could it look like a team that was not favored? When the score of 64-60 was frozen at the end of the first half, everyone was shocked: Could this dark horse really be so dark?
Many foreign media disclosed on the 13th that the Pacers can lead the first half in the finals all rely on McConaughey's tireless mad dog-style defense. You should know that the Thunder's regular season defense efficiency is the first in the league. He just overtook the attack with a 29-20 offensive in the third quarter, but suddenly the offense and defense were powered off in the final quarter - was it because of the physical strength or the mentality of the panic? It is reported that the Thunder coaching staff warned the players when adjusting the midfield: "Don't let the Pacers find the rhythm." However, Alexander scored 6 mistakes in just 24 points in 20 shots. How can he win this core performance?
What's more dramatic is McConaughey's explosive data with 10 points, 5 assists and 5 interruptions in 15 minutes! The Pacers have 20+, Halliburton is a quasi-double, Mathering scores 27 points, and the bench is like a chicken blood. On the other hand, Chett's 20+10 is normal, and Jewe's 26 points is considered a hit, but Alexander made 6 mistakes and directly handed over the ball. Speaking of which, when the referee on duty missed McConaughey and Siakam returned, the Thunder's bench jumped up - the home whistle is blown, can there be a fair whistle in the G4 next?
The Pacers are now leading 2-1 with the match point, and the championship trophy is really waving to them. But don't forget that the Thunder is the Western Conference champion after all, and Alexander will never be willing to be swept. If the Pacers can win the G4 at home, the first miracle of leading the team to win the championship in history will be staged; but if the Thunder regained their defensive intensity, this series of games will probably return to the starting point - what step can this dark horse go?
