Halliburton wants to copy the miracle of King No in 2011, Alexander tells him not to think it is too beautiful

Who was the last one who fell behind 15 points in the fourth quarter of the finals but won the final?

The answer is the Dallas Mavericks coached by Enrique Carlisle. In the distant 2011, the opponent is the Heat Big Three. At that time, the Mavericks' odds of winning were not as good as those of the Pacers this year, but the results were surprising.

Now, the winners and losses of the two games are hard to tell. The Thunder lost a home game, and the second game was completely out of the way. Alexander handed over an unsolvable personal offensive answer, and no one in the Pacers could limit him.

Alexander is not Brunson, Nesmith and Insider Hard cannot find defensive opportunities through their height advantages, and Alexander can better allow the referee to see more defensive actions that are not conducive to him. After all, the treatment of the new MVP is self-evident.

Pacers have two home courts next, and it is not impossible for them to take the initiative, but the process is too difficult. It is so difficult that there are almost no possibilities. His opponents have the advantage in terms of physical talent and playing style. Unless the bench runs out of the way, or someone scores 40 points.

The Pacers' biggest advantage in offensive end Siakam's misaligned attack, which is difficult to work under the Thunder's mobility assisted defense and pinched card swiping. In the finals, he met the second most powerful inside assisted defense besides Giannis. Although Chet performed averagely on the offensive end, his penalty area protected by Harten was unbreakable, and this alone restricted the Pacers' main position attack. There is no solution at present.

The Pacers were able to reverse the first game, and another basic condition was their rebounding advantage. Taking advantage of the Thunder's small lineup, especially when Joe and Mitchell were there, the Pacers grabbed more rebounds and 17 more rebounds in the game. This is the root cause of their final smoothing out the gap through continuous three-pointers.

In the second game, the Thunder learned their lesson and firmly controlled the rebound. The Pacers had no more opportunities for second attacks and counterattacks. Their second lineup dropped sharply, and the score difference was widened in the second and third quarters.

Of course, the most important thing is the showdown between the stars. Alexander averaged 30+ undifferentiated firepower output in the first two finals, while Halliburton could only score through the ball-holding and the occasional three-pointer with open space. The two have qualitative differences in stability and output, and this is also the biggest problem of the two teams.

After all, the ball is more in the hands of two defenders. The Pacers cannot create more low-post offensive opportunities for Siakam. His own passing ability is limited, and the Thunder will not give opportunities easily, so they can only rely on Halliburton to break the situation.

Haliburton must give a 20+10 performance in the next game to change the Thunder's defense, drive teammates to run, and win in chaos, rather than spending positions with the Thunder.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Pacers can really limit Alexander, even if they try double-teams? After all, Carlisle must understand that he is not the player who couldn't beat Barrea at a low post in 2011.

The algorithm engineers of the bookmaker are by no means a futile reputation, and Thunder's winning odds are indeed getting bigger and bigger. This is an irrefutable fact, and the walker is in danger!
