On June 16, NBA Pacers coach Carlisle was interviewed by the US media and publicly talked about the G5 Tianwangshan battle with the Thunder tomorrow: "

This will be the most intense battle between the two sides in the finals series. After all, now we are on the same starting line again. The Thunder has the advantage of home games. Alexander performed very well in the entire series. He will definitely lead the team to play more crazy tomorrow. We must upgrade the defense against him, otherwise it will be more difficult!"

"We are not afraid of going away because we have won a victory at their home court. The chances are equal for both sides now, but we must improve the intensity of the defensive end tomorrow and reduce the turnover rate. Obviously, whoever grasps the details of this game will win! "

"I told Halliburton and Siakam and others that you must fully play your dominant moment and actively fight against the Thunder. Every point on the finals stage will not be so easy to get. The Thunder is a team with very balanced offense and defense. We must focus on the game for 48 minutes throughout the game, and we cannot have any slack moments!"
