It was a reversal again, and the young men of Pacers were using their actions to prove to the league that "their era has officially arrived."
Alexander smiled and said, "Is basketball in the new era? I want to see that in front of my Alex's punishment, all "conspiracy" has become empty talk!"
But this is a later story. As the Pacers won another away game, the entire league finally saw the background of this young army clearly - they did not rely on luck, but on the adaptive tactical system and team cooperation.
As Siakam said: "We are a team and don't care who will score. Everyone wants to win."
Because of this, so many people have stood up at critical moments, G1's Nesmith (20 points in a single quarter), Halliburton; G2's Siakam and Nat (13 points in the final quarter), although Halliburton only scored 14 points, his 11 assists are still the key to connecting the entire team! The team's 11 players rotated and 6 players scored in double digits. If the Pacers win the championship this year, then Claire is probably going to be a god.
The most correct point that Thibodeau did in this game was to give Knicks substitute center Miro more playing time (29 minutes) than starting Towns (27 minutes), but success and defeat! It is also because of Thibodeau's persistence that Miro played for 14 minutes without rest. In the fourth quarter, his physical strength overdrawn and rebounding efficiency were greatly reduced, allowing the Pacers to score 33 points and completely lose the game!
Miro scored 6 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, and the frontcourt rebounds were even more active, which indeed restricted the Pacers' counterattack fast break to a certain extent.
Thibodore is like this. If you see who is useful, just be a "donkey", such as Bridges, G2 substitute center Miro. This problem needs to be changed, and you have to be more at ease when it is easy to use, otherwise you will be reversed if your physical strength cannot keep up in the last quarter!
The Pacers' strategy is very simple, letting Brunson (10 points in the last quarter, almost knocking the Pacers out of the way) to death. When Brunson held the ball, the Pacers used Nesmith and Anunobi to consume the rounds and cut off their connection with Hart and Bridges; once he got out of the field, substitutes such as Payne and McBride were not organized and their offense was completely paralyzed. In contrast, the Pacers, Halliburton G2 only scored 14 points but gave 11 assists to completely activate the entire team. Substitutes such as McConnell and Shepard were seamlessly connected, and the team's offense was as omnipresent as mercury.
Tibodeau's seven-player rotation and dead-fighting main force mode exposed fatal flaws in G2: Miro's physical strength collapsed in the last quarter, Towns' defensive loopholes were amplified, while Carlisle rotated eleven people to "disrupt" with chaos, Toppin, McConnell, and Shepard took turns to play, making the Knicks' defensive strategy lose one thing.
If the Knicks want to win the game, they must abandon the "5 donkey tactics" and find the "general" from the bench to give the main force time to rest and recover their physical fitness. Otherwise, the Pacers who play at home in G3 will make you feel what real despair is!
And who will become Claire's new "Shock" in G3?
1. Nath G2 has the potential to be called a surprise weapon in the last quarter.
2. Shepard made 2 of 3 three-pointers in G2, which felt good. If G3 gave him enough playing time, he might have a chance.
3. Toppin averaged 8.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs. If the G3 Knicks are on the height, Toppin may be a good choice.
If the Pacers and the Knicks are compared to cars, the former is more like a new century sports car, fast and has many ideas; while the latter is more like an old steam car, traditional, classic, tireless! The competition between the two sides is no longer limited to the competition between the teams, but is more like a collision of new and old coaching concepts.
