Pacers forward star: Carlisle not only formulates tactics, but also reshapes the team s mentality

The NBA Finals G7, which determines the NBA championship this season, is about to start. As the war came, Indiana Pacers' forward star Pascal Siakam was interviewed by reporters after training. In the interview, he talked about the value of head coach Rick Carlisle to the team and the help of his finals experience.

When talking about the value of coach Carlisle, Siakam said: He is like our stabilizer. He not only carefully formulated our tactical system, but also reshaped the team's game mentality. Coach Carlisle can always wake up every player from a unique perspective. This special way of preparation allows us to fully release ourselves on the court. When talking about my experience in the finals, Siakam continued: "The most important thing this journey taught me is to cherish the stage of the moment. When you truly understand how difficult it is to come here, you will naturally be able to do it. When you win, you cannot be proud, and when you encounter failure, you cannot be discouraged. Basketball is like a microcosm of life, and there will be a peak. It is precisely because of this perception that I can focus on my job with a more peaceful attitude.

In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. The shooting percentage is 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage is 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage is 73.4%. So far in the playoffs, Siakam has played 3 games in the first 22 games. In the 3.3 minutes, the average number of 20.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.3 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, with 51.8% shooting percentage, 42.9% from three-point shooting percentage and 72.2% from free throw percentage.

Siakam performed very well in the playoffs. He performed quite well in almost every game. He had won the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals and he was also the Finals FM. The strong contender for VP. Of course, all this has to be based on the Pacers winning the finals. In the next G7, which determines life and death, Siakam's performance will also determine the team's competitiveness to a large extent. Then the question arises. Whether Siakam can stand up in the G7 to improve his performance, take on the role the team needs to play, and help the team improve their performance on both offense and defense. This is the key factor in the team's victory.
