Player born for the finals! Two games 20+, 0 regular season games, Thunder coach: The beast is too fierce

On June 14, many fans probably already knew the result of the finals between the Thunder and the Pacers. After being suppressed by their opponents for a long time, they completed a reversal in the final quarter. Alexander scored 15 of the team's last 16 points and led the team to advance into Tianwang Mountain. Although many fans were not satisfied with the penalty in this game, in addition to the penalty, the performance of many players in this game is also worth talking about.

Let's talk about the Pacers first. Their role players tried their best in this game. Turner scored 12 points, Toppin scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, and McConaughey scored 8 points and 2 assists. Matherin did not perform well in this game. He gave his opponent free throws many times at critical moments, and he also made 1 of 4 free throws. However, he can't blame him for losing. He is a young player without enough experience. In the last game, he scored 27 points in the whole game and has made contributions to the team's winning.

The main reason for the team's loss in this game was that the two core players did not perform well. Halliburton scored 18 points and 7 assists. He often played too rationally. He should show the aggressiveness and game attitude of G3 in the series. Sika scored 14 points and 4 steals in the first half, and only scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in the game. When he needed to score in the fourth quarter, he stopped getting the ball and was not aggressive on the offensive end. He should stand up.

On the Thunder, their three young masters performed almost perfectly. Alexander scored 35 points, 3 rebounds and 3 steals. Although he had 0 assists in the game, this was not his problem. Many times the ball was passed, but he just couldn't make it. Jewe scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Jewe played the performance that the second in command should have. In the first three quarters, Alexander has been targeted by the key defense, so it was Jewe who stood up to lead the team forward.

Chet scored 14 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in the whole game, and got 4 frontcourt boards in the whole game. He sprained his ankle many times in this game, but he still did not go off the front line and even sent out key blocks. Although his ability to confront is not good, his star temperament is not enough, and his ability to fight tough battles is also commendable. As we all know, whoever plays well in the substitute of both sides in the past few games will win. In this game, the Thunder's overall substitute performance is still inferior to the Pacers, but Caruso relies on his outstanding performance to narrow the gap in the rotation lineup between the two sides.

Caruso made 7 of 9 shots in the game, made 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 steals and 1 block. Caruso gave the team too many surprises. He even made a ball breakthrough in this game many times. He could stand up when the team needed to score. This is the performance that a veteran with experience in the finals should have. He knew when to do what. If he hadn't performed well on both offense and defense, the Thunder would have collapsed long ago.

This is not the first game Caruso performed so well. It can be said that Caruso is indispensable for both games won by the Thunder in the Finals. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the series G2, and scored 20+ in two games in the Finals. He scored 20+ in 0 games in the regular season, and he became the first player in history to achieve 20+ in 0 games in the regular season, but he scored 20+ twice in the playoffs. His shooting percentage was more than 70% in a single game of 20 points and 5, which is also the second in history. The previous one was the 76ers legend Chicks.

Caruso is simply a player born for such a big scene in the finals. He has averaged 14.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.5 steals per game in the entire finals, with a shooting percentage of up to 54.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of up to 50%, and averaging 2.5 three-point shooting percentage. He has performed very well. You should know that in the regular season, he averaged 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 35%.

Due to Caruso's poor performance on the offensive end during the regular season, many fans even questioned that Caruso should not have renewed his contract with more than 80 million yuan earlier. Now everyone should know why the Thunder was willing to give it to him early. His performance in the playoffs is not even inferior to the core players of many teams. For example, Halliburton has only scored more than 20 points in one game in the entire finals, and Sika has only two games.

After the game, the Thunder posted photos of Alexander and Jewish. They said: We have two players born for big scenes. To be honest, there are more than two players born for big scenes, and Caruso can also be considered. After today's game, Dagnot talked about Caruso's performance in an interview. He said: He is obviously a competitive beast, which is obvious. He is in excellent condition today and is too fierce.

In the next game, Caruso's performance is also crucial. After all, the Thunder are disadvantageous in the face of the Pacers' substitutes. Although they have an advantage in the starting lineup, they need Caruso to narrow the gap between the two teams' substitutes. In terms of their performance so far in the finals, Caruso is definitely trustworthy in the next game. Having said that, what do you want to say about Caruso?
