The Shuangtaqi Strategy and the MVP Redemption: Thunder G4 Transformation

The lights at the Indiana Banker Life Arena are a bit dazzling. Haltenstein tied his shoelaces tightly and looked up at the scoreboard - he fell behind by 8 points, and only played for 5 minutes in the first quarter. The 2.16-meter center never expected that he would return to the starting lineup after three games, but he received a "welcoming ceremony" with four consecutive three-pointers from the Pacers.

"They are like installing radar," Thunder assistant coach Chicks muttered as he bit the tactical board. Coach Dagnott, who was on the sidelines, held his hands in his chest, his expression under his sunglasses was elusive. The young coach's decision to change the lineup before the game is undergoing a cruel test: Is the speed of restarting the two towers against the Pacers? Is it the right medicine or the emergency treatment? The

The broadcast footage captured a subtle detail: When the Pacer hit the fourth three-pointer, Carlisle secretly compared the "V" gesture to the assistant coach. This old coach who led the Mavericks to win the championship in 2011 seems to have broken the Thunder's tactical manual. "They thought they could win if they got bigger? "Carlisle smiled and revealed the secret after the game, "But we have 128 ways to crack the double towers. "

However, the plot on the basketball court is always bolder than the screenwriter. At the beginning of the second quarter, Jaylen Williams ignited the Thunder bench with a dunk. This young man, who was called "J-Dub" by fans, was like a beast awakened at this moment, and he succeeded in three consecutive singles. "When the whole world is staring at SGA," TNT commentator Reggie Miller sighed, "There will always be an unknown hero. "

Controversy will never miss the finals. Caruso's quick attack was intercepted, and Toppin's malicious foul was like pressing the switch, instantly detonating the conflict between the two teams. Slow motion shows the Pacers forward secretly pulling Caruso's trousers while falling to the ground. "I thought I was playing rugby," Caruso showed scratches on his thigh after the game. When the referee watched the video, the conflicting screen was repeatedly played on the scene with a large screen, and each replay triggered a boo of higher decibels. The third section of

belongs to Toping. This front line with a retro explosion head scored 8 points in 90 seconds, including two three-pointers and a one-dunk dunk across Homegren. When he made a "too small" gesture to the Thunder bench, the ceiling of the stadium was almost overturned by sound. "I was almost deaf at that time," Pacer rookie Walker rubbed his ears and recalled, "But it was so exciting! "

But the real script only unfolded in the last quarter. When the timer reached the last 5 minutes, Alexander finally tore off the "body whistle" tag. That three-pointer in the back made Nesmith fall two meters away. Although the slow motion showed suspected walking, the referee's whistle was still firm. In the next round, he used his signature round to bid farewell to the defender who graduated from the six fouls. "This is the ugly art of MVP," Barkley, who watched the game on the sidelines, shook his head, "but it works. "

The final whistle and the Thunder bench flocked to the court, the technical station was repeatedly checking the penalty report for the last two minutes. The booed the Pacers fans and the beer cans flew together, and Alexander had already entered the player's passage. There was a note in his closet, which was written by himself after the G3 game: "Either evolve or go home."

This victory tied the series to 2-2, but left more suspense: Is the Twin Towers lineup the ultimate answer to the Thunder or a temporary painkiller? When will Halliburton get the respect of the referee? Most importantly, when basketball is no longer just about scoring more points than who scores more, but whose story is more touching, which team do you prefer to cheer for?

On the team bus back to the hotel, coach Dagenot turned on his laptop and the screen was a tactical sketch of the G5. Outside the window, several young fans wearing Halliburton jerseys were still chasing the bus, and their shouts were vaguely heard: "The next game will be true!"
