Caruso scored 20 points and 5 points to steal the show FMVP? After 2-2, the suspense of the finals was completely full

G4's home defeat made Pacers fans tremble slightly with their hands holding their phones - after watching the last second of the finals G4, the score was frozen at the Thunder 111-104 Pacers. The score was tied 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line, but the process of this game was really distressing.

Let's talk about the most heartbreaking part first: Matherin, who was teased by a reporter from Jinzhou, just as G3 performed a 27-point surprise performance, G4 was directly "off the power". In the 14-minute game, he only scored 1 three-pointer with two shots, 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 mistake; what's even more outrageous is that he stood on the free throw line in four key stages of the last quarter, and he only scored 1 free throw. This operation made the commentator scratch his head: "Where did G3's impulse go? "

Who should I blame this? Maybe you have to hand the microphone to Paul George. After G3, George recorded a podcast and praised Mathering as "like Wade", saying that he was "stable in the middle distance, hard in the body, and had a sense of smell." As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Mathurin made 1 of 4 free throws + lost the field, and chose the latter between "Little Wade" and "Eastern Kumingga". It’s not that George’s rainbow fucks people, but he was suddenly put in the spotlight while still in the rookie contract. His mentality is really hard to get through - after all, the intensity of the finals is more than one level higher than the regular season.

But Mathering only played 14 minutes in this game, and the Pacers' loss must not be blamed entirely. In the first three quarters, the Pacers who played at home actually kept fighting against the Thunder, and they were still 7 points ahead at the end of the third quarter. At that time, the Pacers fans on the sidelines were all happy: "You can reverse if you fall behind by 20 points, but you are not stable at the lead by 7 points?" Who would have thought that the fourth quarter would change directly. How outrageous is the attack in the fourth quarter of the Pacers? 9 people played, and made 8 shots outside the three-point line. They made only 4 of 12 shots in the sports game, and only scored 17 points in a single quarter. This is not a playoff level offense? It's like a novice village player is training in shooting. What's even more terrible is that the defense collapsed - the Thunder made 7 of 12 shots in the last quarter, and Alexander scored crazily in the last 5 minutes. Chet grabbed three offensive rebounds against Turner's defense, which directly turned into a key 6-point goal. The child is as thin as a bamboo pole, with a plus-minus value of +16 in the last quarter, tied for the highest in the game with Alexander.

But the Thunder were not much better - they made 3 of 16 three-pointers, with a 19% shooting percentage since the start of the finals. If the Pacers hadn't "gifted a big gift" themselves, how could the Thunder be reversed? To put it bluntly, this victory is somewhat "lucky Buff".

But having a personal performance is definitely not based on luck - Caruso. This guy played 30 minutes, made 7 of 9 shots and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 steals, welding the value of the "champion old fried dough stick" to his forehead. It was said before that Harten was going to compete for the "Iguodala Award", but Kahuang proved with practical actions that veterans can understand the Mamba style!

Look at the coach's fighting again. Dagnot finally stopped being obsessed with "one big and four small" in this game, and put Harten back on the starting lineup. The adjustment proved to be effective - although Harten only played 3 minutes and 09 seconds at the critical moment, he grabbed 2 rebounds and scored 2 points, which was much better than his substitute Wallace. However, Coach Dai still couldn't change his "smart" problem. In the fourth quarter, Chet had to let Wallace play when he was injured and retreated, but he had a mess again - this temper is probably a lot of fun in front of the tactical board.

The Pacers who lost the game are not without highlights. Halliburton leads the lead, Siakam takes the lead in charge, 5 players in the team score in double digits, and 3 players scores more than 15 points. This kind of cluster combat capability is top-notch for the entire league. Sika said it truthfully after the game: "We have won many away games. Next, we go to the Thunder's home court and do the previous things again. "

Now the big score is 2-2, and the Thunder have gotten back the home advantage, but everyone has seen the Pacers' resilience - they can reverse 20 points and capture multiple away games. They play this thing better than anyone else. In the next G5 and G6, will the Thunder take advantage of the victory or the Pacers fight back? This drama is just halfway through.

What is the most fascinating thing about basketball? Probably you never know what will happen in the next second. When Matherin holds the regret of 1 of 4 free throws, when Caruso holds the pride of 20 points and 5 steals, when Alexander scores the goal that killed the game in the final quarter - these moments tell us: the story of the finals is always worth looking forward to.
