The Pacers won as expected, but unexpectedly ended the competition in the form of an "exhibition match". After 9 years of tiebreak battle, although the result was finally revealed, this feeling was not satisfactory, as if there was an invisible hand behind it controlling everything - Xiao Hua, I was really convinced!
Judging from the game data, the Thunder's 21 mistakes are indeed not worthy of winning the game. When they were 30 points behind in the fourth quarter, they actually came on as a substitute! This is so irresponsible for those fans who have traveled thousands of miles to support you. This is the finals, a crucial battle for the O'Brien Cup, and he actually gave up like this? Do you think that with the support of the league, the tiebreak battle is destined to win?
As a popular team for the championship, the Thunder has top stars such as regular season MVP Alexander, first defense (Dolt), second defense (Jerwei), and 30 points behind their opponents at the end of the third quarter. They relied on substitutes to catch up to 17 points in the last quarter, which is really unbelievable! Is this to return to the home court to sell tickets, and even want to face it?
Halliburton still played in an injury situation, shooting 5 of 12 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and contributing 1 rebound and 5 assists in a limited time. Compared to 0 of the previous sports game 6, G6 is obviously fully prepared. Whether it is attitude or defensive strength, the Pacers are obviously worthy of this victory. At the end of the half, the Pacers made 8 steals, forcing the Thunder to make 12 mistakes, which was a reversal. It felt like the Pacers got the wrong script at the beginning!
McConnell continued to maintain a good state, making 5 of 8 shots after three quarters, scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, fully sharing Halliburton's organization and scoring tasks. Toppin scored the highest score of 20 points in the team, especially when Halliburton and McConnell were not on the court in the final quarter, he changed from a 3D player to a key player in the offense with the ball. He played various singles and turned jump shots, contributing 5 points in 5 minutes, curbing the Thunder substitute’s counterattack!
In fact, the game was basically over in the first three quarters. Faced with the 30-point gap, the Thunder went directly to the bench in the fourth quarter, and the originally tense and exciting finals turned into a team practice match. Think about the 2016 Cavs and the 2010 Yellow and Green Battle, but this year's finals seem so easy, and there are also reasons for the low ratings! You should look for problems more from yourself, rather than forcing a 7-7 victory for the sake of ratings and tickets. The audience is not fools. They are not only concerned with the suspense of the game, but also the competition and strong showdown between the two sides. The finals are not even as exciting as the playoffs, which is really disappointing! After the game, Su Qun bluntly stated the reason for the Thunder’s failure: "The Thunder is still the same as the regular season, while the Pacers are growing, their defense is more targeted, and their desire to win and lose is stronger than the Thunder. The Thunder just thinks that the champion will fall from the sky!" This sentence hits the nail on the head and points out the core issue. Alexander is not not strong enough. He can tell his strength by helping the Thunder to top the league in the regular season, but such a player is unwilling to hone his skills well. Instead, he always wants to rely on the league's favor to take shortcuts (free throws). Even if he wins the championship in the end, he may not be proud.
