3-3 draw, a bad final! Pacers won a big victory and revenge, Alexander made 21 points and 8 mistakes

On June 20, the NBA Finals G6 started, and this year's finals cycle has been delayed for a long time. It has been three weeks since the division finals were completed to G6. According to the US media, the league expects seamless connection between the finals + drafts + trading markets and gradually becomes a reality. In the first five games, the Thunder led the Pacers 3-2. Judging from the predictions given by the US media "BR", the Thunder's probability of winning the championship is 95.5%, and the suspense of the championship this year is getting smaller and smaller. In the last game between the two teams, Halliburton, as the core of the Pacers, had 0 of his right calf injury + ankle injury in the whole game and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. His sluggish performance was pushed to the forefront. He lacked more effective means on the offensive end, and his continuous winning shots could not be covered up.

And on the Thunder, Jewe's outbreak in the finals became the biggest surprise, with averaging 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in the first five games, and Alexander's all-round performance of 32.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. These two helped the team set a high lower limit. Of course, there are also some controversy in the verdict. G4 is a typical example. The Thunder won that game and became an important turning point in the finals. Before the game, Pacers coach Carlisle said in an interview that Halliburton will play in G6, and there is no playing time limit, so it is confirmed that he will play with injury. Although Halliburton's scoring fluctuated greatly, the On-Off value in the first five games of the finals was +11.1, which was indispensable to the Pacers.

But the process of this game was far unexpected! At the beginning, the Thunder entered the state early, Harten made a tip-in, Homgren picked up the basket, Jewe made a layup + breakout dunk, and the three teams joined forces to score a 10-2 climax. But the situation took a sharp turn since then. Sika made continuous strong attacks, and cooperated with Nemhard's three-pointer rain, and the Pacers instantly overtook. It was the turn of the tie and the three-pointer rain in the middle. The Thunder either made a mistake or made a blacksmith, and Halliburton also continued to make a three-pointer. Wiggins and Alexander chased scores in a row in the second half, and the Pacers 28-25 in the first quarter. Entering the second quarter, McConnell and Jewe competed in singles. After Halliburton broke the balance with a three-pointer, Bradley and Nesmith continued to expand the gap, and Homgren could deduct even the simple all-in contact!

Inside Smith continued to bloom inside and outside in the second half, and Halliburton made a long three-pointer unreasonable. After that, Sika picked a basket + dunked Jewish, Halliburton made a layup. At the end of the half, the Pacers 64-42 Thunder. In the whole first half, the Thunder had 3 assists and the Pacers had 13! Entering the second half, the two teams took turns to make a splash. After more than three minutes of the game, Halliburton's layup broke the scoring drought, and the Thunder called a timeout again! After the timeout, Turner dunked + Shepard made a layup, and the Thunder could no longer hold it. The mid-range pickup continued to make three-pointers, and the Thunder relied on the substitute's sporadic firepower support. In the second half, Nemhad and Sika made a three-pointer rain. Toping and Shepard's three-pointers were added to the fire at the end of the quarter. After the third quarter, the Thunder 60-90 Pacers.

The entire fourth quarter became garbage time. The Thunder seemed to have given up the game early and replaced five substitutes directly. Caruso, the sixth man in the team, also clocked in early and got off work. He played for 22 minutes, had 0 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, and lost 33 points on the court! The final score was frozen at 108-91, and the Thunder substitutes recovered some points difference, but the Pacers tied the big score 3-3, and the two sides fought to tie the seventh!

Thunder data, Alexander scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 mistakes, Jewe scored 16 points and 3 rebounds, and a net loss of 40 points on the court; Harten scored 10 points and 4 rebounds, and Homgren scored 4 points and 6 rebounds. The Thunder have three more serious problems, many mistakes, all of which are fighting alone, and there is no help from the referee, so their ability to go against the wind is too poor. The team's two core cores are completely different from home and away games. They can't do basic franchise protection well and have no stance in their three-pointers. It's hard to imagine that such a team will become the biggest favorite to win the championship this season. In the tiebreak battle, Thunder pushed himself into a desperate situation again. If the Thunder wanted to play tiebreak directly, this performance in this game was indeed poor, but it was very simple for the league to delay the tiebreak, and it would be just a normal call!

Pacers data, Halliburton scored 14 points and 5 assists, McConnell scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, Sika scored 16 points and 13 rebounds, Nesmith scored 10 points, Nemhard scored 17 points, 4 assists and 3 steals, and Tot scored 20 points and 6 rebounds. First of all, the Pacers team is very tough, Halliburton persists with injuries, but in this life-and-death battle, all the substitutes stood up, Nemhard found a three-pointer, McConnell took Topic with Shepard, and averaged 15 points in the connection stage. To be realistic, as long as the referee's dictation standards can keep both sides consistent, the Pacers' competitiveness is stronger than the Thunder. But Halliburton's calf injury is still a hidden danger. We look forward to the battle of the 23rd, so that the Pacers can have a clear conscience.
