Although the Pacers lost 16 points, they may be a strategic abandonment. The league will not allow 2-0, and the tactics will remain at home.

On June 9, although the Pacers lost the game, they were completely unhappy. They seemed to have no chance, but they did not strive to win. This is why the Thunder's smile was not so happy after the game. In the second game of the finals, the Thunder finally defeated the Indiana Pacers by 16 points at home. After this game, many people felt that the Thunder was indeed more advantageous in the series, but in fact, after watching it, you will find that the Pacers did not strive to win. Why do you say so? The reason is simple, the Pacers are untargeted and do not have many tactical adjustments.

Their goal is very obvious. They have already taken over the home advantage. Just go to their own home court later. There is no need to fight to the death in the second game. They may not necessarily win if they fight, so they actually did not show the strength they should have, and they kept more energy in the third game.

Alexander still maintained his high-level performance in the playoffs as usual, with another 34 points. His performance in this playoffs is indeed very stable. He has now added 30 games in four consecutive games, and the first two games of the finals were more than 30 points. It can only be said that the Pacers have no targeted defense against him, which is abnormal.

And the Pacers played in the back of the game, and even let the best player in the league come on the court, which is Furfey, who had never been in their rotation before. This guy is so handsome, known as the most handsome player in the NBA. He grabbed a rebound in 4 minutes and did nothing. But sending him on the court is an attitude, in this game, we don’t have to fight for victory. They don’t even have too many targeted game plans to suppress the Thunder’s boss, and the restrictions on the other two superstars of the Thunder are not very sufficient.

Chate 27 minutes and 15 minutes and Homgren 34 minutes and 19 minutes. I feel that they have not fought. After returning to home, they will make adjustments and target, and they will not do this anymore. This is also a way to paralyze their opponents. Because they did this in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, they played against the New York Knicks. They lost 3:1 in the fifth game and took the lead. They thought they could accept the series in Game 5, but they knew that the league could not allow the Knicks to go home for 5 games. Selling one more game is a one-game ticket, so they didn't fight hard at all in Game 5, and they lost a big score directly, and then returned to their home court to end the game in Game 6.

In this game, the Pacers may still want to play this game. It is not easy to fight in the second game, and the league will not allow 2:0 to appear. Since they leave their targeted things for the third game, they will not be in a hurry. Therefore, after losing, the Pacers players are very calm.

And the Thunder have a detail this year's playoffs. The third game of each series is their first away game. They are all behind in a huge score and are defeated. The Pacers' chances are in the two home courts behind. The Thunder players also knew very well that the opponent's away game was the beginning of the game, so Alexander didn't smile after winning the game.
