Finals G3: Substitutes and Energy.

Pacers' substitute scored 49-18 and completely defeated the Thunder. There is no doubt that this is the winner of the G3 in the finals.

Coach Carlisle insisted on long rotations. Among the 10 players, only Thomas Bryant played 3 minutes and 04 seconds, and all nine players played for at least 15 minutes. In contrast, the Thunder, the eighth-rotation man Wiggins played less than 10 minutes. Coach Dagnot actually reduced the rotation due to the Pacers' strength, and in the second half, he actually started + Caruso + Harten to fight for the bayonet.

The Pacers' substitute firepower has changed the starting time of the two teams in strategically. The most intuitive comparison: Alexander played for 42 minutes and 02 seconds, Halliburton scored 36 minutes and 20 points - the Thunder only scored 18 points in the final quarter, and the Pacers spent the Thunder 32-18 in a single quarter.

Bench bandit Mathering scored 27 points in 9 of 12 shots, and his personal output even surpassed Thunder ace Alexander, replicating the performance of Jason Terry, a G6 "Jets" in the 2011 Finals. Although McConaughey was small, he ignited the passion of the entire team through defense. The Pacers' substitute performance put tremendous pressure on the Thunder. Totel won 18 points on the court, Mathering won 16 points on the court, and McConaughey won 12 points on the court. The Pacers can beat the Thunder in the connection stage, and coach Dagenot can only use the main force, which is a vicious cycle. The substitute group influenced the game trend through its overall performance and produced a series of chain reactions, which is rare in the finals stage. Carlisle is good at managing the army. Only after a season of long rotation culture has polished this shocking finals G3.

Pacers matched the Thunder's first defense in the league, forcing the Thunder to make 19 mistakes throughout the game. The Pacers team 13 steals and 11 blocks, winning the game with a real defense.

Carlisle adopted a full-game pressing strategy at the beginning, and the card was: 48 minutes of hand-to-hand combat and sucking, and the confidence was the long rotation of 9-10 people with the whole nation.

Pacers' defensive intensity was full, and the connection section allowed Thomas Bryant to try to prevent the pick-and-roll in 3 minutes and 04 seconds and abandoned Thomas Bryant. Turner, Siakam and Toppin shared the rotation time of the 4/5th position. Turner + Siakam, Turner + Topin, Siakam + Topin were on the court, Turner blocked 5 shots and Topin blocked 2 shots, making a contribution to defense.

Coach Carlisle adopted a double-team strategy against Alexander. Homgren and Harten both scored directly with pick-and-roll. This was also a three-pointer given by Pacers' defense, including Dortmund's 4 of 5 shots. The Pacers' defensive philosophy remains unchanged, blocking the middle lane and putting corners, preventing pick-and-roll driving Alexander to the sideline, and trying to force Alexander away from the three-second zone. The first priority in defense is to limit Alexander's score, and the rest of the Thunder are regarded as a secondary threat.

Pacers' defensive effect met expectations and even had surprises. Alexander played for 42 minutes and 02 seconds, scored 9 of 20 shots, scored 24 points and 4 assists, but had 6 mistakes. The midfield pick-and-roll was hit and then shot and was directly intercepted by Halliburton. The Pacers obviously did their homework on the defensive end.

Pacers substitute group burst into the explosion point, and the bench scored 49-18, crushing the Thunder, playing an unparalleled strategic role.

Wiggins played 9 minutes and 39 seconds, Isaiah Joe played 4 minutes and 13 seconds, Kenridge Williams played 2 minutes and 04 seconds, and Jaylin Williams played only 20 seconds. Although coach Dagnott used 11 people, he cut the time since the eighth player Aaron Wiggins. In the second half, he actually started + Caruso + Harten and 7 players competed with bayonets.

The first in the league to actively reduce rotation is related to the offensive and defensive pressure given by the Pacers. Isaiah Joe was named by Mathering and McConaughey on the court. Due to the consideration of the offensive and defensive balance of the five-man on the court, the Thunder's single-function substitute cannot be on the finals stage; on the other hand, the Pacers are all soldiers, and everyone can fight, and Mathering, McConaughey and Toppin lowered the dimensionality on the bench.

When the Pacers took out 9 players to rotate, the Thunder could only produce 7 people as the intensity of the game increased. The Pacers' bench bandits not only had a quantity advantage but also a quality advantage, but their substitute advantages gradually magnified into the physical advantage of the starter, which had a chain reaction.

Carlisle is unquestionable. Although Nesmith, Nemhard and Turner have a low sense of presence on the offensive end in the first three quarters, they still reused these three people in the final quarter. The three brothers did not disappoint the coach's trust and scored key goals in a row. Turner locked up Homegren in the last quarter, blocking two blocks.

This is exactly the cultural charm of Carlisle coaching the Pacers, encouraging and inclusive, trusting everyone, not giving up, they are replicating the miracle of the 2011 Dallas Mavericks.

Alexander scored only 3 points in the last quarter, and another mistake. The Pacers exhausted Alexander and then exhausted the Thunder through the enemy's strategy.

Alexander averaged 36 points in the first two games of the finals, and there was no solution one-on-one. The Pacers have significantly increased the proportion of double-teams against Alexander in positional battles. In other words, you can lose in team battles, but Alexander must.

Coach Carlisle actually gave Alexander Curry the treatment. Dortmund/Caruso could make a big open three-pointer, and it didn't matter if he directly hit the empty basket, but Alexander's positional battle was not comfortable.

Pacers are fighting on the position at all costs to lock up Alexander, which clearly tests the other Thunder's ability to withstand pressure on the offensive end. The effect is particularly obvious in the fourth quarter: Alexander was forced to throw the ball, and the 216 cm Homgren dribbles one by one and made continuous mistakes, which is obviously a favorite among the Pacers' defense center..

The Pacers' winning code is defense and energy. They no longer need to prove their offensive firepower. Ten players rotate two sets of five outsiders and no dead end shots in the entire area, and multiple players can control the ball. More importantly, their defense and energy: McConaughey steals the Thunder baseline ball three times in this game and directly steals the house. Toping and Turner have sent wonderful blocks in succession, and all the players fell fiercely to the ground to compete for every floor ball.

Substitute, defense, and energy, this is the key to the Pacers leading the Thunder 2-1 in a big score. When an offensive team plays hard on defense, it makes sense that they perform beyond expectations. To win the championship with defense, only two more wins are needed.
