A surprise loss of 1 point, an unexpected loss of 2 points! Don’t be careless anymore, the championship is incredible

NBA playoffs entered the finals, with the Indiana Pacers and the O'Brien Cup competing against the O'Brien Cup. Before the finals started, this round of series was not very popular. The focus was on Antetokounmpo and Durant's stay and how James and Harden implemented the player options. Even Luca's popularity in losing weight was higher than that in the finals. If we want to trace the root of the root, the key is that the hard-core strength of the league overlord Thunder is far above the Pacers. The whole world is almost optimistic that the Thunder can sweep the Pacers to the championship with a devastating momentum! But then again, the Pacers were able to return to the finals after 25 years, and their strength and good luck have been escorting them. In the words of fans, you can underestimate the Pacers or underestimate Halliburton, but you can never underestimate the heart of a champion. In the finals G1, the Pacers will use their strength + good luck to justify themselves! From the first quarter, the Thunders firmly controlled the situation on the court. The Pacers were once behind by as much as 15 points in the fourth quarter, but their counterattack was late, and everyone was getting high. Halliburton completed a big heart mid-range shot with 0.3 seconds left in the game, helping the Pacers get the first lead in the game. The familiar script is killing people and heartbroken! At that moment, Halliburton did not dance the big egg dance, nor did he hold his throat, but his face was expressionless, as if he was teaching all those who supported the Thunder: We just won a game, it was not the time to celebrate, but you have to admit that there is suspense in the championship, right?

The league overlord lost 1 point, and the Thunder fell into silence at home, and this scene is not their first experience this season. Turning time back to the Western Conference semi-finals, the Thunder team, which swept the Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round, is waiting to face the Nuggets, which had just experienced a tiebreak battle. The Thunder also firmly controlled the situation on the field in the first three quarters, and once led by up to 14 points. They also collapsed in the final quarter and were also defeated by their opponents. They were defeated by 2 points unexpectedly! According to statistics, the Thunder team's home record this season is 8 wins and 2 losses. The only two games lost were tragically reversed and were killed by their opponents. This may illustrate two things: First, the Thunder team's overall strength is indeed strong; second, winning the championship is a practice, and it is difficult to be missing. Disrespect the opponent and the game must be paid.

From being defeated by Gordon by 2 points to being defeated by Haliburton by 1 point, the Thunder made many mistakes and highlighted a young man! For example, in the second round of G1, the Thunder thought they were using foul penalty tactics, and Chet lost both free throws, which even destroyed his future! For example, in the finals G1, the Thunder team took the initiative to change the formation and demolish the double towers to compete for the five small lineups. The rebound was almost lost, and they grabbed 17 fewer than the Pacers! If we want to trace the root of the story, the key is that the Thunder generals are too confident, and the Thunder's key to victory is too obvious - relying on defense to make a living, and relying on Alexander's offense to protect him. Once the three-pointers of the role players are insufficient in firepower or Alexander cannot hit the superstar, they will often easily ruin a good game!

In contrast, the Thunder's final opponent Pacers, they have a completely different style: everyone is picking up firewood on the offensive end, everyone is for me and I am for everyone, Sika, Nemhard, Nesmith, Topin, Turner, and Mathering can all add icing on the cake, Halliburton can use magic to help in time, and the key ball ability beats Alexander! So far in the playoffs, Halliburton tied or overtook 13 of the ball in the last two minutes, with a shooting percentage of 86.7%. At the same time, Halliburton has hit a tie or a winning goal four times this season. He hit a tie or a winning goal in the last 5 seconds for the fifth time in his playoff career, tying Reggie Miller (5 times) and ranking second in 1997, second only to James (8 times). Not only that, the Pacers' defensive integrity is also underestimated. Especially in the G1 of the finals, the Pacers made as many as 24 mistakes, but only allowed the Thunder to score 11 points by making mistakes. If it were other teams, they might have been blown up by the Thunder with a devastating counterattack.

The Thunders 0-1 behind the Pacers is not scary to lose their home advantage, but what is scary is that they do not have a sense of crisis yet. In an interview, Alexander said: We were beaten by the Nuggets, and later we became the best team to laugh to the end. Losing one game is not called losing, winning four games can only win the championship; Dagnot also said in an interview: We will not overreact to the loss of G1. Every game is different, and we still have a lot of room for improvement. We must become a better team to win the next game. I don’t deny that the Thunder has the ability to rebound strongly, but I have to remind the Thunder again: the league overlord is not an amulet, don’t be careless anymore, otherwise the Pacers will continue to make you pay the price! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
