The reason why the Pacers were able to rebound strongly in G3 and win the victory was due to the team's four major killer moves.

Killing move 1: Harry 0 free throw magic

was locked in the first two games and G2 was extremely sluggish, Halliburton of G3 once again staged magic.

9 of 17 shots in the game, 4 of 8 three-pointers, efficiently scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 1 blocks, and comprehensive quasi-double data, playing the role of a stadium brain. In addition, the second in command, Sika, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, the two supported the team's basic set.

It is worth mentioning that Halliburton has 0 free throws in the whole game, and so far in the finals, Halliburton has 0 free throws in 3 consecutive games.

Killing move 2: The first in the history of the surprises

Pacers played the role of the surprises, among which McConnell set the first record in NBA history.

McConnell played for 15 minutes, scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 5 steals in comprehensive data, becoming the first player in NBA history to be able to hand over at least 5 assists and 5 steals in the finals.

When the team fell into passive behind in the first half, it was McConnell who became the surprise force, and helped the Pacers launch a wave of counterattack through steals and assists to completely ignite the entire team and fans, with a plus-minus value of +12 and third in the game.

, the second place in the positive and negative values ​​was Mathering, who handed over a positive and negative value of +16.

Macelin made 9 of 12 in 22 minutes of playing time, and scored the highest 27 points in the game with extremely exaggerated efficiency, completely changing the situation on the court.

The surprise player with the first positive and negative value is the tie. He scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the whole game. However, the tie was not impressive enough, but the tie was low and the whole game ended with high performances, and sent key patches and nail-board big hats in the last quarter.

Under the leadership of the three surprises, the Pacers scored 49 points in the bench, creating the third highest substitute in the NBA Finals in 1997, second only to the 24th G4 Mavericks (54 points) and the 20th G3 Lakers (53 points).

In contrast, the Thunder team only scored 18 points, while the Pacers had a net better of 31 points in this item.

Killing move 3: Resilience and adjustment ability

When the inside is obviously disadvantaged, the G3 Pacers rebounded in a targeted manner, leading the inside score 50-40, and the inside shooting percentage is almost 10 percentage points higher than the Thunder.

At the same time, the Pacers' original shortcomings defense also improved in this game, giving away 13 steals and 11 blocks throughout the game, while the Thunder only had 6 and 4. It is worth mentioning that Turner, who was fighting with illness, sent 5 blocks throughout the game, including 3 in the last quarter.

This allowed the Pacers to score 21 points by making a mistake, leading the Thunder by 7 points, and also allowed the Pacers to score 17 points through the fast break, and scored 7 more points than the Thunder. It was these adjustments and rebounds that allowed the Pacers to finally win.

Killer move 4: Carlisle

In the final analysis, all changes and adjustments of the Pacers are based on Carlisle's system. The reason why they can dominate the original shortcomings such as defense, rebounds, and inside is also because of Carlisle's long rotation.

The Thunder seem to have long rotations, but they are completely different from the Pacers' long rotations. When the game enters the second half and final quarter, the Thunder often compresses the rotations to 7 people, or even 6 people, while the Pacers still have 9-10 people.

This gives the Pacers a greater physical advantage at the critical moment and the greater the possibility of surprises appearing. Taking this game as an example, when Toppin was in poor condition at the beginning, Carlisle still chose to trust him in the final quarter, which resulted in Toppin's self-salvation.

As for the explosion of another surprise player, Mathering, who scored the highest 27 points in the game, it was not accidental. The last substitute who scored at least 27 points in the finals was Terry, and the coach of the Mavericks at that time was also Carlisle.
