Players in big scenes! The Thunder defeated their opponents. It was not the Pacers who felt uncomfortable, but the Lakers?

There is no difference from what was expected. The Thunder successfully tied the big score to 1-1 at home, bringing the plot back on track. I vaguely remember that the Pacers led their opponents 2-0 in the first three rounds of the competition, and then completed the victory in the series. In this round of G2 series, the Thunder team took the initiative to change the team and defeated the Pacers with a big score, allowing the game to return to the same starting line.

In fact, you can see a result in two rounds of series, that is, the Thunder are the stronger side, G1 leads at most 15 points, and tactical mistakes are defeated by the Pacers. In G2, the Thunder leads at most 23 points, and does not let the victory slip away. This is actually the most intuitive manifestation of hard power, and it also proves that there is a natural gap between the two teams.

The Thunder defeated the Pacers, although it only tied the series with a big score, but its psychological advantage was already on the side of the Thunder. Alexander's average performance of 30+ per game seems to have booked the FMVP award, but the author believes that the key to the Thunder's victory must be Caruso. It can even be said that Caruso's role has been seriously underestimated when the Thunder can reach this point. In the

G2 game, Caruso scored 20 points again. This is the second time in the playoffs to get 20+ data. You should know that Caruso's highest score is 19 points in 82 games in the regular season. In the key games in the playoffs, Caruso's performance is enough to prove his value.

For the Pacers, G2's failure is acceptable. After all, they just got back the home advantage of the finals, such as in the end of G2. When the Pacers were behind in a big score, Carlisle head coach decisively pulled away because they stole a victory from the Thunder's home court, which was considered to be an over-complete task.

But it is different for the Lakers. Caruso was originally a player who came out of the Lakers. He completed his first career championship with the Lakers. When Caruso received the Bulls' four-year, $37 million contract offer, the Lakers clearly had the right to match the offer of other teams, but they gave up such an opportunity. In the end, with Caruso's departure, the Lakers' defensive intensity declined, and they didn't even enter the playoffs. It also proved that Caruso's defensive system value is difficult to replace at low cost.

Now, Caruso continues to strive for the championship as a main player. Unlike before, this time he is the team's core player, which is far from the little transparent person he used to, and he already has the opportunity to reach a higher value. For the Pacers, the least thing to do is to give players like Caruso a chance to score 20 points.

Everyone knows how strong Caruso's defensive ability is, and the Pacers just let him play the best offensive state while defending. This is the most troublesome thing about Pacers. Pacers are not afraid of opponents who blast a single point, but are not as good as Brunson and Alexander. Players like this are more likely to have a feeling of performance. What really makes them headache are players like Caruso, because his defense is someone who can really change the direction of the game.

When Caruso followed the Thunder to the finals again, the Lakers were eliminated from the first round. This gap is more like a reflection of the abandonment of Caruso. As James said, Caruso is one of his favorite teammates, and he is the ultimate version of the Swiss Army Knife. Although it means some hindsight, Caruso deserves such praise.

The playoffs belonging to the Thunder are not over yet, and the second championship belonging to Caruso has not arrived, but one thing is certain that Caruso's value will continue to soar in the next contract. This season, the name Caruso has made more Thunder fans like it. Data cannot represent value and is most suitable for Caruso.
