16 more shots, 18 fewer mistakes! Still killed: The problem lies in these 4 points!

With 9 minutes and 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Thunder still led the Pacers by 15 points, but after that, the Thunder gave the Pacers a chance, and finally let Halliburton reappear magic and complete the quasi-final kill in 0.3 seconds! Let’s first take a look at the statistics comparison between the two sides of the game, and then analyze why the Thunder was able to be defeated!

From the above data statistics, we can clearly see that the Thunder took 16 more shots and made 18 fewer mistakes in the whole game, but they were still reversed and lost! Anyone who has watched the game knows that after the whole game, the Thunder is still a better side than the Pacers in terms of strength. The reason why the Thunder loses is mainly due to these 4 points, and the fourth point is the most fatal!

First point: The conversion attack was not made!

In the first half, the Thunder made a total of 18 mistakes in the Pacers and made them only hit 16 sports goals. It can be said that they fully utilized their defensive skills, but the Thunder used these 18 mistakes to only score 9 points, which was completely inferior to the level of the first three rounds. You should know that after the first three rounds of the Western Conference, the Thunder was very good at using counterattacks to hit the climax of the offensive. However, G1 did not play this advantage. The Pacers made 24 mistakes in the whole game and only scored 11 points. On the contrary, the Pacers used 6 mistakes to score 4 points.

Second point: The walker is really the destiny of heaven!

At the critical moment of the fourth quarter, substitute McConnell turned back 180 degrees, center Turner drifted 45° to hit a three-pointer, 3D player Nemhard took a step back and shot with a three-pointer, dunked to tie the score and hit a three-pointer, and replaced it with the other 29 teams in the league. Which team's role player can do it? The final moments of a game depend on the performance of the team's core players. On the other hand, the Pacers are saved by role players again and again. More importantly, they do not make occasional shots, they are a series of super performances by character players, and ultimately the boss completes a fatal blow. Halliburton has completed three finals and one draw in four rounds of the season. In terms of luck, since the first day of the NBA, the Pacers have been the best team to dribble, no doubt about it! The championship is inseparable from the joint efforts of the players and the head coach, but for a long time, many times, it has to be said that until now, the Pacers are really destined to be destined!

Third point: Alexander cannot obtain the superstar whistle!

Alexander played 39 minutes and 34 seconds in the whole game, shot 30-14, made 3 of 6 three-pointers, scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. From the shooting distribution, we can clearly see that Alexander made a total of 20 shots in the three-second zone, and made 10 shots in the reasonable collision zone. If this style of play was changed to the regular season, Alexander could get at least 15+ free throws, while he only got 8 free throws in this game. The most controversial goal appeared in one round. At that time, Alexander broke through to the free throw line and used the rhythm to shake the defender. He took the opportunity to complete the attack with one hand. The basketball bounced into the basket, but the referee's goal was invalid. The Thunder's frontcourt penalty kicked, and the ball was definitely looking for a whistle. Alexander had made a complete offensive move, and the defender had completely lost his position, but he did not make a foul on the shooting. The opportunity to expand the lead was gone. This is just a microcosm of this game. In the finals stage, SGA could not get too many whistles, which was also one of the reasons why the Thunder was turned over!

Fourth point: The head coach abandoned his martial arts!

The Knicks and the Pacers have proved to us that they must protect the rebounds when they compete with the Pacers, otherwise they will have too many opportunities to counterattack quickly. The Knicks' 0-2 trailing in the Eastern Conference Finals was that Thibodeau took the initiative to change the team and got Robinson to start with Towns, and protected the rebound to grab two games! Thibodeau clearly had given the idea of ​​suppressing the Pacers, but Degenut lost himself in this game. Not only did he give up the double tower lineup, he also directly imitated Cole at the last moment, hoping to end the game with 5 small lineups and directly let the Pacers turn the tables! Until 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter, at least one big man was present on the Thunder. Harten and Homgren took turns to protect the penalty area, and continued to suppress the Pacers on both ends of the offense and defense. As long as they follow this idea of ​​employing people, the Thunder would not have a big problem. However, the 5 small lineup at the last moment directly allowed Siakam to grab the frontcourt rebound twice and scored 3 points, and did not defend the Pacers with three points. It can be said that he lost his wife and his troops! In the last 3 minutes and 24 seconds, the Pacers made 2 of 3 points and won 4 rebounds, which is the main reason for the reversal!

To sum up, the Thunder still lost the game with 16 more shots and 18 fewer mistakes. This is mainly because the conversion and offense was not played well, and the Pacers could stand up. Alexander did not get the corresponding superstar whistle. The most important thing is that the head coach abandoned his martial arts skills and replaced Homegren at 3 minutes and 24 seconds at the last moment, resulting in the team's three-pointer not defending and the rebound was lost?
