The Pacers competed for physical fitness G3 to the end and laughed at the end. The substitute was overwhelmed by Thunder.

The finals were played to G3, and although the game came to Indianapolis, it was trapped in the yellow ocean of Indian City. But at the beginning, the Thunder's blue still looked dazzling...

At least in the first quarter, the Russian City players completely continued the momentum of suppressing their opponents for most of the first two games of the series. They continued to focus on me. On the offensive end, like G2, Homgren and Jaylen Williams stood up early to share the worries for Alexander; on the defensive end, their strength, speed + rigor are the same as before.

On the other hand, on the Pacers, the core Halliburton was once again blocked by his opponent. After half a quarter of the game, he finally barely broke the personal scoring drought. The overall smoothness of Inn City's attack was also declining. The whole team made 6 mistakes in a single quarter, and could only rely on Siakam's strong solution to support the scene, which led to their helpless lag in the process of competing with the Thunder for output.

The battle situation has developed to this point, but it is not surprising that Thunder is better than Pacers in terms of paper combat power. The lead in G3 in the first quarter is just a clear presentation of the Thunder's combat power in actual combat.

But the Pacers have already experienced too many storms in the championship journey to this point. In the previous two rounds of the series, they were also the so-called "downdogs". But every time they are not favored by the outside world, and every time they are considered to fall into the input trap for granted, they can always suddenly create unexpected surprises.

This battle ended in the next quarter, and the surprise came as soon as possible. The Thunder has been working hard to limit Halliburton until now. But compared to the high focus of Harry's attention, when facing Inn City's substitute, especially substitute point guard McConnell, Oxford could not achieve consistent focus. This slight slackness is somewhat understandable at the emotional level, but the consequences it causes are unacceptable to the Thunder. At the beginning of the second quarter, as the reserve engine of Inn City, McConnell suddenly drove up to full power. In just less than 3 minutes, he gave 4 assists and led the team to quickly approach the score. During this period, the most exciting offense and defense occurred at 9 minutes and 47 seconds in this quarter. McConnell first broke through along the baseline and then a very concealed pass helped Nesmith, who was all-received, easily scored. Then, McConnell seized the short-term thoughts of the Thunder as he served the bottom line, and staged a ghost hand steal to win another offensive opportunity for the Pacers.

McConnell's fighting spirit was full, and he also ignited the winning flames of other teammates. Matherin, who also came from the bench, suddenly became angry. He continued McConnell's sense of energy and continued to push the Pacers' climax. As a result, after halftime, Inn had completely rushed out of the passive cage that was suppressed in the first quarter.

Halftime ball, the Pacers' 30-11 substitute score also became the core motivation for their flip situation.

However, although the Pacers stopped losing momentum, the scene was still in the same position. In the early part of the third quarter, Alexander and Jaylen Williams needed a little effort and the Thunder regained the advantage.

But it can be clearly felt that in this game, Alexander came to his physical fitness bottleneck. As a core member of the prime of life, physical fitness is not a problem for SGA for most of the season. Moreover, SGA has never been the kind of athlete who rushes hard. He knows how to save energy in actual combat in various ways, and will also use smart tricks and free throws to relieve his fatigue when personal attacks are difficult.

But another data has to be mentioned. In the first two games of the series, Alexander scored 30+, and in two games, he scored 74 points, which also broke the historical record of scoring in the first two games of the NBA Finals. Behind the gorgeous data, SGA's huge physical energy consumption cannot be ignored, and the side effects of super high scores in the first two games were also reflected in this game.

Back to the actual battle of G3, Alexander was very tired. His attack efficiency was not ideal throughout the first half, and some rounds even showed movement deformation that was visible to the naked eye. Although SGA still scored 20+ in the third quarter with free throws and signature jump shots, more and more scenes of him holding his knees and lowering his head and breathing heavily in the offense and defense.

Although, the Thunder entered the final quarter with a slight advantage. But an unfavorable omen is that according to the rules of this year's playoffs, the Pacers are the team that are better at playing key balls than the Thunder... In the last quarter, Alexander was indeed a little unable to play. Except for one of his difficult fouls and 1 of 2 free throws, his scoring data bar was in a long freeze state during the other time. Not only that, SGA also rarely made his sixth mistake.

As the best team in the league, everyone in Oxford actually became exhausted in the late final quarter. On the other hand, the Pacers seemed to have endless energy... McConnell sent another steal and then made a layup. Mathering continued to make a hot move and made a three-pointer, and Halliburton's magic also began to go online and hit three-pointers. There are also Nemhad and Topin, who are extremely confident in receiving the ball.

And with G3, the Pacers won another game, this round of series has subverted most people's perceptions. For the Thunder, it is time for them to wake up from the dream of "the situation is great", and it is time to make some new adjustments and changes in adversity...
