Carlisle abandoned McConnell! The backcourt dual cores crashed again, and the key ball was targeted

In the fifth game of the NBA Finals, the Pacers played against the Thunder, but the Pacers lost 109 to 120. This game was still as bad as before in the first half, but in the fourth quarter, the Pacers suddenly exerted their strength and chased the score to only two points. But at this moment, the team suddenly collapsed! All kinds of mistakes on the offensive end, but the opponent was unable to stop the defense. He was hit by the Thunder and directly widened the gap and finally lost the game.

Coach Carlisle was scolded again. In fact, his tactics had already gone wrong in the last game. In today's game, he seemed to be messing up things again.

McConnell's condition is simply explosive today! With 6 minutes left in the third quarter, he made 6 of 6 shots, scoring 13 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal. As soon as this data came out, the team directly recovered a lot of points. But who would have thought that in the fourth quarter, Coach Carlisle actually pressed McConnell to the bench? He only played for only 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, so there is too little playing time, right?

In the last 3 minutes, the Pacers were already 14 points behind. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Carlisle remembered to send McConnell to try his luck. But is it a little too late to play at this time? The fans were confused when they saw this scene. What did they think of this substitution strategy?

At the last critical moment, they started playing "Dou Ren Zhuan" again. Just like in the G5 game, teammates didn't pass the ball to Siakam, but instead kept staring at Nemhard and Halliburton. What's the result? These two people kept shooting, but they couldn't make any shots, so they were crazy! When it comes to G5, they continue to play their "double-man". In the end, Nemhard made frequent mistakes, and Halliburton was not aggressive on the offensive end. This style of play directly dragged down the performance of the entire team.

In fact, Nemhard has been targeted by his opponents on the defensive end and consumed a lot. At the last critical moment, he shouldn't have got the ball. This is simply giving the ball right to his opponent. In addition, Halliburton was in poor condition due to injury, and was not online in possession or shooting. But Carlisle insisted on using both of them. These two defenders cannot break through, and Siakam has the ability to attack, so why not let him break through and create a foul? Maybe you can still score points. This is where G6 Pacers must think carefully and adjust quickly.
