Thunder coach Dagnut attended a press conference and was interviewed by the media and talked about the team's recent situation in the G6 in the finals.

Regarding the current situation where the team has encountered difficulties in passing away and averaging only 13 assists per game, Degnott said: "We have to play better offensively to win tomorrow's game. They have excellent home games, are full of energy, are highly oppressive in defense and are quick to switch off. We expect them to continue this intensity tomorrow. Therefore, if we want to give ourselves the opportunity to compete, we must give enough strength to confront."

Alexander is expected to break the history of no NBA scoring champion since 2000. Dagnout said: "I'm not very good at analyzing this kind of trend. Honestly, we are now focusing on Game 6. But Alexander is really outstanding. He is a good teammate and player, but our focus is Game 6."

Regarding the possibility of Halliburton being absent from the opponent, Dagnout said: "Haliburton is the top player, and I We know that we cannot underestimate any excellent player. If he plays, we will face his strongest attack. The Pacers are a strong team, and whether the opponent has the full lineup or not, we regard their strongest performance as a preset, especially at home. We will prepare for him and any state of the team. "

Regarding how Alexander and Jewway's shooting and scoring opportunities are allocated, Degennott said: "Most of the great players are "art" - they are unique and have incredible skills, such as Siakam and Halliburton, all the top players. For us, it is more about helping each player maximize their personal style of play. Obviously, these two are comprehensive and diverse in their playing style, and their performance on the court deserves all the praises. They are excellent players and always play within the team framework, which does not suppress the influence of other players, which is also the reason for the team's success."
