Jokic s hero is short of breath, Carlisle enters the Eastern Conference Finals again

Pacers 4 to 1 Knight. The Eastern Conference Finals have been held for two consecutive years.

At the end of the first game, Nemhard and Halliburton took over, and Halliburton's key defense took over Struce and Jerome.

Neismith shot from a long shot in the second game, Nemhard made a goal, Halliburton won the final shot.

Of course, Garland and Mobley were absent in the first two games. In the third game, the Cavaliers used 3-2 joint defense and Mobley went online to defend and won back: Is the strength considered complete?

In the fourth game, the Pacers used Turner and Topin's big bullying of the Cavaliers to break the Cavaliers' double towers. McConne's instigation led by 41 points in the first half and broke.

Halliburton scored 31 points in the fifth game - 27 points in the previous three games - sent away the Cavaliers.

Halliburton is a point guard, and half of the goals scored today were fed by teammates.

He was voted as the most overrated before, probably because he faced the defense and had fewer strong attacks, but he probably didn't care: they were all scores.

Seeing Mobri being taken away, he and Nemhard turned to Garet Allen.

Cavaliers put pressure on the strong side, so Nemhard looked for the weak side, bullied Allen and Mitchell, and failed to communicate well, so he fed Halliburton to shoot a long shot.

teammates suddenly scored, Halliburton received the ball from the top of the arc, broke through with three threats, and blocked Mobri for him, until he entered the shooting range.

His 31 points also come from the help of his teammates, but that's the Pacers: They have 26 assists today, Cavaliers? 10 times.

Mitchell is the best player in this series. Mobley is the best defender in this series. But under the Pacers' high-pressure rhythm, the Cavaliers only stood firmly on the field.

The old players reflected in the thickness of the regular season - Garland, Jerome, Struce, and Wade Jr. - disappeared: Garland was destroyed by a pinch in the last game, and today made 5 mistakes for 4 of 16 shots; and Garret Allen showed after being pinched on the Cavaliers' ball:

He is just an outstanding blue-collar center after all.

When asked in January what the Cavaliers are missing, what I thought was that when the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics last season, only Mobley and Mitchell could stand firm.

It seems today...

Pacers do not have people like Mitchell who guarantee 35 minutes and 40 points per night, and there is no sweeper like Mobley who will have to hide from the opponent wherever he stands, but...

Halliburton does not score (the previous three games combined 27 points today) passes and pushes the rhythm and weak side cover.

Turner protects the basket and rotates in advance when he is not allowed.

NeSmith and Nemhard lead the defense and pass the ball when they are not scored.

Siakam does everything: pulling in, rotating in advance, rotating in X.

McConne destroys the ball path, cuts in, and passes when he does not score.

The second most passes in the regular season are second only to the Warriors, and they are close to the top in the 34th league in each game.

Pass, run, offense and defense are in place; hard switch, anti-soft switch, joint defense, early pinch, delayed pinch, Spanish pick-and-roll 21 routines are endless, and the team is the most skilled in the league.

teach well.

Coach Carlisle led the Pacers to the third Eastern Conference Finals, which should be the most team history, tied Bird.

Coach Carlisle has led four different teams so far - Big Benchangsey's Pistons, Artest Jr. O'Neal Pacers, defensive example; Dirk Kidd's Dallas (winning the championship), this Lightning Pacers, team offensive legend - has reached the division finals.

The Pacers took over 25 wins in the first year, and were trained by him until the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

The Pistons fought for steel defense to lay the foundation for Old Brown's later championship, and the Pacers made Artest the defensive player of the year. He played the joint defense in Dallas and won the 2011 championship. Twenty years later, he played lightning offense and defense replacement tricks again. Not to mention the Four Towers tactics that once stunned Coach Lu when he led Dallas to fight the Clippers.

does not rely on the team, does not play in a fixed way, and has been working for twenty years, and often plays offensive and defensive creativity that leads the times.

Real excellence from the overall environment.

Conversely, some coaches were reversed after leading 3-1 in different teams and 3-2 in four teams. That was also a reversal of the holy body that was out of the general environment...

The Thunder 3-2 Nuggets won the Tianwang Mountain.

Jokic 44+15+5, another historical performance.

But the Nuggets eventually lost to the Thunder.

All the way, we all know: the Nuggets are just playing seven people, and there are only six people to choose from when they win, and in the end they are just betting: Do you believe in Porter's long-range shot or Westbrook's energy today?

Thunder but there are many soldiers and many generals. For example, in the third quarter of the last game, coach Ma Dai saw that Dortmund scored 1 of 4 in a single quarter and immediately put it cold, allowing Caruso + Carson + Aaron Wiggins to finish the game.

For example, today, halfway through the third quarter and in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Thunder dared to let go of Hartten and supported Jokic with Jerry Williams - today Jerry +7 in the whole team today.

The Nuggets today are eight people, ten people in Thunder - the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Thunder fights ten people to rotate?

Next to Thibodeau: It’s not Tianwang Mountain, I just want to use seven people!

Since this season's playoffs, Alexander has the most ball-holding breakthroughs, with Brunson, Mitchell and Edwards behind him; Jokic has the most ball-holding and troubleshooting on the back and waist: the style of holding the ball in the face and supporting the center is both pole.

Both of them are facing special defense:

Jokic averaged 10 assists per game in the regular season, and averaged 5 assists per game in this series. Alexander averaged 6 assists in the regular season, and averaged 7 assists in 20 shots per game in this series.

Thunder: Jokic, don't pass the ball, come and play our double towers.

Nuggets: Alexander, don't break through, let Jewe and Chet fight.

Today, the fierce battle continues.

Thunder's strong side zoom is wild as usual, forcing the Nuggets to transfer the weak side. As usual, the Nuggets used soft attacks and joint defense to limit Alexander's range of activities and prevent Alexander from directly attacking the basket from fighting on the battlefield.

When Murray fought against Alexander in the early third quarter, he also made strong shots on Dortmund's head. He did not get rid of the opportunity and was difficult to last. The Nuggets' inside scores in the second half came from a second attack. After Alexander scored 8 points in a row in the first quarter, he was stacked on one side, so he fed Chet and Jerin at the basket.

Nuggets once relied on Porter to defend Chett - both thin strips, and Chett could not break through Porter - and tied up with the second consecutive score. Then Jarin came on the court and took over Jokic.

- Jelin is not as good as Harteng, but he has more baskets than Harteng and his movements are lighter. His sticking Jokic and Leave Chet to protect the basket were the idea of ​​Hachimura guarding Jokic down the plate and Davis waiting at the basket two years ago. So Jokic returned to the basket and shot.

Off topic, regular season short shot kings: Jokic, 3J, Cunningham, Fat Tigers, Fox and Brunson.

Before today, the playoff short shot kings: Shin Kyung, Zubac, Brunson, Jokic.

Exaggerated: Jokic's soft-touch shot/hook shot, and his shooting percentage was better than Cunningham, three goals and Trae Young's basketball.

For Jerin, being able to take away Jokic's comfortable support and force him to dribble and break through and shoot, is considered a success: he can score, but a person's physical strength is always limited.

The Thunder's bench is not just about filling in time; Jelin and Caruso have a little more tactical significance than Hartten and Dortmund:

Hartmund's offensive significance is limited to screens, near-bass throws and frontcourt rebounds; Dortmund can only shoot at a fixed point: they are both finishers.

In addition to long-range shots in the bottom corner, Caruso also cuts in front court rebounds; Jerin's strong and weak side bottom corner moves short, which gives Chet the possibility of cutting in, so there is no need to always bet on three points.

In the fourth quarter, Dortmund scored the most glorious moment of his career, and scored three weak sides and caught up with long shots.

In turn: the Nuggets kept shooting and losing three-pointers on the weak side.

Of course, Dortmund was only awesome for a while in the fourth quarter - but Thunder has someone else.

Jie Wei was punished and tied to 92 - then one of the three did not play, but Thunder had someone else.

Jerin went online to pull, Chett tied 94 - his offensive significance ended here, but the Thunder had someone else.
