Knight Pacer G4 - The Battle of Rhythm, the Pacer s Horror Attack

9:40am, 16 May 2025【Basketball】

A big victory that entered garbage time early, the Pacers took a 3:1 lead and had one foot entered the Eastern Conference Finals. In the preview of the two teams' series, I said that the two teams simply fight for offense to be completely 55, and even the Pacers are stronger. If the Cavaliers want to play an advantage in this round, they must rely on the inside to land on the double towers to slow down the pace of the game, compete for the frontcourt rebounds, and prevent the opponent from counterattacking. The Cavaliers did it in the last game, so they won a big victory. However, in this game, the Cavaliers made various mistakes in offense, and had no advantage in rebounding. They made crazy three-pointers on the outside, which meant that they lost all their advantages, and they were playing with the Pacers' fast pace.

Struz cuts in the inside, and the Cavaliers must play such an inside cooperation to have the opportunity to recover the series

Garland Mobley pick-and-roll, Mobley dunks, this is the advantage of the Cavaliers. Then the strongest firepower team in the league will naturally not miss the opportunity.

The Pacers have made crazy progress in the past two years under Carlisle's careful training. They have only multiple tactical starting points (3 players per game with 4 assists per game) and shared the ball (first in the assists league), huge space on the outside (first in the league with three-point shooting percentage), mobile end points in the inside, and teams that are very good at counterattacking (first in the fast attack league)

Super end point

They fully played their own characteristics in this game, and completely suppressed the No. 1 Cavaliers in the East from the first round of the game.

Various steals counterattacks

Halliburton passed to the basket at the fast break in a fast break to complete 2➕1;

The inside end after the cooperation of multiple players, Halliburton passed the ball, and then passed the empty cut in the baseline to complete the dunk

The outside three-pointer after the transmission of multiple players, cooperated with the Pacers team, Turner made a large open three-pointer

Turner did not make a large open three-pointer, and chose to pass it to Nesmith who was empty;

Every attack they were trying to find the strength of the team, just like the Warriors yesterday, it was the ultimate team basketball show. They use crazy running, breakout, pick-and-roll, and empty cuts to find the best passes and opportunities to shoot. Carlisle's tactical philosophy is fully integrated into every corner of the team.

They almost forced the Celtics to a dead end last season, and they were definitely not a flash in the pan. This season they used their offensive system to prove themselves.

Perhaps the opportunity to go further is this year.

And for the Cavaliers, it is already very dangerous for them to lose Mitchell.

Mitchell was injured without a confrontation. The Cavaliers were extremely lucky in this round of the series and were affected by huge injuries;

Their tactical system was completely disrupted by the Pacers. It is unacceptable that they have the double towers, but their inside scores are far inferior to those of the Pacers. They urgently need to use their resilience and victory to prove to everyone that the number one in the Eastern Conference is not a pseudo-strong team. There are not many opportunities left to them.
