Pacers have four major advantages! They are likely to win the NBA championship

On June 12, the Pacers defeated the Thunder at home, leading by 2-1 with a big score. The Pacers have four major advantages and are likely to help them win this NBA championship!

Advantage 1: The champion coach Carlisle is very confident

The Pacers champion coach Carlisle is very powerful! In an interview, he said: The other party has better talent, but we fight more unitedly and have stronger spiritual attributes! This coach once led the Mavericks to the NBA championship. At that time, the Mavericks had only Novizki, but they defeated the Heat, which had the Big Three! I have to say that Carlisle is indeed a very capable coach!

Carlisle's use of people is very targeted in this game! When facing the Thunder's small lineup at the last moment, he immediately replaced Turner with a tot, increasing the mobility of defense. In the next round, he predicted that the Thunder would use double-team defense, and immediately replaced Matherine and added a ball holding point in the backcourt!

Advantage 2: Halliburton has a very good static talent

We all know that the Thunder are best at defense! Their defensive efficiency ranks first in the league! They are very good at pinching ball holders, but their defensive strategy is not very effective for Halliburton! Because Halliburton is 1.96 meters tall, he is a high defender with a high pitch point. Moreover, Halliburton mainly uses passing balls, and he can pass the ball out as soon as possible, causing a situation where more play less! Let the Thunder’s defense be in trouble!

Advantage 3: The inside mobility is too good

The Pacers' two inside players Siakam and Turner are moving very fast! This is very consistent with the development of contemporary basketball. When they switched to Alexander, their pace was not at a big disadvantage! Siakam is a player with both offense and defense. Being beaten at a low post on the offensive end is a big killer weapon, and he is also very capable of protecting the basket on the defensive end! Turner mainly focuses on defense, blocking shots and rebounds at the basket, and has a stable three-pointer on the offensive end. In today's game against the Thunder, Turner made five blocks by himself! At critical moments, he continuously blocked the opponent's Homgren's shots!

Advantage 4: The Thunder Two Towers have no advantages

The Thunder used the double tower lineup many times in this game! But the effect was not good. Homgren scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, which was pretty good, but Harten only scored four points! The Thunder defeated the Pacers only 42-36 rebounds in the whole game, without an overwhelming advantage! In this way, their disadvantages will be revealed, because the two towers move very slowly, and the Pacers are good at counterattacks and have very fast offense and defense rhythms, so the Thunder dare not put the two towers on the field at the same time!
