Halliburton fires the lightning wilder and surprises the Pacers.
They say Indianapolis is boring and gave no one hard to the NBA Finals, MVP’s Thunder Pacers Shy Gilgaus Alexander This is because the team has never participated in a series of rings in the last 20 years. They barely have a shield star, perhaps one in a Tyreese Halliburton Stripped by his own NBA colleagues, he considers him the most overrated player. The world opposes them, but these oppose them Indiana Pacers They envision challenges with pride and rebellion. They believe in their various ideas and their city is boring, but they die for them. They want to contradict the world and are already closer to doing so. Last night they sparse Oklahoma with an avalanche and a choral basketball avalanche (116-107) and placed 2-1 in these finals.
Thunder has begun its final quarter Above 84-89-With the comeback copyright belonging to Indiana, the final sprint of the Pacers’ mind disarmed OKC, without the final madness option. OKC won in the first quarter (24-32), but Indiana balances duel and rest (64-60).
Accused of being a shy leader without a character in the second game, Halliburton uploaded a decibel of excited fans in Indianapolis, having started his first two meetings and forgot about Trot, who galloped from the start. Determined to resolve with the mouth of the wolf, a painting that protects the best defenses of the modern NBA, the bass filmed 22 points, 11 assists Then, on September 17th, he was on a field shot, with a triple 4/8, and nine rebounds in touch with his triple double and faithful work.
His sustained contributions throughout the party were in contrast to the way MVPs were. Shy Gilgaus Alexander Finally diluted, with “just” 24 points after 38 and 34 in games 1 and 2, and in the final quarter there was wear and tear that was subjugated to the other side of the court with only three points against Indiana’s pressure.
While there was no need to defend like before, Canadian bases could be satisfied with effectiveness on shots with 9/20 on launches and 1/3 on triples, but that impact by others was covered by a loss of about six, over four assists. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren They were loyal MVP squires with 26 and 20 points Luguentz Dort He contributed to 12, but was paid out of the boundary in a triple on 4/5.
However, due to the abnormality testified in the bench duel.
Once, Lightning was defeated on a pulse during the second unity per victory, with only 18 points of the Pacers’ 49 alternatives. Much of this unusual rarity guilt has it Benedict MatrinProducer X, split into 9/12 with 27 points on field shots, almost perfect.
The Canadian arguments always with all the filters, and when he no longer deals with cores, he has guided all his energy and impulses right this time, leading all his powers and decisions with his penetration. for that, Pascal Siakam He has so far signed his best performance on 8/14 on these NBA Finals and on field shots.
But it was a collective effort worthy of praise by the entire team, but the sparks that just turned on the enforceable and Lampante were many of Indiana dressed in yellow. TJ McConnell. Unable to reach the NBA with 1.88 physical light, and without being drained more than pure, the brave base of 33 years was the nerve to tour the open tomb, and went out to reach the kitchen of horrifying paintings in Oklahoma, bravely to robbery and stirring in masses with the way he asks.
Called a volatile intangible effort, as the stat sheet rarely reflects so well, McConnell gave up to five robbers in just 15 minutes. He was in court, and the Pacers just believed, so they made their first progress in the match in the presence of 8:27 at the end of the second quarter (37-36), reaching the first 64-60 break of the series in which Indiana faced the advantage on the holidays.
In Indiana, many Indiana were breathed Reggie Miller Sitting in the front row and incredible things Kate Rinklerk And among the gorgeous audience, they were dressed in the declaration of Indianapolis’ pride in any case, but are part of the slogans: “This is Indiana,” “Only basketball in 49 states (in the US), this is Indiana.”
With such a rich show of pride, the Pacers couldn’t do anything else, but preached a grating, dizzy, fun basketball on a grid, opening up the closure of the score. Roll it on all the pills Spit out the parooTalisman for the Pacers, who introduced the Catalan pilot at Gainbridge Field House and became the first Spanish champion in history. 500 miles of Indianapolis.
Team of Rick Carlyle He played as quickly as his intelligence in surgical accuracy. For the first time in these finals, Indiana found the perfect balance between rhythm and pause, eventually destroying the terrifying Oklahoma defense. These Pacers are trapped in Brill-Off March played by the team Mark Daen It was a ball and a total shipwreck, with only 16 assists with a maximum loss of 17.
In that disgust, they gave up to 50 points in the painting. In all-say statistics, Indiana was paying attention to the -34- painting break, like each of the previous two integers. After a break of 64-60, the rhythm slowed down in Part 2.
The Pacers promoted the rhythm by minimizing the risk of losses with several actions that guaranteed success to end the play. He’s an old dog, Carlyle 65 years, It appears Indiana has found several entrance doors to the Oklahoma paintings where Shay Gilgauss Allellander opened the par.
The Eastern Champion did not give MVP, the first play was already a declaration of intention, and Pascalciacam attacked the base in post situations, accumulating points and forcing Canada’s first lack. The play of rapid execution at the beginning of the property is because the passage of the latter promotes lightning and the advantage is better sooner and faster it is believed.
Another guaranteed to find a big crack in OKC’s impregnable defense was that Halliburton quickly matched Shy at the start of ownership and then played pick and roles Miles Turner. The Pacers star tormented and suffered Chet Holmgren Isaiah Hertenstein It was very unning to at the exit of the blockade, sometimes infiltrating the penetration, moving around and inducing attacks. Few people read the game like Halliburton, but even a blockage like Turner made life easier, but last night it was 3/11 and 3/11 but only 9 points with five great plugs and screens.
Indiana apparently found multiple ways to harm Oklahoma, and also said statically — it would have said that — and also activated the option to use Halliburton as a blocker to pave the way to painting.
All details convey the previous rhythm and accelerate Best NBA Defense You will also need to make adjustments in the first few seconds of possession. The Pacers are not allowing Halliburton to climb only the ball before Lugenzdort’s overwhelming pressure. They place a fast or Nenbird or McConnell block, take on the task of raising the ball, and therefore give you an option of “0” to perform later. Indiana accelerates the rhythm from the start, allowing Halliburton alternatives to enter to join in seconds, allowing more space to be provided for the stars.
The pressure on the SGA on the defense ended on the other side of the court on a few Canadian points last quarter, struggling to take action before the troublesome defense of his fellow countrymen Nenbirdsomeone who knows him well because they are small.
Broadly speaking, the Pacers did not make any major innovative adjustments to their defense, apart from folding shy in their actions. Low post. Wearing an MVP and making sure you undermine your trust is similar to feeling vulnerable to defense. Indiana appears to have found a magic potion to demolish Oklahoma’s defense, but there are many stretches to say it’s already proven panacea and lightning Nicola Jokic They know how to overcome qualifying.
The next thing happens again early on Friday to Saturday with the Indianapolis rebels. But the surprise is already these real scenarios The NBA ends. The Pacers are not going to step down what the world is saying and expecting.

“Start with me.” Doncic talked about what needs to change in the Lakers
Star player of Los Angeles Lakers Luka Doncic Against the background of the embarrassing defeat of Houston Rockets (96:119), he explained what the team had to change to improve the results:
“I don’t know exactly what needs to change, but something definitely needs to change. We need to figure it out, that’s what we need to do. Everyone should discuss it.”
I know JJ Redick said it would be disturbing. And that’s the way it should be.
As I said, we need to discuss this. It may be uncomfortable, but everyone needs to try harder, starting with me.
We just have to challenge each other. Everyone should challenge themselves and their teammates. “There’s no way to play the way we play, so we’ve got to be better than that.”
