The NBA playoffs continue, and the Pacers will play Game 3 of the Finals with the Thunder at home. Before the game, Pacers coach Carlisle was interviewed by the media.

Speaking of what the Pacers need to do to make Halliburton play more aggressively, Carlisle said: "Our team has to do better in all aspects. When we do better in all aspects as a team, this will improve all our players' ability to play better."

When asked if we would emphasize three-point shooting in Game 3, Carlisle said: "We have a tactical system that we work hard to stick to. If we can create a high-quality three-pointer phone, we prefer the kind of good opportunity to catch the ball and shoot threes. But it is difficult to do this in the face of the Thunder because Their defense is both diverse and flexible. "

Regarding the game mentality, Carlisle said: "We have emphasized one thing all year: try to avoid emotional ups and downs in good times, no matter how good or bad. The Finals journey is unique, with many two-day intervals in between, and we should live as much as possible in the present moment."

Carlisle also reviewed his relationship with Larry Bird: "I spent the first three years in the NBA, and he was the best player in the world at the time. Later, I worked as an assistant coach and when he first became the head coach, we collaborated again, which was another great opportunity."
