Everyone saw the scene of the Pacers in the last two minutes. In the end, 1 minute and 51 seconds left, Carlisle replaced a small lineup, mainly Materin, Nemhard, McConnor, and two substitute players. Carlisle did this in the last two minutes, but in fact, it was to withdraw the troops and surrender. As a result, the Pacers G5 finally lost to the Thunder 109-120.
Pacers played well in the first few minutes, both inside and outside, and mid-range attacks, but after only a few minutes of persistence, the power was cut off. After a few minutes, Turner's 2+1 stopped the bleeding for the team, and then the Pacers' offense was stuck again. The Pacers played stumblingly in the first quarter and fell behind 22-32.
The Pacers' play style at the start of the second quarter did not change much. The attack still rushed into the inside first, then floated on the three-point line to attack. At the beginning of the 3 and a half minutes, he also played a combination of inside and outside. Then he couldn't find the feel and couldn't make a shot. After a few minutes of power outage, the Pacers not only did they not attack in the first half, but they also made many mistakes. The Pacers' mistake in one and a half minutes made the Thunder score 12 points. What's particularly bad is that Halliburton made 0 of 4 in the first half and did not score 1 point. At the end of the half, the Pacers fell behind by a big score of 45-59.
When I came back in the second half, the Pacers were not much better. The offensive style was still the same as my nephew's lantern, and rushed into the basket first, then floated on the three-point line to attack, which was not good. However, McConnor exploded, and after two mid-range shots, he made a breakthrough layup again. Who did McConnor play against whom? Under McConnor's outbreak, after three quarters, the Pacers continued to fall behind 78 to 87. In the last quarter of
, only Siakam charged in and out, single-handedly, but one person's strength was very weak, but the Thunder made a fight with everyone. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Carlisle gave up the game early and surrendered. After this game, Halliburton only scored 4 points, which caused heated discussions from the outside world. Only then did he know that Halliburton's muscle strain was injured in this game.
According to famous reporter Shams today, Halliburton suffered a strain on his right calf and he will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the strain.
Shams added on the show: "Halliburton suffered a right calf strain. He will undergo an MRI test to determine the severity of the injury. Last week, his right ankle also felt sore. Once the Pacers and Halliburton got the MRI test, they can determine the severity of his injury, and then discuss whether to let him play on Friday's G6."
This well-known reporter revealed that it is still unclear how serious Halliburton's calf strain is. In addition, Halliburton also had an injury to his right ankle before, so does Halliburton play in Game 6? Now we are still waiting for the test results. At that time, whether Halliburton will play based on the severity of Halliburton's injury will be determined. Therefore, the Pacers' G6 game is likely to be in danger because of Halliburton's absence. Su Qun said that the Thunder will win the away championship in the sixth game. Is this true? Let's wait and see.
