Losing 16 points without reversal. Where is the loss in this game? The luck has been spent, and I have to admit 3 more things

The second game between the Pacers and the Thunder, the Pacers did not replicate the miracle of the previous game, and this game did not complete the reversal. For the Pacers, it is true that they can't beat the loss in this game, and the Thunder directly suppressed the Pacers. There is no way to do this. After all, the Thunder are a powerful league player and it is impossible to lose two games in a row. I lost 16 points and didn’t reverse the situation. Where did I lose this game? I have spent my luck and I have to admit three more things.

To talk about the difference in this game, the Thunder led by 23 points at the most and finally won by 16 points. From the Pacers' perspective, this game did not reverse and lost 16 points in the end. In fact, the Pacers have worked very hard, but there is no doubt that the Thunder will be the better team after adjusting the game strategy. But thinking about it better, the Pacers can win one of the first two games, and this away trip has been completed.

So how did the Pacers lose in this game? First, the main scoring method has failed. The Pacers didn't say they didn't want to win in this game, but their scoring method was suppressed. Inside scoring is the Pacers' main mode, and the result is only 34 points in this game. In addition, the fast break was not made, and the fast break scored only 9 points. When neither of these events has any results, the game can be imagined and the Pacers' scoring is difficult.

Second, the main force collectively fell out. It seems that the five Pacers starters all scored in double digits, but what we need to know is that they are actually very bad in this game. Nesmith made 5 of 12, and was not very efficient. Siakam's 3 of 11 is also a bad existence. As for Halliburton, it seems that he had 7 of 13 shots, but those who have watched the game know that his condition came too late. When the game was decided, the shooting felt like he had come.

Third, I didn't play my own rhythm. The Pacers were completely trapped in the Thunder game rhythm, without making high-quality conversions and high-quality fast attacks. When a Pacer can't run, it's hard to reverse such a big score difference. To put it bluntly, the series is about who can play their own characteristics and who can make the game better. The Pacers did not do this game, while the Thunder was more comfortable.

Of course, in this game, the Pacers have to admit three more things. The first thing is that there is a gap in hard strength, which can be seen from the game. The second thing is that Halliburton cannot wait until the final quarter to perform, and must play in an offensive state early. The third thing is that the Thunder's long rotation can match itself, which everyone has seen in the game. In general, the third game is the battle of Xiaotianwangshan, which is quite critical.
