Apart from Halliburton s final kill, don t forget that man

Pacers contributed another magical game, Halliburton's final blow was fatal, and the whole game was only ahead of the last 0.3s. When magic becomes the norm, it cannot be described as magic alone.

Pacers completed a fantasy reversal for the fourth time in the playoffs. They fell behind 7 points in the first round of the playoffs, reversed the Bucks in 48s; fell behind 7 points in the second round in 47s; reversed the Cavaliers by 9 points in the 50s in the Eastern Conference Finals; scored 12:2 in the last two minutes, completing an epic reversal again.

Halliburton has become the focus of people's attention during this period. He is coming to the peak of his career. The young Indiana general is using his magic. The general was born brave and proud, with a sword with a waist of autumn water.

But besides Halliburton's final kill, don't forget that man - Carlisle.

Carlisle returned to Pacers in 2021. After his return, he carried out a series of drastic reforms to Pacers.

They sent away Sabonis Jr., Leville, TJ Turbo and other powerful players, and traded them to the organization's core Halliburton, all-around forward Siakam, and wing Nesmith, and selected Nemhard and Matherine. Except for Turner, all the other players were from the Carlisle era.

Carlisle's tactical concept is team basketball. He asked every player to share the ball, but he didn't have to stick to sharing the ball. He moved frequently and made quick decisions, and combined with the space and creative commander of the five outside world, he created artistic fluidity on the field.

Although Carlisle led the team only to only 25 and 35 wins in the past two years, he knew that nothing would be done overnight.

Finally, the walkers blossomed and bear fruit this year.

Their frequent reversals in the playoffs ultimately depend on Carlisle's tactical arrangement - long rotation.

Their two core players, Halliburton, averaged 35.3 minutes of playing time, and Siakam, was only 33.6 minutes per game, and 35.3 minutes was even the longest playing time among the Pacers.

Compared with the core of other teams who often have more than 40 minutes of game time, the Pacers are like a clear stream.

This also creates frequent reversals for the Pacers. When the game comes to the last few minutes and when the opponent's physical fitness is about to dry up, this is the moment when the Pacers sound the horn of the counterattack. They took advantage of the opportunity when their opponents' physical strength declined to strengthen the intensity and speed of the offense, and repeatedly achieved counterattacks in the last few minutes of the game.

Summary

Carlisle says he hates discussing personal data, they want to play basketball as they should be, and Halliburton is such a player.

He will score 30 points on a certain night, and then only 8 points. More people will watch the score, not the organization, not the pass, even if the pass is the most important reason for uniting a team sport.

And the master and apprentice are writing their own legend in Indiana.
