Four major news after the finals G4: The Thunder lost their hearts when winning, Harry took responsibility, and Sika was on par with Jordan James

Basketball

In the fourth game of the NBA Finals on June 14, although the Pacers performed tenaciously in the game, they eventually lost to the Thunder 104-111, and the series score was tied to 2-2. It is worth noting that the discussion after this game tends to be controversial in the game rather than the Thunder’s victory, revealing some potential concerns.

1. Although the Thunder won the reverse, the fans' reaction was not as expected. Normally, a team's reversal victory at a 10-point back should be regarded as a great victory, but the Thunder faces the opposite. Although Alexander scored 15 points in the last 5 minutes of the game, which severely hit the Pacers' hopes, he did not receive the praise he deserved after the game, but instead received a lot of criticism, and his personal style and game style were unagreeable for many fans. In addition, Caruso handed out 20 points and 5 steals when he came on as a substitute, becoming the first substitute player in NBA history to reach 205 steals in the Finals. However, his performance was also controversial, with many steals controversial and even suspected of foul.

All of this makes the Thunder very disliked among the 29 teams, especially except for the fans of our team, other fans are full of dissatisfaction with this. Many NBA media people have expressed their doubts about Tyron Lu coaching the Thunder, and even the Knicks' team record has publicly expressed their dislike of Alexander's game style on social media.

2. The Thunder's victory was largely affected by the referee's penalty, especially the performance of referee Foster has caused a lot of controversy. According to statistics, when Foster enforced the Thunder, the team maintained a full victory, while the Pacers never won. At a post-match press conference, Thunder coach Dagnot unexpectedly praised the referees for their performance when asked about 71 free throws in the game, believing that their decision work in the game was excellent. This remark immediately aroused dissatisfaction among fans, and some American media even joked that the Thunder's dual cores today include not only Alexander, but also Foster, which shows that people pay great attention to the penalty for this game.

3. In the post-match interview, Halliburton showed the style of a general and voluntarily assumed the responsibility for the loss. Although he performed well in the fourth quarter and helped the Pacers take the lead, he failed to show his one-on-one ability like Alexander at a critical moment, which revealed his shortcomings in hard-solving ability, which is also the direction he needs to work hard to improve in the future.

4. In this game, the Pacers' most eye-catching performance was Siakam, who contributed 20 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in the whole game, with the top 7 points in the team. With this result, Siakam became the ninth player in NBA Finals history to score at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in a single game. The previous eight players include Halfrichek, Cheniele, Pippen, Jordan, Iverson, Rondo, James and Butler, and their performances have also been recorded in history.

Overall, although the Thunder won, the controversy and doubts about its performance made the theme of the game more complicated and thought-provoking.
