Thunder G2 defeated the Pacers to equalize the score, the head coach adjusted his tactics most important

The Thunder lost in the first game because they used a too small lineup in the last quarter, which made their opponents grab a lot of rebounds. This time the coach replaced a taller player, and Home Green and Harten took turns on the court. The Thunder had 43 rebounds in this game, with 8 more than the opponent. Especially in the first quarter, the opponent scored 0 in the penalty area, which is quite exaggerated.

Thunder assisted 25 times in this game, 12 more times than the first game. After more passes, the offense is smoother, unlike before, Alexander alone. Home Green and Jaylen Williams also shared the scoring pressure.

Alexander continued to perform well, but this time it was more important that he led the entire team. He played for almost 37 minutes, shot more than half of his field goal percentage and made 11 of 12 free throws. The most important thing is that he sent 8 assists, which is much more than the first game.

Pacers made 14 three-pointers in this game, but the penalty area was limited. The Thunder often steals when defending, and makes 15 mistakes in the whole game. This high-pressure defense has been emphasized by the coach since the beginning of the season. The coach did not use a small lineup this time, and no matter how accurate the opponent's three-point shots were, he insisted on using the big guy to protect the basket. Although the opponent's pitcher feels good, the scoring efficiency is still not enough if the inside cannot be opened.

There was a small episode after the game. The NBA's previous change of the finals logo was withdrawn after one quarter. The fans said that it was awkward to add a PS logo on the floor, and later they canceled it directly.

The next third game will be played at home, and the Thunder must adapt to the away environment as soon as possible. The result of the game still depends on who defends well, and rebounds and assists are still key. The two sides are now 1-1 in a big score, and who can win two games in a row will have the advantage.

The Thunder's winning depends on team cooperation and coach adjustments. Alexander sets a record, but winning is not his own credit. In the subsequent games, you must maintain defensive intensity, especially to control the opponent's three-point shooting. The Pacers have to find a way to break through the inside line, otherwise it will be difficult to turn the tables. At the end of the game, fans are discussing the changes in coach employment, especially the effect of big men's rotation. Alexander's data is dazzling, but everyone knows that you have to thank the head coach for his on-the-spot command.

The next game is in Indianapolis, where the home atmosphere is sure to be lively. Whoever wins away games has more hope of advancing. But it's still early to say anything now, let's see the results of the third game first.
