After the Pacers lost G5, Carlisle and the coaching staff are likely to make the following four major adjustments.

NBA Finals G5, the Pacers lost to the Thunder and lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain! The Thunder was 2:3 behind the score, and the championship point had already appeared in the finals. For Pacers, if they want to compete for the championship, then the G6 will inevitably make major adjustments and changes.

Based on the situation in the first 5 games, this article believes that Carlisle and the Pacers coaching team are very likely to make the following four major adjustments.

1. Activating Halliburton

NBA is this league that plays the team as the stars. If the Pacers want to win, Halliburton must perform well! This is good in the finals, so you get points.

Halliburton made 0 of 6 shots in the G5 game and scored 4 points with only free throws. The statistics are 4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers, which is definitely abnormal. Therefore, G6 still activates Halliburton's "space" to let him activate the speed and find space.

2. Control errors

G5 Pacers made too many mistakes! Of course, it can also be understood as the Thunder's defense has worked, and the core reason is that the Pacers' rhythm has been cut off. The Pacers' match rate was 0.5% slower than usual, and the entire team was "liked" by the Thunder!

G5 Pacers made 22 mistakes, which is exactly twice that of the Thunder.

3. Adhere to G4's defensive strategy against SGA

In fact, G4's defensive strategy against SGA is still OK! However, when both sides' physical fitness declined in the last 4th quarter of G4, SGA persisted. Looking at the 5 games, G4's defensive strategy and effect are still the best. The effect of

G5 on SGA has obviously declined! We still have to adhere to the G4 strategy, and this "refund consumption" method has been successfully achieved in G1.

4. The play style should be concise and the finals should be played to the G6 stage. Psychological pressure must be an important influencing factor. Therefore, G6's playing style should be concise, requiring major stars such as Halliburton and Siakam to "count the points" to play singles, and they must have some explosive KPIs.
