G1 defense is 0.3 seconds and the final quarter of G4 is 32-18! Why is Carlisle the Pacer s Dinghai Needle?

The most surprising thing about this finals is not the young impact of the Thunder, but the Pacers' 65-year-old coach - this old man who had already bald early on, took an underrated "civilian army" to play tactical games into a teaching site.

G1 defends 0.3 seconds of the finals: Carlisle's "microscopic level" in the last 0.3 seconds of the finals G1, when the Thunder called for a timeout to arrange the finals, even the commentator was guessing "Air relay or three-pointer". Carlisle's reaction was like dismantling precision instruments: he stared at the field - Turner and Siakam suddenly pointed at Wallace at the open at the same time, and immediately shouted a timeout.

"Suspend back, Toppin went to defend Wallace, others kept staring at people, Turner guarded the basket. "This wave of adjustment seems to give up interfering with the serve, but in fact, it uses 5 defenses and 4 to compress the space. As a result, the Thunder's final pass was directly destroyed by Turner, and Carlisle used the finest defensive granularity to tear down Degenot's tactical plan.

At that time, I saw someone in the live broadcast room barrage "Did Carlisle look at the Thunder Tactical Board in advance?" Later, I realized: this is not a peek, it was a "tactical intuition" developed in 24 years of coaching career - he knew too well how young coaches would play cards in their life and death moments.

G3 final quarter 32-18: Carlisle's "Tactical Array Change Dictionary"

If 0.3 seconds is a on-site reaction, the 32-18 attack wave in the final quarter of G3 is Carlisle's "Tactical Textbook".

The Thunder was led by Jaylen Williams in the last quarter, and Carlisle went directly to "boxone" (four-pointed): Mathering chased and defended, pushed the ball to delay, and forced Williams to walk on the left side that he was not good at - as a result, this guy broke through three times in a row and made a blow. When the Thunder replaced Alexander, Carlisle cut back to the target in seconds, led the defense online and double-teamed off the line, forcing Alexander into a "one-on-one challenge mode".

The offensive end is even more amazing: McConnell's tactic of singles against Alexander on the top of the arc, Siakam first pulled Homegren to the weak side, and put the outside shot and cleared the middle. Although McConnell failed to make a shot, Nembhard made a tip-in in the chaos. This is not a temporary intention? It is clearly a "misplaced script" drawn on the tactical board in advance.

Post-match statistics, in the 32 points in the Pacers' final quarter, 15 points came from targeted tactical execution - Carlisle's tactical library, which is much deeper than we imagined.

From the Piston Iron Coach to the Pacer Magician: Carlisle's "Evolutionary Philosophy"

Do you think this old man can only play tactics? Wrong. His terribleness lies in "evolving with the team".

In his early years, he was "system control", relying on Prince and Billups' discipline to defend; when he went to the Mavericks, he handed over the ball to Kidd and created the 11-year championship of "Nowitzky + Team Three-pointer"; now he has led the Pacers, he has become the "Running and Boom Master", the first in the league in the playoffs' offensive efficiency in the past two years.

"I am not the smartest coach, nor the best communication, but I am the best at adapting to the environment. " Carlisle's words hide his coaching code - I don't rely on superstars, don't believe in the system, just look at what the team needs.

Just like Nesmith and Toppin, before coming to the Pacers, they are "scrap materials", but now they have become the "key puzzle" in the tactical system; Halliburton said that he "tactical adjustments are geniuses, and even more experts in tapping potential." This is really not a compliment.

Lead 2-1 in the finals: Carlisle's "Champion Essence" is now leading 2-1. According to historical data, the team leading 2-1 in the finals has a probability of winning the championship of nearly 80%. But what is more important than the data is the "team culture" brought by Carlisle: they play team basketball but allow players to "play casually"; the tactical manual is so thick that it can be used as a brick, but the tacit understanding on the field is hidden in the data and cannot be calculated.

Just like playing against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Carlisle used "zipper tactics" to change his moves, and used a three-pointer to cover the outside bullets - this "chaotic in an orderly manner" makes the defenders never guess the next move.

Degnot used similar tactics to drag in overtime last season, but now he is "recommending the other person with his own way" - netizens joked that "It turns out that Daegnot is Carlisle's closed disciple" is not entirely a joke.

basketball answer, coaching on Carlisle's tactical board for 24 years, in 24 styles, Carlisle proves one thing: a good coach does not use a fixed pattern to set the team, but allows the team to find their own answer in his system.

The Pacers nowadays are not super giants or talent-supervised, but they have a 65-year-old coach with a "tactical encyclopedia" and a coach's heart that is always evolving.

Perhaps this is the most moving thing about basketball - when talent hits the extreme, what really determines the outcome is the details hidden in the gaps in the tactical board, and a coach's awe and love for the game.
