Two wins and one loss. He has the upper hand. '
The tide is changing. Indiana's main target is surprisingly regular league MVP and ace Shai Gilzer Alexander.
To be more precise, it is 'Excluding the stamina of the SGA'.
Game 3 Gilles Alexander scored 24 points and had four assists. His output, the heart of Oklahoma, has dropped a lot. He scored 34 points in Game 2, and Oklahoma won the game.
However, Game 3 was completely different.
Indiana kept Gilders Alexander in the air and defense for the entire game.
ESPN reported that in Game 3, Gilzer Alexander scored 24 points, but made six errors. Indiana is doing its best to reduce its control of the game, setting him as its main defensive target not only in defense but also in offense.
Indiana's Lockdown Defender is Andrew Nemhard. He has a reputation for defense. He has already effectively controlled Jaylen Brunson in the Eastern Final against the New York Knicks.
In an interview with local media, he said 'We're doing everything in our team as a whole to make it hard for Shy Gilgeous Alexander.
According to Genius IQ Tracking, an NBA data company, in Game 3, Shai Gilders Alexander caught the ball at an average of about 20m (65.5 feet) during the attack. The greatest distance in his career, the regular season, and the playoffs.
In order to catch the ball as far away as possible from the rim, Indiana constantly uses bumping in all directions of pressure and off-the-ball, which means it harasses.
Also 'The number of times the ball was taken to the floor was only 23 times. It was reported that it was the second fewest times in the postseason, and Indiana also bullied Gilzer Alexander in attack. It was the main target of attack among 22 field goal attempts and was the most in this playoff.
In other words, Oklahoma's core was Gilzer Alexander, and Indiana decided that reducing his physical strength and control was the most important point of the series.
In this regard, Gilzer Alexander told local media that 'I don't think there's a big problem with physical fitness issues. It's a physical game. There can be ups and downs. We played a lot of physical games. There is no big problem.
