The Thunder are in trouble! Although they tied 2-2, there is bad news that determines the title!

The first 4 games of the NBA Finals have been played, and the two sides have tied 2-2 in big scores. Judging from the big score, the two sides are evenly matched, but the progress of the first 4 games is different! As soon as G1 came up, the Thunder was very imposing at home, and established a double-digit lead early. Even with more than 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Thunder was still 15 points ahead, but the Pacers once again showed their unique key ball ability and relied on their outstanding performance in the last two minutes to complete the reversal. G2 Thunder quickly adjusted, learned from the last moment of the first game, and began to re-activate the double tower combination, and finally firmly controlled the advantage of about 20 points. This time, the Pacers surrendered at 4 minutes to the end of the game, and the two sides tied 1-1! On the bench of the G3 Pacers, Matherine and McConnell played the role of the surprises. The Thunder collapsed again at the critical moment. The Pacers led 2-1 in the series, and there was no room for Dignot to start in G4. He restarted the double towers and adjusted Alexander's rotation playing time. In the critical moment, the new MVP dominated with guaranteed physical fitness. The Thunder completed the reversal away and tied 2-2 in the series!

Although the Thunder tied the big score at 2-2, the current situation is not so friendly to them. After the G4 game, they have multiple exchanges, which directly determine the final ownership of the championship!

Bad News 1: Homgren's ankle injury! In the fourth game of the

series, Homgren sprained his ankle many times on the court. When the Thunder re-activated the double tower lineup, his importance on the court was self-evident, because the Pacers' three major Neciakam, Shin Turner and Toppin are all players with extremely strong athletic ability, excellent movement speed, and three-pointer threat. Therefore, in this round of series, Haten had to perform well without playing against the Western Conference team, which is also an important reason why he was pressed on the bench in the first three games. G4 restarted the starting lineup of the two towers. The Pacers seized this point and played crazily to block and cooperate. They accurately grasped the flaws that Harten was slow and unable to defend. In the first 5 minutes, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers, opening the situation early. In this situation, Homgren's offensive and defensive characteristics are an important weapon for the Thunder to match the Pacers' inside line. None of them. When Homgren sprained and rested in the second half of the third quarter, Harten single tower was present, and directly let the opponent beat Toppen. It was not until he returned to the court that the Thunder slowly stabilized the situation.

Homegren can attack independently, shoot three-pointers, follow outside the three-point line on the defensive end, and the inside frame protection is also the top in the league. If he is affected by an ankle sprain in the next game, this will be a big trouble for the Thunder!

Bad News 2: 4 games have passed, and no way to restrict Pacers’ role players has been found! After 4 games of

, we can find that as the top team in the league in the regular season defensive ability, the Thunder has never found a way to limit the Pacers' role players. Until now, 6 players on the Pacers have averaged double-digit points per game, and 2 players on the Pacers have scored nearly 10 points per game! From this data, we can see that the Thunder's defense has not been targeted, which has allowed the Pacers to still play perfect team basketball. After the entire playoffs, we will find that the Pacers team is actually the role players. The team's star Halliburton plays more like a key player. He retains physical fitness in the first three quarters and takes over the game at the last moment of the fourth quarter. This is the Pacers' consistent strategy used in the playoffs. In the first four games of the finals, the role players stand up to change the situation. The Thunder must find a way to crack it in the next game. They cannot let the Pacers character player open, and Halliburton can still retain enough physical fitness to play critical moments. But judging from the first four games, they have not solved this problem!

Bad News 3: Public opinion pressure from referees to judge! The

series has reached this level, and after the G4 game, Foster's law enforcement issues have successfully become a hot search in the United States. Both basketball experts, commentators, and even players all agreed that the referee's penalty criteria changed the final result of the fourth game! The league gave a referee report after the game, showing that there were no misjudgments in the last two minutes. The focus of the fans' discussion is of course not the referee's final judgment, but the unification of law enforcement standards. Matherine's key 4 free throws + an early foul that was not sent out twice was a real problem. This is a real problem of making mistakes, and no one can blame. After entering the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Thunder players did not give the referee a chance to call. This is also a way to seize the loopholes in the referee's report only showing the last two minutes of the game, but the inconsistent penalty standards affecting the first 46 minutes of the game are the main reasons why fans complain. The NBA League is ultimately a league that needs to rely on fans to make money.

The discussion on referee's penalty is not possible. I believe that the league will not turn a blind eye to the next game. In the next game, the league will not use the referee to control the game so blatantly. Once the referee can really enforce the law fairly and impartially, the strength of both sides will be equal! To sum up, Homgren's injury problem, the inability to limit the performance of Pacers' role players, and the referee's judgment standard after public pressure are all bad news for the Thunder, and these three points can directly determine the ownership of the championship.
