Indianapolis – The star of the Indiana Pacers, Tyrese Haliburtonhe dismissed any concern about his state for the third game of the NBA ends. After Tuesday’s training, he acknowledged that he dealt with a problem at the bottom of the leg, but that he felt good and that he would not be affected in any way for the third game.
“I don’t think there is anything else to add,” he said Tyrese Haliburton. “I feel good and I will be ready for the third game.”
Tyrese Haliburton He lightened from the press conference after the game, after scoring 17 points in the second game, a defeat for 123-107 in Oklahoma City on Sunday night. In Tuesday’s training, Haliburton wore the right -wing ankle, but according to coach Rick Carlisle, the Pacers star base was not limited on the court.
“I know he has some inconvenience,” Carlisle said Tuesday. “He feels it. But he improves every day. I don’t think they will hear him exaggerate.
“This is the time of the year where there is nothing better than this. The atmosphere, interest, opportunity, return and be at home … that is, there are so many things to get excited. We have a couple of boys who are not very well; I don’t think anything prevents them from playing.
Instead of spinning a possible injury, Haliburton focused much more on his need to improve for the third game. Averages 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists with 50% success in field shots in this series, thanks to two last consecutive rooms. After Sunday’s game, he acknowledged that he needed to improve in the first half to prevent the paers from losing for two digits, something easier to say than to do against the defense of the Thunder.
“They are very connected in defense,” said Haliburton. “I feel the coverage changes. The coach (Mark) Daigneault is not afraid to do things on the march. It does nothing too traditional.
“They really have done it all year. I simply feel that they are willing to change things. The most important thing is the staff. His staff is different from that of all others.” Additional defensive attention has been a recurring theme during the postseason, since rival teams try to remove the ball from Haliburton, but Carlisle pointed out a big difference with the Thunder.
“The difference is that Oklahoma has more players to resort to a great player,” said Carlisle. “We have lived these situations many times, not only during the playoffs, but also during the regular season, not only this season, but also in previous seasons. We will have to adapt and create better situations. We will have to be better.”
For Haliburton, Improve begins by reviewing the recordings. It has become a meticulous observer of recordings in recent seasons, which has helped him already the Pacers to adapt to match.
Indiana has not lost two games in a row from March 8 to 10.
“Playing two games against these guys is really good,” said Haliburton. It gives me more videos to see, to see where I can improve. I feel that I have not been very good in the first two games. I just try to take advantage of what I can to prepare for the third game, trying to be the best version of myself.
