Halliburton really leads the team to the finals and meets the Thunder led by Alexander, he needs to do better in the following aspects.

1. Play harder! The Thunder are not weak teams, their talents are better! Stronger athletic ability! The overall strength is better! The Thunder have both offense and defense, and has achieved the most impressive record in the regular season league this season. Moreover, this is not their best state. After entering the playoffs, the Thunder's overall strength is not as good as the regular season. They are still prone to nervousness and are still too young. But even so, they played on the Western Conference Finals stage and were just one win away from advancing to the finals. Halliburton and the Pacers still have a regular gameplay, it will be difficult to defeat the Thunder. They need to play super strongly, Halliburton needs to score more points, and play more proactively on the offensive end!

2. Keep fighting quickly! Give full play to your strengths and don’t get stuck in the rhythm of the Thunder! The Pacers should play better on the offensive end and use offense to make up for the shortcomings in defense. If the Pacers can maintain strong firepower output on the offensive end, the Thunder will be very passive. Halliburton wants the Thunder to follow their pace, not the Pacers get stuck in the Thunder. Whoever controls the rhythm will go further from victory!

3. Halliburton needs to do better on the defensive end! It is very difficult to win if you want to play the Thunder team by just offense. The Thunder's offensive firepower is also very strong! The team that has always been able to win the championship is very balanced on both offense and defense! As the core of the team, Halliburton must set an example and defend well! He and Alexander are both defenders, and the two will have a chance to face each other directly. Halliburton has to find a way to limit Alexander and not let him break freely or make a random shot! Once Alexander is successful, the Thunder will be strong overall and will be difficult to defend.

If Alexander really leads the team to the finals this year, if the opponent in the finals is really the Pacers, then he will do better in these aspects!

1. Improve the three-point shooting! The Pacers' offense is very strong. If the offense cannot be matched with the Pacers, it is easy to be taken away by the Pacers in a wave of flowing! After Alexander entered the playoffs, he made poor three-pointers. This is true in the entire Thunder except Caruso, and they always make frequent shots outside the three-point line in the playoffs. Alexander wants to increase his three-point shooting percentage so that he can play more easily.

2. Limit Halliburton's passes! Start with defense! Halliburton's average score per game is not high among stars, and his strongest weapon is passing! If he can limit his contact with his teammates and let others deal with the ball, the Thunder's defense will be half successful.

3.Don't underestimate the enemy! The Cavaliers are the number one in the East and were eliminated by the Pacers! Why are Pacers afraid of Thunder, the number one in the West? They are the ones who play the finals step by step. They don’t have any psychological pressure, and winning one game is profitable! They dare to fight and fight!

4. We need to grab the start and grab the first game! The first victory is crucial to the Thunder! If the Thunder wins the first game, it will be a good hit to the Pacers' information. On the contrary, if the Pacers win, they will become more and more courageous as they fight, and make a big splash and make a wild attack! When facing young soldiers like Pacers, you must suppress them in the first game of the series, so that the subsequent games will be easier to play!

Of course, these are all forward assumptions. Although both teams took a 3:1 lead, the series has not ended yet, and the Timberwolves and the Knicks have a chance to turn the tables and fight back. Until the last moment, don’t think you are stable!
