Sports Weekly All-Media Reporter Li Xilin

When the Pacers were 15 points behind in the final quarter, the 65-year-old coach Carlisle was still very calm. He changed into the lineup to fight for life in advance, but there was no panic on his face. Carlisle won the championship with the Celtics when he was a player, and led the Mavericks (now called the Mavericks) to win the championship when he was a coach. The Pacers completed a surprise comeback in the finals G1, and Halliburton once again staged a magical moment. Behind all this, Carlisle's coaching ability is once again perfectly reflected. The last team that fell behind by 15 points in the final quarter of the finals was the Mavericks in 2011, and the coach of that team was Carlisle. That year, he was so heartbroken that King James was so heartbroken that the Heat, led by the Big Three.

Time returns to June 3, 2011, in the second game of the finals, the Mavericks challenged the Heat away. In the fourth quarter, 7 minutes and 13 seconds left, as Wade scored a three-pointer, the Mavericks fell 15 points 73 to 88. It seems that the Heat are going to win another victory and lead 2-0 in the total score.

However, Carlisle's team did not give up. Terry scored 6 points in a row, Kidd made a three-pointer, and Terry made another mid-range shot. The King of Nuo also showed his power, made a mid-range shot, catching the score to 88-90. The Heat were silent at the critical moment, while the King of Nuo became more and more brave. He made a basketball goal and tied the score to 90.

Nowitzki scored a three-pointer with 26.7 seconds left in the game, and the Mavericks overtook the Heat 93-90. The Heat were forced to call for a timeout, and then in the attack, James assisted Chalmers to score a three-pointer to tie the score.

The Mavericks handed over the last attack to Nowitzki. He chose to attack the basket. Facing Bosh's defense, he easily passed it and made a layup with 3.6 seconds left in the game, while the Heat then attacked Wade missed in a hasty attack. The Mavericks took over the last 9 points to dominate the game and completed the final kill.

Although the Mavericks had King No, the team also pursued team attacks. It was Terry and Kidd who launched a counterattack to narrow the scores, so King No. 1 finally took over the game and won the final victory.

This time, Topin, Turner, Nesmith, Nemhard, and Siakam chased points in the final quarter, and finally ushered in the Harry magic moment.

NBA reporter Pasha Baynes said after the game: "Rick Carlisle is a Hall of Fame coach. He has never coached a team with a huge roster, but can always exceed the task. He introduced "smooth" tactics into modern basketball and did not pause at the last moment of the game, so he fully trusted the players. He is a true basketball genius, but he did not receive enough praise."

Magic Johnson said after the game: "Coach Rick Carlisle deserves praise - he is below The halftime, especially in the fourth quarter, made some very good adjustments! "Jason Whitlock praised Carlisle: "I can't believe that the Pacers won this game. It's incredible. Great. Halliburton is such a superstar. Rick Carlisle has been the best coach in the NBA for 20 years."

Carlisle was not particularly outstanding in his player age. He played for the Celtics, the Knicks and the Nets, and averaged 2.2 points and 1.1 assists in his career. In 1986, he helped the Celtics win the championship as one of the team's rotation players.

After retiring, Carlisle worked as an assistant coach in the Nets, the Trail Blazers and the Pacers. As the Pistons coach in the 2001-02 season, he immediately showed outstanding coaching talent, led the Pistons to rise, achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, and was elected the best coach. In the 2002-03 season, Carlisle led the Pistons to the Eastern Conference Finals, but unfortunately he was swept out by the Nets.

Pistons fired Carlisle and hired Larry Brown as the head coach. Then they defeated the luxurious Lakers in the 2003-04 season finals to win the championship, staged a miracle of the Civilians' championship. In fact, the main frame of the piston was polished and molded by Carlisle. Behind the piston's championship, Carlisle made great contributions.

Carlisle went to the Pacers after being fired by the Pistons. He led the Pacers to rise and reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2003-04. It’s just a very regrettable that due to the fight in Auburn Mountain Palace, the Pacers’ main players were severely banned and the team’s cohesion was dispersed. Originally, this team had the opportunity to reach the finals or even the championship.

Carlisle was dismissed from the Pacers in 2007 and came to the Mavericks in 2008. He led the Mavericks to create miracles in the 2010-11 season and defeated the Heat, led by the Big Three, to win the championship. The Mavericks were not favored by the side, but eventually won the championship.

Now in the Pacers, facing the Thunder with 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season, the Pacers are the more unpopular side. At least the Mavericks had the superstar Nowitzki, as well as big-name stars like Kidd, Chandler, Terry, and Marion. In fact, the lineup was pretty good. Although today's Pacers, Halliburton and Siakam are All-Star players, they seem to be inadequate to the outside world. The Thunder has the new MVP Alexander, and its regular season record is so dazzling.

"We know that we are obviously not favored in this duel, but we just love this challenge." Carlisle said, "For me, this is the greatest stage in the sports world, the most rare opportunity, and the most difficult challenge. Because the opponents we have to face, from various data, have indeed redefined basketball in this era. We are facing severe tests."

Carlisle never underestimates any opponent, but instead attaches great importance to powerful opponents, and then tries to fight. Carlisle gave the team a tough character, they never give up and they always fight to the end.

In this game, the Pacers were close to the 4-point gap in the last quarter, and were further stretched to 9 points behind, with only about 2 minutes left. Under such circumstances, many teams may have a collapsed mentality and will find it difficult to turn the tables again. But the Pacers launched a fierce counterattack again and finally won the game. "We were trying to bite the score, and the first half was very difficult. We made 19 turnovers, but fortunately they only used these turnovers to get 9 points. We kept stressing that let's continue to fight," Carlisle said.

Years have passed, and the once elegant young coach has become a 65-year-old bald coach. Carlisle's coaching philosophy has never changed.
