” It was one of his most memorable games since I’ve been here. Arrived in Indiana in 2021, Rick Carlisle was impressed by the performance of Myles Turner, tonight against the Pelicans. In the victory, his team’s fourth in five games, the pivot recorded his best performances of the season in points (37) and rebounds (12).
His coach believes he followed a game plan ” simple “. ” When they switched on him, he set himself up to be served and punish them inside. He didn’t do anything against nature or that he wasn’t capable of doing. When you play your game based on your strengths, you can be extremely confident, very sure of yourself and very successful. “Recalls the coach whose interior only played the fifth game of his season.
From address to 3-dots
The pivot explains his huge exit by his ability to go up the field. ” When I’m in transition I know I’m faster and sharper than a lot of other greats “, judge Myles Turner who for example took speed Jonas Valanciunas after a push of tempo of Tyrese Haliburton. Author of a dunk on this action, he adds: “ Even if I am not served, an outside will have the ball because it will force the help in defense. »
The giant didn’t just score easy points in transition. In addition to the remarkable free throws (11/11), symbols of his aggressiveness towards the circle, he planted four 3-point baskets (4/7 long distance and 11/18 overall).
” He was good at observing what the defense was doing. He is cerebral in that sense. With his ability to stretch the game and shoot 3-pointers when covering the ball carrier, our opponents are in trouble with him “, analyzes TJ McConnell.
1000 career blocks
In addition to his offensive performance, the interior, which shines with its irregularity this season, has shown itself on the other side of the field. He finished with three blocks, including Zion Williamson (who nearly “posterized” it badly along the way…), thus exceeding the symbolic bar of 1,000 career blocks. He is the 102nd player in history to achieve this feat.
“ It’s something special, I’m glad I did all that with the Pacers jersey “Reacts the one who recently made a declaration of love to the Lakers. “ In the NBA, you don’t reach 1,000 blocks by standing there. He’s been in the elite for a while. He’s the best blocker in the league in my opinion. “Judge TJ McConnell.
Despite the player’s enormous performance, their coach preferred to retain collective success. ” He scored all those points to help our team win. Many of his teammates were great at finding him at the right time. The subject is not the number of points he is able to score or anything else. If we want to be a real team, we’re going to be built on the idea that it doesn’t matter who scores the points “Claims Rick Carlisle to finish.
