The 2024/25 NBA Finals will stage the sixth round of the focus game, and the Oklahoma City Thunder will go to the road to challenge the Indiana Pacers again. Although the Oklahoma City Thunder is in a good position to win the championship, Daigneault emphasized that even if the strong Tyrese Haliburton is injured, his team should not underestimate the strength of the opponent.

In the fifth round of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-109 with goals contributed by Jaylen Williams, Gilgeous-Alexander and Aaron Wiggins, and the total score became 3-2, which also means that the Oklahoma City Thunder is only one step away from winning the championship.

Oklahoma City Thunder coach Daigneault said in an interview, "We have been trying to put ourselves in the shoes of our opponents. Our mentality now is to start from scratch and not add any new ideas. We are just relying on the mentality that we have built over a long period of time."

It is worth noting that Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton participated in the last game with an injury, and it is still unknown whether Tyrese Haliburton can play in the 6th round of the finals.

Daignolt said, "Never underestimate a great player. If he plays, we expect him to perform at his best. But if he is absent, the Indiana Pacers will also do their best. Most top players are like works of art. They are unique. Pascal Siakam is like this, and so is Tyrese Haliburton. Although they have outstanding abilities, they always play within the team system and will not oppress the operation of the team."

"We have always maintained a step-by-step mentality, even in the rebuilding period. This process cannot skip any steps, and of course we hope to win the game tomorrow. All we can do now is to prepare well, play the game in front of us, and then the next round. As long as you think too much, it will affect your ability in the present."

In addition, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Gilgeous-Alexander said, "I am only focused on Game 6 now. I just want to go all out for this team and be the best I can be. No matter how many games I have to play, how many rounds I have to fight and how many key moments I have to go through, I will only focus on the present and always stick to this belief."
