« We’re sorry », Comes to apologize Pascal Miss with fans of his training. Despite their brilliant courses in playoffs, the Pacers failed to win the first title in their history. A cruel game 7 for them who lost their leader, Tyrese Haliburton, after a few minutes of play.
« We really wanted to do it for Indy. We wanted it more than anything, just for the city, for the state, because they deserve it. These people live, breathe basketball, and for me, it was refreshing to be in such an environment, to see how much this sport counts for a whole group of people “Develops the Cameroonian.
He says he had ” flashbacks In some matches where the Indiana audience pushed behind the local team. No doubt he still in mind the breathtaking finale of his team during the first round, to eliminate the Bucks during the Game 5. A crazy end among so many others in this course which will mark, despite the non-obtaining of the title.

Not the most popular team
The latter also realizes that the enthusiasm around his pacers has exceeded the only local framework. A journalist also points out to him that China fans followed their journey very closely.
« I find it incredible. It is also because we play in a way that is not necessarily the most popular in the NBA, where everything often revolves around the stars, and where the team spirit can go into the background. We have shown that we can work like a real team, fight together, play for each other, and have a real chance to win “Describes Pascal Siakam without wanting to talk about” moral victory ».
« We repeated it all year round: we are not a flashy team. We are not the team that everyone wants to watch. And for a while, in Indy, it was like: ‘No one pays attention to us.’ And we managed to make people are interested in, and that is something that we can be proud of. […] We are happy if some people look at us and say to each other: ‘Yes, this team, we like it.’ », Term–t.
