17 points in a big reversal, 5 points in a desperate defeat! The Eastern Heroes have shown their true colors, and Thibodeau is about to change the formation

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the East and West Finals are exciting. The specific situation is: the Knicks lag behind the Pacers 0-2, and the Thunder leads the Timberwolves 2-1! In the West, they played all three games, the Thunder won 41 points in two games, and the Timberwolves won 42 points in one game, which is reasonable and profitable. The two teams should also fight in G4; in the East, the East, they played every game to a critical moment, and the suspense was full, but the Knicks were forced to the edge of the cliff, and I had to give this Eastern giant team a vaccination!

This year's playoffs, the Eastern Conference is full of upsets! Especially in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers, with 64 wins, were suffering from injuries, the Pacers 4-1 gentleman swept the opponent, highlighting one with many soldiers and wide players, and the brothers were in a hurry to break gold; the defending champion with 61 wins also lost Jingzhou carelessly, and was reversed by the Knicks for two consecutive home games. Tatum suffered a major injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon in G4, and the Knicks finally overturned the opponent 4-2, highlighting a decisive change. Brunson showed his true character in the key teacher at the decisive moment! When the Pacers and the Knicks met in the Eastern Conference Finals, many people sighed: This is a destiny duel that travels through time and space, and it is also a head-on confrontation between team basketball and superstar basketball. It is possible that anyone can die! The script of the

Eastern Conference Finals Series is also developing in the direction expected by the outside world, but it is becoming increasingly unfriendly to the Knicks! In the G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks once held a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the Pacers relied on Nesmith's 6 three-pointers in the last quarter and Haliburton's tie and two-pointers to drag the game into overtime. Brunson and Towns missed a tie three-pointer in overtime, and the Knicks suffered a 17-point comeback. In the G2 of the Eastern Conference Final, the two teams faced the top of the ball, tied 17 times and led alternately 19 times. The suspense of the game was delayed to the decisive moment. Brunson missed a tie for three-pointer, and the Knicks finally lost 5 points! The Knicks lost two home games in a row and fell behind 0-2. I am bluntly speaking, in front of the Pacers, the Knicks, the Eastern Conference giant team, once again appeared!

First of all, we must admit that the Knicks are by no means a pseudo-strong team. Whether it is defeating the Pistons 4-2 in the first round or overturning the Celtics 4-2 in the second round, the Knicks' starting five tigers showed unparalleled offensive and defensive balance. The combination of Brunson + Downs + Anunobi + Hart + Bridges can attack and defend well, and the five-for-one lineup is quite good! More importantly, they have NBA key player of the year Brunson, who always stands up to take over the game in the final quarter. But it is undeniable that the Knicks are not perfect. The Knicks are a team that relies heavily on the starting five Tigers. Brunson can solve many problems of the team and even cover up many of the team's shortcomings. But as former NBA player Thomas Jr. said: Thibodeau's team can't hold on until the end of each year because he never trusts the substitute!

Especially in front of the Pacers, which have many soldiers and widespread generals, the Knicks seemed to be paying back the debts of the first two rounds, and they were declining again and again, and the more they reached the critical moment, the weaker they became. Towns' output on the offensive end cannot make up for the opponent's card swiping on the defensive end. According to statistics, when Towns is on the court, the Pacers can score 130.5 points per 100 rounds! Even if Brunson has three heads and six arms, he cannot lead the Knicks out of the sea of ​​suffering! After the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Brunson averaged 39.5 points + 8 assists per game, which was excellent, but he would only become more and more tired and struggle! In contrast, the Pacers, Carlisle is worthy of being a master of tactics. He has no doubt about using people. 11 people rotated and pulled them all. Nesmith, Halliburton, and Sika can stand up and sprinkle salt on the Knicks' wounds!

0-2 behind, the Knicks' life is hanging on the line! According to statistics, the teams that were behind 0-2 in the division finals had a final record of 6 wins and 76 losses, with a winning rate of only 7.3%. In another statistics, the team that fell behind 0-3 had a final record of 0 wins and 151 losses in the series! In other words, the Knicks have no way out, and G3 is a life-and-death battle that comes early! According to NBA famous reporter Ian Begley, Thibodeau will take the initiative to change the lineup and replace Hart with Miro! So far in the playoffs, the Knicks' starting positive and negative value has been -50, ranking first to the bottom of all teams. Miro has good rebounding and franchise protection, which may be the reason why Thibodeau wants to reuse him! After all, the Pacers' offense is too out of control and it is out of control. The Knicks are "single and weak" and must not be brought into the Pacers' offensive rhythm. Only by improving their defense can they have a chance to go against the will of heaven and change their fate! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
