Really deserved! Brunson was just elected as the key teacher of the year last week and completed a three-point winning goal today

May 2nd News In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Pistons 116-113 away, and advanced to the Eastern Conference semi-finals 4-2.

In the last game, Brunson was silent, with only 4 of 16 shots and 16 points, only one game away from playing in the series. However, this game ushered in a strong rebound and scored 30 points in the first three quarters. Although he made 1 of 8 shots at the last quarter, he was not ruthless at the critical moment, and the quasi-final three-pointer in the first 4.3 seconds of the final game killed the game. In the whole game, Brunson made 15 of 33 shots and 3 of 10 from the outside, scoring the highest 40 points and 7 assists. In 6 games in the series, Brunson scored 30+ in 5 games, making him the biggest contributor to the Knicks' promotion.

Last week, Brunson just beat Jokic and Edwards and was elected as the key player of the year this season. He averaged 5.6 points per game (first in the league), shooting percentage as high as 51.5%, hit 52 sports goals and 28 assists in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.

Facing the Pistons in this game, Brunson made a key three-pointer with 4.3 seconds left in the final quarter, helping the Knicks eliminate the Pistons 4-2 to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, proving the value of the key gentleman of the year.
