The Knicks lost G1 and found out three failures! Thibodeau + Anunobi is pure undercover, Brunson is really alone!

NBA Playoff Eastern Conference Finals G1, the Knicks lost to the Pacers 135-138 overtime. The Knicks played in this game, and they performed poorly in the last four or five minutes. They could not match the intensity of offense and defense in overtime, and the final result was that they lost the game. They are the culprits in this game. The first defeat was definitely Thibodeau, because he was in a mess in this game. As they widened the score gap in the last quarter, the quality of the defense obviously declined. Especially Nesmith, the reason why he scored continuously was to get open positions through pick-and-roll. Unfortunately, after Nesmith scored two or three consecutive three-pointers, Thibodeau did not make the first adjustment, which eventually caused the opponent to continue to approach the score difference. And in the last few minutes, he actually used free throw tactics, which eventually caused his own free throw of 2 of 4. In addition, the defensive intensity in overtime has not been recovered, and his decision is completely undercover.

plus Anunobi, he is also an undercover performance. He made 6 of 15 shots in the game, scoring 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, which looked pretty good. Unfortunately, he did not make a free throw, made a mistake, and kept a poor shooting percentage. Even if he was a little normal, he won the game and he became Nesmith's scope completely. In this year's playoffs, his performance has never been very good. He cannot recover and will waste too many opportunities.

and even Brunson was a big failure at the last moment. You have to know that during that time, Brunson not only made irons but also made mistakes. Because when you are double-teamed, it is difficult for Brunson to easily crack it. More importantly, he seems very unique on the court, obviously getting ahead, disrupting the rhythm of other players, and other players cannot get more ball rights, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks cannot respond to scoring in the last moment. These three people must reflect on it after the G1 ends.
