Basketball

On May 22, the opening game of the NBA Playoff Eastern Conference Finals started, against the Knicks and Pacers, who ranked third and fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season! The two sides were completely unprepared as soon as the game started, and the Pacers made all the first eight shots, showing a very outstanding team feel. The Knicks were not inferior, especially the point of Towns opened inside and outside early to help the Knicks hold on to the score. This situation continued until the end of the first half, and both sides were completely unprepared half-court balls.. In the second half, Brunson began to strengthen his personal offense. The Knicks widened the score difference to nearly double digits in many games, but Halliburton did not give in at all, and helped the team to catch the score to 87-90 at the end of the third quarter! The two sides could still stand stalemate in the first two minutes until 10 minutes and 04 seconds, the Pacers were only two points behind 92-94.

00:07 Aninobi was lucky enough to pick up the ball, Siakam made a foul in advance, and made one of two free throws (123-125);

00:00 Halliburton hit the line and made a three-pointer, tied the score at 125, and both sides entered overtime!

Those who watched the game should understand that in the last half of the fourth quarter, Nesmith's touch had reached an unstoppable level. It was not that there was a problem with the Knicks' defense. He could hit such a balloon every time. It can only be said that the goddess of luck was on his side today! The biggest failure of the Knicks who were finally dragged into overtime was that with 14 seconds left in the game, Thibodeau made the same mistake as the Nuggets' G1 in the last moment of the Western Conference semi-finals. Let's analyze it! The game was still 14 seconds before the Pacers attack. From the Pacers' perspective, he hit so many three-pointers in a row, so he would definitely choose to continue to let Nesmith shoot this three-pointer. The Knicks only need to do the defense they should do. Taking a step back, even if Nesmith can still hit a three-pointer, he can still hold the final kill time in his hand. If he doesn't hit, he will win the game with a sure win!

Let's take a look at what the penalty tactic will cause. In Nesmith's touch, he cannot miss the penalty. The Pacers who are lagging behind will inevitably choose the penalty tactic. In the fourth quarter, even Brunson made two free throws. The Knicks' free throw feel has always been bad today, and he made 28 of 40 free throws. Why should he compete with the Pacers for free throws in such a big background? Taking a step back, even if Anunobi scored both free throws in the end, the Pacers still had a chance to win or even a chance to tie the ball. This is indeed the case. It is precisely because of this penalty tactic that the Knicks gave the Pacers the last chance to win the ball, which eventually led to a comeback! Judging from the player data, all the Knicks players have shown their strength as they should be, and they can't blame the players for their performance on the field! The coaching gap between Thibodeau and Carlisle is more intuitively reflected in overtime. Facing the Pacers' oppressive defense, Thibodeau did not make any adjustments. Brunson was on the verge of mistakes for a long time, and Carlisle replaced Turner with Toppen in overtime, and ended the game directly with two dunks.

In summary, the reason why the Knicks were turned around with only 6 minutes and 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter was because Thibodeau used a "penalty shot" with 14 seconds left! Give the Pacers the right to win the ball! What do you think? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
