Basketball

On May 26, the NBA Eastern Conference Finals G3 kicked off at the Indiana Pacers' home court. The New York Knicks, who had previously lost two home games in a row, finally found a way to win away. They finally reversed 106-100 and won a game back with a total score of 1-2. The New York Knicks were widely favored before the start of the series, and finally found the feeling of winning in G3, which is really incredible! Leading by Brunson and Towns, the Knicks performed very well this year in the regular season, locked in third place in the Eastern Conference early, defeating the Detroit Pistons 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs, and facing the defending champion Boston Celtics in the second round, the New York Knicks were not ruthless and eliminated the defending champion 4-2. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks vowed to avenge the revenge of being eliminated by their opponents 4-3 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals last season. But ideals are perfect, but reality is very skinny. G1 home Knicks were once led by 17 points, and were hit by Nesmith's three-pointer in the fourth quarter, and finally lost in overtime. G2 faced Siakam, a natural 39-pointer in the world, and the New York home fans could only leave the court with tears in their eyes. The team was forced to the edge of the cliff 0-2.

Judging from the lost G1 and G2, Brunson and Towns of the Knicks were still very sharp on the offensive end. Brunson scored 43 points in G1 and Downs scored 35 points in G2 Brunson scored 36 points and 11 assists, and Towns scored 20 points and 7 rebounds. But the Knicks' problem is that they rely too much on the starter 5 Tigers. Faced with the Pacers' multiplayer rotation, the Knicks always collapsed in the fourth quarter due to lack of physical strength. Thibodeau, who has always been stubborn in this game, finally changed the team, Mitchell Robinson was taken to the start, and Shamet and Wright were added to the rotation team, making the Knicks go from a 7-man rotation in the playoffs to a 9-man rotation. After the first quarter started, the Knicks expanded the rotation range and allowed Hart to play as a substitute to drive the performance of the substitute lineup, but the results were not good. In the first quarter, the Knicks trailed the Pacers 26-30, and the substitutes scored 2-13. In the second quarter, the Pacers continued to bloom at multiple points, and the 10 players on the team scored points. McConaughey came on as a substitute and scored the highest 10 points in the team. At the end of the half-time game, the Pacers gradually widened the score difference 58-45.

From the first half, facing the Pacers' crazily speeding up and counterattacking, the Knicks were more tired of dealing with it. The team's substitute only scored 7 points in the first half, while the Pacers' substitute scored 23 points, which was a straight decision. Brunson of the Knicks made 2 of 9 shots in the first half, scoring 11 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Anunobi made 2 3-pointers and scored 10 points and 1 rebound, and Towns was in poor form and only scored 4 points and 6 rebounds. Halliburton of the Pacers scored 9 points and 3 rebounds, Nemhard scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Turner scored 9 points and 1 rebound. In the second half, both sides had bad shooting skills, but the Pacers still rely on Halliburton and Turner's performance and still maintained the gap at around 15 points. Although Anunobi + Bridges + Brunson scored repeatedly and struggled to support the Knicks, except for the three of them, others could not pose a threat to the Pacers on the offensive end. At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks trailed the Pacers by 10 points 70-80. As soon as the fourth quarter started, the Knicks Downs exploded and scored 7 points in a row, helping the Knicks narrow the gap to 3 points. Then Towns hit a 3-pointer again to help the Knicks overtake the score. At the critical moment, after Siakam blocked and free throws helped the Pacers equalize the score 98-98, Brunson broke through Nesmith and scored 2 points and took the lead again. With Halliburton making all 2 free throws, the Pacers caught up with only 2 points 100-102. Then Brunson held the pressure and made two free throws again, helping the Knicks narrowly defeat the Pacers 106-100 and win a game 1-2.
