Knicks Pacers G3 - Defensive victory, Towns outbreak

A very exciting game, compared with the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals were undoubtedly even more exciting, and each game was played to the last moment. After the last game, I said that if the Knicks, who were behind 0:2, want to win, they must make full use of the advantages of the inside, especially the Towns and Miro, and seize the defense and play the position. In this game, Thibodeau began to change, starting with the double towers to ensure height advantage, and then increasing the rotation to increase the confrontation of the defense. In a game where the Pacers were inaccurate in three-pointers, they forced the Pacers to solve the problem in the inside. Hart provided defensive intensity, rebounds and organization in the substitute stage made up for his shortcomings in the starting shooting stage.

Hart's frontcourt rebound was passed to Towns, setting off a horn for counterattack in the fourth quarter. Hart steals Siakam. Towns breaks through and breaks into 2➞1

Hart struggles to protect the rebounds at the last moment. Miro grabbed 3 offensive rebounds in this game, and the starting effect is good. Anunobi didn't make the basket. Miro grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a tip-in. On the surface, it seems that the Knicks won the 20-point explosion in the fourth quarter. In fact, it is more of the advantages accumulated in the inside, the vitality of the substitute, the efforts of the defensive end, and the role of the big head at critical moments.

The Knicks made continuous mistakes in the second quarter and fell behind to 20 points, but the substitutes withstood the pressure and approached the score. The Bridge broke through the inside line, and it was passed by Shamet on the outside line. Shamet broke through again. The Bridge bounced outside and made a three-pointer, helping the team to keep the score difference within 20 points in the second quarter

, making up for the shortcomings of the offensive end. They are the heroes behind the scenes. Although Big Head committed 5 early in the fourth quarter, the team held on until the last moment. We welcomed the return of Big Head.

This is a team-based victory and defensive victory, but they are still very dangerous. The Pacers cannot shoot three-pointers at this level in every game and are forced to play in the singles inside. The Knicks cannot use rotations in a lot of every game and can still have today's rotation performance.

But the Knicks still have a chance. They must insist on playing inside and take advantage of Towns' strength. He is the most important winner in this round. At the same time, the intensity on the defensive end will drag the game from offensive victory to the quagmire of defense. This is the way for the Knicks to win.

The Pacers still have the initiative in the series. They just need to stick to their own playing style, regain their outside feel, use more diverse tactics to find opportunities, and end the game with offense.

Looking forward to fighting again in two days.
