G1 in the Eastern Conference Finals made a shocking comeback! Brunson scored 40+, but he said this when interviewing him after the game!

Congratulations to the Pacers for overtime away from home 138-135. The excitement of this game is not comparable to the Western Conference Finals. The "spear and shield" confrontation is not an exaggeration to say that it is fistful.

Originally led by 17 points in the fourth quarter, I thought that the Knicks would go to work on other things if they win. Unexpectedly, the result of the game was reversed by the Pacers. The court changed rapidly and I couldn't relax for a moment. Not only the players on the court, but we fans were the same. Otherwise, if we missed the exciting live broadcast, we could only go back to watch the replay!

I still vaguely remember the 2004 Rockets vs. Spurs. When they were behind in the final quarter, not only the fans on the scene, but also the fans who were sitting in front of the TV turned off the phone and left. Unexpectedly, McGrady was like a "god possession" and scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds to win the victory. Although I was able to make up for it through video later, I probably can't feel the atmosphere on the scene again! So no matter what the competition process is, you still have to watch it all, and you may have surprises.

Okay, let's not talk much about it, and we're back to the game. Brunson did burn out this game. He made 15 of 25 shots in the game, scoring 43 points and 5 assists, and the efficiency value was full! But no one expected that "Cheng Yaojin" would appear halfway and be intercepted by Nesmith (20 points in a single quarter), otherwise it would have become Brunson's Battle for the Gods. He fought against Carlisle's 10-man rotation with his own strength. He was excited to think about it!

But losing is losing. After the game, Brunson said of Nesmith: "We all know that he has such shooting ability, and excellent teams can always hand the ball to the hottest shooter in the team, so we must praise the Pacers' performance.

"When we realized that Nesmith felt hot, we had done our best to block him in the positional battle. But when converting the offense, we gave him the opportunity to make three-pointers easily, and that's the problem. ”

In fact, the general meaning is very obvious, that is, we have tried our best to guard against him, but because of the physical strength in the last quarter, he was given many opportunities for open three-pointers!

Speaking of this, we have to mention whether Thibodeau's "Five Donkeys Tactics" is universal and whether it can be implemented throughout the series. In this game, the average playing time of the five starting players is as high as 41.5 minutes, and the 28-year-old Bridges has reached 46 minutes, and the playing time is basically full. On the other hand, the Pacers have averaged 37.6 minutes in the starting lineup. Nasmith, who led the team to counterattack the Knicks in the fourth quarter, only 38 minutes, which is still basically full in the fourth quarter. In the case!

The "iron-blooded basketball" that Thibodeau insists is not suitable for playing Pacers. Carlisle is good at tapping everyone's potential and everyone has a chance to play. Although the "high-quality horse" cannot match the two sides, the Pacers still have "medium horses" and "low-quality horses". What is the saying? Kill the master with random punches, and 10 people will drag you down. If Thibodeau G2 still uses the "Five Donkeys Tactics" to not go to the bench to find surprises, then what is waiting for the Knicks will be eliminated!

After all, in front of Carlisle's basketball calculator, brute force alone cannot be solved!
