Duan Ran: Incredible! Where the miracle happened!

Pacers experienced overtime defeat of the Knicks, 1-0 in the series.

The most incredible reversal this season, the most exciting single game this season.

As a fan, I am excited and proud to see basketball like this.

As a commentator, I feel honored and delighted to experience this process personally. 6 minutes and 26 seconds before the end of the game, Towns took Hart's transfer ball and scored a 26-foot three-pointer.

At this time, New York had scored 111 points, holding a huge advantage of 17 points.

At this node, the sideline commentator expressed his feelings-

Pacers should have been the team that focused on rhythm, but today their speed was cut by the Knicks.

I sincerely hope that my friends will remember this sentence.

After careful consideration, this is indeed the case.

After all, the word rhythm is expressed in basketball using Pace.

This is an interesting detail, and it also coincides with the Pacers' team name (and their current style).

But--

Basketball is played by people after all.

No one believed that the pace of the walker alone could return.

Except for every player of the Pacers.

When the Pistons won the championship in 2004, Larry Brown believed that most teams that can go far in the playoffs have their background and qualities.

20 years later, the value of this sentence is still increasing.

The background color of the Thunder is defensive counterattack, while the background color of the Knicks is offensive and defensive balance and short rotation. The background color of the Timberwolves is size and athletic ability. Where is the

walker?

The commentator said it very accurately - the speed and rhythm of the team.

So the Pacers' counterattack began.

Nemhard dribbled lightly and made a jump shot with a step back.

Sica's personal offensive skills are smooth and precise.

Halliburton calmly read New York's defense, assisting Nesmith with a three-pointer.

There are 4 minutes and 45 seconds left before the end of the game, and the biggest surprise of this game officially appeared on the stage.

91 seconds later, Nesmith made his second personal three-pointer in this quarter. The story has not been told yet.

2:2:50 seconds before the final game, Brunson responded to Nesmith's long shot.

Knicks lead by 14 points - if it is a normal script, it should kill the game at this time.

But--

New York's opponent is the Pacers, and the team legend Reggie Miller commented on the sidelines.

Halliburton scored a 29-foot long shot, the ball passed through the Nets, and scored in 12 seconds.

Nesmith received a pass from Shepard, a 25-foot three-pointer and a 12-second goal.

The Madison Square Garden was silent at this time.

Sica assisted, Nesmith scored a 26-foot three-pointer, and scored a goal in 7 seconds.

Downs scored a layup.

Sica assisted again, Nesmith scored a 30-foot long shot, but still scored a goal in 7 seconds.

speed, rhythm, extreme attack.

ESPN said after the game that this is the Pacers' basketball. 29 seconds before the final game, Brunson made a mistake, Sika completed the steal, Halliburton passed the ball -

Nestmith 27-foot three-pointer, his sixth three-pointer in a single quarter, a historical record.

is still a 7-second goal - Pace. After

, Halliburton magically retreated and shot a goal with a bounce. The

match enters overtime.

The Walker finally—extremely, madly, incredibly—completed the reversal. The core of the

game is actually not as simple as it seems. Coach

Thibodeau led the first 43 minutes of the game.

Knicks' short rotation and physical strangle battle were a great success.

Brunson and Towns combined for 78 points.

The latter is consistently tough and persistent from offense to defense. The

Pacers' inside line was almost destroyed.

Indiana is the league's No. 1 Quickspeaker, and New York has the strongest ability to switch defenses to date.

Coach Thibodeau took the initiative to use Payne and McBride to try to match the Pacers' speed.

He even gave Brunson six minutes off in the second quarter.

But-

He still underestimated the pacers and Halliburton's rate.

On the surface, the creator of the miracle was Nesmith.

6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and in the last 4 minutes of regular time, he scored 20 points.

But - The underlying logic of the Pacers is the extreme speed-up attack led by Halliburton.

At this moment, Rick Carlisle is the best coach in the league. In the last 9 minutes of the game, Halliburton scored 8 points and sent 4 assists.

plus a magical equalizer shot.

Is this really the overrated player in the eyes of the American media?

I don't know.

Miller, as a team celebrity, was relieved and even gave him a positive expression.

Sometimes I think, this may be the reason why we love basketball.

17-point reversal, replicating Miller's moment before Miller's eyes.

Nestmith Miracle Day.

The Pacers' team never give up on speed, madness and toughness.

The basket is like the sea, it is enough to accommodate all miracles.

This is a wonderful script that belongs to the Walker alone, but it is not the first time.

Since the playoffs, they have fallen behind by 7 points and more than one minute before the end of the game three times.

Indiana's answer is surprisingly consistent.

Reversal.

Many years ago, the NBA had a classic slogan - where miracles happened.

This night, the place to witness the miracle is Madison Square Garden. Why can a miracle happen?

Halliburton and Nesmith said-because we both believe in each other.
