The final quarter is 17 points in the reversal! The plot of the G1 God of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers extreme turnaround, Brunson scored 43 points in vain

On May 22, the NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Final kicked off, with the Knicks playing against the Pacers at home. In the first two rounds of the series, the Knicks eliminated the Pistons and the defending champion Celtics one after another, while the Pacers eliminated the Bucks and the Cavaliers. The two dark horses finally stood on the final stage, and they had one thing in common: they were very tough and staged a 20-point extreme reversal many times. According to the prediction given by the US media "BR", the probability of the Knicks winning the Eastern Conference championship is 60.5%, and the Pacers is 39.5%. In the Eastern Conference semi-finals last year, the Pacers blocked the Knicks 4-3 from the East Finals, but they met three times in the regular season this season, and the Knicks 2-1 Pacers. The Knicks are more optimistic, but the team has a very big hidden danger, and the starting lineup is too tiring.

Anunobi and Bridges both had On-Off values ​​in the playoffs below -20, including the Knicks starting the Five Tigers lost 5.9 points in the 100-leg playoff game, which is also the only one of the four final teams in the division. In the words of New York media, Thibodeau must give McBride and Mitchell Robinson more time to share the main pressure. On the Pacers, the team maintained 9 players in the playoffs, with 6 players scoring in double digits per game, and 5 players averaging more than 14.6 points per game, with very average scoring points. Moreover, Halliburton performed a buzzer-beating final two times in the first two rounds and grew into a playoff-level superstar. However, the Pacers have reached the Eastern Conference Finals nine times and have advanced to the finals only once. They are the worst record among all the teams in the league that have played at least three division finals.

Both teams made perfect shots at the beginning, Nemhard scored a three-pointer, Turner was mid-range, and Halliburton glided against Brunson for a layup. Bridges received the ball and ate the cake, Brunson made a back jump shot, and Towns made a three-pointer from the front arc, feeling hot. In the middle of the game, Smith and Sika were blooming inside and outside. Towns' military training Turner + chased the Pacers with three-pointer, and the Pacers, who made 8 of 8 shots, took the lead in calling the timeout. After the timeout, Brunson and Halliburton competed, Turner's three-pointer + Bryant opened the 7-point difference, McBride and Hart suddenly made a three-pointer rain, and Mitchell Robinson dunked, Brunson jumped and made a layup, and the Knicks 36-34 in the first quarter. Mitchell Robinson limits opponents' shooting percentage in the league in the playoffs, and as soon as he comes on the court, the Pacers' efficiency declines.

In the early part of the second quarter, Matherine and McConnell led the Pacers to tie the score, Anunobi scored a three-pointer, Sika intercepted + counterattacked and stopped the Knicks, Payne's three-pointer stopped the bleeding in time, and then Payne continued to bomb from the outside, joining Bridges and Towns to a 13-1 climax! Brunson actually had 7 minutes of rest. Nesmith stopped bleeding with three-pointers, Halliburton started to play singles, Brunson made consecutive fouls, Halliburton responded with three-pointers. At the end of the quarter, Brunson made another shot with Sika, and the Knicks 69-62 Pacers in the first half. Entering the third quarter, Brunson connected Towns and Anunobi to defend a weak lead, Sika and Nemhard quickly stopped the Knicks, Halliburton continued to make fouls, and Brunson fouled four early!

Haliburton continued to throw three points, Sika made a jump shot, and the Knicks led by 3 points into the fourth quarter. When Matherine's landing helped the Pacers catch up to only 1 point away, the Knicks exploded: Brunson made a layup around the screen + Anunobi's top three-pointer + McBride made a three-pointer + Towns made another three-pointer, with the score difference of up to 17 points! But Nesmith and Halliburton rained three points, and the Pacers chased after only 5 points! In the last 30 seconds, Nesmith's three-pointer was still in! Towns and Anunobi continued to give a chance with free throws, Halliburton scored two points with a buzzer and tied 125 for overtime! When we arrived in overtime, Towns and Anunobi scored 4 points in a row, and Nemhard responded with a three-pointer and a layup to overtake! Halliburton and Brunson competed, and in the last 30 seconds, Nemhard overtook the cake! After that, Toppin folded and dunked, Brunson and Towns made consecutive irons. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 138-135, completing a 17-point comeback!

Knicks data, Brunson scored 43 points, 5 assists and 7 turnovers, Towns scored 35 points and 12 rebounds, Anunoby scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 steals, Hart scored 8 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and Bridges scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Coach Thibodeau did give McBride and Mitchell Robinson a lot of time! McBride was in the game with a plus-minus plus-21 highest in the game today. Mitchell Robinson scored 2 points and 8 rebounds (4 frontcourts) in 20 minutes. The mobility and impact of these two people made the Pacers a little tired of parrying. In fact, after the starter got enough rest time, Brunson and Bridges had significantly improved their output and efficiency, and Towns didn't have to fight for it all the time, which would create a virtuous cycle. However, at the last critical moment, they obviously wanted to win and were afraid of losing. Brunson was double-teamed and could no longer play.

Pacers data, Halliburton scored 31 points and 11 assists, Nesmith scored 30 points, Sika scored 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, Turner scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Nemhard scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. After Brunson left the court with five fouls, the team's defense was not focused, and Sika and Matherine had several obviously unreasonable attacks and were directly intercepted by the big hat. Nesmith and Halliburton made 6 three-pointers in the last moment to bring back the suspense. Nesmith was an unexpected surprise. After the young Pacers showed their momentum and confidence, the opponent could not stop him! The Eastern Conference Final is much better than the Western Conference Final. The referee does not steal the show. The players try their best to fight for the last second. Both teams deserve respect. The G2 showdown between the two teams will be held at 8 am on the 24th to see how the two teams should adjust.
