I will listen to Cole next time the draft!

Pacers VS Knicks G4

Harry is so strong.

G4's Harry handed over a flawless game. 32 points + 12 rebounds + 15 assists + 4 steals + 0 turnovers, no blind spots in contribution. All three-pointers were made in the first four times, establishing long-distance deterrence. After that, the pick-and-roll breakthroughs were made, the layups were light, the ball was freely made, and the fast break and positional battle rhythm were freely grasped. Give diagonals, long passes, and straight passes. You can control them no matter how difficult it is, and you will not make any mistakes at all. What is even more rare is the eye-catching defense, and the 4 steals show the accurate prediction of the ball-out route. This may be the exclusive game feeling of the passer master. The one-on-one defense against the Bridge is not lost, and it can withstand it at a low post. Compared with the bullying of people in the playoffs last year, it seems like a different player.

Harry not only brought the so-called "overrated" content to high-end games, but also improved the defense that was not originally planned from poor to basic qualified and has highlights, which can be said to have exceeded expectations. I remembered the article published by the King when he traded him, titled "The Trail Blazers just sent CJ away, and the King sent Halliburton away! 》. Although the deal brought the Kings All-Star Sar and indirectly activated Fox, they only played one round of the series, and the situation is now approaching a mess. It seems that love is really more expensive than leg essence.

And Cole, sitting in front of the TV, had already slapped his thigh. There are not many games in the Eastern Conference Final G4. The Knicks completed the reversal. The Pacers knew very well that once they lost G4, they would not only lose the lead, but also lose the home advantage they had, and play the key Tianwangshan and potential tiebreak away. The G4 is close to a decisive battle for the Knicks, and isn't it the case for the Pacers. Therefore, the Pacers in G4 are much more decisive than the previous ones, and the number of times they named Bronson in this game may exceed the total of the previous playoffs. The effect is also exaggerated, and I can't even recall the scene where Bronson strives to succeed in defending.

It's so miserable. The time when the Knicks seem to have the most promising victory should be the second quarter when Bronson rested off the court. Thibodeau was abnormal and gave up the slave owner's employment plan, and the Knicks played well. This echoes the G2G3 Bronson was trapped in a foul to rest, and the Knicks could bite or catch up with the score, which also proves the previous point of view - if you have a way to score against the Pacers, you'd better lose one defensive weakness. When Towns was in good shape, the Knicks could indeed score even without Bronson.

Bronson has a bad defense, but he is not that bad in his impression. There is a difference between G4 and G2G3. In addition to the Pacers G4's targeting Bronson's strength is far more than G2G3, Bronson himself also has a bit of giving up treatment, and the defensive end is about being bad. Perhaps, the impact of high-intensity game load in a season will be concentrated at this time. Although Bronson played only 37 minutes in G4, every minute he was present was as long as a century, and every round of defense was perfunctory.

The more famous scene is probably Harry taking Bronson and Towns into a pot. This kind of round is more and more frequent after Miro is not present. Harry will find Bronson first and then go to Towns. The scene we see is always Bronson doesn't want to defend, and Towns doesn't know who to defend.

Pacers finally discovered the secret - it is better to beat Towns' teammates than to beat Towns directly and put Towns in the most important position of defense off the ball. This is the manifestation of Towns' personal defensive ability classification:

In terms of single defense, Towns is not very good, but he can make do with the help of teammates. Last year's playoffs, Towns survived Durant and Jokic;

During the coordination of defense, Towns is really not very good, and in those occasions where choices need to be made quickly, Towns often can't bear to look at it. It should not be easy for the Knicks to get rid of this series. This round of the series can reveal a contradiction in the Knicks lineup configuration. Towns is not good at defense, and Bronson is not good at defense. As a center forward, Towns is not good at defense, which makes it very difficult to build a team. The Timberwolves have not been able to completely solve the "Downes Paradox" in the past few years. This is not easy for the Knicks. The Knicks' defensive configuration at the 2-4 position is strong enough, and substitute center Miro has brought it to play the double tower. The mode can be switched, covering most scenes, and the Knicks have tried their best. But the number one position cannot be prevented by a little, which weakens the effect of "doing the best". The two of them have a superposition of defense, which is quite scary.

In turn, Bronson may also be more suitable to play in a defensive environment. Bronson and Halliburton are close-class guards with different characteristics, but they both played well in the playoffs. In this round of the series, Bronson's data was good, and his score was key, and his role could not be denied, but he was obviously not as comfortable as Harry, and his contribution was lost to the opponent. Why is this?

Harry has super organizational ability to control a lineup with full offensive configuration, and its characteristics are full;

, and Bronson is known for his hard solution. He is actually more suitable for playing constipation in a team that can defend against opponents, and then he will make a final decision when neither side can score. Now both sides are divided into diarrhea, and Bronson's hard-earned fighting style seems thankless.

You won't feel that Bronson especially needs Towns to open up space on the offensive end. Whether or not Towns or not, Bronson will play the same. On the other hand, you won’t feel that Towns must play with Bronson. Bronson can digest all the ball rights himself, and Towns is lonely. On the defensive end, the two people have real logic conflicts. Towns cannot give Bronson the constipation game, and Bronson cannot participate in the defense and keep 1.

The core combination of the Knicks has proven that it can be played to the Eastern Conference Finals. To go further, touch the upper limit, you have to take a look.
