The life-and-death battle in the Eastern Conference Final G3: Can the Pacers end the suspense? Can the Knicks fight against the will of heaven and change their fate?

Hot topic overview: Leading 2-0 VS against desperate counterattack, conflicts are about to break out at 8 am on May 26, the NBA Eastern Conference Finals will usher in a key third game! The Pacers returned to home with an absolute advantage of 2-0, while the Knicks were on the edge of the cliff - no team in history could turn the tables when they were 0-3 behind. The outcome of this game almost directly determines the end of the series.

Pacers: Offensive Frenzy + Wheel Battle crushes the Pacers this season, with an average of 119.1 points, 50.3% shooting percentage and 40.8% three-point shooting percentage all leading the playoffs. What's even more terrifying is the tactic of 11 players in the team to rotate to "run to death" the opponent. In G2, Siakam scored 39 points, Halliburton accurately connected, and substituted 34.1 points (second in the playoffs), and the "wolf-pack tactic" of 6 players scoring in double digits made the Knicks exhausted.

Knicks: Iron-blooded Five Donkeys + Physical Crisis

In contrast, although Brunson averaged 36 points per game, the "Five Donkeys" averaged more than 35 minutes per game, and the substitute scored only 13.9 points (second to last). In the last moment of G2, Brunson was so tired that he bent down and gasped and Hart's eyes were distracted. What's even more fatal is that their defensive efficiency has fallen to the bottom of the playoffs, and their rebounding and blocking data are all behind.

Attitude/Viewpoint: The Pacers hold the match point, but the Knicks still have a "glider chance"

Pacers' three major chances of winning

Physical advantage kills people and kills people: Coach Carlisle's "eleven-man wheel battle" Nuke Thibodeau's "dead-fighting main force". When the Brunsons were so tired that they couldn't lift their legs, the Pacers' substitutes were still speeding up wildly. This war of attrition of "boiling frogs in warm water" was enough to drag down any will.

Home buff blessing: This season, the Pacers won 34 wins and 14 losses at home, and the cheers of fans from tsunamis may become the last straw that crushes the Knicks' psychological defense.

Historical metaphysics suggests: Although the Pacers lost all G3 in the first two rounds, they have a 2-0 advantage this time and the lineup is complete (Jackson only reimbursed for the season). In contrast, the Knicks had a 0-2 win over the game with a probability of a turnaround of only 6.7%.

Knicks' key to turn the tables

Betting on life: Rumors Thibodeau may use Miro to increase rebounds, but the more important thing is to activate the substitute - even if you score 5 more points, you can give the main force a breath.

Three-point redemption: The Knicks averaged only 11.4 three-pointers per game in the playoffs. If Bridges, Hart and others can regain their feel, they may be able to tear the Pacers' joint defense.

Salute to the Timberwolves: The Timberwolves won 42 points in the Western Conference Final G3, and the Knicks needed such a "miracle night". After all, basketball is round, and explosions in desperate situations often surpass rationality.

Ending: Regardless of the victory or defeat, this is a battle of dignity

This game has long surpassed the technical and tactical level - the Pacers have to prove that they are the king of the new era, while the Knicks have to fight for dignity. Is it the Pacers who got the match point in one go, or is the Knicks Jedi counterattack to prosper? The answer is about to be revealed!
