The Knicks really played big this time, and staged a "big reversal drama" directly on the territory of the Philadelphia 76ers, and it would be an absolute pity if this game was not exciting. Especially Brunson, this young man simply didn't shine too much today, slashing 47 points, doesn't this statistic sound a bit dazzling?
First of all, let's talk about the background of this competition. Our Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers are old rivals, and this time they met in the playoffs, and it was even more explosive. In particular, the Knicks have already taken a 3-1 lead in the first three games, and this game is simply a backwater battle for the 76ers.
At the beginning of the game, the Knicks seemed to be a little slow to heat up, and they were led by the opponent by a few points in the first quarter. But, you read that right, it's adversity like this that makes Brunson's heroic moment. In the second quarter of the game, the young man seemed to be hanging up, and he sent the ball to the basket vigorously, as if it was no man's land. Not only did he score himself, but he also assisted his teammates, and he single-handedly set the mood for the whole team.
By the second half of the game, the Knicks were completely in control. Brunson's hand is simply too hot, do you think he treats basketball as a hot roasted sweet potato, and stuffs it into the basket one by one? In the end, Brunson scored 47 points, 10 assists and 4 rebounds.
And when it comes to the 76ers, they really didn't fight in this game, especially Maxey and Embiid, who also tried their best. But Embiid's form today was clearly affected by health issues, and although he scored 27 points and 10 rebounds, he always seemed to be unable to do it in crunch time. You say, isn't this a bit of a "hero's end" feeling?
Throughout the game, the Knicks' counterattack strategy can be said to be quite successful. Especially under the leadership of Brunson, the morale of the whole team was high, and in the end, with a beautiful comeback, the 76ers could only swallow the bitter fruit at home.
The current Knicks can be said to be overwhelmed, and in the next game, if the 76ers still want to make a difference, they have to think carefully about how to adjust their tactics and state. And the Knicks, as long as they need to maintain this momentum, the road to the playoffs will not be wide?
In short, this game brought us not only the joy of victory, but also the excitement and emotion of not giving up in the face of adversity and finally reversing the victory. Brunson's performance was undoubtedly the focus and highlight of the court, and his performance proved that nothing is impossible on the basketball court, as long as you dare to fight.
