The NBA playoffs continue with the 76ers and Knicks putting on a great showdown today. The Knicks, who were playing at home, held the match point 3-1, and the game was also very good, and in the last 28 seconds, they still held a 6-point lead, which can be said to be the victory. However, after that, Maxi went on a rampage, first scoring 3+1 with high difficulty, and then hitting a three-point shot by the logo, forcibly dragging the game into overtime. In the end, the 76ers successfully reversed 112-106, but Brunson was still honored, he created the first miracle in the NBA's 76 years, and the 100 million contract is a thing of the past.
Embiid, as the MVP, played a disastrous game at the level of disaster, shooting only 7 of 19 from the field, getting a triple-double of 19 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists, but also had 9 turnovers. The veteran Lowry also had no feelings, and the score was 0 in the game. Harris played steadily, contributing 19 points and 8 rebounds, and was efficient on both ends of the floor. Oubre had 14 points and four rebounds, while Batum and Payne combined for 14 points. The hero of the reversal of this game is undoubtedly Maxey, who shot 17 of 30 from the field and scored 46 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. The unresolved three-point and 3+1 in the last quarter helped the team change its fate.
For the Knicks, they would have had a good chance of finishing the series. DiVincenzo contributed 9 points and 4 rebounds in this game, and Hart played the whole game, handing over 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Anunoby made a contribution on the defensive end, finishing with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Center Harden also scored 6 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and McBride off the bench became a surprise player, scoring 14 points efficiently.
The best player in the team is still the boss Brunson. Brunson played 51 minutes in this game, shooting 15 of 32 from the field, 4 of 11 from three-point range, and scored 40 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. He and Maxey had a great matchup, but Brunson missed the chance to kill the match with a late miss.
Throughout the series, Brunson's play can be described as flawless. 40 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, and previously handed over 47 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game, 39 points, 2 rebounds and 13 assists in a single game, 24 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game, and 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a single game.
In the past three games, Brunson has averaged 41 points and 9 assists per game, and he has become the first player in NBA history to average 41 points and 9 assists in three consecutive games in the playoffs. You must know that there are many stars who are very strong in scoring and organization, such as James, Doncic, Jokic, and Harden, and the former Kobe, Jordan, and Bird are also sharp, but they have not achieved this record.
Now Brunson has completely proved himself, the team is full of injuries, Brunson led the team into the playoffs, not to mention, the playoffs are still outstanding. He once signed a four-year, $104 million cabbage contract, and after this contract expires, the $100 million contract will also become a thing of the past, and Brunson will be able to get at least $200 million in super cap salary.
