Today, the Pacers clocked in the third quarter of the G4 game against the Knicks, and finally won the Knicks 121-89, with a series score of 2-2, and returned to the same running line.
The Knicks didn't have a trace of energy in this game, trailing by 20 points in the first quarter, 28 points in the second quarter, and 38 points in the third quarter!
The negative effect of Thibodeau's overuse of personnel has affected the team's combat effectiveness!
The three musketeers of Villanueva, the iron-clad soldiers can't bear it!
Brunson, who scored just one point in the first quarter, was 6-of-17 from the field and 0-of-5 from three-point range, scoring only 17 points, the worst game in the playoffs this season.
DiVincenzo, after setting a new playoff scoring high in four consecutive games, was completely inaccurate in his shooting in this game, shooting 3-of-13 and scoring only 7 points.
Hart, the Irons were finally forced to rest in 48 minutes, playing 23 minutes, 1-of-6, with 2 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers.
To sum up, the donkey of the production team picked the child, not lazy but tired!
Now, after a 2-0 loss, the Pacers have returned to their home court to play their familiar fast-paced style, singing all the way and winning two games in a row.
They know that their opponents are exhausted, and they just need to maintain a fast-paced style of play and let their opponents' stamina deplete quickly, and this round of the series will be won!
This season's Knicks are very strong on paper! Even without Randle, this team can make it to the Eastern Conference finals and wrestle with the Celtics.
Unfortunately, the team was ruined by injuries, Mitchell, Anunoby and Bojan have all missed the game, and the initiator of this is head coach Thibodeau.
The players are easy to use, it is a force to die, an average of more than 40 minutes per game is commonplace, and Hart even played N games with 48 minutes of full attendance......
This kind of employment strategy, it's no wonder that people don't get hurt!
If the Knicks are really eliminated by the Pacers, Thibodeau will be the biggest culprit.
The Knicks boss hurriedly fired Thibodeau, otherwise he would not be able to attract big-name stars to join, after all, no one dared to come to the company with 007 work rhythm.
