On May 18, Beijing time, the Pacers 116-103 Knicks, the Pacers won the crucial sixth game, dragging the series into a tie-break. The two sides fought to a 3-3 draw, and G7 will start at 03:30 on May 20. Whoever has the last laugh will be able to see the results when they go to work on Monday. There are brothers who like to stay up late to watch the game, and you can lock the game in the middle of the night!
It's not terrible for the Knicks to lose in the G6 game, but the terrible thing is that the Knicks' Hart, who was nicknamed "Iron Donkey" by the fans, was accidentally injured and retired early in G6. The extent of the injuries is yet to be further examined and evaluated. If Hart can't play in the 7-game game, then the Knicks will be dead.
Hart averaged 43.6 minutes per game in this year's playoffs, averaging 15.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1 steal per game. Hart also played the full game in four games in this year's playoffs, without a minute of rest, and became Thibodeau's iron man.
However, now Thibodeau is unavailable, and the Knicks are full of wounded soldiers.
1. Randle: Season reimbursement
2. Bogdanovic: Season reimbursement
3. Mitchell Robinson: Season reimbursement
4. Anunoby: Thigh strain, most likely reimbursed
5. Brunson: Playing with an injury
6. Hart: Abdominal injury
In the playoffs this season, Thibodeau has been using the tactics of the Death Seven Samurai, with a seven-man rotation almost every game, and as the schedule progressed, Bogdanovic, Anunoby, Hart and others all fell. Thibodeau was forced to use a number of bench players, including Achiuwa, Burks and others. G7 Thibodeau is estimated to have a lineup of Brunson, McBride, DiVincenzo, Hatten, and Burks, with 4 guards and 1 center. Whether or not there is a surprise player in G7 is the key to victory, and Brunson alone will not be able to do it alone.
Who do you think can win the G7 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!
