If the Knicks want to defeat the Pacers, Brunson needs to do more and better!

1. Avoid the occurrence of injuries. Thibodeau has always been a short rotation and likes to use the main force hard! This is a great test for the physical fitness and physical health of the Knicks core players. The first two rounds were quite smooth, but the second round was the opponent Celtics who suffered injuries, and Tatum was seriously injured and was reimbursed for the season! Jaylen Brown insisted on playing with injuries. But the strength of the Eastern Conference Final will still be very high and the confrontation will be very fierce. The Pacers are very good at running and bombing tactics, and there are many rounds, which is a big test for the Knicks' physical fitness. The Pacers will chase their opponents and fight! If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if you are. If the core player of the Eastern Conference Finals really suffers from injury, it will be a big blow to the Knicks, who have very few rotations. Brunson is the most important scoring point for the Knicks, and he must protect his health. As long as he can play, the team will have the backbone and the courage to fight to the end! If Brunson is injured, the Knicks will be in a very difficult situation.

2. Control the rhythm of the game! The Knicks want to win with steadily! And the Pacers must win with speed! Knicks don't fall into the opponent's offensive rhythm! As the core of the team's defender, Brunson controls the rhythm. He should be fast when it should be fast, and should take the initiative to slow down when it should be slow, and do not follow the opponent's rhythm. Brunson wants to control the rhythm and let the Pacers fall into the Knicks' rhythm instead of passively following the Pacers to run fast attacks.

3. Strengthen defense! The Pacers are famous for their offensive brigade. Their offensive firepower is very fierce. I have never been afraid of anyone compared to the offense! The Knicks' defense is key if they want to win. As the core of the Knicks team, Brunson must set an example, take the lead in the defensive end, and spare no effort to defend on the defensive end! The boss of the team can still rush to do dirty and tiring work on the defensive end, how can others not fight to the death?

Pacers want to continue to play the role of dark horses, Halliburton needs to do better in the following aspects!

1. Give full play to your strengths! The only way to speed in the world is to be able to break! Keep the fast pace to the end! The Knicks like the Pacers to grind the positions and lower the turn. Pacers should not be led by their opponents! We must give full play to our strengths and fight against our opponents’ weaknesses! There are many people playing basketball, long rotations, and abundant physical fitness. These are the advantages of Pacers! As the team engine, Halliburton must use his own strengths and overcome his weaknesses!

2. Drive teammates! Let the walkers bloom more! Halliburton averaged 9.3 assists per game in the playoffs, ranking first in the league! Halliburton must continue to maintain this kind of support ability. A team that blooms more points and is the more difficult team to deal with! A person's power is limited after all! In fact, the Pacers are a bit similar to the Pistons, the civilian team that won the championship that year, but the Pistons are particularly defensive in every position. The defense is not airtight and can make the opponent breathless. The Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe are all under their hands! Like them, the Pacers have always been underestimated. The Pistons have a very good defense, and there are many people who can defend; while the Pacers have a very large number of people who attack and are very good at attacking!

3. Got more points on the offensive end! Halliburton averaged 34.1 minutes per game in the playoffs this year, averaged 13.3 shots, hit 6.5 goals, and scored 17.5 points, ranking 30th in the playoffs average score list. As the boss of the team, if you want to lead the team to compete for the championship and lead the team to compete for the championship, your scoring ability needs to be stronger! The Knicks have a wealth of front defense resources in the Eastern Conference Finals. They will not easily give the Pacers a chance to score easily. When the rest of the team is restricted, Halliburton needs to stand up and score more!
