After easily eliminating the Pistons in the first round, the Knicks defeated the defending champion Celtics in the second round and returned to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years. Here, they faced the "old enemy" Pacers. In the previous four playoff encounters, the Knicks lost three times.

Brunson continues his "key" state so far in the series, he averaged 28.8 points and 7.7 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44% and three-point shooting percentage of 36.3%. Among them, scoring and assists ranked sixth and fifth in the league. The Knicks' undisputed "king" is the Knicks. Last season, the Knicks fought against the Pacers for seven games. Brunson averaged 29.7 points and 6.1 assists per game. If such data can still be continued this season, it is expected to complete "revenge" and is close to the finals.

There are statistics: the real hit rate in the Brunson series so far is 55.9%, while the real hit rate in the Halliburton series so far is 59.1%. The two also had a duel in "WWE" and talked about it for fans.

Mitchell Robinson is expected to become a "Shock"!

Mitchell Robinson has averaged 19 minutes per game, contributing 4.2 points, 6.8 rebounds (3.8 offensive rebounds, fourth in the league), and averaging 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game seem average. In fact, he has lost 101.3 points per 100 rounds in the series so far, ranking fifth in the league, and the top four are Thunder players.

Mitchell Robinson's defense has caused the defending champion Celtics' "Big5" to suffer. Will the Pacers' inside players Turner, Siakam, and Bryant be more affordable than Porzingis and Horford?

In addition, compared with last season, the Knicks have also introduced Bridges. The Knicks have improved in the forward position and rebounding competition, which is precisely the key factor in last season's victory or defeat.

Anunoby + Bridges will bring "gloves" to Halliburton! So far in the

series, Halliburton averaged 17.5 points and 9.3 assists per game. The Pacers became the "dark horse" this season, to a large extent achieved by Halliburton. Anunobi and Bridges almost frozen Cunningham in the first round, and in the second round, it was Halliburton's turn this time. . .

Halliburton and Cunningham, Tatum/Brown are completely different players. Although the three-point shooting percentage has been only 33.8% so far in the series, in the last game with the Cavaliers, he scored 31 points from 6 of 10 from the three-point line, completely defeating the Cavaliers' outside defense.
