Pacers Throat Knicks: Miller Moment, Magical Reappearance!

8:08am, 23 May 2025【Basketball】

Pacers 1 to 0 Knicks.

Pacers incredibly:

6 (and a half) three-pointers in three minutes, tied, came from behind, crossed the Knicks, and reproduced the classic Miller moment in team history.

Reggie Miller played against the Knicks that year, two classics: the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994, the 5 three-pointers recorded in the NBA in the fourth quarter - today's junior Nesmith, and the 6 three-pointers recorded in the NBA in the fourth quarter.

1995 Miller vs. Knicks, 8 seconds and 8 minutes - today's junior Nesmith, three three-pointers in 28 seconds.

Halliburton finally shot a long shot from the buzzer-beating line, 125-125-at that time, he probably thought he had won the three-pointer and made the classic Miller locked up.

overtime, won.

Old New York fans probably have PTSD attacks and have a stroke directly?

It's a pity that Towns's career battle.

My biggest feeling in the first 44 minutes was:

- Knicks and the Pacers, probably looking at each other's McConne and Miro, are they a little jealous?

-If the Knicks had a defender like McConne who dribbled continuously and was free to travel, he wouldn't have to play Payne and Mike Brad: at the end of the third quarter, McConne made a buzzer-beating layup and chased to 87-90.

-If the Pacers had a Miro who was in exchange for counter-attacks, Turner and Toppin wouldn't be so tired.

Pacers overflowed the outside, but the inside was supported by Tenatopincia Kam.

The Knicks gave the Pacers a layup repeatedly in the interior, and Matherin's presence fell sharply, but after Brunson's four bounces, he had to rely on Payne, Bridge and Hart to take turns to hold the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Towns rose up and was about to end the game alone: ​​

Siakam broke through in the middle and was slapped by Mike Brad. Towns had to get three free throws, then turned around and shot hooked, and opened 14 points.

After that, Siakam played one-on-one again, and Towns sent the first shot in the game, blocking Siakam's slippery run; Hart rebounded in the backcourt and made a counterattack layup, and Towns roared. After the timeout, Siakam sprinted at full speed, knocked off Towns, and made a free throw before Miro made a comeback. Towns immediately slapped his eyebrows, and Thibodeau held his hand and stretched his head, looking "What's going on?!"

Towns returned a long-range shot after chasing, but he didn't touch it.

The next round, the Knicks used Anuno to be on the back. Towns received the ball on the weak side and made a long shot. He looked down at his hand and said with relief: "Ha!" After

, Towns and Nemhard and others got together and tried their best to save the ball. After Nemhard's 5 fouls, Towns clenched his fist, "Hey!"

These rounds are the most typical Towns.

- He has a very hard defense, and his single defense is quite good: for example, Gassiakam today and Jokic last year; but his bounce speed and sense of cover limit his basket protection, so he had to have Gobert by his side last year and Miro this year.

- His shooting skills and splashing (the Timberwolves' old buddy Naz Reed's shooting rate is similar to his) guarantees that he is a fixed threat, but every time he goes to the opponent to get a fight, he has to make up his mind.

——He has always been a good child and will be infected by the offensive and defensive situation: he will be happy if he does it well, and he will be lost if he doesn’t do it well.

The Pacers then replicate the Miller moment.

During the mid-season game last year, coach Carlisle introduced that he hoped the team would pass half in 2 seconds - more extreme than the 7-second Suns in the Nash era.

"If we don't know what we are going to do, our opponents won't know."

- After Bridge made a shot, Halliburton started to shoot Nesmith for a long shot, which was completed in 10 seconds.

—Nesmith scored three-pointers, 10 seconds.

- Halliburton chased and shot for a long time, 12 seconds.

- Tott drew a backcourt rebound, Shepard scored a long shot to Nesmith, 12 seconds.

Downs followed Halliburton with big defense, and Hart defeated Siakam with small defense. However, the Pacers' series of ten-second blitzkriegs made the Knicks in chaos and lost their positions continuously.

After Brunson made a layup, Nesmith counterattacked and shot from a long shot in 8 seconds.

After Towns made a layup, Nesmith counterattacked and shot from a long shot in 8 seconds.

The last half minute of the game, I have to fight for defense. Towns was replaced and watched on the sidelines.

However: Naismith cut out, got rid of Hart in one step, and then shot a long shot. Three long shots in 28 seconds.

Downs returned and made a free throw, followed by Halliburton's magical long-range shot from "Miller's throat".

Downs scored a mid-range shot first in overtime, and then a quarterback in the middle circle threw the ball and fed Anunobi at the basket.

Brunson was intercepted by Toppin. Seeing that the Knicks were about to be counterattacked, Towns protected the rim and blocked Nesmith.

At that time, Towns had time to save his career night.

But in the last minute, Towns was replaced by Miro, and watched Tols make up the dunk. Halliburton found Nemhadne with a low hand: Thibodeau replaced Towns, probably trying to make up for the inside, but the Knicks lost points in the inside: For example, Tolsing folded the dunk in the end. Towns only had time to play at the last moment. After Brunson shot three times, he made up for a long shot and missed.

Today was Towns' career-high 35 points and Brunson scored 43 points. This could have been the battle of their respective lives.

But the last moment of the Pacers. Nesmith's unconventional long shot tide. Halliburton once again ended the game with a big heart - sending away the Bucks, killing the Knights, and coming again today - replicating the Miller moment.

In the first 44 minutes of a stern fight, Thibodeau's strategy still prevailed.

But in the last 4 minutes and 5 minutes of overtime, the Pacers were like lightning, and the irrational crazy round.

discussed before:

When the last midseason reached the end of last season, Coach Carlisle said that the Pacers' offensive feature is "We don't know what the next round will be, and the opponent doesn't know it.". Speed, casual, "energized".

Coach Carlisle said Halliburton could get his teammates "energized". Halliburton is an oil pipeline, an electric wire, and a high-speed network cable, making the game incredible.

Nestmith's last 4 minutes and 20 minutes today, the three-point rain was behind the Pacers' chasing speed of 8 to 12 seconds.

In the last 9 minutes of the game, Halliburton scored 8 points and 4 assists: His tie was extremely fatal. If this ball did not cross the line, it would be that the Pacers scored seven three-pointers and a winning shot in the last three minutes - but the rhythm of his push gave the Pacers speed, power on, and then an incredible miracle happened.

In this way, the Pacers' teenagers overthrew the New York Knicks.

Replica Miller moment.

The Madison Gardens conquered again and again in Reggie Miller.

and Reggie Miller is on the sidelines.
