The New York Knicks lost two home games in a row, which was really convinced. Brunson also looked at the ball and sighed. He actually lost to the Indiana Pacers again at home, with a big score of 2-0. The Knicks played with the Pacers throughout the game. In the end, I was hit by the Pacers' trick. I can't be fast. I must drag the Pacers into the familiar environment of the Knicks. This is the correct trajectory.

The Knicks' resilience and strength this season are obvious to everyone. In the most difficult times, first of all, the Knicks cannot admit defeat. If they lose their spirits, they will not be able to help them up. Once again, they will fall behind 0-2 at home in the playoffs. There have been 82 games in history that they lost two consecutive home games in the playoffs, including six of which were finally reversed and advanced. In the history of the Eastern Conference Finals, there have never been a series of reversal and advanced under such difficult circumstances. Can the Knicks break the record this time?

Recalling the past, I still remember the Rockets' 2004-2005 season. The Rockets achieved 55 wins and 27 losses in the regular season, ranking fifth in the West, while the Mavericks (now Du Mavericks) ranked fourth in the West with 57 wins and 25 losses. In the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets won two away games with the strong performance of Yao Ming and McGrady, and once had the initiative to advance for efficiency.

Next, the Mavericks (now the Mavericks) urgently adjusted their tactics, and by speeding up and increasing the use of substitutes (such as Starkhouse and Harris), weakening Yao Ming's influence in the inside, while also consuming McGrady's physical strength. The Mavericks also returned to the Rockets at home, winning two games in a row and tied 2-2.

The Rockets eventually lost 4-3 to the Mavericks due to excessive reliance on the Yao-Macau combination, lack of a stable third-point scoring point, and coach Van Gundy's tactical rigidity. I remember that I was in junior high school at that time, and the Rockets were able to be turned over under such circumstances. I saw it incredible at the time. I also understood what it felt like to fly the duck when I was in my mouth. It also made me understand the charm of competitive sports. First of all, I cannot be discouraged. As long as I have the opportunity, I must do my best to strive for it and must not give up.

Now the New York Knicks have also come to the situation facing the Mavericks at that time. It depends on whether the Knicks work together and work together to have a spirit of not giving in. Originally, the Pacers and the Knicks had little difference in abilities, but the Knicks failed to drag the rhythm into the familiar environment. This was purely digging a hole for themselves and creating difficulties for themselves. Thinking about coming from behind, American heroism appeared again, and we didn’t look at the situation.

The next tests the overall ability of Thibodeau and the team. Whether you can understand the layout of Pacers coach Carlisle, the Pacers' mentality at this time is probably already floating, and this is the best opportunity for the Knicks to fight back. Taking advantage of the moment when the walker is timid, he seizes the opportunity to overtake. After grasping this spirit, even if the walker has great skills, he will not be able to adjust.

Finally, I hope the Knicks will adjust their mentality and countermeasures quickly, actively respond to Pacers' tactics, use the defense that they are good at, drag the Pacers into a familiar environment, and use their own way to cure them. Creating miracles is not impossible!
