10:22am, 31 May 2025【Basketball】

The Knicks opportunity has come, and the Pacers are worried. Will they deliberately let the water go or not match? In the fifth game of the

Eastern Conference Finals Series, in this game, the Knicks played at home and showed his winning attitude from the beginning. From the beginning to the end of the game, the Knicks relied on high-intensity offense and defense throughout the game and finally won the game. The Knicks won this game, which also added a little weight to the suspense of this round of the series. The opportunity for the

Knicks is really coming.

In fact, since the entire series, the Pacers and the Knicks still play back and forth. Most of the time, the Knicks can still play against the Pacers, but the Knicks' lineup rotation does give the Pacers many opportunities, and two of them were reversed by the Pacers, especially the first game. In the two games won by the Knicks in the series, they did not allow the Pacers to score a hundred points, defending Halliburton. Judging from these two games, the Knicks can still limit the Pacers' offense. The key is to rely on their own defensive attitude and execution.

lost the fifth game, and the Pacers also ushered in concern. For this round of series, the sooner the Pacers ended, the better, because the injury of the team Nesmith has a great impact on the game. In this game, Nesmith played for only 15 minutes and made 1 of 8 shots. The Pacers were able to lead the Knicks with a big score, and Smith's performance in this round of the series became the key. His injury had a little too much impact on the Pacers' offense and defense. After the game, many fans believed that the Pacers lost because they deliberately let the game go back to Indiana, but from the game, the Pacers actually couldn't match the intensity of the Knicks. The two games won by the Knicks in this round of series actually rely on high-intensity defense to suppress the Pacers' offense. After all, the Pacers are still a team that relies on offense. As long as the offense is not open, it will be difficult for them to win.

Tibodeau started playing in this game with ten players rotation, with a clear purpose, which is to maintain defensive aggressiveness. And if Pacers' Nesmith is injured, if she cannot recover, there will be great changes in this round of the series.
