With the Pacers in the East taking New York, the Indiana can stand out from the East this season, which can be said to have created a miracle that is not big or small. Next, let’s briefly review this game:

The first quarter game was not careless and made sufficient preparations. The two sides took the lead several times in a stalemate. The biggest difference in the first quarter was 5 points shortly after the start of the game, but it was quickly erased. In the second quarter, the situation was still a tug of war. Although the Pacers remained ahead for most of the time, they had little advantage. The data of both sides were not much different in the entire first half. The shooting percentage was more than 50%. However, the Pacers performed better on 8 of 15 shots on three-point shooting and helped them take the lead and scored a 4-point advantage to enter the second half.

Returned from a short halftime break, the Pacers continued their hot three-pointers. They made 5 three-pointers in half a quarter and scored 20-9 offensive. In this quarter, the Pacers made 7 three-pointers and scored 20-9 more than the Knicks in the three quarters. In the last quarter, the Knicks briefly chased to 9 points but were unable to go further. The Pacers changed their strategy and began to rush to the basket and open the score again. Then Nemhard's three-pointer expanded the advantage to 19 points to kill the suspense of the game. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 125:108 at home and reached the finals with a total score of 4-2 after 25 years. The finals opponent of the Eastern Conference champion Pacers will be the No. 1 Thunder in the West. Judging from the overall strength of the two teams, the young Thunder is still more favored by the outside world. They have MVP Alexander, Jaylenway and Homgren's new third young men in the league. Whether the Pacers can withstand the Thunder's powerful offensive firepower may be the top priority of the entire series in the finals.

But for the Pacers, I still have to be the main focus of reaching the finals after many years. Only by playing your own tactics and style can you have the opportunity to compete with Thunder and compete. Among them, three of them must play a role.

First: Halliburton. As the team's backcourt core, the Pacers' magician's performance is directly related to how much the team can go. In this game, he scored 21 points and 13 assists, and he carried the team on his shoulders in both scoring and tandem. But Harry's biggest problem is that it is not very stable. At that time, facing the guarding of defensive players such as Jaylenway and Caruso, can Halliburton continue to perform stably? Let's see if Harry can continue to be magical.

Siakam. As the only player in the team with championship experience, he scored 31 points and 5 rebounds in this game, which well supported the team's forward offense and defense. It was the arrival of Siakam that caused the overall style of the team to undergo a huge change. Sika brought more strong defense and stable scores to the Pacers. Therefore, it is natural for Siakam to become the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals. If Siakam can continue to perform like this, it may bring surprises to the fans.

Third: Head coach Carlisle. Carlisle is a champion coach. It is his careful training that has allowed this Pacer to be reborn this year. The Pacers have played the strongest running and bombing tactics in the league, and the thickness of their overall rotation lineup is obvious to all. On the bench, Toppin, McConnell, and Bryant are all very good bench gangsters. In addition, their defense is also very strong, and Carlisle has once again built the Pacers into another form of Mavericks. They are strong integrity, distinctive in character, and united. More importantly, Carlisle has experience in the finals and hopes to play his role in on-the-spot scheduling in the game against the Thunder.

Finally, let us look forward to the two teams presenting wonderful games to fans in the finals!
