The surprises reappeared! Siakam led the team to overthrow the Knicks, and he actually said this after the game!

First of all, congratulations to the Pacers for defeating the Knicks 114-109, winning two consecutive victories at Madison Square Garden, and ending the game with his own expertise. It can be said that it is "killing people to kill their hearts." (The Knicks reversed the Celtics in the semi-finals, but now they are reversed by the Pacers)

It is estimated that Thibodeau will be rotated by 11 people who are all Pacers! How can I sleep?

A netizen left a message below my article, which roughly means: The Knicks are a little stronger, and Nesmith's performance is not common.

But my answer is: What if there are surprises in every game?

Not to mention that Cao Cao arrived, the Pacer's surprise arrived without any surprise - that is Siakam.

Siakam played 32 minutes in this game, made 15 of 23 shots, scored 39+5+3 in a luxurious data, setting a new high in his playoff career!

Siakam showed a very high offensive desire at the beginning of the game. He made 6 of 9 shots in a single quarter, 1 of 2 of 3-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws to score 16 points, leading the team forward with the load.

, especially Brunson scored 10 points in a single quarter in the last quarter. When he was about to reverse the game, Siakam (7 points in a single quarter) and Nat (13 points in a single quarter) struggled to maintain his advantage, especially in the last quarter of the game, he was catching up to 1 point. With Nesmith making both free throws, the Pacers were ahead of three points at this time. Brunson almost equalized the score in the last quarter. Fortunately, he flew out, otherwise it would be another situation in overtime. Brunson's key ball ability is still very strong!

After the game, Siakam said in an interview: "I just remain aggressive. We are a team, and neither of us cares about who scores, and everyone just wants to win."

"I got into the state early and my teammates found me well. We have different people standing up every night, which is why we are so special."

Indeed, facing Carlisle's 11-man rotation, there will always be someone who happens to stand up. G1 is Nesmith, G2 is Siakam, so who will G3 be? Could it be Nath? Today's final quarter was quite fierce!

And I also want to know if Bridges offended Thibodeau? G2 played for 46 minutes, and G1 also had 46 minutes. There was one match between the Celtics in the second round before. I remember there was an overtime playing time of up to 50 minutes. Did I really use Bridges as a "donkey"?
