Towns: Bridges is worthless to the team, and it is the best time for the Knicks to perform

May 21st News The Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin! Earlier, Knicks star Carl Towns shared his views on the team, teammates and opponents.

Downs did not hide his appreciation for his teammate Mikal Bridges. He said that the Knicks' locker room has long recognized the importance of Bridges. "Our locker room has long known who Mikal Bridges is and how important he is to our team."

At the same time, Towns said bluntly that those fans who have just begun to pay attention to Bridges are a bit "late" because the Knicks' players have long been his loyal fans.

Speaking of his first season in New York, Towns was filled with emotion. He said: "It is extremely difficult to succeed in New York. We can get to this point, which means we have faced the challenge. There is more work to do now, but sometimes it is a good thing to stop for a moment, look back at your starting point, appreciate your achievements now, and understand how far you have to go."

When talking about the overall performance of the team, Towns specifically mentioned the last game against the Boston Celtics series. He said the team finally showed an overall look of playing for 48 minutes. "We are finally like a team that can play for 48 minutes. We have to find a way to do this in every game." He stressed that it is the time for the Knicks to show their best form, especially in the fierce competition in the playoffs.

Regarding the history of the confrontation between the Knicks and the Pacers, Towns bluntly stated: "There is indeed a feeling of hatred between each other, which has created a wonderful confrontation." This "hatred" not only originates from the competitive history of the two teams, but also adds a gunpowder to the current series.

When asked if he had considered facing his old club Minnesota Timberwolves in a possible NBA Finals, Towns showed great concentration: "You start thinking too far and you will never be able to handle the present. I just think about the present, this series now."

As the playoffs deepened, the Knicks were showing strong competitiveness under the leadership of Towns and Bridges. Whether it is a fierce confrontation against the Pacers or a potential finals showdown, the team is proving with practical actions that they are ready for bigger challenges. As Towns said, “Now is the time for us to perform at the best of our performance”, the Knicks’ journey continues, and New York’s basketball dream has never been so close.
