The Knicks were eliminated and reported to be infighting! Teammates turned against him and were dissatisfied with his defense. Famous reporter: It should be sent away this summer

On June 1, many fans of the Eastern Conference Finals probably knew the result. The Pacers defeated the Knicks 125-108. In this game, the Knicks lost again due to the thickness of the lineup. Their four substitutes scored a total of 20 points, while the Pacers scored a total of 38 points. The Knicks still wins points in the starting lineup, but the substitute is also part of the team. Basketball has never been a one-person sport, he has always been a team sport.

The Knicks performed badly in this game. Brunson made 8 of 18 shots in the game, scored 2 of 7 three-pointers, scored 19 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, Towns made 8 of 19 shots in the game, scored 0 of 4 three-pointers, scored 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. If Anunobi and Bridges hadn't performed well enough, the Knicks would have collapsed in this game, and they could not even delay in the fourth quarter. Anunobi scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, and Bridges scored 15 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in the game.

With better strength on paper, the Knicks lost the series. After the game, Thibodeau talked about the reason for the team's loss in an interview. He said, "I think it's because of the failure to do a good job in defense and control mistakes." After the team loses, the Knicks will most likely have a lineup change in the offseason. After all, their substitute firepower is too poor. The team may try to introduce suitable rotation players or choose to give up Thibodeau. After all, he was defeated by Carlisle in this round of series.

, while famous reporter Kevin O'Connor gave a different answer, saying that the first thing the Knicks had to do this summer was to send Towns away. The Knicks also talked about Towns, who said that the team had expressed dissatisfaction with Towns, and the team's overall cohesion often cannot match the personal talent shown on the court. Knicks players all seasoned in public, saying that poor communication was the reason for the team's ups and downs, while in private, the players and coaching staff expressed continued dissatisfaction with Towns' defensive habits.

He also said: Towns has changed his cover strategy or rotation method privately in defense too many times, but has no explanation for the reason. When this situation became the norm, his teammates did not start to worry whether he really regarded this matter as important. I guess everyone has also seen Towns' defensive habits. In the G1 series against the Pacers, the Pacers completed a 14-point reversal in the last quarter. In a key round in the game, Anunobi was originally defending Sika, but Towns went to defend Sika, and Nesmith was missed.

Before this round, Nesmith had already scored 5 three-pointers in a row. If nothing unexpected happened, Nesmith, who was missed, helped the Pacers narrow the score and finally scored in overtime to complete the reversal. For this reason, Anunobi couldn't bear it anymore and said a few words to Towns. At first, Brunson still comforted Anunobi, but after a while he couldn't stand it, so he shouted at Towns, but the effect didn't seem to be ideal. Towns still did his own way.

Downs averaged 21.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the entire playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 48.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.1%. Towns averaged 5 points per game in the league in the second offense. It can be said that if it weren't for Towns, the Knicks would never have been able to reach their current height. If it weren't for Towns, they would not have crossed the Celtics. In addition, they would not have been able to have reversed the Pacers at one point when they were more than 20 points behind. Towns had 20+8 in the last quarter of that game.

Downs' advantages and disadvantages are too obvious. His advantage is that his talent on the offensive end is too good, and his athletic ability is rare in the same position. In terms of offensive ability alone, after the Emperor was injured, Towns was the most dominant center in the East, but his shortcomings are also very obvious. Towns' ball quotient is very low, and many times there will be some low-level fouls that make people speechless, and his concentration on the defensive end is very poor.

But to be honest, there is no need to let Towns take the blame for the Knicks' defeat this season. This is the case in a big football market like the Knicks. As long as there is a problem, someone will need to take the blame. Towns does not belong to their small team and will inevitably be excluded first. Everyone knows that the team's team building is based on Villanova's lineup, and the three people with the most say in the team are Brunson, Hart and Bridges.

Brunson, as the boss of the team, is reasonable, but Bridges's ball rights do not think that he is not even considered the third leader of the team, as a blue-collar worker. Does he have too much ball rights? And now he doesn't do 3D jobs, and he likes to throw mid-range distances, and his efficiency is still average. Bridges averages 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, and he averages 14.4 shots in the playoffs, while Towns only has 16.9 times.

After all, it is not his own team, just like the result of Durant joining the Warriors back then, but the only difference is that if he succeeds, the honor will most likely not be Towns, because Brunson is not Curry, and he will not give so much ball rights. If he can leave, Towns is probably willing, right? Having said that, what do you want to say about these two teams? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
