For both teams, it was a rewarding first game. The New York Knicks won the victory for them, even if it was a hard fight, it was a win for the Indiana Pacers, the performance of the substitute group allowed them to win still when the two main offensive ax. very suitable.

1. Beginning with Myles Turner

Whether or not Myles Turner’s offensive illegal screen was called will be debatable, but players may also need to better understand that they are directly involved in the field where everyone can see fields , whether whistled or not, is amplified and scrutinized.

In the current Pacers lineup, I think Rick Carlisle’s situation and Turner’s practice is very comfortable for Turner personally.

2. Raise and lower backup point guards

In the four games that the Knicks won in the first round, there were shooting and scoring performances from Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride, respectively, without Julius Randle, the Knicks will need a combined output of more than 20 points from these two (Note : The combined performance of both players in the fifth game was similar to the fourth game, but there was overtime in the fifth game):

** First game: 10/22｜29 points

**Second game: 9/21｜28 points

** Game 4: 7/18｜21 points

** Game 6: 9/22｜26 points

At this point, TJ McConnell, who is experienced, smart, strong and able to change the rhythm of the Pacers, seems to have influenced much of McBride’s performance in the first game, especially on the offensive end compared to ball handling backup Cameron Payne in the first round, his role is more For a simple ambush outside, McBride may have to pay a lot of tuition; then when DiVincenzo is not in good shape, what kind of response will McBride bring in in the second round?

3. Good and bad news for both teams

The good news for the Pacers is that even if Tyrese Haliburton does not perform to the expected level, the strength of their team can still fill, and then in the first game when both teams are full rest, they can also suppress the Knicks. offensive rebounding contest , and the bench Obi Toppin, Ben Sheppard and Isaiah Jackson were baptized in the first round and entered the situation immediately and made contributions in the first game of the second round .

In addition to offensive rebounds, the Pacers, who are not good on defense, forced the Knicks to make more mistakes compared to the defensive control and awareness of the Knicks’ elite phalanx on the court, the Pacers seemed to be preparing for a lot . various activities of raid group.

For the Knicks, winning the first game is a good thing, and then OG Anunoby’s ability to suppress the performance of Pascal Siakam and whether he was opened by Haliburton are all good signs except McBride’s aforementioned situation, Mitchell Robinson’s injury matches Tom Thibodeau’s Will the next roster rotation decision create new vulnerabilities and problems?

In addition, many people are concerned about the playing time of the Knicks players. My own opinion is that in most offenses, the Knicks will give the rhythm to Jalen Brunson to determine the starting time, and the then decide whether to start a quick attack and offensive. Protective transition.
