Xu Jingyu praised Sika s ability above the little card! She angrily criticized Sibodeau as a bad coach and should be fired

NBA playoffs Eastern Conference Finals were very popular, with the Knicks playing against the Pacers at home. The Pacers staged a good reversal in the first match, defeating the Knicks in overtime 138-135 to seize the lead. In this game, Brunson of the Knicks scored 43 points, but the team still lost.

comes to G2 and the game is still fierce. After the opening, the two sides launched a confrontation and the scores rose alternately. The Pacers' Siakam was in full swing and scored more than ten points in the first quarter. He felt hot until the end of the game, scoring 39 points in the game, setting a record high in a single game in the playoffs, becoming the Pacers' player with the highest score in a single game in the playoffs since George.

In the end, the Pacers G2 defeated the Knicks again 114-109, leading by 2-0. On the Knicks' side, Brunson contributed 36 points and 11 assists, and joined forces with the three troikas of Bridges and Towns to score 76 points, but it was still difficult to save the Lord. After the game, basketball commentator Xu Jingyu made a shocking remark. He strongly supports Siakam, saying that his ability is far superior to Leonard; the latter played a good game this season and was hyped up to heaven. At the same time, he was merciless to Knicks coach Thibodeau and said bluntly that he was a bad coach and the Knicks should fire him next season.

In my opinion, Xu Jingyu praised Sika, which is really reasonable. Sika played 78 games in the regular season this season, with a very high attendance rate. In the Pacers, he can integrate into the team system regardless of whether he feels good or badly. On the offensive end, he has strong singles ability, inside and outside; this time he faces the Knicks, he has strong scoring ability. On the other hand, Leonard has been overly praised for only one good game this season, and Sika is indeed more stable.

Looking at Thibodeau again, there are indeed problems with his coaching. In terms of employment, if Bridges plays for 45 minutes in a game, the players' physical energy will be consumed too much. And there seems to be no good idea in offensive tactic arrangement. The team has a single offensive method and is overly dependent on star singles. Although Brunson's data is good in this game, the team's overall cooperation is insufficient.

From the perspective of external factors, the Pacers' Carlisle coach is very good. He trained the Pacers, whose lineup was not luxurious, with great combat effectiveness. Players cooperate tacitly and implement tactical strategies in place. In contrast, Thibodeau failed to fully utilize the Knicks' strength.

In addition, Thibodeau is not timely enough in on-site response. The situation changed rapidly during the game, and he failed to make quick adjustments and seized the Pacers' weaknesses to attack. For example, when Sika was in a hot state, there was no targeted defensive arrangement.

But then again, Thibodeau is not useless, and he has led the Bulls to achieve good results. But as far as the Knicks' performance in the Eastern Conference Finals is concerned, he should indeed reflect on his way of employing people. If the Knicks really want to go further in this round of the series, they may have to consider the team's new tactics, otherwise they might be easily eliminated by the Pacers, which disappoints the fans.

Judging from these two games, the Knicks' turnovers are above double digits, and the number of assists in a single game is lower than that of the Pacers, and they are too dependent on Brunson. The reason why the lead in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was mainly because in addition to Brunson, teammates such as Hart and Bridges were able to give out multiple assists, completely revitalizing the team's offense. But in the second game, the team's total assists did not exceed 20, relying too much on Brunson's offensive development.

If it is the third life-and-death battle in the series, if the Knicks want to reverse and turn the tables, they still have to solve the problem of offensive development relying too much on the leading stars, so that Hart can play his pass advantage. At the same time, Towns also has to use his offensive deterrence to create offensive opportunities for his teammates. Of course, physical confrontation must also be increased on the defensive end and give more pressure to the ball holder. Only in this way can one win the next victory and not fall to the point of being swept away.
