In this game, many New York Knicks stars gathered together to see a game that came back from a reversal, but apparently they had a chance to win before the end of the regular season game and see who made the mistake, failure on promotion, or execution that led to the result, but both teams, especially the Philadelphia 76ers, have been challenging the limits of short-term competitiveness and long-term risk.

1. A change in Jalen Brunson’s defense

If we look at the distance between the pick of Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein from the basket in the long run, the deeper the series goes, the further away from the basket the starting pick will be in the fourth game , the Knicks drew many of them outside the three-point line to execute pick-and-rolls, allowing Brunson to have more space to initiate and use his steps, and he played one-on-one with Joel Embiid, and he achieved. very good results.

But in Game 5, the 76ers, Kelly Oubre Jr. including, stuck in Brunson’s hands and caused obstacles, or often double-teamed Brunson close to half court, allowing the Knicks to reach half court Time to start the attack it was heavily delayed – especially Brunson’s practice of just passing the halftime in eight seconds to stretch the entire defensive zone.

Some might say, facing the Knicks without Julius Randle and a double-teamed Brunson, shouldn’t they be dealing with him very early? Yes, but once the perimeter is double-teamed, when Brunson hands the ball off, before the double-teams return, the remaining players, especially the center, Embiid, have to carry a very large coverage area .

2. Embiid seems to be faltering as he takes more steps to win.

Therefore, the 76ers were able to make many of the above defensive adjustments in this game because Embiid greatly increased his load. condition), to have a winning game.

The above is about the defensive end, not to mention the offensive end is not playing more effectively, it still made Nick not to rest.

He’s not the reigning MVP in this game, but he’s a guy who’s willing to crawl on the muddy ground covered in dirt, so players like Tyrese Maxey can step over his body to move on on sandbags or tanks with broken. paths.

And the partners who benefited from this were not just Maxey, who saw more opportunities for Oubre and Tobias Harris to play alone with the ball, and they scored a total of 33 points with efficiency awesome; and most of it came from Embiid holding the ball in the beginning.

So it’s true that Embiid made a lot of mistakes, but in my opinion, a lot of those mistakes were caused by him wanting to squeeze people tighter, or wanting to shoot directly through the opponent’s side without passing the ball through the outside; game, if you look at many of Embiid’s mistakes when he was double-teamed and dropped the ball, his feet would usually lose their position in the previous shot, preventing him from ‘extends and consolidates his movements and space to protect the ball.

Of course, Maxey’s performance, both teams’ free throws, the Knicks’ three-point accuracy in this game, and the 76ers finally securing the rebounds are also key to a stalemate game that ended in the game in the regular season, but The The flow of the entire situation of the game still depends on how Nick Nurse and Embiid recognize the current state of his body, make attempts and gambles, and then interpret the results which extends from the whole game.

3. Possible changes

In addition to when Embiid’s knee reaches the required level of use, Bojan Bogdanovic will be out for the season due to a wrist sprain. Although he is not a significant source of stability for the Knicks, after his -all in all, he has height and versatility, and he can also help dribble and make secondary moves, missing him is definitely a loss for the Knicks.

In addition, in the fourth game, he was very effective, with the advanced combination of Precious Achiuwa and OG Anunoby In the fifth game, Tom Thibodeau did not even try it, he does not want too much transparency?

In these two games, Anunoby was given more offensive roles with the ball. opportunities to cut in with the ball Follow the candidate.

On the side of the 76ers, Harris and Oubre shared the role of the supporting point of attack well in this game to affect the outcome of the game.

As for Hart actually being the cause of Nick’s offense and defensive transitions and scoring, especially his direct action after grabbing defensive rebounds, he actually did a lot of damage to the 76ers Will there be any response has a nurse for this?
