In this game, many of the New York Knicks stars gathered to watch a game that was coming back from an upset, but seemed to have a chance to win before the end of the regular season. We can take down many simple attacks and defenses at the end. game and see who made the mistake, failure to advance or execution caused the outcome, but both teams, especially the Philadelphia 76ers, pushed the limits of short-term competitiveness and risk at long term.

1. Adaptations in Jalen Brunson’s defense

Looking at the distance between Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein’s pick-and-rolls from the basket in the long run, the deeper the series goes, the farther the starting pick-and-rolls are from the basket in Game 4 . , the Knicks pulled a lot outside the three-point line to run pick-and-rolls, allowing Brunson to have more space to start and use his runs, and he played one-on-one. header with Joel Embiid and succeeded. very good results.

But in Game 5, the 76ers, including Kelly Oubre Jr., repeatedly got stuck in Brunson’s handoffs and caused obstacles, or more often teamed up with Brunson not far from half court, allowing the Knicks to truly reach half court. The start of the offense was delayed a lot – especially Brunson’s habit of going through the half in eight seconds to expand the entire defensive zone.

Some may say that facing the Knicks without Julius Randle and without teaming up with Brunson, shouldn’t they face it early? Yes, but once the perimeter is doubled, when Brunson passes the ball, before the doublers return, the remaining players, especially the center, Embiid, must support a very large area of ​​coverage.

2. Embiid appears to be weakening as he takes new steps to win.

Therefore, the 76ers were able to make many of the defensive changes mentioned above in this game because Embiid increased his load significantly. This may be the first time in my memory that he obviously relies more on will than talent (given his current physique). state), to have an impactful game.

The above concerns the defensive end, not to mention the offensive end. Without Embiid’s hard work taking nearly half of the attention away from the New York Knicks, there would be no way the rest of the 76ers could make a move, yes, even if he did. doesn’t play more effectively, he still made Nick dare not relax.

He’s not the MVP who dominates everything in this game, but he is a man who is willing to crawl across the muddy ground covered in dirt, so that teammates like Tyrese Maxey can step over his body to advance on sacks of sand or broken tanks. tracks.

And the partners who benefited were not only Maxey, who saw more opportunities for Oubre and Tobias Harris to play isolated with the ball, and scored a total of 33 points with very good efficiency and most of them came from from Embiid who held the ball; ball at the start. This led to a buildup of defense on the strong side and many quicker but risky transitions from the strong side to the weak side.

So it’s true that Embiid made a lot of mistakes, but in my opinion, a lot of those mistakes were caused by his willingness to squeeze people tighter, or by his willingness to shoot straight through the opposing side without passing the ball from the outside late in the stride; In the game, if you look at Embiid’s many mistakes when he was double-teamed and dropping the ball, his feet usually lost position on the previous shot, preventing him from extending and consolidating his moves and his 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 solidifying the rebounds are also the key to a deadlocked game that ended in a draw in the regular season, but The overall game situation still plays out depends on how Nick Nurse and Embiid recognize the current state of his body, make attempts and bets, and then expose the results that arise. extend over the entire game.

3. Possible modifications

In addition to Embiid’s knee reaching the critical point of use, Bojan Bogdanovic will be out for the season with a sprained wrist. While he may not be a significant source of stability for the Knicks, after all, he does have size and outside utility. , and can also help with dribbling and secondary moves, missing him is definitely a loss for the Nicks.

Additionally, in the fourth game it was quite effective, with the attacking combination of Precious Achiuwa and OG Anunoby. In Game 5, Tom Thibodeau didn’t even try it. One possibility is that this training consumes too much for Anunoby, or. he doesn’t want too much exposure?

In both of these games, Anunoby was given more offensive roles with the ball. This is of course due to the Knicks adapting to the 76ers’ defensive strategy, but it may also mean that the Knicks are aware of the need to increase the number of players. opportunities to intervene with the ball. Follow the candidate.

On the 76ers side, Harris and Oubre shared the role of auxiliary point of attack very well in this game. In this game, there were a few empty-handed move errors from Embiid passing to Harris. If it was corrected a little, it would be enough. affect the victory of the match.

Regarding the fact that Hart is actually the source of Nick’s offensive and defensive transitions and scores, especially his direct action after grabbing defensive rebounds, this actually caused a lot of damage to the 76ers. Will the nurse have other answers to this?
