Average of 28+7 in the playoffs, and it would be a pity to give up 55 million in four years.

Basketball

On May 20, the league did not arrange games today. With the arrival of the division final, there are fewer and fewer games in the league. This season, the league will have a new super giant. Edwards, Brunson, Alexander and Halliburton are destined to lead the team to win the championship. The two most optimistic teams are the Knicks and the Thunder. The reason why these two teams are favored is that they are more optimistic about breaking out of the division.

Although the Timberwolves and the Thunder played 2-2 in the regular season, the Timberwolves could not defend against the Thunder's three-pointer and Alexander's singles. The Timberwolves faced the Thunder, their biggest advantage was Randle, and the Thunder also had a home advantage, so overall, the Thunder did have a better chance. On the side of the Knicks and the Pacers, the Knicks have stronger paper strength. They have multiple stars or star-level players, while the Pacers have better lineup thickness. If they can maintain health, the Knicks are obviously a stronger team.

The Knicks have not been easy all the way. They met the young Pistons in the first round and were bitten by their opponents. The defending champion Celtics in the second round. As a result, the Knicks relied on their outstanding performance in the core and reached the division finals. The Knicks team has too high fault tolerance. Although their substitute firepower is limited, they have top defensive bottomings. Hart, Bridges and Anunobi are all top defensive players in the starting lineup, and Mitchell Robinson is also very strong in defense on the bench.

The team's core cores Brunson and Towns are also very stable on the offensive end. Towns is now one of the best second-in-comers in the league. He averaged 19.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 48.1%. This is still not an absolute ball, otherwise Towns' performance will be even better. Thibodeau is indeed a good player in building a defensive system, but his ability to build an offense is very limited.

The Knicks' offense can be said to be supported by Brunson. He relied on his excellent offense and pass ability to become the team's ball-holding core and capture the team's offense. The Knicks can reach the division finals in the playoffs. Brunson is the number one hero. He has averaged 28.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game so far. He is sixth in the league and fifth in assists. His performance at critical moments is even more unsolvable.

The Knicks have played a total of 8 critical moments, and Brunson led the team to win 6 games. He averaged 5.4 points and 0.6 assists in 4.2 minutes at critical moments. He averaged 5.4 points and was the highest among all players in the division finals. He is still the king of the final quarter of the playoffs. As a second round pick, Brunson was indeed unexpected to be able to reach his current height. He had already shown his talent during the Mavericks' period, but the Mavericks did not keep him.

He was the No. 3 pick in the second round in 2018 and was in the same draft as Doncic. Brunson became the second round pick that year mainly because he was an older draft. He showed good finishing ability in college, so he got MOP. After entering the league, although he did not get much ball rights and playing time, Brunson gradually settled in the team's rotation position with his stable performance. After Kidd became the head coach, he became the second core of the team, second only to Doncic.

Similar to the current Thunder, the team leader is Alexander. When Alexander leaves the court, Javi will support the team. Brunson was such a role around Doncic. The two led the team to the Western Conference Finals in 22 years. Although they lost to the Warriors, two fourth-grade players led the team to play such results. The Mavericks have a future worth looking forward to. At that time, Brunson faced a contract renewal, but the Mavericks gave up on him.

According to Brunson's personal disclosure, he really wanted to stay in the Mavericks at that time, but the Mavericks were unwilling to give him a contract of 55 million for four years. As a result, Brunson joined the Knicks in anger. You should know that Brunson averaged 16 points per game in the 22-year playoffs. Isn't such a performance of 55 million very valuable? They missed a player who was no less than Doncic. Losing him would be a pity for the Mavericks than giving up Doncic, after all, Brunson asked for a lower price.

After joining the Knicks, Brunson completed a contract renewal with the Knicks in the offseason last year. In order to help the team retain the team, he chose to give up his salary of hundreds of millions. Such players are rare in this league today. After all, players now have a thorough understanding of the commercial league. Brunson has now relied on his abilities to gain recognition from many famous players. A Smith said that Brunson is a super giant, and Garnett praised Brunson as being one of the top five players in the league.

The Knicks found a new generation of King of New York. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about Brunson? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
