Thibodeau: Defending Halliburton requires all the players to work together, so he can t give him too much space

On June 1, the NBA playoffs continue, and the Knicks will play the G6 game in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Pacers. Before the game, Knicks coach Thibodeau was interviewed by the media.

Talking about the situation where our team star Towns played with an injury, Thibodeau said: "At this time of year, everyone has to deal with some situations. You must be mentally resilient, survive all these things, and give all of it for the team."

Regarding how to defend Halliburton, Thibodeau said he wants to defend at high positions: "There will be different defensive starting positions, everyone must fight together. You don't want to give him space, so you have to put pressure on the ball, but at the same time, you must arrange a defender in the defensive gap."

Currently, the Knicks are behind the Pacers 2-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals series, and the two teams will start the G6 game at 8 am this morning. ESPN released the G6 winning rate forecast for the two teams before the game, with the Knicks at 42.0% and the Pacers at 58.0%.
