Average 19.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. The shooting percentage is 46.8%.

Why did the Knicks trade to Towns? Because Towns has what the team needs, he believes that Towns' arrival can take the Knicks a step further!

The Knicks have been sleeping on firewood and tasting gall for several years, and they have to pass five levels and beat six generals to win the championship! Knicks fans have been waiting for this day for too long. To win the championship, we must strengthen our shortcomings and find strong support. It is said that the forwards win the world. They found Bridges and Anunobi at the forwards, but they still failed to reach the Eastern Conference Final. The Knicks found that the inside was still short of people and the inside offensive killer, so they traded for Towns.

Thibodeau and Towns are old acquaintances. Thibodeau coached Towns. Thibodeau knows which players can be used by him and can achieve good results under his platoon. The arrival of

Downs has helped the Knicks a lot.

1. Accurate external projection ability! Brunson can make a breakthrough easier now, largely because of Towns' threat from outside shooting. If the Knicks' starting center is still Mitchell Robinson, and he still needs to play a lot of time, then the Knicks' inside line will be very crowded. Mitchell Robinson does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers. He entered the NBA in 2018. He has played in 337 games for so many years in his career and has never made a three-pointer! He is more of a pie ending in the inside. The Knicks' starting centers last season were Harten and Mitchell Robinson, and their offenses were relatively weak. There is a big gap with Towns.

2. The arrival of Towns makes the Knicks' lineup more reasonable! The defender has Brunson, Bridges and Anunobi on the front line, and Towns on the inside. There are strong points in the inside, and there are strong points in the outside! Only by having both inside and outside can the team go further, with a higher upper limit and a more balanced strength!

3. Improve the Knicks' talent. Towns is the No. 1 pick, and his arrival makes the Knicks' talent stronger.

Next to play against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, Towns needs to do more and better in the following aspects.

1. Improve defense replacement ability! There is a saying in the NBA that offense wins fans and defense wins the final championship! Defense is very important, especially when facing the Pacers, attacking, the Pacers have never been afraid of anyone! Their offensive firepower is very fierce and the defender has strong offensive ability, which means there are many opportunities for misalignment in small plays and big plays. Towns has to hold on the defensive end! When switching defenses in dislocation, you cannot make the Pacers' outside players break through more easily!

2. Strengthen offensive firepower! Towns has a strong offensive ability! The Knicks can give Towns more ball rights, have enough tactical status and more shooting rights, and Towns can score some points! If he keeps having to do back-running exercises, it will also undermine his enthusiasm on both offense and defense.

3. Improve the three-point shooting percentage! Towns averaged 3.7 three-pointers per game so far this year's playoffs, hitting 1.3 goals, and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.1%. This is not Towns' best level! Towns averaged 4.7 three-pointers per game in the regular season this year, hitting 2 goals, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 42%. Towns has a very strong outside projection ability. He still has a lot of room for improvement in his three-pointers in the playoffs, and he can make more shots and shoot more accurately!

4. Continue to fight hard and stay tough! The Knicks lagged behind the Celtics many times in the semi-finals, but neither Brunson nor Towns Bridges gave up, and finally completed major reversals many times and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals! I hope that in the Eastern Conference Finals, Towns can be as tough as the second round!

5. Use playoff experience! Towns is also a veteran. He has been fighting in the league for many years and has rich game experience! When we arrive at the Eastern Conference Finals, we not only need to compete for our skills and talent, but also experience is very important! Towns should play the role of a veteran and stabilize the morale of the army. Towns has experienced a lot in recent years, and he has grown a lot and matured a lot. I hope that this time Towns can seize the opportunity and win the championship I finally missed!
