Mainstream! Pacers forward star almost never fell through the chain until the finals?

In a previous NBA Finals G1 game, the Indiana Pacers completed a comeback in the final quarter and narrowly defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder who played at home with a quasi-final win of the backcourt core Tyrese Haliburton. After this game, the Pacers took the lead in the series, leading the opponent 1-0 with a total score, and gaining a psychological advantage.

In this game, Pacers' starting power forward Pascal Siakam also maintained a stable level. Siakam played 34 minutes and 59 seconds in the whole game, made 7 of 15 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 6 free throws, and scored a double-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -10. Siakam's performance in this game is still very reliable, his offensive efficiency is still very stable, he has also demonstrated his comprehensive scoring ability and won a lot of points in various ways, and he also has certain passing ability and support ability. Siakam's performance in rebounding protection is also worthy of recognition, and he can also show his comprehensive scoring ability. Overall, Siakam also played his own characteristics. His positive and negative values ​​were not ideal, but this was also closely related to the poor performances of other players on the court at that time. Judging from Siakam's performance, he has also made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played a total of 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%. So far in the playoffs, Siakam has averaged 3.6 minutes of playing time in the first 17 games, with averaging 20.9 points, 6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks, and 1.1 turnover and 2.9 fouls. His shooting percentage is 53.3%, his three-point shooting percentage is 46.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 66.7%.

Siakam's overall performance during the playoffs has been very stable. His scoring ability is very good, and his offensive efficiency has always been at a high level. He can maintain extremely high stability in almost every game, and he can also help the team hold the lower limit. Siakam also received the honor of MVP in the Eastern Conference Finals, which is also the greatest recognition of his outstanding performance. In the next game, the Thunder actually needs to find ways to effectively limit Siakam's point, or at least give him greater deterrence. Siakam may be really underestimated in his value to the team.
