Missed open shots again and again! Why did the Pacers forward suddenly miss the accuracy of the playoffs?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks, who played at home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94, completing the Jedi victory. Next, both sides will return to the Indianapolis series G6 game. The Pacers still hold the match point, while the Knicks are still facing a back-to-back battle in G6, and they are still on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, the Pacers' substitute forward Obi Toppin's performance was obviously not ideal. Toddie played 17 minutes and 39 seconds in the game, made 4 of 10 shots, 0 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws, scored 11 points and 4 rebounds, and had 1 turnover and 2 fouls. The plus and negative value reached the lowest level of -26 in the game. Toppin also got a lot of shots on the offensive end, but his touch in the outside shooting was really a mess, and he missed many open shots in a row. Toppin's performance on the defensive end is also not ideal, and he has not shown his strength either. Topin's performance in this game was obviously a very disappointing one. He should have taken on more responsibilities on both sides of the offense and defense, but he did not do that. The plus or negative value of -26 also shows how bad the team's situation is when he is on the court.

In the NBA regular season this season, Toppin made a total of 79 appearances in 82 games, averaging 19.6 minutes per game, averaging 10.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 78.1%. In the playoffs, Toppin averaged 16.5 minutes in the first 15 games, with averaging 8.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.1 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 2 fouls, shooting percentage of 49%, three-point shooting percentage of 26.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%.

In the regular season this season, Toping showed quite good scoring ability. He also had excellent offensive efficiency when playing time was limited. He is a scorer with very comprehensive abilities, and his performance outside the three-point line is also worthy of recognition. As a result, in the playoffs, Toppin's three-point shooting percentage dropped sharply, and his contribution on the offensive end was not as good as in the regular season, and his performance on the court was also very unstable. Topin should have been a very critical figure in the team's second team, and he is fully capable of taking on more responsibilities, but he has no way to do this. I wonder if he can perform better in the next game and whether he can play his performance in the regular season?
