The Pacers substitute forward player won the four-sided score. Can he maintain this state?

Basketball

In the previous NBA Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers who played at home 111-104, tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides also returned to the same starting line. Next, both sides will return to Oklahoma City to prepare for the Battle of the King of Kings in the Series G5, which may also greatly affect the final trend of the series.

Although the Pacers lost the game, the team's substitute forward Obi Toppin actually performed well. Toddie played 28 minutes and 47 seconds in the game, made 7 of 12 shots, 2 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 4 free throws, scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist 1 steal 1 block, and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -15. Topin showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He was able to score in various ways. His rich offensive methods, super speed and athletic ability have caused considerable trouble for his opponents, and it seems that it is difficult for the opponent to effectively limit him. Unfortunately, Topin missed two free throws in the third quarter of the game, which also affected the team's situation to a certain extent and led to a reversal in the team's situation to a certain extent. Of course, as a role player, Topin has already brought his abilities to the extreme, and his performance is already outstanding enough.

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 18.7 minutes in his first 20 games, with averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had one turnover and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50%, his three-point shooting percentage was 31.7%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 71.4%.

Topin's performance during the playoffs was actually a bit unstable. His scoring ability cannot maintain sufficient level in every game. However, after all, he is just a substitute player. It is normal for him to play some ups and downs and fluctuations in his performance when his playing time is not stable. Judging from the situation in the finals, Topin can still show his value at some point, and his performance seems to determine the competitiveness of the Pacers' entire team to a large extent. In the next game, Topin's performance may also decline, so will the Pacers' situation be worrying?
