The scoring ability has finally been exerted! The Pacers forward player needs to stay in shape in the finals?

Basketball

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the Pacers' substitute forward Obi Toppin's performance was also eye-catching. Toddie played 25 minutes in the game, made 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, and had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Topin also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He also obtained a lot of points through various methods, making a lot of contributions to the team on the offensive end. His extensive offensive methods and comprehensive scoring ability make it impossible for the opponent to effectively limit him. Not only that, Toppin can also use his super athletic ability to cause some trouble for his opponents on the defensive end, and he can also provide some support for the team in terms of rebound protection. Overall, Toppin has shown his strength on both offense and defense. He also helped the team's second team stabilize the situation and made considerable contributions to the team's ability to win this victory.

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 17.1 minutes in his first 16 games, with averaging 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks. He also had 0.9 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 28.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 79.2%.

Toping's overall performance during the playoffs also showed a relatively obvious decline compared to the regular season. His scoring ability was not displayed at all, and his stability outside the three-point line was even more messy. His offensive effect was obviously relatively average. It is also because of the overall performance that Toppin's playing time has also declined significantly compared to before. Topin himself is a player with very good abilities, and he is also an important figure in the team's second team. He is fully capable of taking on more responsibilities. I don’t know if Topin can maintain the same level as in this game in the next finals and provide more support to the team. Considering that the opponent is a powerful Thunder, other Pacers players also need to perform better, Topin must improve his level.
