When the team is in a huge crisis, the Pacers wing star found its state again?

In the previous NBA Finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, rebounded strongly and defeated the Indiana Pacers 123-107, tying the total score of the series to 1-1, and both sides also returned to the same starting line. With the competitiveness shown by the Thunder in this game, there should be a lot of suspense in this round of the series.

In this game, although the Pacers lost the game, the team's substitute wing star Bennedict Mathurin also improved to a certain extent. Mathering played 21 minutes and 53 seconds in the whole game, made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9. Matherin's performance on the defensive end is still very average, and his defensive ability is still very limited. However, Matherin's performance on the offensive end has also improved significantly. He has also demonstrated his comprehensive scoring ability and won a large number of points in various ways. It is not easy to do this with limited playing time and few shots. Matherin has also proved that he is a pretty good scorer, and his independent scoring ability and impact are excellent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Mathering played a total of 72 games in 82 games, averaging 29.8 minutes per game, averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.3 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage 34%, and free throw shooting percentage 83.1%. In the playoffs, Matherin played 17 games in the first 18 games, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage 29.3%, and 89% free throw shooting percentage.

Muserin's performance during the playoffs is really a bit of a love-hate thing. It seems that his data is quite good, but his data is actually very deceptive. In some games where the team is in good condition, Matherin often cannot provide more help to the team. He can even be said to have a full negative effect on the court, which often leads to the team's offensive system being destroyed. However, in other times, such as in this game, when the team's situation is not ideal, many players are silent or dare not take on more responsibilities, Matherin can play some of his own value. How to stimulate Mathering's potential and how to help the team contribute during regular time is a problem that the Pacers need to solve.
