In the previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G3, the New York Knicks completed a big reversal in the final quarter after a hard battle, defeating the Indiana Pacers who played at home 106-100. After this game, the Knicks also tied the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that there is still a lot of suspense in this round of series.

In this game, Delon Wright, the Knicks' substitute backcourt player, also got the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup, and his performance is also worthy of recognition. Wright played 13 minutes and 20 seconds in the game, made 1 of 1 shot, and scored 2 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of +2. Wright also seized the opportunity and scored 2 points on the offensive end, and he also had certain ability to conduct balls. The most important thing is that Wright's performance on the defensive end is remarkable. He has indeed played a good role on the defensive end, and he has also proved that he is a reliable outside defender. Wright's performance in this game was indeed relatively stable, he was able to provide all-round support, his effect on the court is also worthy of recognition, he has also proved that he is capable of taking on more responsibilities and tasks, and he is also worthy of a rotation lineup position.

After joining the Knicks, Wright made a total of 14 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 4.3 points, 1. Rebounds 2.1 assists 0.9 steals 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%. During the playoffs, Wright played 3 games in the first 15 games, averaging 5.6 minutes per game, averaging 0.7 points, 0.3 assists and 0.3 steals, and a shooting percentage of 100%.

Wright joined the Knicks after buying out the contract in the second half of the regular season. He occasionally gets some opportunities in the regular season. In fact, his performance on the defensive end has always been quite good, and his efficiency on the offensive end is not that bad. But in the playoffs, Wright had no playing time or performance opportunities before, and he was unable to play his various characteristics. Wright himself is also a player with good abilities, especially on the defensive end, he is actually very distinctive. However, the problem is that Knicks head coach Tom Thiboddeau has huge problems with the use of substitutes, which has also caused the team's starting players to be very tired, and the substitutes' abilities are not able to be displayed. Wright himself has the ability to enter the rotation lineup, and he has proved this with his performance. Will he get more playing time in the next game?
