Although the condition is not ideal, the Pacers forward player is still trying hard to adjust his performance?

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, Pacers' starting line leader Pascal Siakam showed a significant decline. Siakam played 29 minutes and 34 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 8 of 9 free throws, and only scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -15. Siakam's performance is still very hard. Although he feels poor on the offensive end, he is also trying to create some damage to his opponent. He has also shown some passing and support abilities, and his performance on the defensive end is also quite hard. In the case of poor feel, he also strives to help and support the team based on his performance in other aspects. However, as the MVP winner of the Eastern Conference Finals and a player with a maximum salary contract, such performance is more or less different from everyone's expectations, which also largely led to the team's final defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played a total of 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%. So far in the playoffs, Siakam has averaged 33.4 minutes in the first 18 games, with averaging 20.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. His shooting percentage is 52.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 45%, and a free throw shooting rate of 68.9%.

Siakam has always performed very well during the playoffs. His offensive efficiency is very stable and his scoring ability is quite good. He is an excellent scorer. He can also use various methods to complete the score. He also has performed well in other aspects. The most important thing is that Siakam has hardly missed the chain in most previous games, which is also an important factor in the Pacers being able to maintain such high competitiveness and pass the competition continuously. Unfortunately, Siakam's condition in this game was indeed very unsatisfactory. Even if he worked very hard, he could not perform as much as he deserved. I don’t know if Siakam’s form will rebound quickly in the future. If he cannot improve his performance, the Pacers will encounter a huge crisis.
