The defense effect is not ideal! The overall condition of the Pacers substitute center is a bit worrying?
9:10pm, 22 May 2025【Basketball】
In the previous NBA Eastern Conference G1, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the New York Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season after a tough overtime battle, 138-135 after a tough game. After this game, the Pacers successfully completed the following draws, gained a 1-0 advantage in the first round of the series, and regained the home advantage.
In this game, the Pacers' substitute center Thomas Bryant's performance was obviously not ideal. Bryant played 12 minutes and 55 seconds in the game, made 1 of 3 shots, 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative values were also low to -14, the lowest in the entire game. Bryant did not show enough scoring skills on the offensive end, nor did he score more. Bryant's performance on the defensive end is also not ideal, and his defensive ability and defensive focus are also very worrying. The team's situation when Bryant was on the court was also a mess, which can also be reflected in his super low plus-negative value. Fortunately, the Pacers starters are in excellent form and Bryant's poor performance has not affected the team's victory.
In the NBA regular season this season, Bryant played 66 times for the Miami Heat and Pacers, averaging 14.6 minutes per game, with averaging 6.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 85.9%. In the playoffs, Bryant played 10 games in the first 11 games, averaging 10.2 minutes per game, with averaging 2.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. He shot 50% from the field, 50% from three-point shooting percentage and 87.5% from free throws.
Bryant actually didn't play much during the playoffs before. His offensive efficiency was pretty good, but his playing time and shots were relatively limited, and he couldn't show his offensive talent. In fact, in the previous round of the series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bryant also showed some of his own characteristics to a certain extent. In this game, Bryant continued to get the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup, but his performance was also unsatisfactory. For the Pacers, how they should arrange Bryant's playing time next and whether he should continue to enter the rotation could be a potential question mark.
