6 fouls and 5 mistakes, the former Lakers Iron Man was targeted, has he burned out his peak ahead of schedule?

The Eastern Conference Finals continued, and the Knicks, who completed a super reversal, saw a glimmer of hope. If you can defeat the Pacers again away, the series will be tilted towards the Knicks, and in addition to equalizing the overall score, you will also regain your home advantage. However, after a hard battle, the Knicks lost to the Pacers again away, allowing the latter to get the match point, which is now very dangerous.

In fact, fans with a little bit of vision know that the Knicks' playing style cannot reach the end. On the one hand, the number of rotations is too small, and the style of playing is very expensive, which makes the players' physical fitness decline rapidly. For example, forward Josh Hart made sacrifices in these two games and served as a substitute for the team, but he still played a lot of time, and played for 36 minutes in this game. But Josh Hart faced a strong opponent like the Pacers. Although he scored a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, he also made 6 fouls and 5 mistakes. This former Lakers iron man was obviously targeted in this round of the series. As the first round pick in 2017, Josh Hart played for the Lakers at the beginning of his career, but the Purple and Gold Army had internal and external troubles in that era, and had no time and patience at all, and he seriously trained rookie players, let alone players like Josh Hart, who were not originally ranked high. Sure enough, in the summer of 2019, the Lakers officially received "Brother Davis" Anthony Davis, and Josh Hart became a victim. He was part of the bargaining chip and was sent to the New Orleans Pelicans. In fact, after the Lakers left, Josh Hart had some complaints and hinted that his old club did not focus on cultivating himself, which caused a stir at that time.

But Josh Hart is indeed successful, because after leaving the Lakers, he can play with his personal performance no matter where he plays. Especially after he switched to the Knicks, Josh Hart played for a lot of time. He did not take the ball offensively, but he almost covered all the dirty work of the team. In particular, Josh Hart is only 1.96 meters tall and is considered a guard in his regular cognition, but he always strives for rebounds and often gets double-double in a single game. Even during this year's playoffs, Josh Hart averaged 12 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. The Knicks were able to eliminate the Pistons and the Celtics respectively, and he made great contributions.

However, in this round of the series, Josh Hart's performance was not that outstanding. After all, the Pacers players are full of physical talents. If you work hard on the court, you will eventually feel tired. The Knicks are really too ruthless with Josh Hart. Even as a substitute, he often leads the team when playing time. Although Josh Hart is only 30 years old, he is used like this by the Knicks all day. I am really afraid that he has burned out his peak in advance and will directly drop in the distance in two years.
