The league s top substitute point guard! The Pacers backcourt s ability and role are seriously underestimated?

In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the Pacers' substitute backcourt player TJ McConnell was still relatively stable. McConnell played 18 minutes and 33 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 4 shots, scored 6 points, 3 assists and 1 steal, and had 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus value of +3. McConnell's playing time and shooting times are still relatively limited, but he also showed good scoring ability and seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. McConnell has also shown some talent in passing and organizing offense, and his defensive contribution is also relatively stable. Overall, McConnell has played his own characteristics on both offense and defense, and the team's situation is relatively stable when he is on the court. It seems that McConnell's data is not very outstanding, but he also played the role of the core of the backcourt of the second team very well, and he also made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, McConnell made a total of 79 appearances in 82 games, averaging 17.9 minutes per game, averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 30.6%, and free throw shooting percentage was 74%. In the playoffs, McConnell averaged 16.4 minutes in his first 14 games, with averaging 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 0.4 steals. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 30%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 83.3%.

McConnell's overall performance during the playoffs this season is quite stable, his offensive efficiency is quite outstanding, his scoring ability is also very reliable, and he has a high level of confidence in mid- and close shooting. McConnell can also play a decisive role in passing and organizing offense, and he can also play a huge value on the defensive end. McConnell is a key figure in the team's second team, and his outstanding performance in all aspects has played a key role in the team's outstanding performance in the playoffs so far. In other words, McConnell is actually a player who is seriously underestimated by everyone, and his personal abilities are actually quite good. It is only because of his role in the team that many of his talents are unable to be played out. Judging from McConnell's performance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the league's top substitute point guard.
