The shooting ability is pretty good! The Pacers substitute center may become the surprise in the finals?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the Pacers' substitute center Thomas Bryant also returned to the rotation due to the absence of another substitute center Tony Bradley, and his performance in this game was also eye-catching. . Bryant played 13 minutes and 02 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 5 shots, 3 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block. There was also foul, with a plus-minus value of +7. Bryant's performance on the offensive end is quite amazing, his shooting ability is fully reflected, and he has also caused considerable trouble for his opponents. Although Bryant has limited ability on the defensive end, he has not exposed his defensive problems. Bryant also showed the effect of a surprise player in this game, and his role on the court was also very obvious. He also helped the team's second team stabilize the situation and made his own contribution to 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 made a total of 14 appearances in the first 16 games, averaging 9.6 minutes, averaging 3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had 0.5 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 53.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90%.

Bryant's playing time during the playoffs has actually decreased to a certain extent. He can indeed play some role on the offensive end, but his performance on the defensive end is indeed relatively average. In the previous games, Bryant suffered a hand injury on the one hand, and Bradley's outstanding performance, which also caused Bryant to fall out of the team's rotation lineup for a while. Bryant, who returned to the rotation lineup in this game, used his outstanding performance to prove that he is capable of staying in the rotation lineup. I don’t know if Bryant can stay in the rotation lineup and create some threats to his opponent in the next finals.
