Pacers wing star: Oxford fans are crazy, I also have some difficulty adapting to this atmosphere

NBA Finals G3 is about to begin, Indiana Pacers' wing star Bennedict Mathurin also accepted an interview with reporters during the training. In the interview, he also talked about the home atmosphere created by Oklahoma City Thunder fans during the finals.

In response to this, Mathering said: I don't remember any specific moment that made me realize that this was the finals. All I can say is that Oklahoma City fans are really incredible. Whenever you score a goal, almost all the fans of the court will boo you. I think it is difficult for many players to immerse themselves in such high-intensity games while dealing with this home atmosphere. Although I really want to sigh that I reached the finals, this atmosphere will indeed reduce my concentration on the court. But I am a professional player, and my mentality for me is to play games and complete the game in the right way, striving to play the best side of myself and defeat my opponent.

Since the start of the playoffs, Mathering has made a total of 17 appearances in the first 18 games so far, with averaging 16.4 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89%. In the finals G1, Matherin made 1 of 5 shots and 3 of 4 free throws in 15 minutes and 1 block in the playing time of 15 minutes and 53 seconds, and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. There were 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -8. In the finals G2, Matherin made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the game time of 21 minutes and 5 of 7 free throws. He also had 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -9.

Macelin's performance during the playoffs was actually not very stable. His performance also showed relatively large fluctuations and fluctuations compared with the regular season, which also led to a decrease in his playing time. The biggest problem is that Mathering often plays a role in undermining the team's offensive system when on the court. It seems that Matherin's impact and explosive power are quite good, but when he is on the court, he will directly affect the performance of other players and at some point lead to the team's passiveness on the offensive end. On the other hand, his ability on the defensive end is already very average, and it is difficult for him to play a key role in the defensive end. Matherin has a negative impact on the team in most games. Only in those games where the whole team is silent can he show some value. If Mathering cannot adjust his playing style and improves overall compatibility with the team, his value on the court will also become very limited.
