The level of big drop! The Pacers inside pillar, which performed stably, suddenly lost its chain in the Eastern Conference Final G5?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks, who played at home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94, completing the Jedi victory. Next, both sides will return to the Indianapolis series G6 game. The Pacers still hold the match point, while the Knicks are still facing a back-to-back battle in G6, and they are still on the verge of being eliminated.

The Pacers' starting center Myles Turner was obviously very disappointing in this game. Turner played 24 minutes and 10 seconds in the game, made 2 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, and had 4 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -20. Turner made no contribution on the offensive end, his scoring ability and shooting ability were not fully utilized, and he did not assume any more responsibilities and tasks. Not only that, Turner also made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of ball rights. Turner didn't play any particularly outstanding role in defensive end, and his performance in rebounding protection was even worse. At least in this game, Turner did not show his strength at all on both offense and defense. His overall performance on the court was really bad, which also led to the team's defeat to a large extent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Turner played 72 games in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%. In the playoffs, Turner averaged 30.9 minutes in the first 15 games, with averaging 15.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.4 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 52% from the field, 39% from three-point shooting percentage and 77.3% from free throws.

In fact, Turner's performance during the playoffs was very reliable. His offensive efficiency was very stable. He was able to provide a lot of support to the team on the offensive end, and he also had good ability to protect the basket on the defensive end. Turner can be said to be a man who guarded the team's inside line, which is also an important factor in the Pacers being able to overcome all the way. Everyone can also feel that Turner's importance to the Pacers is extremely critical, and it can even be said to be an indispensable inside pillar. Obviously, Turner's performance will also largely determine the Pacers' competitiveness. With Turner playing this, the Pacers wouldn't have the chance to make a breakthrough in this level of competition. I don’t know if Turner can bottom out and rebound in the next G6 and perform at a more accurate level.
