The Thunder unexpected move! The substitute guard rookie enters the rotation in the finals G1

In the first game of the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers showed tenacious fighting spirit, staged a reversal in the last quarter, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder, and narrowly defeating their opponent 111-110 in the end. In particular, Tyres Halliburton's final victory at a critical moment completely ignited the team's morale, allowing the Pacers to take the lead in the series and take a good position on a psychological level. In the game, Thunder's substitute guard Ajay Mitchell unexpectedly got a chance to play, but his performance failed to be as good as expected. Mitchell missed all three shots during the 4 minutes and 10 seconds on the court, but failed to score once outside the three-point line, only gaining 1 point and 3 rebounds. Although he made some efforts in the competition for rebounds in the frontcourt, his performance in other aspects was disappointing, and his lack of scoring ability and depressed defensive and organizational defensiveness have limited him and his playing time has been reduced.

Looking back on his performance this season, Mitchell averaged 16.6 minutes of playing time in the regular season, able to contribute 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists, performing relatively well with a shooting percentage of 49.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.3%, and his free throw percentage also reached 82.9%. However, in the playoffs, his playing time was shortened to an average of 7.6 minutes, with only 4.1 points left in scoring, only 0.8 and 0.4 rebounds and assists, respectively. Although his three-point shooting percentage was still 41.7%, his free throw shooting percentage dropped to 66.7%, which was obviously not as good as in the regular season.
