He scored 20 points in 20 minutes, and there was a powerful scorer hidden on the Pacers bench?

Basketball

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, rebounded strongly and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1, winning the match point of this round of series, while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and were far ahead in their record, were in big trouble.

In this game, the substitute forward Obi Toppin also once again showed his outstanding scoring ability. He broke through the game and played for 20 minutes and 44 seconds, made 9 of 14 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He also had 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +9. Topin is simply unstoppable on the offensive end. He constantly creates damage through his advantages in physical talent and athletic ability of the opponents, and has achieved quite good results. Topin's big explosion also made the opponent unable to effectively restrict him. Topin's performance on the defensive end is also considered to be average and maintains a high degree of stability. Overall, Toping has played his own characteristics on both offense and defense. He has also produced impressive data when his playing time is limited, and he has also made his own contribution to the team's big victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Toppin made a total of 79 appearances in 82 games, averaging 19.6 minutes per game, averaging 10.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 78.1%. In the playoffs, Toppin averaged 16.4 minutes in his first nine games, with averaging 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 52.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 64.3%.

Topin's playing time during the playoffs was also further reduced compared to the regular period, which led to some of his data declines. However, in the limited playing time, Toppin can also show off his offensive characteristics, and his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage can also be maintained at an extremely high level, which is not easy. Topin is actually a player with outstanding scoring ability, and his ability is also somewhat underestimated. Judging from the current situation, due to his playing time, some of his potential has not been fully stimulated. In other words, the Pacers' lineup depth is actually very thick. They have strong players like Toppin on the bench. Maybe they can still perform more competitively?
