Pacers win easily in the G6, but the status of the inside pillar is worrying

In the NBA Finals G6 that was played not long ago, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91 at home, thus tying the total score of the series to 3-3. At present, both sides have returned to the same starting line and will start a tiebreak battle in Oklahoma City that will determine the title of this season's championship.

Despite the Pacers' successful victory, the performance of starting center Miles Turner is unsettling. In the 26 minutes and 09 seconds of the field, Turner only made 1 goal with nine shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers and 1 of 2 free throws, and finally contributed only 3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +19. Obviously, Turner hardly showed his proper feel on the offensive end. He had made many phone calls, but he was unable to show his scoring ability. Although he performed well in defense and showed a certain ability to protect the basket, as a comprehensive inside player, Turner's offensive disorder was quite disappointing. He is fully capable of providing more support to the team, but it has not actually met expectations.

Looking back at the regular season this season, Turner has participated in a total of 82 games, playing 72 games, and averaged 30.2 minutes of playing time. His data was 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%. After entering the playoffs, Turner's average playing time in the first 22 games dropped to 29.6 minutes, with statistics of 14.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.1 blocks, with shooting percentages of 48.4%, 34.5% and 79.3% respectively in the three events.

Overall, Turner's performance in the playoffs is still worthy of recognition, showing both offense and defense, and playing an important role on the court. However, during the finals, his performance was not stable enough, his offensive efficiency dropped significantly, and he had a sluggish performance many times. Although he can still take on the defense and protect the inside, his performance in rebounds has never improved significantly. Turner was supposed to take more responsibility in the finals, but his performance at this time failed to meet expectations. In the upcoming G7, whether Turner can improve himself in the face of the Thunder's recovery will have a crucial impact on whether the Pacers can win the championship.
