played for 38 minutes and 30 seconds, made 9 of 13 shots, 8 of 9 three-pointers and scored 30 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and became the number one hero of the Pacers' East Final G1 reverse, yes, this is the Pacers forward young player - Nesmith! In this game, the Pacers were able to finally score overtime and win the game while falling 17 points behind in the fourth quarter, thanks to Nesmith's unsolved three-point performance in the last half of the quarter. During this period, he made all five shots outside the three-point line, and even many shots had no space. They raced against time, but the balls entered the basket accurately again and again.
Let's talk about how this forward player came to the Pacers. Back in 2020, Nesmith was selected by the Celtics with 14 picks. However, in the first two years of his career, he was unable to get enough opportunities to play because his position overlapped with Tatum and Jaylen Brown, which led to his very average personal performance. The common scores in the Celtics' two-year career did not exceed 5 points. Finally, in July 2022, the Celtics and the Pacers made a 6-for-1 deal. The specific transaction content was: the Celtics gave Thece, Nesmith, Stauskas, Malik Fitz, Juwan Morgan, the first round pick in 2023, and got Brogdon from the Pacers' trade. After this transaction, the two teams each got what they wanted. After Brogden made a name for the Celtics, he became the team's main bargaining chip for Holiday later. In the end, the Celtics' core lineup for the championship was built and won the championship as expected last season! After Nesmith came to the Pacers, she grew rapidly. Her average playing time soared to 24.9 minutes in her first season, and her personal data also reached 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, and her three-point shooting increased to 36.6%! With the soaring tactical status, Nesmith's performance has become more and more stable. In the past two seasons, he has basically averaged 12+4+2 per game, with his shooting percentage remaining at around 50%, and his three-point shooting percentage being around 42%. This season, he has increased his personal free throw shooting percentage to 91%! In the playoffs, Nesmith's personal data increased to an average of 16.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 53.9%, and a three-point shooting percentage of terrible 53.8%! We all know that the Pacers are an offensive team, but Nesmith's growth has made their defensive end change. This season, their defense ranks 14th in the league. After Nesmith returned from injury and returned to the lineup on January 16, the team's defensive efficiency has further improved, and the ranking has jumped to 11th. The Pacers are the team that can reach the Eastern Conference semifinals for two consecutive seasons. Halliburton's organizational connection is important, but Nesmith's stable contribution and Mr. Big Heart's attributes are also crucial. He is no longer a rescue of the Pacers! In the third game against the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs last year, he made two free throws with 7 seconds left in regular time, and with both sides drew in overtime, he hit a key three-pointer to help the team secure the victory. In the second round of the tiebreak against the Knicks, he made 8 of 8 shots and scored 19 points, helping the team successfully advance. Coming to the playoffs of this season, the Bucks averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds per game in the first round. In the second round, facing the All-Star guard combination Mitchell + Garland was not afraid. Mitchell could not play well when facing his defense. In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he handed in 30 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and made 9 of 13 shots. Among them, he made 6 three-pointers in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, becoming the first player in NBA history to hit 6 three-pointers in the fourth quarter of the playoffs. While setting a NBA god-level record, he also helped the team complete a shocking reversal!
From the result: the 6-for-1 big deal in 22, the Celtics and the Pacers were both winners of this deal, and they all achieved the good results they wanted. The Pacers' lineup can reach the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and judging from the current competition, they even have the possibility of going further. The tenacity of this team is worthy of everyone's respect. It has completed a desperate comeback many times in the playoffs. The championship requires a certain amount of luck, but all of this requires the players to have enough belief. After all, opportunities will only give those who are prepared, so do you think the Pacers can eventually eliminate the Knicks? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
