The condition has declined significantly. Why did the Pacers forward general lose his temper when facing the Cavaliers?
10:44am, 15 May 2025【Basketball】
In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G3, the Cleveland Cavaliers rebounded strongly and defeated the Indiana Pacers who returned to home 126-104, tying the total score of the series to 1-2. Considering the super competitive strength shown by the Cavaliers in this game, this round of the series still looks very suspenseful.
In this game, Pacers' starting lineman Pascal Siakam's performance was obviously relatively average. Siakam played 27 minutes and 36 seconds in the whole game, made 8 of 14 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -14. Siakam also got a certain score on the offensive end, but he did not show particularly outstanding abilities. Esiakam's ability, he did not do this when the team needed him to stand up on the offensive end and did not provide more support to the team. On the other hand, Siakam's performance on the defensive end is also not ideal. He should have been a very reliable player on the defensive end, but he did not show his own characteristics at all on the defensive end. Siakam's performance on both offense and defense was very disappointing, which greatly affected the team's competitiveness and led to the team's defeat.
In the NBA regular season this season, Siakam played a total of 78 games in 82 games, averaging 32.7 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 51.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 73.4%. In the playoffs, Siakam averaged 32.5 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 18.3 points, 6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 3.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 54.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40.7%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 65.4%.
Siakam is an indispensable key figure in the team. His performance on both offense and defense is very outstanding. His performance in the first round of the playoffs is impressive, which is also a key factor in the team being able to easily defeat the Milwaukee Bucks. However, in this round of the series, the situation seemed to have changed completely. Even though the Pacers beat the Cavaliers in both previous games, Siakam's performance was a bit disappointing, and he did not play his full value. His performance in this game further declined. For the Pacers, Siakam's importance is visible to the naked eye, and the strength of the Knight is there. If Siakam cannot improve his form, there should be a lot of suspense in this round of series.
