The feel is still extremely unstable! The Knicks forward player must do better in the next life-and-death battle?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks, who played at home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94, completing the Jedi victory. Next, both sides will return to the Indianapolis series G6 game. The Pacers still hold the match point, while the Knicks are still facing a back-to-back battle in G6, and they are still on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, although the Knicks won a big victory, the team's starting line leader OG Anunoby's performance was actually not ideal. Anunobi played 33 minutes and 53 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 14 shots, 1 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +15. Anunobi's performance on the defensive end is still very outstanding. He has shown excellent personal defensive ability. He can put huge pressure on his opponents on the defensive end. Unfortunately, Anunobi's performance on the offensive end was surprising. He got a lot of opportunities to make phone calls. He also made many moves outside the three-point line, but he missed opportunities again and again. Anunobi's effect on the court is indeed quite good, but he should have taken on more responsibility and got more points on the offensive end.

In the NBA regular season this season, Anunobi played 74 games in 82 games, averaging 36.6 minutes per game, averaging 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81%. In the playoffs, Anunobi averaged 39.3 minutes in the first 17 games, with averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 40.6%, three-point shooting percentage 34.2%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.8%.

Anunobi's contribution on the defensive end during the playoffs is obvious to all. He is a very excellent defender. His personal defense ability is very outstanding, his defensive aggression is very good, his stealing ability is very outstanding, and he even has a certain ability to protect the basket. However, on the offensive end, Anunobi's performance was actually not ideal. His offensive efficiency declined sharply, and his performance outside the three-point line was also very unstable. Anunobi should have been a high-quality 3D type forward player with both offense and defense, and he also has certain ability to hold the ball and attack, and is a player with very comprehensive abilities. In this game, because the other Knicks players are in excellent condition, Anunobi's performance on the offensive end did not affect the team's victory, but in the next game, he might need to do better?
