Pacers forward general: We have always taken the initiative, but unfortunately we made mistakes

In the previous NBA Finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who returned to home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-109. After winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder also rewritten the total score of the series to 3-2 and won the championship point. After this game, Pacers' forward star Pascal Siakam was interviewed, and he also talked about the team's score at the end of the game to close to 2 points.

In response to this, Siakam said: It is indeed a pity. I think even in such a game, we still had the initiative to win. Whether it is in rebounding or the chance to kick the 55th, we must do our best, and we are all trying our best to handle those details. The opportunity in the game is fleeting, but I think the fighting spirit of our entire team has always been there. No matter how the situation develops in the game, one thing is certain. We insist on fighting throughout the game, and we almost fought to the last moment of the game. Until those mistakes occur, we actually have a chance to complete a comeback in the game.

Siakam has played 21 games so far, averaging 33.4 minutes per game, averaging 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 52.2%, a three-point shooting percentage is 43.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage is 71.1%. In the series G5, although the Pacers lost the game, Siakam's performance was quite good. During the 33 minutes and 16 seconds of playing time, Siakam made 9 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored the team's highest score of 28 points, plus 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He also had 6 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -5.

Siakam has performed very well throughout the playoffs. He has shown quite a steady scoring ability and he is able to score in various ways. In the finals, even when the team is in a bad situation, he can still show off his characteristics on both offense and defense, which is even more difficult. We don't know what the Pacers will perform in G6 next, but after seeing the performance of the team's backcourt core Tyrese Haliburton, perhaps the Pacers should also adjust the team's tactics and ball rights in G6 and give Siakam more opportunities to play. At least from the current situation, the Thunder is most afraid of and the hardest to defend, Siakam.
