The Pacers backcourt general has finally recovered, but can he maintain this level in G7?

3:52pm, 20 June 2025【Basketball】

In the previous NBA Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91. After this game, the Pacers tied the total score of the series to 3-3, and both sides returned to the same starting line again. Next, both sides will return to Oklahoma City and have a brutal tiebreak battle, which will also determine the final ownership of the championship this season.

In this game, the Pacers' starting and backcourt player Andrew Nembhard also got his due level. Nemhard played 24 minutes and 08 seconds in the whole game, made 5 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +25. Nemhard did not get much out of the phone on the offensive end, but his offensive efficiency was ridiculously high. He also showed off his scoring ability with limited playing time and few shots. Not only that, Nemhard finally showed his ability in passing and organizing. In addition, Nemhard's performance on the defensive end is still remarkable, and he is still an excellent defender. Overall, Nemhard's performance on both offense and defense is quite outstanding, and he has also played his role and made great contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33.3 minutes in his first 22 games, with averaging 12.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.4%, his three-point shooting percentage was 45.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 80%.

Nemhard's performance throughout the playoffs is of course quite outstanding. He can also play a decisive role in both offense and defense. This is also a key factor in the Pacers being able to pass the hurdles and defeat strong opponents continuously and reach the finals without being optimistic. However, Nemhard's performance during the finals was actually not ideal. He did not show his talents on both offense and defense. His previous performance in G5 was even more terrible, and he did not show his due strength at both offense and defense. Nemhard's condition improved in this game. I wonder if he can maintain this state in the next G7.
