Iron Man also has times of fatigue! The Knicks forward general is in a critical moment?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference G1, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the New York Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season after a tough overtime battle, 138-135 after a tough game. After this game, the Pacers successfully completed the following draws, gained a 1-0 advantage in the first round of the series, and regained the home advantage.

Although the Knicks lost the game, the team's starting line leader Josh Hart's performance is actually worthy of recognition. Hart played 44 minutes and 03 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 6 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws, and scored quasi-triple double data with 8 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. He also had 1 turnover and 4 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Hart did not get too many points on the offensive end because he didn't make many shots, but at least he seemed very reasonable on the offensive end, and he also showed quite good passing ability and support ability. Hart is also quite dedicated on the defensive end. He has also shown outstanding personal defensive ability, and his performance in rebound protection is also quite outstanding. The problem is that Hart did have physical problems at the last moment, which is also an important factor in the team's final score difference being recovered by the opponent and losing to the opponent in overtime. Even with a strong figure, Hart could not withstand such an intensity game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hart played 77 games in 82 games, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Hart averaged 37.5 minutes in his first 13 games, with averaging 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1 steal, 0.7 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 47.9%, three-point shooting percentage 41.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 75%.

Hart's performance during the playoffs was still able to maintain a good level. Hart's offensive efficiency is quite stable, his three-point shooting percentage is worthy of recognition, his passing and organizational ability are online, and he also has good performance on the defensive end. The problem is that Hart's playing time is still high, and he did not have obvious physical problems in previous games, but this does not mean that he will not have such problems. Judging from the situation in this game, Hart and the Knicks may be in huge trouble facing the Pacers with 10-man rotation.
