Pacers forward general: We didn t seize the opportunity, and our opponents execution was better

In the previous NBA Finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers who played at home 111-104, tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides also returned to the same starting line. After this game, Pacers' starting lineman Pascal Siakam was interviewed by reporters. In the interview, he also talked about the loss of this game, his four steals in the first quarter and the team's problems in the offensive center transfer.

When talking about the loss of this game, Siakam said: Every loss of the team at this stage will be disappointing. Of course we want to win the game, and we do have many good time in the game, and we have created some opportunities to win, but unfortunately, we failed to seize such a good opportunity in the end. When talking about completing four steals in the first quarter of the game, Siakam said: The key is to appear in the right position at the right time. We need to work hard to implement the team's defensive strategy and maintain the defensive enthusiasm of all employees. Of course, there may be some luck to complete so many steals in a single quarter.

When talking about the issue of shifting the offensive center of gravity, Siakam continued: When the opponent focuses on me, I will look for other opportunities through continuous movement. The way to influence the game is not just achieved by scoring points, grabbing rebounds or giving assists can also change the situation of the game. Therefore, I also adjusted my playing style on the field and tried to create more opportunities for my teammates. Our loss in the last moment in this game cannot be simply attributed to the team's shooting errors. The fact is that we have many problems in multiple links, and the opponent's execution ability at critical moments is obviously better.

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%. So far in the playoffs, Siakam has averaged 33.4 minutes in the first 20 games, with averaging 20.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also has 1.1 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 51.8%, his three-point shooting percentage is 42.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 70.2%. Siakam's performance during the playoffs is obvious to everyone. He has excellent scoring ability and stable offensive efficiency. His performance in passing and supporting is also very outstanding. Facing the opponent's defense, Siakam does have a high game reading ability, and he can also show his own characteristics in other aspects. In the next game, can Siakam help the team make further breakthroughs in their record?
