A top wing with both offense and defense! Can the Pacers continue to perform like this in the finals?

Basketball

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the Pacers' starting wing player Aaron Nesmith's performance is worthy of recognition. Nesmith played 19 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, made 4 of 8 shots and 2 of 4 from outside the three-point line, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +13. Nesmith also maintained sufficient competitiveness on the offensive end with not much shot and playing time, and he also proved that he was a reliable scorer. Not only that, Nesmith's performance on the defensive end is also good, and he also has extremely high defensive intensity. However, due to the number of fouls, Nesmith did not play much, which also led to his average data. Overall, Nesmith played a decisive role in both offense and defense, and his series of outstanding performances are also an important factor in the team's ability to win.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nesmith played a total of 45 games due to injury, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 50.7%, three-point shooting percentage 43.1%, and 91.2% free throw shooting percentage. In the playoffs, Nesmith averaged 28.8 minutes in the first 16 games, with averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 3.9 fouls. He shot 50.3% from the field, 50% from three-point shooting percentage and 89.7% from free throws.

Nesmith's performance in the playoffs has actually been quite good. He can maintain a very high shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage, and he can also provide a lot of threats to the team on the offensive end. Nesmith's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and he is also the team's reliable outside defender. Overall, Nesmith's role in both offense and defense is very outstanding, and his performance will also greatly directly affect the Pacers' overall competitiveness. Nesmith's performance has experienced some ups and downs, and the Pacers' overall competitiveness has also become unstable. In the next finals, Nesmith's performance will greatly affect the team's overall performance. Can he continue to perform at this level?
