Although the Knicks suffered a series of losses, the state of the forward general has improved significantly?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks who played at home 114-108 again. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 2-0. Next, they will return to home court to continue fighting. It seems that they have already gained an absolute advantage and initiative in this round of series, as they have won two consecutive away games.

Although the Knicks lost the game, the team's starting line leader OG Anunoby actually performed well. Anunobi played 35 minutes and 54 seconds in the whole game, made 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 6 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of +5. Anunobi also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency was relatively stable, and he also won a lot of points through various methods. Anunobi also performed well on the defensive end, and he also showed the level that a defensive gate should have. Unfortunately, Anunobi did not get more ball rights and mobile phone opportunities on the offensive end, and he couldn't get more points. On the other hand, Anunobi has worked hard enough, but the performance of other players in the team is not ideal, which has also made his efforts vain.

In the NBA regular season this season, Anunobi played 74 games in 82 games, averaging 36.6 minutes per game, averaging 18 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81%. In the playoffs, Anunobi averaged 39.8 minutes in the first 13 games, with averaging 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 40.5%, three-point shooting percentage 35.1%, and 85% free throw shooting percentage.

Anunobi's performance during the playoffs was actually not ideal. Although his performance on the defensive end is certainly worthy of recognition, he also showed good personal defensive ability. However, on the offensive end, Anunobi's performance and regular season performance declined greatly. His offensive efficiency was not ideal, and his scoring also decreased with the increase in playing time. Anunobi himself is a player with excellent abilities, and he is definitely not just an ordinary role player or an ordinary 3D forward player. If Anunobi can maintain this touch in the next game, if he can have a higher tactical position, maybe the Knicks still have a chance in this round of the series?
