In essence, it is still a 3D player! It is difficult for the Knicks wing general to take on more responsibilities?

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.

Although the Knicks lost the game, the team's starting wing Mikal Bridges' performance was actually quite good. Bridges played 32 minutes and 27 seconds in the game, made 6 of 9 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He also had 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -17. Bridges has also won a lot of points in various ways on the offensive end, proving that he has good scoring ability, and he also has certain passing ability and organizational ability. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He is an extremely excellent outside defender. His personal defense ability is very outstanding, his defense is extremely aggressive, and he can also defend against players from multiple positions of his opponent. However, Bridges also made a lot of mistakes on the offensive end. His ability to hold the ball and attack was average, and it was indeed difficult for him to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end.

In this season's NBA regular season, Bridges played all 82 games. During his 37 minutes of playing time, he averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50%, three-point shooting percentage was 35.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 81.4%. In the playoffs, Bridges averaged 39.2 minutes in the first 18 games, with averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 45.6%, three-point shooting percentage 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 75%.

Bridges' overall performance during the playoffs was still good. He was able to assume certain responsibilities on the offensive end, and he also had certain passing ability and support ability. Bridges' performance on the defensive end is even more phenomenal. He is a very excellent defender. His series of performances are also an important factor in the team being able to pass the hurdles and enter the Eastern Conference Finals. The problem is that Bridges is essentially a 3D type wing player, and he still can't take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. Judging from the situation in the Eastern Conference Finals, once other Knicks players are unable to show their strength, Bridges will not be able to make more contributions. Perhaps the Knicks also need to adjust the team's lineup, and they need to find some players with stronger scoring skills.
