Scoring 21 points in 21 minutes is the level that the Pacers forward player should have?

Basketball

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, rebounded strongly and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1, winning the match point of this round of series, while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and were far ahead in their record, were in big trouble.

In this game, Pacers' starting line leader Pascal Siakam also had a significant recovery. Siakam played 21 minutes and 01 seconds in the game, made 9 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored the highest score of 21 points and 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal with an incredible shooting rate. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value was also low to the highest +29 in the game. Siakam also showed a very good scoring ability on the offensive end. He also scored a large number of points in various ways, providing a lot of support for the team on the offensive end. He created a lot of threats in the opponent's interior. His stability in mid- and long-distance shooting is also quite outstanding. He also showed some passing and support abilities, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. With not much playing time, being able to perform like this is enough to show how amazing Siakam's dominance is.

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%. In the playoffs, Siakam averaged 31.2 minutes in the first nine games, with averaging 18.6 points, 6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. He shot 57.1% from the field, 44.8% from three-pointers and 66.7% from free throws.

Siakam's overall performance in the playoffs is quite good, and he also has stable offensive efficiency and comprehensive scoring ability. However, in the previous few games of this round of series, Siakam's performance was more or less lukewarm, or he did not show all his talents. Siakam is capable of taking on more responsibilities, and his personal scoring ability is there, so it is difficult for his opponent to threaten him. Facts have proved that if he can play harder, his opponent will not be able to limit his performance. In the next game, if Siakam's performance can continue to be at this level, the Pacers may really have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons?
