In fact, the overall performance is pretty good. Are the Pacers backcourt stars worth more mobile phones?

In the previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G3, the New York Knicks completed a big reversal in the final quarter after a hard battle, defeating the Indiana Pacers who played at home 106-100. After this game, the Knicks also tied the total score of the series to 1-2, and it seems that there is still a lot of suspense in this round of series.

In this game, the Pacers' substitute backcourt star Ben Sheppard actually performed well. Shepard played 17 minutes and 08 seconds in the whole game, made 1 of 1 shot and 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and had 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +1. Shepard hit a three-pointer on the offensive end, which can be regarded as providing some support to the team. Shepard actually performed well on the defensive end, and his personal defensive ability is worthy of recognition. However, Shepard's attempts on the court are indeed less, and his tactical status is obviously limited. In this case, it is indeed difficult for him to realize his greater potential. Of course, considering that Shepard's playing time and tactical position are there, it is not a bad performance that he can perform like this and provide certain support to the team on the court.

In the NBA regular season this season, Shepard played a total of 63 games in 82 games, averaging 19.5 minutes per game, averaging 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 88.9%. In the playoffs, Shepard played 11 games in the first 13 games, averaging 12.8 minutes per game, averaging 3.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.3 steals, 0.5 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

Shepard's personal ability is still relatively average. His performance in the regular season is actually not particularly outstanding, and his playing time is not too much. However, in the playoffs, Shepard was able to play his role in some games. His shooting percentage and his three-point shooting percentage were also stable at a good level, and his role on the court was also quite obvious. For the Pacers, since Shepard's performance is pretty good, since he feels relatively stable, and since he can get enough trust and appear in the rotation lineup, he should also get more shots on the court. I don’t know that in the next game, he will be able to get more opportunities and provide more support to the team.
