Pacers Backcourt: The Finals were a crazy experience, this is the best atmosphere I have ever experienced

NBA Finals G2 is about to begin. After daily training, Indiana Pacers backcourt general Andrew Nembhard was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about his feelings about participating in the finals. In addition, Oklahoma City Thunder's backcourt star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also talked about Nemhard's situation in an interview.

When talking about how I felt when participating in the finals, Nemhard said: From the moment I stepped onto the finals, I knew that this was the moment a player pursued throughout his life, and it was definitely a very crazy experience. The sound created by the audience was so shocking, and it was the best competition atmosphere I have ever experienced in my career. When the initial tension gradually fades, all that remains is pure fun about basketball. The Thunder's backcourt core Alexander also talked about the Canadian teammate Nemhard who he faced in the finals in the interview. He commented: There is no doubt that Nemhard is definitely a winner. He is able to play in the right way, both offensively and defensively. Nemhard is a true contender, a natural winner, and a very good player, and his performance during the playoffs is also a testament to this.

In the NBA regular season this season, Nemhard made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.9 minutes per game, averaging 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.4%. In the playoffs, Nemhard averaged 33.2 minutes in his first 16 games, with averaging 12.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 46.6%, three-point shooting percentage 47%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.8%.

Nemhard's performance during the playoffs was amazing, with excellent personal defensive abilities on the defensive end and able to effectively limit the core characters of his opponents. Not only that, Nemhard also has a stable output on the offensive end. The Pacers' ability to pass the hurdles and reach the finals is also closely related to his outstanding performance. In the finals G1, Nemhard's performance was still very stable. He had a strong performance on the defensive end, and he had a big heart at the critical moment and hit a key three-pointer. I don’t know if Nemhard can maintain this level in the next G2.
