It doesn’t matter if the touch is not good! The Pacers’ inside pillars show their strong inside defense ability?

In a previous NBA Finals G3 game, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, rebounded strongly, and they defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-107. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of this series to 2-1, regaining the advantage in this series.

In this game, although the Pacers' starting center Myles Turner felt less than ideal on the offensive end, he still showed his value on the defensive end. Turner played 29 minutes and 44 seconds in the game, made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 5 blocks, with a plus-minus value of -8. Turner's offensive efficiency is very average. His scoring ability and shooting ability at the basket are not displayed, and he has not scored enough points. His performance in passing and supporting cannot be considered particularly ideal. In addition, Turner's performance in rebound protection is also unsatisfactory, but he has shown his super ability to protect the basket and defend the inside. Overall, although Turner's condition cannot be considered particularly outstanding, he has also played the role on the court. His outstanding performance on the defensive end has also made a significant contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Turner played 72 games in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.3%. In the playoffs, Turner averaged 30 minutes of playing time in the first 19 games, with averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 50.8%, three-point shooting percentage 38.2%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.9%.

Turner's overall performance during the playoffs was still good. He also maintained a pretty good offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage on the offensive end. He is a reliable scorer and outside pitcher on the offensive end. Not only that, Turner's performance in protecting the basket and defending the inside is also very outstanding. Of course, Turner actually did not have a good effect in rebound protection on the defensive end. But overall, Turner is still very valuable to the team, and his importance in the team is also irreplaceable. In the next game, I don’t know what kind of performance Turner will perform again. Can he continue to perform like this and help the team achieve a greater breakthrough in the next game.
