The defensive performance is still excellent, and the contribution of the Knicks wing gate on the offensive end has also improved?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G5, the New York Knicks, who played at home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 111-94, completing the Jedi victory. Next, both sides will return to the Indianapolis series G6 game. The Pacers still hold the match point, while the Knicks are still facing a back-to-back battle in G6, and they are still on the verge of being eliminated.

In this game, Mikal Bridges' performance at the Knicks' starting wing gate was actually quite good. Bridges played 33 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, made 6 of 12 shots, and 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. There was also 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +13. Although Bridges has poor shooting skills on the offensive end, he has also shown good scoring ability and has obtained some points when he has not made many shots. Bridges has also shown some passing and organizational talents, and he is also able to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. The most important thing is that Bridges' performance on the defensive end is still very outstanding, and he also posed a huge threat to his opponent. Overall, Bridges performed quite well on the court, and he also made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

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 39.6 minutes in the first 17 games, with averaging 15.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage 32.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 71.4%.

Bridges' overall performance during the playoffs was actually not ideal. His scoring ability was very average. His shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage had a significant decline compared to the regular season stage. His performance in passing and organization also declined a lot. Bridges put more energy on the defensive end, which also made him somewhat struggling to perform on the offensive end. In this game, although Bridges' performance outside the three-point line was still not ideal and his score was not too many, his performance in passing and supporting also improved significantly. He maintained extremely high competitiveness on the defensive end, which is an important factor in the Knicks' victory. I don’t know if Bridges can perform better in the next life-and-death battle.
