In the previous NBA Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, easily defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91. After this game, the Pacers tied the total score of the series to 3-3, and both sides returned to the same starting line again. After this game, the Pacers' substitute point guard TJ McConnell was interviewed by reporters, in which he also talked about his fit with the team, the team's performance and whether he should take on more responsibilities when Tyrese Haliburton was injured.
When talking about fit with the team, McConnell said: I must give my father a thumbs up. He was right, I am indeed not the strongest and fastest player, but no one will work harder than me, and this is the creed that I have always adhered to in my career. Here, I feel the unreserved trust of the management and coaching staff in me, and there are the best fans in the stadium, and I love all this here. Really, the current environment is really perfect for me. It is suitable for my playing style and is beneficial to my career. This sense of happiness is really hard to express in words.
When talking about the team's performance in this game while fighting against the enemy, McConnell said: If we don't try our best tonight, we will be eliminated! Although I am proud of today's victory, our joy can only stay for a moment. Next, the G7, waiting for our series, will be the most critical battle in our career! When asked if I needed to take on more responsibilities due to Halliburton's injury, Halliburton continued: I don't need to change anything, I always focus on doing my job well, I organize the offense on the court and lead my teammates. Even though my playing time has increased, my role remains unchanged.
So far, McConnell has played 22 games in total, averaging 17 minutes per game, averaging 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.9 steals, 1.7 turnovers and 1.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 42.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81.5%. In the series G6, McConnell's performance was still very stable. He made 6 of 12 shots and 0 of 2 free throws in 24 minutes and 10 of 2 free throws, scored comprehensive data of 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, and had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus or negative value of +10. McConnell has performed very well throughout the playoffs, and he has performed very well in scoring and organizing offense. I don’t know what kind of performance McConnell will perform in the next life-and-death battle in G7.
