The performance on both offense and defense is not ideal. The Thunder s backcourt star will not play in the finals?

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. Next, both sides will return to Oklahoma City and have a brutal tiebreak battle, which will also determine the final ownership of the championship this season.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's substitute backcourt star Cason Wallace is obviously not ideal. Wallace played 13 minutes and 57 seconds in the game, made 1 of 4 shots and 0 of 1 from outside the three-point line, scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, and had 2 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -3. Wallace's performance on the offensive end was not ideal, his offensive efficiency was very average, and he did not show his performance in passing and organizing offense. In addition, his performance on the defensive end is not ideal, and he cannot play the strength he deserves as an outside gate. Overall, Wallace's performance in this game can be said to be unable to attack or defend, and he did not have enough positive impact on the team at all. It is also because of his poor performance that Wallace's playing time is very limited, and he has not received the full trust of the team's coaching staff.

In the NBA regular season this season, Wallace played a total of 68 games in 82 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.1%. In the playoffs, Wallace averaged 22.3 minutes in the first 22 games, with averaging 5.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 41.6%, three-point shooting percentage 30.5%, and free throw shooting percentage 66.7%.

Wallace's performance on the defensive end during the playoffs was actually quite good, but the problem is that Wallace's performance on the offensive end has always been unstable. He has not shown enough competitiveness on the offensive end, and his support to the team on the court is relatively limited. Wallace should have been an all-round backcourt with both offense and defense, but in the playoffs, his overall performance has indeed declined significantly compared to the regular season. Especially in the finals, Wallace seemed to be unable to adapt to such rhythm and intensity at all, and his performance was also very disappointing. I wonder if Wallace will still get the chance to enter the rotation lineup in the next G7?
