The regular season won t get much playing time, but the Pacers substitute center gained trust in the Eastern Conference Finals

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks who played at home 114-108 again. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 2-0. Next, they will return to home court to continue fighting. It seems that they have already gained an absolute advantage and initiative in this round of series, as they have won two consecutive away games.

In this game, Tony Bradley, the Pacers' substitute inside player, had no chance to enter the rotation. Bradley played 8 minutes and 06 seconds in the whole game, but did not complete one shot during this period, made 1 of 2 free throws, scored 1 point and 2 rebounds, and had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +1. Bradley did not make much contribution on the offensive end, he did not have any scoring ability, nor did he have any offensive threats. Bradley's performance on the defensive end is pretty good, and he can also stabilize the team's inside. Bradley's performance and data do not seem particularly eye-catching, but his effect on the court is still relatively stable. His performance is better than another substitute center Thomas Bryant, who also gained enough playing time for the team's starting center Myles Turner.

In the NBA regular season this season, Bradley played 14 games in total, with an average of 8.1 minutes per game, averaging 4.4 points, 3 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 0.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 64.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 33.3%. In the playoffs, Bradley played 5 games in the first 12 games, averaging only 4.8 minutes per game, averaging 0.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 turnovers and 0.2 fouls, with 0% shooting percentage and 50% free throw percentage.

Bradley only joined the Pacers in March this year. The Pacers have a serious shortage of inside staff, and they chose to sign Bradley in order to add an insurance policy to the team. After joining the team, Bradley's playing time is very limited. He has no chance to enter the rotation lineup in most games, and his performance is not particularly outstanding. In the playoffs, Bradley was not able to get the chance to enter the rotation lineup, and his data was also very bleak. However, such a player was able to get a chance to play in the G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which is enough to show the courage of Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and his trust in the players. Facts also prove that Carlisle's bold use of people has also made great contributions to the team's victory.
