So what if the Cavaliers have two towers? The Pacers inside pillars shoulder the defensive burden with their own strength?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers who played at home 114-105. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of this round of series to 4-1, successfully advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years; while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, unexpectedly failed to defeat this round of series and defeated their opponents.

In this game, the Pacers' starting center Myles Turner also maintained a high level. Turner played 33 minutes and 14 seconds in the game, made 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +12. Turner did not get too many ball rights and shots as support on the offensive end, which also led to him not getting too many points. But in the last quarter of the game, Turner also scored 7 points through various methods, and he also helped the team stabilize the situation. The most important thing is that Turner can be said to be relying on his own ability to support the team's inside defense. Facing the Cavaliers' double tower combination, Turner was not afraid and showed a pretty good basket protection ability. Overall, although Turner's data doesn't seem outstanding, his actual role on the court and his influence on the game are seriously underestimated.

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 31 minutes in the first 10 games, with averaging 16.5 points, 6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.5 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. He shot 50.9% from the field, 45% from three-point shooting percentage and 80.4% from free throws. Turner's performance during the playoffs was really eye-catching. Not only did he maintain stable efficiency and excellent outside shooting percentage on the offensive end, but he also performed very strongly on the defensive end. Compared with the regular season, facing stronger opponents and more severe tests, Turner's various data has been further improved, which also shows that he is a player who can play tough battles. In this way, Turner is really a seriously underrated player. Before, everyone thought that his ability was sloppy, and he did not have enough ability to support the team's inside banner. However, judging from the current situation, Turner is a completely versatile player with both offense and defense. His importance to the team is really outstanding.
