The champion s gene awakening! Sika dominates away game with 39 points, and the Pacers advance in sight

Pascal Siakam has always been low-key and taciturn, and is willing to speak with his performance on the court. He conquered the away game with a roaring performance in the tsunami of Madison Square Garden on Friday night's home court in New York Knicks.

When teammate Halliburton failed to score in the first half, the Pacers forward player took over the game early and played his career masterpiece. Siakam won the team's first 11 points, scoring 23 points in the first half, leading the team to another 114-109 with a career-high 39 points in the playoffs, leading the team to another 2-0 in the series.

"I just seize every opportunity," Siakam admitted after the game, "The most valuable thing about our team is that they don't worry about who scores, but only focus on victory. Tonight belongs to me, and tomorrow night may be someone else's outbreak. "

This champion who transferred from the Raptors to Indiana on the deadline of last year's trading, made 15 of 23 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, and 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Whenever the Knicks' home sound is high, he can always use the key ball to destroy his opponent's counterattack.

"This is exactly what it means to bring him in," Haliburton praised, "He can end the offense at any position. In the face of such a devil's away game, every goal he scored is like a heavy punch. "

Despite the 17 alternate leads, the Pacers always control the rhythm with a 14-7 fast break (of which Siakam scored 10 points alone). Coach Carlisle commented: "His sense of smell in offense and defense conversion is master level, and it is unstoppable whether it is a strong kill at the basket, mid-range or three-pointer. "

In addition to Siakam, the Pacers' starting five Tigers scored in double digits, and McConnell, Shepard and others have also made achievements on the bench. The team maintained 25+ assists in seven consecutive playoff games, and in this round of series scored 44-16 points to crush their opponents. Since losing to the Bucks in the first round of G3, they have won six away games, only two wins away from their first finals after 2000 years.

"The real test is still behind," Siakam stays awake, "We must keep a normal mind." Next Monday morning, the series will be moved to the Pacers for the third game at home.
