Reduce the number of shots! The Knicks forward player has outstanding value in other aspects?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G6, the New York Knicks, who returned to their home court, defeated the Boston Celtics 119-91. After this game, the Knicks locked the total score of the series at 4-2 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. They will compete with the Indiana Pacers for a place in the finals; while the defending champion Celtics were somewhat unexpectedly eliminated in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the performance of the Knicks' starting lineman Josh Hart is still very stable. Hart played 32 minutes and 58 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws, and scored a triple-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +24. Hart did not make too many shots on the offensive end, and his score was relatively limited. However, Hart's role on the court is also very outstanding. He played a decisive role in passing and organizing offense, and he also helped the team play a smooth offense. Hart's performance in rebounding protection is also worthy of recognition, and he can also play a very good role on the defensive end. Overall, Hart has also played his value on both offense and defense, and he has also made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hart played 77 games in 82 games, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Hart averaged 37 minutes in his first 12 games, with averaging 13.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 47.8%, three-point shooting percentage 41.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 76.2%.

Although the Knicks played a singular song all the way during the playoffs, Hart's performance during the playoffs actually declined to a certain extent than during the regular season, his offensive efficiency was not so ideal, and some of his data also declined. Hart wanted to get more points in some games, but the result was contrary to his wishes. In fact, the Knicks are not without scorers, and the Knicks also need Hart to provide support to the team in other aspects. For example, in this game, Hart's scoring data was not ideal, but he played a decisive role in other aspects, which is also an important factor in the team's ability to win. Perhaps in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks should have arranged Hart's role on the court more reasonably?
