2019/5/31 The first game of the finals
Tyrannosaurus 118 [win] 109 Warriors, 1:0 Raptors lead in championship game
★Pascal Siakam｜32 points (14 of 17 shots), 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 hot shots
If Kawhi Leonard's playoffs this year are his journey to become a god, then Pascal Siakam is the strongest intern next to the god. On the way to the championship game, Siakam had the offensive performance of the second giant in the first round, and also lost his way against tall and powerful defenders in the second and third rounds, but these were excellent nutrients for his growth, and he also played in the championship series. The first battle broke out.
Facing Leonard, the Warriors also adopted double-teaming tactics. However, Siakam showed patience and ball-handling experience that were not seen in the first two rounds. He not only found various extremely efficient offensive methods, but also helped the team move the ball. His single-quarter explosion of 6-for-6 shooting in the third quarter withstood the Warriors' strongest quarter, allowing the team to maintain the lead into the final period, and also helped the team take the lead in the championship series. He credits his late father for scoring the most points in a playoff game.
"Every time I step on the court, I just want him to be proud of me. It's always been more than just basketball, every night I step on the court with a greater purpose."
Siakam, who is only 25 years old, also left a historical record for himself in this final. His 32 points were the most in a finals debut since Kevin Durant (36) in 2012. Among them, 11 consecutive hits are the only one in 20 years. He is also the third youngest player to score 30-5-5-2 in the final since 1984.
He is the fifth player in history to score 30+ points in a single game in the finals G1 in the first three seasons of his career. The first four are Kareem Aboul-Jabbar, Julius Erving, Hakeem Olajuwan and Tim Duncan. At the same time, he is also the seventh efficiency leader in history to score 30+ points with a shooting percentage of more than 80% in the championship game. The first six are Jabbar, James Worthy, Adrian Dantley, Michael Jordan, Toni Kukoc and Shaquille O'Neal.

2019/4/19 Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference
Tyrannosaurus 98 [Win] 93 Magic
★Pascal Siakam｜30 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 13/20
The Magic today heavily guarded Kawhi Leonard, who turned on God of War mode in the last game, and the opportunity appeared at Siakam's end. Especially when the Magic put on an offensive lineup, he was extremely confident in beating Ross and Fournier in the low post. In addition to the high efficiency of 3-for-4 shooting from the three-point line, the low-post turning throw is a unique skill that allows him to take advantage of his superior skills.
Siakam is the first player in the history of the Raptors playoff team to score 30 points and 10 rebounds since Chris Bosh. The destructive power of the half-court offense has become the second brother of the team. The Raptors have two big offensive forwards, which will make Magic coach Clifford very difficult to decide on the offensive team (Ross) or the defensive team (Issac).
