This year's NBA playoffs can be said to be a year of carnival in the small ball market. Traffic teams such as the Lakers and Warriors were eliminated early, and the Cavaliers, which had 64 wins and the defending champion Celtics, who had 61 wins, were also defeated by the dark horse in the second round. The Pacers in the East are the most surprising team. They will challenge the Bucks led by Antetokounmpo in the first round, face the Cavaliers in the second round, and face the Knicks who defeated the Celtics in the second round, and face the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. But in the end, they broke through layer by layer, and they all said that you are the most overvalued. Now they average 21 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists per game, leading the team in the finals, 260 million is not expensive.
Speaking of the Pacers, the boss of this team has always been Halliburton. The team exchanged Sabonis Jr. for Halliburton, and showed strong strength in the first year. In the 22-23 season, Halliburton became famous in one game, averaging 20.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists per game, and a 40% three-point shooting percentage. He is a first-class point guard who can score and organize and was successfully selected into the All-Star stage.
The team then traded Siakam, and Halliburton also delivered explosive data per game of 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 10.9 assists last season. While being selected as the All-Star, he was also crowned the league's assist king. The Pacers also made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and Halliburton is considered a super point guard.
However, in this year's regular season, Halliburton's performance was ups and downs. He played 73 games and averaged 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. The data shrank completely compared to the previous two years, especially his performance in the first half of the season, so he did not even make the All-Stars. Although he recovered his form in the second half of the year and the Pacers also scored 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference, Halliburton was still selected by the media as the "most overrated player" of the season.
But after entering the playoffs, Halliburton slapped the questioners again and again. In the first round, he led the team to beat the Bucks 4-1, and Halliburton staged an overly difficult breakthrough and final victory. In the second round, he led the team to defeat the Cavaliers 4-1, and Halliburton also had a magical three-pointer of 1+3. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton led the team to reverse 20 points behind, and scored a buzzer-beating tie at the last moment. Halliburton is definitely the key player to the team's finals. After 6 games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton also proved his ability to fight tough battles. His gorgeous data per game, which is 21 points, 6 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 2.5 steals, is the team's engine, and the offense and defense ends are also very stable. Halliburton made an indelible contribution to the Pacers' ability to enter the finals. When he won a five-year, $260 million contract, the outside world said that Halliburton was not worth the price, but as he fought, Halliburton turned the contract to a bargain price. Last year's Eastern Conference Finals and this year's finals, there is even a chance to win the championship.
