Pacers backcourt core: The next season will end if we lose, but we are not short of fighting spirit at all

In the previous NBA Finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who returned to home, defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-109. After winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder also rewritten the total score of the series to 3-2 and won the championship point. After this game, Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers' backcourt core, was interviewed, and he also talked about the impact of the team's historical burden of never winning the championship and the help of the current bad situation by constantly turning back in adversity in the playoffs.
When talking about the impact of historical baggage on the team, Halliburton said: What we think now is that if we lose the next game, our entire season will be completely over. We need to fight for home fans, who will surely create that crazy atmosphere in G6. We must treat each game as a tiebreaker, because we have no way out. So what we need to do next is to do our job well, play in the right way, carefully study the previous game videos, and see where we can do better. When the turn of the fight in adversity helped the current bad situation, Halliburton continued: In the past two years, we have staged a good show of reversals many times, and the current plot is like a cycle of fate. Don’t think about the G7 now, for us, G6 is the ultimate battle. From me, each of us has to improve. What our team does not lack the most is that fighting spirit! Whenever there is a desperate situation, there is always someone in our team who can stand up. Now we are going to complete this "win or go home" game at home. Is there anything more ignited than this? I can't wait!
So far, Halliburton has made a total of 21 appearances so far, averaging 35.3 minutes per game, averaging 17.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks, and has 2.4 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage is 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage is 32.4%, and free throw shooting percentage is 82.5%. In the series G5, Halliburton's performance was a disaster. He made 0 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists with only free throws. He also had 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -13.
Halliburton said it well. If the Pacers want to come back to life, they first need to find a way to win the series G6 and bring the series back to Oklahoma City. As for him, his performance in G5 is completely unacceptable. Halliburton, on the other hand, also seemed to have been affected by injuries. I don’t know what Halliburton will perform in the next G6. Can he lead the team to complete the rebound and continue to retain the suspense of the series?
