Halliburton studies Curry s video preparation and the fierce G3 of the Thunder: Drawing inspiration from the Warriors superstars...

The teaching material that Stephen Curry can provide for young NBA players—whether direct guidance or indirect learning—is too rich. The four-time champion has experienced all the defensive tests and has fought against various defensive strategies, but even at the age of 37, it is still difficult for each team to limit the performance of the Warriors superstar.

According to Chris Mannicks, Indiana Pacers point guard Tyres Halliburton specially prepared for another hand-to-hand battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder before the G3 of the Finals.

"After fighting the Thunder's defense system and constantly dealing with wheel battle defense, Halliburton turned on his laptop and studied a master who knew it well. "Mannicks wrote, "There are very few players in NBA history who are as proficient in cracking high-intensity defense as Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who led the Golden State to win four championships... The legend continues. "

"Earlier this week, Halliburton trainer Drew Hanlun sent a video file containing Curry's 10-year playoff goal, which recorded Curry's highlights from San Antonio to Houston, Cleveland to Boston. A generation of shooters were inspired by Curry, and Halliburton, who was in his first finals in his career, might benefit from it. "

How effective? Halliburton, who scored a quasi-triple double-double, gave the answer: 9 of 17 shots (4 of 8 three-pointers) contributed 22 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Pacers to win 116-107. The Pacers are currently leading the seven-game four-win series 2-1, only two wins away from the team's first championship in history.

Curry is an expert in how to end his opponent in the finals. Perhaps, Halliburton should really continue to steal a few moves from the epoch-making shooter's tactical manual.
