The MVP reservation for the Eastern Conference Finals? How strong is Halliburton in this playoffs?

Eastern Conference Final G4, Pacers defeated the Knicks 130-121.

First of all, we must sigh that this year's Eastern Conference Finals are really good. None of the four games that have ended so far have a score difference of more than 10 points. The G1 Pacers fell behind by 17 points in the last quarter and the G3 Knicks responded to a big reversal of 20 points behind, so no matter what the game is like, these two teams should not be taken lightly.

The same is true for G4 in this game. The two teams played back and forth in the first half. In the second half, the Pacers opened the gap and led by up to 15 points in the fourth quarter. Then the Knicks narrowed the gap to 6 points before the last 4 minutes. It was not that easy to reverse again. In the end, Sika, Harry and even Toppin stood up. The Knicks suffered another defeat, and the score reached 3-1.

There is no doubt that Halliburton is the greatest contributor to this Pacers.

In the whole game, Halliburton played a total of 37 minutes and 32 seconds, made 12 shots, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals, and there was no mistake. What is the roughly concept of

? Halliburton is the first player in NBA history to score a triple-double of 30+10+15 in the playoffs without a single turnover. Even if the data is reduced to 30+10+10+0 turnovers, only Byron Davis in 2007 has completed it once.

In the first quarter, Halliburton made 3 of 3 three-pointers, scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. This is almost the data of an excellent player in a game in the playoffs. At the end of the half, Halliburton had scored 20 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, and a correct triple-double;

, Halliburton contributed another 8 points, 4 assists in a single quarter, and he also sent 3 steals in this quarter, and two of them were cut on Brunson. He is the key to the Pacers' ability to establish a lead in the second half;

In the fourth quarter, Halliburton's presence declined, but he is still the one that cannot be ignored. In the last 46 seconds, it was Halliburton who grabbed the Knicks' defensive mistake and tied the baseline serving, and the latter three-pointer killed the game.

It may be a bit exaggerating to say that Halliburton made the Knicks in this game, but judging from the data, Halliburton is really perfect in terms of passes, steals, and mistakes.

A comparison is that Halliburton alone had 15 assists, 4 steals and 0 mistakes in this game, while the Knicks had 17 assists, 7 steals and 17 mistakes in total. Among them, the five donkeys had 15 mistakes in total. The gap is clear at a glance.

Halliburton has slapped many people in the face since this year's playoffs.

As of now, Halliburton averaged 19.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.7%/33.6%/80.0% in three games, and a real shooting percentage of 58.6%.

score is not high, but the assists are the first in the league outage (second Harden 9.1 times), and as Haliburton has done over the past years, he has extremely strong control turnover ability, averaging only 1.9 turnovers per game, and the assist-turnover ratio reaches an exaggerated 5.07.

Importantly, Halliburton is really reliable at a critical moment. This year, the Pacers have completed three major reversals of 7 points behind in the last 50 seconds. The final outcome of these three games is:

- G5 against the Bucks in the first round, Halliburton made a layup and won the Cavaliers in the second round, Halliburton scored 1 of 10 three-pointers, and Halliburton scored 1 of 15 points in the Eastern Conference Finals.

But since the match against the Cavaliers G5, Halliburton began to go wild. In that game, Halliburton made 10 of 15 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, leading the team to advance to the Eastern Conference Final 4-1.

The next is the Eastern Conference Finals. After four games, Halliburton's data is:

-G1, 31 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steals, 2 turnovers

-G2, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnovers

-G3, 20 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 3 turnovers

-G4, 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals, 0 turnovers

Average of 24.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 11.0 assists, 2.5 steals, and three key balls that are enough to be recorded in the Pacers' history. This performance, recalling that Halliburton was rated as the "most overrated player in the league" at that time, it was really ridiculous.

At this point, let's take a look at Siakam's performance in the East Finals: averaging 25.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.5 turnovers, 54.1% shooting percentage, 50.0% from three-point shooting percentage, and 60.9% real shooting percentage.

Among them, G2 and G4, Siakam scored 39 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 30 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists respectively - although it is a bit early to say it now, who will be the potential MVP of Halliburton or Siakam? Worth some discussion.

Of course, the series has not ended yet, but objectively speaking, judging from the personnel use and tactical adjustments of both coaches, the Pacers are obviously the better side, and the Pacers are really good at playing away games this year. The next game in New York may be witnessed to the Pacers return to the finals after 25 years.
