The Pacers scored more than double digits in six players in this game, blocking the Bucks' late comeback 123-115 to take a 2-0 lead in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, with Haliburton contributing 21 points and 12 assists.
Haliburton topped the "Most Overrated Player in the League" poll on The Athletic with 14 percent of the vote, followed by Timberwolves center Gobert with 10 percent and the HawksTrae YoungRanked 3rd with 8.9%.
Haliburton pointed out after the game that he was not affected by the voting results, "I don't have any comment, but I should have done something right to get this result, all I care about is our team and winning, and then we go to Milwaukee to win the series, I have a lot of confidence in myself, and I don't worry about what other people think, my teammates, coaches, management trust me, I don't care at all." “
Compared with Haliburton's calmness, Pacers coach Carlisle was upset about his children after the game, saying that he wanted to see "who voted", and even angrily criticized the vote as "nonsense".
A total of 90 players voted anonymously in the election, and Carlisle noted that in addition to Haliburton, who was voted the most overrated player, Antetokounmpo (2.2 percent of the vote) and Butler (5.5 percent) were also on the list, "I really want to see who those votes are." ”
Carlisle pointed out that not everyone was voting in this survey, "The whole vote is, it's a shameful thing, and if Butler had gone to the Warriors a month and a half earlier, he might have made the runoff list for MVP of the year, and Giannis (who was also on the list), are you kidding me?" ”
