Calm down and think about it:
In NBA history, I am afraid I can't find a second player like Haliburton.
I've been watching the game for a long time, but there's really no precedent like that.
Always say two sentences: First, the playoffs are the stage for superstars. Second, the key ball looks at the superstar.
Then I ask you:Is Haliburton a superstar?
Many people will say no.
There are many reasons for this.
One is that he hasn't been able to get it easy, and the MVP of this year's East Finals didn't give him (one vote short).
Although there will be players who have won the MVP but have not achieved anything, they have not played in the division finals. But it has to be said that most of the time, awards are an important indicator of a star's level.
The second is that Harry's stability is not enough, he can explode 30+ triple-doubles, but he will also play a single 4-point and 8-point performance in the playoffs. In terms of overall offensive level, he is still not good enough.
The third is popularity.
What is his full name? I'm afraid there aren't many people who can tell Tyrese Haliburton.
In terms of traffic and brand value, he is far from Supergiant, can you see anyone wearing his jersey on the street and on the field? It is not excluded that there is, and that is also rare.
But what makes him unique?
Haliburton has done nothing that any of the superstars (retired or active) have done in this year's playoffs...
There aren't many memorable moments in a successful player's career.
Even if you are a star, it can be regarded as a shock to the past and the present in a playoff game, and many years later, when everyone mentions him, they can think of that picture.
It's enough to have such a hair in a lifetime.
However, friends, Comrade Haliburton of the Pacers, in this year's four sets of playoffs, came four shots and were different opponents.
Haven't you forgotten it?
In the first round, G5 made a layup to beat the Bucks and sent the letter home;
In the second round of G2, self-punishment and self-robbery completed the "1+3" lore knight;
G1 stepped on the line to tie the Knicks and won in overtime, if it was a three-pointer, it would be even more magical;
Then, yesterday's thunder became the soul of the knife.
If you want to win the NBA championship, you need to win four series.Haliburton has had a draw or kill in every group, is this the only one in the history of the league?
At least for as long as I can remember, yes.
If the first time is luck, the second time is luck, and the third time is luck, then it's the fourth time, is it still luck?
A player who is not known for his offensive ability, a player who averages 18 points per game, in a season of playoffs, has made 4 posters that can blow for a lifetime, for us fans, it is indeed a knife in the ass - an eye-opener.
Regardless of the outcome of the Grand Final, Haliburton deserves to be remembered.
It doesn't have to be pulled up to Harden to say a few words, Haliburton's big heart is simply the reverse Harden.
Deng's key ball in the playoffs was hard a few times, and his fans and friends didn't have to talk about "judgment shots" all day long, so that many people forgot that it was just the regular season...
Can you say that Haliburton is better than Harden? I would also say no.
But the key ball level...In this playoffs, Haliburton has already shot 6-of-7 in the final 90 seconds of the game (including the fourth quarter and overtime), shooting 6-of-7, a shooting rate of more than 85.7%.
So far this season's playoffs, Haliburton has made three rebounding shots with less than five seconds left in the game, and he is the first player in NBA history to achieve this statistic in a single season playoffs.
An athlete whose shooting movements are not standard, and even somewhat disjointed, "amateurish", is what he does.
If he had played for teams in Los Angeles and New York, he would have been blown up a long time ago.
The temperament of a team is often determined by your boss.
I am convinced of this sentence.
Haliburton was so confident as the leader that the Pacers didn't hold back.
Yesterday's reversal gave us the feeling that at a critical moment, everyone in Indiana dared to carry explosive bags to blow up OKC's bunker.
This lore victory rewards their hard work, teamwork, and self-confidence.
The Pacers became the first team in NBA history to win the Finals with 16 more turnovers in a single game.
The first team to win the Grand Final with a full-court lead of less than 30 seconds.
The fifth playoff game this season that ended up coming back from a 15+ point deficit in a single game, and they were the first team in the NBA league to do so since 1998.
So far in the playoffs this season, the Pacers have a 5-3 record when trailing by 15+ points in a single game.
...
How?
Everything that seems magical, incredible, and unbelievable to us can be summed up in one word: magic.
Haliburton has magic.
Today is the day when the college entrance examination kicks off.
As soon as yesterday after the lore, Harry's Chinese social media was updated. Although this is the team's operational behavior, people at least have a heart.
One of the main reasons why I wrote this post is that I hope that college entrance examination students can be as confident as Haliburton and be blessed with magic.
Finally, Brother Di, an old man who has taken the college entrance examination, will not repeat the so-called blessings, and he will not be able to write college entrance examination essays like last year.
Let's talk a few words to my brothers, after all, we often talk about things outside of basketball.
It's not preaching, it's feeling. If you think it's right, absorb it, and if you don't recognize it, I'll be nonsense.(After all, my predictions are always wrong, and I have been "whipped" by you...) )
1. The college entrance examination will determine which city you go to, but it will not determine who you become.
Second, it is just an exam, and it can't measure the depth of your soul.
3. After work, you will find that the adult world is not only ABCD, but also the most difficult question of life.
Fourth, after graduation, don't ignore the significance of knowledge that seems to never be used. Albert Einstein seems to have said something similar:
"When a person forgets everything he has learned in school, what remains is true knowledge and wisdom."
So, to the brothers and sisters who are taking the college entrance examination:Travel light, it's okay!
