NBA playoffs are a league dominated by superstars, and the quality of superstars determines the team's upper limit; NBA playoffs are also a stage for role players to shine, and only when surprises emerge can go further. In this year's playoffs, the Pacers and the Thunder met in the finals. The two teams are known for their many soldiers and wide range of players. The Thunder's players such as Dortmund, Caruso, Wiggins, Wallace have made indelible contributions. The Pacers can play more people, and Nesmith, Nemhard, Mathering, Toppin, Shepard, McConaughey, Bryant and others can play the role of microwaves when they come on the court. Today, let’s focus on the magical boy McConaughey.
McConaughey is an unfortunate lucky man, with a dream of basketball, but he has thorns all the way! Turning time back to the 2015 draft, McConaughey lost the election without any suspense. His height of 185cm and his 19cm small hand were not enough to make him catch the attention of the NBA team. Fortunately, the 76ers who were in the bad mood gave McConaughey a four-year contract of $3.5 million, realizing McConaughey's dream of winning. This contract is McConaughey's grasp. What really makes him gain a foothold in the NBA is his hard work and hard work, and it is hard and competitive enough, which also makes his NBA career wider and wider.
In the summer of 2019, the Pacers brought McConaughey to Indiana with a two-year, $7 million contract. McConaughey took one step at a time and played the role of a bench bandit; in the summer of 2021, the Pacers renewed McConaughey for 35.2 million in four years, and McConaughey did not disappoint the Pacers and made great achievements in the Eastern Conference Finals; in the summer of 2024, the Pacers gave McConaughey a four-year, $45 million contract to encourage him, but what about McConaughey? The bigger the contract, the greater the responsibility, and the more surprises it creates, worthy of every penny he gets.
This year's regular season, McConaughey played 79 games for the Pacers, averaging 17.9 minutes per game, and averaged 9.1 points + 2.4 rebounds + 4.4 assists + 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 51.9%. Currently, the Pacers lead the Thunder 2-1 in the finals, and the situation is very good, and McConaughey's performance is also remarkable. In the 19 games of the playoffs, McConaughey averaged 16.3 minutes per game, averaged 8.6 points + 2.9 rebounds + 4.1 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53.5%. Among them, in the final round, McConaughey scored 18 points + 3 rebounds + 3 assists; in the second round, G4, McConaughey contributed 13 points + 8 assists; in the first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals, McConaughey scored 10 points, 10 points and 12 points respectively; in the finals, G3, McConaughey scored 10 points + 5 assists + 5 steals, becoming the first player in NBA history to score at least 10 points, 5 assists and 5 steals in the finals substitute, unprecedented!
McConaughey dared to fight and won a lot of money. As an opponent, Alexander admitted that McConaughey's steals and assists were too hurtful for our morale; as a teammate, Halliburton said bluntly: McConaughey's performance is of great significance, and his story is even more incredible; as a mentor, Pacers coach Carlisle pointed out incisively: McConaughey's performance is incredible, and we need these specialties; as a bystander, the US media sighed: McConaughey was like Delavidova next to James back then. This is McConaughey. His small figure contains endless fighting spirit, and his combat power is amazing, so fragrant! Perhaps, this is why the Pacers gave him a four-year, $45 million contract last summer. I look forward to McConaughey continuing to work hard, fighting for the championship, and writing extraordinary. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
