8 points in the game! Halliburton was super abnormal! From 32+15 to the whole game, I scored 2 goals, don t praise you anymore

On May 30, between life and death, the New York Knicks guarded their home court, and the Eastern Conference Finals scored 2:3, and they still have hope of a miracle turnaround. After Halliburton's explosion, he finally got a malfunction for the first time, and his entire sleepwalking magic was gone.

Knicks played against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Final G5, and the Knicks finally defended their home court. Brunson scored 30 points in three quarters, and Carl Anthony Towns 19+11 in three quarters. The two of them led the team to play the opponent in the first three quarters. The Pacers also reflected a big problem with them. Leader Halliburton is indeed not stable enough, and after facing a playoff-level defensive beating. He still failed to lead the team to win.

Halliburton's performance in the last game was really good. He had a big triple-double with 30 plus and had no mistakes in 15 assists. After the game, a large number of media have called him a historical superstar, because no one has done this data before, no matter who you ask him to come.

But we say that if Halliburton can maintain such performance, then no one else can play. He is the first player in this league, undoubtedly the strongest super giant, and this kind of performance is difficult to continue. After G4 was super gods, he is now in a downturn in G5. Halliburton didn't even score a sports game in the first half. After the three quarters, he only scored 1 sports game goal in total, with only 6 points and 5 assists. In the end, he completed another layup in the fourth quarter and scored only 8 points in the whole game. In the key game, he scored 8 points and 6 assists. Although he did not make any mistakes, this was completely different from the performance in the previous game. He was also sending a signal that Halliburton had another problem away from the top superstars at the signature level in the league - lack of stability. The strength is already very strong, but it is still not stable enough to maintain the output of 48 minutes.

Of course, the surprise of magic is that you cannot predict when it will appear suddenly, and you don’t know when Halliburton will explode. A historically-level super giant is to maintain the same level of performance while others target you throughout the whole process, rather than only scoring one goal in three quarters.

Another point is that a superstar at the historical level must have excellent adjustment ability. It doesn’t matter if he scores 0 or 4 points in the half. As long as he can play in a good state and performance at the end of the game, it is enough. You must be able to adjust when you enter the trough, which is also very important.

As of now, Halliburton does need to continue to make progress and improve at these 2 points. If a player of his level wants to evolve into a star who leads the team to win the championship, especially when facing a top team like the Thunder that he may encounter in the finals, he must at least match Alexander. After all, the opponent is the MVP of this season. The Pacers' role players are already very powerful, and the ceiling depends on how strong Halliburton is.
