Halliburton choked his neck to celebrate the tribute to Miller. Why did he regret it after the game?

When Halliburton hit the ball on the basket's neck, the hearts of New York fans were just about to fall from their throats. But the ball bounced straight up and everyone held their breath. In less than a second, the ball finally fell straight and crossed the net. Madison Square Garden exclaimed, and the players on the Pacers bench rushed directly to the stadium.

After completing such a magical shot, Halliburton made the classic celebration that paid tribute to Reggie Miller: choke the neck.

Miller made the move in the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals G5, and he scored 39 points in that game and led the Pacers to win. The venue at that time was Madison Square Garden, and the opponent was the Knicks. At this moment, when Harry made this move, Miller was sitting in the commentary seat on the sidelines. He pointed his finger at Harry and responded to his juniors.

"I watched the moment he watched as a kid, and I knew they lost the series in the end, and we didn't want to repeat that scene. But it was an emotional moment. I wanted everyone to see that action, but more to let Reggie Miller see me doing that action." Halliburton said of his celebration move after the game, "I think it's very cool to continue writing my own history, writing the history of our team, and pay tribute to our predecessors. This is obviously a special moment, a moment you will never forget."

Asked how you think In this scene, Pacers coach Carlisle said: "The players do whatever they want. It's an emotional moment, that's no big deal. ...The atmosphere on the scene is there, it's already on this stage, you want the most suffocating and difficult atmosphere, and fight against players like Bronson and Towns. This is the most difficult time of the year, so in my opinion it's no big deal. Halliburton has won the right to make any celebration moves."

But unfortunately, Halliburton's goal did not complete the final victory, and that goal stepped on the line. Although this did not affect the Pacers' overtime win of 138 to 135, it made Harry a little regretful about using this celebration move.

"If I knew that the ball was on the line, I wouldn't have done a choking celebration. I might have wasted this action because if I still do it next time, everyone would say I'm showing off my presence." Halliburton said with a smile.

But even if this is not a final goal, combined with the Pacers' magical reversal method, it will be a classic moment that has been recorded in the history of the NBA.
