This year's NBA Finals are a showdown between small ball markets. Although the star taste is not enough, the field is extremely exciting. The Pacers are a model of dark horses' counterattack. They were not optimistic since the first round, but in the end they counterattacked one round after another and entered the finals stage. The finals were considered one-sided, but the Pacers were all soldiers, one win and one reverse, and now they are 2-1 ahead of the Thunder. Harry, you are too strong. After three finals, you overtook SGA and set the first record in the NBA in 1979. There is only one superstar on the finals stage, that is Alexander. In terms of strength and achievements, Alexander is the only one, because he won the regular season MVP trophy, the scoring champion, and was selected for the NBA All-Squad for three consecutive seasons. On the other hand, Halliburton and Siakam are both ordinary All-Stars and have never been players at the first-class level, let alone honors such as scoring champions and MVPs.

Alexander's performance in the finals was indeed good. In three games, Alexander averaged 39 minutes per game, scoring gorgeous data of 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He also maintained a shooting percentage of 47.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.5%. He can be regarded as an offense and defense combination, and is very efficient. However, facing the Pacers' team playing style, the Thunder are extremely passive. The stadium commander of the Pacers is undoubtedly Halliburton, he is not a league superstar and has not even entered the All-Star this year. However, Halliburton has first-class organizational skills and has a big heart at critical moments. In the finals G1, Halliburton made 6 of 13 shots in the game, scoring a comprehensive data of 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and at the last moment he was a final shot. In the finals G2, Halliburton made 7 of 13 shots, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. In the finals G3, Halliburton made 9 of 17 shots and handed in a quasi-double report with 22 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists.

It is worth mentioning that Halliburton did not get a single free throw in three games, and he became the only player in the history of the finals who failed to score 50+ points in three games. It has to be said that Halliburton is different from other superstars. Even if he does not rely on free throws and kills, he still has the ability to score, can still organize teams and score key goals.

After leading the Pacers to lead the Thunder 2-1 in the finals, Halliburton averaged 17.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists per game in the finals. He also surpassed Alexander on the FMVP list and became the first place. He is currently the most promising player to win the FMVP.
