At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 14, the Pacers hosted the Timberwolves, although the Pacers once achieved a 10-point lead, but in the end they could not stop the ferocious firepower of the Minnesota soldiers, and finally lost to the Timberwolves 120-129, encountering a wave of 6 consecutive losses. This game Pacers new signing Harry Burton continued the outstanding performance of the last game, in this game 7 of 14 shots, 6 of 12 three-pointers, 22 points, 5 rebounds and 16 assists, this data list seems good, but in the course of the game, 1 meter 96 height Halliburton was tragically blocked by 1 meter 85 Beverley, the two sides were 11 centimeters apart, Halliburton can still be blocked, it is indeed a bit unexpected.
As a tall guard, Halliburton's shooting posture is not stable, and sharp-eyed fans have found that Halliburton has 3 different shooting positions, the first is that when he is in a big vacancy, he basically does not use his legs to jump shots, but relies on his palms and arms to push the ball out, and the second is the kind of shooting space when the shooting space is narrow, in this case, Halliburton will use a very smooth, similar to Curry's one motion shot. The third is when shooting at mid-range, where Halliburton's shooting position becomes a two-stage shot at two-stage motion.
And the reason why today's game was covered by Beverley is because Halliburton used the first way to push out the shooting method, this shooting posture is not high when throwing the ball out, so when meeting some relatively small defensive players, it is easy to be served by the opponent's big hot pot, if Halliburton can not fix his shooting hand, the future to become a top star, it is indeed very difficult.
As the top stars in the NBA at present, such as Curry, Harden, Doncic, etc., can maintain a fixed shooting posture, no matter what the situation, they all have a skill pack that is facing the front of the defender, but now Harry Burton can not fix his shooting posture for each situation, it is difficult to make this kind of forced dry shooting, if he can not break through this bottle, his ceiling is bound to not be too high.
20 years of draft with the first round of the 12th pick into the NBA, height 1 meter 96 Harry Burton has an innate height advantage, which allows him to play misplaced singles in the case of the same position player to easily score points, last season in his rookie year, Halliburton can deliver 13 points, 3 rebounds and 5.3 assists, three-point shooting rate of up to 40.9%, and this season before the transfer of the team, Halliburton continued to improve his data, He averaged 14.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, and improved his three-point shooting percentage to 41.3 percent. In fact, just looking at this data sheet, Hariburton does have a lot of potential to continue to be tapped, but whether he can break through his shooting strength also determines what kind of height he can achieve in the future.
In this regard, Hariburton can indeed ask the Pacers' legendary star Reggie Miller for advice, as one of the greatest pitchers in NBA history, Reggie Miller can definitely guide Harry Burton, if you can find a change in shooting posture, Hariburton's lower limit will definitely be an All-Star player, as for the upper limit is up to him.
