It was originally a duel between two geniuses! Unexpectedly, the rocket core was invisible, and it became a hurricane between him and him!
In a regular season game in the 2023 NBA, the Rockets and the Pacers had a fierce battle. This match is in the spotlight as people are looking forward to the matchup between Haliburton and Jalen Green, two talented players. However, in the game, the core players of the Rockets performed mediocre and did not play at the level they should have.
In the first quarter, the Pacers showed their league-leading offensive prowess. They hit back-to-back three-pointers from the perimeter, hitting all of their first six three-point shots, forcing the Rockets to call two timeouts early. However, those two timeouts were not able to immediately change the situation on the field. In the final moments of the game, the Rockets' Eason scored a steal and dunk to help the team tie the score.
Heading into the second quarter, the Rockets began to show their strength, quickly overtaking the score and controlling the pace of the game. However, the Pacers didn't give up, and they regained the lead with a 14-4 offensive run led by Haliburton at the start of the second half. Subsequently, the Rockets remained in a catch-up role, but the Pacers' three-point shooting percentage began to decline in the fourth quarter, giving the Rockets a chance.
At a critical moment in the fourth quarter, the Rockets' VanVleet threw in a score to help the team overtake the score. However, Haliburton hit a game-winning three-pointer in the final minute of the game to give the Pacers regain the lead and ultimately win 123-117 over the Rockets.
While people were looking forward to a matchup between Haliburton and Jalen Green, the match turned into a battle between Shin Kyung and Haliburton. Shin Kyung had a great performance with 30 points, 16 rebounds and five assists, while Haliburton also contributed 33 points, six rebounds and 10 assists. Although the game ended disappointing in the Rockets' loss, Shin Kyung and Haliburton's excellent performances still left a deep impression on the fans.
