Haliburton's two strokes of genius were like drawing circles on the basketball court with a magic wand, and with a slight wave, they actually brought miracles. But this time, it's not just 2 points and free throws, this is the romance of the basketball world, and it is the swan song in the eyes of tens of millions of fans!
Let's start with that rice god, Chris Middleton. For him, the game was almost like a movie, and his cold-blooded three-point shots, especially in overtime, were a lesson for opponents: how to find hope in despair. Every ball is like a fate, and the moment it is thrown, the cheers of the fans and the loss of the opponent have been foreseen. Mishen's hand felt so good that it exploded, and after the whole game, he threw 16 balls into it, and threw 4 of 9 from beyond the three-point line, scoring a total of 42 points. Oh, and those 9 rebounds and 5 assists, such a statistic is rare in the history of the Bucks.
However, the story on the basketball court is always full of twists. Just when Mishen thought he had finished the game with his supergod performance, Haliburton stepped up. No, it's the same Haliburton who brought hope to the Indiana Pacers. He's not just a passer, he's a savior. In the last 1.6 seconds of the game, Harry made a feint, shook two defenders, made a mid-range jumper, the ball went into the net, and also caused a foul, completing the 2+1, the final game. This goal made everyone remember Haliburton's name. In the third game of the playoffs, Haliburton dished out a total of 36 assists, which is also the top three performances in playoff history.
And this game is a fierce showdown. The players on both sides come and go, and almost every attack can be exchanged for the screams of the crowd. Haliburton played 46 minutes throughout the game, shooting 8-of-22 and 1-of-12 from three-point range. Not only did he score 18 points, but he also had 10 rebounds and 16 assists.
Do you feel the tension and the smell of gunpowder on the court? That's the charm of basketball. Every touch, every shot, can change the course of the game. And the battle between Haliburton and Rice God is like an epic battle, which makes people's blood boil.
Speaking after the game, Haliburton said of his winner: "I just wanted to throw the ball and I told everybody, 'Give me the ball and let's win the game'. This confidence and calmness is the impression that Haliburton gives to everyone. And this game, not just a victory for Haliburton, but also a victory for the Indiana Pacers, a victory for all those who believe in miracles.
Of course, in addition to these exciting moments, there was also a battle of technique and tactics. Every round, every set-up, reflects the wisdom of the coach and the execution of the players.
