15 key balls are the first in history, James approaches Curry, creating miracles in the finals
2:44pm, 8 June 2025Basketball
As the highest active backcourt player in the league, Curry is also the best defender in history, but when it comes to key ball fields, due to his height, he still lacks some in this regard compared to the top supercourts of Jordan, Kobe, James and others in this regard.
Even Durant is better than Curry in this regard.
Now, a player has performed magical performances in the playoffs. He said that his idol back then was LeBron James. It was James' extraordinary performance that made him show his perseverance and never give up on the basketball road. This playoff, he has repeatedly created miracles and has approached Curry. At least in the field of key balls, he has already made amazing performances.
data shows that he made 15 key shots in the last two minutes of the season, hitting 13 of them, with a terrifyingly high shooting percentage!
twice missed, one of which was when facing the Celtics barely missed the three-point line, and the other was when he missed a three-point shot with more than 50 seconds left in the overtime of the Eastern Conference Finals. However, his teammates made a make-up hit. In the end, they defeated the Knicks in overtime and finally eliminated their opponents. It is worth mentioning that before that, he stepped on the three-point line and scored a long distance of 2 points to tie the opponent with a buzzer, which allowed the team to reverse 20 points and ushered in the opportunity to overtime. In overtime, he also had a key ball folding layup to help the team overtake his opponent.
One game, and it is a very important Eastern Conference Finals, with two key goals being scored. Only superstars of the peak Jokozan's level have achieved this performance.
One or two, or one or two games, it may be accidental, but 15 key shots in the last 2 minutes of a single season are already a big number, and the shooting rate is so amazing, unheard of in more than 70 years of history!
Yes, he is the most popular "magic" in the league at present - Halliburton
If you think the regular season cannot explain the problem, then look at his key performance in the playoffs. In the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter of the fifth game in the first round, he broke through and dunked to equalize the score. In overtime, he broke through again against Antetokounmpo's defense and won the Bucks, letting Antetokounmpo go home to fish directly. In the second game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, he broke through and took a three-pointer to defeat the Cavaliers, who were the first and 64-win in the Eastern Conference, and won two games away, laying a solid foundation for the team to advance.
tied the Knicks in the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals, and took the key layup in overtime. As I said just now; in the first game of the finals, when the team was behind the whole game and did not lead, he dribbled the ball and made a mid-range jump shot at the last moment to help the team overtake. He only led by 0.3 seconds but won the final victory, creating a miracle.
6 of 7 key goals in the playoffs. As a point guard and a player with few shots, such key ball data is amazing.
Haliburton's key goal is so strong, there are three reasons -
1. Good height
Haliburton's height is 196. As a point guard, this height is very good. He is not as low as ordinary shooting guards or even small forwards.
And as a point guard, he has excellent dribbling skills and a good grasp of the rhythm, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.
2. Comprehensive technology
Halliburton's strongest is not his ball-controlling skills, but his skills are very comprehensive and balanced. Just looking at his performance on key balls, you can know that he is good at whether it is a three-point shooting, a breakthrough at the basket or an emergency stop mid-range jumper, and he can easily grasp it.
is the most difficult player to defend. He can attack no matter where he is, and he can't defend against shots or breakouts, not to mention that he still has a super middle distance.
He can break through with long-distance shots, and he can change the rhythm if he can keep up with the breakthrough. He can either stop in the middle distance in the middle or change the rhythm and get rid of the opponent and break into the basket. At the basket, he can fight against the opponent with various actions to make layups, or even dunk directly, and there is nothing he can't do.
3. Strong psychological quality
In the first round of the playoffs, Halliburton won the opponent to be eliminated. His father was too excited to make moves provoking Antetokounmpo. Halliburton immediately stood up and apologized for his father. The general's style is fully demonstrated. Only people with extremely strong mentality will not be surprised by favors and disgraces, and there is no need to use these small actions to provoke and interfere with the opponent.
There is another detail. He always sends videos to greet Chinese fans and thanks for their support. His super high emotional intelligence and general style have been fully revealed in his words.
Of course, players of his idol LeBron's level also had a great influence on him. He has been determined to be a general soldier since he was a child.
After Halliburton's many finals, the opponent's encirclement and double-teaming of him will increase his strength and investment, especially at critical moments, but they are always afraid that Halliburton will send a wonderful pass to assist his teammates in scoring. In the last moment of the first game of the finals, Caruso did not rush up to block Halliburton, but let him go and retreat to the basket.
After being paid attention to, Halliburton will face more tests and difficulties. Whether he can continue to have super magic attacks is worth looking forward to.
