5-4! Halliburton Bisciakam, what s the difference?

G6 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 125-108 at home, eliminated their opponents 4-2 with a big score, and advanced to the finals.

The result is not surprising, but the momentum is still a bit amazing. The Pacers' offense and defense are completely different from the previous game, giving people the feeling that they "don't want to tie the seventh", especially on the defensive end, the ball pressed all over the game, made 10 steals in the whole game, and made 17 mistakes in the Knicks. The two teams scored 34-13 using the mistakes, which was almost the final difference.

Let's talk about the Knicks first, they are very hard-working, but they are still not enough. The five donkeys in this game:

-Brunson, 19 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 turnovers, 8 of 18 shots, 22 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, 8 of 19 shots, 15 points, 4 assists and 5 turnovers, 9 shots, 6 of 9 shots}——Anunobi, 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 10 of 18 shots - Hart, 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 shots, 1 of 6 shots, Under the Pacers' greater defensive intensity, it became very difficult for Brunson to get a shot or layup space. Not only did he reduce his efficiency a lot, but he also made 5 mistakes. This game is almost the worst game in the series.

Downs once again pulled his injured leg and scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, which is admirable, but objectively speaking, Towns is not very efficient, and he still made 0 of 4 shots outside the three-point line, and on the defensive end, he and Brunson were both points targeted by the Pacers.

The best game should be Anunobi, with 24 points in the game, the highest in the playoffs this year, and there were 2 blocks and 2 steals, including 12 points in the second quarter, which supported the game.

Bridges also played well in the first half, scoring 11 points in the half, but he was a little weak on both ends of the offense and defense in the second half. He had a high efficiency in 6 of 9 of the game, but 5 mistakes were difficult to hide some shortcomings.

The most exciting thing is Hart. He had a very poor touch in the away game. He didn't even hit a box with two three-pointers, and he couldn't defend himself. Hart's enthusiasm was beyond words, but in this game, he really had no sense of existence at all.

Look at this round of series, the Knicks' strength is not bad. If G1 scores an extra free throw, they may still have a tiebreak, but the reality is cruel. They are not matched by the Pacers in G6, and they can only start over to compete for the championship next season.

Let's talk about the Pacers, another team-wide victory.

Before the game entered garbage time, Carlisle used 11 players to rotate, and then the result was that 7 players in the team scored in double digits. In addition to the starting five tigers, Topp scored 18 points and 6 rebounds on the bench, and Topp scored 11 points and 3 rebounds.

We have said before that only looking at the core lineup, the Knicks are no worse than the Pacers, but the coaching level and rotational strength of the two teams are much worse. To a certain extent, this round of the game was also Carlisle's use of people to crush Thibodeau - even though the latter had already made some tricks in the last two games.

The star Halliburton made 9 of 17 shots in the game, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals. Among them, Halliburton only had 10 points in 11 shots, but in the fourth quarter, Halliburton made 5 of 6 shots in a single quarter, scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Every time the Knicks tried to narrow the gap to single digits, Halliburton could always stand up and suppress his opponent.

However, if you want to talk about the hero of the Pacers' winning game, it may still be Siakam. He scored 26 points in three quarters, made 10 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 11 free throws. He once again efficiently scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, with the highest positive and negative value +25 in the team. He played superstar level on both offense and defense.

Obviously, Halliburton is the cornerstone of this Pacers. He had a buzzer-beating game in G1, and G4 scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 0 turnovers in a single game. But after looking at this round of series, Siakam is the best player for the Pacers.

Comparison of data from the two-way series:

-Siakam, averaging 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting percentage of 52.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 50%

-Halliburton, averaging 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, shooting percentage of 45.5%, and three-point shooting percentage of 32.7%

Siakam's strong point lies in stability, all 15+ in six games, three of which scored 30+, and G2's tough battles had 39 points in a single game. Even if G4 Halliburton handed over and recorded in history, Siakam also scored 30 points stably and efficiently.

The final result can also prove that Siakam is better: In the MVP vote in the Eastern Conference Finals, Siakam won 5 votes and Halliburton won 4 votes. The difference between this vote may be the result of Harry G5 scoring only 8 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

An interesting detail, when the final MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals was announced, Halliburton took a little step forward, and many fans speculated that Halliburton thought the result would be himself.

However, this slightly awkward small step did not prevent Halliburton from cheering for his teammates, and he soon congratulated Siakam on his trophy like the rest of the players.

If you pay attention, until this year's playoffs, whether Halliburton, Siakam or Carlisle, one thing that has always been emphasized after winning is the "team", which is also the biggest reason why the Pacers can reach the finals.

Siakum's MVP in this round of the game can be said to be well deserved. Halliburton is a little regretful, but the gap is not big. Although he missed the MVP in the East Finals, there is still an MVP trophy waiting for him - the latest probability of winning the championship, 85% of the Thunder and 15% of the Pacers, how many surprises can this miracle team bring?
