From G1 s magical kill to G2 s stealth loss! Why did Harry s magic fail? 5 major reasons give answers to the answer

From the last 1 second of G1, he sent out a magical historical kill, to the first three quarters of G2, he was completely lost invisibility and lost in the first three quarters! Why did Halliburton G2, who led the Dark Horse Pacers to the finals, fail to make a magic? Five major reasons give answers.

G2 Harry magic failed

After G1 defeated the Thunder with a 15-point victory with Halliburton, the G2 Pacers failed to continue to create miracles and lost to the Thunder with 107-123, and the score was tied at 11.

Compared to the big score being tied 1-1, the team's core Haliburton's sluggish performance obviously made the Pacers more worried. After all, the first two games were both home games, so it is rare to be able to steal a victory.

However, after the core Halliburton completed his self-salvation in G1's final victory, G2's performance was extremely disappointing, and he only scored 5 points in the first three quarters.

After basically losing suspense in the last quarter, Halliburton began to make efforts, scoring only 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, and made 5 mistakes, which was completely incomparable to Alexander's record-breaking 72 points in two games.

So why didn't Halliburton perform magic moments again in G2 like G1? Five major reasons give answers.

Reason 1: Harry has always had low production

As the core of the team, Halliburton G2 only scored 17 points and was criticized by the outside world, but in fact this is Halliburton's usual offensive and scoring performance.

Since the playoffs, Halliburton averaged only 18.4 points per game, shooting percentage of 46.9%, and three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. He has never been a high-yield and efficient scorer, but his final score has been completed many times to amplify the outside world's expectations for him.

This is even the case during the regular season. Halliburton averaged only 18.6 points per game, so it is unreliable to expect him to have a high-yield performance. In the G1 final game, Halliburton only scored 14 points.

Reason 2: Harry has been unstable

G2 scored 5 points in the first three quarters, which is not the first time he has lost his temper in the playoffs. He only scored 8 points in a single game against the Knicks in the East Finals, and G2 of the East Finals also scored 14 points in a single game.

and even in the semi-finals, he only scored a pitiful 4 points in the whole game, and he only scored 10 points against the Bucks G1 in the first round, so instability is the norm for Halliburton.

He may score 30+ on a certain night (3 times so far in the playoffs), but he may also score more than ten points, or even single digits. This is also the core reason why he made many hits but lost to Sika to lose the MVP of the East Finals.

Reason 3: Harry's main projection

As a weak technical backcourt, Halliburton's main scoring method comes from outside projection and conversion attack.

Halliburton's 18.4 points during the regular season, 7.2 points came from the outside and 1.6 points came from the conversion offense. At the same time, he averaged only 3.1 free throws per game.

such offensive characteristics are destined to be unable to solve problems through personal forced solutions as frequently as Alexander. The Pacers actually rely more on Sika, who has the advantages of body shape and dislocation in terms of forced solutions.

Reason 4: Harry's first pass

In the final analysis, Harry's positioning is not a scorer, but a top organizer. This is Carlisle's positioning for it, and the latter is the real core of this team Pacers.

Since the playoffs, Harry has averaged 9.3 assists per game, with an assist rate of 38.5%.

However, the round share that reflects the status and level of the star is only 21.9%, ranking 37th in the league, which is the level of the top second leader, while Alexander's round share is as high as 31.9%, ranking fifth in the league.

Reason 5: The Thunder's top defense

Facing the successive confrontation of Caruso, Dortmund and Carson Wallace, Halliburton's fire was not surprising.

As famous Perkins said, he is not optimistic about the rebound of G3 Halliburton, because the Thunder are one of the best defensive teams in history (the defensive efficiency in the regular season and playoffs are the league's first), and they have allowed multiple MVP Jokic to play the worst performance in his career.

also locked down Edwards, a well-known scorer in the league. In addition, Halliburton is not a player who is good at scoring, so it is hard to believe that he can rebound strongly in the future.
