Halliburton is in a sluggish state, challenging the history of the finals?

On June 17, with 4 minutes and 53 seconds left in the first half, Pacers' superstar Halliburton finally broke the scoring drought and scored the first point of the game through free throws. Although he has not scored in the first half, this situation is really unusual on the NBA Finals stage. Halliburton's sports performance was particularly shocking, with zero goals in the whole first half, which was extremely rare. What is even more worrying is that apart from scoring, he has not performed well in rebounds and assists, which makes people feel anxious.

0 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, which are Halliburton's data in the first half, which is really incredible. Although it is not unprecedented that zero scores in halftime were seen at critical moments, it is indeed rare on the finals stage. Looking back at the 2019 Western Conference semi-finals, Curry also returned empty-handed in the first half, but broke out in the second half, scoring 33 points to lead the Warriors to victory, which set an example for Halliburton to surpass the predicament.

However, Halliburton's scoring account was closed until he relied on free throws to win the first point of his career game with 7 minutes and 7 seconds left in the third quarter. What is even more worrying is that his right leg was already wrapped in ice packs during the halftime break, and it seems that an injury may occur. In this situation, it reminds people of whether Halliburton can also complete the transformation of a superstar with a toughness and determination to lead the team to reverse the situation.

's backward performance in the first half made Halliburton even worse than Westbrook, who might have missed a single goal. Nowadays, Westbrook can only get a basic salary, but he performs better than Halliburton on the offensive end, which is undoubtedly a cruel fact. Haliber must think deeply, time will not allow him to hesitate any more. Unfortunately, he failed to hit a goal again in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, he made 0 of 6 shots, only 2 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, both of which were free throws. Halliburton must adjust his form quickly or he will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the key battle.
