Overrated player? The Pacers backcourt core proves that he is an underrated player with practical actions

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference G1, the Indiana Pacers, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, defeated the New York Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season after a tough overtime battle, 138-135 after a tough game. After this game, the Pacers successfully completed the following draws, gained a 1-0 advantage in the first round of the series, and regained the home advantage.

In this game, Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers' backcourt core, played a mainstay role. Halliburton played 42 minutes and 27 seconds in the game, made 12 of 23 shots, 4 of 12 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored the team's highest score of 31 points, plus 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached the highest +15 in the game. Halliburton showed comprehensive scoring ability. He also scored a large number of points in various ways, providing great support to the team on the offensive end. He also withstood the pressure at critical moments and completed the final victory, which is also the key factor in the team's ability to win. Halliburton's performance in passing and organizing offense is also remarkable, and he also played the role of the core of the backcourt very well. Halliburton's performance in this game is indeed too outstanding, which is also an important factor in the team's ability to achieve this key victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Halliburton made a total of 73 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.6 minutes per game, averaging 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 47.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 38.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 85.1%. In the playoffs, Halliburton has made a total of 11 appearances so far, averaging 34.9 minutes, averaging 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage is 48.1%, three-point shooting percentage is 33.8%, and free throw shooting percentage is 78.9%.

Halliburton's performance in the regular season was not bad, but the problem is that his performance has declined to a certain extent compared to last season. Considering his age, his status in the team, and his salary, his performance is more or less a bit worse. Halliburton's performance during the playoffs can only be said to be almost similar to the regular season. Although the team played a great record during the playoffs, this is actually closely related to the performance of other players. Halliburton's performance as the core of the team can only be considered as a mediocre person. However, in this game, Halliburton also proved one thing through his performance that he is not an overrated player, but an underrated player. He is indeed capable of taking on such a burden in times of crisis when the team needs him to stand up.
