Average 18 points per game, breaking the NBA record and becoming the first person in history! The playoffs MVP was born, and the league miscalculated

1:16pm, 9 June 2025Basketball

This season, the NBA playoffs reached the finals, with only two teams left, the Thunder and the Pacers. In the past few seasons, with the increase of age, like James, Durant, Curry and even Leonard, the dominance of the dominance has been declining. This season has become a watershed. Durant’s Suns, where he is located, cannot even get the ticket to the playoffs. He will definitely reorganize this summer. Bill will try his best to buy him out if he doesn’t give it away. Durant has become the biggest bargaining chip, and only the data brush Booker is still regarded as a hot commodity by the Suns management. There is also the Lakers. James led the team to play the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years. Although the Lakers have Doncic this season, including the three giants, including Reeves, the lower limit of the defense is too low. The Lakers only have one way to strengthen the Lakers in the future.

Legendary stars are getting old, and the new generation is fully in the lead. Jokic has been a regular MVP player in the past few seasons, but this season has lost to Alexander. Alexander led the Thunder to a record of 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season, and won the scoring champion + MVP + the best team team without any suspense. He easily won the Western Conference Finals MVP + Western Championship in the playoffs. Everything seemed to be smooth sailing, but in the first game of the finals, the Thunder felt the Pacers' strong oppressive aura. Even though the difference in the fourth quarter was 15 points and even if he was almost 10 points in the last 3 minutes, Halliburton led the Pacers to complete another super counterattack, from the distribution of scoring points to the contribution of the role players, including the franchise protection and the scoring ability at critical moments, the Pacers beat the Thunder.

U.S. media conducted a survey, who is the best player in the playoffs this year? Alexander got more than half of the votes, but one person was ignored, Halliburton. In the words of column reporter Quinn, as James + Durant + Curry grows old, the league has been looking for a new facade. Tatum has a gorgeous style, but does he have the ability to stand up at critical moments? Can Edwards' skills support him to become the number one player in the league? There is also Alexander, who is already the first player in the league this season, but his performance in the playoffs is not satisfactory at critical moments. Simply put, everyone has shortcomings, and no one is perfect. But what if a "lower dog" breaks in and eliminates all super giants?

This year's playoffs, the Pacers' first three rounds plus the finals G1, totaling 13 wins and 4 losses, only 3 wins away from the championship. As the boss of the team, Halliburton's data is very average, averaging 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.3 assists per game, with a lot of assists, but looking at the score alone, I'm afraid even the super giant in the playoffs. To make a simple comparison, Randall, the second in charge of the Timberwolves, has an average of 21.7 points per game in the playoffs! But Halliburton's playoff data must be the highest in the league, no doubt about it! Just look at a few statistics and you will understand how strong Halliburton is! This season includes the regular season, Halliburton made 13 of 15 shots in the last two minutes of the game, and it was refined to the last 90 seconds. Halliburton made a 12-for-13 shots!

In addition, Halliburton has tied or scored goals in four rounds of a single season (the first round of the Bucks G5 layup + the second round of the Cavaliers G2 step-down three-point kill + the Eastern Conference Finals G1 hit the Knicks with a long two-point draw + the finals G1 hit the Thunder jump shot to the Thunder), the first person in history! He scored the finals in the last 1 second, and he was the first player since Jordan in 1997! At least three times a season, he scored a winning goal in the last 5 seconds of the game, the first in history! The WPA contribution value of winning games at critical moments in the playoffs was 2.48, and it is the first person in history since this statistics! Halliburton has never been the absolute focus in the spotlight. At that time, the Kings determined the core of the team building between Fox and Halliburton, and decisively chose the former, asking the whole league for the price. In the end, the Pacers were willing to take out Xiao Sa and the deal was reached.

Although Halliburton was selected for the US team at last year's Olympics, Cole did not give him playing time at all. He was the last player in the US team. Even the US media posted a video that Halliburton tried to "recruit" Embiid during the preparations for the Olympics. Embiid responded: Even if I retire, I will not go to Indiana. Halliburton smiled awkwardly and couldn't speak for several seconds. Including at the end of the regular season this season, US media anonymously voted for the most overrated NBA players, Halliburton was elected first in a high vote in the sampling survey involving 90 NBA players! But no one cares that he persisted for a season with a hamstring injury, and it was not until the last two weeks of the regular season that he had completely recovered from his health. The playoffs really broke out and it was out of control!

The US media bluntly stated that Halliburton is like the villain in the story of the league that supports those stars. He will definitely not get the attention of Alexander, Tatum, Antetokounmpo, and Edwards, but Halliburton can make those superstars in embarrassment and despair every time. With calmness, calmness, and the most perfect winning choice at critical moments, he and the Pacers are getting closer and closer to the championship! He has no gorgeous statistics and not enough media attention, but he is the real MVP of the playoffs this season. The league is also going to miscalculate. After Jordan and James, Halliburton is gradually leading the Pacers to dominate the entire league as a "villain"!
