Halliburton: From Samsung high school student to $260 million in maximum salary, he used his strength to tear off the overrated tag

He should be the man who plays basketball the most in the circle of friends of Chinese fans. He said hello to fans in the WeChat group and thanked him for being an All-Star starter. He was once a rookie in the US Samsung high school student, but he was able to sign a five-year, $260 million super maximum salary contract in the NBA. This guy is Halliburton, the Pacers star.

Halliburton's physical talent is not very impressive, and his shooting movements are weird, and he pushes it out of his chest every time he shoots. When he was in college, the school almost gave him a scholarship.

The old club Kings believed that Halliburton's upper limit was not high, so they took the initiative to trade him to the Pacers.

Last summer, even though he was selected to the US men's basketball team to compete in the Paris Olympics, fans joked that Halliburton was here to make a gold medal and rarely got playing time, and laughed at him as just the 12th player on the team.

Even though he led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals and the Midseason Championship finals last season, fans still don't like Halliburton, thinking that this guy is suffering from too many injuries to his opponent.

In this way, Halliburton was named the most overrated player in the league by the media this season. When his condition is sluggish, Halliburton will read social media comments and will use his performance on the court to shut up the trolls.

At the Paris Olympics last year, Halliburton sat on the bench almost the whole time due to a recurrence of his old injury.

In response to this, he said: I had no chance to play in the Olympics and could not respond. Those negative remarks swallowed me like this.

Later, Harry turned to trainer Hanlun, who was used to guiding Halliburton with strict love.

Hanlun never stings with pointing out the problem that Halliburton encountered: Tyres, shut up, that's not the problem, pay attention to your orange goal.

The psychologist never speaks like this, but Hanlun can always use this method to make Halliburton return to the basketball itself.

After that conversation, Halliburton felt that his turnaround for the season was coming.

Halliburton's poor performance before the All-Star Game made people suspect that he had lost his magic. After the All-Star Game, Halliburton suddenly ran away and led the Pacers to a record of 16 wins and 5 losses in the last 21 games, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs.

In the playoffs, Halliburton's form was even more explosive. He averaged 19.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.6%, but he averaged only 1.9 turnovers per game. At the critical moment, Halliburton made several final comebacks.

At the last moment of the G5 against the Bucks series, Halliburton shook Antetokounmpo, made a layup to defeat his opponent, sending the team into the second round.

Away game in Cleveland G2, Halliburton defeated the Cavaliers in the last 1.1 second.

G5 played against him and scored 6 three-pointers in the last three quarters, leading the team to clear the gap of 19 points, finally won in overtime, eliminated the Cavaliers, and led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Final again.

Halliburton redefines the Pacers' playoff journey this season with his overrated label.

When he hit the finale again, those doubtful voices had long been drowned by the cheers of victory, leaving only the brilliant counterattack script of him and the Pacers.

No one is optimistic about you, but you are the most successful.
