A new era is coming! Halliburton and Alexander are facing each other, and veterans may become history
2:11am, 2 June 2025【Basketball】
On June 1, the Eastern Conference Finals G6 game returned to Indiana again. The Pacers held a 3-2 lead. This time, when they returned to their home court, they would definitely hope to end the series at their doorstep and achieve the second time in team history to advance to the finals. This is very difficult for a small city team to cultivate a core team through independent drafts to lead the team to the finals.
The two teams were still in a stalemate in the first half. The Knicks faced a life-and-death battle away and put pressure on the Pacers on both sides of the offense and defense. Brunson opened fire at the beginning, and both sides almost tied in the first half. The Pacers maintained the lead with a slight advantage in the score.
The Pacers showed a stronger determination to win in the second half. They left no effort on the defensive end to force the Knicks to make frequent mistakes. Halliburton also achieved the ultimate in the team's organizational connection. He sent 13 assists again in this game. The whole team also did a great job of sharing the ball under his influence. Nemhard sent 8 assists and an astonishing 6 steals, which shows the Pacers' desire for victory. In the end, they defeated their opponents 125:108 at home and eliminated the Knicks 4-2 with a big score, and once again stepped onto the finals after many years.
This year's finals have completely become the stage for young people. Alexander is already the new favorite of the league. He has just won the double MVP in the regular season and the Western Conference Finals. He also has a rookie in the team and the second-tier Jaylen Williams who played at All-Star level and the second-tier player who gradually realized his talent. Halliburton proved that he was an underrated historical point guard in this year's playoffs. He almost tied his teammates together to form a top-level team with offense and defense; he eliminated the Bucks and Cavaliers in the first and second rounds respectively, and with just defeating the Knicks, the value of their advancement to the finals is unquestionable.
In contrast, the teams that have been eliminated this year's playoffs include Curry, Butler, James, Harden, and Lillard, and even Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Doncic, and Tatum who are in their prime are not able to enter the division finals. Durant, Davis, and Paul have not even been able to step into the threshold for the playoffs. History seems to have quietly completed the player change. Let us wait and see what changes will happen in the future league pattern!
