On June 10, the NBA Finals will usher in G3 in two days! In yesterday's G2, Pacers star Halliburton performed in moderation. According to statistics, Thunder star Dort became his nemesis on the offensive end, and famous vocalist Perkins even said that it is difficult for Halliburton to explode in G3 again.

In yesterday's game, Halliburton performed in modest performance, played in 34 minutes, made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 breaks and 2 blocks, but he made 5 mistakes, and the number of mistakes also tied the individual playoff single game record. Among them, he scored 5 points in the first three quarters with only 2 of 7 shots. Although he scored 12 points in the final quarter, it was not helpful to the Pacers' pursuit, and he was eventually replaced early and announced his surrender.

According to statistics, in the first two games of the finals, when Halliburton faced Dortmund's defense, his shooting percentage was only 20%, sending only 4 assists. So far, Halliburton averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 block in the first two games of the finals. The most eye-catching performance was undoubtedly the finals G1 shot.

Regarding his slump, Halliburton himself said: "Every time he breaks into the penalty area, you will feel like there are five people around you. We all know that the penalty area is the key to the game and is also our magic weapon to win. The more you can hit the basket, you usually create a better offensive opportunity. So the key is to find a reasonable three-point shooting opportunity. If you just pass the ball mechanically and wait until there is not much time left to make a hasty three-pointer, the game will become extremely difficult. I feel that I have performed very badly in the first half of two games. I have to think about how to do better at the beginning of the game."

When Halliburton predicted the performance of G3 that is about to start, famous mouthpiece Perkins said bluntly: "I don't believe he can explode in G3. We are talking about one of the best defensive teams in NBA history. Like Jokic, he also played the worst series performance in his career against the Thunder. Then the team killed Edwards, these are well-known scorers in the league. Halliburton is not good at scoring. He averaged only 18 points in the playoffs this year. Facing Caruso, Dortmund and Carson Wallace, I don't believe that Halliburton can perform well under such a muscle collision."
