What kind of killing magic does Halliburton have?

Halliburton has played four quasi-finals or tied goals this season after defeating the Thunder's finale, which is also the fifth time in his career - this is the second time since the 1997 playoffs, tying team history legend Reggie Miller.

Previously, Halliburton was selected as the "most overrated player" by a large group of players. Indeed, he is not a traditional one-on-one champion - in the playoffs, he scored 51 points in 17 games, which is less than Randle's 15 games and 52 points, but it is slightly beyond the performance of Harden and Doncic, who were 7 games and 41 points in 5 games respectively. If it comes to pick-and-roll scores, he also had 134 points in 17 games, although this still lost to Alexander's 222 points and Brunson's 219 points.

However, at critical moments, can he always shoot accurately? It may be that he has a big heart, but it may be somewhat spiritually biased; but it seems a bit too superstitious to attribute to Halliburton's "magic". From a materialistic perspective, the ball was shot into the basket in real terms.

Some people say he is fast, but the early DRAFTNET draft report gave Halliburton athletic ability 7 points (out of 10). One year in basketball games, Halliburton had a dribbling speed of 83, which was not outstanding. So, how did the opportunity come about? Why do so many opponents give him the opportunity to take action again and again?

Recalling the fifth game of the Eastern Conference in the fifth round, Halliburton's final kill sent the Bucks away, but in fact there is a key cause behind this: when the game is coming to an end, Halliburton broke through with his left hand, cut from the opponent's right, and made a layup, Giannis did not make up for the position in time. This goal should be impressive to Giannis, and Halliburton undoubtedly knew that the goal was deeply engraved in his heart.

For the next goal, Halliburton dribbled to the frontcourt. Giannis stood with his left foot and right foot, just blocking Halliburton's left-hand attack. Halliburton cleverly dribbled with his left hand and changed directions, attacked Giannis' left foot, and quickly cut into Giannis' side. Giannis failed to turn around to defend in time, Halliburton made a layup easily, successfully won the final victory, and sent the Bucks home.

This wave of operation is clever: the first ball attacks with your left hand to suck your appetite; the next ball breaks with your right hand, instantly catches the defender off guard and gets angry?

In the second game of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, Halliburton once again defeated the Cavaliers. With the Pacers trailing by 2 points, Halliburton dribbled the ball across the right side, and Jerome quickly adjusted his position to block Halliburton's right-hand attack. Halliburton used the change of hand to change direction and quickly broke through Jerome's right foot. The latter turned around quickly, and the defense seemed a little panicked. Halliburton quickly stepped into the three-point line, and after a quick stop, he quickly jumped and shot a long shot: Jerome couldn't catch up, and the Pacers turned defeat into victory.

This time it was the front foot of the attacking opponent again. When the opponent turned around, he immediately took a step and scored a jump shot. Isn’t it annoying to make you angry?

Look at the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton's tie made the Knicks unable to stand up. When Halliburton passed halftime, Mikal Bridges followed closely behind, and stood to defend against Halliburton's left-hand attack and also to break through the middle. Halliburton changed hands and quickly attacked Bridges' left foot, and successfully entered the inside. At this time, Mitchell Robinson was preparing to make up for the position, but his center of gravity fell. Halliburton immediately turned around and retreated to outside the three-point line. Miro could not catch up. Halliburton raised his hand and shot a long shot without hesitation, hitting the goal.

This time, he still accurately attacked the opponent's front foot. After the opponent turned his hips, he scored accurately with a rapid step and a long shot, which was simply infuriating.

The next game is yesterday's duel: Carson Wallace stared at Halliburton tightly over the halftime, Nesmith also tried to cover, and Alexander immediately pushed forward to prevent Halliburton from breaking through. At this time, Halliburton accelerated his breakthrough with an emergency stop. Without Nesmith's cover, he broke through from Carson's left. Carson hurriedly turned to defend, but Halliburton made a precise jump shot after a quick stop. The ball entered the net and hit the final goal.

This final kill was just like before. He swung over the defender through clever left and right foot attacks, and finally ended the game with accurate mid-range shots.

Halliburton was never the fastest player, but what he was good at was flexible skills and adaptability. When breaking through, you don’t have to rely on speed and physique, and you can attack the opponent’s position; when shooting, you don’t have to force yourself to the defender. He can always find the opportunity to take action when the opponent’s center of gravity shifts.

After all, Halliburton's technique shows the most primitive skills of basketball: rhythm, center of gravity control, clever use of footsteps, mastery of floor flow, and precise control of time difference. This is exactly the "magic" he will kill every time.
