0.3 seconds of winning, 20 minutes of reversal! Beyond James to become the first person in NBA history, you are really underestimated

The NBA Finals have begun, and in this showdown, the Pacers and two energetic young teams, the Thunder. The Pacers' offense is like a rushing water, showing extremely high efficiency and powerful firepower, while the Rockets are known for their solid defense, and the defense line arranged is as flawless as an iron barrel. As the game progressed, fierce competition was about to break out, and the first finals were even more dazzling. The new MVP Alexander performed well, overcame all the players throughout the game and helped the team establish the biggest lead of 15 points. However, as the game was approaching, they made an unexpected mistake, which instead led to Halliburton's impressive reversal. He completed the final victory in 0.3 seconds and became a star in the spotlight again. After the game, he did not hide his joy and said domineeringly: "It feels so good to win!"

In fact, this is not the first time Halliburton has dedicated his final victory. In the playoffs this season, Halliburton completed four key goals in a decisive and stable performance. His performance at critical moments is really eye-catching. According to statistics from US media B/R, Halliburton has completed four final hits so far this season, of which the shooting percentage of tied or overtaken in the last 90 seconds of the game was as high as 85.7%, which is amazing and surpassed James' record of 5 of 6 shots (83.3% shooting percentage) in 2018. He became the first player in NBA history to score a goal or a win in four rounds of the playoffs in a single season, which is a glorious moment in history. In addition, the latest data provided by data expert Keerthika Uthayakumar shows that in the past 28 years of playoff history, the Finals teams were 0 wins and 121 losses when they fell 7 points or more in the last 3 minutes of regular time. But after Halliburton's final comeback, this number was rewritten to 1 win, 121 losses. On the highly anticipated NBA stage, Halliburton has quickly transformed from an excellent regular season organizer to the "best kill" in the playoffs, which is incredible.

Before the start of the playoffs, almost no one was optimistic about the Indiana Pacers' prospects for winning the championship, and the outside world generally believed that their probability of winning the championship was almost zero. However, after defeating the Bucks in the first round to advance, data released by the media "The Analyst" still shows that the Pacers' chance of winning the championship is only a slight 2%, and it still falls at the end of the overall ranking. Even if they successfully entered the finals, the outside world's doubts about them have not diminished. The authoritative media even evaluated the Thunder's probability of winning the championship as high as 93.5%, while the Pacers only had a 6.5% expectation. At this time, the odds for winning the championship are obviously biased towards the Thunder. Alexander is regarded as a popular candidate for the MVP in the finals, while the Pacers and Halliburton seem to be just a foil.

However, probability does not equal determination and fighting spirit. Halliburton has continuously broken the doubts from the outside world through every final victory (he was previously selected by the media as the most overrated player in the 2024-25 season), and the Pacers' probability of winning the championship began to rise against the trend - soaring from the original lowest 6.5% to 27%. This is not only Halliburton's personal brilliance, but also a proof that the Pacers' team's strength has been seriously underestimated.

The most interesting thing is that in the NBA playoff history's final kill rankings, Trae Young has completed 5 final kills so far, while James has only 4 buzzer-beating finals in his career playoffs, which has allowed him to surpass Jordan (3 times) and enjoy the first place in history. Now, Halliburton tied James' total buzzer-beating kills in just one playoff, which undoubtedly shows that a brilliant new star is gradually emerging and attracting everyone's attention.
