Halliburton scored 126 points in 46 of 101 shots in the Eastern Conference Finals. How many points did East Conference Final MVP Siakam score?

The MVP in the Eastern Conference Finals is not Halliburton, but Siakam! Did you guess it before the awards?

Halliburton played 6 games in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Halliburton made a total of 101 shots, hit 46 goals, scored 126 points, 36 rebounds, 63 assists.

Halliburton averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, 10.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. shooting percentage is 45.5%.

Halliburton could do better in these aspects in the finals. 1. Be prepared to deal with difficulties. The overall strength of the Thunder offense and defense is above the Pacers, and they will put a lot of pressure on the Pacers. Halliburton and the Pacers had a hard time winning as easily as they did in the previous series. The Pacers actually played very smoothly this season and did not encounter too much resistance. They easily won 4:1 against the Bucks in the first round; they also ended the battle early with the Cavaliers in the second round; although the Pacers in the East Finals played in the sixth game with the Knicks, they lost a game after 3:1. The players are still very relaxed because the error tolerance rate is very high! Even if G5 loses, there are still G6 and G7 to adjust. With a lot of room for adjustment, the more relaxed the players will be, the smoother they will play, without much burden.

In contrast, the Thunder experienced a hard battle in the second round, and they fought until the tiebreaker and scored the winner. Don’t think that playing the series for a long time will not be beneficial to the Thunder. In fact, this is not the case, it will be very helpful to them. In fact, the Thunder are not in a particularly good state when entering the playoffs, not as strong as the regular season, but after experiencing a hard battle with the Nuggets, they are more relaxed and less pressure. The team has experienced hard battles and the better the team, even if the Thunder and Pacers play very anxiously and stalemate, the Thunder are mentally prepared because they have experienced it early and are not afraid. And this may be a great challenge for Halliburton and the Pacers. As the core of the team, Halliburton must be mentally prepared first and tell the whole team that he must be mentally prepared to fight tough battles and protracted battles. Don’t panic when he falls behind, and don’t be arrogant when he wins and loses!

2. Got more points! Halliburton averaged 18.8 points per game and was a bit of a bad idea. He needs to explode on the offensive end and put more defensive pressure on the Thunder. The more points he scores, the more defensive resources and energy the Thunder will have to spend against him and double-team him, so that he will pass the ball more easily and assist more. After all, basketball is a game that wins more than which team scores more. As the Pacers' leader, Halliburton must be more proactive on the offensive end.

3. Improve the three-point shooting percentage. Halliburton averaged 7.1 three-pointers per game in the playoffs this year, hitting 2.4 goals, and his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%. Both the playoffs and regular season three-point shooting percentage were career lows. Halliburton's three-point shooting percentage has been 39.2% in his NBA regular season career, and his three-point shooting percentage has been 35.8% in his playoff career. He can also shoot better and more accurately, and he has this ability.

As the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, Siakam made a total of 105 shots, hit 55 goals, scored 149 points, 30 rebounds and 21 assists in the playoff series against the Knicks.

Siakam averaged 24.8 points, 5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the Eastern Conference Finals, with a shooting percentage of 52.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 50%, and a total plus-negative value of up to +36.

The Pacers need Siakam to do more if they want to defeat the Thunder and win the championship.

1. Siakam will continue to explode on the offensive end. Siakam can't play two games well and one down like he did in the Eastern Conference Final. The finals have very low fault tolerance. Every game is crucial, every game must be fought for and every point must be won. It won't give you too much time to adjust. If the Pacers want to win the Thunder, Siakam needs to score more points on the offensive end!

2. Exert mobility. Siakam wants to mobilize the Thunder's inside. That way, the walker will be more likely to hit. If Homegren cannot be transferred out, it will be difficult for the Pacers to break through to the inside. Siakam actually has the potential to become a misplaced monster. He is tall and wingspan, can play multiple positions, has shooting, hold the ball, break through, and pass the ball. Siakam has an advantage in defending him with inside players, and he can also shoot three-pointers; he has an advantage in defending him with outside players. He must give full play to his mobility. If he plays well, he can resolve the Thunder's defensive formation well.

3.Siakam needs to do better on the defensive end. Although the Pacers' offense is strong, their defense is not at the top level. It is difficult to defeat the Thunder by attacking alone! There is a saying in the NBA that offense wins fans and defense wins the final championship! Most teams that could successfully win the championship in the past were teams with balanced offense and defense. They could be smooth on the offensive end and airtight on the defensive end! Only teams with both offense and defense will have higher ceiling potential and stability. Sometimes offense will "deceive" people, but defense will not "defeat" people. The inside line is the team's last line of defense and the most important line of defense. As the core of the inside line, Siakam must set an example and improve the quality and intensity of the defense.
