The Indiana Pacers will definitely take the lead in selecting the most magical team in this playoffs. Friends who have watched Pacers fans know that under Halliburton, this is a magical team. Their leaders can give each series a bloody finale (a draw). They can give their opponents a 47 minutes and 57 seconds ahead, and they only need the last 3 seconds to take away the victory. For them, completing a 20-point reversal is easy.

data will not lie. According to the official website statistics, at the critical moments within 5 points in the last 5 minutes of this playoffs (including the fourth quarter and overtime), the Pacers achieved a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, and were firmly ranked first, with obvious advantages over the Timberwolves' 4 wins and 1 loss, the Warriors' 3 wins and 1 loss, the Knicks' 7 wins and 4 losses, and the Thunder's 5 wins and 3 losses.

The only one who can win a key goal from the Pacers is the only one who came to earth. Mr. Tang scored 20 points in the final quarter of the Eastern Conference G3. He made all-out shots from inside and outside, and only with incredible performance can he barely fight against the equally incredible Pacers. In addition, whenever the game falls into the final key round of the final victory, the Pacers can always perform magic. For example, Toppin, who has never been good at long shots, can also make perfect shots outside the three-point line, such as Nesmith, whose three-pointer is more accurate than two-pointers. Of course, the most magical one is Halliburton, who is like drinking water.

It is said that Halliburton is the most overrated player in the 2020 class. After this playoff journey, I believe everyone will re-examine this tall point guard. Yes, his performance is not very stable, sometimes the lower limit is extremely low, and his shooting posture is a bit weird, but his upper limit is also ridiculously high. At the same time, under his leadership, the Pacers are expected to be in a dark way - as the "lower dog", they finally picked up the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes supreme glory.

Because Pacers who advocate offense do not pay much attention to so-called paper strength. When they hold up the banner of attack and drag their opponents into familiar fields, they can take the initiative on the field and complete those seemingly impossible tasks. Secondly, the Pacers have no obvious shortcomings in the inside, front line and defenders, and they have sufficient say in handling key balls. In comparison, the Thunder's record of 5 wins and 3 losses is also very good, but compared with the Pacers, they are obviously much inferior.

In short, it is not stable to have a 30-point lead without a 30-point lead. Their score may only require a few three-pointers and a high-level double-team for several consecutive rounds. Once the game is dragged into the final decisive round, the balance of victory has already turned to them. Topin's words, it is: he is used to Halliburton's final kill, and for him, he is too accustomed to it.
