Fantastic Boy! McConnell averaged 11 points and 5 assists per game in the finals. What is Barria s performance in 2011?

Carlisle is a magical head coach, and he has proved his strong coaching ability more than once. As early as 2011, he led the Mavericks team to the finals, defeating Kobe, Durant and James, and successfully winning the championship. This year he once again led the Pacers to the finals stage. This Pacers is a civilian team with no superstars, but in the finals, eight players averaged double-digit points per game, and their performance was impeccable.

Among them, McConnell is a magical boy. As a mediocre talented undraft and a 33-year-old veteran, he saved the Pacers many times in this year's finals. Facing the Thunder, which has strong defense, he has performed top-notch on both offense and defense. This also reminds many fans of Baria in 2011. Baria was also a magical boy. She performed amazing performances many times without being favored, and eventually helped the Mavericks win the championship and became the X factor in the finals that year.

McConnell has played a total of 6 games since this year's finals. As the team's substitute point guard, he actually doesn't play much, only 19 minutes. Basically, when Halliburton was resting, he came on the court to lead the connection section and keep the team running smoothly. But McConnell exceeded the task. After 6 games, McConnell scored gorgeous data per game of 11.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.3 steals. Not only did he score sharply, he was also skilled, able to organize and defend, his shooting percentage reached 53.7%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 60%.

McConnell is full of enthusiasm. He can not only bring scores, assists and steals, but also ignite the team's passion. McConnell has made great contributions to winning three games.

As a comparison, let's take a look at Baria in the 2011 finals. The scene of Barria defending James's back-playing game in the finals that year also became a famous scene in the NBA. At that time, the Mavericks defeated the Heat 4-2 to win the championship. Barrea, as a substitute, averaged 21 minutes per game and played more time than McConnell. He handed in a good data averaged 8.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. His skills are also considered comprehensive. However, Barrea's efficiency is not that high, with only 38% shooting percentage and 33% three-point shooting percentage.

Not only that, Barrea was at the peak of 26 years old at the time, and McConnell is now a 33-year-old veteran. Whether in terms of data, efficiency or field performance, McConnell this year is more outstanding and more inspiring than Barria back then. It’s just that Barria defended James’ several back shots, so he left a deeper impression on the fans.
