Halliburton: I am underestimated because many people only look at the data column, and only focus on the current situation when dealing with the finals.

Pacers star Halliburton was interviewed by the media after the team's training and talked about the team's preparations for the finals G2.

Regarding the topic of evading myself as an "atypical rookie", Halliburton said: "This is a good question. I think it is because my playing style is not traditional, and this word is very appropriate. For example, my jump shot has been criticized when I entered the NBA, which is indeed an important reason for being underestimated. In addition, my impact on the game is not necessarily reflected in the gorgeous technical statistics. Nowadays, the way fans interpret the game is, many people only look at the data bar, and if my data is not as good as expected, it may be ignored. I am not sure of the specific reason, but this situation may not change soon. , that's part of my career."

Regarding the team's performance in the playoffs this season, Halliburton said: "The NBA game itself is difficult, especially in the playoffs, let alone the Finals. But all we can do is focus on the present as much as possible, which is what our team has always emphasized. The playoff journey may last 18 to 19 days (if it's a tiebreak), so we work hard every day, which is how we treat every series - how to focus on the present. For example, today, we have to complete media interviews and participate in training, Focus on what needs to be improved tomorrow and ensure the quality of today's training. If we always look to the future, we may ignore what we should do now. The coach has always warned us like this, and we also remind each other: how to live well today and prepare for tomorrow. As the whole season has come to this point, our mentality has always been focusing on the present, especially at the beginning of the season. Of course, we know the data, such as what it means to win the first two games at home, but we try not to pay attention to these things, and not let the weaknesses of nature affect us, just come day by day."

About walking Whether the showdown between the thunder and the league has entered a moment of new and old alternation, Halliburton said: "I think the transition between new and old is more of a media topic. In fact, veterans like James and Curry are still playing at a high level, so it is not fair to say that. I try not to pay attention to the outside world's reports on who wins and who loses, which means what it means. We just want to win, and how to interpret it after the game is an outside world, and we can't control it. It is of course great to see young teams succeed. Perhaps our playing style can provide reference for other young teams, but these discussions belong to the media, and our goal is to win."
