Halliburton suffered a calf strain

According to Shams, the Pacers' core leader Halliburton suffered a right calf strain during the game and will undergo an MRI test to determine the severity of the strain. It is still unknown whether the G6 will play in the next game. The Pacers made a comeback as fourth in the East to the finals, mainly relying on the courage and average basketballism of the team. But it is also inseparable from Haliburton's magical performance in the playoffs. He gave a winning goal in many games, demonstrating his big heart ability as a superstar. However, in the last game of G5 Tianwangshan in the Thunder Finals, Halliburton, who suffered an injury, performed very badly. He played 34 minutes in the game, made 0 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and made 4 of 4 free throws, only scored 4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 turnovers, and lost all the magic he had before and became the biggest contributor to the team's final loss.

The Thunder Gemini created history and shine throughout the game

As the Thunder won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain, Alexander made 9 of 21 shots and 0 of 3 points and 13 of 14 free throws, scoring 31 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. With this data, Alexander also set a number of records: ①Alexander scored 162 points in the 5 finals, surpassing Durant's 153 points in the 2012 finals, becoming the scoring champion in the history of the Thunder Finals. ② 30+ 10 consecutive home games in the playoffs, surpassing Chamberlain and taking the first place in the NBA playoff history. ③ Become the NBA's fourth single season and scored 30+ players in at least 15 playoff games, comparable to Jordan, Kobe and Olajuwon. ④ Scored 30+5 assists in 12 games in a single playoff game, surpassing Jordan and James to rank first in history.

Jaylen Williams made 14 of 25 shots in the game, 3 of 5 of 5 of 3 of 12 free throws, and scored a season-high of 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the winning goal. ① Three consecutive finals scored 25+ the fifth player under 25 in the past 40 years. ② He scored 40+ in the finals in the first three years, and was the first to be after Wade in 2006.

The Lakers have no chance to get Jaren Jackson Jr.

According to Lakers reporters, the Lakers have no chance to get Jaren Jackson Jr., and this is unnecessary discussion. As the core cornerstone of the Grizzlies' defensive system, he was selected as the All-Star twice and was awarded the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. He is a non-sale product for the Grizzlies. At present, the management has negotiated with other teams for players such as Clarkston, Robert Williams, Kessler, etc., and the most likely deal is Lopez of the Bucks and Capela of the Hawks.
