Tyrese Haliburton faces his worst career skill crisis

“I just miss shots. » Impossible to blame Tyrese Haliburton Right now. The figures clearly confirm this. His last performance, in the defeat against the Cavaliers, with a terrible 1/9 at 3-pts, only adds to the number of missed shots for several weeks.

“I'm in a crisis right now and what I have to do right now is keep shooting. It will sort itself out.”he said on Friday, before shooting 2/18 behind the arc in two games.

It is clear that the Pacers playmaker cannot get out of the hole. In March, he was only 17% successful at 3-pointers and if we look at the All-Star Game, he was only at 21% successful! While before the All-Star game, he posted a very nice 40%…

An overall awkwardness at 3-pts for a month

“When I play better, we win, so I try to understand what is happening at the moment. Obviously it's frustrating.”, says Tyrese Haliburton14 points at 4/14 on the shoot against Cleveland. “I've never experienced such a skill breakdown in my life, but it's part of the game. Yes, it's annoying. I have to find the solution. I have to be better. I will be in the future. If not, other players will be willing to do so. I have to be better, it's my fault. I played 32 minutes, it's more than enough to do what I do. I just have to be better. Final point. »

With the departure of Buddy Hield and the end of the season of Bennedict Mathurin, plus the prolonged absence of Doug McDermott, the offensive options are reduced for the Pacers. The All-Star will therefore have to quickly find his shot, if his team does not want to be in difficulty at the end of the regular season, then in the “play-in” or playoffs.

Moreover, like their leader, it is the Pacers as a whole who have been much clumsier lately (33% 3-point success since the restart). “The shots aren’t going in right now. I don't have any real explanation for that.” replies TJ McConnell. “We will continue to play as we do, we will continue to take shots. They will eventually return. »
