“” He is not afraid, he reminds me very much. The little sentence is released by Rick Carlisle when analyzing the crazy end of the match signed by the Pacers in this game 5 eliminatory against the Bucks. A journalist then asks him to go further in his comparison between Tyrese Haliburton And the old local legend, Reggie Miller.
“” Physical appearance is one aspect, without lacking respect for one or the other. Reggie is one of the hardest guys I saw in the NBA. Especially when you take into account your fine morphology. But he had this strength and a will to steel “, describes the pacers techniciancoach of the former trigger in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
“” He was going to find a way to get a shot, to go to the free throw line, to dismember the field to get a stop when you absolutely needed a great player. And TY has a lot of similar attributes. It is stronger than you think. He has a really solid mentality “, Continues the coach.
His player made a good demonstration on it last night. While it was struggling with his outdoor shot (2/10), sprinkling squarely during the extension, the playmaker finished the work in penetration. First with its dunk to equalize at the end of regulation time, then with its penetration of the win in front of Giannis antetokounmpo. With his 26 points (10/22 shots) and 9 assists, he was the key man of this qualifying victory.
This player wants to be responsible for being the face of the franchise
His coach sees in his big end of the match a means of strengthening his status as the cornerstone of the franchise, as Reggie Miller had been before him. Rick Carlisle then remembers the former Market Square Arena where the local team evolved until 1999.
“” There was a photo of Reggie holding the ball on the side. It was the only image of a pacers player. This represents the fact that this player wants to be responsible for being the face of the franchise. With the way Ty plays, we can say that he wants the responsibility to be this guy. Even when it is difficult, he never doubts what he believes in and he continues to attack, to fight. No better example than the last 40 seconds tonight “, Book the coach.
His leader appreciates these comments and knows that each feat signed in this room, the conversations with Reggie Miller go up naturally. “” There were clearly many moments linked to Reggie in this room. I'm trying to make me a moment “, He formulated last March, after a feat at the end of the match against the same team.
Tyrese Haliburton reiterates him today thinking of the one he considers the greatest player in the history of the franchise: ” I try to write my own story. He made the foundations, I try to reach this level. Whenever I am mentioned in the same conversation as this guy is an honor because I have a lot of love and respect, and a good relationship with Reggie. »»
