Most NBA Fans, Casual or Evide, Tieres Heliberton’s superstar leaps have occurred in the last few weeks.

There was a tribute Regi Miller Eastern Conference at Madison Square Garden in Game 1 of the final. In Game 4 against Nax, almost statistically correct 32-point, 15-aid, 12-rebound, five-chori, zero-turnover game. And then, of course, the shot he hit 0.3 seconds left in game 1 of the NBA final. Oklahoma City Thunder 111–110, which silenced the most vigorous fanbase in the league on Thursday night at the Packom Center.

Later, in his postgame interview, Heliberton jokingly said with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, “we were late in the party,” when the host admitted that he did not see its ability. Indiana Pacers At the beginning of the season on Christmas when they were less than 500.

Even he brought his first signature puma shoe – continued earlier during the day – in the podium and jokingly said how Kicks were “secret sauce” to his penchers, which were to hit big shots at such a high rate.

In this season, he has hit the fourth quarter or 13-for-15 game-tie or game-tyerta shots in the last two minutes of overtime or hit the best field round percentage in a single season, as the play-bee-Plan was first tracked in 1996-97, according to ESPN Research.

But for those who know Heliberton’s best, it has been years since this superstar jump. And it started on Saturday in Philadelphia on Saturday at a random Saturday.

Haliberton did not know At that time, but he was in his last weeks Sakramanto kings,

He knew that something was missing from his game. Or maybe a lot of things. Because he was only 13.8 points an average of a game that year, and is not a young player like a young player for maximum contract expansion in summer.

His agent Dave Spain contacted the famous NBA Skills Trainer Drew Hannlane whether he would meet with his customer and consider working with him. Agreed to meet Hannlen but immediately put conditions on professional relations.

In his book, “Stop Beising Eurcell,” Hannlen wrote: “The biggest thing was holding her back, lack of her aggression. So I presented her a challenge. I told her that if he wanted to work with me, she had to try to score 14 fields against the next night.”

Heliberton remembers dinner well.

“He told me that I would have to believe in myself before believing me,” Heliberton told ESPN after Game 1 on Thursday night.

Unknown to him, Hannlen had been studying his tape for several weeks, as he also worked with Philadelphia. Joel AmbidAnd Sixers were engaged in discussion with Kings on a trade on a business, including Heliberton and Ben seamans,

Hannlen loved Helibon’s passing capacity, but was concerned with lack of aggression in scoring, limiting the effects of their magnificent passing. Ambid encouraged Hanlane to keep studying the film, as Heliberton had some aspects of his game that the elder man had never seen before.

So on January 29, 2022, in that game, Heliberton did what Hanlane challenged him to do it. He attempted 19 shots, made 11 of them and finished with the then career-high 38 points.

He was traded for pacers after 10 days.

He has been working with Hanlane since then, and the subject has never changed.

“The big quotation that we always say,” sometimes being very selfish is really selfish, “Hannlen told ESPN on Thursday night, as he was waiting for Haliberton by the Pacers Family Room in Oklahoma City. “When he is selfless, it really negatively affects the success of his peers and negatively affects his team’s success.

“The more he is aggressive, the more his team wins.”

Tyrese Haliburton told the Scott Van Pelt what the thrilling game of pacers was in his mind in the last moments of the winning game 1 winning vs. The Thunder.

Has been confident A fickle flame for Heliberton over the last few years – this season is difficult for the picture after its excitement interview and ceremony in court. But a few months ago, he was as low as Hanlane had ever seen him.

Being the only player in the Olympic team, who did not get any time, shook him. So there was a dull hamstring injury, which saved him from training in all summer. He came physically or emotionally in the season without his normal bursting. And it was shown in the slow beginning of pacers.

Van Pelt was commented on Thursday night after the victory. “We were late for the party, too,” how much Heliberton struggled to get his confidence and aggression earlier this year.

Even signature shoes he has a double meaning brought with him to the podium. When Haliberton was the lowest this year, he was worried that he did not worthy of honor of a signature shoe.

“He always uses doubt to give negativity and fuel to him,” Hanlen said. “But then he started buying in it and started believing it. We had to bring him to the past.”

On Wednesday, Heliberton Texted Hannlane a post from @Studio 7inbox – an X account with 269 followers – who won the pacers in attempts per shot by Heliberton.

Hannlen had no idea how Heliberton found that post, but he was happy what Heliberton was thinking on the eve of his first final presence.

“We came with a slogan, which is Orange thing“Hanlain said.” Which means just to see the orange thing. Look at Rim as much as possible.

“You won’t ask some players to be highly aggressive because you think they are going to start hunting for bad shots. But for Ty, we believe that if he gets downhill and keeps himself in the right place, he will take the right decision.”

The end result of all this is that while it appears that Haliburton is taking a superstar bend in these playoffs, it is one that began three years ago – and a one who still needs a trend.

Heliberton flew to help Nix to prepare for the game 6 for Indianapolis after shooting Nicks 5 after shooting only seven times in the pacer game. He watched the film, and when Haliberton went to bed, Hanlane collected any orange thing and found it at home and left him outside his door.

They found a bag of goldfish, a huge box of reese puffs grains, a number 3 -shaped basketball, a huge carrot, an orange bag of gitard dark chocolate and a butter group of compassionate peanuts.

Haliburton woke up and had to step on all “orange things” to leave his room.

“This all he talks about,” Heliberton jokingly. “24/7, every day all day. It never stops with the man.”

Clearly found through the message. Because Haliberton went out of the Pekom Center on Thursday night, he asked how many shots he made in Game 1.

thirteen.

“Damn it,” he said. ,[Hanlen’s] Is not going to be happy. I know I was terrible. I made shots and everything, but there is a lot of space for improvement. I can be better. ,
