Final tiebreaker is coming! US media updates FMVP list: Harry ranks fourth + blue-collar surprises enter the top five

The finals are coming! As the championship is about to be born, US media "fansided" also updated the FMVP list in advance, with the Pacers core Haliburton ranking fourth, and the Blue-collar surprise entering the top five with his outstanding performance.

Fifth place: McConnell

Data: 11.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds

Pacers As the representative of the top team basketball, McConnell is the perfect embodiment of the Pacers' basketball philosophy and shines on the stage of the finals.

Since the Finals, McConnell has scored more than 60 points, 25 assists and 15 rebounds, becoming the only substitute player in NBA history to achieve this feat, and is one of the biggest contributors to the Pacers being able to drag the series into a tiebreak.

Even if the possibility is very small, the US media will include it in the top five list. This is a recognition of his contribution, and it is also a hope that he can play a more proud performance in the series tiebreak.

4th place: Halliburton

Data: 14.8 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds

As the backcourt core of the Pacers, Halliburton ranked fourth on the list. Just like he lost the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, the reason why Halliburton is not ranked high is mainly related to his playing style and characteristics.

Harry is a typical pass-based organizational core, resulting in insufficient scoring output on the offensive end and inconsistent scoring contribution.

But Harry still performed some remarkable performances in the series, such as G1's final victory set the tone for the entire series, and after G5 was injured, G6 led the team to win with injuries.

Third place: Jaylen Williams

Data: 24.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists

As the second leader of the Thunder, when the team fell into a passive position, Jaylen Williams scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the key Tianwangshan G5, hitting the Pacers' defense again and again.

Helplessly, Jaylen Williams quickly fell out of the bottom again in G6. When he was on the court, the team lost 40 points, which was the main reason why he failed to further improve his ranking.

Fortunately, the series has not ended yet, and the tiebreak performance is the most important aspect of the FMVP competition. If he can score 40+ points again in the tiebreak, then he will naturally be able to win the FMVP.

Second place: Sika

Data: 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4 assists

When introducing Sika, the team's expectations and positioning for him were the second-in-command role. As a result, Sika's performance has far exceeded expectations in the playoffs so far, and it is completely the team's contribution, and therefore beat Halliburton to win the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals.

With the extremely team-oriented Pacers, Sika's average data per game is not an exaggeration, but it is already the only strong offensive point that the Pacers can rely on frequently, and their stability and efficiency far exceed Halliburton.

, plus Sika won the championship in 2019, has rich experience and strong confidence, and believes that Sika will perform well in the tiebreak battle. If the Pacers win the championship, Sika is likely to win the FMVP.

No.1: Alexander

Data: 30.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists

Even though personal playing style is controversial, in terms of star quality, the new MVP Alexander is still the best player in this round of the series so far.

It is not difficult to see this from the data output. Alexander is the absolute core and offensive engine of the Thunder, and he carried the team's output.

Unlike the Pacers' team basketball, the Thunder still relies heavily on the stars to launch offensive system. Therefore, the personal performance of Alexander and Jaylen Williams largely determines the direction of the game. The two have to bear greater pressure and will naturally receive more honors. As long as Alexander outputs stably and the Thunder wins the championship in the end, he will be the best candidate for FMVP.
