Recently, the Cavaliers have suffered a personnel shortage, before the team triggered a health and safety agreement, Allen, Mobley, Osman and other players can not play because of the trigger agreement, and the two very important backcourt players in the team, Sexton and Rubio, have been reimbursed for the season, it can be said that the team has really had a very difficult season. And in such a situation, the team's veteran Kevin Love stepped forward!
In the last three games, Love has scored more than 20 points, facing the Raptors, he shot 7 of 12 and 6 of 9 from three-point range, and had 22 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal; against the Pelicans, he shot 7 of 14 from the field and 7 of 12 from three-point range, and got 24 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal; against the Wizards, he shot 7 of 15 and 4 of 10 three-pointers, and got 24 points and 11 rebounds. In these three games, Love averaged 23.3 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game, and such a performance seems to be back to his peak state!
This season's Love has won 5 double-doubles, his shooting ability on the outside is also vivid, the last three games he shot 51.2%, three-point shooting rate is 54.8%, such offensive efficiency is indeed very good, it is because of his excellent performance, so that the Cavaliers previously beat the Raptors by a big score, facing the Pelicans and Wizards did not lose too much!
For the 33-year-old veteran, he thought he had slowly faded out of the league, but he didn't expect him to play so well recently. So far this season, he has averaged 13.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting rate has reached 42.4%, which also proves that he still has a lot of oil in his tank!
This season he has played the role of a needle in the Cavaliers, his play can ensure the lower limit of the team, as a veteran, he still has a very important role. He currently has two seasons left in his contract year, worth about $60 million, and next season will be his contract year, and there should be teams that want to get the veteran!
