preface
The Cavaliers are really the most surprising team of the season, no big stars to join, it's a group of mid-level players + a mobley who hasn't grown yet, but that's it, the Cavaliers pieced together to bring an entire team to life. The lineup of Mobley + Markkanen + Allen's three highs has been particularly effective, the bench of Lefour and Rubio can still be old, and the Cavaliers stumbled to the fifth place in the East. And today, they will be at home to meet the Challenge of the Hawks.
Match analysis
The Cavaliers played very well in the first half, especially Allen and Mobley, two big ones can have such mobility is rare, so the first quarter of the game Cavaliers net win 7 points, the second quarter net win 8 points; but the problem is that in the third quarter, Trae Young found the state, two three-pointers, a bottom corner shot, a layup, a single quarter 12 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, Capela, Redish and others also stood up under the tandem of Trae Young, so the Eagles in the third quarter of the single quarter bombed a high score of 40 points, net victory over the Cavaliers by 18 points.
And in the final finale, the cavaliers also found themselves in the second half. Mobley and Allen's basket hit hard, Love's key three points, but the Cavaliers did not have a timeout in the last minute, they could only serve in the backcourt, and the ball could not reach Lefour's hands at all, and finally the Cavaliers lost to the Hawks 118-121.
Player analysis
Luck really didn't have to say this game, the bench came on for 27 minutes, but exploded the game's high score of 35 points, with an additional 12 rebounds and 4 assists. Today,Luck felt good, shooting 10 of 18 in the game, 7 of 14 three-pointers, 8 of 10 from the free throw line, especially in the fourth quarter, with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in the single quarter, and only one turnover. And this game, one of the points I want to make is that Love was a bit isolated at a critical moment, worrying about the Cavaliers' prospects. Luck feels good today, 7 three-pointers is a good proof, but a team's key moments to hand over to him alone, this is actually a sense of crisis!
Everyone thinks back to the old Zhan in the past, when will the Cavaliers be forced to pass the ball to Lefu at the last moment? Isn't that a way out of the question? And to say one detail, but also the most important, the final key moment, the Cavaliers other players are unattractive, a few big tall, although playing well, but there are no three points, the other side completely ignores. So in the end, Love faced multiple people alone, the ball could not pass to Love's hands at all, Wendler's equalizer three points could not be shot, and the Cavaliers regretted losing the game. And Wendler's choice is certainly not wrong, and he certainly can't be blamed for not scoring. The first moment he advanced the whole field was to find Lefu, but Lefu did not have this opportunity to catch the ball, so in desperation and haste, Wendler chose to shoot. This goal can only be said to be a great achievement, not scored, and it really has nothing to do with him.
summary
So after watching this game of knights, there is a big crisis hidden behind the knights! No one can handle the ball at the team's critical moments, no one can shoot, and the heavy responsibility is shouldered by a veteran Lefour who has suffered multiple major injuries at the age of 33, which really makes fans feel worried about the Cavaliers' next schedule! Hence the phrase "7 three-pointers, one mistake, but you still have to see it clearly!" By your side, not James! ”
