The second day of NBA All-Star Weekend has come to an end and the main game will begin today, and in yesterday's skill game, this year's All-Star host Cavaliers won the skill game. Garland performed well, scoring 24 points in the first round of shooting and hitting multiple long-range shots to help the Cavaliers come out on top. Garland's shooting makes me feel the gap between NBA players and the average person, and Garland's three-point shooting rate this season is only 37.5%, which is not good in the league. But his shot today feels solid, relaxed, and has a very high shooting percentage.
Garland, as the no. 5 pick in 2019, has been steadily improving in the three seasons he has entered the league. Rookie averaged only 12.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this season, and has been able to get 20.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists this season. Garland's physical talent is not outstanding, and he can achieve today's results thanks to his hard work. Judging by his career season performance, he has been stepping up his shooting, with Garland shooting 40.1 percent from his rookie season, barely justified for a defender. Fortunately, he has been improving, his shooting percentage has reached 47.7% this season, and it is estimated that he will improve in the future, so let's wait and see.
Garland was interviewed today, in which garland revealed to the media that he was recently training with Calderon. During the All-Star holidays, james and Paul are also learning from each other, hoping to learn something valuable from their seniors. According to my analysis, Garland will grow into a traditional defender player. Calderon and Paul are both traditional defenders, and although James is a forward player, his play style is also biased towards the defender style, and the style of these three is biased towards the team and has a strong ability to control the field. If Garland could learn from these old guys, it would benefit him for life. Garland's position in the Cavaliers is very important, the team's front line is overcrowded, the guard line is too weak, and the responsibility of organizing the team is basically pressed on Garland alone.
The Cavaliers' performance this season has been very unexpected, and I believe many fans did not expect the Cavaliers to use this "non-mainstream" lineup to reach fourth in the East. Sexton, in particular, suffered a severe knee injury after only 11 games, which made the poor line of defenders even worse. But as the saying goes, the heavens will send down a great task to the People of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer their hearts. It is at this critical moment that we can see who is the real hero. The Cavaliers' young players Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are really eye-catching. Hopefully, the Knights will go farther and farther under Garland's leadership.
