The Cavaliers' journey to rebuild in the "post-James era" has indeed gone much more smoothly than expected.
They have made some gains in trading operations + internal hematopoiesis + rookie cultivation, and perfectly implemented the team building concept of "swinging and targeting".
In the fourth season of James's westward journey to Los Angeles, the Cavaliers have reshaped the basic plate of the internal and external double All-Star press, ranking among the playoff through trains, and even the media has created a "James leaves back to the roots", the prospects of the Cavaliers Youth Army can be seen.
However, injuries became the biggest obstacle to cleveland's youth storm further sweeping the East.
Sexton, Rubio (traded out) and Allen all suffered season reimbursement, and the latter had to go deep into the late playoffs even if they could come back as quickly as possible, and this only existed on a theoretical level, and the remnant Cavaliers without the interior Optimus Prime were not good.
In addition, Garland's back injury has been repeated, LeVert's ankle has been sprained, and the team's offensive launch resources have been tightened again.
Allen's progress on both offensive and defensive ends this season is visible to the naked eye, and there are many people who have been uneven in the previous period for his lack of voting to officially enter the All-Star.
He gradually got rid of the stereotype of "pie eater" waiting to be fed, and showed higher plasticity in low-level development and a certain amount of face frame ball holding, and the finishing technique was more diverse, and the nearly 70% of the interior line crosshairs were quite impressive. With the future of the pie feeding man's technique will only become more exquisite, the current year of Aaron also has room to continue to rise.
Defensively, Aaron combines the consistently high-level protective frame with his mobile defense ability at the forefront of the same position, playing the strongest link in the Cavaliers' three-high system.
There is no substitute for this, even if the Cavaliers take out Mobly to swing upwards, partner Markkanen to defend the front with flanks, or use Lefour to start at the right time, just by trying to increase the attack, to make up for the overall defensive impact loss.
In the head-to-head conversation of the best rookie, Mobley is temporarily better, but he has recently hit the "rookie wall" momentum - defense needless to say, offensive end is a bit of a struggle, this wave of "upper" opportunities, will further amplify the shortcomings, or face the difficulties?
Mobly is regarded as an all-rounder with axis ability, attack and defense, originally a piece of carefully carved jade, but quickly cashed in on the combat strength, high-level strategy, blocking and dismantling external bullets and internal cutting, doing peripheral fixed-point options or a small number of face frame attempts, all showing the possibility of continuing to dig deeper.
The problem is that if rookie high picks want to systematically develop offense, the cost of trial and error is too high, and it is not suitable for the Cavaliers, which is already a start-up team that has begun to impact the playoffs.
As the cliché goes, Mobly's "Hanging Meat to Build Muscle Core" program is obstructive and long.
The defensive end can be achieved by virtue of his excellent personal assisted footsteps, change defense elasticity and system adaptation, but the attack will be slightly difficult - whether it is to grasp the misalignment, or to carry the face frame is still to be polished.
The Cavaliers are currently in sixth place in the East with 37 wins and 27 losses, and the follow-up schedule is relatively friendly.
In the card battle duel, the Cavaliers hit the Raptors in one top two games, and the winning difference was widened by 3.0 as desired, and the best rookie attribution is still unclear, whether the Cavaliers can keep the top six advantages and avoid the playoff melee.
Opportunities and challenges coexist, can Mobley, who has been pushed to the forefront, withstand the pressure?
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
