The Nets beat the Cavaliers 115-108 and finally locked up a playoff spot.
According to the ranking, the Nets, who locked the 7th place, will play against the Celtics in the 2nd place, and the duel is very exciting.
The losing Cavaliers have one more chance, with Saturday going to play against tomorrow's Hawks and Hornets winners, with the winning team receiving the final playoff ticket.
The playoffs are wonderful, the cruelty is really cruel, the next two games to eliminate two of the three teams of the Hawks Hornets, no matter who goes feels like a loss to the fans. Oh, though, wasps are a bit like a bunch of them.
If the Cavaliers don't end up playing the playoffs, it's really too, too, too bad!
In the final moments, the camera is given to Jarrett Allen, the meaning can not be more obvious, if Allen is not injured, the Cavaliers still have a chance to win today? No, the Cavaliers probably don't need to play the playoffs at all.
Really, from once ranking second in the East, the main force has been injured all the way to the present to fight a life and death battle, which is how difficult it is to be out.
The Cavaliers' loss today cannot be excused by being young and inexperienced. How well the youngest two played!
Garland had 34 points, 5 assists and 2 steals on 13-of-24 shooting, and although the team dug a 20-point hole in the first quarter, Garland did not collapse and has been continuously outputting.
In the fourth quarter, Garland almost caught up with a wave of 9 points in a row, 16 points in a single quarter, if it were not for a man named Durant on the other side, maybe he would have been turned over by Garland.
Mobley had 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks on 9-of-13 shooting, and although he also made some mistakes that most young people would make, Mobley was really not soft on opportunities.
It can only be said that the Cavaliers really did not choose the wrong person, and if they continue to build a team around Garland and Mobley, even if they can't get into next year, they have a good chance.
On the contrary, The once high hopes of Markkanen and Le Vere, the ceiling may indeed be like this.
Markkanen 13 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-14 shooting, Le Ver 12 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals on 4-of-12 shooting, Markkanen can really use a "soft" word to describe it unceremoniously, Le Vere is conscientious, but the ability is almost meaningless, and if the Future Cavaliers want to improve the flanks, they will definitely have to passive knives.
In the end, the Cavaliers did use every method they could, putting the two most stable veterans on the field, and the veterans did their best.
Love shot 5 of 11, 3 of 4 three-pointers to get 14 points and 13 rebounds, Rondo 7 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, but the Cavaliers' problem is that there are really no other three points except Garland and Love, the chase is too slow, and the final penalty shootout can only play two points fast, and it is too unrealistic to bet on the free throw shooting rate with Durant Irving.
At this stage, stars of Durant and Irving's level are indeed still insurmountable mountains for the Cavaliers.
Irving didn't lose the first three quarters... With 28 points and nine assists on 12-of-12 shooting, the play-offs are a bit of a supermodel in the fairy mode, and the feeling that Irving can only wait for him to throw is also too desperate.
In the fourth quarter, Irving did feel down, scoring only 6 points on 1 of 4 in the single quarter, and 34 points and 12 assists in the whole game.
But an Irving state can also have a Durant ah, today Adu probably also opened a 1/10 death mode, the fourth quarter when the Cavaliers chased to 6 points when the right side of the 45 degrees in a row of two emergency stop shots, the point difference returned to 10 points to kill the game.
There is a saying that Durant didn't sweat much today, right? The Cavaliers were almost entirely in the bag, killed by Durant or killed by others, and the Cavaliers chose the second one today.
Adu scored just 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting, but gave up 11 assists, and when Durant has more assists than goals, it's just as hard to win.
The Nets' passing was too good today, and Durant passed the ball out to teammates 4 to 3 most of the opportunities were also seized, and there was no need to open the death mode.
Brown got a quasi-triple-double with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists on 8-of-19 shooting, and I was a bit of a trance to see that today's Brown is really sweet isn't Harden, I suspect the Nets cheated using forbidden techniques, how to go a Harden and a Harden!
The two interior games were crazy to eat cakes, Zhuang Shen had 16 points and 8 rebounds on 7 of 11, and Zhao Si had 13 points and 9 rebounds on 6 of 6.
When Brown can play harden's role, turn the river on the inside, and switch between scoring and passing, I really don't know how the Nets lose.
