The life and death play-offs between the Cavaliers and the Hawks, the Cavaliers with home advantage are still not very assured, in the face of the challenge of Trae Young, the Cavaliers have chosen to prepare for the battle, and the Cavaliers core center Jarrett Allen will show a tough guy style? Apparently, the Cavaliers posted a video of Allen warming up, we can clearly see that Allen is warming up and shooting training, the clearest close-up is that Allen's fingers are still tied with bandages, which is the reason why Allen has scribbled about missing 19 games.
On March 7, the Cavaliers beat the Raptors 104-96 game, Allen only played 10 minutes before suffering a finger fracture, has been recuperating from injury to now choose to come back to play a life and death battle, it can be seen that Aaron is very professional, but also a very tough guy, because Aaron's injury is not 100% healed, the finger is tied with a bandage shows that Allen is still in an injury state, and even affected Allen's shooting state, it is not difficult to find that Arun's shooting state is indeed not ideal, for a center with a free throw shooting rate of 70.2%, It's only going to be more embarrassing, but do the Cavaliers really need Allen's scoring skills? Sorry, Allen, who averaged 16 points per game in the regular season, should not be an important scoring point for the Cavaliers, although Allen can complete efficient scoring on the inside, the problem is that what the Cavaliers really need is Allen's defense.
Missing 19 consecutive games, but also fingers tied with bandages, will indeed affect Allen's competitive state, for the strong center who once gave James hot pot, Whether Allen can overcome some difficulties, it is necessary to see his performance, but can bring injuries to attend the life and death battle, which is enough to explain Allen's professionalism, but also shows the Knights' caution about life and death battles. Whether Aaron can become a knight's soldier, we will wait and see.
In short, the Cavaliers want to win the game, can not rely on Garland and Trae Young's duel, although James took the initiative to see Garland PK Trae Young before the game, but this is James's business pursuit, they are all James's good friends under the stars, in fact, Garland and Trae Young's fame, strength, etc. Have some gaps, and the Eagles were runners-up in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
The Cavaliers want to clash to get the last place in the Eastern Playoffs, it is necessary to be cautious and fully prepared, and Allen's comeback will more or less restrict the Hawks' tactics and will also limit Trae Young's activity space after rushing into the interior. Of course, the Hawks, who have playoff experience at the moment, may be more confident than the Cavaliers, although Love has won the championship in the Cavaliers, the problem is that the Cavaliers have changed dynasties.
