Beijing time on April 16, the NBA play-offs continued, today the Cavaliers sat at home to usher in the Challenge of the Hawks, after the Cavaliers lost to the Nets in the scramble for seven, and the Hawks defeated the Hornets in the game of grabbing nine, although the Cavaliers sat at home, but the lack of roster strength and experience is their biggest problem. At the start of the first quarter, the Cavaliers sat at home and felt hot, and under Garland's leadership, they led their opponents by 11 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Hawks regained some feel, and Pogdan led the bench to full fire, but the Cavaliers quickly widened the Eagles' encroachment point gap after replacing the main force, and the Cavaliers led by 10 points at 61-51 at the end of the half. In the first half, Trae Young scored 6 points on a total of 11 shots, Garland was not efficient, but better than Trae Young, 14 shots scored 13 points, a junior in front of Trae Young was seriously injured, according to Trae Young's personality is bound to be impermissible, the second half began Trae Young broke out, the third and fourth quarters cut a total of 32 points, and Garland did not have the firepower of the opponent Trae Young, and finally the Cavaliers missed the playoffs 101-107.
In terms of data, Trae Young shot 13 of 25 from the field, 4 of 11 three-pointers to get 38 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 block, compared to Garland was blown up, 9 of 27 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers for 21 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, personal data, Garland was blown up, but a third-year player leading the Fish Belly Cavaliers into the playoffs this season has been commendable, and they have found two good cornerstones for rebuilding.
One is Garland, the other is Mobley, this rookie Mobley faced such a high-pressure game, not timid, he played very reasonably, 6 of 12 shots, 3 of 3 three points, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. However, the team's All-Star interior Allen has no previous tactical position after the comeback, which may be that Bill Stave is afraid of affecting the team's previous tactics, so he did not let Allen bear more tactical status on the offensive end, scoring 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 4-of-4 shooting.
Billstaff's experiments this season are very successful, his three towers are unique in the small ball era, but with height and rim is also let many strong teams face them to eat up, this campaign space tall Tower Markkanen played the best performance of the team, 10 of 17 shots, 12 of 12 three-point shooting, 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. Markkanen's stats are good, but his hidden dangers on the defensive end of this game are also the key to the Cavaliers' loss.
Although the height of 2.13 meters has good mobility, but in the face of most of the backcourt and forward players, Markkanen's speed is still a loss, the advantage of his playing the No. 3 position is that the opponent can not interfere with his shooting when shooting outside, the disadvantage is that the defensive end of the inner line can not hold, the defense can not keep up, somewhat similar to the current Porzingis, the Cavaliers' reconstruction has not yet been completed, solving the problem of their defensive end will be the key to whether the Cavaliers can rise next season.
The cavaliers' two veterans did not play their due performance, against the Nets Lefour and Rondo played very well, the result today Rondo 3-of-0 with 0 points and 2 assists, Lefour 2 of 2 with 3 points and 4 rebounds, today Bill Stave also did not want to lose, with 8 people rotation, but Lefour and Rondo did not get too many opportunities, Rondo 15 minutes, Lefu 10 minutes, should give the veteran more time, their experience can help the team.
The Hawks showed their multi-point blossom again today, with the exception of Trae Young, Hunter with 10 points and 5 rebounds, Hult with 13 points and 2 assists, Gallinari with 14 points and 3 rebounds, and Pogdan with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. After advancing to the eighth place, the Eagles will face the Heat of the First Place in the East in the playoffs, and after winning, the Eagles officially tweeted: "This is for 15 years", which means to avenge the 15-year elimination.
The original 14-15 season Eagles rely on Horford, Korver and other people to play a very good team basketball, they achieved a 60-22 loss in the regular season in the East, but the result was swept by the Knights led by James, it seems that the Eagles are still grumpy about the shame of the year, and now things are wrong, the New Boss of the Cavaliers has become a young Garland, and the Eagles also have a better leader Trae Young, such revenge does not seem to have the meaning of the old enemy, then, what do you want to say about the two teams?
