On March 16, Beijing time, the Cavaliers played at home against the Hawks, and as long as the Cavaliers won this game, it meant that they would enter the playoffs, but in the end they still fell at the door of the playoffs, facing the fiery Trae Young, the Cavaliers finally lost 101-107. Although the team did not make it to the playoffs this year, they have performed very well for a team that has just been rebuilt, especially the young player Garland, whose presence has given Cleveland fans hope for the rise of the Cavaliers.
At the beginning of the season, the Cavaliers put together a young combination of Garanga Allen, and basically no one was optimistic about the internal and external double stars, because they were too young to play. But not long after the season began, Garland conquered the audience with his performance, and on the field, Garland matured beyond words, not at all like the twenty-two-year-old playing style, unlike other young defenders Garland who were not obsessed with impacting the basket. Fans who often follow Garland should know that Garland rarely shoots against defense and will choose the most confident way to score.
It is this unusual maturity that has allowed Garland to win the team's leading score and assists in the Cavaliers this season, averaging 21.7 points, 8.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game this season, which is the first player on the team to get the assist king scoring king since James left the Cavaliers. I have to say that the knight's vision is indeed old. Garland has grown fast this season, and if the Cavaliers can make it to the playoffs, it will be very beneficial to this All-Star player. Now Garland lacks experience in playing hard battles, he plays too systematically, and once he encounters unexpected changes, his on-field experience is not enough to support his rapid reaction, which is his shortcoming, and of course, it is also a common problem of all young players. At present, it seems that the Cavaliers will also focus on Garland and Allen next season, with the veteran Lefour to continue to impact the playoffs.
It is worth mentioning that as a young man Garland, on the sidelines he still continues the mature style of the game, Garland as the Cavaliers' most talented, but also the hardest player, he often trained his shortcomings after the game, this season in order to keep up with the intensity of the confrontation, Garland has carried out more strength training, and now he is no longer the original scouting report, lack of confrontation skills defender, it can be said that Garland as the only All-Star player in the James Cavaliers, is growing at an alarming speed, According to the team, the Cavaliers have exceeded expectations this season, and Garland has also grown very quickly, and a maximum salary will be arranged for him next season. Garland will play a more important tactical role for the Cavaliers, and let's look forward to his performances in the coming year.
