On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, in a playoff game that was not noticed by everyone, the Magic sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Cavaliers, before this game, the Cavaliers doubled the Magic at home, as long as they can win this victory, then their promotion is almost a certainty, because no team in history can make the playoffs 0-3 behind, but the Cavaliers lost to the opponent in this game, and then we briefly talk about the game process, and then talk about the players' play.

Contest Recap:

13 points on 16 shooting, leading the team to a 38-point defeat! A pseudo-star played in the playoffs, the Cavaliers lost 8 for 1 that year

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Garland and Mobley played a 6-0 start, and the Magic relied on Wagner Jr.'s 2+1 to open the situation, and then Wagner and Banchero scored successively to help the Magic establish a lead, and the Magic led by 10 points in the first quarter, and Bancher's firepower in the second quarter was unabated, and he hit 4 consecutive shots to help the Cavaliers expand the lead, while the Cavaliers were the core of the core of the iron frequently, and the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, and the Magic had a 16-point lead at halftime.

Yibian scored 4 points in a row after Mitchell opened the game, thinking that he was going to exert his strength, but then began to play crazy again, and the Magic side Suggs became a wonder in this quarter, scoring 13 points in a single quarter, and with his help, the Magic had extended the lead to 35 points at the end of the third quarter. Seeing that he was unable to recover, the Cavaliers went straight down the starting line in the fourth quarter, thinking that the bench could recover some points, but the Magic was still ruthless, and finally the Magic defeated the Cavaliers 121-83.

Magic regains self-confidence

The reason why the Magic was able to sweep away the decline of the first two games in this game was because their three-point was opened, and the past two games the Cavaliers were shrinking their defense to limit them, which also affected the Magic's offense, but their three-point opening in this game also disrupted the Cavaliers' defensive formation, Banchero shot 13 of 26 in the game, and 4 of 9 three-pointers got 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and steals.

Suggs was the second biggest contributor to the team's win, with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block on 9-of-11 shooting and 3-of-5 three-pointers. Judging from the current situation, Suggs may be the second leader of the Magic in the future, and Wagner Jr. scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists on 6-of-12 shooting and 1-of-4 three-pointers.

In addition, Cole Anthony scored 10 points and 3 assists off the bench, Fultz got 11 points and 2 rebounds, and Isaac scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.

However, there are also benefits to young teams, if they can win in the playoffs, it will inspire their self-confidence, a group of talented players find confidence, it is difficult to target again, borrowing from the Thunder and Pelicans, the first game of the Thunder narrowly won, and then they found the confidence and they beat the Pelicans in the second game.

Mitchell's pseudo-star real hammer

To be honest, it is estimated that many fans predicted that the Cavaliers may not sweep the Magic, but they did not expect them to lose so badly, after all, they made the playoffs last season, and Mitchell is still a seasoned veteran, in this case, losing by 38 points is indeed disappointing, after this season's loss, maybe the Cavaliers will change in the offseason, they have been rumored to send Mitchell away as early as the trade deadline.

The reason why Mitchell was sent away, on the one hand, is that Mitchell will most likely not renew his contract with them, and secondly, Mitchell did not meet the expected level, Mitchell got 13 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists on 6-of-16 shooting in this game, and his performance is not a star at all, and his performance in the last game was not good, scoring 23 points on 9-of-22 shooting in the whole game, averaging 22 points per game so far in the playoffs, and the three-point shooting rate is only 25%, which is completely locked by Suggs.

Mitchell's height of 1.85 meters to play the No. 2 position not only suffers defensively, but also suffers on the offensive end, he and Garland are too short in the backcourt, which is why the Cavaliers have been playing poorly in the playoffs, Garland played worse this game, scoring 5 points on 2-of-10 shooting, but friends who often follow the Cavaliers know that Garland can always play a decent performance when Mitchell is absent, because Garland is a big core with the ball, and he needs the ball.

This is not the first season that Mitchell has played so badly, last season's playoffs were targeted, averaging 23 points per game and shooting only 29% from three-point range, and his performance was also very spicy. Maybe seeing Mitchell now, the Cavaliers may regret the original trade, they used Markkanen, Sexton and Abaki, as well as three unprotected first-round picks, and two first-round trade swap picks to get Mitchell, and the result is a pseudo-star, the key is that Mitchell can't get so many chips now.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these two teams?
