On April 26, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Cleveland Cavaliers went to challenge the Orlando Magic away. In the first two rounds of the series, the Cavaliers punched hard to teach the young people of the Magic team, and the Magic team scored no more than 90 points in two consecutive games, and the Cavaliers had the upper hand 2-0! In the series G3, the Magic team took the initiative to change the formation and replaced Isaac with Carter as the starter. When the game came up, the Cavaliers played a perfect 10-3 start against the hosts, and the Magic team relied on a wave of three-point rain to stop the bleeding. Late in the first quarter, the Cavaliers fell into a scoring drought, and the Magic extended the margin to double digits in one fell swoop. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers were still sluggish, the Magic made a three-point shot, and the difference went straight to 20+, Mitchell stepped forward to stop the bleeding for the Cavaliers, but the Magic team became more and more courageous, winning by 19 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, expanding the difference to 30+ in one fell swoop, and the game entered garbage time early! In the end, the Magic team beat the Cavaliers 121-83 and rewrote the series score to 1-2.
The core roster of the Magic team is all playoff rookies, and the first two games of the series have paid enough for the young. Back at home to face the menacing Cavaliers, they were ashamed and brave, played a beautiful counterattack, cashed in the talent of "high speed and stability", and comprehensively suppressed the opponent inside and outside! After the whole game, the Magic team rebounded 51-32 to beat the Cavaliers, the fast break score 22-11 to crush the Cavaliers, and used the turnovers to score 19-10 to beat the Cavaliers, the Magic team shot 51.1% from the field, and threw in 13 three-pointers with a 35.1% shooting rate, in comparison, the Cavaliers shot only 39% in the sports , shooting just 23.5 percent from three-point range. The Magic pulled one back with a 38-point win, the biggest margin of victory in the playoffs this season, and the first time in 23 years that the Magic have won the playoffs at home.
The Magic team won heartily, and Banchero single-handedly blew up the Cavaliers' shortest two guns! In the first two games, the experienced Mitchell asked for military training Banchero, Banchero was inefficient and hesitant to attack, and contributed 15 turnovers in the two games; when he returned to his own turf, Banchero was ashamed and brave, and made good use of his height to name Mitchell and Garland, who became the team's oil bottle at both offensive and defensive ends, accumulating 8 of 26 shots (2 of 10 three-pointers), and teamed up to score 18 points and three turnovers! Banchero played a declaration game, clocking out in the third quarter, playing only 29 minutes, shooting 13 of 26 (4 of 9 three-pointers), 1 of 2 free throws, 31 points + 14 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 steal, 0 turnovers, and a plus/minus of +28. At the same time, Banchero broke a number of NBA records in one game.
According to statistics from the NBA's official website, Banchero is the youngest player in the history of the Magic team to score 30+ in the playoffs (21 years and 197 days), and the youngest player in the NBA to score at least 30 points + 10 rebounds + 0 turnovers in a single playoff game in the past 40 years (21 years and 197 days). In another statistic, Banchero is the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 30 points + 10 rebounds + 5 assists in a single playoff game before the age of 22, the first three being James (3 times), Doncic and Magic. What's more, Banchero is the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points + 10 rebounds + 5 assists in less than 30 minutes of playoff minutes, as much as Lao Zhan, Doncic and Magic have failed to do. I have to say, Banchero is too ruthless, and the future is terrifying!
For a young guard like the Magic, it is normal for people to be hammered in the first two games of the series, and there is no shame in them, but it is a surprise that they can make adjustments in a very short period of time! In particular, Banchero, as the core leader of the Magic team, treats others in his own way, this kind of learning ability and star temperament are really commendable, and he is very superstar-like! I also have to admire the draft vision of the Magic team, from O'Neal to Howard to Banchero, the champion they selected has never been watered! I look forward to Banchero continuing to work hard, the future is yours! Fans and friends, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
