On April 28, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Cavaliers and Magic ushered in the fourth game of the series, this round of the series is estimated to be the most unnoticed game in the entire playoffs, after all, the two teams seem to have a lot of differences in strength on paper, although the Magic have a lot of talent, but after all, they are too young and are still rookies in the playoffs, so they are not optimistic to advance, even if they beat the Cavaliers by 38 points in the last game.

Lose 61 points in two games! In the regular season, deliberately losing and picking the opponent to dig their own graves, the four cores may be eliminated by the next gram

But after today's game, maybe everyone's view of the Magic has changed, today the Magic defeated the Cavaliers again 112-89, and the score of the two sides came to 2-2, although it is only back to the same running line, but now the psychological and other aspects are obviously dominated by the Magic, after all, they have won the Cavaliers by a total of 61 points in the past two games, and being able to lose so much also shows that there is a significant gap between the two teams.

We won't say much about the game, the Cavaliers still led in the first half, but in the third quarter, the Magic won by 27 points in a single quarter. The Cavaliers are a team with three All-Stars in their prime, and Mobley will inevitably be All-Stars in the future, so why did they lose to the Magic in two consecutive games?

Although Mitchell often plays a furious performance in the regular season, he is afraid of targeting, in the playoffs his height of 1.85 meters is too short to play the No. 2 position, and it is easy to be limited at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he scored 18 points, 6 assists and 6 turnovers on 5 of 14 shots in this game, and scored 13 points on 16 shots in the last game.

Because Mitchell is the first core of the team, this also makes Garland have no ball, Garland as a player with the ball core play, it is difficult for him to play value without the ball, this game he shot 5 of 11, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 14 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, friends who often watch Cavaliers games should be able to find a problem, that is, when Mitchell is absent, Garland will play well, and the team's record is also excellent.

The two backcourt functions conflict, and they are both 1.85 meters small This also destroys the team's defensive system, the team's defense relies on their two interior gates, the team mainly plays the twin towers, and the good record in the regular season is because of the top frame protection of the twin towers, but after the start of the playoffs, their twin towers have no space ability and are also targeted by the opponent, as long as the defense is contracted, their twin towers will not be able to exert their full strength.

Allen got 21 points and 9 rebounds on 8-of-11 shooting, Mobley got 14 points and 9 rebounds on 6-of-13 shooting, Mobley deliberately developed a three-point projection in the near future, but after all, it was just developed, and he couldn't take it at all in the playoffs.

Speaking of the regular season, this season the Cavaliers had a chance to reach the top two in the East, but they were afraid of meeting the 76ers and the Heat, so they also deliberately lost at the end of the regular season, when they and the Bucks were deliberately losing, and even the last game of the regular season The Cavaliers also deliberately played the Bucks, originally the Bucks wanted to deliberately lose the Magic, they wanted to rank fourth to challenge the fifth Magic, but the Cavaliers deliberately lost to the underdog Hornets, the Cavaliers ranked fourth, the Bucks ranked third, they replaced the Bucks, to challenge the Magic.

I thought that in the face of a playoff rookie like the Magic, the Cavaliers could easily advance to the second round, but before the start of the playoffs, the outside world also thought so, thinking that the Cavaliers could solve the battle within 5 games, but the Cavaliers still overestimated their ability, although the Magic team is young, but their defense is very terrifying, they are one of the best defensive teams in the league in the regular season, although their offense is not good, but the defense is too suffocating.

So far in the playoffs, the Cavaliers have not scored more than 100 points in a game, and the last two games have not exceeded 90 points, you must know that the Cavaliers have averaged 112.6 points per game in the regular season, and the team's offensive efficiency is also seventh in the league, and the playoffs have averaged 91.3 points per game so far, and the offensive efficiency is the first among the 16 teams.

Now, the Magic are obviously the side with a better chance of qualifying, they seized on the Cavaliers' soft underbelly, to go crazy against Mitchell and their interior, and although the young team lacks experience in the playoffs, as long as they let them win, the team will be able to find confidence, and then it will be more difficult to limit, look at the Thunder, after narrowly beating the Pelicans in the first game of the playoffs, they found confidence, and the result is also a big win over the Pelicans by 53 points in the last two games. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current knights and magic?
