On May 4th, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs entered the closing stage, and the last group of first-round matchups in the East against the Cavaliers VS Magic officially started, with Mobley's key block, the Cavaliers who won the G5 Battle of Tianwang Mountain took the lead in getting the match point with a score of 3-2, fortunately, G6 was carried out on the home court of the Magic on the trailing side, and finally the young Magic did not waste the opportunity, defeating the Cavaliers 103-96 in the fierce grappling, and successfully dragged the series into a tie-break.

This series is also the first group of the NBA playoffs this season, and the fierce competition before the Knicks eliminated the 76ers 4-2 and the Pacers 4-2 Black Six Bucks.

The reason why the young Magic were able to withstand the pressure in the G6 life and death battle was entirely due to the proud performance of the team's three new stars.

Among them, Banchero was full of offensive firepower, playing 41 minutes and 50 seconds, shooting 9 of 20, scoring a team-high 27 points, plus 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

Wagner Jr., another forward duo, was also remarkable, shooting 7-of-16 and 11-of-11 free throws, providing top-level impact and lethality, handing over 26 points and 5 rebounds.

Suggs, who was plagued by injuries, also showed his talent in this game, shooting 6 of 13 from three-point range, scoring 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, he hit 6 three-pointers alone, while the Cavaliers only hit 7 three-pointers.

The performance of the three can be called "three British vs. Lu Bu", and this Lu Bu is Mitchell of the Cavaliers, who experienced the powerlessness of James in the past in G6.

Facing the multi-point flowering Magic team and the lost teammates next to him, Mitchell staged a lonely hero scene.

22 of the 36 in the game slashed 50 points, and the team scored 18 points in the final quarter, but the teammates next to him couldn't score a point, and the magic scored 30 points in the final quarter, and finally 50 points were reduced to empty cuts and regretted losing.

Mitchell gave it his all, making him the only active player to have delivered 50+ points in a single game three times in the playoffs.

Behind him are Lillard, Tatum and Murray, all of whom have twice delivered 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs.

Even in NBA history, Mitchell has finished in the top three, behind only Chamberlain (4) and Jordan (8).

In the face of Mitchell's explosive performance, the Cavaliers still lost the game, and fans posted back photos of James wearing a Cavaliers jersey to describe Mitchell's lonely hero and helpless state in this game.

The reason why the fans feel this way is entirely because the poor performance of the other young players of the Cavaliers is too uncompetitive.

Aside from Mitchell, no other player on the Cavaliers was able to score points in the final quarter, and Garland, the core of the backcourt, also made outrageous mistakes in the decisive moments.

With 2:56 left in the final quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by five points, and the two teams officially entered the decisive moment.

As a result, Garland advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and when no one led the defense, he couldn't take it for half a time, and finally there was an 8-second violation inexplicably.

This loss, coupled with Garland's such a bad mistake, obviously gave the Lakers a chance to poach.

After the first-round exit, the Lakers have embarked on a roster cleanup, decisively firing coach Darvin Ham and removing the entire coaching staff.

At the same time, the Lakers have also been revealed to be likely to pursue a Big Three, with Mitchell and Trae Young being two names that are frequently mentioned.

Before the trade deadline this season, the Lakers were exposed by CBS sports reporter Reiter during their pursuit of Murray the Hawks, and the Lakers were very hesitant to trade Murray.

On the one hand, Russell was on a hot page around the trade deadline, and the outside three-point contribution almost became a lifeline for the Lakers, and on the other hand, the Lakers believed that they would have a chance to get Mitchell this summer.

Mitchell has two years left on his contract, worth $35.41 million for the 24-25 season, and has a player option for the 25-26 season, and it is widely believed that Mitchell will leave the Cavaliers when the contract expires.

The reason is also simple, when he was initially forced to leave the Jazz, Mitchell wanted to join a big-market team, not the Cavaliers, who had a small-ball market and limited competitiveness.

If the Cavaliers are reversed from a 3-2 lead at one point this season, it will undoubtedly prompt Mitchell to accelerate his departure.

Compared to only one first-round pick to trade in the middle of the season, the Lakers' first-round picks will increase to three in the offseason.
