The second round of the Celtics and Cavaliers began, and as far as this round is concerned, basically no one is optimistic about the Cavaliers, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big. Judging from the effect of the first game, the Cavaliers just kept sending, and the pace of the game was quite fast, and they lost by 25 points in the end, and they had nothing to do. If you want to talk about this game, there are also some points of analysis. The robbery of the seven kings fell violently, Tanhualang went crazy, the new version of the 5 giants was released, and one person could give a big contract.
As everyone knows, the Cavaliers were the only team to play a tie-break in the first round, and they were a complete tie-breaker. However, in the face of the huge gap in strength, the Seven Kings could only accept the result of losing and fell down. Mitchell played well, 33 points, 5 assists and 6 Rambo really tried his best. But the rest of the teammates couldn't say anything, and this time they really couldn't take it. Garland had 14 points, Okoro had 11 points, Mobley had 15 points, and the rest of the players didn't score double-doubles.
Let's talk about the Celtic side, with Porzingis injured, they formed a new Big Five, and a new starting Big Five came out. Tatum, as the nominal boss of the team, to be honest, didn't play very well, and it was a bit of a regression. Tatum didn't shoot efficiently, hitting just 7 of 19 shots and finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Tatum's three-point shot is very confusing, and this time it is 0 of 5, but fortunately, there are teammates to cover it.
The other scout, Brown, is crazy and much more efficient than Tatum. Brown hit 12 of 18 shots and finished with 32 points, six rebounds and two assists. In this game, Brown was the biggest back-up player, and it can be said that he erased Tatum's inefficient shooting. For the Celtics, if they want to get things done this year, Brown must shoot 50%+ per game given Tatum's habitual poor shooting efficiency.
We'd also praise White for being really useful. White was a three-point gun in this game, hitting 7 of 12 outside shots, which made the Cavaliers quite uncomfortable. At the end of the game, White had 25 points and 5 assists. Judging from the effect of the game, White has become the team's de facto second. I have to say, White is really easy to use. Next, after White's contract expires, it is not impossible to give a big contract, after all, it is now the best contract in the league.
Of course, players like Holiday are also the type to pay silently. In fact, in the lineup of Green Kai, the biggest sacrifice is Holiday . Holiday can give up possession and can do defensive things. Therefore, sometimes the panel data does not reflect the value of Holiday . In addition, after Horford entered the starter, he also deserved praise, played quite well, and did not cause trouble to the rest of the players, and contributed a lot to this game.
In fact, as far as this series is concerned, there is basically no suspense, it is a matter of sweeping or gentlemanly sweeping. Maybe in the last round, Mitchell alone could lead the team to advance with his personal strength, but not in this round. For the Cavaliers, in fact, their rebuilding is incomplete, Garland can't support the team, and the backcourt dual-core play also has great shortcomings. The Cavaliers are also tool men on the inside, without the strength of Embiid and Jokic.
Let's look at the next games, whether the Cavaliers can improve a little, and if it is not this kind of big loss, the playoffs will be played like the regular season, there is no difficulty.
