The number one in the East is in a desperate situation! The boss uses 16 years of miracles to inspire the team. Can the Cavaliers perform a big reversal?

In the NBA regular season this season, the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers amazed all fans. Without superstars, they achieved an impressive record of 64 wins and 18 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference standings, surpassing the defending champion Boston Celtics, entering the playoffs with the first place in the division, becoming one of the biggest favorite candidates for the Eastern Conference champions.

But in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the performance of the Cavaliers surprised everyone fans. After the first four games, they were already in a desperate situation of falling behind 1-3 with a big score. After losing Indiana at a 20-point disadvantage, Cavaliers owner Gilbert encouraged the team: "It's time to win three consecutive games to reverse, we have done it before!"

The Cavaliers owner refers to the only 1-3 finals in NBA history. In the NBA Finals in 2016, after the first four games of the Cavaliers, the Warriors won the championship point 3-1. Just when the fans were optimistic about their prospects for winning the championship, LeBron James and Drew Uncle Kyrie Irving, who were at their peak, led the Cavaliers to win three consecutive games and won the first championship trophy in team history.

But it is almost impossible for the Cavaliers to replicate the miracle of 16 years. The most important reason is that they lack the top super giants in the league and do not have the leader players who can stand up and score at critical moments to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, the biggest gap between the regular season and the playoffs is that the defense is more targeted. When the team's other scoring points are locked, the team's core needs to stand up and complete the end.

Although Mitchell, the team's first scoring point, has good personal data, and can average 28.9 points per game, ranking fifth in the league in scoring per game, he does not have the ability to solve problems. The reason is that he does not have enough static talent. After the fourth game, the US media compared Mitchell, who had never stood on the floor of the division finals for eight years in the playoffs, and compared it with Embiid, which is enough to prove that there is a big gap between Mishen and the top super giant.

Mitchell, who is only 1.85 meters tall, has natural shortcomings. If you want to shoulder the banner of offensive end, you must play the threat of your own breakthrough. However, in the playoffs that are more confrontational, it is not only very difficult to score high scores in every game by breaking through, but it will also greatly increase the risk of injury. In the fourth game against the Pacers, Mitchell was injured while warming up in the midfield and directly withdrew from the game in the second half without appearing to help the team.

Even if Mitchell is able to play in the best state in the next game, it will be difficult for him to lead the Cavaliers to replicate the miracle of 16 years. In addition to being unable to guarantee that he scores high scores in every game, there is another problem that cannot be ignored, that is, his lack of height has caused his natural disadvantage on the defensive end.

In addition, the Pacers, who already hold the match point, have completely suppressed the Cavaliers in terms of momentum. Under such circumstances, no team is fully confident and can defeat the Pacers in three consecutive games, not to mention that this Cavaliers who have not proved themselves in the strong dialogue in the playoffs.

Judging from the current situation, the Cavaliers are likely to stop in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Despite this, the potential and ability of this team cannot be ignored. However, if you really want to become a championship-level team, they need to introduce a league super giant through big deals.
