On May 5, the second round showdown between the Cavaliers and the Pacers was like a thrilling adventure, full of ups and downs, and Mitchell's performance became the most dazzling but regretful existence in this game. At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers seemed to be trapped in a trap carefully arranged by the Pacers. The Pacers' defense is like a solid city wall, blocking the Cavaliers' offense again and again. Mitchell ran actively on the court, trying to lead the team to break through. In the first quarter, he scored 9 points with his flexible footsteps and sharp breakthroughs, but what is worrying is that there is a problem with his passing organization. The 0 assists data is like a heavy stone, pressing on the team's offensive system. At this time, the Cavaliers were like a ship that lost its direction in the storm, losing steadily under the Pacers' offensive, falling 11 points behind. At the end of the half-time game, Mitchell had already scored 15 points and 2 assists, but the team was still in a situation of falling behind. Every breakthrough and every shot he made on the court was like a glimmer of light flashing in the darkness. Although he worked hard, he failed to illuminate the team's path forward. The Pacers are like a group of dancers who cooperate with each other, dancing on the court. Their defense and offense seem to be easy, making it difficult for the Cavaliers to resist. In the third quarter, Mitchell finally ushered in an explosion. He was like a awakened lion, showing strong attack power on the court. In a single quarter, he made 3 of 8 shots and 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Facing the attack of the Pacers, he was like an agile cheetah, passing through the middle and completing a one-arm buckle. This wonderful moment not only ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, but also narrowed the gap between the two teams by 1 point. Subsequently, after coach Carlisle's timeout adjustment, Mitchell continued to lead the team to launch a fierce attack, helping the Cavaliers take the lead. At the end of the third quarter, Mitchell had scored 27 points. His performance was like a dazzling meteor, a bright light passing through the dark night sky.
However, Mitchell's outside feel has not been turned on. In the 26-minute game in three quarters, he made 10 of 24 shots, made only 1 of 10 three-pointers, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 10%. Just like a sharpshooter suddenly lost his sight, his outside shooting became a shortcoming in the team's offense. Despite his excellent performance in other aspects, the sluggish three-point shooting has affected the team's offensive firepower. In the last quarter of the game, the situation suddenly changed. While Mitchell was resting, the Cavaliers once overtook the score, which allowed fans to see the dawn of victory. However, when Mitchell returned to the field, the team's defense suddenly collapsed. The Pacers players were like a group of hungry wolves, launching a crazy counterattack. Nembhard made two three-pointers, Halliburton also made a three-pointer, Toppin was not willing to be outdone and made a shot from outside the three-point line. The Pacers' three-pointer fell like a raindrop, directly widening the gap. Mitchell missed two breakthroughs, and as the score gradually got pulled apart, his face showed an anxious look. At this time, the Pacers had already led by 10 points with 2 and a half points left, and the balance of the game began to tilt towards the Pacers. Although Mitchell finally found a chance to score a dunk, the game had lost its suspense at this time, just like a ship that had already been tilted, it would be difficult to restore balance no matter how hard it was.
After the game, Mitchell played for 34 minutes, made 13 of 30 shots, 1 of 11 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws, scoring 33 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. His shooting percentage is 43.3%, his three-point shooting percentage is only 9.09%, and his plus-negative value is -19. Although he scored high scores, he could not hide the fact that the team lost. After this game, Mitchell's career G1 has 30+ games in 8 consecutive games, surpassing Jordan and enjoying the first place in history, but has swallowed the milestone. After the
, the heat of discussion on this game on the Internet quickly heated up. Some people praised Mitchell's fighting spirit in the game and believed that his performance at critical moments was worthy of recognition; some people criticized the team's defensive system for loopholes, which led to the Pacers' score being pulled apart in the final quarter. All kinds of opinions collide on social media, like a fierce debate.
