"Scareful data! The Cavaliers made 35 points with 22 mistakes. Can they still turn the tables after falling behind 1-3?"

"Two mistakes were sent in one game, which is equivalent to giving away 35 points for the opponent for free - this is the answer given by the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals G4! The score was 1-3 behind, Mitchell retreated in injury, can they still replicate the reversal miracle? The Pacers held the match point, but the historical data sentenced the Cavaliers to the death penalty..."

Mitchell broke through
Core argument 1: The mistakes became a disaster, and the Cavaliers destroyed the Great Wall
In this game, the Cavaliers made up 22 mistakes, 12 more than the Pacers, and directly allowed the opponent to score 35 points through the mistakes. What's more ironic is that the Cavaliers' assists (20) are actually less than the turnovers, while the Pacers play the smooth team basketball with 37 assists. The fans shouted: "Where is this the playoffs? It's simply a mistake teaching scene!"
Core argument 2: The double towers are invisible, the core score roller coaster
Inside double towers Mobley and Allen scored only 12 points in total, with the plus and negative values as low as -27 and -24, and they were completely lost on both ends of offense and defense. The performance of the main controller Garland fluctuated even more "rollercoaster": the first quarter score was 7.2 points, and the third quarter plummeted to 3.7 points due to continuous mistakes. Although he finally scored 21 points, he could not hide his loss at the critical moment. Netizens joked: "Is Garland treating the playoffs as a highlight show of personal mistakes?"

Core argument 3: Historical spells and tactical dilemma
Pacers were never reversed when they were leading 3-1 in history, and the Cavaliers' 1-3 behind in the playoffs in the past five years has zero winning rate. What's even more fatal is that the Cavaliers' unpredictable data of only 3 assists and 14 turnovers in the first half exposed the stubborn problem of single tactics and relying on singles. Although the head coach emphasized that "defensive communication is needed", after the adjustment of the suspension rules, Atkinson's on-the-spot dispatching ability has been repeatedly questioned.
Personal opinion: The Cavaliers need to break three levels when turning around
1. Control errors: reduce unnecessary passes and improve team collaboration efficiency;
2. Activate the inside: The two towers must regain the frame protection and pick-and-roll threat;
3. Psychological toughness: Mitchell's injury retreat has a huge impact on the team. The leader needs to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army in the face of the wind.
Conclusion:
"From the Warriors' dynasty to the rise of the Nuggets, the NBA has always been without miracles, but if the Cavaliers want to change their fate against the will of heaven, they must completely awaken from this 'eye-scam' defeat. Will the life-and-death battle on May 14 witness history or be eliminated unfortunately? Let's wait and see!"
