The biggest dark horse was born! Pacers eliminated the number one in the Eastern Conference 4-1, let Garland go! James is back

On May 14, the 5th battle between the Knights and the Pacers began. This game is a life-and-death battle for the Knights! If you lose, you will be eliminated!

The final result of the game has come out. The Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 105:117 and were eliminated, while the Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals! The Eastern Conference No. 1 Cavaliers were eliminated, which is also a big and small unpopular one.

Cavaliers achieved 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference!

Pacers achieved 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference!

Judging from the regular season record, the Cavaliers have 14 more wins than the Pacers. What does this mean? You should know that the Wizards, the last Wizards in the East, only won 18 games in the entire regular season! It is conceivable how strong the Knight is!

However, that sentence still came true. No matter how good the regular season record is, it cannot explain any problem. This round of the Cavaliers and the Pacers shows this problem!

In today's game, the Cavaliers have been forced to the edge of the cliff and are behind 1-3. Can the series continue? This is a hit!

In the first quarter, at the beginning of the game, both sides played equally, and the score could not be widened for a long time. When the game was 6 minutes old, Mitchell broke out, broke through continuously and fouled, scoring 4 goals, and then assisted Mobri to dunk. After that, he intercepted a one-stop and scored 8 points inside and outside. The Cavaliers widened the gap to more than 10 points. In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 31:19 by the Pacers.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers started and scored 5:0, and the score difference quickly reached 17 points. After that, the Pacers were in poor offensive form. The Cavaliers once widened the score difference to nearly 20 points, but after halfway through this quarter, Halliburton scored 4 consecutive three-pointers. Quickly catch up with the score. At the end of the half, the Cavaliers led the Pacers by 4 points 56:52.

In the third quarter, after the Cavaliers came up, the offense was silent, Halliburton and Siakam broke out, leading the Pacers to score a 33:20 score, overtaking the score difference to 9 points.

In the fourth quarter, Mitchell joined forces with Mobley to start chasing points, and with 4 minutes left in the game, he chased the gap to only 1 point. But at the critical moment, Hamd hit a 3-pointer, Halliburton hit a high board and added free throws, and the difference reached 7 points again. Finally, when the game was about to end, the Pacers opened the difference again, and the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers 114:105.

Cavaliers lost this year, and there was no excuse at all. In the first two games, Garland, Hunter, and Morris were missing, but in the last three games, several of them returned, but they still couldn't beat the Pacers. There was no excuse to tell!

So, what exactly is the problem with the Cavaliers? First of all, Garland's performance was very bad. He did not perform as expected, especially in today's game. After the first half, he played 4 of 16, seriously dragging the team down and was completely different from his regular season performance.

Secondly, the Cavaliers' offense relies more on individual singles. Taking today's game as an example, when the fourth quarter was about to be finished, the team had only 9 assists, while the Pacers had 25. There are only two people who can really score, one is Mitchell and the other is Mobley. No one else has any independent offensive ability. Garland has it, but he is in a bad state.

Finally, the Cavaliers had a very good record in the regular season. They played very easily in the regular season and did not have to play until the fourth quarter. Therefore, the team trained too little in the fourth quarter and how to solve the problem when they encountered difficulties. They trained too little in this regard.

In contrast, the Pacers, the starting 5 players, have independent offensive capabilities. The overall lineup thickness may not be as good as the Cavaliers, but the strongest 5 players are definitely stronger than the Cavaliers. In addition, the team has played many very stalemate games in the regular season, which has accumulated enough experience for the team to know how to play in difficult times!

Then after the Cavaliers lost this game, they were eliminated 4:1 by the Pacers. As the team ranked first in the East and second in the league, it can be said that this round of the series is a big upset, and the Pacers have also become the biggest dark horse.

The Cavaliers can only make a comeback next year. What the team needs to do the most is to let Garland leave. If it really doesn't work, get James. Mitchell is still missing a little bit as the boss of the team. Of course, he has no problem in scoring, but the problem is to unite the team and play the strength of the group, and he is almost intrigued! The team is talented enough now, but no one can stabilize the situation, and this is also James's specialty.

The last thing I want to say is to get James back, just let him play soy sauce in the regular season, and let him lead the team to fly in the playoffs.
