1-3 behind, the number one in the East was forced into a desperate situation! There are three bad news that make people worry

The playoffs continued, with various reversals one after another. The Warriors were defeated by the Timberwolves in a row. The Nuggets were tied 2-2 by the Thunder at their home court. The Nuggets, who scored only 8 points in a single quarter, set countless records. The Celtics and the Cavaliers recovered a game when they were behind 2-0. They thought it was a Jedi counterattack, but no one expected that the fourth game for the Cavaliers was the darkest moment in the playoffs so far.

The first quarter game came, Halliburton scored and connected his teammates in a bad performance in the last game. After a brief struggle, the Cavaliers came to the Pacers' performance time. For more than four minutes, the Cavaliers did not score in a sports battle, and many of them were 9 points behind the Pacers. It was obvious that the Pacers did not intend to let the Cavaliers go. In the first quarter, the Pacers made 14 of 26 shots, and the Cavaliers made only 4 of 15 shots. The Cavaliers fell 15 points behind in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Siakam scored 8 points in a row and continued to expand the gap. The Cavaliers only rely on the stars to create sporadic layups, but the Pacers could not stop them at all. They were both inside and outside and stopped the Cavaliers many times. The Cavaliers only scored 16 points in a single quarter, and the Pacers scored 42 points. In just halftime, the Cavaliers made 14 mistakes, which directly caused the tragedy of 41 points behind in the halftime.

There was no suspense in the following second half, and in the end the Pacers brought the lead to the end of the game. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers 129-109. To be honest, if the Pacers had not relaxed their vigilance in the end, the score difference in this game might have been beyond imagination. After the too large score difference, the data can no longer reflect the process of the game. Perhaps the Cavaliers' 22 mistakes are the most core weakness.

For the Cavaliers, they are now on the verge of life and death. Although the playoffs are not over yet, the Cavaliers are facing serious problems now. First of all, there has been a serious change in their mentality. The only game the Cavaliers won was the game Mitchell won with excellent data. We cannot expect Mitchell to play such data in every game. The role players cannot help share the pressure, which is the key to the Cavaliers losing all the time.

The second is the impact of Mitchell's injury. After the first half, Mitchell was affected by injury and did not participate in the second half. It is reported that Mitchell is not only a calf strain, but also faces the injury of his left ankle. I believe that Mitchell will definitely play with an injury in the next game, but the balance of victory has tilted towards the Pacers. In fact, this is the hidden danger laid by the regular season. It has clearly ensured the record of the first place in the Eastern Conference, but has been over-consuming the main players. In this round of series, health risks may be the key to losing.

The Cavaliers are 1-3 behind, although it is not a desperate situation, among the teams that are 1-3 behind in history, 95% of the teams have been eliminated. Will the Cavaliers be that lucky? In fact, when the Cavaliers face the Pacers, they have a natural disadvantage, that is, the back line is too short and the defensive disadvantage is too great. If Mitchell can make up for his shortcomings with offense, and with Garland, this point will be too easy to be targeted by the opponent. With Mitchell's explosion, the Pacers' defense is constantly increasing, and the role players cannot provide help, the Cavaliers have become the situation now. The natural flaws of the

lineup, coupled with Mitchell's injury and the inability of role players to provide more help, are the reasons why the Cavaliers fail. Although the Cavaliers still have a chance, from the current situation, this opportunity is very slim.
