Cavaliers Jedi Counterattack! 0 - 2 Down with a strong force to win back a game, and the suspense of the series suddenly arises

On the stage of the NBA playoffs full of passion and variables, the showdown of G3 in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals on May 10 is like a gripping legendary drama, immersing the fans in it and their blood is boiling. In the desperate situation of falling behind 0-2, the Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 126-104 with their tenacious fighting spirit and exquisite tactical arrangements, successfully tied the series score to 1-2, instantly reborn the suspense of the series, like a bombshell, setting off a wave of heated discussion in the basketball world. This game is of great significance and is by no means an ordinary victory. There are many key points worthy of in-depth analysis behind it.

All players returned to activate the Cavaliers' complete offensive and defensive system

Previously, the Cavaliers lagged behind the Pacers with 0-2, and the absence of core players became a key factor. In this game, it was like a magic weapon falling from the sky. Garland, Mobley and Hunter returned from injury. This change was like injecting a shot of a heart-warming shot into the Cavaliers, instantly allowing the team to return to their complete form.

Mobley's return is undoubtedly the return of the defensive gate for the Cavaliers' defensive system. He was like an indestructible fortress on the field, contributing 18 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks throughout the game, building a formidable and solid barrier in the interior. Under his tight defense, the offensive efficiency of Pacers inside core Turner and Siakam dropped significantly. Affected by this, the Pacers' rebounds were significantly behind 37-56, and the frontcourt rebounds were even more terrible, with only 4, which was in sharp contrast to the Cavaliers' 18. On the offensive end, Garland's return shared Mitchell's organizational pressure, making the team's offensive operation smoothly. Mitchell was able to put more energy into scoring, and he opened fire, scoring 43 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. His breakthrough was extremely sharp, tearing open the Pacers' defense line again and again like a sharp blade; his three-pointer even made a hundred steps through the bells and made a precise hit. Mitchell's outstanding performance has become the biggest contributor to the team's winning goal. Hunter, who came on the bench, also performed well, actively contributed on the defensive end, scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds. The healthy Cavaliers team, both in terms of strength and tactical richness, are completely different from before, showing strong competitiveness. The Pacers exposed their fatal shortcomings, and the tactical system was targeted to crack the strong performance of the Pacers in the first two games, making many fans and experts optimistic about their advancement. However, this game changed suddenly, and their shortcomings in relying too much on outside projection and non-external tactics were infinitely amplified.

Cavaliers coach Bickstaff keenly captured this point and adopted the "Twin Towers Infinite Defense Exchange" strategy. This tactic is like an accurate scalpel, strangling the Pacers' passing route. Under this tight defense, the Pacers' outside core Haliburton made only 2 of 8 shots in the game, and 0 of 1 of the three-pointers, scoring only 4 points and 5 assists. His best shot was blocked by Mobley many times, and his power was greatly reduced.

Not only that, the Pacers' inside defense is also full of loopholes, and Turner and Siakam cannot effectively limit the Cavaliers' inside attack. The Cavaliers seized this opportunity and frequently tried their best in the inside, and their second offensive scores far exceeded those of the Pacers. When the outside feels bad and the inside is blown up, the Pacers' offense is completely in trouble, with the three-point shooting percentage plummeting to 30%, and the offensive rhythm is completely disrupted. The suspense of the

series rekindled, and the winning and losing balance tilted

Before this game, everyone thought that the Pacers held the match point and advanced was almost certain. However, this big victory of the Cavaliers was like a sudden storm, completely changing the trend of the series and causing the balance of victory to begin to fluctuate.

The Cavaliers not only regained their long-lost confidence in winning with this victory, but more importantly, they found the right way to win in the game, and Mitchell's singles and team offense reached a good balance. Once this balance is maintained, it will become a powerful weapon for them in subsequent matches.

In contrast, walkers are now facing tremendous pressure. In the next game, they must quickly adjust their tactics to solve the problems of inside frame protection and outside stability. Otherwise, being reversed and eliminated is not an exaggeration. The next G4 will undoubtedly become a key turning point in the series between the two sides. Whoever can seize the opportunity in this game will take the initiative in this series. After this game, the entire basketball world was in full swing. I believe many fans are looking forward to the subsequent games. Can the Cavaliers complete a shocking reversal? What adjustments should the walker make to deal with it?
