The second place you get the second place! The Cavaliers make a lot of money! Congratulations to Mitchell, are you no longer "afraid" Halliburton?

Why was the Cavaliers, who were the best in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, easily eliminated by the Pacers 4:1 in the semifinals?

For this, I think there are two explanations.

First, offensive. In the Heat's series, Garland's real shooting rate was 67.8%, but it dropped to 47.6% for the Pacers. In other words, the Cavaliers lacked one scoring point.

Second, defense. In the 5-game series against the Cavaliers, the Pacers averaged 117.6 points per game, which is the highest in the four-round series. Speaking of this, I have to mention Halliburton. In the series against the Cavaliers, Halliburton's real shooting rate was 67.0% and assist rate was 31.4%. In short, the Pacers have a net better score of 7.4 points in a 100-round finish while they are on the court.

With one attack point missing, and it is not surprising that the Knight is swept by the gentleman. What are the offensive characteristics of Halliburton?

First, Halliburton's three-point shooting in the Cavaliers accounted for 51.2% of the shooting rate in the lower 45.8%; secondly, 41.5% of the three-point line took the ball and picked and roll, and 1.10 points per round was better than 81% of the players.

In other words, three-pointers and pick-and-roll are Halliburton's main ending methods. Of course, we can also understand that the Cavaliers do not have these two resources to defend, so that the team was easily eliminated.

Speaking of this, the Cavaliers still aim to win the championship in the new season, and how to pass Halliburton's level is the top priority. I mean, Garland's offensive form can be adjusted but the defensive resources cannot be solved internally.

According to the NBA China official website, the Cavaliers exchanged Ocorro from the Bulls for Langzo Ball.

Regional season, Ocorro's 1053 minutes on the court had a net victory of 4.4 points in 100 rounds, and the team's 12.8 points in 100 rounds in 2898 minutes on the court. The difference of -8.4 indicates that Okoro has little effect on the Cavaliers. In contrast, Ball scored 12.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks every 36 minutes.

Of course, the premise is to stay healthy. But the problem is that Okoro is also a disease--the 55 appearances in the regular season are the lowest in his career.

How effective is Ball's defense against Halliburton?

Regular season, Ball and Halliburton made 3 of 8 shots against each other in 9 minutes and 06 seconds, which is one of them. Second, in terms of pick-and-roll defense, Ball can limit his opponent's scoring efficiency to 0.81 points/round (better than 81.6% of the league's players).

Obviously, Ball still has a good defensive effect just for Halliburton. Based on this, congratulations to Mitchell, it is largely due to the fact that the team is no longer "fearing" Halliburton after having Ball. Of course, the same thing Ball must stay healthy.

In addition, Ball is the second best, and the Cavaliers can get it by changing it alone, which in my opinion is also a big profit.

Reason 1: Contract. Although Ball still has two years and 20 million contracts, the last year is the team option. In other words, if the injury cannot be effectively overcome, you can give up. On the other hand, Okoro is a two-year contract without options.

Reason 2: That is, combat power. As I said just now, Ball's restriction of Halliburton was effective, but Ocorro didn't help the team much. There are also hidden dangers of injury, and it is obvious that the former will help the team more quickly.

To sum up two points, "big profit" is reflected in the fact that Ball's cost-effectiveness is higher than that of Okoro. In addition, the former contract is easier to deal with than the latter. For this reason, I think the Cavaliers' deal is not a loss. With Ball's joining, the Cavaliers may really be able to touch the championship in the new season. Here, I wish Ball and Okoro good luck.
