Cavaliers lost 20 points! Mi Shen s injury update, Carlisle defeated Atkinson, Pacers are underestimated

NBA playoffs continue, with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers ushering in the fourth leg. At the game, the Pacers took advantage of the home court to attack hard, and the Cavaliers were stunned. The Pacers scored 38 points in a single quarter, establishing a double-digit lead early. In the second quarter, the Cavaliers' offensive end was completely silent. The Pacers seized the opportunity to make a bigger difference in singles and scored another 42 points, widening the gap to 41 points in one fell swoop. After the change of sides, Mitchell did not appear due to injury. Even though the Cavaliers seized the Pacers' opportunity to relax and scored 38 points in a single quarter, the Pacers still firmly controlled the lead of more than 20 points, and the game lost the suspense early. In the end, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 109-129.

Pacers lost two consecutive games away, but returned to the first game at home but were beaten by the Cavaliers. They led 2-1 but did not dare to be careless at all! Faced with the fierce Eastern Overlord, the Pacers' army used their lives to complete their achievements in one battle, and prepared well on both ends of offense and defense. They used their own ways to cure their bodies and destroyed the first defense line in the eastern part with wave-like attacks. Especially in the first half, the Pacers sent 25 assists, setting a record high in the history of the NBA playoffs with assists; in contrast, the Cavaliers had only 3 assists in the halftime, but the number of mistakes was as high as 14. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were defeated! The Pacers took 41 points to lead in just halftime, which also tied the NBA playoff half-game record set by the Cavaliers in 2017.

Cavaliers suffered a 20-point defeat, losing their wife and losing their troops, and the team leader Mitchell retired in injury. In the previous two battles, Mitchell started the Killing God mode and scored 40+ consecutively, which is also the reason why many people are optimistic about the Knights being able to change their fate against the will of heaven. In this game, Mitchell played 22 minutes in the first half, 3 of 11, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and only scored 12 points + 1 rebound + 1 steal + 1 block. What's even more unfortunate is that Mitchell came to the court to warm up early during the break, but was injured when he was not in a confrontation and had to return to the locker room for examination. Jerome replaced Mitchell and started in the second half. Subsequently, Cavaliers reporter Ethan Sands updated the report on Mi Shen's injury. He not only suffered from a calf strain, but also suffered from a left ankle injury. After the game, Cavaliers coach Atkinson said: Mitchell will undergo an MRI examination on his left ankle tomorrow; Mi Shen himself made a harsh statement: I will be fine, see you next game.

From G3 in the series, G3 suffered a 22-point defeat to G4 in the series, the Pacers fought a beautiful turnaround and defended their home court. Carlisle defeated Atkinson completely, showing the charm that a generation of tactical masters should have! According to statistics, this is Carlisle's 33rd playoff victory in his Pacers' coaching career, surpassing Bird (32 games) to rank first in team history. The Pacers speeded up with all their might, carrying the bombardment to the end, and counterattacked with three-pointer arrows as if raining. Especially when facing the Cavaliers' small lineup, Carlisle let Toping and Sika use their size advantage to hit the basket, which has been tried and done, and has resolved the Cavaliers' joint defense in all aspects. On the other hand, when the Pacers pressed the Cavaliers to the ground to rub, when the Pacers made a pick-and-roll in the inside, Atkinson seemed to be a spectator on the sidelines, without any adjustments, and even hesitated to call a timeout. The Pacers' strong battle rewrites the series score to 3-1, and the situation is very good. According to statistics, the team that led 3-1 in the NBA history has a final record of 280 wins and 13 losses, with a probability of promotion exceeding 95%. The Cavaliers boss shouted after the game: It's time to win three games in a row to reverse, we've done this before! But then again, considering that Garland, Mitchell, and Mobley Jr. are injured in the Cavaliers, it is not easy for them to turn over! More importantly, this Pacers team has many soldiers and is good at fighting tough battles, and they are really seriously underestimated. Considering that the Cavaliers are at the end of their power, the Knicks and the Celtics are hurting each other, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pacers finally rushed out of the East! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
