The 12th Red and Black List: The Knights family leaked everywhere, and the Thunder and the Nuggets fed each other!

The NBA games are many good shows, I will talk about daily games. On May 12, the NBA ushered in two games. Mitchell injured and retired the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers. The Thunder narrowly defeated the Nuggets to tie the overall score. This column will take you to see the NBA's red and black list.

Cavaliers' loss was hanging on the line

Cavaliers 109 to 129 Pacers

The injury caused by Mitchell's midfield shooting warm-up caused the Cavaliers' defeat, because even when he was able to play normally before, the Cavaliers were already behind their opponents with a big score. Since the playoffs, the Cavaliers seem to have formed a "path dependence" on their regular season success, that is, in most games, they can take away the victory of the game with good internal and external cooperation and the talent of the players. When they occasionally encounter some tough opponents, they hope to solve the problem by the explosion of Mitchell's personal offense. The series of the first round with the Heat seemed to strengthen their belief, so when the intensity of the game suddenly increases, the Cavaliers may seem at a loss overall.

In contrast, their opponent Pacers showed top-level adaptability. After the slump in the last game, Halliburton, the core of the Pacers, still performed poorly, but the Pacers' tactics richness and the tacit understanding of the players can make them quickly and make the most favorable decisions. The Pacers scored 7 players in double digits in the game, and Siakam and Turner's three-pointers even shot 100% shooting percentage, completely surpassing the Cavaliers in terms of toughness and players' willpower. As a favorite to win this season, the Cavaliers have already reached a point where their lives are hanging on the line after losing three games in the big score.

Whether the game is ugly or not does not matter, winning is the most important thing

Thunder 92 to 87 Nuggets

The overall offense of the two teams in this game is "extremely ugly": both sides' shooting percentages and three-point shooting percentages are less than 40% and 30% respectively, Alexander made all the shots from the outside for five outside shots, and Jokic's three-pointers with 2 of 8 shots are also far below his normal level. According to statistics, the total shooting percentage of both sides of the two sides is the lowest single game in the playoffs in 21 years. And behind this is the manifestation of the fight between the two sides on the defensive end after knowing themselves and their opponents.

Faced with the top running and jumping team, the local suppression of the opponent caused by the Nuggets' body advantage in the first round no longer exists, and Alexander's own singles attacking mode also makes the Nuggets' defensive system feel at a loss. In this case, the Thunder substitute three players scored in double digits and finally made the victory balance fall towards them. After the total score reached 2-2, the two teams came to the same starting line again. The competition of willpower may become the most important factor in determining the direction of the series. This intense force is to some extent a continuation of the battle between two top players, Alexander and Jokic, the most valuable players in the regular season.
