This is the league s number one coach? He led the team to the Eastern Conference Final for two consecutive years and trained three top point guards.

On May 14, the series between the Cavaliers and the Pacers ushered in a G5 match today. With Mitchell injured, the Cavaliers were not optimistic about winning the game. In the end, Mitchell burned out everything. He scored two three-pointers in the last 2 minutes to help the team chase to only 3 points, but his opponents Nemhard and Turner scored 6 points to kill the game suspense. In the end, the Cavaliers lost to their opponent 105-114, and the Cavaliers were swept by the gentleman.

As the first team in the Eastern Conference and won 64 wins in the regular season, they were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. I think there are two reasons for the Cavaliers losing in this round of the series. One is injury. Garland and Mobley missed due to injuries in the first two games of the series. They won the game in G3, but Mitchell was injured in G4, and Mitchell also fought with injuries in the fifth game. There is a saying in the playoffs that "the remaining ones are king", which means that which team is healthier, they have a better chance of winning the championship.

In this game, Mitchell still scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 steals with injuries. We can't seem to ask him to do more. As the second core of the team, Garland did not perform well. He shot 11 iron in 16 shots, scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and 5 mistakes. He couldn't defend himself without making any shots. Mobley also tried his best to score 24 points, 11 rebounds, and Allen scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. He had the ability but had no right to the ball. I think if the Cavaliers don't want to be just a regular season team, they should try to trade Allen and Garland and introduce suitable puzzles. The second reason for the Cavaliers' loss is that Carlisle completely beat Atkinson in rotation. Although Atkinson is the best coach of the season, his targetedness and on-the-spot adjustment ability in the playoffs are much worse than the old coach Carlisle. His opponent has two towers, and Carlisle also plays two towers. Carlisle can't get out of the way, so he lets Turner punish his opponent with three-pointers. In this round of the series, except Halliburton is the most critical.

If Atkinson chooses to use a small lineup to play the Pacers, they will suffer even more. Sika and Halliburton can use their excellent finishing ability to call Garland and attack the basket. Without the protection of the rim, the Cavaliers will be even more uncomfortable. Faced with the Cavaliers' defense, Carlisle has created a very excellent offensive system. If the opponent attacks Halliburton and Sika, other role players can stand up and score. If they choose to defend alone, Sika will punish them.

offense and defense are restricted. In the regular season, the Cavaliers' offense is also very good and they are blooming at multiple points. Why can't they play without Mitchell in the playoffs? The Pacers can make unlimited defense swaps. The Cavaliers' role players basically don't get too many opportunities. Moreover, the Cavaliers' role players are not like the Pacers' Nesmith, Nemhard, and Matherin. These people also have certain ball-holding offensive abilities. Hunter, Wade, and Struz of the Cavaliers are fixed-point shooters and cannot break the opponent's defense swaps.

defeated the Bucks in the first round without being optimistic, and was also 4-1. Carlisle brought his Pacers to the due respect. He did not have the excellent star lineup as the Celtics. He relied on his own cultivation ability to help the Pacers build a five-for-one system. Moreover, they also have Toppin, Tobbe, Mathering and McConaughey on their substitutes, which also allows the team to continue the five-for-one system even if they have a core ending.

Pacers have two excellent ball-holding cores, Halliburton and McConaughey, which also allows the team to control the rhythm on the court. Halliburton was just a blue-collar worker in the Kings, but was trained by Carlisle to become an All-Star, and he was one of the best backcourts to play in the playoffs so far. He had won two games, and his big heart attributes were fully displayed, and he was more than one star trained by Carlisle.

Doncic and Brunson were also trained by Carlisle. As soon as Doncic entered the league, he had the absolute ball rights to hold the ball with the big core. Carlisle asked him to make mistakes and let him learn to adapt to the pace of the NBA. In the end, Doncic played and was selected as the best defense in the second year of his career. However, Carlisle wanted him to downgrade and let him further evolve to learn to play without the ball. As a result, Doncic was unwilling. In the end, Carlisle lost to the Mavericks' future. In order to respect him, the team asked him to "resign" and leave the team with a decent choice. Although Doncic has played as a top star now, his defense and off-ball ability are indeed very average. If he had been working with Carlisle, Luca might have won the MVP now and now he has fallen into the situation of being traded by the Mavericks. Brunson was also deeply influenced by Carlisle back then. At that time, as the team's substitute organizer, he laid the foundation for becoming the core of the ball in the future. These two are point guards at the top five levels in the league.

Carlisle's ability to help King Nothing lead the team to win the championship alone shows his strength. He was called a tactical master in the traditional basketball era, and now he has learned the small ball system very well. After Bobo retired from the altar, perhaps compared to Spoul, this is the number one coach in the league, right? Having said that, what do you want to say about these two teams?
