It is impossible to get 40+ in every game. If the Cavaliers are going to suffer a crushing defeat if the star declines in their form?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, rebounded strongly and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1, winning the match point of this round of series, while the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and were far ahead in their record, were in big trouble.

In this game, the performance of the Cavaliers' backcourt core Donovan Mitchell was actually very unsatisfactory. Mitchell played 20 minutes and 15 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 5 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 12 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block. There were 2 mistakes, with a plus-negative value of -35. Mitchell has a poor feel on the offensive end and has not shown his scoring ability. His efficiency on the offensive end is also a little worse. Mitchell has no passing ability or organizational ability, and his ability on the defensive end is inherently very limited. Mitchell did not play in the second half due to injury, which directly led to the team's further loss of control in the situation. As the core figure of the team, Mitchell did not show his strength on both offense and defense, which directly led to such a crushing defeat by the team.

In the NBA regular season this season, Mitchell played a total of 71 games in 82 games, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, averaging 24 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and free throw shooting percentage was 82.3%. In the playoffs, Mitchell averaged 31.3 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 28.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 46.2%, three-point shooting percentage 33.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 75%.

Chel scored 30+ in the previous three games and 40+ in the previous two games. His condition is indeed quite good. His influence on the game is really outstanding. He simply relies on his own efforts to deal with the entire opponent team. However, if a team has to rely on the 30+ and 40+ performance of the star in every game to maintain sufficient competitiveness, it is inevitable that this team will face difficulties or even be eliminated in the playoffs. I don’t know what Mitchell’s injury will be next, but no matter what, one thing is certain. If other Cavaliers players cannot take on more tasks, then the Cavaliers will not be far from being eliminated.
