Magic 48 seconds! The Cavaliers suffered an epic reversal and reached the top of the hot searches in the United States. US media criticized: This episode was watched in 2015

In the just-concluded NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G2, a shocking reversal comparable to a Hollywood script was staged! The regular season champion Cavaliers were at home, leading the Pacers by 20 points at one point, but collapsed in the last 48 seconds. They were overtaken by rising star Halliburton with a magical "1+3" kill (one of two free throws + self-grabbing rebound + three-pointer). What's even more ironic is that the Cavaliers fans were laughing at the defending champion Celtics for losing the game an hour ago. When their team turned around, they swallowed a 0-2 bitter fruit with 119-120, and instantly reached the top of the hot search in the United States.

Fatal 48 seconds, the Knight made 6 mistakes to ruin his victory. Struz served directly from the sideline and passed the opponent directly, the Pacers steal the fast break and chased the point; Mitchell made an offensive foul and gave up the ball; he lost three key rebounds in a row, of which Halliburton's own shot was the most fatal; coach Atkinson used up the timeout prematurely, resulting in the incoming "swipe" in the backcourt in the last 1.1 seconds. According to statistics from US media, when the Cavaliers led by 7 points, the winning rate was as high as 99.9%, but they were "made" by themselves and turned a historical turnaround.

This defeat reminded the US media of a classic case 10 years ago - a 60-year victory over the Hawks in 2015, also the number one in the Eastern Conference, but was swept out by the Cavaliers led by James in the playoffs, becoming synonymous with the "pseudo-strong team". The Cavaliers are now behind 0-2, exactly the same as they were back in the past:

• Team basketball failure: The system of 6 players in regular season scored in double digits has become a lone song of Mitchell scoring 48 points alone;

• Defensive collapse: The defense, known as the 8th in the league, has been averaged 123 points per game by the Pacers in the last two games;

• Role player disaster: Jerome, with an annual salary of 12 million, made 14 shots, with a plus-minus value of -19 becoming the "No. 1 war criminal".

23-year-old Halliburton was awarded the title of God in this battle, and he won 11 points + 5 rebounds in the last quarter, replicating the miracle of the 2016 Irving Finals. What's even more slap in the face is that he was anonymously voted by NBA players as the "most overrated star", but responded strongly with two consecutive rounds of winning series. In contrast, although Mitchell broke the team's history record (the third time in the playoffs, 40+), 21 free throws exposed the shortcomings of "magic ballization". He was overdrawn in his physical fitness and showed fatigue after making 1 of 6 shots in the last quarter.

Historical data shows that the probability of a team behind 0-2 is only 7%. What's even more cruel is that the next two games will be moved to the Pacers at home - their home winning rate this season is 75%, and they average 124 points per game. If the Cavaliers repeat the mistakes of the Hawks in 2015, this 64-win "regular season overlord" may face a core disintegration crisis.
