641. Critical situation
Losing two games in a row, such a blow is not bad for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before they came to Miami, they never thought that they would lose two consecutive Eastern Conference Finals games at the Miami Heat's home court.
Even the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers Byron Scott, the worst estimate for these two games is that the Cleveland Cavaliers can win at least one game against the Miami Heat!
Then they were able to return from Miami to Cleveland with the advantage of at least one game! This was the worst result the Clevelanders could accept, and now, the situation is obviously much worse than they thought!
The Miami Heat won two consecutive games in their own home courts, and their performance was very strong, which is something that the Clevelanders cannot deny.
Otherwise, they would not have beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers by 13 points in the first game, and they were still in the anxious second game and finally won the game.
All of this caught the Cleveland Cavaliers off guard because of the strong performance of the Miami people and their own sluggish performance.
But in general, what makes the Clevelanders even more dissatisfied with the two games they lost lies in themselves!
If they can perform better in both games, especially in the second game, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be given a 2-0 total score in the playoffs by the Miami Heat at this time...
At the same time, if they performed better in the first game, they would not have lost to their opponents in the first game...
In short, although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost two games in a row, most of the reasons are that they still have to look for them.
Because they could have performed better than they are now, but their poor performance did not bring any help to themselves. This is the main reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers lost.
Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers still know that they lost two games in the opponent's home court in a row. This cannot be all their reasons. After all, the Miami Heat's performance in these two games was also very outstanding.
Otherwise, how would they defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in a row?
So after losing two games in a row, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they not only have to face their own problems, but also have to treat the Miami Heat's outstanding performance in these two games!
This is a question that cannot be avoided. If the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot treat these two issues correctly, then the next East District final will become even worse for them!
They must understand this point. After all, they have lost two consecutive games in this round of series. If they cannot adjust in the third game, then waiting for the results of the Cleveland Cavaliers will likely be a 3:0 disadvantage!
This is certainly not something they want to see. The Cleveland Cavaliers still hope to continue their championship dynasty, so if they fall behind in a series and give their opponents a 3-game gap, then even if the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed better than the Miami Heat, they have indeed eliminated the Miami Heat in the past two seasons of the playoffs.
But by that time, even with these favorable factors, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not be able to provide them with any help.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers must understand that they must make adjustments and changes as soon as possible. Because after the second game, Ma Shang moved to Cleveland to Cleveland for the Eastern Conference finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat.
At that time, if the Cleveland Cavaliers cannot make good things, then what awaits them will be a devastating blow! There is no doubt about this, let alone the time left for them to prepare. In fact, it is not too much.
After the second East District final between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, both sides will be able to get three days off, which means that on May 26, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat will play their third game in this round of the series!
Time is urgent. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have lost two consecutive games, there is not much time left for them. If they still cannot win the third game, then what they have to face will naturally be a very cruel fate!
Of course, they certainly would not want to face such a fate, because they hope to defend the champion, so this round of series cannot be a reason for them to stop moving forward.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after losing two consecutive games, their situation has not only become tense, they also need to understand more correctly how the Miami Heat are in their current state as their opponents!
Obviously, the Miami Heat, which has won two consecutive games, is in its current state, and people need to say more. As their opponent in the series, the Cleveland Cavaliers have fully appreciated their opponent's strength in the past two away games.
The Miami Heat showed in these two games obviously higher than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Otherwise, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not have lost to the Miami Heat, who was completely helpless in the playoffs in the past two seasons.
However, although the Cleveland Cavaliers have ended in a failed end in the past two games, for them, after these two games, the situation is not all one-sided bad news.
There is still good news for them. That is, after these two away games are over, the Cleveland Cavaliers will return to home to prepare for the game.
Being able to continue to compete with the Miami Heat in his home court is absolutely crucial for the Cleveland Cavaliers who lost the previous two away games!
The entire Cleveland Cavaliers understand this very well, so after returning to home, they naturally knew that they had to cheer up again.
When May 27 arrives, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to show a team that is completely different from the previous two games!
They can get unreserved support from the Cleveland Cavaliers fans in their home games, and by that time the pressure from the off-court will be less.
Moreover, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be disturbed by fans during the game. After the third game, the side that will really start to be disturbed should be the Miami Heat who will play away!
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, what they need to do is how to adjust their form. Otherwise, if the Cleveland Cavaliers are still in the previous two games and return to home to play the third game, then the result waiting for them may not be much different from the first and second games.
Moreover, in the second game, the Cleveland Cavaliers had already made progress. They were in a stalemate with the Miami Heat in the second game until the last minute before finally losing.
So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they only need to continue to make progress in the third game compared to the second game. Then they still have a good chance to win their first game in the Eastern Conference Finals at their home court!
This is not impossible. The gap in strength between the two sides is very small. And even if the subdivision is the better side, most people will definitely choose the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the defending champions of the league.
So in fact, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they still have the chance to win the game in this round of the series. But they need to know how to seize the opportunity!
This is the problem that the Cleveland Cavaliers need to solve most at the moment, because if they cannot solve their own problems well, they will not be able to get a very good situation even when the third game begins.
Because in this round of series, the Miami Heat, who have won two consecutive games, will definitely continue their outstanding form by then.
This alone is enough to make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel a headache. Losing two games in a row has brought a lot of big trouble to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They must solve these troubles as soon as possible, otherwise, waiting for the Cleveland Cavaliers may really be the failure of the third consecutive game!
This is not impossible. After all, the Miami Heat have won two consecutive games without countless people's disbelief. Before the start of this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, is anyone convinced that the Miami Heat can take a 2:0 lead in the first two games?
So, nothing is impossible.
