Scoring 91 points, Mitchell s injury scene was exposed, and after watching it, I suddenly realized that the Cavaliers miss James extremely

On May 12, the scene of Mitchell being accidentally injured without physical contact was made public, which is deeply worrying. Through this video, it is not difficult to understand why the Cavaliers are so reluctant to leave James' departure.
At present, the Cavaliers have lagged behind the Pacers 1:3 in the series, and have suffered a tragic defeat at the opponent's home court, and there is almost no hope of a comeback. Although the Cavaliers have had a feat of reversing in a 1:3-delayed situation, the premise is that the team must maintain the integrity of the lineup. However, the Cavaliers are currently facing the dilemma of disorganized lineup, especially since the team's core Donovan Mitchell suddenly suffered no confrontation during the break, which is even more heartbreaking than the game's defeat.
In the first half, Mitchell played for 20 minutes and scored 12 points, but his shooting percentage was only 3/11, which was far below his normal level. This performance has raised concerns about Mitchell's physical condition. During the break, Mitchell was the first to return to the court to warm up, but just as he stood outside the three-point line with the ball and was preparing to shoot, he suddenly froze, as if he was fixed by some force. Then, he threw the ball casually, walked to the sidelines silently, and injured himself without any confrontation. The appearance of this scene undoubtedly made the Cavaliers feel terrified and uneasy.
Basketball players are usually not afraid of sudden injuries, but what they fear most is this kind of unwarranty-free injury. Because this means that injuries can be extremely serious and may even affect the player's career. After the exposure of
Mitchell's injury shot has attracted widespread attention and concern. Without Mitchell, the Cavaliers had little chance of winning in this round of the series. Because in the previous three games, Mitchell averaged 41.3 points and 6 assists per game, and scored 91 points in the first two games, winning a valuable victory for the Cavaliers. Now, Mitchell's absence has caused the Cavaliers to lose 40 points of strong firepower, and this vacancy is almost impossible to fill.
Therefore, after witnessing the moment of Mitchell's injury, the Cavaliers may have deeply realized that they have never missed LeBron James so much. When examining Mitchell's entire career, it is not difficult to find that although he has always shown a tenacious competitive spirit, injuries have become increasingly prominent as the years go by. On the other hand, James, during his time with the Cavaliers, especially in the playoffs, not only did his best to do his best, but he was almost untouched by injuries, but also showed an extraordinary competitive state and tough style. What is particularly important is that James happens to master the three major championship elements that this Cavaliers lack.
The first thing is experience. Currently, young players such as Mobley, Allen and Garland lack the necessary field experience. Only James, who has successful experience, can bring valuable guidance and inspiration to the team. Secondly, health is equally crucial. At critical moments, the Cavaliers urgently need a leader who can stabilize the morale of the army to avoid chaos due to injuries. Young players often seem at a loss when they lose their core leadership. And James is such a leader who can lead the team forward.
In addition, the Cavaliers also showed insufficient response to the headwind. James once had a feat of falling behind 1:3 in the Finals and finally turning the tables, an experience that is undoubtedly a valuable asset for a team eager to reverse the situation. When the opponent is in good shape and feels hot, being able to withstand pressure and find a chance to turn the tables is exactly what James is good at.
To sum up, whether in terms of experience, health or ability to turn the tables, James is the player that this Cavaliers desire the most. The scene of Mitchell falling to the ground due to injury highlights the importance of LeBron to the team. It is actually not difficult to exchange James and his son from the Cavaliers' existing lineup. The Cavaliers have enough chips, such as the inside genius Mobley as the core, supplemented by players such as Allen, Garland and Mitchell, and then Struz to form a new starting lineup. Such an arrangement is not only expected to surpass this year's results, but also provides James with a perfect farewell stage and realizes his beautiful vision of returning to his roots.
