Three battles hit 124 points! Only when the Cavaliers face difficulties will they force the strongest Mitchell!

The Cavaliers have excellent record in the regular season and Mitchell averaged "only" 24 points per game. This performance also made many people ignore his name when talking about the best scorer. However, in the playoffs, when the Cavaliers faced a crisis, he finally started his personal offensive mode. This issue of the column will take you through in-depth data analysis.

Mitchell scored 33 points, 48 ​​points and 43 points respectively in three games against the Pacers. During the entire playoffs, Mitchell ranked second in the league in 31.3 points per game, second only to Antetokounmpo. His 47.5% shooting percentage is also the mid-to-highest player in the 10 players with the most points per game, but making such a scoring performance may not be what Mitchell wants most.

You should know that although Mitchell's average score per game this season is the lowest in the Cavaliers' career, the Cavaliers' record is the best in the past three seasons. Therefore, for personal data, Mitchell obviously hopes that the team can win, even in this season's playoffs: when the Cavaliers win this season, Mitchell averaged 19.6 shots per game, with a usage rate of 29.9%, and could contribute 27.6 points per game. When the team wins, he consumes more mobile phones, but it is not an exaggeration. However, when the team loses, the situation has changed greatly.

When the Cavaliers lost, Mitchell averaged 30 shots per game, with a usage rate of 44%, and an average of 41.3 points per game. This means that when the Cavaliers lose, he consumes a mobile phone that will account for 44% of the team's total ball rights. When the Cavaliers face difficulties, Mitchell had to significantly increase the offensive attempts to change the outcome. Therefore, whether Mitchell uses all his strength depends on the Cavaliers' state. If the Cavaliers can win, he can exert less force. If the Cavaliers have an unfavorable situation, he will increase his attacks. In his eyes, it is obvious that victory is greater than the data.

, and Mitchell's playing style is also closely related to the winners of the Cavaliers. When the Cavaliers win, Mitchell's score assist rate reaches 42.6%, non-teammate assist scores account for 57.4%, and assist rate is 21.6%. This means that when the Cavaliers win, Mitchell mainly scores on the offensive scores, but there are also quite a lot of people who receive the passes of teammates to complete the scores, and can also undertake the task of sending passes to teammates;

When the Cavaliers lose. Mitchell's scoring assist rate dropped to 25%, non-teammate assist scores rose to 75%, and assist rate reached 39.4%, which means that when the Cavaliers' situation is unfavorable, Mitchell will increase the ball-holding attacks. This offense is not a move after receiving the teammate's pass, but an increase in the opportunity to run the ball and create scores and assists. When the Cavaliers' offensive system tactics fail, another system of handing the ball to Mitchell will be opened. This is the value of Mitchell to the Cavaliers. His existence undoubtedly provides the Cavaliers with an effective bottom-up effect.

Not only that, Mitchell's performance in each quarter was the same. In the four quarters during the playoffs, Mitchell's usage rate reached the highest of 39.6% in the last quarter, and the non-assisted rate of scored was also the highest of 73.3% in the four quarters. This means that Mitchell in the first three quarters was more involved in the Cavaliers' offense, reducing personal shots and increasing the proportion of passing passes by teammates;

When the game entered the critical final quarter, Mitchell began to hold the ball more and become the absolute leader of the Cavaliers' offensive system, and doing so also made his scoring efficiency reach the highest. Mitchell's real shooting rate after free throws and three-pointers reached the highest of 67.5% in the four quarters, which means that he held the ball more and had higher scoring efficiency in the last quarter.

Although the Cavaliers are currently in a state of lagging behind the Pacers, it is still unknown who will win with the return of other teammates and Mitchell's bottom-up role, but Mitchell is undoubtedly the most indispensable person for the Cavaliers.
