The Cavaliers narrowly beat the Knicks 95-93 at home, and The Substitute Love once again became the cavaliers' winning code. Since James's departure, the Cavaliers have been tepid, and young players such as Sexton and Garland have a certain talent, but they can't become too much of a climate. Until this season, the appearance of Mobley has given the Cavaliers a turnaround in the future.
Luck has experienced the snow of the team and has also changed his mentality. From the demon king who used to brush up data in the Timberwolves, to the important hero of the Cavaliers to win the championship, to the supporting role that is now playing as a substitute and working hard, Lefu's mental journey is even more difficult than his experience on the field. However, he managed to survive.
Facing the Knicks, Love was prepared early. In the middle of the first quarter, he received the ball at 45 degrees on the top of the arc on the right side and fired a three-point shot at the defender. At the end of the quarter, the Knights advanced, Lefour received the ball in the top of the arc hand, and the teammates completed the wonderful blocking, leaving room for Lefour to project. He did not hesitate, a three-point arrow through the clouds, directly through the sky, hit the basket.
But the best moment was the performance of the third quarter. At 7 minutes and 18 seconds, Love flew defensively at the apex of the arc and moved sideways one step and three-pointers. At 5 minutes and 27 seconds, Love made a three-point shot against the defense and began to set off a three-point frenzy. In the next two rounds, Love has been blowing up the basket at the top of the arc, scoring three points in a row. In just a few minutes, he hit four three-pointers. The next 3 three-pointers, which took only 53 seconds, were shot in 1 minute.
Luck's efficient projection directly hit the Knicks, forcing the opponent to shout a timeout. At this point, the Cavaliers also went from being four points behind to an 11-point lead. In just over 3 minutes, Love scored 12 points and led the team to a 17-2 frenzy. This wave of rage directly laid the foundation for the knight's victory.
In the whole game, Love only played 23 minutes and 57 seconds, he shot 6 of 12, all three-point shots, and bombed 20 points, 11 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal. This is the third time that Luck has hit a 20+10 number in a single game this season, and it is also his fifth time in a single game of the season that he has hit at least six three-pointers, equaling the peak performance of the 2016-17 season. Based on 36 minutes of playing time, Luck averaged 23.4 points per game, which is the third highest performance of his career.
Lefour's outstanding performance also attracted praise from the famous Tim Mac Mahon, who bluntly said that he was eligible for the honor of the best sixth man. As far as Luck's performance is concerned, he can still play an important role in the championship team. The glorious past of the Cavaliers is still vivid, can Love win the championship again in the future?
