Relying on Wu Dawei's strong play in the opening game, the Cleveland Cavaliers also took the lead in the game at the beginning of their home court.

It's great news for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who love the feeling of being ahead, and who wouldn't love that.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after taking the lead, they naturally have to continue to fight for the advantage.

Of course, they will also hope that they can continue to maintain such a leading advantage in the next game, because they hope to be able to win the game smoothly in this game.

That's certainly a good wish for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it's not something they want to see for their opponents, the Indiana Pacers.

So at this time, the players of the Indiana Pacers naturally have to do their best at this time to catch up with the current disadvantage.

That's what they want to do, and at this point, they're not going to be left behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, that's not what they want.

So at this point, for the Indiana Pacers, they were in danger but didn't have any idea of compromise.

They're still hoping to get the upper hand in this series, there's no doubt about that.

After all, they are not Charlotte Bobcats, they have the strength to impact the stronger class, so at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, what they need to do is to catch up with the score gap or even overtake it!

That's the most important thing for the Indiana Pacers right now, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they want to keep their lead. Actually, it's not an easy thing to do.

For the Indiana Pacers, it wasn't easy, either.

Because Wu Dawei played an extremely amazing table at the beginning, and such a table will also make the Indiana Pacers feel a great headache at this time.

Paul. George had a good reputation, but it was clear that it was unrealistic to beat his opponent like this. Because Wu Dawei is obviously in the opening table xiàn, or far better than Paul. George was even better.

In the first three shots, including 2 shots from beyond the three-point line, Wu Dawei scored a total of 8 points, such a number and efficiency will undoubtedly be very jaw-dropping.

And Paul. Although George also has a headscarf and a three-point shot, it is compared to Wu Dawei. It's still a lot inferior.

So at this time, this is why the Indiana Pacers fell into a situation of falling behind at the beginning of the game, because the contest between the two leading stars created such a situation at this time.

However, for such a shape, the Indiana Pacers actually had an estimate of this before the game started, and they also thought that maybe they would be completely passive at the beginning of the game.

And they will naturally be prepared for this, and they will definitely not sit back and wait for death like this. Because for them, that's what the current form is.

They must bear with it for a while, or they will be waiting for them. It could be even worse, and for the Indiana Pacers players, they weren't really in such a hurry at this point.

Because they know that although the current shape is not good, it is not enough to lose the game. After all, the game is just beginning, and although the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken the lead, they are now on the lookout. There's no need for the Indiana Pacers to go head-to-head with the Cleveland Cavaliers at this point.

On the home side of a strong opponent, the Indiana Pacers, who are behind, need more than anything to maintain their patience right now.

After all, it's far from the stage where it's time to go head-to-head, and they can still keep their patience and wait for the opportunity to come in this long game.

For the Indiana Pacers, their current shape is of course very bad, but if they can be patient, then they can still find opportunities in this game.

So at this time, the most important thing for the Indiana Pacers players to do right now is to be patient.

However, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed the leading side on the basketball court, after all, they are indeed much ahead of the Indiana Pacers in terms of score.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, what they have to do is naturally to maintain their lead in the next game.

That's the most important thing they need to do right now, after all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their current shape is delightful.

Naturally, they had to maintain such a posture at this time, and they didn't want to give their opponents the slightest chance.

At this time, it is the best choice to try to expand your lead.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have the advantage in the game so far, and as long as they can continue to hold it up, then their chances of winning this game are basically nine out of ten.

So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, having taken the lead, they now need more and better advantages.

They want to be able to continue to consolidate such a lead, which is what they are thinking about at this moment.

As for the Indiana Pacers, when they see the Cleveland Cavaliers trying to widen the gap after building up some lead, they naturally won't let their opponents get their way.

After all, they had great expectations for this game, so at this time, they would not let their opponents get their wishes lightly.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead in the first quarter of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not take too much advantage at this time.

Because their opponent, the Indiana Pacers, also tightly bites the score, although the Cleveland Cavaliers have the lead, but they want to completely narrow the gap in the score for a while. But it's not a real thing.

Overall, though, when the first quarter ended, the Cleveland Cavaliers had the upper hand at home.

The Indiana Pacers are playing tenaciously, but it's clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers are the ones who dominate this game, and that's what Cleveland fans want to see.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are far ahead, while their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, are behind them and will struggle to catch up.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have never been able to completely get rid of the Indiana Pacers in the game, they have at least never let the Indiana Pacers have too many opportunities in the first quarter of the game.

After taking the lead, the Cleveland Cavaliers immediately began to control the tempo of the game. In this way, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they can play more comfortably in the first quarter of the game.

Wu played only eight minutes in the entire first quarter, and although the Indiana Pacers were entangled in the game, they were not in the game of Byron. Scott seems that they will not be able to catch up with the score gap for the time being.

So he decided to let Wu Dawei rest more time in the first quarter of the game.

In the first quarter of the game, Wu Dawei had already contributed 10 points and 2 assists to the team, and his performance was impeccable on the offensive end. And on the defensive end, although Wu Dawei did not completely contain Paul. George's performance, but overall, he still contributed a lot of energy to the team.

After all, Paul. George is a far more difficult opponent to feel like than McGee. So in the first quarter of the game, it was not so easy for Wu Dawei to blow up the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

But even so, in Byron. Scott seemed to be satisfied enough. At least the team is still firmly in control of the lead for now. The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, need to catch up with the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.

As for whether it can catch up, that's hard to say. So at this time. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are certainly happy to see such a thing happen.

After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are now the leading side, so naturally there will not be too much pressure, and the Indiana Pacers, although the score behind is not ten is very huge, but they will still have pressure in their hearts.

Because the time is disappearing minute by minute, although there are still three quarters of game time left, which is enough for the Indiana Pacers to catch up with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but after all, they have not really caught up yet, and the pressure in their hearts is naturally there.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers had a seven-point lead over the visiting Indiana Pacers, 27-20.

Such a point difference is not too much and definitely not too little, and it is not easy for the Indiana Pacers to catch up, in short, it is not a matter of one or two rounds; And if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to open up the scoreline, then the feeling of 7 points to 10 points will be completely different.

So overall, the Cleveland Cavaliers definitely have more of the advantage at this point, and they have more opportunities.

Such a situation was actually expected before the opening game, with the Cleveland Cavaliers having the upper hand in the game, and the Pacers not allowing the Cleveland Cavaliers to open up the score lightly.

There was a bit of a stalemate between the two sides, and it wasn't going to end up in garbage time all of a sudden, like the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Bobcats in the last round of the series.

So at this time, the atmosphere of the arena in the entire Quick Loan Center is still extremely warm, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their current shape is of course excellent.

During the break, they were also able to feel more relaxed than the Indiana Pacers because they had the initiative and the advantage.

At this point, the Indiana Pacers can only passively accept it for now, for the Indiana Pacers. Of course, they still hope to catch up.

So at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers still need to be cautious enough, otherwise, maybe the Indiana Pacers will catch the Cleveland Cavaliers off guard not long after the start of the second quarter.

So at this intermission, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers is still emphasizing the importance of competition with his players, because he hopes that his team can play a very strong game after the start of the second quarter to reverse the current decline on the basketball court.

That's a big deal, and for the Indiana Pacers, they're still a laggard in comparison. And the Cleveland Cavaliers are also the leader, no matter what.

So, if the Indiana Pacers don't want to be kept suppressed by the Cleveland Cavaliers, then they will have to play more aggressively after the start of the second quarter.

Otherwise, they will definitely be suppressed by their opponents all the time, and of course they won't like this rhythm, but at this time, for them, they have to accept it.

So the Indiana Pacers are naturally looking for change at this time. They didn't want to watch the Cleveland Cavaliers show off in front of them all the time.

This is not something they are willing to accept, and for the Indiana Pacers, they will inevitably launch a comeback in the second quarter.

And the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, naturally understand very well at this time that the opponent they are facing is not the Charlotte Bobcats. So they need to be a little more cautious.

Although they got some leads, they still understood that such a lead was not enough for them to have much peace of mind at this time.

Because no one knows when the Indiana Pacers might suddenly burst out, and once the opponent bursts out. If the Cleveland Cavaliers are not prepared, then they will be extremely passive.

So at this point for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they have an advantage. But it's still important to stay focused.

However, in general, the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly have an advantage at this time, and the Cleveland Cavaliers do not have any distress compared to the Indiana Pacers playing on the road.

After all, they are not the lagging side, so they must be much better than the Indiana Pacers in terms of mentality at this time.

In such a situation, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the shape of the game is naturally very optimistic.

What they have to think about now is not very different from that of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they just need to think about how to keep the gap wide in the next game.

As long as they can continue to extend their lead, then the prospects for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game will be much better than before.

This is an undeniable thing, and the Indiana Pacers, the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, are also very clear about this element at this time.

So for them, before the start of the second quarter, they must do their best to narrow the gap in the score as much as possible.

Because they don't want to be beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers, even though it's only the first game of the series, the Indiana Pacers want to be the team that takes the lead, not the opponent to take control.

So at this time, they need a good watch even more, and when the 2-minute break has passed, the second quarter of the game will quickly kick off.

Wu Dawei was sitting on the sidelines to rest at this time, although this was the Eastern Conference semifinals, but in this game tonight, Wu Dawei still felt relatively relaxed. 、

Because he started to go off the court in the eighth minute of the first quarter, and now, he's been off the court for a long time.

For Wu Dawei, of course, he is already resting, but obviously at this time, Byron. Scott still doesn't have any intention of letting David Wu play now.

Because the Cleveland Cavaliers are in good shape at the moment, their 7-point advantage is enough to help the team play at this time, and they don't have to face too many crises for the time being.

The Indiana Pacers can't do that at this point, because for them, if they can't play a good game after the start of the second quarter to close the score, then they will make the shape worse. 、

After all, this is the last quarter of the game before the end of the first half, and if there is no substantial progress at this time, when the game enters the second half, it will become even more unfriendly for the Indiana Pacers.

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they will definitely start the second quarter of the game, and now, it depends on whether the Cleveland Cavaliers can resist. (To be continued......)
