In the second quarter of the away game, the Indiana Pacers were already eight points behind the Cleveland Cavaliers after playing most of the second quarter of the game.

Such a gap is not big or small, but it does make people feel that there are some uncomfortable things.

Because such a score gap will make people feel very entangled, it is not big but definitely not small, if you want to catch up, but it is not easy.

Because the Cleveland Cavaliers are also in extremely good shape in this game tonight, and facing an opponent in such a state, the Indiana Pacers will naturally feel Alexander's if they want to catch up with the score at this time.

But although they felt Alexander, they did not let this discourage them, and they were still in high spirits.

Stephens, in particular, actually knows that his performance so far in this game is quite good.

Face Danny. Green and Stephens have a very good play on both offensive and defensive ends, can shoot and organize offense, and also have good protection in rebounding.

It can also be said that it is Stephens' reliance on such a good table at the moment that the Indiana Pacers have not been pulled away by the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home.

Naturally, in such a situation, for Stephens, he would never admit defeat so lightly.

So at this time, although Paul. George's repeated frustration with Wu Dawei was not particularly high, but Stephens still seemed extremely excited.

He began to take control of the team's offense, and Paul. George was more likely to play against Wu Dawei on the defensive end at this time.

He's not like he's been before, and almost every offensive round has to be played by playmaking guard George. Hill's hand went to get the ball because Paul. George apparently found himself unable to achieve the ability to play both offensively and defensively like Wu Dawei after more than a quarter of the game.

At least when he was fighting against Wu Dawei, he knew that he couldn't do it. So in such a case. Naturally, he wants to focus more on one end of the offensive and defensive ends.

And in Paul. After some deliberation, George decided to focus more on his defense rather than on the offensive end.

Because facing Wu Dawei's defense will make Paul. George wasn't that confident. So at this point he simply let Stephens take control of the ball, while he simply focused more on the defensive end of the ball.

At least he was able to ensure his efficiency on the defensive end at this point, without being embarrassed by Wu Dawei on both offensive and defensive ends.

So at this time, he gave the ball more to Stephens, after all, for Stephens, he also has a very good ability to attack the opponent's defense and organize the whole team's attack.

So at this point, he didn't feel anything worried about Stephens, but at this time, it was Danny. Green would have been a little worried at this point.

After all, Stephens is still a very aggressive player, so in such a situation, Danny . Green will be put to the test on the defensive end.

Although he is also a 3-and-D player on the Cleveland Cavaliers. But when defending Stephens, it was not important for Danny. Green's side is still a little struggling.

After all, Stephens has made a name for himself this season, and he can be regarded as a very good young player, and his independent attacking ability will naturally be given to Danny at this time. Green, but there is a huge problem.

Danny. It's not easy for Green to defend Stephens well, so he naturally needs some help on defense.

There's no doubt about that, but the Cleveland Cavaliers don't have many teammates who can help him defend right now.

Because in fact, everyone's defensive pressure is extremely high, after all, the Indiana Pacers are not the Charlotte Bobcats, although before this game starts. More people are of course more optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers, but people are not saying that they are as optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers as they were in the previous series.

Because the Indiana Pacers are a team far better than the Charlotte Bobcats, most people would think that if it weren't for the sudden rise of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then maybe the only one in the East who can compete with the Miami Heat is the Indiana Pacers.

It's just that after the Cleveland Cavaliers rose to prominence due to the outbreak of Wu Dawei, people changed their minds, but for the Indiana Pacers, people still have such a team. There was a great deal of anticipation.

So at this point, for most people, they don't think the Cleveland Cavaliers can beat their opponents 4-0 in this series like they did in the previous series.

Of course. The final victory will still belong to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they will not win as easily as before, and the Indiana Pacers will definitely do their best, and this will definitely cause some problems for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And now this game has played so far, which can more or less show the prospects of the two teams in this round of the series, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely be the dominant side, and the Indiana Pacers are at a disadvantage, but they will always bring a lot of trouble to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they are in the lead, their troubles are not small.

Stephens' aggressive attacking style at this time did make them feel very uncomfortable, because they couldn't open up the score gap with such a lead at this time.

After all, if the Cleveland Cavaliers are always in the lead, but can't really take the game into their arms, then it will be a bit of a headache for them.

Overall, though, if the Indiana Pacers want to threaten the Cleveland Cavaliers' current lead in a short period of time, it's not an easy task.

So the two sides can be said to be a little stalemate at this time, and this situation is actually a scene that neither side is happy to see.

Because that would make the game more unstable, which is not good news for either side.

So at this point, of course, the two sides don't want to see the score stalemate. Both sides want to be in absolute dominance. Therefore, no one will be satisfied with such a situation at this time.

However, relatively speaking, of course, the Indiana Pacers have more advantages in such a situation, because they are the underdog in the game, and such a stalemate situation gives them a lot of buffer opportunity and time.

In this way, they can take the opportunity to think of some ways to deal with it.

Stephens' continued impact did make the Cleveland Cavaliers defense a little uncomfortable, and David Wu was in charge of Paul. George couldn't help his teammates defend Stephens all the time.

Although said Paul. George has been attacking less recently, but even so, Wu Dawei didn't dare to let him go lightly to help defend and attack other people.

To know Paul. George is also a regular All-Star player, as a first-line star in the league, if Wu Dawei is unscrupulous in the game or negligent on the defensive end, then Paul. George is sure to do indelible damage to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So at this time, although Wu Dawei wanted to help his little partner. But it's a feeling that I have more than enough heart and not enough power.

Because of his opponent Paul. George can't tolerate the slightest negligence on his part, his strength is absolutely undoubted, so at this time, Wu Dawei can only symbolically help Danny. Green went and stretched out.

It's just that Stephens is extremely crazy at this time, so he won't be afraid of Wu Dawei's seemingly helpful defense at all.

Now in his eyes, there is no fear at all, even if Wu Dawei comes up to help defend, it is not a big problem for him, because in his opinion, Wu Dawei is basically impossible to leave Paul. George is too far away.

So Stephens seems a little unscrupulous. It seems that he is not afraid of Wu Dawei's blocking and dismantling at all, and in such a situation, Wu Dawei is naturally very miserable.

However, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although they could not open the gap in the score, at least they still maintained their lead.

Stephens did cause problems for them. But at the same time, at least for now, such a problem is not enough to shake the Cleveland Cavaliers' lead too much at this point.

As long as nothing else, the Cleveland Cavaliers can still return to their locker room with a lead before the end of the first half.

So that alone is very reassuring for the Cleveland Cavaliers players at this time. It's just that Stephens really gives them a headache.

It is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers will take the lead at this time, but they still feel dissatisfied in their hearts.

But the good news is that they are still in the driver's seat. Although the Indiana Pacers caused them a lot of trouble, it did not put the Cleveland Cavaliers in too much of a threat at this time.

After all, although the Cleveland Cavaliers can't close the score gap, they are firmly in control of the lead, and this alone can actually make them feel at ease for the time being.

And when the first half was over, the Cleveland Cavaliers still maintained their lead, at home, they were 58-51, leading the Indiana Pacers by as many as seven points.

It's not a big advantage, but at least at this point it's proof that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in good shape on the basketball court at the moment.

Although it is impossible to turn the advantage into a victory all at once, at least for now, the Cleveland Cavaliers are completely in the upper hand in the game.

Compared to the Indiana Pacers, there is no doubt that they must be the team that is closer to victory.

After all, they've always been on the leading side, and the Indiana Pacers are just the ones who are struggling to catch up behind them.

So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers must be more dominant anyway, and at the end of the first half, the current format of the game is obviously the Cleveland Cavaliers undoubtedly have the upper hand.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers players didn't have a very good look on their faces when they walked into the locker room. But it's clear that the Indiana Pacers, their opponents in this game, have even more ugly expressions on their faces when they walk into the locker room.

Because for them, the whole first half of the game ended under such a shape, which means that in fact, their performance in the first half of the game was still lost.

They weren't able to take the lead in the game, no matter how much trouble they did give the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first half, but the fact was that the Indiana Pacers couldn't take the lead in the game.

It's an indisputable fact that they've been left behind by the Cleveland Cavaliers. And that's enough to put them at a disadvantage at this point, no matter how hard they tried in the first half. Nor can it change a fact.

The players on both sides walked into the locker room one after another, and the atmosphere on both sides was not particularly good, after all, although the Cleveland Cavaliers said that they were the leading side, but in fact, this was not the result of the half game they wanted.

Although this result is actually quite good, it is clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers want to get a better result, but unfortunately the sky is not wishing.

They didn't get such an ideal result, but compared to the Indiana Pacers who are behind the side, it is clear that the Cleveland Cavaliers are still in a better shape at the moment.

The Indiana Pacers' form at this time made them very uncomfortable, after all, they were playing on the road. They themselves are in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

And now on the basketball court, they can't get any advantage, and now it's halftime after the fifteen-minute break. The second half of the game will officially begin.

For the Indiana Pacers, after the start of the second half of the game, the Indiana Pacers entered the second half with a disadvantage. Obviously, we will find ourselves in an even more unfavorable situation.

Of course, they don't want such a thing to happen, but at this point they have to accept such a thing. And the 15 minutes of halftime are undoubtedly a hope for the Indiana Pacers at this time.

They need to be in those 15 minutes. It's better to find a solution that will solve their problems in the second half.

After all, they don't want to be suppressed by the Cleveland Cavaliers for the whole game, so at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they need to think carefully at halftime.

Compared to the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be more at ease at halftime.

After all, they are ahead, so there are not so many worries, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their current shape is not as good as it should be.

For the second half of the game, they must be more optimistic than the Indiana Pacers.

The undead love between the two sides at this time is also somewhat in line with the pre-game speculation about this game and even this round of the series, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have the upper hand in the series, but their opponent, the Indiana Pacers, will also cause them some trouble.

Fifteen minutes of halftime though as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Scott wasn't very happy with the team's performance in the first half, but he didn't scold the players.

After all, the team is the leading side anyway, and he still slightly emphasized the team's defense at halftime, because it is precisely because they are not so good on the defensive end that the point difference is always unavoidable.

Compared to the calm on the Cleveland Cavaliers' side, the atmosphere on the Indiana Pacers' side is completely different, and the atmosphere in the locker room is a little dull.

Obviously, it was always the underdog and the underdog in the game, which really didn't make the Indianans happy, so of course they didn't talk much at this point.

As for the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, it is natural to feel very bad and entangled at this time. Of course, he is not in a good mood at this time, but he can't be as dull as the players.

He's got to do something at this point so that the team can change the situation in the second half...... (To be continued......)
