Wu got off to a good start for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second half, but they were off to face the Indiana Pacers' pressure on the offensive end.
In tonight's game, the Indiana Pacers are also in a very hot state, so although they conceded the first goal, the players of the Indiana Pacers still showed a very strong performance after returning to the offensive end.
After all, they were able to play very well in the first half of the game, and it was not just luck.
Their performance in the first half of the game was definitely outstanding, and they quickly carried over this form into the second half.
When the Indiana Pacers attacked past halftime, they were quick to score. At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers said that they wanted to stop the Indiana Pacers offense as much as they could.
But in the end, they couldn't do that, and the Indiana Pacers' first offense of the second half of the game was to throw the ball into the basket very quickly.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers scored first, the Indiana Pacers followed up with an immediate goal.
The difference in the score is naturally in such a situation, and it has become an 8-point gap again. For either side, such an opening will not be satisfactory for both sides.
Both teams scored on their own, but it was a very different scenario than they had envisioned at half-time.
After all, one team wants to close the gap in the score, while the other team hopes to open up the gap in the score as much as possible.
So at this time, no matter which side it is, after the start of the second half of the game, it is natural that they will not want to see the opponent score.
So at this time, after both sides saw that each other had scored their own goals, they naturally did not feel happy at this time.
The gap in the score is still maintained at around 8 points. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it won't make them happy, and the Indiana Pacers will obviously be more happy in comparison.
After all, they still managed to maintain their lead, and their excellent offense ensured that they didn't panic too much about the Cleveland Cavaliers' comeback.
After all, they are still the leading side at this point, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally feel disappointed at this time.
However, the opponent's goal did not make them feel frustrated, after all, the second half of the game had just started at this time, and for both sides, they still had a chance to win the next game.
It's just that if the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been at a disadvantage at this point, then for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In fact, they will definitely be hit hard.
So the Cleveland Cavaliers don't like to see such a situation at this time, and for them, at least after the start of the second half, their appearance on the defensive end will not make them feel satisfied.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now eight points behind, and if they want to complete a comeback in this game to catch up with the point difference, then they not only need a good offense, but at the same time, they naturally need some good defense to support their offense.
Otherwise, if the light is just an offense. If the Cleveland Cavaliers want to catch up with the deficit at this time, then it will still be a bit difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, they can't shoot three-pointers every time, and opponents always shoot two-pointers, and they can shoot three-pointers every time.
So at this point for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition to offense, defense will be particularly important at this time.
They need to play some good games, otherwise, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're going to get worse and worse in this series tonight.
It certainly wasn't what they wanted to see, but the fact that the opening didn't help their team close the gap at this point did worry the Cleveland Cavaliers players.
But fortunately, at this moment, the ball is back in their hands. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they now need to put their defensive problems aside for the time being and turn around and solve their current problems on the offensive end first.
Wu is still the Cleveland Cavaliers' first choice to hold the ball at this time, and the Indiana Pacers will also be very targeted.
But for Paul. For George, this will actually make him feel more and more Alexander, especially when he has been unable to defend Wu Dawei. George's self-confidence will also suffer.
And it can be said that at such a time as this moment, his self-confidence has long been affected. Of course, he didn't want his defense to be lightly stabbed by Wu Dawei, but in a short period of time, he couldn't do anything about it.
And his teammates often come over to help him do some supplemental defense at this time, but judging from the current form, it seems that there is no good way to do this.
Because Wu Dawei was still scoring, and at this time, when Wu Dawei held the ball again, Paul. Naturally, George was about to catch up.
But there is no bottom in his heart, because he was easily passed by Wu Dawei before, and at this time he seems to feel that this will not change much.
Although Wu Dawei's momentum in this game tonight is not particularly good, there is no doubt that Wu Dawei's performance in the first two series is still to Paul. George caused a certain blow above.
So at this time for Paul. George, of course, was frustrated by this. However, he still stood in front of Wu Dawei at this time, no matter what, in this game tonight, the Indiana Pacers had already seen the hope of winning, so at this time, everyone on the team naturally had to do their best.
No, for them. It would be a big shame for them to miss out on such a great opportunity to win the game.
It will even be the most regrettable thing this season, so at this time, for Paul. As far as George was concerned, when Wu Dawei launched an attack, although he had no confidence in his heart, he still met it.
David Wu and Paul. George had a violent physical collision on the three-point line, and at this point, whether it was Wu Dawei or Paul. George, he is not willing to make any concessions.
Because both sides hope to gain the upper hand in this attack, so at this time, both sides are naturally doing their best.
And once when two people have a violent physical collision at this time. Naturally, it has become the focus of everyone's attention.
And Wu Dawei at this time because of the weight tonnage, naturally has to occupy the upper hand again, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Wu Dawei as long as he can play with Paul. If George has the upper hand in the matchup, then they will be able to score a lot more in this attack.
Because once David Wu broke through Paul. After George's defense, the Indiana Pacers must choose to flank Wu Dawei at this time.
And once Wu Dawei is flanked, the opponent will inevitably miss the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup, and in this way, the others will be able to get open shooting opportunities.
Once you get such an opportunity. Of course, it will be very advantageous for the Cleveland Cavaliers to score at this time, even if the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers players don't have a good shooting touch on the outside tonight, but at this time, at least it is more or less an opportunity.
And this time. When David Wu broke through Paul again. After George's defense, the Indiana Pacers' pinch shot really rushed over more decisively.
This time it's not just Reims. Stephens rushed towards Wu Dawei, and George. Hill also abandoned his defender and rushed towards Wu Dawei.
Suddenly. David Wu is passing Paul. George's defense was followed by a more intense pinch shot. Of course, this is not something that Wu Dawei wants to see, because in this way. It will be more difficult for him to get a chance to score at this point.
So he was finally forced to choose to pass, and for Wu Dawei, he could only choose to trust his teammates at this moment.
Although their projection in the first half of the game was not good, at this time, Wu Dawei had no choice, even if he was not in good shape for a while, he would not be able to throw the ball all the time.
So at this time, for Wu Dawei, he can only choose to believe in his teammates at this time. Wu Dawei faced the bag of two people, threw the ball out, and passed it to the hands of his teammates.
And Wu Dawei's choice this time is to pass to the team's outside shooter Danny. Green's hand, Danny. Green was outside the three-point line at the moment, and after receiving a pass from Wu Dawei, he was faced with an open shot.
Danny. After Green received the pass, he naturally didn't think about anything, and just threw the ball directly to the basket.
But when he threw the ball out, he immediately frowned, because he found that the trajectory of the ball he threw was suddenly crooked......
It wasn't what he had envisioned, but it just happened at this point!
The ball really came out of the basket, and there was no room for it, and it was in the hands of the Indiana Pacers.
The entire Bankers Life Arena immediately erupted in hysterical cheers, and for Indiana fans, this was what they would love to see.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were on the back foot at this point, not only did they not defend well, but they were not in good shape on the offensive end, except for Wu Dawei.
In this way, the Indiana Pacers have a better chance to win the game in this game tonight.
At this time, naturally, the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely be affected by Danny. Green missed the impact of his shot from beyond the three-point line this time.
After all, this is a great opportunity, but Danny. Green was not able to catch in such a situation. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, what they missed was such a good opportunity to chase the score.
You know, if this three-point shot can be thrown into the basket, then there is no doubt that there will be a very huge boost to the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is absolutely undeniable, but at this time, they were not able to seize such an opportunity, which would make the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very frustrated.
The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, turned around and continued to put the ball in the basket, which was definitely a very ugly thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because of this. The margin of the score is in double digits. Although the difference between 10 points and 8 points is only 2 points, it is completely different in terms of giving people senses.
At this point, when the Indiana Pacers extended their lead to double digits, the cheers in the entire bankers living arena became even more boiling.
For the Indiana Pacers, this state of mind at this moment is undoubtedly giving them hope of actually winning this game tonight.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they felt more and more uncomfortable, because they never thought that they would lose the first road game of this round of the series by such a huge margin.
However, at this time, the second half of the game has just begun. While the opponent's back-to-back goals did frustrate the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team's head coach, Byron Cavaliers. Scott still believes in his teammates.
He stood on the sidelines and shouted to the players, hoping that the team would not be immersed in such a decadent feeling, and the ball was back in their hands. At this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the focus they need to focus on is how to convert the next ball into offense.
That's what's important for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this moment. If they've been immersed in such a decadent love affair, then they're really going to do it before the end of the game. I lost hope of winning this game.
Of course, this would not have been the desire of the Cleveland Cavaliers, so at this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers attacked again after half court. And Wu Dawei did not continue to hold the ball at this time. After all, he is a man, not made of iron.
Wu Dawei not only needs to resist the team's attack, but also has a very important task on the defensive end.
Therefore, physical boredom will naturally be tested, so at this time, for Wu Dawei, it is impossible for him to preside over the attack every time. 3
After all, his physical strength is not wireless, so at this time Carey. Naturally, Owen was about to step up. However, the bad feeling of the whole team tonight was like an infectious disease, which continued to every player except Wu Dawei at this time.
Everyone seems to be completely unable to score goals, which is definitely a huge blow for the Cleveland Cavaliers. 、
Because this means that they may face a more difficult and disadvantageous situation at this moment, which is already a very disadvantaged situation. 、
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the situation is undoubtedly going to get even bigger at this point, because not only are they unable to effectively contain the Indiana Pacers' offense, but their own defensive performance is also limited by the Indiana Pacers.
In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally become more distant if they want to complete the comeback in the middle of the game, and they certainly don't want such a thing to happen, but at this time they obviously have no other way.
While the Cleveland Cavaliers still have hope of a theoretical comeback at this point, if they really want to be down by double digits at this point in time, and they are in such bad shape, it will definitely be extremely difficult.
Of course, this is not to say that it is completely impossible, if Wu Dawei can wake up as much as possible and play his offensive and defensive tables in the previous two games, then the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally still have a theoretical possibility.
After all, the game in the third quarter has just begun, and if Wu Dawei can really play the state of the previous two games, then of course they will have a great chance to turn the tables.
It's just that at this time, Wu Dawei seems a little alone tonight. Because teammates have been struggling to find their touch, it will make the Indiana Pacers more resolute in Wu Dawei's bag selection.
And if you want Wu Dawei to complete the individual attack in the face of 2 or even 3 people, it is definitely a difficult thing for a strong man. 、
After all, basketball is a team sport, and it is difficult to work by one person alone. So at this point, when the Indiana Pacers took a double-digit lead at this point, the Indians felt that they were indeed very close to victory.
It's really difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to turn around in such a state. (To be continued......)
