Wu Dawei holds the ball and faces Paul. George's defense, of course, he can't be as casual as he was when he faced rookie McGee's defense before.
So at this time, for Wu Dawei, he has to be cautious, after all, Paul. George is not a super rookie like McGee, although Paul. George is also extremely young, but in terms of strength, whether it is offensive or defensive, Paul. George is far better than McGee.
So when Wu Dawei held the ball and faced Paul. When George's defense, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
The two faced off, just like the previous Cleveland Cavaliers' first-round game against the Charlotte Bobcats. In George's matchup, the pros and cons of the shape may be a key factor in this series.
Everyone knows that David Wu is the core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers. George is also a key player for the Indiana Pacers.
The collision of the core of the two teams will naturally become a barometer of the trend of the two teams in this round of the series.
Whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they have to be extremely cautious at this time.
Otherwise, what awaits them may be a very bad situation. This is especially true for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home and will not want to lose in their home games.
The Indiana Pacers are not comparable to the Charlotte Bobcats, so in such a situation, if the Cleveland Cavaliers are a little careless, then the prospects of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this round will inevitably be clouded.
The Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to lose this great situation, and they certainly want to take advantage of it at this time.
Wu Dawei is the key figure, and it will be clear whether he can open up the situation for the team at the beginning of the game.
And Wu Dawei faced Paul. George's defense didn't feel much of a difference, except for Paul. George's oppression was a little stronger. The rest of Wu Dawei didn't feel anything special.
For Wu Dawei today, he is already the best player in the league, whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end, he is a little unstoppable.
Although Paul. George is also a defensive stalwort, but when he really plays against Wu Dawei, he may not be able to get too many benefits.
After all, Wu Dawei is not an ordinary person, nor is he the player he usually defends, at least he is currently recognized as the first person in the league.
Because there is hardly anyone like him, who has shown extremely terrifying dominance on both offensive and defensive ends. This is a point that no one in the league can match, so at this time, Paul . George is the one who is more nervous than Wu Dawei.
Because he didn't know if he would be able to do it at this time. Defend Wu Dawei's attack. In comparison, Wu Dawei must still be the one who is more confident.
After all, for him, Wu Dawei doesn't think that Paul. George was able to contain his offensive completely, and he hopes to continue his strong performance in the first round series against the Charlotte Bobcats.
So of course, Wu Dawei is going to do his best to defeat the opponent at this time, and when he holds the ball, Paul. George immediately greeted him.
The two faced off in the high post, Wu Dawei stood in front of the three-point line, he thought about how to tear apart the opponent's defense, although he was indeed confident, but he also knew that the opponent was not a general.
So at this time, the two sides were a little deadlocked for a while, but for Wu Dawei. Of course, he can't be on the attacking side like this forever.
In the end, he took the initiative to attack, after all, the time limit for the attack was always elapsing, and in the face of Paul. George's defense, Wu Dawei still decided to choose to break through the inside.
Although the latter is indeed a tough defender. But Wu Dawei still has a very advantageous advantage in terms of body.
When David Wu decided to use the breakout, Paul . George still seems extremely passive, although his body is strong enough, but compared to Wu Dawei. It's still a little inferior.
Wu Dawei took advantage of such an advantage to directly copy the paint area and kill him, but he couldn't rush into the paint area like this.
Because the Indiana Pacers' interior line is led by Roy Brown. Hibbert & David. West sits down. So in such a situation, for Wu Dawei, it would be easy to kick the iron plate if he rushed in like this.
Wu Dawei chose to make an emergency stop in the middle of the way. And the pursuit of Paul. George naturally couldn't be so comfortable, and he was thrown off by Wu Dawei again.
Then the former chose to jump directly on the spot and threw the ball to the basket. This time Paul. George was thrown away, but the defenders were not able to rush forward.
Wu Dawei found the most suitable shooting opportunity, he threw the ball to the basket, and then heard a sound from the arena, and the ball got into the basket.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took the lead in the opening period, playing at home, and they scored two points in the opening game thanks to Wu Dawei's personal table.
This was the real prelude to the game, and there was a huge cheer in the Quickloan Center, and for the Cleveland fans, Wu Dawei undoubtedly got the team off to a good start at the beginning of the series.
And the team needs such a good start, and after the game started, the Cleveland Cavaliers scored first, and then, the team naturally needs to do their defense.
The Indiana Pacers also quickly re-attacked after conceding the ball, and for them, they naturally need a good offense at this time.
Because only then will they be able to equalize the score at this point. And they don't want to be distracted by their opponents on the road, so the Indiana Pacers need a successful offense even more at this time.
This is crucial, after all, for the Indiana Pacers, they are playing on the road, and it is natural that they will easily play against them.
So at this point, when the Indiana Pacers dribbled past half court, they immediately attacked. The Indiana Pacers' attack was very fast, and the Cleveland Cavaliers had just landed their positions when the opponent rushed over frantically.
Wu Dawei and other Cleveland Cavaliers players hurriedly got ready, because the opponent was already rushing up at a very fast speed.
The two sides immediately became entangled, but the Cleveland Cavaliers were unable to defend the opposing attack, and Stephens forced a basket inside.
The score was leveled, and there was no doubt that it was something that caught the Cleveland Cavaliers off guard, as the opponent's futile acceleration left them a little unreactive.
Therefore, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be tied by the opponent, and at the same time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the ball is naturally back in their hands at this time.
Although it is said that they have conceded goals. But the ball is back in their hands, so that the Cleveland Cavaliers can re-establish the advantage of the score.
Of course, they desperately need such a lead in their home games, so at this point, when Kyrie is in dire need of it. After Irving dribbled past halftime again, the Cleveland Cavaliers were extremely cautious about this offense.
Because they don't want to be dominated by their opponents, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they need to hold the advantage in their hands for the entire game.
After all, this is the best way to win, not to switch between passives. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they anticipated the difficulties of this game, but of course they still hope to play a little more smoothly in this game.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to experience a painful defeat on their home court. So at this time. Naturally, they just want to be able to take the initiative.
And Carey. Owen did not continue to choose to hand the ball directly to Wu Dawei at this time, facing George. Hill's defense, Kyrie. After half time, Owen took advantage of a high block from Wu Dawei and chose to go directly into the paint area.
He's fast. It was also a bit of a surprise for the Indiana Pacers, and Irving's breakthrough helped the Cleveland Cavaliers regain the lead.
4-2, the opening Cleveland Cavaliers played quite well. At least they're the one leading side, and it's not going to be easy for the Indiana Pacers to overtake the score at the moment.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will definitely have to keep a firm grip on the game at home, as they don't want to give their opponents too many chances.
So at this time when Carey. After Irving's goal, the Cleveland Cavaliers quickly stepped back and had to get ready to defend again.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to be caught off guard like they did last time.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the lookout, while the Indiana Pacers are pushing forward quickly, and they certainly won't let their opponents defend themselves lightly.
Originally, they were actually on the underdog, so in such a situation, for the Indiana Pacers, they needed a good table even more.
The back-to-back conceded on the defensive end forced the Indiana Pacers to play as good on the offensive end as before.
Otherwise, if the Cleveland Cavaliers seize the opportunity, then the Indiana Pacers are not unaware of what happened to the Charlotte Bobcats, the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent in the first-round series.
Naturally, they will not want to be killed by their opponents in four straight games, and they also have their own ambitions for the Indiana Pacers.
So while they are easily underdogs and underdogs against the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will have to rise to the occasion as well.
After all, if they want to be the best team in the league, they have to face the toughest opponents.
It's just that the last time the Indiana Pacers relied on Stephens' surprise attack, it helped the Indiana Pacers score 2 points, and this time the Cleveland Cavaliers are more prepared than before.
So when Stephens wanted to attack with the ball again, the Cleveland Cavaliers were already closed and didn't give him any chance.
Stephens, on the other hand, handed the ball to Paul. George, Paul. George had previously tried to run through guò to get rid of Wu. But David. West's blocking did not create much difficulty for Wu Dawei at this time.
So when Paul. When George received the pass, Wu Dawei was defending in front of him. Of course, George will still be jealous.
After all, Wu Dawei's defense is easy to make people jealous, and Paul. Of course, George will not just go for a stupid strong attack, but chooses to use his teammates' blocking and dismantling again to shake off Wu Dawei's follow-up defense.
However, Wu Dawei will definitely not let him succeed lightly, because at this time, for Wu Dawei, he hopes that he can help his team to defend such an attack of the opponent, because in this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a chance to attack in the next step. The gap between the scores was widened.
Of course, this is what they want to be able to do, so at this point, David Wu must be doing everything he can to keep up with Paul. George too.
He wasn't going to let the latter get out of his hands at this point and score a goal, and Paul. George was also unable to score in this attack.
Although he relied on blocking and dismantling to create a little shooting space, the shot was directly deflected, and the rebound was naturally taken into the arms of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And after the Cleveland Cavaliers won the ball, of course, they were about to launch an offensive attack on the Indiana Pacers' half.
They don't want to waste this hard-earned opportunity, as this is the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be hoping to get ahead of the game.
And constantly expand the leading edge. At this point, it can be a huge help to the Cleveland Cavaliers, because it can help them better control the pace of the game.
They like that feeling, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they quickly made it through the half. The Indiana Pacers were also in a hurry at this time and hurriedly chose to return to defense.
Because they don't want to be pulled away by their opponents like this, they can catch up with an attack if they are 2 points behind, and if they are 4 points behind, then it will make the shape different.
They certainly don't want to see that happen. So at this time, they hurriedly returned to the defense, but the formation was still a little messy.
The Cleveland Cavaliers like this kind of offensive rhythm the most, after all, they can run around the team. So at this point they are very fast-paced.
The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, are slightly inferior, and they are a passive side, so at this time, they are naturally even more at a disadvantage.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' quick offense made the opponent feel a little overwhelmed, and the ball went straight into the basket, and then the Cleveland Cavaliers changed their score.
6-2, the Cleveland Cavaliers at home extended their advantage, which is a very good thing for the team.
They opened up the gap, at least so that the Indians couldn't catch up in a single round.
This made the whole quick loan center boil, because the shape of the shì at this moment was undoubtedly similar to the previous first round of the series.
The Cleveland Cavaliers all had the advantage at the beginning of the game, and although their opponents were desperately chasing in the subsequent games, they might be able to catch up with the score gap, but in the end they still couldn't escape a loss.
So at this time, this is of course a very good signal for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they can be of great help in this game.
Cleveland fans will naturally feel very excited about this, and the team has the opportunity to have a bigger chance of winning this game.
That's certainly what the Cleveland fans were expecting before the game, so at this point in time, the Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping to keep that momentum going.
That's the most important thing for them at this point, and with the lead on their home court, the Cleveland Cavaliers have more chances to win this game in the rest of the game.
It's not entirely impossible, as they're on the side now, which would make the Cleveland Cavaliers a great chance of winning the game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers at home have very few turnovers, and once they take the lead, the visitors will be extremely passive on this field.
So when the Indiana Pacers trailed 2-6 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the opening game, all the Indians immediately became uneasy. (To be continued......)
