The start of the second quarter was not good for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they were not able to carry on the shape of the first quarter of the game in the second quarter.
The Indiana Pacers played a better game at this time, and such a game helped the Indiana Pacers quickly close the score gap they had fallen behind in the first quarter of the game.
The two sides quickly stood on the same starting line, which is of course a very good thing for the Indiana Pacers playing at home, but at the same time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it is natural that such a situation makes them feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, they don't want such a situation to happen, but after the start of the second quarter of the game, they are also unable to reverse the situation of such a game, Wu Dawei, who is sitting on the court, can only watch his team be equalized by the opponent, and even overtake the score in the end.
This made Wu Dawei feel very uncomfortable, and the people who also felt uncomfortable were Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron. Scott.
Standing on the sidelines, he frowned at this, because this was obviously not something he wanted to see, but at this time, such a thing happened again and again.
When the team entered the away game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' table was actually unsatisfactory, except for Wu Dawei, who still played an extremely good table, the other players' table and their table in the home game, are completely incomparable.
That's why the Cleveland Cavaliers played so hard in Game 3, which was something they felt extremely uncomfortable with.
And before the start of the fourth game, Byron. Scott had hoped that the players would be able to sweep away the poor performance in the previous third game and win the game in the fourth.
But who would have thought that the game had just reached the second quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers would find themselves in such a bad situation......
Once again, the Cleveland Cavaliers are on the back foot. The Indiana Pacers played a fantastic game after the start of the second quarter.
However, at this point, this is certainly not something that the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, especially as the team's head coach. Scott, so of course he can't watch the other party so unscrupulously overtake the score gap and disadvantage.
As the head coach of the team, of course, he has to make some corresponding adjustments at this time, he can't let the opponent do as he likes, after all, in this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have only one thought, that is, to win the game smoothly!
That's the Cleveland Cavaliers' only thought in this pizza game, so Byron. Scott certainly didn't want to be ruined by his opponent just like that.
The game is still ongoing. Although Byron. Scott didn't call a timeout, but it was clear that he still had to make some adjustments to the game at this point.
So he beckoned to the bench and called Wu Dawei to his side, and in the first quarter of the game tonight, Wu Dawei had already scored 10 points.
There is no doubt that on the offensive end, Wu Dawei still continued his extremely wonderful and efficient performance since entering the playoffs.
It was because Wu Dawei was able to play such a steady game as always, that the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to take the lead in the first quarter of the game.
And now, Byron. Of course, Scott will continue to pin his hopes on Wu Dawei, after all, as the core of the team, Wu Dawei has repeatedly saved the Cleveland Cavaliers from danger.
And on this. Byron. Scott is naturally accustomed to pinning his hopes on Wu Dawei in such a situation.
After all, his personal excellence in the first quarter of the game was also the key to why the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to take the lead on the road.
So at this point, Byron. Scott naturally wants to continue to count on Wu Dawei's cousin. And Wu Dawei, who rested on the bench for a few minutes, immediately returned to the basketball court. Naturally, he will be extremely positive about this.
After all, he can also see how critical his team's current shape is, and he knows that in such a situation, as the core of the team, of course, he must stand up.
Because if you don't stand up at this time. So who can step up and help the Cleveland Cavaliers now?
After all, he is the core of the team, and Wu Dawei has never forgotten this.
And Wu Dawei's appearance will naturally affect the hearts of many people at this time. Especially as the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers is naturally very concerned about Wu Dawei's play at this time.
But he didn't blindly choose to make a substitution, because he also understood that the best player in his team, Paul. Although George is one of the top players in the league, he has always been at a disadvantage in the competition with Wu Dawei.
The chemistry of the entire Indiana Pacers team on both ends of the floor is fantastic right now, so he doesn't want to continue to blindly choose substitutions like he did in the previous three games.
After all, Paul. George's appearance in the previous three games is also enough to prove that in fact, he is not able to defend Wu Dawei's attack very well.
So instead of blindly changing people at this time, it is better to observe it first. After all, even if you can't defend Wu Dawei's offense after waiting for a while, you can at least maintain the team's offensive state.
After all, the score has now become 35-38, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who led by 3 points in the second quarter of the game, are now 3 points behind the Indiana Pacers.
If the Indiana Pacers can continue to maintain their offensive form, it will not be easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to turn it back.
Although Wu Dawei is not only extremely good on the offensive end, but also a very terrifying player on the defensive end; But after all, he is just one person after all, and no matter how good he is, he can't defend the offense of an entire team by himself.
So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, Wu Dawei's play is indeed to be treated with caution. But there's no need to be so blind and scared.
After all, there is no need for this.
And when Wu Dawei came on the court, it was obvious that the entire Cleveland Cavaliers team made tactical adjustments, and the team found the backbone.
When Wu Dawei came on the field, Wu Dawei must be the player who was surrounded, and of course he would not live up to the trust of his teammates.
After re-entering the field, Wu Dawei scored immediately. There is no doubt that Wu Dawei, who can still average 40 points per game in this series, will not be afraid of any defender on the Indiana Pacers lineup.
The score quickly became 37-38, and Wu Dawei's appearance immediately had an immediate effect. The difference in the score instantly became 1 point.
But that didn't make the Indiana Pacers panic, as they quickly returned the favor to the Cleveland Cavaliers on their own offensive end.
And with a three-point shot, such a response is certainly very good for the Indiana Pacers.
The score then became 37-41, and the Indiana Pacers quickly stretched the gap to four points.
This made the entire banker's life arena can't help but burst into extremely violent cheers, and of course they will feel very excited about it.
After all, this is what the Indiana Pacers want, and even if they can't defend Wu Dawei, then they must at least keep themselves in excellent shape on the offensive end.
This is very important, as long as the Indiana Pacers are on the leading side at this time. If they can maintain their hot touch on the offensive end, then the Indiana Pacers will still have an easy time maintaining their lead.
It's the most pivotal game of the series for the Indiana Pacers, win or go home, and the theme is a dark cloud that lingers on the Indiana Pacers' minds tonight.
It's really stressful for them. But at the same time, it has also given the Indiana Pacers more momentum, and they have already rushed to the Eastern Conference semifinals, and then the Eastern Conference finals. They certainly don't want to just give up.
Although the atmosphere of their whole team was extremely low before the game, but in any case, the Indiana Pacers wanted to move on.
After all, they managed to make it to the semi-finals. Although their own form in the semifinals is extremely dangerous right now, the Indiana Pacers players certainly hope that they can pull off a miracle if they can.
After all, this is a place where miracles are born!
That's what they're expecting, so at this point, they're not going to just give up in this game tonight.
And now their efforts have also paid off, they have once again taken the lead, in fact, from this point can be seen more or less, although the Indiana Pacers are currently 0-3 behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the series, but in fact, they still have the strength to stalemate with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And this actually means that they are actually still capable of winning the game, so at this time, the Indiana Pacers will certainly not choose to give up so lightly.
If they could, they would certainly like to be able to do their best to try to win one game or even two......
So even if Wu Dawei's performance is excellent, they will still do their best.
Now they are trying to maintain the lead that they have managed to achieve so far, but at this time, Wu Dawei will still bring them great pressure after he plays.
There is no doubt about this, when Wu Dawei is on the court, he can score on the basketball court as easily as picking up something.
At least at this time, the Indiana Pacers still can't come up with an effective plan to contain Wu's personal attack.
In such a situation, they can only watch Wu Dawei easily score on the offensive end.
Of course, this was also somewhat demoralizing for the Indiana Pacers, after all, they were able to score a goal with the Cleveland Cavaliers' best defense, and Wu Dawei's goal seemed so easy.
His tonnage is just too good in the number three position. With a strong tonnage, his speed is really not slow.
In this way, it naturally makes the Indiana Pacers feel a headache on the defensive end, but the more headaches they have, the more they have nothing to say.
So in such a situation, the Indiana Pacers can only choose to continue to maintain their firepower on the offensive end.
Only by maintaining their firepower on the offensive end will the Indiana Pacers be able to maintain their current lead with difficulty......
It was a tough thing for the Indiana Pacers, but at this point they had no choice; But at the same time, they seem to be so tenacious, in fact, they also cause great trouble for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, Wu Dawei is also a human being, and he will also feel tired. No matter how good he is on the offensive end, he needs to take a break. He didn't get a second of rest in the entire second half of the game in the last game, and now, he looks so unoptimistic.
For Wu Dawei, this is not a test, a difficult journey.
It's just that at this time, Wu Dawei must also insist on holding on like the current Indiana Pacers.
Because for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as long as they win this game tonight, then they can complete the Eastern Conference Finals.
Of course, this is a very good thing, so at this time, Wu Dawei no matter how difficult he feels. He will definitely choose to stick with it.
Because that's what he has to do.
But overall, when Wu Dawei re-entered the basketball court in the second quarter of the game, the shape of the game naturally changed again.
It's no longer like before, with the Indiana Pacers suppressing the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cleveland Cavaliers also began to launch a counterattack under the leadership of Wu Dawei.
And because Wu Dawei is really unstoppable, this will also consume the energy of the Indiana Pacers on the defensive end even more.
Their bodies will definitely be affected, and as the game progresses, they will definitely be implicated on the offensive end.
So slowly. The Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, are trying to regain the gap. There was no doubt about that, and Wu maintained his excellent individual offensive performance in the first quarter of the game.
Although the gap in the score was once continued to be opened by the Indiana Pacers, it was slowly filled.
Because the Indiana Pacers, who played as a pure substitute, played well in the first period of the second quarter. But in the face of Wu Dawei, they still seem to be a little weak after all.
So in such a situation, they naturally began to slowly show decline, and the head coach of the Indiana Pacers naturally couldn't watch his team show decline and ignore it at this time.
So at this time, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers is naturally going to start making corresponding personnel adjustments.
When the score between the two sides was equalized again with the efforts of Wu Dawei, the Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers also made personnel adjustments at the same time.
Both sides have replaced their core players on the court, and Wu Dawei has been playing for several minutes in a row at this time.
Naturally, his physical strength will be consumed a lot, and that's something the head coach of the Indiana Pacers would like to see.
His strategy is a bit like a horse race, but as for the effect, of course, it depends on the situation after the race resumes.
After all, Wu Dawei has not played a whole game without rest, and for him, although this is a test, it is not something unacceptable.
If Wu Dawei continues to maintain a high-intensity offensive and defensive schedule after the start of the game, then such a strategy of the head coach of the Indiana Pacers will undoubtedly be difficult to work.
And in fact, at this time, for Paul. George's return to the court will still put pressure on him, if not more.
After all, at this time, Wu Dawei had already scored 18 points, and he was about to run for 20 points before he even played half of the game in the second quarter, which was almost a sure thing.
If the opponent scores 40 points on the head in every game, this is of course a very cruel thing for a player with a defensive background. (To be continued......)
