At 58:51, the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing at home, led by seven points at halftime, and the seven-point lead put them in a good mood at halftime.
And it also gives them a good idea of their prospects in the second half of the game. At least for now, the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to have the upper hand in this game, and their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, must be in a very bad mood at this time.
However, for the second half of the game, the Indiana Pacers also have self-confidence, after all, they are only 7 points behind, not 17 points.
For the second half of the game, the Indiana Pacers are not completely out of chances, so they are not particularly worried at this time.
However, they still had some trepidation about the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance in the first half, although they were not completely unpowered.
But the opponent has always suppressed them, which is something that makes them feel very uncomfortable.
Because although they tried their best to overtake the score gap in the first half of the game, they were never able to do it.
It was because they couldn't bring back the gap in the score, and the opponent's state was really a headache for the Indiana Pacers at this time.
And in the second half of the game, they will definitely feel a headache for the Indiana Pacers. Because their opponents can't say that in the second half of the game, they completely lost their form in the first half.
Of course, this is not something that everyone can say for sure, because maybe the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the form they used to have in the first half of the game, and that's a possibility.
So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, although their performance in the first half of the game made them very dissatisfied, but after the start of the second half of the game, the Indiana Pacers are still full of expectations for the second half of the game. 、
Because they believe they can still have a chance. Although the opponent is extremely strong, the Indiana Pacers are not vegetarians.
The fact that they were able to bite the score gap in the first half of the game shows that they still have the strength, although they may not be as good as the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they will definitely not be crushed by the opponent.
So after halftime, the Indiana Pacers returned to the basketball court, and they still had enough confidence.
Because they will never let their opponents beat them lightly, for them, the second half of the game is the real final battle.
In the second half of the game, if anyone can take the advantage. Then he can really get closer to winning this game.
So at this time, in fact, whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they need to have a very good performance in the next second half of the game.
If they don't have such a good game, then how can they get closer to winning the game in the second half of the game?
However, in comparison, the Cleveland Cavaliers are definitely more likely to win the game than the Indiana Pacers.
After all, no matter what you say, they're still in the game. It's seven points ahead of the Indiana Pacers.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers are of course more advantageous, while the Indiana Pacers are in a relatively disadvantaged environment in comparison.
After all, they didn't have an advantage, and they were suppressed by their opponents in the first half of the game, and at this time, they were even more disadvantaged by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, the Indiana Pacers are still very confident at this time. Although the shape shì is not so beneficial to them, it does not affect them too much.
For the Indiana Pacers, they will still have hope in this game after the start of the second half, especially Stephens.
In the first half of the game, he was very good. Especially in the second half of the second quarter, he played even better to help the Indiana Pacers not be pulled away by the Cleveland Cavaliers before the end of the first half.
And the rest was in for fifteen minutes. It was also during this period of time that the head coach of the team established a strategy of focusing on Stephens on the offensive end of the second half of the game.
Such a strategy would be very happy at this point, because of course it is something that Stephens Philadelphia would like.
And he also has the confidence to help his team catch up on the points they are currently behind in the second half.
So when you get back on the basketball court, you'll find Stephens looking a little triumphant, as if it's not the Indiana Pacers who are behind now, but the Cleveland Cavaliers. 、
This is indeed more or less uncomfortable, but Wu Dawei and other Cleveland Cavaliers players don't care about Stephens' expression at this time.
For them, what they are most concerned about at present is how to completely widen the gap in the score in the next second half of the game, so as to achieve the final victory of this game.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't care what the Indiana Pacers had in the second half of the game, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the most important thing they need to do now is to continue to play the same table they played in the first half of the game.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they were the leader in the first half of the game, and in the second half, they still believe they can have more of an advantage in this game tonight.
They are not afraid of their opponents, and regardless of what the Indiana Pacers are thinking at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they believe they can win this game in Kevis.
They are very convinced of this. As for the Indiana Pacers, they certainly don't care about the Cleveland Cavaliers' attitude towards them at this time.
Perhaps the only thing they care about is whether or not the Cleveland Cavaliers will play the same game they used to play in the second half, which is the only thing the Indiana Pacers care about.
So in fact, after the start of the second half of the game, both sides are still very confident that they will win this game. Whether it is the Indiana Pacers on the underdog side or the Cleveland Cavaliers on the dominant side, they are all extremely optimistic about their team's prospects in the second half of the game at this time.
And in such a situation, it is foreseeable that the second half of the game will definitely not be ugly. Because both sides will do their best to win their respective matches, so in such a situation. The fierce competition was predictable.
However, of course, everyone is still more optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers playing at home, after all, they are not only playing at home but also the leading side, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been in the lead in the first half of the game.
That alone is enough at this time to make people look more favorably at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, not the Indiana Pacers.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are definitely in a better position to win tonight.
And this is one of the reasons why Stephens feels extremely unconvinced, in his opinion, there is not such a big gap between the two sides, but people have always thought so.
This naturally makes his mood feel very unpleasant. So at this time, of course, he hopes that he can help his team in the next game to narrow or even overtake the score gap.
That's what he's hoping for, because he doesn't want to be held down by his opponent all the time, for the Indiana Pacers. They're also a young team and a thriving team, so they don't like to be beaten by the same team over and over again in the playoffs.
So at this point, of course, Stephens is trying to help his team and do what they didn't do in the first half. 、
That's what Stephens wants to be able to help his team do at this time, after all, that's what the Indiana Pacers made when they came to Cleveland.
They don't want to lose the first two games of the series in Cleveland. For them, even if it doesn't work, the Indiana Pacers will be hoping to win at least one game.
After all, they don't want to go back to Indiana with a 2-0 deficit because that would happen. They're going to make themselves extremely passive in the series.
After the start of the second half, neither team changed their starting lineups, and both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers always chose their starting lineups.
After the game started, the Indiana Pacers attacked first, and Stephens did not hesitate to ask for the ball in the hands of his teammates at this time, and immediately launched an attack.
And at this time, Wu Dawei was powerless, because he was replaced by Paul. George pulled the other side, and even though he wanted to go up and help his teammates defend the opponent, there was nothing he could do at this point.
As a result, he could only watch Stephens put the ball into the basket at this point.
As a result, the second half of the game had just begun, and the Indiana Pacers scored immediately, and the difference in the score became 5 points.
Stephens, who scored the goal, was also excited at this time, and he roared, which of course caused dissatisfaction among the Cleveland fans present.
As a result, there were some boos in the quick loan center, but Stephens didn't seem to care, and he even laughed, and his triumphant appearance annoyed Cleveland.
The gap in the score has come to 5 points, and I have to say that this will be a point gap that makes people rise up and ignite hope. After all, the difference of 5 points is not particularly huge. The Indiana Pacers had a chance right after the start of the second half.
After all, for the Indiana Pacers, the second half of the game had just begun, and they were already scoring right away, which was great.
The pressure naturally came to the side of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the gap in the score came to 5 points, although it was only narrowed by 2 points, but at this time, it will still make the Cleveland Cavaliers players who are playing at home feel the pressure.
They need to score the ball in the next attack and continue to take the lead. There is no doubt about that.
They won't give the Indiana Pacers any chance lightly, as the Cleveland Cavaliers will be hoping to go smoothly in the second half.
If anything happens, it's not something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, and they want to be able to control the situation on the basketball court until the game is over.
The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, will certainly not let them get their wish lightly at this time, so at this time, after the start of the second half of the game, the two sides are once again competing on the basketball court.
Surely no one will give up lightly, and in such a situation, the game will naturally start in the first minute after the start of the second half. The fight was boiling.
Neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Indiana Pacers will let go lightly in the middle of the game, as both sides will want to win the first game of the series.
So at this point, when the Cleveland Cavaliers have the ball. Naturally, they also launched their own offensive as quickly as wind and thunder.
And at this time when Carey. After Irving dribbled past half court, the person he faced became Stephens, and after just scoring a goal, Stephens immediately came to the defensive end and took the initiative to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers' offensive arrowhead.
Apparently he was looking extremely excited right now. After scoring the opening goal, Stephens wanted to extend his influence to every corner of the pitch.
At this point, it can be said that Stephens's desire for expression has exploded. And Carey. Owen did feel very tricky when facing an extremely crazy Stephens.
The opposing team's defense was so aggressive that it made Carey. Owen will feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't have a particularly firm idea of attacking in the opening game, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, most of the time, the ball would still be in the hands of Wu Dawei first.
Generally, the team will let Wu Dawei or Dwight in the opening game. Howard went to attack a few times first, while Kyrie. Owen has also adapted to this.
So at this time for Carey. Irving, after being confronted with such a defensive threat, quickly opted for passing.
Almost without any hesitation, Carey. Owen directly handed the ball into Wu Dawei's hands. And when Wu Dawei held the ball in his hand, the entire Indiana Pacers defense became cautious.
Paul. George didn't dare to be careless, because he knew that if Wu Dawei played the same way he did in the first half, then for the Indiana Pacers, they would not be in the same shape as Stephens did after Stephens scored.
Because if the Indiana Pacers want to close the score gap between the two sides lightly, it will still be very difficult for the Indiana Pacers to easily close the score gap between the two sides.
This can be compared to the situation in the first half of the game, so the Indiana Pacers players at this time certainly don't want to concede such a goal in the second half.
For them, the second half has just started and is the best chance to catch up on the scoreline, and the Indiana Pacers players are certainly not willing to let go of such an opportunity.
So at this time, when they face Wu Dawei attacking with the ball, they will be extremely cautious, because they don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
And after Wu Dawei held the ball, he faced Paul. George's defense still looked confident, because as soon as he broke through, the opponent couldn't hold up his tonnage and impact at all.
Wu Dawei rushed up directly, and at this time, Stephens immediately put aside his defender and began to pounce on Wu Dawei.
Of course, he was not convinced by Wu Dawei, so at this time he naturally wanted to stop Wu Dawei's score at this time, if he could stop Wu Dawei's score at this time, then the Indiana Pacers would have the opportunity to continue to narrow the gap in the score.
Of course, this is what they want to see, so at this time, Stephens did not hesitate to pounce on Wu Dawei.
Of course, he hoped to be able to stop Wu Dawei's attack at this time, but it was obvious that he was still a little slower when he rushed from the side, because Wu Dawei was not only strong but also extremely fast.
Just like Stephens got a good start for the Indiana Pacers in the second half of the game, Wu Dawei also responded immediately, and he also colored! (To be continued......)
