Soon after Stephens stepped down, the Cleveland Cavaliers were in a position to take the initiative on the basketball court.

In this regard, the Indiana Pacers, who are temporarily missing a big general, will be difficult to make a relatively effective counterattack at this time.

The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the game just like they did in the previous game.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it was definitely a good thing to be able to continue to take the lead in Game 2.

At the same time, they naturally hope to take advantage of such a period of time to widen the score gap between the two sides as much as possible.

Because for the Cleveland Cavaliers, there is no doubt that this is the best opportunity at this moment. If the score can be opened at this point, then when Stephens is back on the basketball court, it will be difficult for the Indiana Pacers to make any big waves.

Therefore, at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense is very fast, and the Indiana Pacers can only frequently parry and dodge in such a situation.

But more and more, they will be extremely passive on the basketball court, and in this way, of course, they are very good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

However, when the Cleveland Cavaliers took a lead on the basketball court and began to slowly extend that lead, Lance, who was sitting on the court, was sitting on the court. Stephens was getting more and more anxious at this point.

Because he didn't know how to deal with such a situation, after all, he was sitting under the basketball court at this time, and he had no way to interfere with the situation on the basketball court.

So he felt more and more anxious, but at this moment, Stephens was sitting under the basketball court, but there was nothing he could do.

Because he didn't know what to do at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers had gradually held the advantage firmly in the palm of their hands in such a situation.

And Stephens will definitely not be able to get on the court in a short period of time, because the head coach of the team will definitely not risk letting him continue in the early start of the game. He got his third foul in the game.

Thinking of this, the more Stephens will dislike Wu Dawei even more, because his two fouls were all wasted on Wu Dawei.

So in a situation like this, for Stephens, of course, he would feel very unhappy about it.

Of course, this will make him more and more want to get back to the basketball court as quickly as possible. But the problem is that at this time, for the head coach of the Indiana Pacers, he will definitely not let Stephens get his wish at this time.

Even at this point in time. The Indiana Pacers are in terrible shape, but at this point, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers is still calm.

Because he didn't want the team to be completely led by the nose from the start, although he was forced to challenge the team at the beginning of the game, at least for now, he still wants to be able to execute the game step by step.

After all, for the Indiana Pacers, they don't have an advantage in terms of strength, and at this moment, they are somewhat led by the Cleveland Cavaliers to dominate, so at this time. For the Indiana Pacers, of course, they still want to play the next games at their own pace.

It's just that at this time on the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely not give the Indiana Pacers too many opportunities like this.

Naturally, in this way. The Indiana Pacers are going to face a very difficult situation, and they certainly don't want to face it, but they have to face it at this time.

So more and more, Lance sat on the sidelines. Stephens was even more disgusted with Wu Dawei. Of course, after he sat on the sidelines and calmed down for a while, he would also feel a little annoyed by his irrational behavior before.

Because even if he was a little more sensible. will not let the team fall into such a passive situation at this time,

So no matter how unhappy Stephens was at this time, there was still nothing he could do at this time.

Because the Indiana Pacers can't change the situation at this time, at least after the Cleveland Cavaliers occupy a completely dominant position, the shape is completely biased towards the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And judging from the current shape, it is also the Cleveland Cavaliers who occupy a more advantageous position, they are the side fighting at home, and they are already strong.

So now for the Indiana Pacers, the best situation is that they can bite the score gap in the next game.

That way they might have a chance in the rest of the game, which is a bit of a fantasy from the previous game.

Although the players of the Indiana Pacers certainly don't like such a situation very much, but the shape is pressing, and now the Indiana Pacers can only be forced to bow their heads when the Cleveland Cavaliers are so strong.

In such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are playing at home, naturally continued to maintain their lead at the end of the first quarter of the game.

Wu Dawei's expression in the first quarter is very strong, perhaps because of Stephens's provocation of Wu Dawei before, so that Wu Dawei's love xù also rose together.

In the entire first quarter of the game, Wu Dawei played a total of 9 minutes, and in these 9 minutes, Wu Dawei scored a total of 12 points and 4 assists.

He continued to run amok on the offensive end, and he also gave way to Paul. George felt extremely uncomfortable at this time, because in the face of Wu Dawei's ball on the offensive end, he could only have a weak thought in his mind every time.

This situation is really frustrating. So when he was substituted, Paul. George was actually a little frustrated.

This made Stephens even more depressed, because he almost sat on the sidelines and watched Wu Dawei show off his power on the basketball court.

But there was nothing he could do about it, which was indeed something that made Stephens feel very depressed.

Because when he got back on the pitch. Wu Dawei, who was very disgusted by him, was already the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time. Scott was substituted and rested.

This made him quite dissatisfied, because he just wanted to be able to compete with Wu Dawei on the basketball court, but obviously at this time, Wu Dawei didn't care about these at all.

For Wu Dawei, what he cares more about is how the team can continue to maintain such a leading edge in the next games.

Until this game is over, the Indiana Pacers will be hoping to win this game, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are even more so.

After all, they're playing at home, and this season is crucial for the Cleveland Cavaliers. So at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they definitely don't want to make any mistakes in the playoffs, even if it's just a little.

They want to go all the way through the playoffs, as if they are now on a five-game winning streak, and they hope that after tonight's game, they can make it their sixth straight game of the playoffs.

So when Wu Dawei came off the field, he was quite satisfied with the team's current lead. Even later Lance. Stephens is back on the basketball court. However, at the end of the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers still led the Indiana Pacers by as many as 8 points at 29-21.

Missing Reims. Stephens, the Indiana Pacers aren't just missing a player with a lot of momentum. At the same time, they are also missing some creative things on the offensive end, and there is no doubt that Lance. Stephens is one of the most pivotal figures.

To this Lance. Of course, Stephens felt extremely disappointed, but for him, he naturally rekindled his fighting spirit at this time.

Because he finally didn't sit on the bench anymore. At this time, taking advantage of the rotation of the opposing team's lineup, Stephens also hopes that he can help his team. At this point, the disadvantage of the score was completely reversed.

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, of course, they have a chance, and it depends on whether the Indiana Pacers can catch it at this moment.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers said that at this time they will bring David Wu and Dwight Will. Howard came off the court to rest, but it was usually for Carey to take the game. Irving is in this time frame to lead the team forward.

So even if Stephens is very energetic at this time, it is still relatively difficult for him to do something if he really wants to do something.

After all, the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to take the lead in this game was not only Wu Dawei's performance, but his teammates were also in good shape.

You must know that the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers have been able to achieve a 74-8 record this season is not only because of Wu Dawei's excellent performance and strong core roster structure.

At the same time, because the state of the whole team is extremely good this season, they can play such a good form in the regular season.

Naturally, at this time, Stephens wants to turn the score around immediately, which will also become a very difficult thing.

After all, even if there is no Wu Dawei on the basketball court, but Carey. Owen and the others will not give them a chance to turn the game around lightly.

So for Stephens, he just felt that tonight's game, how could he be so irritable. It was completely different from what he imagined, so at this time, of course, he would feel extremely depressed.

But no matter how depressed he is, for Stephens, he still has to fight for his team to win the game at this moment.

Therefore, in the face of the backward situation, he naturally had to do his best to contain the opponent's offensive, and tried to flip the score gap back.

And when he got back on the court, Stephens did exactly that. It's just that obviously, his strength is not as outstanding as Wu Dawei, so it is not easy for him to turn the situation of the game around by himself in such a situation.

Because he is not strong after all, he will naturally feel very difficult at this time, although in front of the media, Stephens looks extremely high-profile, but it is obviously not in line with his appearance on the basketball court.

He was able to help the Indiana Pacers in the last game, repeatedly threatening the Cleveland Cavaliers' advantage. There are also some outbreaks in it.

After all, his performance in the first round of the playoffs was only 14 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, which is nothing compared to Wu Dawei's average of 40 points per game in the first round of the series.

So in such a situation, Stephens will naturally be in the confrontation with Wu Dawei, and he will not be favored by people.

Because Wu Dawei is obviously the better player, while Stephens looks like a person who is not convinced but does not have much strength to shake Wu Dawei's current situation. 、

It is also commonly known as the mouth cannon, although it is said that he caused great trouble for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last game. But people don't think that it's Reims. Stephens is the norm in the middle of the game.

After all, in the eyes of most people, Lance. Stephens isn't a very good player, maybe he's a rising star. But most of the time, it is still a relatively unreliable thing for him to be compared with Wu Dawei.

After all, Wu Dawei's table this season doesn't need to say anything more, and he will basically lock in a qiē that he can get honors this season.

For most people. David Wu will certainly be the biggest winner this season, and people are looking forward to another great dynasty for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the league this season.

And there is no doubt that Wu Dawei is the most dazzling star in this great dynasty. No one can ignore what he's done in this team.

Over the past three seasons, the Cleveland people have watched Wu slowly grow from an unpopular corner to one of the best players in the league.

And even this season, which has reached its peak, Wu Dawei still seems to continue to grow. It seems that there is no one who can contain Wu Dawei's appearance.

Since the start of this season's playoffs, Wu Dawei has barely encountered too many obstacles, he is the best star in the league, and no one can compare to him.

So at this time when Lance. When Stephens wants to compete with Wu Dawei, how can too many people think that Lance. Stephens can gain the upper hand and win in the battle with Wu Dawei.

The gap between them is incomparably huge, as if it is a moat, Wu Dawei is on the other side of the sky, and Lance. Stephens could only look up at him.

So in such a situation, for Wu Dawei, he has no special atmosphere in the face of the opponent's provocation, of course, for such a blatant provocation as Stephens, Wu Dawei is of course very unhappy in his heart.

But when he left the game in the first quarter, those unhappy thoughts in his heart had disappeared.

Because there is no doubt that he has helped his team and completely gained the upper hand in the game, and in such a situation, for Wu Dawei, regardless of Lance. No matter how Stephens clamoured at this time, he would no longer have a very bad feeling in his heart.

So at this time, Wu Dawei didn't care about how Stephens was on the basketball court, and although Stephens led the team at this time, he still couldn't be in Kyrie. There is too much to do in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers brought by Irving.

Carey. Irving led the team to a firm grip on the game, while Stephens was a little anxious in such a situation.

He wanted to close the gap, but it was clear that such a situation would not be possible very quickly in a short period of time.

After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the best team this season, and the Indiana Pacers, although they are also very good, are still slightly inferior to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So in such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly won't give the Indiana Pacers any chance lightly.

Although Wu Dawei sat on the sidelines, Lance. Stephens and the head coach of the Indiana Pacers are hoping to take advantage of this period of time to catch up with the Indiana Pacers in the first quarter.

But they were obviously a little too optimistic, as if they felt they had a good chance in this game before the start of this game. (To be continued......)
