Reims. Stephens built a big lead for the Indiana Pacers with a surprise three-pointer, and it also brought the atmosphere of the entire bankers living arena to a climax. 、

And now they hope to take advantage of this atmosphere to go one step further at this time. The Cleveland Cavaliers' offense became a top priority this time in the first defense, and when Wu Dawei held the ball, the Indiana Pacers still felt Alexander's.

However, when Wu Dawei launched an attack with the ball, the Indiana immediately implemented a very resolute entrapment strategy against him.

Without any hesitation, perhaps it was previously passed by Wu Dawei to Carey. Irving's ball, which he couldn't get in the open spot, made the Indiana even more daring when he was in the bag.

Therefore, in such a situation, it is obviously a very difficult thing for Wu Dawei to launch an attack on his own until the end.

Because the opponent even carried out a three-person attack on Wu Dawei this time, and in such a situation, it was too difficult for Wu Dawei to throw the ball into the basket.

So Wu Dawei chose to pass again, and Danny. Green also got the ball outside the three-point line, but he couldn't throw it into the basket.

It's like Carey before. Owen as Danny. Green also couldn't get the ball into the basket.

In this way, the ball fell to the Indiana Pacers again, and the Pacers were naturally going to quickly advance to the halfcourt at this time.

It's a great opportunity for them to keep the ball in the basket and then open up the scoreline.

The current score of 7-2 has put the Indiana Pacers in a good mood, and they are extremely excited after advancing to the halftime.

Even Paul. After receiving a pass from a teammate, George also learned from the previous Lance. Stephens the same. Throw the ball straight to the basket!

Although Wu Dawei had the intention to intercept it, he was still one step slower after all. Paul. George and Lance before that. Stephens' choice was exactly the same, that is, he chose to shoot one step beyond the three-point line.

It was a surprise to feel that the ball was still in the basket in such a situation.

This was even more unexpected, and in such a situation, the score naturally became 10-2, and the Indiana Pacers extended their lead even further.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's a great start to tonight's game. It's just too bad, it's not what they want.

But at this point, they had to accept it. And Wu Dawei is naturally the one who feels the most anxious, seeing that the team is so bad in the first game away, of course he hopes to use his watch to help the team.

However, his two consecutive passes to his outside teammates were not able to convert them into points, which was even more anxious at this time.

So at this time, for Wu Dawei, he needs to find another way, after all, his teammates' performance in the previous two empty three-point positions has somewhat shown that everyone feels bad tonight.

So there's no need to keep going and have to shoot three-pointers. In such a situation, Wu Dawei naturally hopes to help the team with offense.

However, he has encountered tight pinching attacks from opponents before, so this time, when Wu Dawei held the ball again. He made Dwight. Howard came up and made a pick-and-roll for himself.

Wu Dawei took advantage of such a block, and chose to go down at this time, and he soon encountered the Indiana Pacers again for his pinch.

Wu Dawei didn't hesitate, he chose to pass the ball after being caught in the pinch. And this time it's not to the outside line.

After helping Wu Dawei do the pick-and-roll, Dwight. Howard chose to go down, and Wu Dawei was directly in such a situation. Passed the ball to Dwight, who was in the middle of the line. Howard's hands.

The latter, after receiving the pass, was almost faced with an empty blue. Faced with such a situation, Dwight. Howard, of course, will not hesitate at all!

He jumped up directly, and then smashed the ball into the basket with a powerful dunk.

Such a goal is undoubtedly a timely goal for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time; As for their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, they will feel a little more frustrated.

Although even Dwight. Howard slammed the ball into the basket, but it was only two points.

In fact, it doesn't have much impact on the Indiana Pacers' current lead, and they are still leading the Cleveland Cavaliers 10-4.

They were frustrated to let the Cleveland Cavaliers score, and they couldn't continue their high-pressure policy.

After all, Dwight. Howard's individual ability is also outstanding, if the Indiana Pacers have to invest a lot of troops to defend Wu Dawei, they will continue to invest troops to contain Dwight. Howard, it's going to be extremely difficult.

And it's easy to lose sight of one over the other, so at this time, the Indiana Pacers would never do that.

For them, their biggest enemy is, of course, Wu Dawei. So for them, as long as they defend Wu Dawei, as for the others, they can only do their best.

If they can defend it, that's the best thing, and if they can't defend it, there's no way to do it, after all, they don't have three heads and six arms.

And for the Indiana Pacers, in their opinion, as long as they can limit Wu Dawei's play, then their hopes of winning this game will be greatly increased.

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they will definitely be very determined to implement such a policy and strategy.

Because that's the key to whether or not they can win, for the Indiana Pacers, after playing so well in the opening game. Naturally, they'll want to keep the momentum going until the game is really over.

Because this way, the Indiana Pacers will be able to reverse their huge decline in this series a little bit at this time.

They want to win this game so they can make it 1-2 in the series, which is definitely a good thing for them to come back to home.

So at this point, they naturally have to do everything they can to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, and only then can they keep their hopes of a comeback in this series.

If they can't win this series, then the Indiana Pacers will basically lose all of their hopes for the season.

And being eliminated from the competition is basically their only ending. None of this is something the Indiana Pacers want to see, so at this point, they need to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers as much as they can.

And the good situation is their best chance, so at this point, they will feel sad because it is just a goal.

However, they must have picked up their minds quickly, as the ball was back in the hands of the Indiana Pacers, and they needed to throw the ball into the basket for the rest of the game.

While the Cleveland Cavaliers relied on Wu Dawei and Dwight. Howard teamed up to throw the ball in, but the Indiana Pacers were able to throw it into the basket as soon as they looked back. Then they can still maintain the difference in the score at the previous level.

So at this time, the Indiana Pacers seem extremely serious. George. Instead of handing the ball to the two teammates on the outside, Hill threw David on the inside with a big hand. West's hands.

Facing Andrew. Valacho's defense, West still looks confident. So at this time. West attacked directly, and once West attacked, Valacho was going to catch up.

But he couldn't defend against David. West's offense, the latter cleverly used a turnaround hook to throw the ball into the basket again.

12 to 4. The Indiana Pacers had a firm grip on the lead in this game. After taking the lead, they didn't seem too impatient. It's about playing steadily and steadily, always maintaining an advantage.

In this way, the side that should be in a hurry will naturally not be the Indiana Pacers, but the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After all, they didn't play well after the start, and this qiē was not what they expected before the game. No one thought that the Indiana Pacers would become so strong after returning to their home court.

They got off to a great start, and that kind of start ensured that they were in shape at this point, while the Cleveland Cavaliers were going to have a bit of a sense of crisis.

After all, this is the home of the Indiana Pacers, and all the Iqiē will definitely be more biased towards the opponent. In such a situation, if the Cleveland Cavaliers are at a disadvantage for a long time, then their hopes of winning this game will become extremely slim.

That's not something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, so at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they need some adjustments.

The head coach of the team, Byron. Scott couldn't stand it, too, so he asked for a timeout.

There was no doubt that for the Cleveland Cavaliers, such a start was a failure, so they quickly called a timeout just three or four minutes into the game.

They need to take a break while also cooling down the current frantic momentum of the Indiana Pacers.

If there is no such a buffer opportunity, then people will not doubt that the Indiana Pacers will directly open the gap to more than 15 or even 20 points with the help of such a high-morale offensive in the opening game.

Because the Cleveland Cavaliers' appearance after the opening game was indeed completely suppressed by the Indiana Pacers.

In this way, the importance of this pause is even more apparent.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't want to be completely separated by the Indiana Pacers in the first quarter of the game.

That's not something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, because then their hopes of winning this game would be extremely slim.

So this timeout is extremely crucial. And Byron. Scott only rearranged his strategy during this timeout, and did not make any adjustments to the personnel.

Because he still believes in his players, after the timeout, the two sides are still in the middle of the game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in possession at this time, they need to continue to score, Wu Dawei is still in control of the ball, and the Indiana Pacers are still heavy on Wu Dawei.

They would never have allowed Wu Dawei to score lightly, and Wu Dawei had not scored for three minutes in a row after scoring the opening goal.

However, at this time, he did not seem too anxious, but continued to make the ball for his teammates. Wu Dawei and Dwight. After Howard hit another block in the high post, Wu passed an aerial relay to Dwight. Howard.

Indiana Pacers center Roy Brown. Hibbert could do nothing about it. Dwight. Howard added another two points to the Cleveland Cavaliers with his dunked hands.

The score became 12-6, and although the Cleveland Cavaliers were always on the underdog, they were trying their best to adjust and slowly close the gap between the two sides.

They certainly won't give the Indiana Pacers a huge lead over the scoreline, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been completely in control of the game in the previous two games, so they won't want to change too much in this game.

So at this point they're trying to get the game back on what they think they think it is, and for the Indiana Pacers, they're on the back of the lead. Naturally, I hope to be able to maintain such a situation as much as possible at this time.

And their form in this game is obviously very good, so although the Cleveland Cavaliers tried their best to control the game, they were not able to succeed.

It's hard to succeed, at least in the short term. The Indiana Pacers have always maintained their lead. The Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, are struggling to catch up behind them.

This was the kind of situation that played out throughout the first half of the first quarter, and it was kind of like the previous two games, except that the roles were reversed between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers.

Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers will feel a little uncomfortable with this situation, after all, they are both the leading side. However, in the blink of an eye, the shape of shì has undergone an extremely drastic change.

That's why the Cleveland Cavaliers want to turn the game back as quickly as possible in such a situation.

Because they don't want to be overtaken by the Indiana Pacers like this, this game is very important for the Indiana Pacers. The same is true for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They will be hoping to win again in this game so that they can take a 3-0 lead over the Indiana Pacers in the series.

And once they take a 3-0 lead, it will make their hopes of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals very great, because any team that is 3-0 down in a series is basically impossible to complete a comeback.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they also desperately want to win this game.

They don't want the Indiana Pacers to go 2-0 down and catch up with the series.

So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally feel very dissatisfied with the backward shape, which is not the result they want.

So at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they must want to catch up with the score gap as quickly as possible.

However, it was clear that in the first quarter of the game, it was not easy for them to catch up with the score gap.

Because their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, were really in surprisingly good shape in the first quarter of the game, and they played very well and at the same time boosted morale.

In such a situation, it will be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to catch up.

And Wu Dawei's individual attacks on the offensive end have been repeatedly frustrated, which also makes the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very bad at this time, and it is also an important reason why they are lagging behind.

However, fortunately, Wu Dawei is slowly improving in terms of assists, which also ensures that the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be pulled away too much by the opponent at this time. So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly have a good chance to catch up with the score gap. (To be continued......)
