For the Indiana Pacers, the current format of the game is naturally not very favorable to them, although the score was equalized, the two sides are actually standing on the same starting line, but Wu Dawei is about to score 20 points, and now the second quarter of the game has not even been able to play halfway.
That's a very bad thing, because if David Wu can continue to perform like this, then it will undoubtedly mean that the Indiana Pacers will continue to face a difficult problem that they will never be able to solve.
This difficulty will always bother them, making it impossible for them to take the lead in the game, which is certainly not something the Indiana Pacers want to see, but Wu Dawei is also really in front of them, making it difficult for them to move an inch.
The shape is not good, so it is easy for Indianans to recall the previous game, after all, in that game, the Indiana Pacers were originally facing a more huge advantage, but in the end they were still defeated by Wu Dawei's men.
Of course, it is not in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, if there is no Wu Dawei's deposit, then in the eyes of the Indiana Pacers, they will definitely win the last game, and even say that not to mention the last game, it is still unknown who will die in the score of this series.
If it weren't for Wu, then the Indiana Pacers believe they would never be as wolfish as they are now, because they believe in their own strength.
It's just that Wu Dawei is too much of a headache for them in this round of the series, otherwise in the eyes of the Indiana Pacers, they will definitely have a chance to take the lead in this round of the series.
There is no doubt about this, but Wu Dawei's existence has made this disappear without a trace.
This is also a point that makes the Indians feel extremely indignant, but they really have nothing to do about it, who made Wu Dawei play such a good performance. And the Indians have nothing to do.
But if they can contain Wu Dawei's attack and defense a little, they will not fall into the same field as they are today, so they can only blame themselves.
For the Indiana Pacers, their priority now is to contain Wu's play, otherwise, they will need to play better on the offensive end.
If the Indiana Pacers want to have a chance of winning the game in this game, then they must do at least one of these two conditions.
If they can't do any of them, then what are they talking about winning the game? So at this time, it's extremely important for the Indiana Pacers.
They really need to play better, both on the offensive end and against Wu Dawei's attack.
At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers are certainly not particularly worried about this, because the core of the team played a good game at home night.
Before the second quarter of the game was played, Wu Dawei had already scored 18 points, and it was obvious that in this game tonight, Wu Dawei seemed to be running towards 40 points again.
Now, people seem to be getting used to it. It even seems that Wu Dawei didn't get a 40 fly in the playoffs. People will also feel very uncomfortable about it.
Whether it's for Wu Dawei or the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they will feel more pressured on the road, but overall, they are more or less used to it now.
After all, at this time. This is the second time in the series that they have been at the Bankers Living Arena, home of the Indiana Pacers.
So naturally there won't be the same nervousness as in the last game, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this game is bound for them, no matter what the opponent thinks. Anyway, for the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing away, they must be hoping to win this game.
Because as long as they can win this game, then the Cleveland Cavaliers can win this series.
In that case, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have entered the Eastern Conference Finals with 8 consecutive wins, will of course become an extremely terrifying momentum. No matter which side it is, it will naturally be more optimistic about them.
And the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally hope for this at this time, but at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they know that they can only win such a shape if they win the game in front of them.
So at this time, they naturally have to take advantage of it, and their opponent, the Indiana Pacers, don't want such a situation to happen at this time.
Although they missed that big chance in their last game, they came up with another opportunity in tonight's game, and the Indiana Pacers are certainly still hoping to take it.
So at this time, they naturally won't give up the game when the two sides are deadlocked, for them, of course, they have to do their best in this game.
Only by doing everything they can to try to seize this opportunity will they not be left with regrets in this round of the series.
For the Indiana Pacers, being swept is now almost recognized by the outside world as their end, and they naturally won't be reconciled and want to really work hard before the end of the series.
Now, the gap on the Cleveland Cavaliers has been narrowed, and this is an opportunity for them, and if they can take advantage of such an opportunity, then they will definitely try to push forward.
So even the previous three games were blown up by Wu Dawei, but Paul. George will still do his best in the face of Wu Dawei at this time, whether it is at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
After all, this is the only and last chance for the Indiana Pacers in this series, and they can only try to seize such an opportunity, or they can only watch themselves be eliminated by their opponents.
For the Indiana Pacers, of course, they still hope they can win at least one game, so even if they have already suffered too many blows in this series, they are in this game tonight. Indiana Pacers fans are still doing their best to cheer on their team.
The entire Bankers Life Arena is still cheering on and on, and for the Indiana, this team is still a team that they feel incredibly proud of.
For them, although losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers is not something they want to see, they are very clear about it in their hearts, at least their team has worked hard and fought hard from the heart.
They never gave up, and that's what makes Indiana fans happiest. So in tonight's game, Indiana Pacers fans are still trying their best to cheer for their team.
Even if they know that even if their team wins this game, they won't be able to achieve much in this round of the series, but this qiē has nothing to do with the game. It's just about the honor that belongs to Indiana.
That's a reward for their perseverance, so even if they win this game, it won't help the series, but they won't give up at the slightest chance.
And such a spirit of not giving up is undoubtedly present in the players of the Indiana Pacers on the basketball court at this time.
For them, that's why they're still fighting the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And it is precisely because of their insistence that the Indiana Pacers can still be in a stalemate with the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time when they are close to a psychological breakdown.
For them, after all, they still see some hope now, so if they can grasp such a hope. Then maybe the Indiana Pacers can win this game.
While that may not ultimately change the course of the series, it will at least save some face, and that's what the Indiana Pacers players are thinking about at this moment.
For them, the game is definitely about honor. So at this time, for them, they naturally have nothing to worry about and be afraid of.
The so-called barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, although it may be a little painful to be stepped on, but it is more their singleton mentality at this time. It will give the Indiana Pacers players nothing to fear.
After all, they have stepped on the gravel road, and what could be more painful than that.
So at this time, for the players of the Indiana Pacers, they will naturally do their best to maintain the current game situation. They will even try to regain the advantage of the score in their own hands.
After all, for the players of the Indiana Pacers, the current situation of the game is scorched, which means that both sides actually have opportunities.
In such a situation, the morale of the Indiana Pacers will naturally rise slowly after seeing hope.
This is certainly not good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing on the road, but it has allowed the Indiana Pacers to find some opportunities.
Although Wu Dawei's performance in tonight's game is still the same as in the previous games, and the Indiana Pacers are still unable to do anything to block Wu Dawei's personal attack, but the Indiana Pacers themselves have played a very good role on the offensive end.
And such a table is also a headache for the away Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, because they can't contain the Indiana Pacers' offensive table, which means that it is difficult for them to open up the score gap at once in the game at this moment.
It's very difficult for them to get rid of the Indiana Pacers, and if they keep their opponents in their backs, then it's definitely a very bad thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers who are playing on the road.
So there is no doubt that such a situation is also a situation that makes the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers who is playing away, Byron. Scott sensed worried.
It was a far cry from what he had envisioned before the game, when he thought the Indiana Pacers would only make a token comeback in this game. Then they disarmed and surrendered.
They have lost three series in a row at Byron. In Scott's opinion, the opponent's psychological defense should be a collapse, especially after the last game, which he is undoubtedly sure.
But he didn't expect that when the curtain really kicked off on this game, the shape shì would become like this. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers did not play extremely passive from the start in this game tonight as they did in the previous game, the anxious shape was never a favorable factor for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Especially since this is still playing in the opponent's home stadium. This is even more so that Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Brown. Scott felt worried.
originally thought that the replacement of Wu Dawei would speed up the process of the game, but no one expected that the opponent Indiana Pacers would be completely open on the offensive end from the beginning of the second quarter.
Although Wu Dawei's appearance on the offensive end is unstoppable, on the defensive end, he is only one person with only 2 hands, no matter how good his defensive ability is, Wu Dawei will not be able to defend the entire Indiana Pacers offense alone.
So at this time, in Byron. Scott's anxious form is really bad for his team, and he wants to make a change.
But except for Wu Dawei, the performance of the whole team is not very good. It was at this time that he was quite embarrassed to cook without rice......
So in such a case, Byron. Scott could only choose to continue to wait and see. After all, at this time, the game between the two sides was still anxious together, so there was no way to tell the winner for a while.
There's no need to rush too much, after all, it's someone else's home field. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are playing away from home after all, and objectively the above shape will definitely be against them all the time.
And in such a situation, the managers of both teams dare not take it lightly, so that at this time. Neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Indiana Pacers took the initiative to make changes.
And in this way, the shape of the game continued, throughout the second quarter of the game. The shape of the game is so scorching.
Whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, it's hard to break such a situation. The scorching situation continued until the end of the second quarter, when the score was tied at the end of the first half.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were still leading by three points at the end of the first quarter, but now it's all gone.
The two sides are going to be on the same starting line again, which will be both dissatisfying and surprising for both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers.
And not to mention the two teams, the outside world is also very surprised by such a half-time score. Because before this game started, almost everyone was not optimistic about the Indiana Pacers, and everyone thought it was going to be a one-sided game.
Although the Indiana Pacers are said to be the home side, after all, they have lost all aspects of the previous three games, even the closest to winning the third game, and in the end they were still overturned by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So in such a situation, the outside world's confidence in the Indiana Pacers is naturally exhausted.
So at half-time, when everyone saw that the score was a draw, everyone would be extremely surprised by it.
Because there is no doubt that such a score is something that no one could have imagined, and no one thinks that the Indiana Pacers will have any chances in this game, and yet they did just that.
At the end of the half, the Indiana Pacers equalized to the surprise of countless people, including the Indiana fans in the Bankers' Living Arena.
For them, the team will undoubtedly continue the good performance of the previous game tonight, which is certainly something they would like to see, and they will naturally have some illusions about it.
Of course, they still hope that their team can win the game, and now that they see such a sign, they naturally will not want to miss it.
In this round of the series, even if the Indianans can't win the series, if they can win a game, it's a great thing for them.
Of course, they were expecting a win, so at this point, the halftime was over and the score was a draw, which couldn't have been better for the Indiana Pacers! (To be continued......)
