The Indiana Pacers took their first game at home very seriously, as they didn't want to be beaten 2-0 in the series and continue to be won by their opponents at their home court.
It's not something they want to see, so at this point, it's a big game for the Indiana Pacers.
They don't want any accidents, they want to be able to go smoothly, because they desperately want to win this game, and they don't have any other thoughts.
For the Indiana Pacers, that's their only thought in this game, and compared to the previous two games, the Indiana's belief in this game tonight is much stronger.
For Indians, there is nothing more important than winning a game in this game.
So at this time, for the entire Indiana Pacers, they don't have any reason to let their guard down in this game.
There's no doubt that they want to be the winning side, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently on two wins in the series.
The Indiana's desire to win at this time is obviously extremely strong, and no matter what the outcome of the series turns out to be, the Indiana Pacers will definitely not want a swept result.
So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they naturally need to make more efforts at this time to avoid such a thing from happening.
They don't want to be swept out by the Cleveland Cavaliers like the Charlotte Bobcats before them.
That definitely shouldn't be what the Indiana Pacers should have in this series, and for the Indiana Pacers at this point, they need to get back on the road.
The opponents are really strong, and they know this very well. But they don't shy away from it.
Because they still have self-confidence in their own strength, after all, they know that they are not Charlotte Bobcats, and they can let the Cleveland Cavaliers knead it at will.
But now in the eyes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't think the Indiana Pacers are too different from the Charlotte Bobcats.
Because they are all defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it is difficult for either the Indiana Pacers or the Charlotte Bobcats to win even one game from the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, naturally the two will not be much different. Anyway, they can't beat their deposits, which makes the Cleveland Cavaliers feel reassured.
Although the next game will be played on the home court of the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still unafraid.
They were also very quick to get to the away stadium. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing on the road will certainly be a little more difficult than playing at their home home.
Because the opposing fans will definitely not give themselves a good look as an opponent, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers have long been prepared for the most difficult situation.
Because they themselves know very well how much the opponent has great expectations for this game.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers' first game on the road is naturally even more daring to take it lightly. They don't want their winning streak to end at this point, which is the most important thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers right now. It is in the next crucial game to win the game.
As long as they can win this first game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be able to extend their lead to three.
And once the Cleveland Cavaliers take a 3-0 lead over their opponents in the series, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be able to enter the series in this round. Basically, it's going to win.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they will also pay great attention to this third game at the home of the Indiana Pacers.
They hope that this game will be like the previous two games, where they have the advantage and the victory, and the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to give the Indians any hope or chance.
In the third game, they thought the same. For the Indiana Pacers, they have to win at home.
In the face of the challenge of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the entire Indiana Pacers team will of course be nervous about it.
Because they don't want to be crushed by their opponents like this. For their part, the Indiana Pacers want to win this game.
If you can win this home game, then it will be a long time coming.
It's going to be a very timely battle for the Indiana Pacers, and that's what they're hoping to achieve.
It's just that at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will definitely not have any thoughts of underestimating and sympathizing with the opponent.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are bound to make this game continue to be in their pockets.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to give the Indiana Pacers any chance, even if it's just a theoretical chance, the Cleveland Cavaliers don't want to leave it to the Indiana Pacers.
Naturally, in such a situation, it will be very difficult for the Indiana Pacers to win this game.
So even if they are playing on their home court, it will still be extremely difficult for the Indiana Pacers at this time.
Because the Cleveland Cavaliers have won two consecutive games before, they are naturally demoralized at this time, and compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers who have won consecutive games at this time, the players of the Indiana Pacers are naturally not in such a good mood as they are.
But going back to their home court is a great way to give the Indiana Pacers players some confidence, or at least not to worry them like they did when they played on the road.
In general, though. Although Game 3 will be played to Indiana, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the bigger favourites to win the game.
Because the strength they showed in the playoffs is really incredible, at least the Indiana Pacers didn't be able to play such a good game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, their shape is a good one, and compared to the current shape of the Indiana, it is relatively bad.
If they can't play well in the next home game, then their form in this round of the Eastern Conference semifinals will become extremely critical.
So at this point, it's actually for the players of the Indiana Pacers. Of course, they have great expectations for this game in their hearts.
It's just that after the previous two games, the players of the Indiana Pacers also know very well in their hearts that it will not be easy for them to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Even if they are ready to return to their home stadium for the next game, it will not be easy for them to win the game.
Wu Dawei is undoubtedly a big problem for the Indiana people, and in such a situation at this moment, it is really difficult for the Indiana Pacers to win the game.
However, no matter how difficult it is, at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they are going to have the idea of winning in this game.
Because for the Indiana Pacers, they really can't afford to lose this game again. They have to win this game, there is no room for negotiation.
However, it was a very difficult thing for the Indiana Pacers, and even worse things happened before this game started.
The league announced the league's All-NBA First Team, Second Team and Third Team of the season ahead of Game 3 series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers.
No doubt. As a key player for the Cleveland Cavaliers who have made league history this season, Wu's name is undoubtedly on the list of the All-NBA of the season.
And it's not just Wu Dawei, but also Dwight. Howard also appeared in this position, and it was even more groundbreaking. Lian Kaili. Irving was also named to the First Team of the Season for the first time this season!
This is definitely a great honor for this young man, and even he himself will feel a little surprised.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have three players named to the first team at the same time, which is unique in the history of the league.
And other than that. Wu Dawei was also selected for the All-Defensive First Team of the Season at the same time!
For a core player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he certainly deserves such an honor. After all, there is no need to make a preface to his performance this season, and he is all in the eyes of people.
So at this time, almost no one will have any objection to this, and in the eyes of most people, this is of course what Wu Dawei deserves.
So at this time, for Wu Dawei, such an honorary knight was also within the scope of his expectations.
However, such an honor appeared before the start of the third game, and there was no doubt that the players of the Indiana Pacers, who were opponents of the Cleveland Cavaliers, felt a little worried and depressed.
Because in their opinion, the announcement of such an honor at this time will undoubtedly bring a great morale boost to the Cleveland Cavaliers before the game starts.
After all, you must know that the Cleveland Cavaliers have three members of the team who have been selected to the All-Season First Team, which is a league record.
In the face of such a team with three selected first-team of the season, the Indiana Pacers will naturally be a little frightened at this time.
After all, they were already at a disadvantage in the series, and now, with the news coming out before Game 3 starting, this is undoubtedly a big blow to them.
Regardless, no matter how many accolades the opponent has won, it won't stop the Indiana Pacers from wanting to win Game 3.
Because for the Indiana Pacers. They can't afford to lose at all, and if they continue to lose the game, it means that they may have to face the end of defeat in this round of the series!
They certainly don't want to be eliminated like that, but at this point, the shape they face for the Indiana Pacers is really bad.
They didn't even want to face that way, so at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, of course, they still want to win the first home game of the series as much as possible.
It's just that judging from the current shape, the Indiana Pacers want to win one game in this round of the series. It's really a difficult thing to do.
So at this time, the Indiana Pacers, who actually returned to their home court, still felt a lot of pressure.
But at least they're back at home, and they're definitely a little more relaxed than they were away from home.
So no matter what, they are bound to win this game.
Because that's the only way they can keep their hopes alive in this series, and they certainly don't want to be crushed by their opponents.
So at this time, for the players of the Indiana Pacers, they have to go all out to win, try to turn the game around at this time.
If the Cleveland Cavaliers are allowed to play like this, then the Indiana Pacers will definitely not have a chance. So maybe this home game will be the Indiana Pacers' only chance in this series.
So at this point, no matter what, the Indiana Pacers are going to rise to the challenge. As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are naturally full of confidence in this upcoming game at this time.
Because they believe in their win and their current form is fantastic. So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they don't have anything to worry about.
In their opinion, it should be their opponent to worry about, so in such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers are naturally looking forward to the third game for a long time.
They arrived in Indiana and quickly got into training. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the opponent is good, but it is not enough for them to feel particularly worried.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers were in the previous two games. But they have gained enough self-confidence, so at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are also extremely looking forward to this game.
In such a situation, of course, this day will come soon, and both sides have different moods for this game, and they are welcoming such a game at this time.
The Cleveland Cavaliers naturally want to be more confident than the Indiana Pacers at this time, but after all, this is the home of the Indiana Pacers, so the spirit of the Indiana Pacers here is also completely different.
Both sides have different moods and expectations for this game, but it is clear that although the Indiana Pacers are playing on their home court, the Cleveland Cavaliers still look menacing.
They don't seem to be afraid at all to play at home against each other, and that kind of confidence is naturally what they have gained from winning games and games this season.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they have high aspirations this season and naturally look very confident in any game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers came to Indiana with absolute confidence, and for them, the Indiana Pacers are not comparable to the Charlotte Bobcats, but they did play an extraordinary game in the previous two games, and the Indiana Pacers are also extremely wolf in front of them.
So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they didn't have too many worries because they went to the road, but the pressure on the Indiana Pacers at this time was not small.
Reims. Stephens is the one who loves the most in the middle of it anyway, and on the one hand, he hopes to take advantage of the home field to sweep away the team's bad situation in the previous two games.
On the other hand, he also knows very well that if they can't play well defensively at home, then the Indiana Pacers basically have no hope of making a difference in this series.
So at this time, Stephens is of course hoping to help the team in this game tonight.
After all, he doesn't want to be a complete lip shot, so this game is not only crucial for the team, but also for Reims. Stephens is equally important.
He doesn't want to be called a mouth cannon and megalomaniac all the time, and he also wants to be able to complete the "revenge" of Wu Dawei. (To be continued......)
