At the start of the second half, both sides scored one goal each, 60-53, which kept the gap at around 7 points.

Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers got themselves off to a good start in the second half of this game.

So at this time, it is natural that both sides will have great expectations for their prospects in the second half of the game.

When Wu Dawei faced the opponent's multi-person attack, he still threw the ball into the basket without hesitation, which was still a huge blow to the Indiana Pacers.

Stephens, in particular, felt that he and his team could play a little bit differently in the second half of the game.

And after he used his personal ability to help the team score at the beginning of the second half, it became even more realistic.

It's just that I didn't expect to return to the defensive end, and the shape is still so bad. Wu Dawei is still on the defensive end and is a very headache for the players of the Indiana Pacers.

At this time, when Wu Dawei scored a goal, he would naturally hit the Indianans, but when the ball returned to the Indiana Pacers, it was natural to rekindle their expectations for the victory of this game.

They want to do everything they can to close the deficit at this point, and that's what the Indiana Pacers players want to do the most.

So at this point, for them, at this moment, they still have to make good use of every ball they have on the offensive end.

They couldn't afford to squander a single chance to attack at this point, and Stephens was a man of all hands in the second half.

When George. After Hill got the ball again and took it across the half, Stephens took the initiative to get the ball in his hands again.

And George. Hill didn't turn down Stephens' request either, after all, at half-time. The head coach of the team has already instructed that in the second half of the game, it is necessary to focus on playing Stephens.

On the offensive end, let him play as much as possible, and at this point Paul. George didn't have too many objections, after all, letting him face Wu Dawei at this time already made him feel a very headache.

If you want to let him attack and defend it, then Paul. George wasn't confident he could do it all.

After all, Wu Dawei has already made himself feel a headache, and in the face of Wu Dawei's defense on the offensive end, Paul. George didn't dare to say that he would be able to break through the opponent's defense.

So at this point the head coach of the team asked Stephens to be the main offense, and Paul was the main attacker. George didn't have much of an opinion. What's more, now on the offensive end, Wu Dawei is defending himself. If he can pull down the weak side of the Cleveland Cavaliers' outside defense when his teammates are attacking, then it will also be of great help to the team.

So at this time Paul. George was not dissatisfied, and as for Wu Dawei, of course, at this time he could not be because of Paul. George didn't take over the offense and didn't care about him.

After all, as the number one star of the Indiana Pacers, if you have a bad relationship with Paul. George had any contempt and indulgence in his words, then Paul. George is sure to teach you a very big lesson. 、

And this lesson may make people feel very regretful, so even Paul . . . George hasn't touched basketball since the start of the second half. But Wu Dawei is still inseparable from Paul. George's side.

Anyway, after all, he is only one person with two arms, and he can't manage everyone at such a large distance on the basketball court.

Naturally, in such a situation, Wu Dawei can only try his best to try to help his teammates. But at this point, when Stephens attacked, Paul . George still pulled Wu Dawei to the side.

And when Stephens is attacking with the ball, Wu Dawei is very difficult to interfere with him in such a situation.

And after the start of the second half of the game. Obviously, Stephens also continued his good form in the final stages of the first half.

So he threw the ball into the basket, and that way, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The shape they are facing is naturally not good.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they need to reopen the score in the next offense.

After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their current lead is not particularly huge, so in such a situation, if they can't maintain their lead on the offensive end during the game, then the shape will definitely be in jeopardy.

After all, their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, are not an easy opponent to mess with, and although the Cleveland Cavaliers are better than their opponents, if they want to win this game, it is not just these few points that are enough.

If the Cleveland Cavaliers just want to use those few points to try and win this game, then it will feel like a dream.

Because their opponents are not general, in the first round of the series, the Indiana Pacers' table is also very good.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, after a series of defensive misses, they naturally need to use goals on the offensive end to maintain their lead.

Stephens' aggressive attack did cause the Cleveland Cavaliers a lot of trouble at this point, and he himself naturally felt a little complacent about it.

After all, his feeling on the offensive end is something that makes the Cleveland feel helpless, and Stephens will certainly love that feeling.

It's just that now the ball is back in the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they certainly want to be able to convert the ball into scoring at this point.

But the Indiana Pacers certainly don't want that to happen, so at this point, the Indiana Pacers players are certainly going to do everything they can to curb the Cleveland Cavaliers' scoring momentum.

But Dwight. Howard was already in a position on the inside, and when he was in position, Kyrie. Owen also immediately chose to pass the ball into his hands.

And Dwight, who received the pass. Howard didn't hesitate in the paint, and he immediately launched an attack on the basket.

However, at this time, the Indiana Pacers' defense was also rapidly recovered. They certainly won't be able to let the Cleveland Cavaliers score lightly.

Stephens, in particular, helped his team score in quick succession at the start of the second half, and at this point, it was natural that he would be hoping to be a huge help to his team in the defensive end.

Because if it's just offense, it can't actually give the most help to the Indiana Pacers, who are behind at this moment, because if they score one and then the Cleveland Cavaliers also score one, then their efforts will not be in vain. 、

So at this time, the Indiana Pacers naturally hope to strengthen their own energy on the defensive end, if they can also play well on the defensive end, then the Cleveland Cavaliers' current lead will soon be chased back by the Indiana Pacers. 、

So at this point for the Cleveland Cavaliers. On the defensive end, they will naturally encounter an all-out comeback from the Indiana Pacers.

Stephens was arguably the hardest working player on the defensive end at this point, and he saw Dwight D. White. As soon as Howard wanted to attack the inside, he immediately pounced on it like crazy.

Dwight. Howard didn't expect Stephens to lunge at him like crazy. In Hibbert's one-on-one battle, Dwight. Howard already had the upper hand.

It's just a pity that Cheng Bites Kings Stephens, who suddenly came out from the side at this moment, is indeed making Dwight at this time. Howard was taken aback.

He had just thrown the ball to the basket when he suddenly saw his opponent pounce on him. Howard was arguably unprepared, so the ball was blocked by Stephens after he attacked from the flank.

This is definitely a huge morale boost for the Indiana Pacers. At this time, the ball blocked by Stephens was also caught by the other players of the Indiana Pacers.

In this way, the Indiana Pacers can start to launch a counterattack, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' defense is somewhat messy at this moment.

After all, the opponent's counterattack is extremely fast. At this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers' defense is a little messy.

Because they seem to be more hurried, and at this time, the players of the Indiana Pacers are more courageous than one another.

Obviously, this is because they see an opportunity to continue to close the gap in the score, and in the face of such an opportunity, the players of the Indiana Pacers are certainly not willing to let it go so lightly.

After all, in the whole first half of the game. The players of the Indiana Pacers have not been able to find even a single chance to close the gap.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in control of the situation on the basketball court, which is very frustrating for the players of the Indiana Pacers.

And at this moment, there is no doubt that they finally see such an opportunity. Faced with such an opportunity, how can the players of the Indiana Pacers feel indifferent to this?

Naturally, they have to do their best to score this time, because if they can throw the ball into the basket in this attack, then they can continue to narrow the gap from five points to a range that is more conducive to catching up with the score.

Of course, this is something that the Indiana Pacers have been thinking about for a long time, so when they get such an opportunity at this time, they are thinking that in the next offense, they must put the ball in the basket this time.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' retreat looked a little flustered at this point, and obviously, it was also because they were caught off guard by the opponent's quick offense.

While they did everything they could to keep up with the Indiana Pacers' rapid advance, it was clearly not an easy thing to do at this point.

Stephens showed great energy at this point, and after the block, he rushed through the half court very quickly. And after receiving a pass from his teammates, Stephens made another layup!

When the second half of the game had just begun, Stephens scored three goals in a row, and he had already helped the Indiana Pacers score six points in a row in the second half of the game, and at the same time, the score gap naturally became 3 points.

The situation faced by the Cleveland Cavaliers suddenly became tense, which was certainly not something they wanted to see, but at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they had to accept such a thing.

Because their opponent is already completely on the rise, and at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally appear extremely passive, and the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Byron. Scott. At this time, I immediately asked for a pause.

Although the second half of the game was just started less than 2 minutes, it was still less than 2 minutes into the second half. In Scott's view, this timeout was a necessity.

Now the Indiana Pacers seem to be on the rise, and if the Cleveland Cavaliers don't make some changes at this time, then maybe the lead will suddenly become a disadvantage.

Byron. Scott would never want the team to take the lead for most of the half, and he was overtaken by the opponent at this time.

It wasn't something he wanted to see, so he didn't hesitate to ask for a timeout. After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they should have been very dominant, but after the start of the second half of the game, their shape on the basketball court made people feel very anxious.

The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't find their groove in the game at all. At least in the period when the game just started, the Cleveland Cavaliers only relied on Wu Dawei's personal ability to score 2 points, and in the following time, they were a little depressed by Stephens.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, this shouldn't have been what the second half should have been. So at this point, of course, they will become more and more dissatisfied with this.

And the head coach Byron. After Scott called a timeout, he was furious at the players' performance at the timeout.

He lashed out at the players, and the Cleveland Cavaliers players were clearly unhappy with their own performances at the start of the second half.

It's certainly not something they want to see. After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who originally led by 7 points at halftime, they hoped that they could continue to extend their lead in the second half of the game. It even directly stretched the gap in the score to double digits, or even directly established the winning momentum of the game.

But obviously, judging from the current shape, it is not easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to do these things at the moment.

Because even at this moment, they can't even protect their original lead. Naturally, not to mention anything to widen the gap in the score in the second half of the game.

At present, they still don't think about such a thing, the most important thing at the moment, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have to think about how to reopen the score gap to about 7 points in the next game.

After all, this was the lead they built up in the first half, and the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly wouldn't want to lose that lead at the start of the second half.

At this time, when the players of the Indiana Pacers returned to the bench, they naturally seemed very happy.

After all, for the Indiana Pacers, although they are still behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, at least for now, they have quickly caught up with the score gap, and even stopped the opponent.

This makes them believe that as long as they can continue to maintain such a momentum, then the Indiana Pacers will be able to catch up with the score or even complete the comeback in this game sooner or later.

Stephens, in particular, was the one who scored after the start of the second half, and it was because of his six consecutive points that the Cleveland Cavaliers had to ask for a timeout at this time.

It can be said that he helped the Indiana Pacers with his own strength, and caught up with the score gap at this time.

So at this time, of course, Stephens will feel very excited about this, and the team's teammates and the team's head coach are trying their best to praise Stephens for his performance in the previous game. (To be continued......)
