The Cleveland Cavaliers' next series opponent will come shortly after, and they will be the Indiana Pacers.

This is largely unexpected, as the Indiana Pacers are certainly less competitive this season than they were before, but are still one of the top teams in the league.

Although the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers is definitely higher than that of the Indiana Pacers, people are not necessarily optimistic about the prospects of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this round of the series.

Something like the last series would not have happened at this point, after all, the Indiana Pacers are not Charlotte Bobcats, but a team that will be able to climb to the brink of the playoffs.

They had already risen early last season, and they had become the top team in the East.

It's just that they can't get past the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have always been in the semifinals of the playoffs.

Once again this season, the two sides meet in the semifinals of the playoffs, and it will certainly be a tough challenge for the Indiana.

Because they can't be sure that they will be able to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in this series.

They don't have that kind of self-confidence, but they can't be blamed for that, given the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance this season has been so shocking.

In particular, their performance in the regular season is even more incredible.

With a 74-8 record and a 42-game winning streak, the Cleveland Cavaliers are almost invincible.

So in such a situation, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their shape is naturally better than that of the Indiana Pacers.

After all, in the playoff experience, the Cleveland Cavaliers are better than the Indiana Pacers, they are the dominant side, and naturally the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be afraid of the Indiana Pacers.

On the contrary, the Indiana Pacers will feel a little jealous of this. After all, they are not as strong as the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have not been able to gain the upper hand in terms of past head-to-head records, which makes them unable to seem to have any upper hand in this series.

This is especially crucial, for the Indiana Pacers they don't have home-court advantage either, but it would be in vain for any team to have home-court advantage against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After all, a 74-8 record is history, and in such a situation, it would be difficult for anyone to gain home-court advantage from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So in such a situation, the Indiana Pacers can only accept such a thing.

They just finished the game shortly after. The next thing to do is to move on to the next away game of Cleveland, and then go to the long-awaited Cleveland Cavaliers for another-for-tat match.

It's certainly a challenge for the Indiana Pacers, not only because of the quality of their opponents, but also because of their physical fitness.

Fortunately, they are still an extremely young team, so in such a situation, for the Indiana Pacers. Of course, they are still willing to take on such a challenge.

After all, no one wants to live in the shadow of their opponents all the time, and the Indiana Pacers want to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No one wants to admit defeat lightly, not to mention that the Indiana Pacers actually have the strength to challenge for the championship now.

So despite the strength of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers will never be able to tie their hands on it.

And for the Cleveland Cavaliers, when they knew their next round opponent was the Indiana Pacers. They didn't have any special surprises either.

Because they can basically be said to have been mentally prepared for such a thing, the Indiana Pacers' opponent in the first-round series is not enough to compete with the Indiana Pacers, so the victory of the Pacers is predictable.

In such a case. For their part, the Cleveland Cavaliers are certainly not afraid of the opponents they will face in the next round.

The strength of the Indiana Pacers is certainly not comparable to that of the Charlotte Bobcats, and the two sides must have a very huge gap in terms of strength.

So in such a case. The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to win 4-0 like they did in the first series, and that's basically not going to happen.

So at this point, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, what they need to do is how to play well in the next round against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Of course, they have that kind of confidence, because the team is definitely still a little stronger than the Indiana Pacers, and that's a thing of no doubt.

In addition, the Cleveland Cavaliers have always had a record against the Indiana Pacers, and it can be seen that the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to have the upper hand.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, although the opponent they will face in the second round will definitely be stronger than before, they are not particularly afraid of such an opponent.

Because the Cleveland Cavaliers are still too strong, no matter who they face this season, they will have a very strong chance of winning.

No matter what team it is, the Cleveland Cavaliers are fearless.

Because of their quality, no team has the confidence to beat them this season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the confidence to win the game against any opponent in the league.

Of course, such a difference is quite big, and the most important thing is the current state of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is also extremely amazing.

This is especially crucial, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are in phenomenal form. Naturally, it means that they will be able to continue to play very well in the next future games.

This is of course very important for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and their form at this point is enough to show that even if they enter the playoffs, they are still a very good team.

They continued their previous dominance, which was especially crucial for the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponents, which was nothing less than a signal.

The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, were extremely cautious when they knew that their second-round opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Even Stephens, who has always been open-mouthed, didn't say anything big before this round of the series began.

Although his style has always been perverse and uninhibited. But Stephens isn't an idiot either, and he is well aware of the gap between the two sides at the moment.

So at this point, he didn't bother to say anything that would make people feel retarded, because he was also busy making the final preparations before the start of the second round of the series.

Whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the advantage, or the Indiana Pacers, who are a little weak at this time, they all attach great importance to the Eastern Conference semifinals that will kick off next.

Either side wants to make a mistake in the second round of the series.

After all, it's a matter of life and death. And if it goes further, it will be the Eastern Conference Finals, so both sides will have to fight to the death in this round of the series.

No one will give up, whether it is a strong side or a slightly weaker side, both sides will do their best.

However, this series will still have some similarities with the previous series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Bobcats. That is, of course, people will still be more optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the series.

After all, their strength is definitely better than that of the Indiana Pacers, and the current form is very good.

So there is no reason to make people more optimistic about the Indiana Pacers, after all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in such good shape at the moment, and their form is enough to ensure that they continue to move forward in the next games.

Especially Wu Dawei as the core. His appearance in the first-round series was undoubtedly explosive, and at the same time. It will also make the Indiana Pacers feel very jealous.

After all, they have Paul at the small forward position. An All-Star like George, but if you're going to make Paul. George went to completely contain Wu Dawei's words, then it would definitely be a dream.

Because it's almost impossible, Wu Dawei's performance in the first round of the series is enough to explain the problem, and an average of 42 points per game is not something that a good defensive player can limit.

Trying to contain him will undoubtedly require a whole line of defense to work together, and it's not an easy task for any team.

Because when you spend almost all of your perimeter resources on the defensive end on one player against the opposition, you're bound to suffer other blows elsewhere.

After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers don't just mean that there is a superstar like David Wu on the outside. Although Irving said that he didn't have too much of a dazzling appearance in the first round of the series, when he appeared on the basketball court, you still can't just ignore his savings.

So if the Indiana Pacers are going to spend almost all of their outside defensive resources on Wu Dawei in the middle of the game, then Kyrie. Owen must have been overlooked at this.

Regardless of Carey. Irving's appearance in the first-round series, he is a superstar who has been through the Finals twice, and if he was negligent in the playoffs, then Kyrie. Owen is bound to be good-looking.

After all, he's not an unknown person, and for any defender, if he is to be taken lightly, then Kerry. Irving will definitely still look good on his opponents.

So in such a situation, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are not particularly worried about the next second round of games.

Because they can be said to be extremely well prepared. Although the Indiana Pacers will also prepare well before the game starts, compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the weak side, the Indiana Pacers obviously need to prepare more for this round of the series than the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because they weren't sure they would be able to win the game, the Indiana Pacers would have to prepare more than the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the game as much as they could.

In this round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Indiana Pacers attracted the attention of countless fans.

The clash between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers must be much more focused on than on the Miami Heat's side.

Because the strength of the opponents that the Miami Heat encountered in the second round of the Eastern Conference series was not as good as the strength of the Indiana Pacers encountered by the Cleveland Cavaliers here.

So at this time. For the fans, of course, they still prefer to watch the more intense round of the matchup.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are certainly better than the Indiana Pacers, the Indiana Pacers are not Charlotte Bobcats, and they will certainly not sit still in the game.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their situation in this round of the series is naturally not comparable to the situation in the previous series in the first round.

Because the opponent is not comparable to the Charlotte Bobcats, and in this alone, the Indiana Pacers just don't know how much better than the Charlotte Bobcats.

So at this time for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the second-round series, they will need to be more cautious than in the previous first-round series.

Otherwise, maybe their opponents will give them a dismount right away. It's certainly not something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, and it's something for them at this time. What they want to do most is they want to be able to play as easily as the second series as they did the first.

But in fact, they are also very aware that it is not easy to do this. Because the Indiana Pacers certainly won't let them do it easily.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they have to be more cautious, but for their opponents. The Indiana Pacers are the more cautious side at this point.

Because they know very well how strong their opponents really are, and in such a situation, for the Indiana Pacers, they know that this series will be their do-or-die moment.

So for the Indiana Pacers, they are actually more anxious than the Cleveland Cavaliers, because they don't know what they will do in the next game, and the strength of their opponents is well known.

It's going to be a tough game to win against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.

And the Indiana Pacers still have to do their best to play their own way even in such a situation, because they don't want to be eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

It's not something they want, and they want to be able to take their place in the series and not be led by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They're still hoping to play their own style and rhythm in the series because they want to be a little bit better, and the goal for the Indiana Pacers this season is to be as good as they can be.

It would be the best thing if they could win the championship, and they didn't expect that.

After all, the Indiana Pacers are one of the best teams in the league right now, so of course they've fantasized about championships.

It's just that now it seems that the championship is still an extremely distant thing from the Indiana Pacers, and now, the first thing they have to worry about is how to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers, the league's biggest championship favorite team led by Wu Dawei, in the next round of the series.

If they can't beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, then how can they talk about competing for a championship, so at this time, in fact, for the Indiana Pacers, the shape they are facing now is very dangerous.

So for the Indiana Pacers, of course, they need to be ready for the next round, especially when they are playing away from home in the first game.

After all, they don't want to be completely taken advantage of by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first game, which is not the result they want, so even in the first minute and second of the first game, the Indiana Pacers will not back down in the slightest. (To be continued......)
