By the end of the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers weren't having a good time on the road, at least in their own right.

The Indiana Pacers played an extraordinary game at home, and such a table made the Cleveland Cavaliers feel extremely uncomfortable at this time.

At 28:22, the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense suffered repeated setbacks in the first quarter, which also made their score only 22 points.

22 points in a single quarter is definitely not high for the current Cleveland Cavaliers.

This is also very related to Wu Dawei only scored 4 points in the first quarter, and the Indiana Pacers' strategy was quite successful, at least in the first quarter of the game.

They guarded Wu Dawei strictly, which also made the Cleveland Cavaliers extremely passive at this time.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are obviously a little less competitive after missing Wu Dawei's crazy output.

Fortunately, Wu Dawei is still good in terms of assists, and in the first quarter of the game, he just gave Dwight . Howard made four good passes.

It is precisely because he helped the Cleveland Cavaliers with assists that the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be only 6 points behind when the opponent is in such good shape.

The six-point gap is not very huge, and it also leaves a foreshadowing for the Cleveland Cavaliers to catch up in the second quarter of the game.

A 6-point gap is not too big, and it can guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will have a chance to catch up with such a gap in the second quarter.

After all, they are on the road, and the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly want to avoid being at such a disadvantage for as long as possible.

After all, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they still hope to win this game, and they hope to completely kill the Indiana Pacers' hope of a comeback after this game.

But the Indiana Pacers certainly don't want that to happen, after all, they managed to take the lead in one game, and they will naturally cherish it.

The Indiana Pacers hope to continue such a performance throughout the game, and naturally they don't want to be overtaken by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second quarter of the game.

This is something that is absolutely unforgivable for them. So in the second quarter of the game, they were also very cautious.

Because they don't want to be overturned by their opponents like this, and this is their hard-earned lead, the Indiana Pacers naturally hope to continue such a good performance as much as possible.

Otherwise, for the Indiana Pacers, their shape would have been a little too bad.

They don't want to fall short, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing everything they can to catch up with the deficit at this point.

The rivalry between the two sides is still continuing, and neither the Indiana Pacers nor the Cleveland Cavaliers want to be suppressed by their opponents.

But after all, this is a home game with the Indiana Pacers. The Indians have managed to achieve such a leading advantage, and they are naturally not going to give it up lightly.

Therefore, even if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to play in the second quarter of the game, it is not easy to catch up with the trailing score.

The Indiana Pacers held their lead firmly, and the six-point gap made it difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to overcome in a short period of time.

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have been warning themselves not to rush, they will inevitably feel a little anxious in the face of such a situation.

After all, the opponent is not a general, and it is clear that the performance in this game tonight is very good, and the Cleveland Cavaliers want to regain the upper hand in such a situation. It's not easy.

But of course, they won't just choose to give up so lightly, after all, for this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers also have their own insistence, so they will definitely do their best to beat their opponents.

Completing the comeback is what the Cleveland Cavaliers want to do most at this time. So they won't hesitate, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this game is also very important for them.

The Indiana Pacers are clearly betting heavily on this game, so they'll be defending their hard-earned lead at this point.

And in such a case. Naturally, the two sides began to stalemate, and the gap in the score was always maintained in a situation where the Cleveland Cavaliers could not close and the Indiana Pacers could not open up.

Such a situation is actually unsatisfactory for both sides. Therefore, in such a situation, no one on both sides will be relaxed.

Whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they don't want to be dominated by their opponents, so in such a situation, both sides will definitely do everything they can to stop the opponent from playing.

Because only in this way can they get the situation they want, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they want to be in control of the situation.

So no one will be convinced, and after the start of the second quarter of the game, the core players of both sides are naturally resting off the court.

No matter how fierce the competition on the pitch is for the time being, the managers of both teams will try to ensure that the key players have as much rest time as possible.

After all, this match looks like a fierce contest from the current point of view, so it is very likely that the game will be fought until the end.

Naturally, if a game is so tightly contested, then the managers of both teams will have to make sure that their core players have as much rest time as possible.

Because only in this way can they ensure that the team does not collapse at the last minute.

Whether it's the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, this game is a must-have, so they certainly won't allow any possibility of mistakes.

They have to do everything they can to win this game, and there is no reason to run away from it!

And Wu Dawei's mood in this game tonight is naturally not very good, and his performance in the first quarter is not good. It is also a direct guide to the disadvantages of the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time.

He felt some self-reproach, and on the other side, Lance. Stephens, on the other hand, was in a good mood, as his performance in the first quarter of the game, coupled with the team's lead, brought his mood back to the peak.

After all, people have been laughing at him for his inadequacy before, and tonight's match has been so far. Stephens re-raised his head.

His performance in the first quarter of the game was good, and he would naturally feel in a good mood at this moment, but at this moment the Cleveland Cavaliers were aggressively chasing after him. It's going to make him feel a little worried.

But overall, his mood is still more relieved than the previous two games.

After all, the Indiana Pacers are now the leading side at home, while the Cleveland Cavaliers, while aggressive, are only struggling to catch up behind them.

As long as the Indiana Pacers can continue to maintain this situation, then they can still maintain the advantage in this situation.

And once the Indiana Pacers maintain their lead, there is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers will feel more and more anxious.

Because the shape they are facing will only get worse and worse as time passes by minute by minute.

So at this time. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are naturally anxious, while the Indiana Pacers are able to maintain a relatively stable mentality at all times.

The shape shì is not particularly advantageous for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which also makes the entire Cleveland Cavaliers look a little sad on the bench.

They don't want to be crushed by their opponents. However, at this time, it is extremely difficult for them to overtake the score.

The Indiana Pacers are in surprisingly good form for tonight's game, and it will naturally be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to overtake the score.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers. They don't want to stay behind, but the reality is clearly frustrating.

Although the Indiana Pacers were unable to open up the score gap, they also prevented the Cleveland Cavaliers from catching up with the score gap at this time.

So at this time for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course, they will feel more and more anxious. Because they have always struggled to catch up with the scoreline, which is not something they want to see, but the Indiana Pacers are still slightly satisfied with it.

After all, they are the dominant side anyway, so they naturally won't be as anxious as the Cleveland Cavaliers in terms of psychology.

As long as they can maintain such a situation, then the Indiana Pacers will be able to win this game sooner or later.

After all, they are playing at home, and in every way, they now have more and more advantages than the Cleveland Cavaliers.

So at this time, the Indiana Pacers naturally want to do everything they can to control the game in their own hands. They don't and don't want to give the Cleveland Cavaliers any chances, so at this point, for the Indiana Pacers, it's natural that they want to be in control of the basketball court all the time.

Because after all, this is the only time that the Indiana Pacers have taken the lead in this series, so at this time, they will naturally hope that such a lead will get the best result.

They didn't want to be overtaken by the Cleveland Cavaliers, so they did everything they could to try to protect their lead.

As a result, it will be extremely difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to catch up with the falling behind. Especially when they didn't play very well in the first quarter, it was indeed very difficult for the Indiana Pacers to overtake the score gap.

And without Wu Dawei's help, in such a situation. It is not easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to dominate the game when they are behind on the road.

So at this time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, their shape is quite difficult, but no matter how difficult the situation, for the current Cleveland Cavaliers, they must do their best to get through.

After all, in the current situation, if the Cleveland Cavaliers don't work hard, then their hope of winning this game will only become more and more slim.

So at this point for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They don't have much to retreat from, and their opponents are already completely dominant, and at this point for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they can only fight with their backs.

Otherwise, they will have to watch themselves lose this away game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers certainly don't want such a result, so at this point, all they can do is to turn the game around.

Obviously, relying purely on the bench lineup will not help the Cleveland Cavaliers close the gap at this time.

So for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They still have to get their starters back on the basketball court as much as possible.

After all, Wu Dawei, Dwight. Howard and others are the key to the rise of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and naturally if the Cleveland Cavaliers want to make a difference at this time, they still have to rely on his appearance.

Otherwise, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is really not easy for them to regain their disadvantage in such a disadvantaged situation.

As for Wu Dawei, of course, he is also very eager to return to the basketball court at this time. Because he didn't want to sit on the sidelines and wait to die.

The Indiana Pacers are playing so strongly, if the team is not careful, they may be suppressed by the opponent.

And once the gap in the score is continued to widen. It will only make the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers worse in this game.

So at this time, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers did not let Wu Dawei and Dwight . Howard and the others had too much rest in the second quarter of the game.

Because at this moment, it is indeed a very bad situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They were only able to get their core players back on the court early, and against the Indiana Pacers, although they were leading at this point, they couldn't be indifferent when they saw the Cleveland Cavaliers return early.

After all, such a leading advantage was hard-won by them, so naturally they would not give it up lightly. For the Indiana Pacers, the most important thing they need to do right now is to prevent the Cleveland Cavaliers from catching up with the deficit.

So when Wu Dawei and others re-entered the court, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers immediately replaced his core players on the court one after another.

For them, the lead that they have come by with great difficulty cannot be easily lost, so in such a situation, they will naturally do their best.

The shape of the Cleveland Cavaliers is naturally worse at this time, and it is difficult for them to completely catch up with the backward situation in a short period of time, which is a more fatal thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Because if they can't catch up with the scoreline, then they will face an even worse situation in the next game.

Of course, none of this is what the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, so when Wu Dawei and the others return to the basketball court, the burden on their shoulders will make them feel even more strained.

Because their opponents, the Indiana Pacers, have completely taken the lead at this time, but they will definitely not give the Cleveland Cavaliers any chance lightly.

After all, in the previous two games, the Cleveland Cavaliers completely defeated the Indiana Pacers, and what the Indians want to do most now is undoubtedly revenge.

So now that they have finally grasped such a lead, it is natural that they will do their best to protect the Cleveland Cavaliers from overtaking them at this time.

Naturally, in such a situation, the pressure on the core players of the Cleveland Cavaliers who have just debuted will become extremely huge.

They don't want to be beaten at home because once the overall score is 2-1, they will still be the lead for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but it will be a bad shape.

Because including this game, the Indiana Pacers will play three consecutive home games in the future, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally can't give the other side any chance, otherwise it may turn the series upside down. (To be continued......)
