The Cleveland Cavaliers won the first game of their 2013-2014 Eastern Conference semifinals at the Quick Loan Center.
Such a victory guaranteed them an advantage in this round of the series, and they turned their home advantage into a score advantage, so that the shape would naturally become extremely advantageous for them.
As the boss of the team, Wu Dawei also feels extremely happy and happy for such a result, after all, his performance in the first game is very important.
If it weren't for his excellent performance, the Indiana Pacers might have turned the score around in the second half of the game, led by Stephens.
Therefore, as the core of the team, Wu Dawei will of course feel very good for the team's victory in this game.
As for the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will also be happy with the team's victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
After the start of the playoffs, knowing that the Cleveland Cavaliers have won five in a row so far, this is definitely very good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, if they win the first game in the series, it means that they will have more advantages in the next series.
That's certainly something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, because they've set very high goals this season, so of course they want to have more than just a great regular season experience; At the same time, they want to have a great experience in the playoffs.
So far, at least, the Cleveland Cavaliers have had a great time in the playoffs, as they have won five of the five games they've played in the playoffs.
They haven't lost a single of those games, which is definitely good news for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although it is true that there are some twists and turns in the process, overall. The Cleveland Cavaliers are still very happy about the past five games.
After all, they have always held the lead, and the 5-0 playoff record so far has made the Clevelands very happy.
At least they've been in the playoffs for the regular season, and they've been on the side of the game all the time, and their opponents will feel very uncomfortable about it.
For example, the current Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Indiana Pacers, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable at this time.
Losing the first game of the semifinals was not what they had thought it would be, especially in the middle of the game, which made the Indianas feel even more unhappy.
Stephens, in particular, for losing this first game. He was in full swing because he wanted the second match to come.
Because then Stephens will be able to get his revenge! At least that's what he thought in his heart, and in an interview with reporters after the game, Stephens expressed his extreme dissatisfaction.
So at this time, everyone knows that he is actually very unhappy with the referee's decision in this game; And from Reims. Judging from Stephens' attitude towards this game, people can inevitably guess that the entire Indiana Pacers may actually be dissatisfied with the penalty in this game.
It's just the whole team. Only Reims. Stephens alone expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty scale, and no one else discussed it in public.
It's just that when Stephens says something about his dissatisfaction, people naturally start thinking about it, and reporters start interviewing the Indiana Pacers up and down. It's all starting to slowly revolve around such a question.
After all, this round of the series is still quite concerned, so at this time, when someone in the Indiana Pacers began to complain about the referee's control of the game, the reporters naturally smelled a hint of it.
And it's not just when interviewing the Indiana Pacers that reporters bring up the referee; Also ask questions about the Cleveland Cavaliers players and coaches. Journalists are also starting to mention such a thing, consciously or unconsciously.
And the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the winner, of course, don't want to answer this kind of question. After all, they are the winning side, so there is no need to bother with this at all. It's just that the reporters are pestering them, and it does make them feel annoyed.
In such a situation, the league naturally had to respond to this, so before the start of the second game between the two sides, the league suddenly announced a message through the official website of Guò, that is, the Indiana Pacers player Lance. Stephens' punishment.
Thanks to Reims. Stephens complained about the referee's reasoning, and the league decided to impose a $25,000 penalty on Stephens.
Such an amount for Reims. Stephens was undoubtedly a huge number, and it made him shut his mouth immediately.
Regardless of the media, Stephens stopped talking about refereeing in the first game.
The occurrence of such a situation naturally made the reporters feel a little disappointed, because in their eyes, there is no doubt that Stephens, the big mouth, may say more exciting news.
And those news are what they love to hear, but now, a fine from the alliance is to make Lance. Stephens didn't dare to speak out loud anymore.
Especially for the discussion of the referee in the first game, I dare not discuss it, because it was a white silver that was given to the league for nothing.
This is something that Stephens doesn't want to see, after all, this money is his hard-earned money, so of course it is more important than being addicted.
And after such a ticket, people's voices for discussing the referee's decision in the first game immediately became a lot quieter.
Everyone also began to slowly focus their eyes on the next game. After all, no matter what the penalty was decided in the first game, no matter how much people talk about it, they still have to refocus their attention on the next second game between the two sides.
After all, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they definitely don't want them to lose.
After the Cleveland Cavaliers won the first game, it was natural to hope that he could continue to win in the second game; On the other hand, after losing the first game, the Indiana Pacers naturally hope to get some solace in the second game.
They were hoping to win the second game, which they lost but managed to draw 1-1 after the second game.
So. When they return to Indiana, they will also be able to regain home-court advantage in the series.
So before the start of the second game, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they are extremely cautious in such a situation at this moment.
Both sides will do their best to do their best in this game, after all, the second game will be more important than the first.
After the Indiana Pacers lost the first game, they will naturally attach great importance to the second game.
They certainly don't want to lose again and give the Cleveland Cavaliers a 2-0 advantage in the series. If that were the case, then even if they were to return to Indiana in the future, the shape would not be in their favor.
Because in such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers already have too many advantages. Not only on the score, but also psychologically. So in such a situation, for the Indiana Pacers, their rise and fall in this round series depends on the situation of Game 2.
As for the second game, most people will of course still think that the Cleveland Cavaliers are more likely to win the game. But it's going to be tough.
Because in the eyes of many, the Indiana Pacers are not completely out of chance, so in such a situation, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They were also very nervous in this game.
Both sides are hoping to win this game, but neither the Cleveland Cavaliers nor the Indiana Pacers can win the game in this game.
However, in general, as the home side, the Cleveland Cavaliers will naturally have more confidence at this time.
After all, they weren't just playing at home, they also won the first game of the series.
So in Game 2, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they will be the team with more confidence.
However, even if the Indiana Pacers are relatively unconfident in their hearts, they still will not give up easily.
After all, the second game is extremely important for any team, and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers are hoping to win the second game.
In such a situation, there is no doubt that the atmosphere will become much more tense than in the first game.
After all, whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they don't want any accidents to happen in the second game.
Especially after the end of the first game, public opinion has also reached a peak, and after Stephens complained about the referee, such a voice will naturally continue at this time.
In the second game, for everyone, people will naturally pay some attention to the referee's decision in the second game in such a situation.
After all, Stephens's complaint has caused quite a stir in the league after it was spread by the media; Although a fine from the league made Stephens successfully shut his mouth.
But at this time, people will not forget Stephens's complaint, so at this time, before the start of this game, people will naturally pay special attention to the referee and the penalty.
For the Clevelands, of course, they feel very angry about this, because in their opinion. The reason why they were able to win the first game was not because of the referee's concern, they won the game completely with their own outstanding strength, but at this time, it seemed to be completely the credit of the referee.
There is no doubt that the direction of public opinion has been rewritten, which is of course extremely detrimental to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who want to win the game above board, not as if they are not at all above board, as they are at the moment.
Wu Dawei felt very unhappy and angry about this. Before the start of this match, he was also mentioned a lot in the media interviews.
In fact, of course, Wu Dawei didn't want to answer these questions, but the reporters were chasing after them, so Wu Dawei could only say his own opinion.
As for Wu Dawei, he naturally will not agree with Stephens's statement, because in his opinion, no matter from which aspect, the referee's blowing penalty in the last game did not have too much controversy at the beginning.
Stephens' nonsensical complaint made Wu Dawei feel a little ridiculous, and he told reporters that it is better to win back on the court than so much.
No doubt. It's a slightly provocative answer.
Because the reporters quickly told Stephens about Wu Dawei's answer, of course, when they said it to Stephens, the reporters must have added fuel to Wu Dawei's words.
And when Stephens heard the words of the so-called Wu Dawei. He was naturally angry, because he felt that Wu Dawei was mocking himself by saying this.
So of course he was going to be very angry about it, and he replied to the reporters: "We'll see tonight." ”
Obviously, the league's ticket to Stephens still had some effect at this time, so Stephens was not willing to say too much at this time.
Apparently he also understood. It's not beneficial to say anything more before the game starts, so it's better to slap the opponent in the face with a really good performance in the game.
That's the most important thing.
After all, the game was about to start, and at this time, Stephens knew that there was no need to fight with his opponent. Because they're about to meet on the basketball court.
For Stephens, no matter how much he says now, it is better to wait a while on the basketball court to look good at Wu Dawei, after all, for the Indiana Pacers, they are also imperative for tonight's game.
The game will start at 7 p.m. sharp, and both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers are very well prepared for this game.
So at this time, both sides have a very strong belief. And since there has been a lot of discussion about the penalty in the last game before this game starts, this game is even more interesting.
And it is precisely for this reason that the two sides also had a small verbal battle, so at this time it will also make the game more tense.
Such an atmosphere is certainly something that everyone wants to see, after all, this is a brutal playoff game, so it is impossible for the two sides to become friends. 、
Because whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they will do their best to win the game at this time.
After all, the Indiana Pacers don't want to end up with a two-game losing streak on the road, and for the Cleveland Cavaliers, a two-game winning streak is certainly the result they most want.
Therefore, at this time, it is certain that neither side will choose to back down.
7 o'clock was also coming in such a noisy atmosphere, and the starters of both sides began to take to the court one after another at this time.
Compared with the last game, it is obvious that at this time, the smell of gunpowder has become stronger from any point of view.
Especially Stephens's affection, almost anyone with a discerning eye can see that he doesn't even go to say hello to Wu Dawei after he plays.
There is not even a symbolic greeting, and it can be seen to some extent what kind of affection Stephens has for Wu Dawei at this moment.
However, he didn't care about Wu Dawei, after all, Stephens was not his opponent, not to mention that although he had caused trouble to Wu Dawei in the last game, Wu Dawei won the game in the end.
So at this time, Wu Dawei didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
If the other party ignores himself, Wu Dawei will not pay attention to him. It's an opponent anyway, isn't it?
Wu Dawei will not show mercy on the basketball court, and for Stephens, he will naturally do his best in such a situation, because he doesn't want to see Wu Dawei's "arrogant" appearance all the time. (To be continued......)
