On the evening of May 2, the Cleveland Cavaliers' home Quickloan Center ushered in another home game in more than a week and nearly two weeks later.

And this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face a new opponent, the Indiana Pacers.

Cleveland fans are also enthusiastic about supporting their team at this time. They are still full of confidence in the team for the upcoming round of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

There seems to be nothing left to do for the Cleveland Cavaliers to collapse on the basketball court, and there's no doubt that they're the best team in the league.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, no matter which opponent they face in the game, they have full confidence and can beat the opponent on the basketball court.

Even against the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still extremely confident that they can beat the Indiana Pacers in a playoff series.

And it's not just that they have self-confidence, Cleveland fans are also very confident that the Cleveland Cavaliers can do that.

The outside world is also almost unanimously optimistic that the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have won the league championship in the past two seasons and have set so many records this season, can win the series.

And the few people who are optimistic about the Indiana Pacers, like the Charlotte Bobcats before them, are actually just their local fans.

However, people's perception of this series will still be slightly different from the previous first-round series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Charlotte Bobcats.

At that time, the consensus was that the Cleveland Cavaliers would easily win the game and sweep their opponents to the second round of the playoffs.

At this time, while people are still unanimously optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers' prospects in the series, people don't think they can easily beat their opponents, the Indiana Pacers.

Most people would think that the Cleveland Cavaliers could win this series, but it won't be as easy as the previous round.

EPSN has even invited a number of well-known basketball commentators and experts for this purpose. Let's make a prediction for this round of the series.

ESPN asked a total of nine experts, and most of them thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers would beat the Indiana Pacers by a score of around 4-2, with a few opting 4-3 and 4-1.

Almost no one opted for a 4-0 scoreline, and it's clear that the Indiana Pacers aren't a vulnerable opponent against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the eyes of most.

Most people still think that in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers still have the strength to fight back, and they can still get some opportunities in the series, and these opportunities may create something surprising.

So people don't think the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to be like they were in the last series. Go and sweep away their opponents in this round.

In the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are of course very confident in this round of the series, and as for whether they can sweep away their opponents, they don't particularly care about the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of course, it would be the best option to sweep away their opponents, and if not, then they would have no regrets, but they don't have the slightest doubt about whether they will be able to advance in this round of the series.

on this. The Cleveland Cavaliers are still very confident. Because they believe they can keep going in the playoffs, they believe that no team can stop them.

For the current Cleveland Cavaliers, one of their psychological factors can be said to have reached the peak

So they didn't have any fear at all, even if the opponent was menacing this time. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers still believe in their own strength.

After all, what they created in the regular season may be something that their next opponents will not be able to achieve in their lifetime.

So how can the Cleveland Cavaliers be afraid of them, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are bound to win this season's championship. And no matter who stands in front of them, they will never show mercy.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, the next round of the series is also inevitable. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, after all. Although the Indiana Pacers are considered a strong team in the East, there is still a gap between them and them.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are extremely confident that they will play against the Indiana Pacers in this round, and they believe they can win the game in this series.

As the opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers in this round of the series, the Indiana Pacers also have their own ideas and goals for this round of the series.

They are not going to sit still, and for the Indiana Pacers they know what they are capable of, and they have played the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.

Although they were the losers in that series in the end, the Indiana Pacers were not defenseless in that series.

So that's one of the reasons why they're not terribly afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Indianaws don't think they're going to be swept away by the Cleveland Cavaliers like they did against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Even the Indiana Pacers will feel that maybe they will have some chance in this series. Howard's inconsistent play in the last round of the series gave the Indiana Pacers an opportunity.

After all, the strength of the Indiana Pacers' interior line should not be underestimated, and the interior line led by Hibbert and West is the key to the rise of the Indiana Pacers.

The two of them can support the entire team's restricted area in today's weak interior era, not only to keep the Indiana Pacers uncontrolled on the inside, but also to create a lot of opportunities for their outside line.

Because in order to defend Hibbert and West, others always have to shrink the inside line from time to time, and in this way. Naturally, it will create a great opportunity for the Indiana Pacers on the outside.

Of course, this is all just what the Indianas themselves think, and no one knows whether they will be able to play very well in front of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers are the better team in every way, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are also the undoubted advantage in the past against the Indiana Pacers.

So this is also an important reason why people are more optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers, not only because they have achieved incredible results this season, but also because of their incredible record this season. In terms of fighting, they are almost always not afraid of any opponent.

While the Indiana Pacers are menacing, the Cleveland Cavaliers aren't worried at all, as they'll still be at home at the start of the series, which is a great thing for them.

Because they haven't lost much at home this season, they have only lost one game! That's a great thing, and on top of that, in terms of the playoffs, they haven't lost on their home turf yet.

So for the game at home. The Cleveland Cavaliers have always been extremely self-assured.

And tonight's game, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still the same, no matter what the opponent is, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are very confident that they can win the game.

In this game tonight, both sides will have their strongest core lineups, whether it is for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers. Neither side wants to give the other a chance.

Everyone was here tonight for the win, but obviously at the start of the game. It must be the Cleveland Cavaliers who have the upper hand.

Playing at home, the Cleveland fans will of course give the Cleveland Cavaliers the most cheering for the players.

After all, this is the Cleveland Cavaliers' home quick loan center, and Cleveland fans certainly want the Indiana Pacers, who are the visiting team, to see the momentum of the Cleveland Cavaliers' home court.

They are a very strong team, and that's the message that Cleveland Cavaliers fans want to send to their opponents.

But it's a bit of a redundancy, because even if they don't, the Indiana Pacers know very well what kind of team their opponent is!

Before the game officially kicked off, the two sides were already going to have a fierce confrontation, because neither side wanted to be weak in this game.

So even if the game hasn't started yet, the atmosphere between the two sides is already a bit tense. Because neither side wants to submit to their opponent like this at this time.

In particular, Stephens's appearance at this time was particularly perverse, and it was obvious that he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He hasn't said anything for the past few days, but at this time, he must be hoping to be able to vent his mouth through this game tonight.

He was originally an active person, and he had endured for a long time for the sake of the team, and at this time, the game was about to start, so he naturally had no need to hide the thoughts in his mind.

He's going to win this game and make the Cleveland Cavaliers look good! Surprise those who think the Cleveland Cavaliers will easily beat them!

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, they will definitely be more confident than the Indiana Pacers in this game.

After all, their strength is there, and it is not for nothing that people are more optimistic about them.

The game will officially kick off at 7 o'clock in the evening, and by then, the two sides who have been preparing for a long time will surely do everything they can for the first victory of this round of Eastern Conference semifinals.

Everyone is definitely going to do everything they can to get a head start in this round of the series. Neither side will choose to give up this game lightly.

And the Cleveland Cavaliers undoubtedly have a greater advantage at this time amid the loud cheering.

So at this point, of course, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are full of confidence. Roy. Hibbert & Dwight. Howard walked into the middle circle of the basketball court at the same time.

At this point, both sides had made all the preparations for their respective teams to jump balls. Whether it's Dwight. Howard or Roy. Hibbert, everybody's all in place.

And the referees didn't drag too much at this time, when they took the ball onto the court, the game was about to officially kick off.

When the referee threw the ball high into the basket, Dwight. Howard & Roy. Hibbert jumped at the same time.

The two of them did not give in to each other, and there was the fiercest battle in the air, but Hibbert was still inferior to Dwight in terms of physical talent after all. Howard's one.

So at this point, Dwight. Howard helped the Cleveland Cavaliers jump to the ball in the opening game.

That couldn't have been better for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had the ball in their hands in the opening game. Then, they have a chance to build a lead at the very beginning of the game.

That's a big deal, and if the Cleveland Cavaliers can score first in this game, then of course it's a good thing for them.

However, if the Cleveland Cavaliers can't take advantage of such an offensive opportunity at this time, then it will undoubtedly be very regrettable.

So at this time, when the Cleveland Cavaliers got the ball, they naturally had to take advantage of it.

They don't want to give their opponents any chances, and in this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will want to take the initiative!

And such a wish of theirs was of course contrary to the Indians at this time. After all, the Indiana Pacers don't want to play on the road. The opponent built a huge lead from the start.

After all, they are playing on the road, and they are in a very unfavorable environment, and if they are not able to dominate the game at this time, then the Indiana Pacers want to win the game on the road. It's incredibly difficult.

So for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the more this happens, the more they need to make some proactive moves. They're not going to sit still, and for the Indians, they're going to have an advantage from the start.

That's their goal right now. In this regard, they will definitely not let their guard down lightly.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took possession of the ball first in the opening period, and they naturally wanted to make good use of their possession at this time.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be hoping to take advantage of the ball this time. Scoring first at this point would certainly be good news for them in this game.

They can take advantage of that to take the lead and try to be the leader in this game, which is what the Cleveland Cavaliers will be aiming for in this game.

When they play at home, they don't want to give their opponents any chances, there's no doubt about that.

Of course, the Indiana Pacers don't want such a thing to happen, so at this time, the Indiana Pacers must have settled their positions on the defensive end and are ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers' attack.

The first meeting between the two sides in this game is about to have a fierce collision, and it is very tense for either side.

The Cleveland Cavaliers still chose to put the ball in the hands of Wu Dawei, and when Wu Dawei held the ball, the defensive pressure he faced was naturally relatively huge.

Because Paul. George immediately posted it directly, and of course Wu Dawei had to react to this. George is also a defensive stalwort.

David Wu and Paul. George can be described as a matchup between super small forwards, but Paul is the same age as Wu Dawei. George is still a step behind.

But at least Paul. George is much better than Wu Dawei's opponent in the last round, McGee, both offensively and defensively. George certainly wasn't anything McGee could match.

And in this way, for Wu Dawei, this is of course a new challenge, it depends on whether he can play his previous table at this time.

Paul. George is a brand new litmus test if David Wu can be in the Paul. If George's face continues to play the number that he had played in front of McGee, then it will undoubtedly make his expression even more convincing.

So at this time, for Wu Dawei, facing Paul. George's defense, of course, he just has to go straight to the front, he won't back down, and the same is true for the latter.

Also a representative of the new generation of small forwards, Paul. George is not willing to be inferior to a Chinese forever! (To be continued......)
