After the second quarter started, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to lead the game with a score of 27:20.

However, obviously in the second quarter, the situation will be much more dangerous than in the first quarter, because the Cleveland Cavaliers' opponent Indiana Pacers will definitely not let the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to lead the game at this time.

They would never want to be behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and form a chasing state. For the Indiana Pacers, they hope to try to catch up with the lagging point difference at this time.

After all, the disadvantage of 7 points is not enough to make the Indiana Pacers give up, but will instead inspire their desire for victory in their hearts at this time.

They hope they can overtake the score in the second quarter. As for whether they can, it depends on what the Cleveland Cavaliers can play in the second quarter.

However, in this game tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have gained a leading advantage in the first quarter, will naturally not be a good opponent at this time.

It is not that easy for the Indiana Pacers to reverse the situation in the second quarter.

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they certainly understand such a difficulty, but at the same time they still hope to continue doing this.

Because they have always been in a disadvantaged and backward situation, it undoubtedly means death, and they do not want to welcome such a result.

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, what they need to do is to try to attack the current leading advantage that the Cleveland Cavaliers are inherent in the next second quarter.

Because it was in the away game, the Indiana Pacers needed to make changes and take the initiative to change at this time.

After all, the opponents have already gained a leading advantage in their own home court. They will definitely not actively seek change; and in this way, the burden will fall on the Indiana Pacers, who are the disadvantaged at this time.

After all, no matter what, they are all behind, so they must have the idea of ​​catching up with the gap in the score.

Compared to the Indiana Pacers' anxious mentality, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played at home and gained a leading advantage, would naturally not be so anxious at this time.

For them, their goal in the second quarter is to maintain such a leading advantage at the moment. The team's head coach Byron Scott is so demanding for substitutes.

He only asked the substitutes not to make too big mistakes on the basketball court, so that he could wait until the main players finished resting and returned to the basketball court.

Once Wu Dawei and others, who had performed extremely well in the first quarter, returned to the basketball court, it would definitely be a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At least it seems that Byron Scott is. For him, Wu Dawei and others' strong performance in the first quarter is an absolute reassurance.

So in his opinion, the substitutes don’t need to have such a great performance now, they just need to be able to play at normal levels and wait until Wu Dawei and others return to the basketball court.

So at this time, after the second quarter began, the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously slowed down the pace, and in this way, it would not be an easy task for the Indiana Pacers to catch up and score.

So at this time, of course, this is what the Cleveland Cavaliers like, and for the Indiana Pacers, such a very slow game pace will make them want to catch up with the score in the game very slow.

Because the pace of the game is too slow, even if the Indiana Pacers are determined to catch up with the score gap at this time, it is not something they can do just by wanting to.

And such a rhythm will certainly not make the Indians feel happy. At the same time, they will naturally try to provide the speed of the rhythm after the game begins.

But the Cleveland Cavaliers always suppressed the rhythm of the game at this time and prevented their opponents from easily increasing their speed.

So naturally, under such circumstances, although the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to be a little passive after the start of the second quarter, it was not easy for the Indiana Pacers to immediately catch up with the 7-point gap that was originally lagging behind.

The Cleveland Cavaliers suppress the rhythm of the game, which is very beneficial for dragging time. At the same time, this will naturally make the Indiana Pacers feel more anxious.

Because in such a situation, it is naturally difficult for them to narrow the gap in the score in a short period of time. If they cannot narrow the gap in the score or even equalize it at this time, then when Wu Dawei and others return to the basketball court, the situation will be even worse.

After all, Wu Dawei's performance in the first quarter still made the Indiana Pacers feel vivid in their purpose. They do not have absolute confidence to defend Wu Dawei's offense...

Not to mention that when Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard returned to the basketball court, the defensive energy of the Cleveland Cavaliers would also increase by a factor of a terrible increase, which is even more annoying.

Because by that time, it will definitely be more difficult for the Indiana Pacers to score.

Therefore, as an opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers hope to catch up with the score gap at this moment.

Of course they knew that this was not an easy thing, but they understood more clearly that compared to when Wu Dawei and others returned to the basketball court, this was the best opportunity.

If they don't take the opportunity to catch up with the score gap at this time, then when Wu Dawei, Dwight Howard and others return to the basketball court, the situation they face will be even worse.

And by that time, facing higher intensity defense, the Indiana Pacers themselves don't know what they can play.

So at this time, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Indiana Pacers hope to catch up with the score gap at this time.

Instead of continuing to wait endlessly, because they themselves still have some understanding in their hearts. If they still cannot catch up with the score gap after Wu Dawei and others return to the basketball court, the situation they face will become even worse.

And by that time, such a bad situation would give the Indiana Pacers a huge difficulty at this time.

They don't want to be suppressed by their opponents in this entire game. Naturally, for the Indiana Pacers, they are trying to narrow the gap in the score at this time.

But obviously the Cleveland Cavaliers will not give them any such opportunity easily at this time, so at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they were not able to quickly catch up with the score gap just at the beginning of the second quarter.

The slow pace of the Cleveland Cavaliers created a huge resistance for them at this time. It is precisely because of such a slow pace of the game that the 7-point advantage that the Cleveland Cavaliers are leading at this moment seems a bit out of reach.

In other words, after the start of the second quarter, the two sides still had a stalemate between each other, and facing such a situation, it would become very difficult for the Indiana Pacers to catch up with the score.

What followed was that the game time passed by minute by minute, and then it was the turn of the core players to return to the basketball court.

At this time, the score gap between the two sides was still at a stage of around 7 points. In this way, for the Indiana Pacers, the situation they faced would naturally be similar to before.

But at this time, it is already the second quarter. For the Indiana Pacers, if they cannot narrow the score gap at this time, they will face a worse situation in the second half of the game.

Of course this is not what the Indiana Pacers want to see at this time, so at this time they still hope to catch up with the gap in the score as quickly as possible.

However, at the same time, the Cleveland Cavaliers were also very cautious at this time. When both teams began to replace their starters on the basketball court, a new test for the Indiana Pacers was about to start again.

Because Wu Dawei and others returned to the basketball court, and for the Indiana Pacers, they were of course disappointed with such a situation.

Because they themselves were not able to catch up with the disadvantages during the period when Wu Dawei and others were out. Now, when Wu Dawei and others returned to the basketball court, the Indiana Pacers not only had to face the problem of how to catch up with the disadvantages of the lagging score, but also needed to consider how to defend Wu Dawei and others' performance on the basketball court.

Because the reason why they fell behind in the first quarter was largely because they were unable to defend the performance of Wu Dawei and others...

This is very critical, and at this time they have to face such a problem that they don’t actually want to face.

But at this moment they had to face this problem, and naturally such a problem was to hand it over to Paul George.

As Paul George, who will face Wu Dawei's entire game, if he has no choice, then who can have too many solutions?

So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, if they want to curb Wu Dawei's performance and performance, of course, they still have to rely on Paul George's performance.

If Paul George can help his team on the defensive end and prevent Wu Dawei from scoring like in the first quarter, then perhaps the Indiana Pacers can still get some opportunities in the next game.

But if even he can't limit Wu Dawei's performance at this time, then who can do it among the Indiana Pacers?

So at this time, for Paul George, he has a long way to go. If he can't help his team defending Wu Dawei, the situation faced by the Indiana Pacers will still be extremely bad.

Of course they didn't want this, but this seemed not an escape at this time.

They can only choose to fight and escape, and obviously Paul George will never escape, so at this time, when Wu Dawei came on the court, Paul George immediately faced Wu Dawei.

Both sides have to do their best at this time, because no one wants to be suppressed by the opponent at this time, so although the Indiana Pacers had not been able to take advantage of such an opportunity to overtake the score before, at this time, they still have the opportunity to catch up with the gap in the score.

So for the Indiana Pacers, they naturally have to do their best. And when Paul George faced Wu Dawei, this was of course the most concerned showdown in this game.

At this time, there is no doubt that Wu Dawei is going to gain the upper hand, because he and his team are currently far ahead, while their opponent, the Indiana Pacers, are chasing behind them.

And from the moment it seems that they still don't have much way to overtake the Cleveland Cavaliers' current lead.

Because after Wu Dawei made his debut again, he immediately helped his team score a goal. In the battle with Paul George, Wu Dawei was not in the slightest rain. Although Paul George tried his best to help the team curb Wu Dawei's performance at this time, it was obviously not an easy task in a short period of time.

For Paul George, he hoped that he could help the team, but Wu Dawei's first offense after his reappearance made him feel very disappointed.

Because Paul George was unable to defend Wu Dawei's attack at this time. He allowed Wu Dawei to score, and the gap in the score was naturally widened a little.

After all, the situation for the Indiana Pacers is very bad at this time. If they cannot narrow the score gap at this time, then if they wait until the second half of the game, it will only become even worse for the Indiana Pacers.

So when Wu Dawei scored, Paul George naturally hoped that he could win back. He didn't want the Cleveland Cavaliers to continue to widen the gap in the score.

The Indiana Pacers not only failed to catch up with the score, but instead allowed their opponents to continue to widen the gap in the score, which naturally made them feel an unbearable thing.

But when the Indiana Pacers came to the offensive end, Paul George faced the player Wu Dawei when he held the ball.

Facing Wu Dawei's defense, whether Paul George can throw the ball into the basket is actually not particularly confident.

But Paul George will never retreat at this time. The current situation of the team is in a mess. If he cannot set an example, then the situation of the Indiana Pacers at this time will become extremely bad.

Paul George seemed extremely serious at this time when he held the ball against Wu Dawei's defense, because he would not like that he was completely defeated by Wu Dawei on both ends of the offense and defense.

So at this time, after losing, Paul George was bound to win the next attack, and he chose to take an unexpected move outside the three-point line again.

It seemed that he had no idea of ​​facing Wu Dawei at all, so he undoubtedly threw the ball from a very far away from the three-point line to the basket.

Once he threw the ball into the basket, he could only leave it to fate. However, in this game tonight, God seemed to be very kind to Paul George.

The ball actually got into the basket, which was of course an excellent thing for the Indiana Pacers.

Paul George also clenched his fists for this. He thought it was great, but at the same time he still felt some concern about it.

Because this cannot be used as a conventional weapon after all, such a projection is quite unexpected, and such a long distance cannot guarantee a hit rate well.

At the same time, after Paul George completed the shooting, he also knew that troubles would come again, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers' offense would come again, and Paul George would face Wu Dawei's attack on the defensive end.

And he still didn't seem to have thought of a good way to deal with this. (To be continued...)
