When the game reached the fourth quarter, Wu Dawei's continuous scoring also helped the Cleveland Cavaliers narrow the gap in the score to 5 points.
The score of 88 to 83 will naturally make the Indiana Pacers players who are playing at home feel extremely nervous.
Because this was not what they had imagined, in their opinion, this should not have happened at all. But at this moment, this did happen like this.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers were almost always suppressed by the Indiana Pacers in the first three quarters, the situation on the basketball court changed drastically after the fourth quarter.
The Cleveland Cavaliers sounded the horn of counterattack again, and at this time, the Indiana Pacers looked a little panicked.
Perhaps it was because the strength of the opponents they were facing had indeed left them with too many deep impressions before, so once the Cleveland Cavaliers sounded the horn of counterattack, the Indiana Pacers players couldn't help but become nervous.
Of course they don't want to see such a scene, but when faced with such a scene at this time, the Indiana Pacers will naturally feel extremely difficult.
Because their opponents obviously would not give up this game easily, and now they have caught up, it will naturally become a huge problem for the Indiana Pacers who play at home.
They knew they had to try their best to overcome such a difficult situation, but obviously such a difficult situation was not something that could be done with ease.
For the Indiana Pacers, when the score gap became 5 points, they were indeed panicked, but they still had to attack at this time.
It is extremely important for the Indiana Pacers to overcome such a difficult situation at this time, maintaining their own offensive form is extremely important.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have already scored consecutive goals at this time, and for the Indiana Pacers, they naturally cannot stop their offense at this time, which is very important.
As long as they can maintain their offensive form, the Indiana Pacers will at least be able to maintain their lead at the moment.
This is unquestionable, so when the Indiana Pacers attack this time, the Indiana Pacers players naturally have to be more proactive.
Paul George continued to hold the ball just like Wu Dawei on the offensive end of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the team naturally had to make every effort to make efforts for Paul George's attack.
Everyone is running around Paul George. For Paul George, this will certainly make him feel extremely stressed, and at the same time, it also gives him a greater chance of training.
After all, if you can win against Wu Dawei in the playoffs, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for Paul George.
So of course he would not retreat at all. Facing Wu Dawei's defense, Paul George was very determined at this time.
Because he knew very well that he had to take on such a responsibility at this time, but the pressure was still overwhelming. For Paul George, Wu Dawei's previous interference undoubtedly had a frustration. Now, if he had to continue facing Wu Dawei's defense, he would of course be afraid.
But he knew that he could never retreat. This time, Paul George held the ball, so he naturally used his teammates' pick-and-roll again. He tried to throw Wu Dawei away through the pick-and-roll, and Wu Dawei would certainly not be thrown away easily. In addition, Valacho, the inside, also made up for defense and prevented Paul George from rushing into the paint area directly after the pick-and-roll.
Valacho's upward snatch delay was very similar to the Indiana Pacers' previous pick-and-roll defense against Wu Dawei. In such a situation, Wu Dawei was naturally able to catch up from the rear, and Valacho naturally had to choose to shrink at this time.
Paul George immediately had an idea, and he thought of the scene of Wu Dawei shaking his teammates before. So he decided to do it as usual at this time!
He also quickly followed Valacho, who was retreating and trying to return to the paint area to defend. The latter was indeed a little panicked under such circumstances, but Paul George had not even made a complete shaking move. He suddenly felt that his hands were empty!
The ball in his hand was suddenly taken off from behind, something that no Indiana people present could have thought of.
In such a situation, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally seized the opportunity. After Wu Dawei took off the ball from Paul George's hand from the rear, he was not punished by the referee for a foul. So he turned around and immediately ran towards the Indiana Pacers' backcourt.
The Indiana Pacers players did not react at all at this time because Paul George was already chasing deep. The mixed crowd was like a pool of dim mud and water. Many people didn't see what was going on at all. In the blink of an eye, they suddenly found that Wu Dawei passed by him and ran towards the frontcourt...
When the rest of the Indiana Pacers heard Paul George's angrily shout, they finally understood.
So they chased Wu Dawei without stopping, but Wu Dawei was like a tank that accelerated with all his might. Although it was not particularly fast, it definitely made people feel extremely palpitations when they got close.
So in such a situation, of course, it is an excellent thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wu Dawei drove the ball toward the frontcourt, and the Indiana Pacers players were powerless to stop it.
In such a situation, Wu Dawei naturally could not make any mistakes. He directly rushed into the paint area of the Indiana Pacers, and then jumped up and made a burst dunk!
88 to 85!
The score gap instantly turned into 3 points, and such a situation undoubtedly made the Indiana Pacers explode!
The atmosphere in the entire Banker's Life Stadium was gone at this time, and the dead silence lingered above the Stadium at this time.
The Indiana Pacers head coach can no longer calm down at this time because the disadvantages facing the team seem to be unfolding.
Although they are still the leading side, their leading edge is being eroded by their opponents step by step. In this way, he naturally cannot sit idly by.
The head coach of the Indiana Pacers requested a timeout at this time, and they urgently needed an adjustment. After all, if this continues, the Indiana Pacers' leading advantage created in the previous three quarters will soon be nowhere left.
Wu Dawei scored 8 points in the fourth quarter, which was not the most terrifying thing. At the same time, his performance on the defensive end has improved.
This is the most troublesome thing, for the Indiana Pacers, it's an extremely bad thing.
So the Indiana Pacers head coach asked for a timeout without hesitation. They needed to calm themselves down. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were in high morale at this time. Although they were almost behind all night of games, they were still behind until now, but for the Cleveland Cavaliers, now, they really saw hope.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, of course, they are not willing to fall behind all the time. Now that they see hope of turning around in the last quarter of the game, they will certainly feel more and more happy and happy.
However, compared to the entire banker's arena, it is obvious that although the Indiana people are still the leading side at this time, their emotions are obviously much lower.
After all, they have always been the leading side in the game. Originally, they thought that the victory of this game should be almost certain, but who would have thought that when the game is at this point, the situation will change like this.
Now, for the Indiana Pacers, it’s not that they want to win this game, but that they need to consider how to maintain their leading position in this game tonight.
Of course they didn't want to be turned around by the Cleveland Cavaliers. But at this time the game was constantly forcing them.
This is indeed something that makes the Indiana Pacers feel very uncomfortable, so they need to have a very good performance in the next game.
Otherwise, maybe they could only watch the Cleveland Cavaliers overtake the score and eventually win the game!
So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, they naturally want to discuss how to solve the current dilemma in this next timeout.
At the same time, such a timeout opportunity can somewhat alleviate the crisis facing the Indiana Pacers at this time.
After all, under the leadership of Wu Dawei, the Cleveland Cavaliers did put the Indiana Pacers in great danger at this time.
It is not easy for them to survive such a danger now. They must perform better and eliminate the previous decline.
For the Indiana Pacers, the situation they are facing now is naturally extremely dangerous.
The score gap is only the last 3 points left, just a three-pointer, and the Cleveland Cavaliers can immediately catch up with the score gap.
Of course, none of this is what the Indiana Pacers who play at home are willing to see. After all, for them, they should have won the game tonight, and they also defeated the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers with a huge advantage.
In the previous three quarters, there was no doubt that the Indiana Pacers played very well, which also made them see such hope.
However, no one would have thought that such a situation would have undergone a complete change in the fourth quarter.
For the Indiana Pacers, they now need to perform better; compared to the Indiana Pacers who play at home, the current situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers is naturally much better than the Indiana Pacers.
Although he was still behind, the momentum of the game had already reached their side. Wu Dawei's continuous outstanding performance on both offense and defense was all the way to make the Cleveland Cavaliers faintly turn the score gap back at this time.
Such a situation made the Cleveland Cavaliers feel very excited at this time. During the timeout, Byron Scott, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, said that offending too much at this time, and hoped that the players could perform better after the timeout.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers had really seen the hope of a comeback at this time, so at this time, they naturally hope to take advantage of the victory.
To catch up with the score gap and hold the victory in your own hands is the most important thing for the current Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although they are still behind, there is no doubt that the current situation seems to have allowed them to see the series 3-0 shouting at them.
In this case, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally wanted to defeat their opponents in one go. Although the Indiana Pacers requested a timeout in time, it was obvious that this would not particularly affect the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the future.
They still believe that they can perform better in the game. Even though the Indiana Pacers were in excellent condition in this game tonight, they could not stop the Cleveland Cavaliers from wanting to win this game tonight.
The situation of the game undoubtedly became full of doubts not long after the start of the fourth quarter.
The Indiana Pacers fans at the scene no longer had the relaxed and happy mood they had before at this time, because their team was undoubtedly facing a downturn at this time.
After the two minutes of the timeout, the game will soon begin again, and the next battle between the two sides will naturally become crucial.
Because the score gap is only the last 3 points left, no one side can take it lightly at this time. Because once there is any carelessness, it may cause irreparable losses to the game.
So when both players reappeared, the expressions on the faces of the players on both sides seemed extremely cautious, but compared to the Indiana Pacers, it was obvious that the performance on the faces of the players of the Cleveland Cavaliers was more relaxed and joyful.
After all, Wu Dawei's previous performance did give them hope. The Indiana Pacers players were full of solemn expressions at this time...
Because they also understand very well that the situation they are facing is very bad at this time. For the Indiana Pacers, they are extremely eager to protect their current lead, but their colleagues also understand very well. It is indeed very difficult to do such a thing at this time.
Because Wu Dawei will definitely continue his outstanding performance in the game after the timeout, so the Indiana Pacers will be under greater pressure on the defensive end.
Once such pressure is brought to the offensive end, it will naturally have a very bad impact on the Indiana Pacers' offense and scoring.
All this is not something the Indiana Pacers are willing to see, so for them, what they need most now is to continue to score goals in the next game, and at the same time, they will further open the gap in the score.
This is an important thing because they don't want to really watch the Cleveland Cavaliers flip the score gap in the next game.
For the Indiana Pacers, they are leading the way for most of the game and will never want to see such a result.
So after the first attack after the timeout, the Indiana Pacers will definitely do their best to throw the ball into the basket.
George Hill held the ball at this time, and Lance Stephens, who had not performed much in this game tonight, finally took the initiative to get the ball at this time.
In the last game, there was no doubt that his attack with Wu Dawei had a period of time that attracted the attention of countless people. At this time, for Indiana Pacers fans, when they saw Lance Stephens holding the ball, they would inevitably think of the situation in the previous game.
Maybe it is possible that Lance Stephens will surprise them at this time, so the Indians seemed excited at this time.
Chapter completed!
