521.
The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 6-2 lead at the opening, and all of these 6 points were obtained by Wu Dawei.⊕
Such a situation undoubtedly made the Indiana Pacers very uncomfortable at this time. After all, the game had just begun, and they were directly behind and gave their opponents 4 points.
It was undoubtedly a very different situation from the last game to let the Cleveland Cavaliers play such an opening in their home court.
Of course, the Indiana people don't like this at all, but it's obvious that it's useless for them to not like it at this time. If they want to change such a situation, then they must perform better in the game.
This is the most important thing, so after conceding the ball, the Indiana Pacers ran through the half again and they needed to score.
Although 4 points behind cannot be caught up in one offensive round, at least they need to soothe their inner depression at this time.
After all, the Indiana Pacers are still scared about Wu Dawei's personal ability. No one likes to face such an opponent, because it is very likely that you will feel lost.
And in this entire series, Paul George, who was facing Wu Dawei, now feels like this from head to toe.
Especially since he is also a core player of the team and a new generation of stars in the league, this feeling will make him even more embarrassed.
Because it can be said that he was completely defeated by Wu Dawei. As a new generation star who is believed to have great potential, such a situation made Paul George very hurt.
But fortunately, he still had an extremely firm will, which is a particularly critical matter. This is why Paul George still stood in front of Wu Dawei at this time.
He seemed fearless, and he was indeed determined.
So when George Hill chose to pass the ball to him again, Paul George did not refuse, and he jumped up directly. Then he used a long shot from outside the three-point line to complete the attack.
This shot failed to block Wu Dawei, which also scored for the Indiana Pacers, and the score became 6-5. Although the Indiana Pacers were still behind, it was obvious that Paul George's three-pointer still greatly boosted morale.
The score became 6-5. Of course, the Indiana Pacers are still the one behind, but the difference is only 1 point, which still boosts the morale of the whole team!
It’s just that obviously this game tonight is destined to be a night for Wu Dawei or the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So when the ball rights were changed, as the most troublesome point of the Indiana Pacers, Wu Dawei scored again.
It was not a three-point shot like Paul George, but a two-point shot. Wu Dawei used the pick-and-roll to complete a mid-range jump shot.
The ball entered the basket again, and the score became 8-5, and the Cleveland Cavaliers opened the gap in the score again to 3 points.
The Indiana Pacers did the most to limit Wu Dawei at the beginning, and Wu Dawei scored 8 points in a row at the beginning.
He won all the points in the Cleveland Cavaliers' opening, and as his defender, Paul George had no choice at this time.
He had no choice but to do anything. Facing Wu Dawei's attack, he felt very powerless. Although he did want to stop Wu Dawei's attack, it was obvious that he could not do it.
Although the behind-the-score gap can be narrowed by attack or even equalized, in the end, they still put them in an extremely disadvantageous and passive situation.
This is certainly not what the Indiana Pacers like, so they naturally need to make some efforts.
But at this time, they still have to play their own offense first. After all, they are at a disadvantage and lagging behind. If they cannot score goals, they will fall behind more and more.
So at this time, the Indiana Pacers, who play at home, naturally need to make good attacks, which is the most important point.
In this game tonight, although the Indiana Pacers fell into a passive disadvantage from the beginning, their offensive state was still similar to the previous game, almost exactly the same.
After the offense and defense transition, they continued to score goals on the offensive end, which was a very good signal.
The score then became 8-7. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers got the lead at the beginning and they began to take the initiative, the Indiana Pacers they faced were pressing against them step by step at this time.
They are not willing to be at the disadvantage and lagging side like this, so the Indiana Pacers are reluctant to leave. They hope to chase back the disadvantage, but the Cleveland Cavaliers will never give up the lead easily.
So both sides played very fiercely after the start. After Wu Dawei scored 8 consecutive points in the beginning, he was taken care of by the Indiana Pacers.
So he started to choose to pass the ball, and it was obvious that in this game tonight, Cliff performed much better than the previous game.
Under such circumstances, they began to help Wu Dawei share the pressure on his body, which of course was a great thing for Wu Dawei.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, his physical reserves are limited. Now, the help of his teammates can naturally give him more rest opportunities.
This is of course a great thing, so Wu Dawei won't feel too tired, after all, the game has 48 minutes.
In such a long game, Wu Dawei was not made by a machine, so he naturally felt tired. So when the two sides were fighting more and more intensely, the help of his teammates was very critical for Wu Dawei.
It is obvious that in the face of such a match point battle between the Cleveland Cavaliers, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers felt extremely excited and anticipated.
So they naturally hope to win this game, so naturally everyone is trying their best. Because no one wants to continue waiting, let’s end this round of series in this game.
This is the result that the entire Cleveland Cavaliers want to get. So at this time, it will naturally be the three armies who will try their best to get their lives.
Everyone wants to win the game, so no one will easily disarm.
The fierce battle continued under such circumstances, and both sides played very anxiously in the entire first quarter.
Such a anxious situation is naturally the result of both sides' efforts, but both sides are of course dissatisfied with such a situation.
After all, no matter whether it is, it will definitely not want to get entangled with the opponent in the game, which is not a good thing.
So both sides are naturally trying their best to widen the score at this time. No matter whether they are, they will never want to get entangled with each other.
However, the score in the first quarter was indeed extremely anxious. It was difficult for both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers to completely widen the gap in the score at this time.
But relatively speaking, of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gained the upper hand, after all, they are now the leading side.
At the end of the first quarter, the score became 31-28. The Cleveland Cavaliers played so smoothly at the start. They only scored a 3-point lead, which of course made them feel extremely dissatisfied.
After all, they had the opportunity to widen the score gap more, but the Indiana Pacers' counterattack slowed down the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This will naturally make them feel extremely unhappy, but the Indiana Pacers are also very dissatisfied with such a score.
Although the disadvantage of 3 points is not a big deal, this is not the result the Indiana Pacers want to get.
But when the first quarter ended, both sides could only accept this fact helplessly, but the fierce competition in the first quarter was enough to show that both teams did not relax their vigilance in this game.
Whether it is the Cleveland Cavaliers who have won three games in the series, or the Indiana Pacers who are believed to be hopeless by the outside world, they have not relaxed their vigilance at this time.
Such a fierce competition will of course become an extremely exciting game, but the players on both sides feel dissatisfied with this, which is certainly a matter of certainty.
However, in the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers still took the initiative, and this is still due to Wu Dawei.
If Wu Dawei had not performed well in the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers would not have been able to gain a leading advantage in the first quarter.
So at this time, the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers is still not optimistic at this time because they rely too much on Wu Dawei's performance in this round of the series.
If Wu Dawei performs poorly, then the Cleveland Cavaliers' situation in the second quarter will still be greatly impacted.
So at the end of the first quarter, the entire Cleveland Cavaliers would still feel very Alexander about this, because they didn't know whether they could win the game if they continued like this.
After all, this is the Indiana Pacers' home stadium. But no matter what, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the ones who took the lead at the end of the first quarter.
At least in this regard, they still have a slight advantage. So for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, they are of course quite satisfied with the first quarter game.
Because in such a situation they have a 3-point lead, and for the next game, they certainly hope to continue to gain a leading advantage.
Of course, they hope to always gain a leading advantage until the end of this game. After all, if they can win this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers can complete the great achievement of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals in advance.
If it enters the Eastern Conference Finals again this season, it will be the fourth consecutive year that the Cleveland Cavaliers have entered the Eastern Conference Finals. The last team that has done this in the Eastern Conference since the 21st century is the Detroit Pistons!
However, in most people's opinion, this is basically a foregone conclusion. After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are already ahead of their opponents in the series 3-0, are already in the hope of advancing.
In this game tonight, as long as they can play a very exciting attack wave and slightly widen the score gap, they are likely to defeat the entire Indiana Pacers' psychological defense line in an instant!
Once the opponent's psychological collapse, it will be natural for the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the game in this game.
So during the inter-quarter pause after the end of the first quarter, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott emphasized the importance of this point in particular. He hoped that the players could play more strongly in subsequent games, because the opponents were likely to collapse in an instant.
So at this time this is a battle of wits and courage. If the Cleveland Cavaliers can successfully perform like that, then this game tonight will become very relaxed.
At the end of the first quarter, their head coach naturally emphasized this to the Indiana Pacers players.
After the two-minute break, the second quarter games followed one after another. Whether for the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Indiana Pacers, they certainly hope to perform well in the second quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides naturally let their core players rest under the basketball court, so at this time, the performance of the rotating players becomes a crucial matter.
Of course, Wu Dawei was sitting under the basketball court to rest. After all, the team's situation is not particularly bad now, so he doesn't need to be like in the second half of the last game. He has never been able to get a chance to rest.
After the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers led their opponents Indiana Pacers by 3 points away. Although this lead was not big, it was enough to give Wu Dawei some chance to breathe under the basketball court at this time.
This is of course a very precious thing for him. So at this time he sat off the field to regain his strength, but his teammates' performance made him feel a little anxious.
In two consecutive away games, the performance of other Cleveland Cavaliers players was not satisfactory, and at this time, the same was true for the bench players of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the basketball court.
Although the Cleveland Cavaliers made the Indiana Pacers' three points in the first quarter, when the game entered the second quarter, the Pacers still quickly closed the gap in the score.
After all, the disadvantage of 3 points is not very big. Sometimes it can be solved with just one three-pointer, so at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers accidentally turned into stone and were seized by the Indiana Pacers and turned the original lead into vanish.
This situation made Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott, who was standing on the sidelines, shake his head repeatedly, but it was obvious that he had no choice but to say about it.
So at this time, the Cleveland Cavaliers naturally had to accept such a bad start in the second quarter. The Indiana Pacers quickly equalized the score, which is of course a good thing for the Indiana Pacers who play at home.
Although they didn't start as well as their last game tonight, at least they didn't give the Cleveland Cavaliers a complete control of the pace at once.
They know very clearly that they actually have a good chance, but the premise is that they have to seize such an opportunity is the most important thing.
If they can't seize such an opportunity, it's easy for the Indiana Pacers to lose at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Otherwise, they would not have been the ones who failed in the past three games. This is the pain in the heart of the Indiana Pacers. Of course, they don’t want to continue like this, but at this time it is obvious that they must accept such a cruel reality.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are indeed better than them. If they want to win the game in the competition with the Cleveland Cavaliers, then they have to put in more effort and sweat.
After all, the Cleveland Cavaliers have performed extremely amazingly from the beginning this season, so the Indiana Pacers know that if they want to win the game, they need to try to get a chance. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
