The start of the second quarter was not good for the Cleveland Cavaliers because they were not able to continue the situation of the first quarter in the second quarter.1▽
The Indiana Pacers performed better at this time, and such a performance also helped the Indiana Pacers quickly adapted to the score gap they had fallen behind in the first quarter.
Both sides quickly stood on the same starting line, which is of course a very good thing for the Indiana Pacers who play at home, but at the same time, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, this situation naturally makes them feel very uncomfortable.
Of course they didn't want such a situation to happen, but after the start of the second quarter, they were also unable to reverse the situation of such a game. Wu Dawei, who was sitting off the court, could only watch his team equalize the score by his opponent, and even overtake the score in the end.
This made Wu Dawei feel very uncomfortable, and the people who also feel uncomfortable also have Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott.
Standing on the sidelines, he frowned at this because it was obviously not something he wanted to see. However, at this moment, such a thing happened again and again.
When the team entered the away game, the performance of the Cleveland Cavaliers was actually not satisfactory. Except for Wu Dawei still performed extremely well, the performance of other players was completely incomparable to their performance in home games.
It is precisely because of this that the Cleveland Cavaliers have had such a difficult game in Game 3, which is something that makes them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Before the start of the fourth game, Byron Scott originally hoped that the players could sweep away the shadow of their poor performance in the third game and win the game in one go.
But who would have thought that the Cleveland Cavaliers were in such a bad situation just after the second quarter of the game...
The Cleveland Cavaliers once again became the backward side. The Indiana Pacers performed extremely well after the start of the second quarter.
However, at this time, this is certainly not what the Cleveland Cavaliers want to see, especially Byron Scott, the team's head coach, so of course he could not watch the opponent overturn the score gap and disadvantages so unscrupulously.
As the team's head coach, of course he has to make some corresponding adjustments at this time. He cannot let his opponents do whatever he wants. After all, in this game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have only one idea, that is, to win the game smoothly!
This is the only idea for the Cleveland Cavaliers in this Pizza game, so of course Byron Scott doesn't want to be destroyed by his opponent in this way.
The game is still in progress. Although Byron Scott did not request a timeout, it is obvious that he still has to make some adjustments to the game at this moment.
So he waved to the bench and called Wu Dawei to his side. In the first quarter of the game tonight, Wu Dawei had already scored 10 points.
There is no doubt that on the offensive end, Wu Dawei still continued his extremely exciting and efficient performance since entering the playoffs.
.It is precisely because Wu Dawei was able to perform such a stable performance as always that the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to gain a leading advantage in the first quarter.
Now, Byron Scott will of course continue to pin his hopes on Wu Dawei. After all, Wu Dawei, as the core of the team, has saved the Cleveland Cavaliers from danger again and again.
And in this regard, Byron Scott was naturally used to pin his hopes on Wu Dawei under such circumstances.
After all, his outstanding performance in the first quarter was also the key to the Cleveland Cavaliers being able to take the lead away.
So at this time, Byron Scott naturally wanted to continue to count on Wu Dawei's performance. Wu Dawei, who had been resting on the bench for a few minutes, immediately returned to the basketball court. He naturally seemed extremely positive about this.
After all, he could see how critical the current situation of his team was. He knew that under such a situation, as the core of the team, he certainly had to stand up.
Because if I don’t stand up at this time, then who can stand up to help the Cleveland Cavaliers now?
After all, he is the core of the team, and Wu Dawei has never forgotten this.
Wu Dawei's appearance will naturally touch the hearts of many people at this time. Especially as an opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers naturally paid great attention to Wu Dawei's appearance at this time.
But he did not blindly and chose to substitutions, because he also understood that although Paul George, the best player in the third position in his team, is one of the top players in the league, he is always at a disadvantage in the competition with Wu Dawei.
Now the entire Indiana Pacers have a great chemistry on both ends of the offense and defense, so he doesn't want to continue blindly choosing substitutions like he did in the previous three games.
After all, Paul George's performance in the previous three games is enough to prove that he is not able to defend Wu Dawei's attack well.
So instead of blindly substitutions at this time, it is better to observe it first. After all, even if you can't defend Wu Dawei's attack for a while, you can at least maintain the team's offensive state.
After all, the score has now become 35-38. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who were leading by 3 points in the second quarter, have now become 3 points behind the Indiana Pacers.
Such an advantage If the Indiana Pacers can continue to maintain their offensive form, it will not be easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to make it back.
Although Wu Dawei not only performed extremely well on the offensive end, he was also a very terrifying player on the defensive end; but after all, he was just a person after all. No matter how outstanding he was, he could not defend the entire team's offense with his own strength.
So at this time, for the Indiana Pacers, Wu Dawei must be treated with great caution when playing. But he doesn't need to feel so blindly afraid.
After all, there is no such need.
After Wu Dawei came on the court, it was obvious that the entire Cleveland Cavaliers made tactical adjustments, and the team found the backbone.
When Wu Dawei came on the court, Wu Dawei must be the player who was surrounded, and of course he would not let down the trust of his teammates.
After reappearing, Wu Dawei scored a goal immediately. There is no doubt that Wu Dawei, who can still average 40 points in this series, will not be afraid of any defensive player in the Indiana Pacers lineup.
The score quickly became 37 to 38, and Wu Dawei's appearance immediately had an immediate effect. The gap in the score instantly became 1 point.
But this did not make the Indiana Pacers feel panic, because they quickly retaliated against the Cleveland Cavaliers on their offense.
And it was also a three-pointer shot. Such a response is of course very good for the Indiana Pacers.
The score also became 37-41, and the Indiana Pacers quickly widened the gap in the score to 4 points.
This made the entire banker's life stadium unable to help but cheer extremely violently, and of course they would feel very excited about it.
After all, this is what the Indiana Pacers want to get. Even if they can't defend Wu Dawei, they must at least keep themselves in excellent form on the offensive end.
This is very important. As long as the Indiana Pacers, who are in the leading position at this time, can always maintain their hot feel on the offensive end, it will still be easy for the Indiana Pacers to maintain their lead.
This is the most critical game for the Indiana Pacers in the series, winning or going home, and such a theme is a cloud lingering in the hearts of the Indiana Pacers tonight.
This put them incredibly under great pressure. But at the same time, it also gave the Indiana Pacers more motivation. They had already reached the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and further into the Eastern Conference finals. Of course, they were unwilling to give up just like that.
Although the atmosphere in their entire team was extremely depressed before the game, the Indiana Pacers hope to continue moving forward.
After all, they finally made it to the semi-finals. Although their situation is extremely critical in the semi-finals, if possible, the Indiana Pacers players still hope that they can create miracles.
After all, this is a place where miracles are born!
This is what they expect to see, so at this time, they will not choose to give up in this game tonight.
Now their efforts have gained a little, and they have once again gained a leading advantage. In fact, from this point, we can see from the perspective that although the Indiana Pacers are currently behind the Cleveland Cavaliers 0-3 in the series, they are actually still able to hold a stalemate with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This actually means that they are actually able to win the game, so at this time, the Indiana Pacers will certainly not choose to give up easily.
If possible, of course they hope to do their best to try to win one game or even two games...
So even though Wu Dawei performed well, they still tried their best.
What they are trying to maintain now is naturally the leading advantage they have finally achieved, but at this time, Wu Dawei will still put great pressure on them after he comes on the court.
This is also unquestionable. When Wu Dawei came on the court, it was as easy as scoring on the basketball court.
At least at this time, the Indiana Pacers still couldn't come up with an effective solution to curb Wu Dawei's personal attack.
In such a situation, they naturally could only watch Wu Dawei score easily on the offensive end.
Of course, this also somewhat hit the morale of the Indiana Pacers. After all, they finally managed to score a goal under the defense of the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Wu Dawei's goal seemed so easy.
His tonnage is really great in the third position. His speed is really not slow when he has a strong tonnage.
This naturally makes the Indiana Pacers feel a headache on the defensive end, but the more they get headaches, the less they can do it.
So in such a situation, the Indiana Pacers naturally can only choose to continue to maintain their firepower on the offensive end.
Only by maintaining their offensive firepower can the Indiana Pacers struggle to maintain their current lead...
This was an extremely difficult thing for the Indiana Pacers, but at this time they had no other choice; but at the same time, their performance was actually causing great trouble to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, Wu Dawei is also a human being, and he will feel tired. No matter how outstanding he is on the offensive end, he will have to rest for a while. In the last game, he did not get any rest time in the second half of the game, and now the situation seems so unoptimistic.
For Wu Dawei, this is not a test, a difficult journey.
But at this time, Wu Dawei must insist on holding on like the current Indiana Pacers.
Because for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as long as they win this game tonight, they can complete the promotion in the Eastern Conference Finals.
This is of course a great thing, so no matter how hard Wu Dawei feels, he will definitely choose to persevere.
Because this is something he has to do.
But overall, when Wu Dawei re-appeared on the basketball court in the second quarter, the situation of the game naturally suddenly became different.
It is no longer like before, and it is blindly the Indiana Pacers suppressing the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cleveland Cavaliers also began to launch a counterattack under the leadership of Wu Dawei.
Moreover, since Wu Dawei is really unstoppable, this will consume the Indiana Pacers' defensive energy even more.
Their physical strength will definitely be affected, and as the game deepens, they will definitely be affected on the offensive end.
So slowly, of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to catch up with the score gap again. This is beyond doubt. Wu Dawei maintained his outstanding personal offensive performance in the first quarter.
Although the score gap was once widened by the Indiana Pacers, it was slowly filled in.
Because although the Indiana Pacers, who played as a substitute, played well in the period when the second quarter just started, they still seemed a little weak in the face of Wu Dawei and the others.
So in this case, they naturally began to slowly show a downward trend, and the head coach of the Indiana Pacers naturally could not easily watch their team show a downward trend without caring about it.
So at this time, the head coach of the Indiana Pacers naturally began to make corresponding personnel adjustments.
When the scores of both sides were tied again with Wu Dawei's efforts, the Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers also made personnel adjustments at the same time.
Both sides replaced their core players onto the court, and at this time Wu Dawei had been playing for several minutes.
His physical fitness will naturally be consumed a lot, and this is something the Indiana Pacers head coach is happy to see.
His strategy is quite like Tian Ji’s horse racing, but as for the effect, of course it depends on the situation after the competition starts again.
After all, Wu Dawei has not played for a whole game without a rest. Although this is a test, it is not unacceptable.
If Wu Dawei continues to maintain high-intensity offensive and defensive performance after the game begins, then the Indiana Pacers head coach's strategy will undoubtedly be difficult to work.
And at this time, Paul George will still put pressure on him, or even greater pressure on him, when he plays again.
After all, Wu Dawei had already scored 18 points at this time, and he had not even played halfway through the second quarter and was about to go for 20 points. This is almost a foregone conclusion.
Chapter completed!
