117. It's impossible to say
The game with the Pacers is also extremely difficult, but fortunately, the entire Cavaliers team had noticed this before the game, so they would not be caught off guard by their opponents during the game and completely lose control of the game.
However, this game is still quite difficult and difficult for the Cavaliers, both physically and psychologically.
They lost to the Chicago Bulls in the last game, and then they had to compete with a strong inside opponent. If there was no psychological pressure, it would be impossible. Their inside was just beaten in the last game, and then they would meet two fierce inside players.
This really makes people feel that the chrysanthemums are tightening!
The game was quite anxious from the beginning, and the Cavaliers once again exposed their team's landing point in the game so that they didn't even have a fig leaf. From the beginning of the game, the Pacers unswervingly launched an attack on the Cavaliers' inside. Whether it was the back-to-back singles of the two inside players or the breakthrough of the outside players, the pressure on Valejo and Caman in the inside was quite huge.
Fortunately, although these two players were at a disadvantage in the game, they still tenaciously resisted the opponent's fierce offensive. What gave them strength and confidence was that the outside players of the Cavaliers performed against the will tonight.
Wu Dawei scored only 20 points and 7 rebounds in the last game of losing to the Bulls. At the beginning of this evening, he won the first eight points of the team and almost managed to maintain the game on the court for the Cavaliers.
Apart from Wu Dawei, other Cavaliers' outside players, Changxi Billups, Kyrie Irving, and even Anthony Parker, Ramon Sessions, all performed well.
This also ensures that the Cavaliers always have a narrow lead over their opponents on the court. On the defensive end, in addition to being not strong inside, Wu Dawei started with the Pacers at the No. 3 position instead of the injured Granger. He also had an advantage in the confrontation between Paul George, who performed well.
George did not score any points in the first quarter against Wu Dawei, and Wu Dawei almost blocked him. Because apart from not allowing George to score, George also had no assists in the first quarter. Instead, he was blocked by Wu Dawei and also stole it once. The result was that he was completely blown up.
The game progress is still relatively fast, and both sides have offense and defense, but in general, the Cavaliers have to have some advantages. Although the Pacers are stronger than the Cavaliers in the interior, these players of the Cavaliers have experienced the finals after all. Valaijo is a player who has experienced two finals, not to mention that the Cavaliers have an FMVP in the backcourt, which is naturally not comparable to those of young players like the Pacers.
