The game was moving forward in the direction expected by the Pacers, and their defense performed very well. Fortunately, the Pacers finally found the feel on the outside, and JR Smith, a nerve knife, pulled out his own knife at this time.

Two consecutive rounds, Eric Gordon hit a chasing three-pointer, keeping the Cavaliers' score difference in the controllable score of 10 points.

Eric Gordon is also a 3-pointer with a nerve knife, and even more three-pointers than JR Smith on the opposite side. Unfortunately, one thing is that Eric Gordon's knife seems to have lent to JR Smith on the opposite side tonight.

This is not that there is no defense in place, but that the opposite character player explodes.

The offense on this side relies on Lin Sen and George. Gordon's touch is not there, CJ Myers needs the pass from his teammates, and Turner's singles ability on the offensive end is just like that. Lin Sen and George swept the entire half on the defensive end, and the offensive end has to create opportunities for teammates. He can still do this when the game is full of energy at the beginning.

Now the game has reached the 8th minute. The Pacers Gemini, who has been dominating both ends of the offense and defense, had problems with their physical strength. The first person to replace them to rest was George. As the first hurdle to make up for defense on the outside, when Eric Gordon felt bad on the offense, George had to take on a lot of tasks on the offense. He held the ball in the inside and he had to come on the outside. His defense range was wider than Lin Sen, and he was relatively more tired.

The Pacers' rotation earlier than the Cavaliers means that their vacuum period appears earlier, and James' physical bug seems to have been ready to not end in the first quarter. Without George in front of him, does he still need to pick-and-roll to find opportunities? Obviously no longer needed.

Glen Robinson III has excellent bounce, but in terms of speed, there is a very obvious difference between James' speed. James has three threats on the outside and is simply too lazy to even do fake moves. After raising his hand, he can accelerate the breakthrough with all his strength.

The speed crushed and the strength of the body also had an advantage. The first step directly squeezed out Glenn Robinson III's defense, and Lin Sen was forced to raise it to a higher position to stop James.

Shooting? No, it's an aerial relay. Lin Sen, who reacted, had too late to make up for the aerial relay. The TT behind him had already completed this offense with a good idea. On the offensive end, he had only the second attack to grab the offensive board, but he had the only attack method of eating cake. So for him, he would naturally not let him go with such an opportunity.

After a few minutes, Lin Sen was just out of the game. The great advantage of the first quarter was just handed over. The Cavaliers took advantage of James' ability to play in the first quarter and forced the score back.

"The Cavaliers used LeBron's physical strength and JR's exhaustion for two minutes to make up for their disadvantage in the score." Bill Walton did not comment on the Cavaliers' thoughts, but from his tone and expression, it can be seen that he did not think that the Cavaliers were the right way to do it.

Rachel was much more blunt: "Terron Lu only knew one move when he was behind, and LeBron played two more minutes, but he should not forget that LeBron is almost 33 years old at this time, and he still thought that he had full offense and defense on the court for 40 minutes. This is probably unrealistic! LeBron should have left his physical strength slot in the fourth quarter instead of now."

The Cavaliers' overly average record in the middle of the season and the problems exposed in the locker room made Tyron Lu replace David Blatt as the new coach. But now it seems that Tyron Lu's on-the-spot command issues were undoubtedly exposed. The Cavaliers played a crushing game in the last game, and this time, the Pacers made changes.

Lin Sen smiled. This is Tyron Lu. He is good at making chicken soup. If he is directing the game, this on-the-spot reaction will be when their offensive end is restricted. The only skill he can do is James. This move is effective and lasting. His offensive end was still very average last season, so his help to the team is more helpful to the entire team.

But at this point in time, it was a little too early for this Cavaliers. James was forced to play the whole game in the first quarter. What's next?

Without James, Irving had to rest. When it was time for the second team in the second quarter, Love had to come forward to take over this time. On this side, Eric Gordon and George played together in the second team. George didn't play for a long time in the first quarter, and he could also play with the second team in the second quarter. The difference in the lineup on the court can be seen at a glance.

Jefferson vs. George, Shampoo vs. Gordon, and JR Smith vs. Hill! From this, the outside trio Pacers took advantage, especially at George's point, he had no intention of showing mercy to deal with a veteran who was about to retire.

Especially in the face of the Cavaliers's franchise-protecting team, George was very fierce in the inside offense, and broke through to the penalty area to make various defenses, layups, dunks, and throws. In just three minutes, George scored 8 points alone.

The Cavaliers fans who watched this game on a large screen in the Cleveland Arena were quite depressed, and it was so uncomfortable. They miss Lin Sen, who is now protecting the frame on the opposite side, and was their last barrier a season ago.

"Bill, guess what minutes will Tyron Lue bring LeBron into the field?"

"How many minutes? Rachel, you overestimated Tyron Lu's patience. At most half a minute, when the score difference returns to 10 points again, LeBron will definitely play!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tyron Lu's unique skill appeared and James played again, but this time his appearance did not have an immediate effect. George and Linson were very good at defensive end, one in front and one behind, just like the previous defensive Antetokounmpo, which did not give James too much room for breakthrough.

The first time he forced his breakthrough, he was directly blocked by the double player's main position. Even he couldn't find the empty space where his team should exist?

Then he tried two long shots, but the effect was very average. In the first quarter, George and Linson were not present, but it was difficult for James to play in such an indescribable state.

"Oh, Tyron Lu's tricks are no longer working, he's going to cry now." Bill Walton likes to watch jokes, such as the current Knight.

"That's right. Every time the team is deadlocked, I don't want to change the team's playing style immediately. I just let LeBron take on the team's offense. These things can still work in some ordinary teams. The Pacers have the best defensive player and the best defensive lineup. Can LeBron dominate the field so easily? "
