"Larry, are you alright?"

Because Larry Hughes's performance in the first half was so poor, so after the start of the second half, head coach Mike Brown put Larry Hughes on the bench and sent veteran Eric Snow to replace him.

"I'm fine, Donyer." Looking at Don Yell Marshall, who was sitting next to him, Larry Hughes shook his head at him and signaled that he was okay.

"Well, it's fine." Don Yell Marshall is a Cavaliers who joined Larry Hughes in the same season, so the relationship between the two is still very good, and Don Yell Marshall can understand Larry Hughes's unhappiness, but Don Yell Marshall also knows that Larry Hughes will not tell anyone even if he has something on his mind, so after Larry Hughes said that he was fine, Don Yell Marshall nodded to Larry Hughes, and then went to watch the rest of the game.

As a player who has high hopes by the Cavaliers management, Larry Hughes's performance after joining the Cavaliers is indeed a little sorry for the Cavaliers' 5-year $70 million contract for him, in fact, this can't blame Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes has always played the No. 2 or No. 3 position before joining the Cavaliers, and Larry Hughes is also the kind of player who needs the ball to play to the fullest, but Larry Hughes was forced to change to the No. 1 position after joining the Cavaliers. But because the core of the Cavaliers' organization is James, it leads to Larry Hughes, who is in the position of organizing guards on the court, but rarely has the opportunity to organize and attack with the ball, plus Larry Hughes's off-ball ability is very average, so Larry Hughes's position in the Cavaliers has always been very embarrassing, if it weren't for his three-point shooting ability, plus the big contract, it is estimated that he would not be able to stay in the Cavaliers now.

In the first round and semifinals of this season's playoffs, because the Nets and Bulls are crazy to wrap James, Larry Hughes has got a lot of opportunities, and all the statistics have been greatly improved compared with the regular season, so the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, specially formulated a separate strategy for Larry Hughes, hoping that he can continue the excellent performance in the first two rounds in the Eastern Conference Finals, but who would have thought that the Pacers did not include James at all, but listed Larry Hughes as the target of key defense, Under the stalking of Tony Allen, Larry Hughes, who was almost strangled to death, also disappointed Mike Brown, not to mention acting as a surprise soldier and a sharp knife to stab the Pacers with a fatal stab, even Mike Brown failed to do the minimum required of Larry Hughes.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Pacers still adhered to the previous defensive strategy, shrinking the basket, and as long as James does not go to the three-point line, they will not defend him, as for Eric Snow, who replaced Larry Hughes, under the defense of Tony Allen, he also did nothing, turning around, the Cavaliers can still rely on James alone.

On the other hand, on the Pacers' side, Meng Xu can score, Jermaine O'Neal can score, Tyshawn Prince can score, and even Tony Allen and Nn Hilario, who focus most of their energy on the defensive end, can find time to score points, so the score on the court has been stretched wider and wider over time.

Mike Brown, who has no way to deal with it, put his hands on his chest, and walked around the court helplessly, not even daring to watch the game that is going on in the court, but one thing is still clear to Mike Brown, that is, as the game time is getting less and less, the Cavaliers are getting closer and closer to the loss of the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

"With such a big point difference, do the Cavaliers and Pacers still have to fight?" There are 7 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter, the score on the court is 71-99, and the Cavaliers are already 28 points behind the Pacers.

"There is still a big gap between the strength of the Cavaliers and the Pacers." Looking at James who rushed into the basket with the ball, but was covered by Jermaine O'Neal, Magic Johnson on the sideline commentary bench was a little inexplicably distressed, since the beginning of the second half, James has hit the Pacers' interior again and again, but in the face of the Pacers who contracted the defense, and the inside twin towers composed of NN Hilario and Jermaine O'Neal, James' efforts mostly ended in failure, in the opinion of Magic Johnson, James has worked hard enough in today's game, But due to the overall disparity in strength, they can't take a win away from the Pacers' home court.

Similarly, Meng Xu, who was standing on the court, couldn't bear to look directly when he saw James hitting the Pacers' basket again and again when he was already behind by a big score, trying to narrow the gap by a little, maybe this is James's persistence and desire for victory.

When Meng Xu hit a three-point shot under James's defense, widening the difference between the two sides to 30 points, Mike Brown finally called a timeout and replaced all the main forces, whether James wants to or not, Mike Brown does not plan to let him continue to play, even if James finishes the rest of the game, it is impossible to narrow the difference between the two sides to less than 20 points, rather than wasting his physical strength so much, it is better to let him sit on the court and rest for a while, so as to prepare for the next game in advance.

James, who was substituted off the field, took a towel directly and covered it on his head after getting off the field, and when he was halfway through today's game, James knew that he would lose, but James didn't want to lose, he didn't want to accept his fate, but the reality made James have to bow his head and have to face this unacceptable reality.

In the end, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 84-115, and the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers by as many as 31 points, and the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

And when the broadcast camera of the scene showed James sitting on the bench on the sidelines, biting his fingers constantly, those reporters who were expecting James to defeat Meng Xu and be crowned king before the game began, all felt the confusion and despair on James's face.
