Obviously, losing the first game of the series is not what the Cavaliers want to see, especially since this is still their home court, so everyone is holding their breath to get back on the court in Game 2. Jackson was mentally prepared, but he was still taken aback by the impact of the Cavaliers, which looked like two completely different teams!

Chang Wei didn't foresee such a situation either, but he knew that the Cavaliers would definitely not be willing to lose, and it would be hilarious to lose two home games in a row. Teams generally perform better at home than on the road, which is an important factor why every playoff team wants to fight for a top-four finish in the division, as it gives them a home-field advantage.

When the Cavaliers started the game 8-0, Chang Wei just froze for a moment, and then calmed down, this situation is inevitable, it just depends on whether the time is early or late. However, Chang Wei believes that the players should be able to react quickly and make certain adjustments, and now the experience of this group of guys is not lacking, and dealing with such a situation is just a trivial matter.

However, to Chang Wei's surprise, it was not Roy who stood up to lead the team against the opponent, but Gasol Jr., who had been in the league for less than a season. In fact, when the Cavaliers scored in a row, the Bobcats players also wanted to respond, but this time their shooting touch did not become hot because of the warm-up, and it was a little embarrassing to miss consecutive shots.

What's more, Roy is entangled in West, and the team has no other attackers, so Gasol Jr.'s low singles are the most effective way for the Bobcats to score. He is about the same height as Ilgoskas, but Gasol Jr. has an absolute advantage in terms of weight, as long as Roy flashes West's interception and sends the ball inside, it is an assist.

Although Il Goskas is also a European player, and he joined the NBA much earlier than Gasol Jr., Gasol Jr. obviously does not have the idea of respecting the old and loving the young, and every time he receives the ball, he crushes it very hard to the basket, and then hits it through Ilgoskas hook hand. Ilgoskas is also helpless, his strength is not enough, and he has no advantage at all in the face of Gasol Jr.

But this style of play is only a stopgap measure, because this is not the Bobcats' style of play, and Gasol Jr.'s singles have greatly slowed down the team's tempo. What's more, the Bobcats struggled to defend against the Cavaliers' players on the defensive end, and Hughes seemed to have the hang of it, and many of James' passes could be converted into assists or indirect assists, which kept the Cavaliers under pressure.

This situation lasted for most of the quarter, and it was only when the two sides made substitutions that the Bobcats barely managed to recover a little bit of the situation. After all, their bench is much stronger than that of the Cavaliers, and there is no need to be stingy in terms of physical strength, although James still stays on the court and plays with the bench, but he is more or less affected by Chandler's entanglement.

Relying on the play of the bench players, the Bobcats did not lag behind the Cavaliers too much, and the score of the two sides was 32-37 at the end of the first quarter, and 5 points was really nothing for the Bobcats. But what makes Jackson vigilant is the Cavaliers' scoring distribution, except for James, almost everyone who played the Cavaliers scored, Hughes and West scored 8 points each, which is already a good performance for them, it seems that the Cavaliers are really soldiers in this game!

After Jackson's deployment, the Bobcats' defense improved a lot in the second quarter, but the Cavaliers' offense was sharper, and Brown also took the opportunity to send Gibson, a three-point shooter, hoping that he could give the team some support on the outside.

Looking at the situation on the court, Jackson looked a little helpless, and the Cavaliers players felt unexpectedly against the sky, and they didn't know how many times the scene of forcing a shot against the defense appeared. Whenever there is such a strong throw, the entire Quick Loan Arena will resound like a tsunami of cheers, and this atmosphere has also had a certain impact on the Bobcats' players.

Chang Wei is also very helpless, this is the most speechless thing in the game, no matter how good you do, people can score, it seems that your defense is useless at all. But the fact that you've done your best is a huge amount of humiliation. In such a situation, in addition to sacrificing a mad dog defense, you can only pray that the other party's hand feels cold.

Jackson did want his players to be more aggressive on the defensive end, but unfortunately there are only two defenders on the Bobcats court right now, Ariza and Allen. In his previous life, Gasol Jr. was also a defensive titan on the inside, but now Chang Wei pays more attention to his strategy and scoring ability, and as for defense, he only needs to stand under the basket.

Ariza and Allen's defense was mostly aimed at James, and the others didn't suffer much, and with their already good shooting touch, the Bobcats' efforts on the defensive end didn't make much of a difference. By the end of the first half, they were still trailing by 10 points, 57-67, and that was a delicate margin.

At halftime, Jackson spoke dryly in the locker room, but it was all nonsense that came and went. In fact, for any coach, I can't tell any tricks, the situation on the field is simply that I don't feel good, the other party is in super god, no matter how you arrange, this game is an abnormal duel, and it seems better to accept fate.

Not to be outdone, the Bobcats tried to fight back in the third quarter, but halftime didn't save them from their poor hand, and they basically had to rely on Gasol Jr. to score in the low post. In a way, he was the only player on the team to earn in this game, having already scored 18 points and six rebounds by halftime.

Gasol Jr.'s offense obviously couldn't save the Bobcats, and could only stop the bleeding for the team, and the Cavaliers were not in a hurry to control the point difference, they had a lot of veterans on the team, and they definitely didn't want to use 9 points when they could spend 8 points. Now that you have control over the field, there is no need to play aggressively anymore, and lowering the tempo appropriately is a good thing for the fitness of the players.

The Bobcats can be said to have no chance to turn the tables in the whole game, and in the end they could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat 92-105. However, for them who are about to return to their home court, a win on the road in Cleveland is already earned, which has directly wiped out the home advantage of the Cavaliers, and who can say that they have no chance of qualifying?
