The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 318 Change of Tactics
.

At this time, CCTV's sports news is not over yet, but the second half of the game is about to start.

At that time, webcasting was not very developed. At that time, there was no WIFI, and the traffic fee was extremely expensive. It cost 30M for five yuan per month. For the student party, it had to be used every month, even for office workers. It may not be possible to use it. The 3G network was just emerging at that time, and the network speed was also slow.

Therefore, most people watch Sky Net or Sina's NBA text live broadcast.

For the audience waiting to watch the game in front of the TV, the game is naturally important. Who wants to watch the sports news? Many fans are counting the time in front of the TV.

Once the opening time of the second half is approaching and CCTV has not switched back to the live broadcast, fans began to pick up the phone and call the hotline of CCTV 5, demanding to switch back the live broadcast of the Blazers against the Mavericks.

In just 2 minutes, CCTV's hotline was overwhelmed, and all subsequent calls were busy.

And CCTV was also stubborn, and didn't cut back the live broadcast until after the kick-off in the second half.

"Everyone in the audience, welcome back to the second half of the game. As soon as the game started, the Trail Blazers played a fast break. Xue Ding completed a throw in the three-second zone." As soon as the screen came out, Yang Rui simply The opening remarks introduced the first down that began in the third quarter.

"That's right, from the attack just now, we can see that the Blazers made tactical adjustments in the second half and deliberately played fast, but we don't know how long the Blazers can maintain this fast pace. The main thing is to worry about this Roy's knee, I don't know if he can stand this fast-paced game." Director Zhang then made a simple tactical analysis of the Blazers' first attack.

……

Director Zhang is worthy of being a professional player, and he can see the changes in the Blazers in the second half at a glance.

From the beginning of the third quarter, the Blazers did deliberately speed up the offensive rhythm of the game, which disrupted the Mavericks' deployment at this time, and Xue Ding's touch also picked up in the third quarter. In the first half of the third quarter, The Blazers once overtook the score.

However, Carlisle quickly called a timeout to delay the Blazers' offensive, and at the same time made targeted deployments for the Blazers' changes in the third quarter.

Then the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki and Kidd to perform superbly in the second half of the third quarter. The Mavericks entered the fourth quarter with a 85-75 lead after the third quarter.

The shooting percentage of the two sides picked up in the third quarter. The two teams scored more than 60 points in the third quarter. Among them, the Blazers hit 5 three-pointers in their [-]-point range.

Pritchard's arrangement at halftime played a role. Xue Ding and Batum increased their shots from beyond the three-point line, and their shooting percentage was good. When the three-point frenzy has not started in 10 years, If the personal three-point shooting percentage can reach more than 40.00%, it can be called a sharpshooter, and there are not many three-point shots in each game.

In some games, even after a game, the combined number of three-pointers made by the two teams is less than 20. It is very common for only 6 or 7 three-pointers to appear in a game.

In the third quarter of this game, the Blazers hit 5 three-pointers. In the past, as long as they defended better in this kind of game, they would basically end the third quarter ahead.

"Good job boys, although we are still behind, but our three-pointers are coming up, as long as we strengthen our defense and maintain our strength on the defensive end, this game can be won." Pritchard During the break, the team's defense was emphasized again.

In the third quarter, all the main players played about 10 minutes and 11 minutes on the court, and the substitutes only had more than one minute of playing time.

This directly caused Chandler and Blake to pant heavily during the break, and Roy held his knees a little bit when he left the court, which made Pritchard faintly worried.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pritchard did not replace the substitute, but let the main players play directly.

The Mavericks let Nowitzki, Kidd and others rest off the court, and put on a main force and four substitutes.

Before playing, Xue Ding said to Roy: "Brandon, we must play our aggressiveness from the beginning of the fourth quarter, and we cannot drag the game to the second half."

"I will, Xue, you just need to catch and shoot." Roy responded.

On the first attack at the opening of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks had the ball.

After Kidd dribbled the ball for halftime, he dribbled beyond the three-point line, and faced Blake's defense, he directly made a three-pointer.

In the past, Kidd would definitely not shoot this kind of ball, but the Mavericks now have a very leading advantage. Kidd wants to give the Blazers a blow as soon as he plays.

"Shh!"

Kidd got his wish, hit a three-pointer, and the point difference came to 13 points.

The Trail Blazers served the baseline ball, and Roy quickly advanced to the frontcourt, directly broke through and slipped into the small penalty area, and made a throw, but unfortunately he missed the hit.

Blake fought Dampier and Nowitzki for rebounds in the penalty area.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle!

The referee pointed at Blake, whistled his rebounding foul, and signaled to the technical table that Blake raised his elbow to reach Dampier when he grabbed the rebound.

See whistled for Blake's foul, Dampier walked toward the Blazers half with his head down, applauding.

Blake, who had already grabbed the rebound, saw the referee blowing his foul, and didn't argue with the referee, and directly threw the basketball on the ground to defend.

Then the Mavericks Terry scored two points in the penalty area, assists from Dirk Nowitzki.

In the next attack, Roy quickly controlled the ball across the half, and then passed the ball to Xue Ding. After Xue Ding held the ball, he wanted to break through. After Ding protected the ball, he passed it to Batum, and Batum also wanted to rush in.

It's almost a step beyond the three-point line without stopping the ball, and directly pulls, "bangs", strikes the iron.

But this time Blake successfully grabbed the rebound and scored on the second offensive basket.

But the Blazers just scored two points and retreated all the way to their own half. However, Kidd did not choose to transfer the ball in this time, and directly passed the ball to Kidd who was outside the three-point line and prepared to pick and roll. Nowitzki.

After Nowitzki got the ball, the fans at the American Airlines Center suddenly started booing, and someone shouted for Dirk to shoot a three-pointer.

Even though it was in the playoffs, Dirk smiled when he heard the crowd's request.

Then he stood outside the three-point line and shot without hesitation. Blake, who was in charge of defense, didn't react at all.
