The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 329 Golden Rooster Independence
"Hey, I said this too early. It feels like Carlisle heard me say that he won't call a timeout, so he immediately called a timeout to hit me in the face!" Seeing that Carlisle called a timeout as soon as he finished speaking Director Zhang said with a smile in order to resolve the embarrassment.

"This also proves that the Mavericks are very cautious today. After all, they are still behind. Once the score is further stretched, the Blazers will really take away two victories in the away game!" Yang Rui also said with a smile.

Although Director Zhang was slapped in the face as soon as he said it, Yang Rui still respects Director Zhang as a senior in the commentary world.

"Nice job!"

When Xue Ding and the others returned to the sidelines, their teammates stood up excitedly and gave them high fives to celebrate.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Xue Ding, the Blazers took the lead and scored five points in a row to further expand the score.

Now they have a good chance to take away two games in Dallas.

"Persevere, we can come back to Portland with two wins, come on!"

Pritchard, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, was also shouting excitedly at his players, constantly encouraging Xue Ding and others.

This game is like a duck for the Blazers, as long as they stay focused, they can finish the fourth quarter of the game.

Then the duck can't fly.

At this point in the game, everyone has only one thought in their minds, which is to win the game, so that they will return to Portland with a huge 2-0 advantage.

If you get the duck, you must not let him fly.

This was the only thought in Xue Ding's mind at this time.

And the Mavericks obviously don't intend to just give up the victory of this game to the Trail Blazers so easily.

This time the Dallas Mavericks have experienced too many setbacks.

In 06, with a 2-0 lead in the finals, Wade and the old Sharks, who were already on the decline, won four games in a row, taking away the O'Brien Cup they thought they had already obtained.

After this year's failure, the Dallas Mavericks made a comeback in 07. The Mavericks became the league's No. 67 team with a record of 15 wins and [-] losses. Dirk Nowitzki also won the regular season MVP.

But in the playoffs they met the Golden State Warriors led by Nelson.

In the first round of the playoffs in 07, the Mavericks with the league's best record in the regular season were led by Nelson Sr. to the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.

After the game, Nowitzki, the core leader of the team, smashed a hole in the wall angrily in the locker room.

Although the team is still behind, but the face of all the Mavericks showed their desire for victory and strong fighting spirit.

They also know what it means to lose two home games in a row in the playoffs.

"I believe that I don't need to say anything, you also know that we must win this game. We believe that you will never go through the pain and shame you have experienced in the past. Show your attitude and win This match!"

Carlisle did not continue to arrange any tactics at this time. He knew that these people in front of him were no rookies, and they already knew the tactics on the field.

And with a brain like Kidd on the court, there is no need to worry about the team's offense at all.

Soon the timeout was over and the game continued.

This time Carlisle fought hard.

He took all the main force up.

"The Mavericks brought up all the main players after the timeout. Obviously, the Mavericks don't want to give up the game like this. They want to defend their home court with all their strength!" commentator Yang Rui said after seeing Nowitzki and other main players on the field.

"You are right. Although the Mavericks are behind, they are very determined for this game. Next, they will try their best to defend their home court. Although the Trail Blazers still maintain the lead, they must fight. Come with a [-]-point spirit, otherwise the Mavericks in the last game will be today's." Director Zhang analyzed seriously.

Pritchard did not replace all the main players so early. Obviously he wanted the main players to rest off the court for a while.

After all, they still have a lead of more than ten points.

He has such capital that he can let his main player rest for an extra minute or two off the court.

Kidd quickly pushed the ball into the frontcourt with the ball, and Nowitzki leaned against Chandler with his back at a 45-degree angle on the left.

The rest of the Mavericks also quickly opened up the space.

Kidd lobs the ball into Nowitzki's hands.

Although Xue Ding quickly double-teamed Nowitzki the moment he received the ball, it was still a step too late.

Nowitzki catches the ball and turns.

The golden rooster is independent!

Shot!

There was no hesitation at all.

Xue Ding didn't have time to double-team him.

After Nowitzki shot, the ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and entered the net with a "swish".

"Golden rooster independence, Nuo Tianwang's signature move, although Chandler's has been quickly blocked, but it can't interfere with his shooting at all. His move is really unsolvable!" said the commentator Yang Rui.

"That's right, look at Nowitzki, who is tall and big, who can get it when he turns around and leans back to the golden rooster to be independent. This is his strength. Although Xue Ding has already started to double-team, it is still a step too late! "Director Zhang said.

"It's true. A star like Dirk Nowitzki can't let him receive the ball so comfortably in this position!"

"That's right, the Blazers have to double-team in advance, and it is possible to limit him if he is not allowed to catch the ball comfortably!"

Nowitzki made this iconic shot, expressionless, and quickly ran back to the backcourt.

His long golden hair fluttered in the wind.

The fans in the American Airlines Center Arena, which had been silent for a long time, once again sounded like a thunderstorm.

"defence, defense"

The Blazers attacked, and Chandler sent the ball to Xue Ding from the baseline.

Xue Ding was not in a hurry to hold the ball, after all they were the leading side, he slowly dribbled the ball across the half.

Just after halftime, Marion, the outside defensive gate of the Mavericks, stuck up tightly. At the same time, Butler on one side was also eyeing Xue Ding, ready to double-team at any time.

Xue Ding shook Marion continuously, but he couldn't get rid of Marion.

Suddenly, an accelerated ball rushed in from the left, and Butler's double-team came very quickly.

Xue Ding gave the ball away, and Fernandez, who was open in the bottom corner, received Xue Ding's pass without hesitation and directly shot a three-pointer.

But unfortunately, this time it failed to hit.

After the basketball drew an arc in the air, it bounced out of the frame.

This time Haywood fought desperately with Oden at the basket and won the rebound.

After getting the ball, Haywood was not in a hurry, and handed the ball to Kidd steadily.
