The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 341 Attack Misfiring
"The second half of the match between the two sides has already begun. As soon as the Mavericks came up, they relied on Butler's mid-range shot to score first and regained a two-point lead!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"It can be seen in the second half that the Mavericks did not relax. They still maintained their focus on the court. Butler didn't play very well in the first half and only scored two points. But once he opened up the offensive end in the second half If not, the Trail Blazers will be in danger!" Director Zhang suddenly became worried when he saw Caron Butler who had just hit a pull-up jump shot.

Although the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks drew in the first half, it was because Nowitzki played well in the first half, but the rest of the Mavericks didn't play much.

In the second half, once Butler also starts to find his offensive state, the Blazers will become exhausted on the defensive end.

"Bang!"

While Director Zhang was speaking, Batum used the screen to get an almost open three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Unfortunately, he failed to seize this opportunity.

After the basketball drew an arc in the air, it hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Haywood protected the rebound.

"It's okay, quickly retreat, retreat!"

Pritchard loudly reminded the players on the sidelines to retreat, but despite this, the Blazers retreated a step slower.

The moment Kidd took the ball, he made a long pass and sent the ball to Marion just right.

Marion took the ball and took three steps directly!

Easy dunk!

"As soon as the second half came up, the Mavericks scored four points in a row, opening the point difference to four points. The Blazers seemed a little distracted at the beginning of the second half!" said on-site commentator Dell Curry.

"You are right. The Mavericks showed a very strong desire to win at the beginning of the second half, while the Blazers seemed to be a little out of shape. The pace of retreating was too slow, giving the Mavericks too many opportunities!" Michael Joe Said.

In the blink of an eye, the point difference was opened to four points, and Pritchard frowned on the sidelines, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field just now.

Xue Ding quickly dribbled the ball across half court.

Facing Kidd's defense, he accelerated to the inside and Haywood assisted in the defense.

Xue Ding found a gap in the air and passed the ball to Chandler who was open under the basket, but Chandler slipped his hand and let the ball fly directly out of the baseline.

The ball goes out of bounds, the ball is exchanged.

"At the beginning of the second half, everyone in the Blazers felt a little out of shape, and it could even be said that they were a little lost. If Chandler caught the ball, it would basically be two points, but he didn't catch it! It's done!" Dell Curry said.

"Indeed, the performance just now in the second half seemed as if everyone in the Blazers suddenly couldn't play, and they would be in danger if this continues!" Michael Joe said.

Director Zhang in the CCTV studio here also became a little anxious for the Blazers.

"What happened at halftime? Why does it feel like they suddenly became very confused? If this continues, the point difference will be widened soon!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said looking at the situation on the field.

"You're right. If this continues, the Blazers' game will be suspended. The Mavericks' sudden change of pace in the second half made the Blazers feel a little uncomfortable. I hope they can adapt as soon as possible, otherwise the point difference will be widened again. This game feels like I have to explain it!" Director Zhang nodded and looked at the frustrated Trail Blazers players on the big screen and said.

"I feel like this is a bit too much of a blow to the morale of the Blazers. Looking at their expressions, they seem to be a little frustrated!"

"That's right, the Blazers must have someone to stand up and score at this time!"

"They must start with defense, and they must never let the Mavericks score so easily!"

As soon as Director Zhang’s voice fell, Nowitzki made a shot from outside the three-point line, and the basketball bounced out of the hoop, but Haywood grabbed an offensive rebound from the basket, and Chandler fouled Chandler due to a strong rise from the basket.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Heywood made two free throws.

Chandler served from the bottom line, Xue Ding received the ball and counterattacked at full speed.

The Mavericks were obviously well prepared and retreated in a timely manner, not giving Xue Ding a chance to fight back.

Xue Ding gave the ball to Roy, who was following up. Roy caught the ball and put his bow and arrow outside the three-point line, and shot directly without hesitation!

"Three points!!!"

"Yes! Hey, what a pity, the ball went in and it bounced out. The ball is still a little bit out of luck!"

The basketball circled inside the hoop, and finally came out of the basket.

"It's such a pity that the ball was already halfway in and bounced out. What a pity!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui felt a little pity for Roy.

"This ball is really a pity, luck is a little bit worse!"

Just when Roy and others felt a little annoyed, Heywood quickly sent the ball out from the bottom line.

Kidd quickly advanced forward with the ball, and the Blazers retreated quickly without giving them a chance to counterattack.

Just when everyone thought that Kidd was about to settle down and play positional battles, suddenly he passed the ball without looking at anyone, and the basketball brushed Xue Ding's ear and passed directly to the basket.

Butler, who rushed to the basket, caught the ball and made an easy layup.

The whistle goes in!

While scoring, it also caused a thug foul by Batum, who came up from the supplementary defense.

Butler walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw.

7 is better than 0!

TNT also typed a line on the screen, saying that in the past 2 minutes, the Blazers were beaten to a [-]-[-] spurt at home.

"It feels like the Trail Blazers encountered the same scoring shortage at the beginning of the first quarter in the third quarter, and let the Mavericks play a 7-0 spurt. The point difference between the two sides has also reached 7 points!" Yang Rui said looking at the score on the court. .

"That's right, the Mavericks seized this opportunity and opened up the point difference to seven points in a blink of an eye. The Trail Blazers must get back to their form as soon as possible, otherwise the point difference will continue to expand, and it will be too difficult for them to reverse the situation." !” Director Zhang said.

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Roy played a pick-and-roll between Marion's marking and Xue Ding.

Holding the ball and rushing in quickly, the Mavericks double-team quickly rushed up, and Roy immediately gave the ball to Xue Ding, who was three points away from the left.

The Mavericks' defense switched positions quickly.

The moment Xue Ding caught the ball, Marion immediately stood in front of him.

There was an open space for Batum in the bottom corner, Xue Ding passed the ball without hesitation, Batum hesitated.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Butler immediately stood in front of him.

The moment Xue Ding passed the ball, he accelerated and cut inside. Batum also immediately passed the ball to Xue Ding. Xue Ding caught the ball and went straight to the basket.

The three of them jumped up and tried to block Xue Ding's layup.

"Assist master (lv2)"

From the corner of Xue Ding's eyes, he saw Roy who was following up and passed the ball from behind. Roy caught the ball and made a light low-handed layup to score the ball steadily.
