The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 359 Countering the Storm
"Hey! Xue Ding and Batum switched defenses, and Xue Ding faced Nowitzki! This should have been requested by Xue Ding himself just now. Xue Ding discussed with Pritchard just now during the free throw. Then I said a few words to Batum to see how Xue Dingfang works!"

Director Zhang said in surprise after seeing Xue Ding guarding Nowitzki on the defensive end, apparently they did not expect that Xue Ding was willing to take over the difficult task of marking Nowitzki at this time.

"Although Xue Ding's strength may be stronger than Batum's, his height is seven or eight centimeters shorter than Batum's. Marking Nowitzki is not an easy task for him! "The commentator Yang Rui said.

Nowitzki is the absolute strength of the Mavericks on the field. Obviously, Nowitzki did not take Xue Ding seriously.

He called for a 45-degree angle on the right, and Kidd passed the ball over.

The Mavericks started with Nowitzki four times in a row to end the offense.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Nowitzki began to carry his back, but he didn't expect Xue Ding's foot to be so stable, and he barely moved after carrying it twice.

Nowitzki then turned and shot backwards.

It's his signature move again!

The golden rooster is independent!

"Shh!"

Although Xue Ding gave enough physical confrontation this time, which made Nowitzki feel a little uncomfortable, but the soft touch of the historical level still allowed him to throw the ball steadily.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc in the air!

Hollow into the network!

"Oh, he scored again! Dirk was in great form today. He personally scored all the points for the Mavericks in the first quarter. Although Xue Ding's defense gave him a lot of confrontation this time, he was still steady. Score the ball!" commentator Reggie Miller said while shaking his head with a smile.

"It's true that Dirk was on full fire from the very beginning of the game, and it seems that changing Xue to defend him has no effect!" Barkley said.

Although it seemed to outsiders that Nowitzki scored easily, only Nowitzki knew in his heart that the goal was not easy.

He also put away his contempt for Xue Ding in his heart!

"Nowitzki is in great form today. In the past two minutes or so, he hit all four shots and scored eight points alone. Nowitzki feels like he can't stop him!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"That's right, Dirk Nowitzki feels so good today, the Blazers have nothing to do with him!"

"I think the Blazers should change their defensive strategy. They can't let him continue playing like this. It's time to double-team the defense!" Director Zhang said.

"Shh!"

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Batum came back and received a pass from Miller, counterattacked and shot a three-pointer directly. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and passed through the net!

"Pretty!"

The teammates sitting off the field also stood up excitedly and broke out bursts of cheers.

Xue Ding and Miller also came up to give him a high-five to celebrate, and then quickly retreated to the backcourt to prepare for defense. The Mavericks attacked!

Kidd still lowered the tempo on the court.

Obviously, as an experienced point guard, Kidd certainly knows that he can't follow the pace of the Blazers at this time.

He steadily dribbled the ball across the half court, constantly adjusted his position, and observed the defense on the field.

Haywood came up and made a screen for him, and Kidd used the screen to make a direct three-point shot from outside the three-point line!

"Bang!"

The basketball bounces out of the frame!

Oden still consciously helped Xue Ding get stuck, Xue Ding rushed in, jumped high and took the rebound.

The counterattack has begun!

Xue Ding took the rebound and stepped on the accelerator, holding the ball and rushing forward at full speed.

The Mavericks are fast too!
Xue Ding raced in a straight line along the way, overtaking Kidd and Butler in a row, and rushed to the basket to defend Marion.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Roy rushing in from the right.

Xue Ding was not greedy for merit, and with a light flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Roy who was following up. Roy caught the ball and scored a layup with ease, scoring two points!

"Too fast! The Blazers' counterattack was too fast. Although the Mavericks retreated fast enough, they still couldn't stop their counterattack!" On-site commentator Reggie Miller said.

"The main reason is that Xue's advancing speed is too fast, and the rest of the Mavericks can't keep up with his speed, not to mention that he can pass the ball, which is amazing!" Barkley said a little excitedly.

"Snapped!"

Xue Ding and Roy clapped hands to celebrate, and then quickly returned to defense!
"defence, defense"

At this time, the fans of the Rose Garden players were completely ignited, and there were continuous cheers and cheers on the scene.

When the Mavericks were attacking, the audience shouted for defense in unison, and the sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the Rose Garden Arena.

"With the completion of these two counterattacks, the atmosphere on the scene has also risen. The Blazers already have a great advantage in momentum. It depends on whether the Mavericks can score in this attack!" CCTV commentary Yang Rui said.

"That's right, the atmosphere at their home court is really good now, and all the audience is excited. This is also an invisible pressure on the Mavericks!" Director Zhang watched as the ball was slowly dribbling across the court. Kidd said at halftime.

Kidd held the ball at the top of the arc, facing Miller's defense, he suddenly accelerated and rushed in.

Miller wanted to follow up quickly, but was blocked by Nowitzki who came up to cover Kidd. Miller squeezed through the cover and chased desperately.

Meanwhile Nowitzki unpacks to the free-throw line.

Kidd also immediately passed the ball in the past.

At this moment, Kidd suddenly felt a figure flash in front of him!
"Snapped!"

Kidd was about to remind him, but it was too late, Xue Ding rushed out, broke the ball with a palm, and then rushed forward at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Ding had rushed to the frontcourt!
At this time, no one can catch up with Xue Ding.

"Dump Tianzun (lv7)"

Xue Ding took off from inside the free throw line and staged a gliding dunk!
"Whoa heh Xue did a gliding dunk!!! It's amazing!!!"

The DJ on the scene shouted passionately, and then the fans on the scene also burst into cheers like mountains and straits.

"Sue, Xue, Xue"

All the fans shouted Xue Ding's name in unison.

At this time, Xue Ding was also completely hilarious. After landing, he raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, then turned around and stepped on the overlord step, staring fiercely at the somewhat helpless Nowitzki.

"Beep!"

Mavericks coach Carlisle finally couldn't help calling a timeout and stopped the game!

"The Blazers' bold change of formation seems to be successful now. The Mavericks can't keep up with the Blazers' counterattack rhythm!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"Indeed, the counterattack ability of this lineup is too strong. Except for the old Miller, every player on the court is full of talent and can run and jump. This has a huge impact on the Mavericks' defense. The Blazers will not let them down at all. The opportunity to defend the position has already completed the attack!" Director Zhang analyzed during the timeout.
