The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 362 The Mavericks Speed ​​Up!
"Jose played the ball very smartly. He didn't go all the way to the end. Instead, he chose to throw the ball ahead of time before Oden came up!" Reggie Miller, an on-site commentator, said.

"That's right, after all, his height protrudes to the inside and is easily blocked!" Barkley echoed.

While they were talking, Miller quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, facing the defense, Barea signaled others to pull away.

Although Barea is fast.

But on the defensive end his height is flawed.

Miller suddenly accelerated and rushed in with the ball. Obviously, the Mavericks also knew that Barea couldn't defend Miller, and the help defense also came up when Miller broke through.

But Miller didn't dive headlong into the paint.

After taking two steps in, he suddenly stopped and jumped, and threw the ball over Barea's head.

Although Barea has tried his best to jump up and interfere with Miller's shooting, but his height is too disadvantageous, and his defense has no way to interfere with Miller's shot.

"Shh!"

Basketball hits the net!

"There's nothing we can do about this ball. To be honest, Miller is a bit of a bully. The difference in height between the two is too big. Although the old Miller is no longer at the peak, Barea really can't guard against this!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui laughed. said.

"It does mean a bit of bullying, but in fact, basketball itself is a game of bullying. The tall bully the short, the strong bully the thin, and the fast bully the slow. There is no way, this is the playoffs , all of them are beaten to death when they catch a weak point!" Director Zhang also laughed twice and continued.

After the Mavericks played Barea, the pace of the game on the court was obviously much faster than before.

On the contrary, the speed of the Trail Blazers' second lineup has slowed down a little bit. After all, Howard and Chandler in the inside are not very good at running and jumping.

So when Barea picked up the speed, the Blazers were a little out of tune.

After the Mavericks sent the ball from the bottom line, Barea pushed the ball forward at full speed, although Miller, Fernandez and Webster had already retreated in time.

But Chandler and Howard are clearly out of step.

The Mavericks seized the opportunity to play more and less locally. In the end, the Blazers' defense lost sight of the other. Gooden received a pass from Barea under the basket and easily scored two points.

"After the Mavericks came into rotation, the rhythm of the Mavericks is completely different from before. Their speed has increased, but the Blazers can't keep up with the rhythm of the Mavericks!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"You're right, because Chandler and Howard in the Trail Blazers' second team moved a bit slowly, and the Mavericks' sudden speed up caught them off guard!" Director Zhang said.

The situation on the field suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Miller's several strong attacks on Barea were all resolved by the Mavericks' timely defense.

Coupled with their fast defensive rotation, the Blazers' offense was a little uncomfortable.

Although the Trail Blazers have the height advantage of Chandler and Howard in the interior, they actually don't have many offensive methods at the basket.

So the advantage of the inside line is not as great as it seems!
The Blazers' offense suddenly seemed to be contained, and they missed several consecutive offenses.

But in turn, the Mavericks took advantage of their speed to counterattack consecutively. In a blink of an eye, the Mavericks had overtaken the score.

"Beep!"

At the moment when the score was overtaken, Pritchard immediately called a timeout!

"In the second quarter, I felt that the Blazers were being treated in their own way. In the first quarter, the Blazers used the advantage of the speed of the small lineup to make the Mavericks have nothing to do with them, but in the second quarter In the first quarter, the Mavericks used their methods to teach their second team a hard lesson, this game is interesting!" Ke Fan, the commentator of the Sina live broadcast room, said with a smile.

"You're right. In the blink of an eye, the lead of four points is gone, and it was overtaken by two points. I actually think that Pritchard's call for a timeout is a bit late. He should attack on his own side. When the first counterattack is hit by someone, it is called a timeout!" said the guest commentator, Mr. Ma.

"Mr. Ma is right. This timeout seems to be called a bit late, because the score has already been overtaken at this time! Then, Mr. Ma, how do you think the Blazers will adjust next?"

"I think Xue Ding should be allowed to play early at this time. After all, Roy is injured and retired, they can only rely on Xue Ding, and they need Xue Ding to stay on the court for more time!"

The screen returns to the game scene, the timeout ends, and the game continues.

Sure enough, the Blazers brought Xue Ding and Oden up after the timeout, and at the same time let Outlaw play to replace Howard, but Pritchard still let Batum and Miller take a little rest off the court.

After all, neither Batum nor Miller had much rest.

On the court, Xue Ding returned to the position of point guard on the offensive end, and partnered with the Spaniard Fernandez in the backcourt.

"This time Pritchard's substitutions are also very bold. He still put on a small lineup in this situation. Obviously they want to compete with the Mavericks for speed. The rhythm on the field should be very fast in the future!" Ma The teacher said after seeing Pritchard's substitution after the timeout.

"This is indeed a very bold substitution. Three people were changed at once! Let's see how it works?" Ke Fan echoed.

The Blazers attacked, Xue Ding held the ball at the top of the arc to organize the offense, and his teammates on the court also kept running on the court.

However, the Mavericks' defensive rotation was also very fast, and did not give the Blazers any chance.

The ball circled around the perimeter and returned to Xue Ding's hands, and Marion defended him.

After Xue Ding lowered his center of gravity and changed direction continuously, he suddenly took a cross step and accelerated towards the basket. However, Marion's speed was very fast, and he was not thrown away by Xue Ding, and he followed closely.

Breaking into the basket, at the same time Drew Gooden has also helped defend.

The Mavericks didn't give Xue Ding room to shoot. At this moment, Xue Ding saw Outlaw, who made an air cut, pass the ball from the corner of his eye.

Outlaw took the ball and went straight to the layup.

"Snapped!"

The moment he took the ball and started, he suddenly felt empty in his hand!Barea made a sudden strike and cut the ball directly from Outlaw's hand.

Barea took the ball and counterattacked quickly!
But this time the Blazers' retreat did not give him a chance to rush to the basket for an easy layup, and soon Fernandez and Webster had already retreated back.

But this time Barea did not choose to break through the basket, but stopped suddenly outside the three-point line.

When Fernandez realized that the situation was not good and wanted to pounce, it was too late. Barea made an emergency stop outside the three-point line and shot the ball steadily.
