The Mavericks' 12-man roster is confirmed.Lin Shaw, Sean Marion, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki, Haywood, Peja, Stevenson, Brewer, Brian Cardinal , Jose Barea.

The lineup is complete and the atmosphere is harmonious.Against the Blazers. On April 4, they ended their final game of the regular season. On 13, their first game of the playoffs was against the Trail Blazers, the g4.16 battle.After a day's rest, Rick Carlisle formulated a strategy for them to deal with the Trail Blazers alone. In fact, in the playoffs, most of them are competitions of will, and most of them rely on the overall strength of the players rather than tactics.Tactics, in the playoffs, everything is false.

The players returned to the team one after another. Lin Xiao took his earphones and walked into the Mavericks' locker room. Although the locker room was not as cheerful as usual, it had a different chilling atmosphere.The atmosphere is good, but they are all very serious, no usual jokes, only discussing how to cooperate.

"Okay, everyone doesn't have to be so serious. Our first opponent, everyone should know, the Portland Trail Blazers. In the regular season this season, we have lost and won against them, but in general we still have Of course we cannot underestimate the enemy, the first two games are our home games, these two games must be won, and we must win the away game, understand? Our opponents are behind, not here."

Rick Carlisle said a lot. When he lost, it was when Dirk or Caron took a rest. Generally speaking, the Mavericks were not as strong as him. It was as simple and clear as that.

The players have noon suitability training in the training hall, mostly shooting and tactical cooperation.In terms of strength, the Mavericks' hard power and soft power must surpass the Trail Blazers by a lot, otherwise the Mavericks will not be the first in the regular season.

Rick Carlisle was expressionless, but he was a little nervous. Although the Trail Blazers team was much weaker than the Mavericks, the Mavericks, as a team that was often blacked out in history, had to deal with some problems such as personnel injuries. Not to mention, the Mavericks at that time still lacked some of the temperament of a championship team. This season, they came to Tyson Chandler, Lin Xiao, Stevenson and others for iron-blooded defense. It has transformed into a team with iron-blooded defense and sharp offense.

The first round of the playoffs is about to begin. The entire United States, and even the world, are focusing on the NBA, and discussions about the playoffs can be seen everywhere.

On the evening of April 4th, the first round of the playoffs between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers is about to start. In order to show the fighting spirit of the fans in the playoffs, Ma Mavericks officially prepared a cheering T-shirt with a main color of white and a little black , On the courtside seats, there is one for each seat. If you have children, you can go to the official store outside the arena to get a small T-shirt.

Lin Xiao's chest heaved a bit, and he was very nervous. Lin Xiao was participating in the playoffs for the second time. After adjusting for a while, he recovered quickly. On the contrary, most of the other players on the team were veterans. Players, the playoffs are a competition of willpower, physical strength, and execution ability.

In this game, before the game, Rick Carlisle ordered Barea and Lin Xiao to start. This is an almost impossible lineup in the regular season.Caron Butler suffered a knee injury and was reimbursed for the season. He regretted that he could only sit on the sidelines and cheer for his teammates.

"It should be fine, don't worry about Rick." Mark Cuban communicated with Rick Carlisle on the sidelines.

"Understood, I won't worry. But the Blazers still can't be underestimated. In case of any accident, I don't want to see it. I let Lin Xiao hide his strength." Rick Carlisle nodded and said.Then there was the player's appearance ceremony. The American Airlines Center Arena was full, and every fan greeted every player of the Trail Blazers enthusiastically.

"The following is a 7-foot power forward from Germany, Dirk~~~ Nowitzki!" At that moment, the atmosphere in the American Airlines Center Arena reached its peak.Every fan stands and watches the game, which is also the tradition of the team. They will not sit down until their home team scores a goal.

Tyson Chandler gave Jose Barea a point, and Barea dribbled the ball quickly across the half. As a stocky defender, Barea has speed, strength, and even physical confrontation ability.Andre Miller is a veteran who has played in the league for many years. This year is considered to be the tail of the peak. He scored the lowest scoring average of 12.7 points per game in his rookie season, but he got 7 assists, which is not bad. As the backcourt commander of the Blazers The family is also very responsible.

Trail Blazers starting lineup pg, Andre Miller, sg Rudy - Fernandez, sf Gerald Wallace pf LaMarcus Aldridge c Marcus Camby.A big center with 4.7 points and 10 rebounds per game.

The fans cheered loudly for the home team. LaMarcus Aldridge just got a pass from Miller, and there were overwhelming boos. However, LaMarcus's low-post singles skills are still good, not to mention facing the Dirk Nowitzki and Lin Xiao quickly double-teamed and scored the ball outside. Rudy Fernance, this little friend who had played against each other in the Olympics, tried a three-pointer at the beginning, but failed to score.

Playing next to a superstar is easy. To Dirk, if there is a double-team, he will split the ball. If there is no double-team, he will play singles, and Dirk's touch is very, very good.

Turn around and hit the jumper again!LaMarcus Aldridge's long arm interfered, but it had little effect.Dirk Nowitzki still scored!That's it.

The Trail Blazers quickly counterattacked. Lin Xiao stopped Miller near the center line, and then switched defenses with Barea. Barea continued to follow Miller. Miller made a gesture. Rad Wallace does the 45 on the other side, Marcus Camby is near the lane, and LaMarcus Aldridge pulls high.Dirk Nowitzki stuck to LaMarcus Aldridge near the free throw line, but Aldridge did not choose a high single, and turned to Marcus Camby inside, and passed inside to Gera De Wallace, Gerald Wallace scored two points with a throw and hit the board.

"Old guy, let me do it." Lin Xiao asked to switch defenses, and got on the former Elvis Presley.
