"Does Miss need a blanket?" On the plane, a sweet-looking stewardess walked up to Catherine.

Catherine smiled and shook her head, then looked out the window again.

Under the clouds, the bustle of New York is getting farther and farther away from itself. The noisy sound finally disappeared. Catherine took a deep breath, and although she had worked in New York for so many years, she really didn't like the "Big Apple" city.

So now, after a series of work, Catherine is ready to be reunited with her husband again. Catherine isn't back in Portland, though, because Angel will be playing away in Dallas tonight.

Catherine knew that when she landed, Angel would most likely have just finished tonight's race. Therefore, she also told An Jie that she could go alone.

Touching her belly, which was already very upright, Catherine smiled happily. In four months, her new family will welcome a new member.

"Are you ready to be a dad? The girl with blue pupils began to talk to herself, there is nothing more worth looking forward to than seeing An Jie again......

"Defend, defend, defend......" While Catherine's plane was still halfway through, the game between the Trail Blazers and Mavericks was in full swing.

At this time, Lillard was sweating profusely and controlling the basketball. Unlike the easy wins in the previous two games in Portland, today, after returning to the home court, Monta Ellis finally ushered in a long-awaited outburst.

His offense made Lillard so hard to defend that Lillard couldn't contain Ellis' scoring momentum after exerting more physical energy than usual.

When a person is open on the offensive end, his performance on the defensive end will also be driven. Ellis is now in this virtuous circle, and Lillard was forced by Ellis as soon as he stepped into the half.

Collisions, ball protection, sweat on the ground, yelling from teammates. All of this made Lillard feel like his mind was in a mess. In the moment when he lost his attention, Monta Ellis reached out his arm and successfully poked the basketball away!

"Steal, Monta Ellis's steal! He took possession, Ellis went fast! Flying dunk! Beautiful defense and offense, Ellis officially put the Mavericks ahead of the score!" Mike Brin's passionate commentary added a lot of tension to the game, and the blue sea in the stands of the American Airlines Center Stadium set off huge waves. The fans in Dallas were screaming wildly, and the team's performance made the fans breathe a bad breath.

Before the game, no one could have imagined that the Mavericks, who had lost two games in a row in Portland, could play like this. 108-109, with Ellis stealing and dunking, the Mavericks officially took the lead at a critical moment!

How critical is this moment? Quite simply, can't a lead with only 40 seconds left in the race still be called critical?

Monta Ellis roared in the sky after scoring and received a standing ovation from the Dallas fans for the first time.

Vince Carter stepped forward to give the unruly brat a high-five, as he seemed to forget that he had been the one who had reprimanded Ellis the most in the previous two games.

An Jie looked at Ricard, and Ricard waved at An Jie impatiently. This means that Riccard is not going to call a timeout, he wants to save this last timeout until the real final moments.

"Let's go, let's attack!" Anjie yelled, conveying Ricard's meaning. This crucial goal will be played by Anjie himself!

Lillard didn't dare to let the basketball stay in his hands for more now, and just stepped on the Mavericks logo in the center of the court, Lillard threw the ball directly and passed the ball to Iguodala, who stepped forward to answer.

In the face of Vince Carter, Iguodala did not dare to relax too much. Although the guy in front of him even had a gray beard, his hard work was no less than that of any young man present.

Iguodala dribbled cautiously, while Angel struggled with Daimpoter's fateful struggle.

Durham Potter also showed the determination to fight to the death today, and he has been sparing no effort to fight with Anjie, completely leaving his health and age behind.

An Jie had no choice but to push hard with his butt to make Daim Potter leave him a little distance. There is no saying that the old and love the young are respected on the basketball court, as long as they can win, An Jie must use any means. Even if the person opposite him is a veteran!

Iguodala Octavia's experience allowed him to see Anjie's vital moves, and he immediately lobbed the ball into the box. Dareham Porter didn't dare to rush forward to intercept, he was afraid that Anjie would take advantage of his center of gravity to move forward to complete the turn.

In this way, Dalem Porter chose the most difficult way to defend, and that is to go head-to-head with Anjie!

Anjie didn't give Daleam Potter a chance to breathe, and as soon as he received the ball, Anjie immediately leaned back.

This time, not only did it make Daimpoter's chest feel stuffy, but it also knocked Daimpoter to the ground directly!

The Dallas fans erupted in loud boos who thought it was an offensive foul. However, the referee was standing next to Anjie and Daim Potter just now, and he could see it clearly, this was a reasonable collision!

Bowler fell to the ground in embarrassment, and Anjie jumped hard and completed the dunk in Bowler's desperate eyes.

After the basketball was dunked, Dalem Porter, who was lying under the basket, subconsciously covered his face with his hands. Because the falling basketball would definitely hit him in the face, but after a few seconds, Daimpoter didn't feel anything.

When he opened his eyes again, Dareham Potter found that Anjie was holding the fallen basketball in one hand and gently lowering it on the floor. That's right, after Anjie successfully dunked, he caught the falling basketball with his other hand. He won't show mercy to anyone on the basketball court, but that doesn't mean Anjie needs to hurt the other party in this way.

An Jie scored a dunk and also scored his 30th point in the game. 110-109, the Mavericks, who were playing at home, became the underdog again.

Mavericks fans didn't give up, they got more excited. With 25 seconds, the Mavericks have plenty of time to kill!Monta Ellis, this guy's good form has filled Mavericks fans with confidence.

Rick Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout, and the offense was the Mavericks' last chance. Not the last chance of this game, but the last chance of the entire series.

If this game is lost, the series aggregate score will become 3-0. What does 3-0 mean, it means the Mavericks are out of the game!

Therefore, this attack, the Mavericks must grasp it. Sure enough, Monta Ellis was Carlisle's last choice, and although this team is still Dirk's team, Ellis is already the Mavericks' best scorer.

When the suspension ended, the entire U.S. Route Center stadium was boiling. So far in the series, this is the most exciting game for the Mavericks.

Nowitzki stood on the sidelines, and he will be the serve for the Mavericks' final attack later. Monta Ellis was surrounded by three people, and Ricard had no intention of letting Ellis receive the ball!

The referee's whistle blew, and Ellis jerked in to break through the wall. But Matthews and Lillard just didn't leave an inch, and after three seconds, Ellis still couldn't get rid of the entanglement!

Seeing that the service was about to be violated in the service time, Nowitzki had to pass the ball to veteran Spanish defender Jose Calderón first.

Calderón is experienced, but he is by no means a lore. But despite this, Lillard had to hurry to seal it. After all, Rickard didn't want to be planted on the least dangerous.

Monta Ellis finally got out of the grip and quickly ran to the three-point line to get ready to respond. Lillard waved his arms in front of Jose Calderón and did his best to disrupt the Spanish defender's passing vision.

Calderon took a cautious dribble before passing. Matthews stretched out his long arm and rubbed the basketball, but the basketball eventually flew into Ellis's hands.

Taking advantage of the moment when Matthews' center of gravity moved forward to steal, Ellis held the ball and broke through directly!

At this point, everyone was pulled outside the three-point line, and Ellis's breakthrough went all the way. Of course, except for one who guards the basket under the basket Angelis must find a way to solve it.

Ellis wasn't the kind of guy who was afraid of the strong. Sometimes, it becomes his strength, but sometimes, that's why he's not succeeding!

Courage is called courage only when it occurs at the right time, and it is called recklessness when it appears at the wrong time.

Ellis suddenly threw in the face of Angel, if his throw was as fast as Parker and Curry, but he couldn't really score this ball. It's a pity that Ellis's shooting speed is too ordinary in An Jie's opinion.

The calf muscles were tense, An Jie calculated the timing, his whole person rose high, his arm was strong, and he flew the basketball fan directly outside the three-point line!

"Volleyball cap! Ellis missed!" exclaimed in the commentary area, but the game wasn't over yet.

The basketball flew to the three-point line, but this time it was no longer Iguodala or Lillard who received the basketball, but the forgotten Vince Carter!

After Carter received the ball, time was running out. Iguodala lunged at the old guy in horror, and Carter looked at the timer and at his feet. How long has it been since you shot this kind of ball?

Carter jumped slightly, UFOs were not as capable of jumping as they used to be. The way he shoots now can't be called a jumper, it's a flip shot.

In addition to dunks, one of Carter's most powerful points that year was his three-point shot. Will his three points change the game this time?

Iguodala sealed, but Carter's basketball was already on the move. The timer goes to zero and the rebound red light goes off. Anjie looks at the basketball, ready to accept the verdict of fate.

When Catherine got off the plane, she found that it was raining heavily in Dallas. Also, it's early summer, and in summer, the rainfall is always the heaviest.

Maybe the rain will stop in a moment, right?" Thinking of this, Catherine found an empty seat in the airport hall and sat down. During this time, several people came to Catherine for autographs, but overall, she was not disturbed too much by wearing a cap and sunglasses.

Bored, Catherine turned on her phone and watched the NBA news. What happened to Anjie's game? Catherine was eager to know the result.

Entering the official website of the NBA, the front page headline, a photo of Carter covering his face and crying bitterly appeared.

Vince Carter burst into tears!"

"The sorrow of the veteran, the fallen demigod. ”

At 110-109, Carter missed, and the series total score became 3-0, and the Mavericks' exit was a foregone conclusion. ”

In this piece of news, the person who was mentioned the most was not An Jie, not Ellis, but Carter, who was unwilling to shed tears.

Now Carter has to accept the fact that he really has no ability to change the situation of the game.

"Do you need an umbrella, Miss?" Just as Catherine lamented Carter's aging and rejoiced at Anjie's victory, an umbrella was suddenly handed to Catherine.

Catherine looked up and saw that it was Anjie.

The two did not speak, but suddenly hugged each other. An Jie changed his clothes after the game and left in a hurry, and he didn't go to the press conference. And he was in such a hurry just to be able to pick up Catherine.

"Why are you here?" Catherine happily buried her head in Anjie's strong chest.

"I'll be there for you whenever you need shelter from the rain. "Anjie kissed Catherine on the forehead, the victory of the game, the reunion with his wife......

Tonight, it's a wonderful rainy night in Dallas.
