That evening, TNT took stock of the four games that had ended and looked forward to the rest of the games.

In the past four games, except for the Mavericks beating the Trail Blazers and the Spurs beating the Suns.

The remaining two games in the East.

The Bucks blossomed more, and six players scored double-doubles to beat the Magic.

The Magic had only two players in double figures, with Maddy scoring a team-high 33 points and nine rebounds and eight assists, but he hit just 12 of 34 shots.

Like his cousin Carter, his playoff journey got off to a rocky start.

The other game was an upset, with the Hornets beating the Heat by 26 points.

Mourning returned in the playoffs with 14 points and 3 rebounds, but Pat Riley's superteam was vulnerable in the playoffs.

Buckley: They joked as much as they could, "God Operator".

However, the somewhat unusual thing is that no matter what Kenny Smith said about the Mavericks' performance, Barkley changed the subject or said a word.

It's obvious that even the great Lord Ba realized that he was a bit at odds with the Mavericks and avoided talking about it.

That night, the NBA playoffs resumed.

The eight teams that participated in the opening match on the first day continued to fight each other.

As a result, it turned out that it was not Barkley and Sun Hao who clashed against each other, but purely Buckley was poisonous.

The 76ers defeated the Pacers 116-98 in Game 2.

Iverson scored 45 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists after a slump.

Barkley felt his face buzz even from the punch.

At this pace, Barkley, the person who was slapped in the face, is afraid that he will be hammered.

The next day, the Mavericks also continued to play against the Trail Blazers at home.

The Mavericks made adjustments to the starting lineup for this game, and Nelson Sr. put Bradley in the starting lineup and put Uncle Huo on the bench.

Such an adjustment was to summarize the last game and strengthen the team's interior protection, but the result was caught by the Trail Blazers.

The game went into the Trail Blazers' favorite positional battle, and the Mavericks didn't mention it this time when they wanted to speed up again.

And Pippen is really old and strong this time, contributing 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The Trail Blazers eventually defeated the Mavericks 103-92 and tied the series at 1-1.

In this case, experience prevailed.

The Trail Blazers, this game also proved that the skinny camels are bigger than the horses, and they are indeed the hardest team to play in the bottom half.

And this is the playoffs, the adjustment of each game, the adjustment between the game, will bring about earth-shaking changes.

Especially in the West, this year's close strength between the teams is more likely.

In TNT's "NBA Insider" that night, Barkley, who had been holding back for two days, was finally released at one time.

"Kenny, you know there are always some surprises in NBA games, but that doesn't affect the final result."

At the remark of the Mavericks vs. Trail Blazers game, Barkley felt like he was doing it again.

"Charles, that's not what you said two days ago."

Smith didn't forget to remind his golden partner.

"Did I say anything two days ago? I didn't say anything! ”

When Barkley said this, Smith was stunned for a moment, and he realized that his partner was an old yin!

"The Mavericks won the first game by a few points, they only won by one goal, but they lost by 12 points in the last game."

Barkley's analysis once again got Johnson and Smith nodding.

Actually, Barkley really knows how to play!

"You can win with some luck, but you can't win the next series, man, the playoffs are tough.

Again, it's impossible for a jumper to win a championship or win a playoff round. ”

Barkley said firmly.

He's still the same boy he used to be.

Even after being slapped in the face many times, he still believes that what he said will be right.

Barkley's remarks once again sparked heated discussions among fans on the forum.

Compared to his career, his commentary career is more rich and exciting.

After a two-day break, the Mavericks enclave of Portland is ready to draw Game 3 against the Trail Blazers.

This game is crucial.

Because of the current NBA playoff format, the first round adopts a best-of-5 system.

This also means that after the two sides are tied, the third game of the first round is the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The winning team will receive the match point for the end of the series.

Nelson Sr. made a change back to the starting lineup before the game.

The passivity of the last game made him realize a truth.

The style of play must correspond to the team configuration.

It's like letting OK go to the bombardment, and the final effect will definitely not be too good.

If the Mavericks want to win the series, they still have to rely on what they are best at.

That night, the Moda Center was packed.

Interestingly, there were a lot of strange slogans on the signs held up by the fans at the scene.

"Charles Barkley, you're right!"

"Next stop, San Antonio!"

"Our lineup is the same as last year!"

"Defeat Los Angeles!"

……

A clear signal, perhaps a big win in the second game, or maybe Barkley's remarks, Portland fans showed a lot of confidence.

During the pre-game warm-up, Sun Hao was also interviewed by reporters in Portland.

Like in Dallas before, the reporters in Portland went on to make trouble three times in a row.

"Did the loss in the last game put a lot of stress on you?"

"No, that gives us motivation, the Trail Blazers are good, and beating a great move is a motivating thing."

Sun Hao's "Emotional Intelligence" has been completed, and the answer is not leaky.

"Barkley said the Mavericks will eventually be eliminated, what do you think?"

"He said before the season that the Trail Blazers would be second in the West, and Mr. Mark Cuban said that before anything was over, it would be hooliganism to say what was going to happen."

Courtside Cuban: Beautiful!

The reporter felt that he was a little defeated, and he decided to make a big move.

"Barkley seems to be biased against the Mavericks, do you think that will affect the Mavericks?"

This is an absolute trap question, because when it asked, it already assumed the fact that "Barkley is biased against the Mavericks", and even if Sun Hao answered no, it was equivalent to jumping in.

"No, I love Charles!"

However, Sun Hao's answer once again surprised the reporter.

He took a direct detour!

"I don't understand."

The reporter wanted to pull Sun Hao back to the edge of the pit.

"Do you know the word poisoned milk?"

The reporter shook his head, this future word was obviously impossible for him to know.

"Poisoned milk is that when a person predicts that something will happen, it will not happen, and when he supports a person, that person will be unlucky."

Sun Hao gave the reporter a science popularization of this word that the future comes from the future of e-sports.

The reporter nodded, although he hadn't heard it before, but after explaining it, it was easy to understand.

"Ross Barkley is the biggest poisoned milk, like you mentioned, Barkley said we were going to be swept and then we won the first game, and now he's saying we're going to be eliminated before the crucial third game, so we're ...... tonight"

"Will win."

"Correct."

Sun Hao didn't finish speaking, and the reporter naturally took it.

It was only after he took it that he realized what he had said.

This is, he was surrounded by Sun Hao!

The one who dug the pit fell into Sun Hao's pit in turn.

"So I love Charles, there's no reason why I shouldn't love him, we all love him."

And Sun Hao didn't give the reporter a chance to go around himself at all, and directly filled the pit with soil.

The reporter looked embarrassed and finally left.

When Sun Hao finished the interview, he glanced at a familiar figure in the middle of the stands.

James!

He's coming to the playoffs again, and he's the kind who didn't say hello to him.

James seems to like to be observing.

But every time I can be seen by Sun Hao, this is really fate.

After James found that Sun Hao saw him again, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he stretched out his hand to signal to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao also nodded.

But he was a little weird.

Although James is a little famous now, his family situation is still relatively poor.

was previously in Dallas, because after Cuban bought the Mavericks, he lowered the ticket price in various ways to increase attendance, and James sat in the back seat.

James could afford it at his own expense.

But it's a playoff game, and it's Portland's home stadium, and James can't afford it himself.

It seems that this can be asked after the game.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lists of the two teams were released one after another.

The Trail Blazers still use the lineup of the previous two games, Stoudemire and Smith on the outside, Pippen and Wallace on the front, and Sabonis on the center.

The Mavericks' lineup was adjusted, and the old Nelson used the first start, Nash Sun Hao on the outside, Uncle Finley Ho on the front, and Nowitzki on the center.

After the old Dunleavy saw the Mavericks adjust their starters again, he felt that he had stabilized.

Playing around, the Trail Blazers haven't changed, and the Mavericks have been changing, which shows that they have an absolute advantage in the series.

He looked up at the signs on the scene again, maybe he could really think about how to play the Spurs in the next round.

At the end of the opening ceremony, the two sides arranged the final tactics, and the game started immediately.

"Speed, bring up the speed, and run with them all over the field like a dog walk!"

After laying out the tactics, the elder Nelson emphasized the opening again.

The series has been in the hands of the Trail Blazers so far, and he needs the team to pull it over.

And he felt that he had already reached the third game of the series, and those old guys on the other side should not be able to run.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

At this time, on the other side of the ocean, the number of people watching the game reached its peak at the beginning.

Yesterday, after Su Qun published an article on "Tianwang Mountain, Life and Death", the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game has been full.

Sabonis turned the ball back into the Trail Blazers' half, officially kicking off the battle of Kings Mountain.

Sabonis held the ball at the top of the arc, Smith and Stoudemire pulled away, and Wallace asked for the ball in the low post.

The elder Dunleavy is not a general, and he has no reservations in the playoffs, and after two games, he already knows how to play most efficiently.

Wallace hit Uncle Huo with his back in the low post, and his trademark turn-over straight-arm jumper.

The super high shot point brought by the long hand, Uncle Huo, a former teammate, could only sigh with admiration.

"Huh!"

Wallace also showed excellent form in the last two games, hitting the first shot in the opening game.

This opening tactic also sent a tactical signal to the elder Dunleavy.

As long as the old Nelson dares to use this centerless lineup, he must be prepared to be blown up on the inside.

The Mavericks sent the ball out of the backcourt, and Nash and Sun Hao buried their heads and ran forward.

Behind them, Finley, Second Uncle Huo, and Nowitzki, who served the ball, were also in a running posture.

Don't say anything, run first for respect.

Nash burst into the frontcourt, Sun Hao didn't wait for others to follow, caught the ball and shook it outside the three-point line and threw it directly.

What is positional warfare?

"Huh!"

Throw it away!

The Trail Blazers continued to press the position in the frontcourt, and Wallace continued to beat Uncle Huo with his back.

However, Second Uncle Huo withstood this time, although his arm span is not as good as Wallace, his height is not much worse, the key is that he is heavier than Wallace.

"Phew!"

Wallace's shot hit the iron, and Uncle Huo turned around to protect the defensive rebound.

“run！ run！ ”

Old Nelson was already shouting from the sidelines.

I don't know if the Mavericks can walk the dog tonight, but Nelson Sr. took the whip and whipped the Mavericks players tonight.

Whoever falls behind, directly drip wax!

The Mavericks are really running.

They've played enough of the last two games against the Trail Blazers.

Without waiting for the Trail Blazers' defense to settle down, Nash assisted Nowitzki's three-point shot at the top of the arc.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki's three points, too!

The Mavericks threw in two threes in the opening stanza!

Tonight they feel very smooth!

The elder Dunleavy also seemed to have a premonition, and he also got up to the sidelines, motioning for the team to slow down.

The Trail Blazers, pressed to the front court to continue their positions.

And this time, Sabonis went to the inside line.

Wallace doesn't have that much advantage over Second Uncle Huo, so let's change to a bigger one!

Lian is quite old, can he still eat?

Sabonis pressed Nowitzki to put the ball into the basket and gave the answer.

Nowitzki's current weight really can't support him to play center.

But old Nelson began to wave the leather whip in his hand again, he didn't care if the inside line was blown up or not, he was determined to run tonight!

The Mavericks are running straight forward in the backcourt again.

Sun Hao's three-point shot from the outside missed again, but Finley rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and scored directly on the second offense!

Nelson Sr. was quite right about one thing.

After playing two intensely competitive games, the Trail Blazers' age went from experience to physical weakness.

The most feared thing for the elderly team is the lengthening of the series, as well as the way of playing in front of them.

Especially Pippen.

The 37-year-old Pi Erye basically didn't have much rest in these two games, and although he was old in the last game, he also ran out of energy.

Now running like this with the Mavericks is obviously embarrassing him.

8 to 2!

Nelson Sr.'s tactics worked in the opening stanza.

The Mavericks brought the game to the rhythm they loved! Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
