Chapter 342: Finally Scored!
"It's beautiful, Xue!"
"Good shot, Brandon!"
The teammates on the sidelines also stood up to cheer for them, and the fans who had been silent for a long time finally broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers again.
"Finally scored, the Trail Blazers played more than two minutes in the third quarter and finally scored their first goal of the second half!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui sighed.
"Hopefully this goal will allow them to gradually get back into shape, it's not easy to score this goal!" Director Zhang said with emotion.
Watching the live broadcast of the game, Sina netizens also commented.
"I've been waiting too long for this goal, come on Trailblazers, come on Xue Ding!"
"It's not easy to finally score in the second half!"
"It's not easy! It's time for the pioneers to start fighting back! ”
"Brother Ding, come on, kill the little cowboy!"
......
"Smack!"
When retreating, Roy and Xue Ding clapped their hands in celebration.
The Mavericks attacked, and the two immediately threw themselves into defense.
Everyone else was keeping an eye on their defender and didn't give the Mavericks any chance.
Kidd was holding the ball at the top of the arc and was watching the defense on the court.
After facing Xue Ding's defense and suddenly and continuously changing direction, he accelerated and rushed in, although Xue Ding was slightly shaken.
But Xue Ding still used his speed to keep up.
However, at this time, Haywood had already raised to block Xue Ding, and Kidd broke through to the basket by covering and threw a shot.
Although Chandler under the basket was quick to make up for it, it was still a step too late.
As the minutes passed, the Trail Blazers gradually regained their form, although the outside shooting still did not regain their touch.
But relying on the play of Roy and Xue Ding, they also bit the score tightly.
In the second half, Nowitzki was taken care of by Uncle Huo and Batum, and his physical consumption was very large, and his shooting rate also dropped sharply.
But when Nowitzki couldn't score, Butler and Kidd stepped up.
Marion also hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
The Mavericks relied on the play of the rest of the team and still maintained the lead.
With nine seconds left in the final game of the third quarter, Roy quickly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt.
Just after halftime, Roy was caught by the Mavericks' double-man.
Roy passed the ball to Xue Ding.
The moment Xue Ding received the ball, Marion clung to the defense.
"Precision Shooter (Lv 3)"
Although it was Marion who defended him in front of him, Xue Ding did not hesitate at all, and shot directly with three points.
This time, Xue Ding chose Kevin Martin's crooked shooting position.
Although Marion had been sealed in time, it was still a step too late.
The reason why Xue Ding chose Martin's shooting posture was because his shooting speed was very fast, so that the defender basically had little reaction time.
"Huh!"
The basketball crosses the air in a wonderful arc and hollows into the net.
At the same time, the electronic buzzer also sounded, and Xue Ding hit a three-pointer at the end of the third quarter.
End of three sessions.
76 to 70!
The Trail Blazers are temporarily trailing by six points at home.
"Xue, hit a three-point whistle at the last moment, and finally the two sides ended in the third quarter, and the Mavericks temporarily entered the fourth quarter of the contest with a 6-point lead!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.
"With a 6-point difference, there is still a whole quarter to go, the Trail Blazers still have a chance, and it is not yet known who will die in this game!" Director Zhang said.
At the scene of the game, the players on both sides have returned to their rest areas, and the coaches of both sides are constantly arranging tactics for their players and instilling chicken soup.
"Dale, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game so far?" Michael Joe, the on-site commentator, looked at Dell Curry, who was sitting next to him, with a relaxed expression, and asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know, even though the Mavericks have a six-point lead right now, you have to know that there are 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and no one knows what's going to happen!" Dell Curry smiled and shook his head.
"The six-point difference is really nothing for these two teams in the playoffs, maybe they can catch up in two rounds, but although the Trail Blazers hit a few three-pointers today, their shooting rate is less than 30%, which is very bad for them, if they can find their touch on the outside in the fourth quarter, I think the Trail Blazers still have a good chance to win this game, otherwise they will lose the home court advantage!" Michael Joe analyzed.
"You're right, the next Trail Blazers' outside play is crucial!" Dale Curry chimed in.
After a two-minute break between the quarters, the fourth quarter of the game was about to begin.
"The fourth quarter of the game begins, and who wins the game in the end depends on who plays better in the last 12 minutes! Will the Trail Blazers be able to defend their home glory at the Rose Garden Arena? Or will Dallas be able to reclaim their home-court advantage in Portland? Let's wait and see! CCTV commentator Yang Rui read the oral broadcast skillfully.
"Okay, the game is on, the first offense of the fourth quarter was initiated by the Trail Blazers! At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xue Ding continued to stay on the court, and Roy rested off the court. ”
As soon as Director Zhang's voice fell, he saw Xue Ding directly accelerate and break in in the face of Marion's defense.
"Beep!"
Bursting to the inside, although Xue Ding failed to score the ball, he still caused Marion's defensive foul and won two free throws.
Xue Ding slowly walked to the free throw line and prepared to make free throws.
"This ball Xue played too resolutely, and he was not afraid of Marion's defense, and he rushed straight into it with the explosives bag, fearless!" Yang Rui said.
"At this time of the game, under such defensive intensity, the tactics can't be played at all, and at this time you can only rely on the personal ability of the star, this ball seems to be a little unreasonable for Xue Ding, but it is actually reasonable, because of what? Because Dampier on the inside of the Mavericks is slow, he doesn't have time to help defend at all, and what Xue Ding is most powerful about is to break through! Although there was no score this time, it also caused Marion's defensive foul! Director Zhang analyzed.
Xue Ding made two free throws from the free throw line and scored two points.
The Mavericks attacked, and Barria advanced quickly with the ball.
Dribbling the ball across the court, he didn't slow down, using Dampier's cover to accelerate to the basket, and the Trail Blazers' interior didn't even have time to retreat to the basket.
Barria bursts to the basket and almost has an empty chance.
Pick your right hand!
