Chapter 362: Mavericks Speed Up!

Previous Chapter

"Jose played the ball very smartly, and he didn't rush to the end, but chose to throw early before Oden came up to make up for it!" Said Reggie Miller, a commentator on the spot.

"That's right, after all, his height is easy to be covered when he protrudes to the inside!" Barkley chimed in.

As they spoke, Miller quickly dribbled the ball across half court, facing the defense, and Barria motioned for the others to pull away.

Although Barria is fast.

But on the defensive end, his height is a hard injury.

Miller suddenly accelerated with the ball and burst in, apparently the Mavericks also knew that Barria couldn't defend Miller, and just as Miller broke through, the help defense also came up.

But Miller didn't dive headfirst inside.

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

Although Barria had jumped up as hard as he could, interfering with Miller's shot, his height was too much to suffer, and his defense had no way to interfere with Miller's shot.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes to the net!

"There's no way around this ball, to be honest, Miller is a bit of a bully, there is too much difference in height between the two, although the old Miller is no longer at the peak, but Barria really can't prevent this!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said with a smile.

"It's a bit of a bully, but in fact, basketball itself is a game of bullying, the tall bullying the short, the strong bullying the thin, and the fast bullying the slow. There's no way, it's a playoffs, it's all about catching a weakness and fighting to the death! Director Zhang also laughed twice and continued.

After the Mavericks came on the court in Barria, the pace of the game on the court was obviously much faster than before.

On the contrary, the second lineup of the Trail Blazers has slowed down a little, after all, Howard and Chandler on the inside are not very strong in running and jumping.

So when Barria brought up the tempo, the Trail Blazers were a little out of tune.

After the Mavericks sent the ball out from the baseline, Barria drove forward at full speed with the ball, although Miller, Fernandez and Webster had stepped back in time.

But Chandler and Howard are clearly a little out of tune.

The Mavericks seized the opportunity to play more and less, and in the end, the Trail Blazers' defense took care of the other, and Guden received a pass from Barria under the basket and easily scored two points.

"After the Mavericks rotated the lineup, the rhythm of the Mavericks was completely different from before, their speed increased, but the Trail Blazers couldn't keep up with the Mavericks' rhythm!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"You're right, because the Trail Blazers' second lineup is a bit slow for Chandler and Howard, and the Mavericks' sudden acceleration caught them off guard!" Director Zhang said.

The situation on the court suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Miller's several strong Barria were all defused by the Mavericks' timely help defense.

Coupled with their quick defensive rotation, the Trail Blazers' offense is a little uncomfortable.

Although the Trail Blazers have a height advantage over Chandler and Howard on the inside, in fact, they don't have many offensive means under the basket, and they can only eat cakes or grab rebounds on the inside.

So the advantage of the inside line is not as big as it seems!

The Trail Blazers' offense suddenly got a little contained, and they missed several times in a row.

And when he came back, he was continuously counterattacked by the Mavericks using the advantage of speed, and in the 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 Trail Blazers were treated by others in their own way, and in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers used the advantage of the speed of the small lineup to make the Mavericks have no way to take them, but in the second quarter, the Mavericks used their methods to teach their second team a hard lesson, this game is interesting!" Ke Fan, the commentator in the Sina live broadcast room, said with a smile.

"You're right, just the blink of an eye Kung Fu lead of four points is gone, and it was overtaken by two points, I actually think Pritchard's timeout is still a little late, he should have called a timeout when his side missed the attack and was hit by the first counterattack!" Commentator Mr. Ma said.

"Mr. Ma is right, this timeout does feel a little late, because the score has been overtaken at this time! So, Mr. Ma, how do you think the Pioneers will adjust next? ”

"I think Xue Ding should be allowed to play early at this time, after all, Roy is injured, they can only rely on Xue Ding, and Xue Ding needs more time to stay on the field!"

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

The Trail Blazers did bring up Xue Ding and Oden after the timeout, and at the same time brought Otello on the court to replace Howard, but Pritchard still gave Batum and Miller a little rest off the court.

After all, neither Batum nor Miller had much rest.

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

"Pritchard was also very bold in his substitutions this time, he still put on a small lineup in this situation, obviously they want to compete with the Mavericks for speed, and the tempo on the court should be very fast in the future!" Mr. Ma said after seeing Pritchard's substitution after the timeout.

"It was a very bold substitution, three people at once! See how it looks? Ke Fan echoed.

The Trailblazers attacked, Xue Ding held the ball at the top of the arc to organize the attack, and his teammates on the field also kept running on the field.

However, the Mavericks' defensive rotation was also very fast, and it didn't give the Trail Blazers any chance.

The ball spun around on the outside and returned to Xue Ding's hand, and Marion defended it.

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

Burst to the basket, and at the same time Druguden has already helped to defend it.

The Mavericks didn't give Xue Ding room to shoot, and at this moment, Xue Ding saw Outlaw, who cut in, pass the ball over.

Outlaw catches the ball and goes straight to the basket.

"Smack!"

At the moment when he took the ball and started, he suddenly felt empty in his hand! Barria suddenly struck and cut the ball off Ottlow's hand.

Barria takes the ball and quickly counterattacks!

However, this time the Trail Blazers' retreat did not give him a chance to rush to the basket for an easy layup, and soon Fernandez and Webster had already stepped back.

However, this time Barria did not choose to break through the basket, but made a sharp stop outside the three-point line.

By the time Fernandez realized that the situation was not good and wanted to pounce, it was too late, and Barria made a sharp stop outside the three-point line and jumped to shoot the ball steadily......
