Chapter 318: Tactical Change

At this time, CCTV's sports news is not over, but the second half of the game is about to start.

At that time, the live broadcast was not very developed, there was no WIFI at that time, and the traffic cost was expensive, five yuan per month30M, which was used by the student party every month, even office workers did not necessarily use it, and the 3G network was just emerging at that time, and the network speed was slow.

As a result, most people watch live text broadcasts from Sky.com or Sina's NBA.

And for the audience waiting in front of the TV to watch this game, it is naturally important that the game is important, who wants to watch the sports news, many fans are pinching the time in front of the TV to calculate.

Once the opening time of the second half was approaching and CCTV had not switched back to the live broadcast screen, fans began to pick up the phone and call the hotline of CCTV 5, asking to cut back the live broadcast of the Trailblazers to the Mavericks.

In just two minutes, CCTV's hotline was blown up, and all the calls coming in from the back were busy.

And CCTV was also stubborn, and it didn't cut back the live broadcast screen until after the start of the second half of the game.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the second half of the game, as soon as the game started, the Trailblazers played a fast attack, and Xue Ding completed a throw in the three-second zone." As soon as the picture came out, Yang Rui's simple opening remarks introduced the first attack at the beginning of the third quarter.

"That's right, through the offense just now, we can see that the Trail Blazers made tactical adjustments in the second half, which is intentionally playing fast, but I don't know how long the Trail Blazers can last this fast pace, the most important thing is to worry about Roy's knee, I don't know if I can stand this fast-paced game." Zhang then conducted a brief tactical analysis of the Trail Blazers' first offense.

……

And Coach Zhang is worthy of being a professional player, and he can see the changes of the Trailblazers in the second half at a glance.

From the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers did deliberately speed up the offensive rhythm of the game, which disrupted the deployment of the Mavericks, and Xue Ding's hand also rebounded in the third quarter, and in the first half of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers once overtook the score.

However, Carlisle quickly called a timeout to slow down the Trail Blazers' offensive and make targeted arrangements for the Trail Blazers' changes in the third quarter.

The Mavericks then relied on Nowitzki and Kidd to play superbly in the second half of the third quarter, and the Mavericks went into the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead at 85-75 after the end of the third quarter.

The shooting percentages of both sides rebounded in the third quarter, and the two teams combined for more than 60 points in the third quarter, including five three-pointers from 30 for the Trail Blazers.

Pritchard's arrangement at halftime played a role, Xue Ding and Batum increased their shots outside the three-point line, and the shooting rate was good, when the three-point shooting frenzy was not started in 10 years, the personal three-point shooting rate could be more than 40 percent, which can be called a marksman, and the three-point shot per game is not very many.

In some games, even after a game, the combined number of three-point shots of both teams is less than 20 times, and it is common for only 6 or 7 three-pointers to occur in a game.

In this game, the Trail Blazers hit 5 three-pointers in the third quarter alone, and in the past, as long as the defense was a little better, the lead ended the third quarter.

"Good job, boys, even though we're still behind, our three-pointers are coming up, and as long as we strengthen our defense and keep our intensity on the defensive end, we can win this game." Pritchard reiterated his team's defence during the break.

In the third quarter, all the main players played about 10 minutes and 11 minutes on the court, and the substitutes only had more than a minute of playing time.

This directly caused Chandler and Blake to gasp for breath at the break, and Roy came off the court holding his knees a little, which made Pritchard faintly worried.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pritchard did not replace the bench, but directly let the main team play.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, let Nowitzki and Kidd rest off the court, with a main player and four benches.

Before going on the court, Xue Ding said to Roy: "Brandon, we have to play our aggressiveness at the beginning of the fourth quarter and not drag the game into the second half. ”

"I will, Xue, you just need to catch the ball and shoot." Roy responded.

The first offense of the opening game of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks' possession.

After Kidd dribbled past halfcourt, he dribbled beyond the three-point line and went straight to the three-point line against Blake's defense.

In the past, Kidd would definitely not shoot this kind of ball, but the Mavericks now have a 10-point lead, and Kidd wants to give the Trail Blazers a blow as soon as he gets on the court.

"Huh!"

Kidd got his wish and hit a three-pointer to bring the margin to 13 points.

The Trail Blazers served the baseline ball, Roy quickly advanced to the frontcourt, broke through directly and slipped into the small penalty area, and threw his hand, but unfortunately the iron failed to hit.

Blake battled for rebounds with Dampier and Nowitzki in the box.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle!

The referee pointed his finger at Blake, blew for his rebounding foul, and raised his elbow to Dampier as he motioned to Blake for a rebound at the technical table.

Seeing that Blake was fouled, Dampier applauded as he walked down towards the Trail Blazers' halfcourt.

Blake, who had already grabbed the rebound, saw that the referee blew his foul, and did not reason with the referee, and threw the basketball directly on the ground to defend.

The Mavericks' Terry then added two more points from the free-throw line with an assist from Nowitzki.

In the next attack, Roy quickly controlled the ball over half the court, and then passed the ball to Xue Ding, Xue Ding wanted to break through after holding the ball, Kidd quickly pulled the ball out of Xue Ding's hand, Xue Ding protected the ball and passed it to Batum, Batum also wanted to rush in.

Almost non-stop ball is one step inside the three-point line, directly pulls out, "bang", and hits the iron.

And this time, Blake managed to grab the rebound and scored under the basket for the second time.

But the Trail Blazers just scored two points and retreated all the way to their own half, but Kidd did not choose to transfer the ball in this time, and passed the ball directly to Nowitzki, who was preparing to block Kidd outside the three-point line.

After Nowitzki got the ball, fans in the American Airlines Center arena suddenly began to heckle, and someone shouted for Dirk to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Even though it was a playoff game, Dirk smiled when he heard the crowd's request.

Then standing outside the three-point line without hesitation, Blake, who was in charge of defense, did not react at all.
