"The game is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides, the Mavericks didn't make any adjustments, they still used the starting lineup for the first two games, and the Trail Blazers made changes, they put Oden in the starting lineup, the veteran Miller played the No. 1 position, Roy was in the No. 2 position, and the front line was Batum and Xue Ding, and the Trail Blazers put out a big and four small lineup!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui looked at the double-defense starting lineup given by ESPN on the big screen and introduced.

Obviously, although everyone knows that the Trail Blazers will definitely make adjustments, no one expected that the Trail Blazers would make such a bold choice in this game.

At the beginning, a small lineup of one big and four small ones was directly put out.

"Pritchard still has some ideas, I didn't expect that in this crucial game, he dared to put on such a small lineup as soon as he came up, which was really unexpected by everyone!" Director Zhang said with a smile.

"It seems that the Trailblazers want to completely raise the rhythm on the field in this game, although the shortcomings of this lineup are obvious, but the points on the field are also very prominent!"

"That's right, this lineup is a very risky lineup, a bit of a double-edged sword, the strength of this lineup is that they are very mobile, and Oden is fast in the center! But they will suffer a lot on the inside with Oden alone to protect the basket and rebound! Director Zhang analyzed.

"Smack!"

While they were talking, the game began! Oden won the jump ball and took the lead in the air to give Roy the racket.

The moment Roy received the ball, he accelerated and rushed to the front court, and the Mavericks obviously didn't expect Roy to choose to bring the rhythm up at the beginning of the game.

Although the Mavericks' retreat was timely.

But it was still a beat slower, and Roy took advantage of the Mavericks' defensive foothold to hit the first goal of the opening game with a layup while the Mavericks' defense was not firmly established.

"Good shot, Brandon is resolute in this attack!"

"The Mavericks are obviously not ready for this, they must not have expected the Trail Blazers to put on such a big and four small lineup from the beginning!" Barkley, a commentator at the scene, said.

"This ball is played resolutely, and the Trail Blazers set a tone at the beginning of the game, and they have to speed up, because only in this way can they maximize the advantages of their small lineup!" Coach Zhang said after seeing Roy score his first goal of the opening game.

"That's right, it's only when they move that their weaknesses can be better hidden!" Yang Rui echoed.

After scoring this goal, Roy did not have any expression, and immediately chose to retreat, Xue Ding and Batum came up to high-five him, and then immediately threw himself into defense.

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd slowly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Miller defended it.

Kidd kept adjusting his position and looking for opportunities, but Miller kept in front of him and didn't give him a chance to break through.

Nowitzki asked for the ball with his back at a 45-degree angle on the left side.

Kidd hoisted the ball high and then quickly moved the defender away and gave Nowitzki a one-on-one batum.

Although Batum's height is a little shorter than Nowitzki, there is no difference, but the two are not in the same weight class at all.

Despite Batum's defensive efforts, he couldn't stop Nowitzki from scoring.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Nowitzki dribbled back and carried two steps inside, Batum couldn't stop Nowitzki at all, and was squeezed back all the time, and Oden chose to help defend it.

But it still doesn't help!

Nowitzki turned around and threw the ball out on a step-back jumper before Oden could come up.

"Huh!"

It's the inexplicable golden rooster independent backward shot!

The basketball arcs high in the air and hollows into the net!

"It's fine!"

Xue Ding patted Batum on the shoulder and said it was okay, and quickly ran to the front court, and Oden quickly sent the ball out on the bottom line.

Miller received the ball and dribbled twice, and quickly passed the ball to Xue Ding with a long pass.

Xue Ding received the ball and then suddenly accelerated and rushed to the basket, but the Mavericks' help came quickly and did not give Xue Ding a chance to make a layup.

"Assist Master (Lv 2)"

Xue Ding's peripheral vision saw Batum in ambush outside the left three-point line.

Batum received Xue Ding's pass, did not hesitate, and threw the ball steadily outside the three-point line.

"Bang!"

At the beginning of the game, Batum's hand seemed to be a little cold, and the basketball bounced out of the frame after a high arc in the air!

Haywood under the basket stuck Auden firmly behind him.

The rebound was basically in Haywood's pocket, and Haywood didn't plan to jump, stuck Oden firmly under the basket, and waited for the basketball to fall.

Just then, Haywood suddenly felt a dark shadow rush in from the outside, leap high and pluck the rebound he thought he had in hand from the top of his head.

"Storm Button Celestial Venerable (Lv7)"

The moment he landed, Xue Ding burst out again and staged a flat basket violent buckle!

"Oh hehe...... Xue picked up the rebound above Haywood's head, and the basket was strong enough to complete a flat basket dunk, which was too brutal! ESPN live commentator Reggie Miller said.

"Heywood was careless about this ball, he thought that as long as he stuck Greg firmly behind him, this rebound was in his pocket, as long as he jumped this rebound a little, he would win it!" As a rebounder who was once less than two meters tall, Barkley hit the nail on the head.

"Coach Zhang, we just said that the Trail Blazers will suffer a loss in rebounding, but we seem to have forgotten that Xue Ding is the best rebounding person among the guards!" Yang Rui said with a smile.

"That's right, if you look at Xue Ding's data average of 20+10 per game, it is clearly the data of an interior player, and he has super bounce and bounce speed, so it seems that the Trail Blazers' rebounds will not even suffer, after all, the Mavericks' starting power forward is Nowitzki!" Director Zhang said.

"That's right, Nowitzki's rebounding ability has always been bad!"

At the same time, Sina's netizens also began to tap their keyboards frantically.

"Oh, Xue Bawang is mighty, and the pioneer will win!"

"There is no one inside the pioneer who deceived me, and my brother Ding was the first to refuse!"

"This frontcourt rebound grabbing is too tough, Haywood only has to watch!"

......

Xue Ding landed steadily after completing this dunk, looked at Haywood, who was a little stunned at this time, smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and then slowly retreated to the backcourt.

"Well done, Xue!"

Batum and Roy ran up to high-five Xue Ding to celebrate, and the fans at the scene were also ignited by Xue Ding's powerful flat basket buckle.

"Xue, I'm going to give you a monkey!"

"Xue, I love you!"

The enthusiastic female fans at the scene were also shouting frantically, and they were also a little helpless about such an enthusiastic and open American girl Xue Ding.
