Everyone at the scene was completely silent!

The entire American Airlines Center arena could only hear the "thump" sound of the basketball hitting the floor, which sounded like it made people nervous.

Marion stuck tight this time and didn't give Xue Ding a chance to shoot.

After all, the person in front of him is the one who helped the Trail Blazers reverse and finally complete the stunner in the last game.

Victory in this game is crucial for the Mavericks.

A win would have equalized the score, while a loss would have meant they would have lost two home games in a row and headed to the Trail Blazers' home arena, the Rose Garden in Portland, with a huge 2-0 deficit.

It was as if time had stood still.

Huge beads of sweat slid down Xue Ding's cheeks and fell to the floor.

Xue Ding moved!

He suddenly changed direction and accelerated directly from the right side, and Marion followed closely and did not lose his defensive position.

At the same time, Butler also immediately assisted in the defense and carried out a trap on Xue Ding.

Frenchman Batum appeared open in the bottom corner.

Xue Ding gave the ball to Batum in the bottom corner.

Batum did not hesitate to receive the ball, and made a steady shot outside the three-point line, and at the same time, the lights and buzzer also sounded, and the game was over.

The basketball makes a wonderful arc through the air.

"Wow" hollow into the net!

"Oh, NO!! Nicholas hit this damn three-pointer!! ”

Batum did not relent, and hit the three-pointer steadily.

Everyone rushed to Batum in a frenzy, rushed to Batum, the hero who hit the key three-pointer, and he completed the fatal blow.

"Beep beep !!"

The referee's whistle blew.

The referee kept waving his hands in front of his chest, and everyone knew what this gesture meant!

The goal is invalid!

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Roy was the first to rush to the referee to express his displeasure, believing that it was definitely a good shot, and Pritchard also came up to put pressure on the referee.

In the end, the referee decided to watch the video replay.

Then the big screen on the scene began to defend the last shot over and over again, from various angles, in slow motion.

Everyone is waiting for the final result of this match.

"This series is really good-looking, who would have thought that the first two games of these two teams would be played to the last moment, it is really exciting, Director Zhang, do you think this ball was shot before or after the time is up?" Commentator Yang Rui said.

"It's really hard to say, I watched the video several times just now, but I didn't see if there was time, no matter how the game was won or lost, both sides gave us a wonderful playoffs!" Director Zhang said.

"It's really hard to judge whether this ball is overtime, and then it depends on how the referee decides, and it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be a result, and we can also see from the big screen that the referee has begun to discuss!"

As soon as Yang Rui's words fell, the referee announced the penalty.

After discussion by the referee team, the referee decided to uphold the original decision.

The goal is invalid!

The American Airlines Center arena was completely boiling and everyone began to cheer and celebrate, but the Dallas Mavericks, including the coaching staff, seemed calm.

Batum shook his head helplessly, looking a little frustrated.

"It's okay, Nicholas, you're doing well, go back to Portland and take them down next time!"

Xue Ding immediately walked to Batum's side and hugged him, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Xue Ding played 37 minutes in this game, got 27 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and a nearly triple-double, but in the end, the Trail Blazers finally lost by one point.

"We're going to keep winning, rookie!"

Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 36 points in the game, stepped up to the halfway point and shouted loudly at the Trail Blazers' bench.

"This game is really full of twists and turns, and in the end, we still congratulate the Mavericks on winning a game at home, and congratulations to the Mavericks on their thrilling victory!" Yang Rui also felt sorry for the pioneers in his words.

"This game is really enjoyable enough for fans to watch, it's too exciting, and now the two sides are tied 1-1, despite this, the Trail Blazers fought one game in Dallas, so back in Portland they have home court advantage, they still have a good chance!" Although Director Zhang felt a little pity, he was still full of expectations for the young people of the pioneers.

"It's true that they have home-court advantage in the next game back in Portland, and I'm sure they'll play better in the next game, so let's take a look at the tactical explanation of this game......

Netizens in the Sina live broadcast room also felt very sorry for the pioneers.

"Damn, it's a shame that this ball doesn't count!"

"It's a shame that if this shot had been a little bit earlier, the Trail Blazers would have taken away two wins in Dallas!"

"It feels like it's really hard to say, home is home!"

"The cowboys are so lucky, otherwise they would have lost two home games in a row!"

"I have to say that both sides gave us a wonderful game in this game, and I am so looking forward to the next game!"

Although the Trailblazers lost the game in the end, Xue Ding still accepted an interview with reporters after the game.

"Xue, we saw that you actually played very well in this game, almost getting close to a triple-double, so why do you think you lost this game because your teammates didn't play well?"

Reporter's questions are always full of traps, but Xue Ding has long been accustomed to reporters' questions and can deal with them freely.

"No, we think my teammates played hard tonight, they did what they were supposed to do, I'm very honored to have teammates like that, I love these lovely guys!"

"Brandon, another star player of your team, only scored 20 points in this game, and his performance didn't seem to be satisfactory, and there are a lot of people who think that you have already replaced Brandon as the leader of the Trail Blazers, what do you think?"

It is clear that this reporter is deliberately trying to sow discord between him and Roy.

"No, I think Brandon is a good leader, he made sacrifices for the team's victory, his leadership on the court is not available in the data, he is our leader, without his leadership we might not be where we are today!"

After answering this question, Xue Ding ended the post-match interview and returned to the team's locker room.
