"Batum finally throws in, and now the difference is only two points, and then it depends on their defense this round, if they can prevent the opponent's attack, the Trail Blazers will have another chance to tie or even overtake the score!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"Indeed, the next time to test their defenses has come!" Director Zhang looked at the Trail Blazers players who were trying their best to defend on the big screen and said.

“defence，defence......”

The Rose Garden Arena also shouted defense at this time, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and in the shouts of the fans, everyone in the Trailblazers played a twelve-point spirit and followed their defenders closely.

Barria holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Dampier suddenly stepped up and gave Barria a cover to stop Miller.

Barria burst inside with the ball, Miller and Squeezed through the cover to chase after him, while Oden also stepped up.

Dampier took the screen and unwound it down, and Barria gave the ball in.

"Beep!"

The moment Dampier received the ball, Fernandez immediately made a move and chose to foul.

"There is no way to do this ball, Rudy can only foul, let Dampier receive the ball in such a deep position, he has no way to defend it, he can only choose a tactical foul!" Dell Curry said with a smile.

"After all, the two of them are too different in height and strength!" Michael Joe nodded.

That's when Carlisle opted to replace Butler with Nowitzki, who returned to the court early in the second quarter.

"Dirk is on the field!" Michael Joe said as he looked at Nowitzki, who was slowly walking onto the court.

"Although Dirk was a little early at this time as usual, but after all, he got nearly six minutes of rest in the first quarter, so it was nothing to play early, and the Mavericks' intention to replace Dirk was obviously to stabilize the situation!" Dale Curry analyzed.

Jason Terry serves from the sideline, and Barria slowly dribbles to the top of the arc.

Nowitzki immediately came up to cover him, and Oden immediately switched defenses with Miller.

Nowitzki had his back to Miller, creating a misalignment, and Barria gave the ball past and then slipped over the baseline to take the defender away.

Let Nowitzki and Miller form one-on-one.

Nowitzki took two steps, turned and threw the ball easily over Miller's head.

"Bang!"

The basketball slammed out of the basket, and Camby picked the rebound to stabilize the rhythm of the court and put the ball in Miller's hands.

The Mavericks quickly stepped back and didn't give the Trail Blazers a chance to fight back.

Miller slowly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Oden came up to provide Miller with a screen, and immediately went down, and Miller burst under the basket to attract the defender, and threw the ball over the basket.

Auden the Great rises into the air.

"Boom!"

Miller and Auden connected in the air to complete an aerial relay.

"Greg, nice job!"

Xue Ding, Roy and others on the sidelines also cheered excitedly on the sidelines, and their teammates also began their exaggerated performances.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was also ignited, and the cheers were thunderous.

“wow！ In the air relay, the Trail Blazers tied the score, which was also the first draw between the two sides in this game! Dell Curry, the on-site commentator, said.

"The second team of the Trail Blazers is really good under the organization of Miller, let's see how the Mavericks are doing this round, and whether the Trail Blazers can continue to defend this offense!" Michael Joe said.

Dampier served from the baseline, and Barria received the ball and suddenly accelerated and rushed to the frontcourt.

"Barria rushed up, and the Trailblazers obviously didn't expect Barria to suddenly accelerate!" CCTV ended, Yang Rui said.

"Go to the basket, score! Barria took advantage of the Trail Blazers' lack of attention and directly completed a dragon counterattack layup, helping the Mavericks regain a two-point lead! ”

"The Trailblazers were careless, because of what, in fact, Carlisle brought Baria up to disrupt the war, don't look at his height, but he is really a good hand at fighting!" Director Zhang looked at Barria, who had just completed a dragon layup, and said.

"Beep!"

As soon as Director Zhang's voice fell, Pritchard immediately called a timeout.

"Director Zhang, what kind of adjustment do you think Pritchard will make after this timeout?" Yang Rui asked.

"I think it should be Roy or Xue Ding to be brought up, because although they played well during this time, they didn't actually have a strong offensive point, so I think Roy or Xue Ding will return to the court after a pause!" Director Zhang analyzed.

Back on the sidelines, Pritchard still emphasized the team's defense, and it was clear that he was still a little unhappy with the layup that had just been completed by Barria.

"Xue, Brandon, you two up! Nicholas, Miller, you two come down and take a break......"

Pritchard called out the names of Xue Ding and Roy during the timeout, and it was clear that although the score difference was very tight now, Pritchard was still very cautious.

Two minutes later, the timeout ended and the players from both sides returned to the court.

"The timeout is back, the Mavericks have also brought Marion up, and the Trail Blazers have also made some adjustments, allowing Roy and Xue Ding to replace Miller and Batum!" Yang Rui looked at the players on both sides on the big screen and introduced.

"From the substitutions between the two sides, we can see that both sides are very cautious!" Director Zhang said.

At the beginning of the game, Xue Ding slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, and in the face of Barria's defense, he accelerated directly to the basket.

Although Barria's speed kept up with Xue Ding.

But it was still too difficult to prevent Xue Ding, and Xue Ding burst to the basket and scored easily.

"Xue Ding saw that it was Baria who was defending him in front of him, and he was very resolute to take the ball and do it directly, although Baria kept up with his speed, his height and strength were too different!" Director Zhang looked at Xue Ding on the big screen and said.

"That's right, Barria's height and strength are too bad!" Yang Rui echoed.

"It's tied again, let's see if the Trail Blazers can prevent the Mavericks from attacking this time, and they will have a chance to overtake if they defend this ball!"

Barria dribbled the ball across the half, and Nowitzki leaned his back against Oden.

Barria hoisted the ball in.

Nowitzki was not in a hurry to attack after receiving the ball, and turned his back to observe the defensive movements of the Trail Blazers.

After making sure that no one had come up to wrap it up, Nowitzki leaned back and began to dribble inside, half-turning and shaking off Oden.

Rolled over and threw the ball safely.

"Huh!"

The ball arcs in the air and hollows into the net.

Nowitzki didn't relent, using his individual ability to score the ball and put the score back again.

But when they came back, Xue Ding and Roy covered each other, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to find Baria, and Baria would fight whoever he defended.
