Kidd held the ball and steadily advanced to the frontcourt, patiently directing his teammates to run and comb the offense on the court, although the Trail Blazers' defense was tight.

But they weren't in the slightest hurry and didn't have a chance to get the ball back into Kidd's hands again.

Xue Ding stood in front of Kidd.

Kidd tried to use the tempo to get away from Xue Ding's defense, but he quickly gave up.

Time is running out for the attack.

That's when Nowitzki suddenly took advantage of Haywood's cover from the inside to get outside the three-point line.

Man to ball to.

Nowitzki catches the ball and shoots straight away.

At the same time, the lights came on, and the pip buzzer sounded.

He threw the ball in the final moments of the offensive time.

The ball arcs high through the air.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net!

Three-point shot at the buzzer!

"Oh hehe...... Dirk hit a buzzer-beating shot with 24 seconds to go, and hit a three-point shot!! ”

Barkley in the commentary seat shouted excitedly, and then the entire American Airlines Center also boiled.

With Nowitzki's three-point shot, the margin was narrowed to within 10 points.

"Nowitzki has scored five points in a row, do you think the Trail Blazers should call a timeout to adjust at this time!" Commentator Yang Rui asked.

"Pritchard should call a timeout to adjust, so he can't stop it when the Mavericks' morale rises, and I think he has to target Nowitzki at this time, he feels so good in the fourth quarter that he has to limit his play!" Director Zhang said.

"Indeed, now the Mavericks can rely on Nowitzki, if the Trail Blazers can limit Nowitzki's play, then they will have a big chance of winning this game!"

"But it's not that easy to limit Nowitzki, he has too many offensive means, he can shoot from the outside, and he has a back-to-back shot, but as long as the Trail Blazers can limit him, they have a good chance to do another game in Dallas!"

"Beep!"

As soon as Xue Ding dribbled the ball past half court, head coach Pritchard called a timeout.

The players from both sides slowly returned to the sidelines.

"The Trail Blazers should have replaced the main forces when they came back from this pause, right?"

"If nothing else, I should be back, after all, the Mavericks are a little bit of a momentum at this time, if we don't take the main force, once this game is overturned, the head coach must be responsible!"

"It's true that you should be scolded on the Internet!"

Time passed quickly, the timeout was soon over, and both players were back on the pitch.

The Trail Blazers also brought back their main players after this timeout.

At the same time, Xue Ding was also replaced by a break.

Although Xue Ding didn't want to rest at this time, he also knew in his heart that the coach was doing this to let him take a breath and recover some physical strength to deal with the final battle.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Miller received the ball at the top of the arc to direct his teammates to run.

However, the Mavericks' defense was tight and didn't give the Trail Blazers much of a chance.

At this time, it is only up to the individual ability of the star.

And the core of their on-court leadership is Brandon Roy.

Miller hands the ball to Roy.

Marion clung to his defense.

After Roy received the ball three threats, the sudden acceleration burst in.

Despite Roy's speed, he couldn't completely shake off Marion.

Kill to the inside.

Heywood also immediately came up to the rescue.

"Beep!"

Roy didn't back down and forced a shot to the basket, causing Marion's beater to foul.

But unfortunately, the basketball tossed on the basket a few times after the shot, and finally it was a little bit worse and failed to roll into the basket.

Missed a 2+1 opportunity didn't make Roy feel a little annoyed.

Roy steps to the free-throw line.

The American Airlines Center erupted in boos as fans interfered with Roy's free throws.

But this has long been commonplace for Roy.

But unfortunately, this time Roy missed, hitting one of two free throws from the free throw line.

Roy shook his head helplessly, clearly unhappy with the goal he had missed.

There were 5 minutes and 31 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

81 to 71!

The Trail Blazers lead the Mavericks by ten points.

The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd patiently combed the offense at the top of the arc.

Nowitzki suddenly swooped in with an open cut, and Kidd grabbed a little gap to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

Even though Chandler clung to him.

But Nowitzki forced the ball into the basket with Chandler, and also caused a foul on Oden, who came up from the defense.

Two points are scored and a penalty is added.

Nowitzki's hot form continues.

Get to the free throw line.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki added a free throw and scored a solid free throw to make a three-pointer.

Nowitzki took all the points in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks, and he scored eight points in a row to narrow the difference, and the Trail Blazers took the lead but the situation on the court seemed to be tilting in favor of the Mavericks!"

"That's right, the morale of the Mavericks is high under Nowitzki's strong performance, and the Trail Blazers seem to have nothing to do with Nowitzki!" Yang Rui echoed.

"Beep!"

As soon as Yang Rui's words fell, Pritchard immediately called a short timeout and stopped the game.

It was clear that he was unhappy with the defense on the court, and the pace of the defense was still too slow, which gave Nowitzki the opportunity to cut to the basket.

"I don't want to see Nowitzki have such an easy chance to catch the ball and shoot like this, do you understand?" Pritchard said angrily.

The suspension ends.

The game continued, and at the same time, Xue Ding was replaced by Pritchard.

"Xue Ding came back after just a round of rest, and now both sides are the strongest lineups on the court, and when the time comes for the decisive battle, it depends on whether the Trail Blazers can withstand the Mavericks' counterattack!" Yang Rui said.

"That's right, as long as they can withstand the Mavericks' final comeback, they can win this game and return to Portland with a 2-0 score!" Director Zhang said.

Miller holds the ball at the top of the arc and Roy mentions catching it on the line.

Miller handed the ball to Roy, and Miller suddenly accelerated to the basket at the same time as the ball was handed over.

Roy also passed the ball to Miller in time, and Miller received the ball and used his body to lean on the Kidd wipe board that was chasing the defense and scored the ball steadily.

"The ball was played beautifully, Roy's pass was very timely, if the defender came up a little later, Miller would have no room to shoot!"

"Yes, the opportunity on the court is fleeting, but the Trail Blazers seized this opportunity!"

After scoring this goal, no one dared to relax in the slightest and immediately retreated, Miller retreated to the back court to high-five Roy, and then immediately threw himself into the defense.
