Chapter 346: The Great Trend Has Gone
"The referee missed the ball, Haywood did have a foul, not only did he not blow the foul, but also paid a technical foul, here is three points on the outside, the situation on the court is too unfavorable for the Trail Blazers!" Yang Rui said.
"Indeed, the situation on the field is extremely unfavorable for the Trail Blazers!" Director Zhang said.
"Huh!"
Nowitzki stepped up to the free throw line and hit the free throw with a technical foul.
The Mavericks possess the ball and serve on the backcourt sideline.
Kidd slowly dribbled the ball across the half court with the ball, and was not in a hurry to attack, and kept passing the ball to find suitable offensive opportunities.
"The Mavericks are starting to lose time now, after all, they are now leading by six points, and there are only two minutes left in the game, and the situation is getting more and more unfavorable for the Trail Blazers!" Yang Rui said as he watched the Mavericks keep passing the ball from the outside.
"You can't help it, you can't foul at this time, as soon as you foul, you're going to make a free throw!" Director Zhang said helplessly.
With six seconds left on the offensive clock, Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki turned to the frame, and Howard opened his hand to keep it in front of Nowitzki.
This time, the Trail Blazers did not choose to go to the pack, and chose to let Howard go to defend Nowitzki alone.
Nowitzki made a triple threat and jumped back to meet Howard's defense and threw the ball out, sending the basketball in a high arc.
"Bang!"
Pop up!
Chandler and Heywood under the basket are desperately stuck in position.
"Rebounding !!"
Just as Chandler was about to accept this key rebound, Marion suddenly rushed in and jumped high and pointed out the rebound with one hand.
Kidd rushed up and took the rebound under control.
"This rebound was actually snatched by the Mavericks, Kidd got the rebound and was not in a hurry, stabilized, and started to organize an offense again!"
"The Trail Blazers lost this rebound too undeservedly, and the Mavericks grabbed another offensive opportunity from the Trail Blazers with their all-out scramble!"
"Not surprisingly, the Mavericks are going to play another twenty-four seconds this time!"
Kidd was not in a hurry to attack after getting the ball, he was very calm, and once again passed the ball on the outside, wasting time.
"There is not much time left for the Trail Blazers, this rebound is too hurtful, the Mavericks run out of time this time, even if it doesn't work, but there is less than a minute and a half of time left, and the 6-point difference is a bit hanging!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.
"That's right, the Mavericks are obviously going to play harder than the Trail Blazers in this game, and the Trail Blazers have little hope in this game, unless the Trail Blazers can hit three points in a short period of time before they have a chance!" Director Zhang analyzed.
At this point in the game, the less time left is in the favor of the leading side!
And at this time, the Trail Blazers' biggest enemy may not be the Mavericks, but time!
Time is too bad for them in their situation!
This time, the Mavericks still spent the last moments, ending with Nowitzki's mid-range shot, although this time it still didn't score, but the Mavericks' goal has been achieved.
There is only 1 minute and 27 seconds left in the clock!
Trail Blazers Attack!
A difference of 6 points!
Xue Ding quickly dribbled through the half court with the ball, and suddenly accelerated and rushed into the basket!
At this time, the Mavericks had already prepared an iron bucket formation for him, waiting for Xue Ding to drill in, but although Xue Ding's physical talent and even movements were similar to Divine Turtle Wei Shao.
However, Xue Ding is more calm than Wei Shao!
After Xue Ding attracted the attention of the defense, he passed the ball back to Batum outside the three-point line.
Batum received the ball outside the three-point line and threw the ball steadily, and the ball crossed an arc in the air with a "bang" sound, and popped out of the frame!
Chandler jumped up under the basket and single-handedly spotted the ball.
Xue Ding jumped high to hold the ball and passed the ball to Batum who was in the empty space on the outside again.
Batum shot again with three points in the same position!
But unfortunately, the basket seemed to put a lid on him, and Batum's shot was almost halfway in, but in the end it still came out of the frame.
"Smack!"
Chandler slapped the ball out again under the basket.
Howard took the ball and passed it to Batum again!
Batum hesitated, jumped up again and threw the ball.
"Smack!"
Marion pounced, jumped high to block Batum's shot, and after the block, Marion quickly rushed forward, controlled the ball, and rushed forward at full speed.
"Beep!"
Batumra foul!
Marion walks to the free-throw line.
"The Mavericks really gave a chance, but it's a pity that Batum didn't take advantage of this opportunity, and he couldn't hit any consecutive three-point shots from the outside, it's a pity, if this shot goes in, the Trail Blazers will still have a chance!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.
"Batum's outside line is really not accurate today, such an empty opportunity according to his previous three-point shooting rate, this kind of opportunity is to give points, and he himself is a little unconfident in the end, he doesn't hesitate to let Marion cover his ball!" Director Zhang said.
"Now there is 1 minute 07 seconds left in the game, and the Trail Blazers game is only theoretically possible!"
"The tide is over! The Trailblazers have basically explained this game! ”
Marion hit both free throws from the free throw line!
95 to 87!
The Mavericks lead by 8 points!
There is 1 minute 07 seconds left in the race!
As soon as the Trail Blazers sent the ball out, Pritchard immediately called a timeout, and players from both sides returned to the sidelines.
"Rudy, you up, Zhu Wan, you down!"
Pritchard has no intention of giving up, even if the odds of winning this game are slim, but he still wants to fight.
"Pritchard didn't give up there, he replaced Rudy, obviously ready to bet three points!" Live commentator Dell Curry said after seeing Pritchard's lineup after the timeout.
"That's right, now they can only bet on three points!" Michael Joe said.
The Trailblazers served in the front court, and Xue Ding and Roy were naturally the focus of the Mavericks' care, and they were always tightly held, and they didn't even have a chance to catch the ball.
Although Batum's three-point shooting percentage in this game was miserable, the Mavericks didn't dare to let him shoot, and Butler also clung to him.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the Trail Blazers players on the field all ran.
It was clear that Pritchard's first choice was Roy and Xue Ding, but the Mavericks didn't give the two of them a chance to shoot.
Batum and Fernandez covered each other, allowing Fernandez to get a catch-and-shoot.
Chandler passes the ball to Fernandez!
Fernandez catches the ball and jumps, and shoots from beyond the three-point range!
