Chapter 320: The Decisive Moment

The Mavericks attacked, and after Dampier was sent off just now, the fans at the American Airlines Center were all standing up at this time, expecting their home team to score this offense.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The crowd shouted.

Kidd took the ball to the front, didn't stick to the ball too much, and after half-time, it was transferred directly to Nowitzki in the box, wanting Nowitzki to complete the attack.

Nowitzki takes the ball, takes a step in, withdraws, and the golden rooster is independent!

"Bang!" It's a pity to strike iron.

Lu Yi picked up the rebound and pushed a quick counterattack to the frontcourt.

Two to one in the front court, hand hand basket to Chandler, who easily put the blue into the score!

"Beep!"

In just two minutes, the Trail Blazers beat the Mavericks on an 8-0 run to tie the deficit to 10 points, and Carlisle quickly called a timeout.

He had won before, but at this time he already felt that the balance of victory was beginning to tilt in favor of the Trail Blazers, and he had to call a timeout to interrupt the Trail Blazers' offensive.

During the timeout, Carlisle began to emphasize the team's defense, while keeping his players calm, Dampier must not happen again, but while remaining calm, he must maintain the hardness of the defense, and he can't let Xue Ding easily grab the rebound in his own restricted area, and then dunk it.

"Now there are 3 minutes and 45 seconds left in the game time, and the Trailblazers scored 8 points in a row under the leadership of Lu Yi just now, chasing the difference to 10 points. Yang Rui said.

"That's right, Xue Ding's hand has not been very good in the first half, including the first half of the third quarter, the shooting rate is not very high, but after the timeout just now, Xue Ding's hand came back, and he also sent two assists for his teammates to score. I think, after Carlisle called this timeout, if he can't find a way to limit Xue Ding, it's hard to say whether this game will be won or lost, and there is still time. ”

"The first game of this year's playoffs is really exciting, there have been no games with a big difference in points in the few games that have ended, and basically the score difference in every game is within 10%, which shows that the strength of the teams is still very close."

……

Coming back from a timeout, Nowitzki scored two points on a layup under Haywood's cover to temporarily stop the bleeding for the Mavericks.

Blake opened the baseline ball and gave it to Xue Ding, and now the Trail Blazers need to chase points, and they must play fast and shoot three-pointers.

Xue Ding dribbled and threw three points directly in the half, missed, Blake struggled to grab the rebound and threw it to Batum outside the three-point line on the right side, who made a three-point shot and hit!

In the next two minutes, the two sides played back and forth, the Mavericks stabilized the situation and kept the margin to about 10 points, and the Trail Blazers scored a three-pointer each from Batum and Roy, but it didn't make much difference.

There is 1 minute and 16 seconds left in the race.

The Trail Blazers trailed the Mavericks by seven points, 102-109.

Faced with this situation, Pritchard, as a rookie coach, has nothing to do at this time, and has no intention of calling a timeout.

The players of the Trailblazers on the field did not give up, and after Xue Ding got the ball, in order to grab time, he directly played a fast attack.

In the frontcourt, Xue Ding got the ball and played against Nowitzki.

Nowitzki, who held a 7-point lead, unconsciously grinned when facing Xue Ding, and said: "Hey, rookie, remember what I said to you in that place, this is the American Airlines Center, welcome to the playoffs." ”

Nowitzki provoked Xue Ding again.

In the face of Nowitzki's provocation again, Xue Ding controlled the ball with one hand and said: "Isn't it too early to be happy!" ”

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Tortoise Fury skill! ”

Nowitzki's two provocations successfully activated Xue Ding's Turtle Fury skill, and Xue Ding instantly felt a completely different state.

Just as Nowitzki was about to respond to Xue Ding, Xue Ding suddenly passed the ball horizontally to Roy and shouted: "Brandon, shoot!" ”

After Roy received the ball, he hesitated, but he still listened to Lu Yi's words and shot directly with a three-point shot.

At this time, only 2.1 seconds have passed since Roy received Xue Ding's pass.

"Huh!"

Roy's three-pointer hollows into the net!

There are still 4 points left in the difference.

Nowitzki, who originally thought that Xue Ding would take the ball alone at this time, was a little annoyed when he saw that Xue Ding successfully passed the ball to Roy and assisted Roy to complete a three-point shot.

If only he could interfere with Xue Ding's passing route at that time.

The Mavericks' possession of the ball, Kidd with the ball began to control the time, and now the difference is 4 points, and the Trail Blazers have no need to foul early.

Kidd held the ball and controlled the time until 23 seconds before choosing a three-point shot.

Kidd's three-pointer hit the iron, and Xue Ding, near the three-point line, rushed to the basket in two steps, grabbed the rebound from the four, and quickly counterattacked.

To Batum, who broke through to near the three-point line, took a step back, and hit another three-point shot!

"Bang!"

The ball bounced off the basket and then fell into the net.

Seeing his teammates hit two three-pointers in a row with his own assist, Xue Ding couldn't help but say in his heart: "It's better to have a system, knowing that the Turtle's Fury skill is activated at such a critical moment, otherwise I will really be ridiculed by Nowitzki, but now it's okay, it's not certain who loses and who wins."

After Batum hit a three-pointer, Carlisle immediately yelled at the referee and called a timeout, and after two consecutive three-pointers, the difference came to one point.

With 36 seconds left, if the Mavericks' offense can't hit, the Trail Blazers will have a chance to shoot.

This is the last thing Carlisle wants, his team has led almost the entire game, and if they are eliminated at the last minute, it is certain that Carlisle will not be able to accept such a result for a long time.

During the timeout, Carlisle set up a two-point play, putting on his team's best offensive players.

This attack of the Trailblazers must be scored!

Kidd controlled the ball to the frontcourt and slowly controlled the time, and the Trail Blazers were all defending near the three-point line, and as long as this attack didn't allow the Mavericks to score three points, then they had a chance to play overtime.

If the Mavericks make a three-pointer from the outside, the Trail Blazers will be in a difficult position.

Kidd had possession of the ball for 10 seconds and began to pull the defense with the ball to create opportunities for Nowitzki.

But Nowitzki was pushed to death by Chandler, and he couldn't find a good chance to catch the ball.

On the other side, Marion shook off Blake and ran out of the open space, and Kidd saw the timing and hit the ground and passed the ball to Marion!
