Chapter 349: Home Defeat
"Huh!"
Xue Ding adjusted his breathing after receiving the ball, and hit the first penalty steadily!
"Xue Ding's free throws are getting more and more stable now, and then we have to see how the second free throw goes, if the free throw is only two points away, they need to foul immediately!" Director Zhang looked at Xue Ding on the free throw line and analyzed.
"In this game, Xue Ding made a total of 9 free throws, except for the one who deliberately failed to score just now, all the others were penalized, no accident This goal should be no problem!"
"Bang dang!"
As soon as CCTV commentator Yang Rui's words fell, Xue Ding's second free throw bounced out at the front of the basket.
Xue Ding rushed in from the free throw line for the first time, but this time the Mavericks had already taken precautions, and at the first moment when Xue Ding executed the free throw, Marion immediately stuck Xue Ding's position with his back.
The Mavericks didn't give him a chance to rush in and grab a rebound.
Under the basket, Haywood's back was also firmly stuck with Chandler, and the rebound was accepted with an easy jump.
Just when everyone thought that the Trail Blazers would choose to foul Haywood as soon as possible and send him to the free throw line.
Because of all the Mavericks players on the court, his free throws are the least inaccurate.
Of course, Haywood himself knew in his heart that if the Trail Blazers fouled him, he was not sure that he would be able to make free throws, so when he won the rebound, he was looking for someone and was ready to pass the ball.
It was at this time that Chandler struck!
"Oh, what happened just now, Chandler cut the ball off while Heywood was unprepared, and Batum took the ball down!"
"Brandon Roy has an open spot from beyond the three-point line!"
As on-site commentator Dell Curry spoke, Batum passed the ball to Roy.
The basketball flew towards Roy, who adjusted his pace before receiving the ball, but this time the Mavericks' defense still pounced.
Roy catches the ball and dunges a shot and shoots the basket!
Butler, who came up on the defensive line, was fooled, and his center of gravity was shaken by Roy, although he knew he was fooled the moment his center of gravity was shaken.
Although he had quickly stabilized his center of gravity, he was still a step slower.
Roy shook Butler and dribbled the ball to the bottom corner, jumped at the highest point, and pushed the ball out with a flick of his wrist and fingers, as if he had practiced shooting thousands of times.
Quiet!
The air in the Rose Garden Arena seemed to be frozen, and everyone was completely quiet!
Everyone held their breath, and they didn't dare to gasp and stared at the basketball that was spinning and slowly flying towards the basket.
One second, one and a half seconds, two seconds......
The short seconds that the basketball flies in the air seem incomparably long in this moment!
With this shot, the Trail Blazers will tie the score in the final moments, leaving the Mavericks with little time left, and then as long as they can defend the Mavericks' last offense, they have a good chance of taking the game into overtime.
If you don't score, it means that the Trail Blazers will lose this game!
It meant that although they returned to Portland, they did not hold on to their home court, and in the end they fell behind the Mavericks by a large score of 2-1.
"Bang dang!"
Finally, after a long wait, the ball slammed into the neck of the basket and bounced high, and then slowly landed on the basket.
It's been turned back and forth twice!
Everyone's hearts also tugged!
But it's a pity that this time, Lady Luck didn't come to the Trail Blazers again, and the basketball finally rolled off the basket after a few bumbles on the basket.
Haywood desperately stuck the rebound position under the basket, and Nowitzki took the key rebound.
"Beep!"
Just as Nowitzki grabbed the rebound, Howard made a move and the referee blew the whistle.
Nowitzki will be sent to the free-throw line.
"It's a shame that this goal is really a pity, Roy's goal almost went in, just a little bit, the result of this game may be rewritten!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui regretted the pioneer.
"That's right, the ball actually had a chance, but this time Roy didn't hit the shot, and this time it was a little bit of luck missing!" Coach Zhang also felt a little sorry that Roy didn't hit this crucial three-pointer.
"Next, Nowitzki went to the free throw line, which almost declared the end of the game for the Trail Blazers, as long as Nowitzki made a free throw, the game was over!"
"That's true, because Nowitzki's free throws are so solid that it's too hard for him to miss two free throws!"
......
At the scene of the game, Nowitzki stood at the free throw line under the boos of the audience, and the referee handed the ball to Nowitzki at the free throw line.
Nowitzki caught the ball and slapped it on the ground a few times, and threw the ball at the free-throw line with a normal look.
Although at the moment of his free throw, tens of thousands of fans throughout the Rose Garden Arena erupted in deafening boos and heckling to interfere with his free throw.
But for him, the free throw is as simple as eating.
As a veteran driver who has experienced being blackmailed in the playoffs in the MVP season, having experienced a two-0 lead in the finals and finally winning four games in a row by his opponent, and finally missing out on the O'Brien Cup he dreamed of.
Now he has already become extremely strong in his heart!
Such boos and coaxing have long been commonplace for him.
"Huh!"
Nowitzki's shot was followed by a near-perfect arc in the air and hollowed into the net, followed by a crisp thud.
Nowitzki hits the first free throw!
The Mavericks lead by 4 points, which means that the Trail Blazers can't have a chance to catch up in one round, and it also means that the Trail Blazers have no chance in this game.
"This goal is in, the Trail Blazers have no chance, and we can congratulate the Mavericks in advance on their G3 victory in Portland!" Said live commentator Michael Joe.
"Congratulations to the Mavericks for winning away from home, leading 2-1!" Dale Curry said.
While they were talking, Nowitzki made the second free throw without any suspense.
100 to 95!
The Mavericks lead by 5 points!
Five points behind, there were only 8.3 seconds left in the time, and the Trailblazers stopped playing after sending the ball out, Xue Ding dribbled the ball through the half court and did not choose to attack, and the time ran out directly.
"Game 3 is over for the Mavericks, who won the game in Portland and regained a 2-1 lead, congratulations to the Mavericks for winning this game!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui looked at Xue Ding and Roy, who walked straight to the players' tunnel after the game ended.
"Congratulations to the Mavericks! The two sides presented us with another wonderful game, I hope the Trail Blazers will not be affected by this game in the next game, come on Trail Blazers! Director Zhang said.
