At the scene of the game, players from both sides have already entered the stadium and have begun to prepare for the jump ball near the center circle.

"Okay, let me take a look at the starting lineups on both sides, the starting lineups on the Mavericks' side are Nowitzki, Kidd, Brandon. Heywood, Sean. Marion, and Caron. Butler, while the Trail Blazers are the starters from the previous game, and Xue Ding is the starting point guard. Yang Rui glanced at the list on the scene and said quickly.

"It looks like the Mavericks are looking for some variables in this game, and Jason, who started the last game. Terry and Eric. Dampier was taken out of the starting position for this game by Heywood and Cuarón. Butler started in place of both of them, and after losing home advantage in the last game, Carlisle is taking the initiative to change. Zhang on the side analyzed.

"Beep!"

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Blake and Dampier jumped the ball, Blake slapped the ball behind him, and Xue Ding got the ball."

……

Xue Ding took the ball, dribbled quickly across the half court, did not stop the ball, took a step sideways by covering, and made a jump shot!

"Huh!"

Two-point hit.

"Hey, Xue Ding's style of play today is obviously different from the previous game, as soon as he comes up, he will attack by himself without hesitation." Seeing that Xue Ding broke through to the penalty area with the ball as soon as he came up, Director Zhang had joy on his face, because he saw the change in Xue Ding's game.

The first attack of the opening game was scored by the Trail Blazers.

Haywood sent the baseline ball to Kidd, and with the lesson of the last game being overturned, Carlisle laid out tactics for his players before the start of this game, and the Mavericks had to control the rhythm of the court in this game.

Kidd dribbled slowly across the halfcourt, directing his teammates to run, Nowitzki took a step up to cover Kidd, Kidd took the ball to the top of the right arc, and in the face of Roy's defense, Kidd continued to dribble under the crotch.

Usually this kind of action is made, that is, the ball carrier is going to start playing alone, and usually does not pass the ball out, so Roy stares at Kidd closely, catching his every subtle movement to make predictions in advance.

Blake and the others on the side were also ready to assist in defense at any time.

After Kidd dribbled the ball under his hip in a row, he suddenly started to take the ball!

“WOW~”

The audience suddenly exclaimed.

With 7 seconds left on the offensive time, Kidd took the ball and made a feint to break through to the right, successfully tricking Roy, but in fact, Roy quickly turned to the left, and at the same time Kidd also passed the ball under Roy's crotch.

After getting the ball, Kidd hit it straight on the spot.

Such a coquettish operation not only caused exclamations from the fans at the scene, but even Charles in the commentary seat. Barkley couldn't help but slap the table excitedly, and yelled at Edward, who was partnering next to him: "Man, you see, Jason was beautiful just now, he was Brandon. Roy, haha, I can't imagine that this 36-year-old guy can still make such a move, it's incredible. ”

"Haha, Brandon is still a little young, Jason's ball will definitely be in the top ten of this week, but it's a pity that Brandon has to be the background."

As he spoke, the two began to sympathize with Roy.

Kidd showed Roy directly in front of his home audience, which was considered to temporarily dissipate the anger of the reversal in the last game, and the home audience also found a little presence in Kidd's operation this time.

In the face of this situation, if you change to a star with a hot temper and a bigger card, it is estimated that there will be two quarrels with Kidd.

But after Roy was shown, he silently walked to the bottom line to take the ball and serve, and gave it to Xue Ding.

Xue Ding saw the scene of Roy being shown just now, if he was manipulated by someone like this in the away game, he would definitely return it without hesitation, and he would have played until he served.

After getting the ball, Xue Ding returned the ball to Roy and motioned for him to carry out the attack.

The rest of the Trail Blazers players were also sensible in opening up space for Roy on the court, hoping that Roy would respond to Kidd's provocation.

At this time, the cheering of the Mavericks fans was remembered in the American Airlines Center arena.

“defense！ Defense！ ”

With the cheers of the crowd, although the rest of the Trail Blazers players were actively creating opportunities for Roy, the Mavericks' defense was not porous at all, and everyone was running regardless of their physical strength, following their defenders and keeping a good distance.

Roy took the ball and missed a lap at the top of the arc and then didn't have a good chance to make a shot, and passed the ball to Batum.

Batum received the ball and stood outside the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot!

The front frame missed, and Xue Ding grabbed the rebound in the crowd.

But just as Xue Ding grabbed the rebound and was about to go to the basket with his back, Kidd, who was standing on the side, suddenly put his hand into Xue Ding's arms and wanted to snatch the ball out of Xue Ding's hands.

Then the two got entangled together, Xue Ding kept holding the ball in his hand, and then both fell to the ground, but Kidd still didn't mean to let go of the ball.

Seeing this, the referee quickly blew off the game and signaled for the scrum.

The ball was then returned to the Trail Blazers, and Blake received the ball and scored it under the basket.

However, the confrontation between the two sides in the opening two rounds planted a seed for this match.

After two offensive and defensive confrontations, the two sides played relatively smoothly in the subsequent games, but the Mavericks pressed the rhythm very slowly, and the score has been in a stalemate.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Mavericks by two points on the road, 22-20.

During the break, Pritchard took the tactics board and gave the bench a few tactics, telling them that they only need to run out according to the tactics he has drawn when they are on the court, and at the same time pay attention to the communication with teammates when defending.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Pritchard only left Roy as a main player to control the ball on the court, and the other four were substitutes.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, adopted a three-down, three-up strategy, always keeping two main players on the court.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks started their first offense, and Marion hit Marcus in the frontcourt. Camby, who managed to score two points and had a chance to add a penalty.

Marion's free throw missed the frame, but unfortunately Marion missed the free throw, but was grabbed by Dampier and scored directly under the basket.

Just one round at the beginning of the second quarter, in less than twenty seconds, the Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers 4-0.

Xue Ding knew that a jump shooting team like the Mavericks, once the hand was opened, it would be impossible to contain it, and it would definitely not be able to make them so smooth.
