After halftime, Wallace, who had just been sent to the Trail Blazers, did not score a point in the first half, but at the beginning of the third quarter, he hit a mid-range jumper, followed by another dunk, helping the Trail Blazers score six points in a row and narrow the score to single digits.

At this time, Huang Yu stepped up and interrupted the Trail Blazers' attacking stone, hitting two consecutive three-point shots in 44 seconds to help the Mavericks regain a 10-point advantage and force the Trail Blazers to call a timeout.

Although the Trail Blazers used Aldridge to defend Huang Yu, but the effect was not high, Nowitzki's shooting touch gradually recovered at this time, and the Mavericks once again stretched the difference to 15 points, Huang Yu was replaced after Aldridge made a defensive foul, and then the Mavericks' crosshairs seemed to suddenly disappear, and they only shot one shot in the quarter after that.

However, the Trail Blazers' crosshairs are still as low as ever, but they continue to impact the Mavericks' interior line, once narrowing the gap to 5 points, but fortunately, Terry, who came off the bench, hit consecutive jumpers at critical moments, so that the Trail Blazers did not further narrow the score.

The Mavericks, who were a little weak in the second half of the third quarter, really went wrong in the fourth quarter, and after playing 6 minutes, the Mavericks did not make a single shot, and the Trail Blazers quickly overtook and took a 72-66 advantage.

At this time, Kylyle couldn't sit still, and directly replaced Huang Yu in advance, the Mavericks thought they could control Huang Yu's playing time a little after signing Brewer in the mid-term trade, but apparently Brewer's defense is useless at the moment.

Huang Yu received the ball and threw it after he came on the court, regardless of the fact that the Mavericks had been playing iron continuously before, although the fans were very happy with his confident shot, but Carlisle was a little frowned, how could he play so casually at such a critical moment, and an attack was over in only 7 seconds.

But he didn't think much about it, after all, the Mavericks belonged to the backward side, and then the Mavericks successfully defended, Kidd and Huang Yu made a fast attack, and gave Kidd a shot when Huang Yu attracted the bag.

Even Kidd was working hard to chase the points, and it was clear that the pressure was on Nowitzki's side, and after stumbling over a mid-range shot, Nowitzki finally found his senses, and he hit a three-pointer with 3:40 left before the end to help the Mavericks take a 75-74 lead.

Soon Nowitzki hit the inside line, causing a foul on Gerard Wallace, and scored consecutive free throws, and in less than a minute, he hit the same spot and the same position again, he shot and made another foul on Gerard Wallace, and scored 3 points with free throws, during which time the Mavericks scored a total of 14 points Nowitzki scored 8 points alone, and the Mavericks led 83-76.

After the Mavericks were on fire, the Trail Blazers obviously not only had holes in the defense, but even the offense was in a row, although the Trail Blazers rookie Batum hit a three-pointer after that, but it was too late, Huang Yu hit two three-pointers in a row in the first 33 seconds before the end, and the Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers 89-79 to take the lead, winning the first round of the playoffs and the first victory of the playoffs this season.

Nowitzki only scored 10 points in the first three quarters of the game, but he scored 18 points bravely, contributing 28 points and 10 rebounds in the game, 38-year-old veterans Kidd and Huang Yu became the sharp knife of the Mavericks in this game, Kidd shot 6 of 10 three-pointers, scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Huang Yu made 7 of 8 three-pointers and got 32 points and 8 rebounds, and Jason Terry scored 10 points.

The Trail Blazers Aldridge had 27 points and six rebounds, Miller Sr. had 18 points and six assists, Camby had four points and grabbed 18 rebounds, Batum had 14 points and Gerard Wallace had just eight points.

The three games in the East can appear in various situations, the game between the Heat and the 76ers is according to the momentum of the regular season, it can be said that no one is optimistic about the 76ers, after all, the Big Three are unstoppable in the late stage, although sometimes Bosh will be invisible, but this game has completed self-redemption.

The 76ers gave the confident Big Three a blow in the opening game, and the 76ers blossomed inside and out, with Holliday and Meeks both scoring three-pointers, and Brand and Hawes hitting the basket. In the fast-paced game, the 76ers had the upper hand, with a three-pointer from Meeks leading by 11 points at 25-11 with 4:12 left in the first quarter, and the Heat's Wade hit a three-pointer near the end of the first quarter, narrowing the gap slightly to single digits, but the Heat's perimeter defender was shot by the 76ers' shooters, and the Heat trailed 19-31 in the first quarter.

However, the Heat strengthened their outside defense at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Heat, who stabilized the defense in the middle of the second quarter, started a counterattack, and the 76ers made a pass error and James was ready to break fast after a steal, and was fouled near the halfway line and made one of two free throws.

In the next offense, James grabbed a rebound and assisted Chalmers on a three-point shot, and the Heat took a 39-38 lead, which was the first time the Heat took the lead.

The 76ers then missed, James and Wade made three consecutive layups, and the Heat went on a 26-5 spurt to take a 45-38 lead with 3:46 left in the quarter.

Wade played very hard, after all, since the composition of the Heat's Big Three, he has been ridiculed, young players huddle, etc., and many fans think that James is the boss when he comes to the Heat, in order to prove that he is still the leader of the Heat, although it hurts to save the ball twice, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

With 2:49 left in the quarter, Wade hit another shot to give the Heat a 76-62 lead. The Heat led by 16 points at one point and took an 80-69 advantage after three quarters.

But the young 76ers were not willing to be tied up, facing the Big Three several counterattacks in the final quarter, and in the middle of the fourth quarter, Thaddeus Young was on a fast break, and his shoes were stepped on when he stopped and jumped, but he still hit the basket.

He didn't have time to put on his shoes, picked them up and threw them on the sidelines for his teammates, went barefoot in defense and put them on the next stoppage.

With Thaddeus Young leading, Holliday hit two consecutive three-pointers in less than a minute, and the 76ers launched a 12-0 attack wave, and with 2:23 left in the game, after Thaddeus Young made a layup in the air, the 76ers only trailed 87-88, and the game was in suspense.

The Heat were halted for nearly five minutes, and although there were no problems with their defense, the offense was clearly in trouble, and it was only 2:03 before the end of the game that Bosh made two free throws to break the embarrassing situation, and Bosh had already scored 20 points by this time.

James then grabbed a key rebound, Wade forced a break in the front court and hit a board, the Heat extended the advantage 92-87, the Heat was more focused at the critical moment, James gave Holliday a big hat 34 seconds before the end, and the 76ers were beaten in the last 1 minute and 24 seconds to avoid defeat.

Compared to the slow state of the Heat, who fought back after falling behind by 12 points, the Magic is sleepwalking with all the staff except Warcraft, and in the regular season meeting between the two teams, the Magic only won the first game, and then lost to the Hawks in the next three games. What is difficult for the Magic to accept is that they averaged 82.5 points per game in the four games against the Hawks, shooting just 38 percent, and the Magic have one of the best three-point points in the league, but only 22 percent from the field against the Hawks.

The Hawks' outside defense can be said to make the Magic very uncomfortable, and this game is the same, only Howard found his sense after the opening of the day, and Howard quickly put the opposing interior player in foul trouble, knocking Jason Collins and Smith off the court. Howard scored 12 points in the quarter, but the Magic's perimeter was almost semi-dumb, with only seven points in the quarter, and the Magic only led 19-17.

In the second quarter, the Monster continued his strong dominance of the basket, not to mention consecutive interior scores, and with 8:27 left in the quarter, he hooked up and scored a foul, and after adding a magical free throw, he scored 3 points with free throws, and the Magic led 31-27.

Although the monster turned the clouds on the inside, but the teammates were restrained, but the teammates failed to give too much help, and the offensive space was gradually compressed.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Magic was almost a one-man show of the Monsters, who scored the first 13 points of the second quarter of the team, and scored 19 points in this quarter, and had 31 points in the first half, but at this time the Magic fell behind 48-55 at the end of the half.

In the second half, even the Monsters were in trouble, unable to show the courage of the first half, and at the beginning of the third quarter, he got two free throws, but the great center hit the free throws.... Hehe, two penalties missed.

Not only was the Monster's offense limited, but the Monster also began to fall into foul trouble, with 5 minutes and 37 seconds left in the quarter, Pachuglia grabbed the offensive rebound and prepared to make a layup, but the Monster had no time to defend and had to pull him down from behind, not only fouling but also adding a technical foul, and the Hawks hit three free throws to gain a 17-point advantage at 71-54.

When the Monsters were in trouble and other players were unable to support, Nelson finally got into the groove, and he hit three three-pointers in the last five minutes of the third quarter, and he alone scored 15 points in the last four minutes. The Magic closed the gap to 10 points at one point, but the Hawks scored four straight points before the end of the quarter to take an 85-71 lead into the final quarter.

The Hawks began to hide their strength at the end of the regular season with the rankings already decided, and they ended a six-game losing streak, but they started the playoffs again.

Less than 1 minute into the fourth quarter, the Hawks caused the fifth foul of the Monsters, although Howard still insisted on staying on the court, but the offense was restrained, the Hawks inside was to let go, and the crowd blossomed more, with 8 minutes and 44 seconds left in the game, Crawford hit a shot, and the Hawks led by 18 points at 91-73.

Although the Magic was unwilling to fail like this, they fought back tenaciously, and with 2 minutes left in the game, the Monsters made a difficult layup to chase the score to 90-98, but Crawford immediately scored a three-pointer, and the Hawks once again achieved a double-digit advantage, and the Magic was unable to close the gap by less than 9 points, so they could only accept defeat.

Although the Monster was in a brave state, he scored 31 points in the first half, and finally scored 46 points and 19 rebounds for the Magic, but he also made 8 turnovers, and in the last 11 minutes, he had 5 fouls on his back, which severely limited his offense and defense, and Nelson scored 27 points on 4-of-7 three-point shooting, and the rest of the Magic failed to score double-doubles.

The Hawks' starting four double-doubles, Joe Johnson scored 25 points for the Hawks, Al Horford 16 points and 6 rebounds, Josh Smith 15 points and 8 rebounds, Sinrich 13 points, and Jamal Crawford who came off the bench scored 23 points.

----------

If the game between the Heat and the 76ers is full of twists, the game between the Magic and the Hawks is expected, and many people predict that the Magic series will be difficult from the regular season, but the game between the Bulls and the Pacers, many fans are very sure that the Bulls will sweep the Pacers.

The Pacers had a regular season record of only 37 wins and 45 losses, and they stumbled into the playoffs, while the Bulls were first in the East.

However, as soon as the game opened, the Pacers showed that they wanted to be black and hideous, although Granger was in a slump in the regular season, but as the playoffs approached and gradually entered the state, today was even more surprising to the Bulls, and Granger's teammates also performed well, Collison, a sophomore who entered the playoffs for the first time, started the game, and performed very calmly, scoring 10 points in the first quarter, and he also assisted his teammates many times. In the first playoff game of his career, Collison didn't look like a rookie at all.

Rose, who was opposite Collisson, certainly did not show weakness, but his teammates gave Rose little help in the first two quarters, and although Rose scored 11 points in the first quarter, the Bulls fell behind 23-27. He scored seven more points in the second quarter, but the Bulls were still powerless to change the situation, and the Bulls were only 51-55 in the first half.

Although the gap was reduced to 2 points at the beginning of the third quarter, Granger hit three consecutive shots in a little over a minute, including two three-pointers, and one person scored eight points in a row, and the Pacers took a double-digit advantage with 9:21 left in the third quarter, and after the Pacers extended the advantage to double digits, Rose still had to fight alone, and he made 6 of 6 free throws in the third quarter, scoring another 12 points in a single quarter, and already scored 30 points in the first three quarters. Thanks to his efforts, the Bulls narrowed the gap to five points at one point, but Rush also hit a three-pointer to put the Pacers into the final quarter 79-71.

Less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, Granger hit two more three-pointers. While Rose was still resting on the court, the rest of the Bulls finally broke out, with Lore Deng and Kyle Korver also scoring back-to-back three-pointers to tie the score at 81-85. The Pacers' bench showed no signs of weakness, and after AJ Price and Josh McRoberts each returned a one-pointer, the Pacers took an eight-point advantage, and the situation for the Bulls remained grim.
