The Cruelty of the NBA - Chapter 357
“The game is about to start. Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. The Mavericks didn’t make any adjustments. They still used the first two starting lineups. The Blazers made changes. They put Oden on the starting lineup. The veteran Miller hits the 1st position, Roy the 2nd position, the front line is Batum and Xue Ding, the Blazers put up a large and four small lineup!” CCTV commentary Yang Rui looked at the big screen and ESPN gave The double defense starting lineup introduced.
Obviously, although everyone knows that the Blazers will be adjusted, but no one thought that the Blazers would make such a bold choice in this game.
In the opening, a small lineup of four big and four small was directly placed.
“Pritchard is still a little bit of an idea. Unexpectedly, in this crucial game, he dared to put up such a small lineup as soon as he came up, which is really beyond everyone’s expectations!” Zhang Guidong smiled. Said.
“It seems that the Trail Blazers want to raise the rhythm of the game completely. Although the shortcomings of this lineup are obvious, but the field is a bit very prominent!”
“Yes, this lineup is a very adventurous lineup, a bit of a double-edged sword. The strength of this lineup is that they are very mobile, and Oden is moving fast in the center! But they are only inside. Relying on Oden to protect the basket and rebounds will be very disadvantageous!” Zhang guidance analysis.
“Snapped!”
Between them talking, the game started! Oden won the jump and took the lead in the air to Roy.
The moment Roy picked up the ball, he rushed towards the frontcourt, and the Mavericks obviously didn’t expect Roy to pick up the rhythm as soon as the game started.
Although the Mavericks’ withdrawal was fairly timely.
But it was still a slow shot. When Roy held the ball while the Mavericks’ defensive footing was not stable, a straight layup and layup hit the opening goal.
“Good shot, Brandon’s resolute determination!”
“The Mavericks are obviously not prepared for this. They must not have thought that the Blazers will put up such a big and four small lineup at the beginning!” Live commentator Barkley said.
“The determination of this ball is determined. The Blazers set a tone at the beginning of the game. They have to speed up, because only in this way can they maximize the advantages of their small lineup!” Zhang Guizhi saw Roy score Said after the first goal in the opening.
“Yes, only when they are moving, their disadvantages can be better hidden!” Yang Rui echoed.
After scoring this goal, Roy didn’t have any expression, and immediately chose to retreat. Xue Ding and Batum came up and gave him a palm. Then he immediately put into the defense.
The Mavericks attacked, Kidd slowly dribble the ball through the half, Miller defended.
Kidd kept adjusting his position to find opportunities, but Miller had always kept him tightly in front of him, and did not give him a chance to break through.
Nowitzki grabbed the ball from the back at the 45-degree angle on the left.
Kidd dangled the ball high, and quickly took the defender away, giving Nowitzki one-on-one to play Batum.
Although Batum’s height is a little shorter than that of Nowitzki, but it is not much different, but the weight of the two is not at the same level.
Despite Batum’s defensive efforts, he can’t stop Nowitzki from scoring.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Nowitzki dribbled back and carried two steps. Batum couldn’t stop Nowitzki at all. He was always squeezed back. Oden chose to assist.
But it still doesn’t help!
Nowitzki turned his back jumper before the Oden assists came up and threw the ball out.
“Uh!”
It’s the unresolved Golden Rooster’s independent back-up shot!
Basketball crossed a high arc in the air, hollow into the net!
“It’s okay!”
Xue Ding patted Batum’s shoulder and said that it was okay, and quickly ran forward to the court, and Oden quickly served the ball out of the bottom line.
Miller received the ball and drew it twice, and quickly passed a long pass to Xue Ding.
Xue Ding suddenly accelerated to the basket after receiving a spy step, but the Mavericks’ defense came quickly and did not give Xue Ding a layup.
“Assisting Master (lv2)”
Xue Ding’s Yu Guang saw Batum ambushing outside the three-point line on the left.
Batum received Xue Ding’s pass, without any hesitation, and shot the ball with a bow and arrow out of the three-point line.
“Bang!”
At the beginning of the game, Batum’s hand seemed to be a bit cool. After the basketball crossed a high arc in the air, the frame came out!
Heywood under the basket stuck Oden firmly behind him.
This rebound is basically Haywood’s bag, Haywood does not intend to take off, firmly stuck Oden under the basket, waiting for the basketball to fall.
At this moment, Haywood suddenly felt a dark shadow rushed in from the outside and jumped high to pick up the rebound he thought he had got from his head.
“Dunk Tianzun (lv7)”
At the moment of landing, Xue Ding broke up again and staged a flat dunk!
“Oh huh… Xue grabbed a rebound over Heywood’s head, and the rim strengthened to complete a dunk dunk, which was too brutal!” ESPN live commentator Reggie Miller said.
“Heywood was careless about this ball. He thought that as long as Greg was firmly stuck behind this rebound, it was what he had in his pocket. As long as he jumped this rebound a little, he won!” Buckley, a rebounder less than two meters tall, said sharply.
“Zhang Guiding we just said that the Blazers’ rebounds will suffer, but we seem to have forgotten Xue Ding, but the most rebounding guy in the guard!” Yang Rui said with a smile.
“Yes, if you look at Xue Ding’s 20-20 average per game, it’s clearly an inside player’s stats, and he has superb bouncing and rebounding speed, so it seems that the Blazers’ rebounds won’t even suffer. After all, the Mavericks’ starting power forward is Nowitzki!” Zhang said.
“Yes, Nowitzki’s rebounding ability has always been bad!”
At the same time, Sina netizens also began to bang their keyboards crazy.
“Oh, Xue Bawang is powerful~www.mtlnovel.com~ Pioneers must win!”
“I lie to the Trailblazers and there is no one inside, my Ding brother is the first to refuse!”
“This frontcourt rebound is too stiff, Haywood can only watch it!”
…
Xue Ding steadily landed after finishing the dunk, watching Hayward with some embarrassment, shrugging his shoulders, and then slowly backed into the backcourt.
“Good job, Xue!”
Batum and Roy ran up to celebrate with Xue Ding, and the fans at the scene were all ignited by Xue Ding’s powerful flat basket dunk.
“Xue, I want to give you a monkey!”
“Xue I love you!”
The enthusiastic female fans on the scene also shouted insanely, and they were also helpless to such an enthusiastic and open American girl Xue Ding.
