A small defensive trap for the Mavericks - Terry went to block it!

Fortunately, Raheem is very experienced. He immediately raises the ball in front of his chin when responding without the ball, and can shoot at any time.

Terry tried to grab him to no avail, so he stood in front of Raheem, looking like he would be knocked down if he touched him.

Rahim stopped the ball briefly, and the Mavericks' defense also began to move in other positions. His passing line was about to be blocked, so he quickly passed the ball to Ruben Patterson.

The Mavericks switched defense very quickly, and Reuben Patterson received the ball and was blocked by Finley.

Reuben Patterson did not stupidly throw against the defense. When Finley caught the ball, Finley had not yet stood still. Reuben Patterson chose to break through and made a throw outside the three-second area...missed!

but!

Kwame Brown jumped high and pushed the ball that bounced in his direction back to the basket!

Butcher said, be brave when grabbing offensive rebounds, don't be afraid of buttery hands, don't be afraid of being intercepted.

If you are worried about your weak hands or that your passing skills may not be up to standard and it will be intercepted easily, then just press the ball back.

Kwame Brown suddenly understood: You are right!

8 to 5, the Trail Blazers lead by 3 points!

But looking back, Nowitzki singled out Kwame Brown from close range, faked a move to shake Kwame Brown, bullied himself and scored the ball with a one-handed push, and also caused Kwame Brown to foul.

Get to the free throw line.

Nowitzki also scored an extra free throw, and the Mavericks tied the score!

The coaches of both teams looked unhappy.

Let’s not talk about the mad scientist for now.

As for the Trail Blazers, they were chatting with Liu Xiu about tonight's game while chatting with Liu Xiu this morning. There was one thing that they were worried about after talking about it - the Mavericks' unlimited singles.

If the Mavericks really play as a team, the Trail Blazers actually have a good chance of winning. The Mavericks have changed their outside core, and it will be difficult to get it done without a month or two of actual practice. After all, Nash has been a starter for 6 years, and the Mavericks' team play style has long been fixed.

But taking turns in singles... In the second round of the playoffs last season, the Mavericks played unlimited singles and defeated the Timberwolves!

It is worth mentioning that in that series, Nelson suffered a recurrence of his back injury and was unable to coach on site. It was the intern assistant coach Junior who temporarily took charge of the series.

Liu Xiu, who was on the court, also noticed that the opponent started to play this style again.

After receiving the ball and advancing to the frontcourt, he felt tremendous pressure!

The opponent's defensive cooperation was very good. Even if the guard combination of Terry + Finley made mistakes, under the leadership of Ratliff, a top defensive center, they adjusted well independently and maximized the defensive effect.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Liu Xiu quickly reviewed the previous rounds, opened his eyes, and gestured firmly towards his teammates with firm movements - breakthrough!

The Mavericks defense began to rotate. After Finley was passed, he turned around and chased after him. He was ready to rotate defense according to the instructions of defensive boss Ratliff... But!

Liu Xiu suddenly reached the free throw line and made a sudden jump shot... Ratliff pounced on him, Liu Xiu shot very resolutely!

‘Talent: Jet’ is triggered, Liu Xiu’s bullet speed is increased!

Ratliff missed the shot a little bit, and Liu Xiu successfully threw the ball.

The ball flew over Ratliff's head... and hit the neck of the basket with a "bang" sound... but Kwame Brown completed the dunk again!

Genius who plays instinctively - Kwame Brown!

In fact, his teammates did not understand what gesture Liu Xiu made. They did not have the tactical gestures of "2" and "4". Liu Xiu's previous style of play rarely made wasteful shots, so it would be outrageous to just take the shot.

But Kwame Brown didn't care about tactical gestures. He thought very simply - when the basket is empty, he cuts in to eat the pie, and when his teammates shoot, he rushes to grab it.

Liu Xiu's idea of ​​playing like this is also very simple - his teammates are not good at responding to long-range shots. If he shoots too much, his confidence will be affected and he will become less and less afraid to shoot.

In order to prevent his teammates from playing too much and affecting his confidence, he made a difficult and selfless decision - he came to play!
