40 wins and 21 losses, with only 21 games left in the regular season.

The Trail Blazers' record now exceeds the expectations of many people at the beginning of the season. Theoretically, they can enter the playoffs as long as they maintain a 50% winning rate. Of course, the Trail Blazers are not aiming for the playoffs, their goal is to win the championship.

The regular season ends for more than 50 days, 8 weeks, almost three games a week.

At the end of the season, you can also take a turn off while ensuring your results.

This is good news for Xue Ding, who averages more than 40 minutes of playing time.

The bosses are often forced to take off injuries and take turns to take a break. They are the younger brother who is desperate and dragging the team to this level. Sometimes they are also hard.

It’s not that Xue Ding doesn’t love the game, but he just feels that if he continues to play for so long, he will be at a very strong risk of injury.

The minor injury in February shocked Xue Ding himself. He was not an iron man, so he should be careful.

The media before the game revealed an unexpected news.

Nowitzki caught a cold, so he would not play in this game.

Xue Ding looked at the record rankings. The Mavericks are now ranked 0.5 wins ahead of the Trail Blazers in the West. If they lose this game, they will be ranked differently. And as an imaginary enemy in the playoffs and do not want to be psychologically weak in the playoffs, both teams will definitely win such a key battle.

If both sides can pass the first round according to their current ranking, they will meet in the second round.

...

Afterwards, Xue Ding also saw the battle report of Nowitzki scoring 4016 rebounds in the last game.

So Xue Ding judged that the news was Carlisle's smoke bomb.

Nowitzki should play in this game.

Carlisle has habitually put smoke bombs before the game.

Xue Ding has begun to adapt to the various strange tricks of the so-called famous coach.

Carlisle likes pre-match poisonous milk.

Not only Carlisle, but also Popovich, Old Nelson and others have already made a rough idea of ​​the tricks.

Bobo's reason for taking a turnaround is even more bizarre, such as stomachache, old age, and tight hips.

Yaya also came to the scene for this game. Her life in Portland is not too busy. She occasionally returns to China to deal with work. As long as she is not busy, she will come to the Rose Garden Stadium to watch Xue Ding's game.

In this game, Xue Ding also agreed to redesign her appearance dance and promised to show what she taught.

Sure enough, after the pre-match appearance ceremony, two minutes before the start of the game, Xue Ding danced with the cockscomb man Webster.

Negroes are almost born to like to twist around. They give them music and don’t give them food…

Xue Ding is definitely right to cooperate with Webster, and he will definitely steal the scene.

This guy is not very good at it, but he just likes to jump.

The two of them twisted wildly.

"Wow, Xue, your movements have improved."

"Haha, this is a brand new set of actions, what do you think?"

"That's right, look, those cameras are aimed at us."

"Yes, this is the latest way to steal the spotlight."

"Cool! Xue, you're so smart."

"Kake!!"

The camera quickly aimed at the two of them, and the entrance ceremony of the two of them was also displayed on the screen on their heads!!!

The fans on the scene were also amused by the two.

Xue Ding looks likes to play.

Seeing Xue Ding's dance ceremony, Yaya nodded with satisfaction.

Xue Ding's flexibility has improved a little.

.....

The game was about to begin, and Xue Ding saw Nowitzki on the court and shook hands with him.

Paralysis, it was indeed a smoke bomb.

Prichard really designed a tactic that Nowitzki doesn't play! Many people in the Trail Blazers team thought they wouldn't be so tired tonight, but most of them were fooled.

Carlisle has too much off-field experience, and a little trick caught off guard can make you spend more useless efforts.

The Mavericks' away challenge to the Trail Blazers starts at 11:30 am Beijing time, and the actual jump time is 11:40. Today, on Friday, the students wait in the cafeteria early as the get out of class comes. Some college students who have no classes in the afternoon are also preparing to finish the game in the cafeteria.

The Mavericks had just finished a big deal, and their starting lineup changed when they fought against the two teams before.

Stevenson and Butler became starters.

On the Trail Blazers, except for Oden's position being replaced by Tyson Chandler and Miller's position being replaced by Xue Ding, the other three started the starter at the beginning of the season.

Compared to the beginning of the season, the Trail Blazers are more fearful.

Batum and Roy are in a stable state as last season, Xue Ding's growth, Chandler's joining, and the underrated Ade.

In the ESPN-rated starting power rankings, the Trail Blazers' starting lineup is also at the same level as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the All-Star Weekend, the new player arrived, and the Mavericks won a six-game winning streak until they were over with the Lakers.

After losing to the Lakers, the Mavericks began a winning streak. They won 9 games in the last 10 games.

The Mavericks' deal was also rated as the most cost-effective deal this year by the outside world. The addition of Butler and Stevenson greatly made up for the Mavericks' lineup defects.

The Mavericks are now known as the jump shot team, led by Nowitzki. Their defense mainly relies on overall enthusiasm and rich experience.

All physical talents are average.

Since Nowitzki played, their lineup has also changed. The tactics used by the Trail Blazers in this game are a bit different from those when they played against the Mavericks before.

The Trail Blazers tactical focus has strengthened restrictions on Nowitzki.

I would rather let others open than let Nowitzki open.

The new players of the Mavericks are still in a stage of high morale, and it is best to let them attack and cut off their connection with other Mavericks players.

The strategy was well arranged at the beginning. Double-team Nowitzki, letting him pass the ball to the new players and let the new players attack. Unexpectedly, Butler felt very good after the game started, and he scored 10 points in a row as soon as he got up.

On the Trail Blazers, Batum and Roy each helped the Trail Blazers not to fall behind by more than 10 points at the beginning.

At the beginning, the Mavericks played a 12-4 wave. After three minutes, Coach Prichard called a timeout.

Xue Ding kept wiping his sweat off the court. Playing the Mavericks is obviously different from playing against other teams. They have too many veterans and almost all have rich experience.

Then these veterans have a high desire for championships and games.

Although their talent is not very high, they have shown great teamwork skills.

Their defensive position is so good that the Trail Blazers players have almost no chance to shoot open positions, and they almost all have barely shots.

Xue Ding is very glad that Chandler was brought over by himself.

...

After the timeout, cheering sounds sounded at the scene, and they were encouraging the home team! Portland fans were also very tough.
Chapter completed!
