In response, Xue Ding's three-pointer hand overcame the score with a 9:0 counterattack wave.

David Li's defense is useless for Xue Ding. He is too tall and his energy is not focused on defense. Xue Ding's speed has won him space to keep taking action.

After the quarter, 4 of 4 three-pointers were made, 18 points and 2 rebounds were scored, leading the Trail Blazers 30:26 to end the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Roy led a substitute to fight. Facing the small potato Robinson, who was small but had amazing speed and jump, the Trail Blazers had no way to counterattack. As Robinson broke through again and made a dunk, Prichard had to call a timeout and replace it with the main force.

The Knicks immediately made the main players, and the two sides launched a counterattack again. Facing Xue Ding, who was hot in the first quarter, the Knicks adjusted their defense strategy. Chris Du Hong was the main defense, David Li built the second line of defense, and the inside was ready to make Xue Ding's attack.

Chris Du Hong is only 185, but he is strong and moves very fast. He is also very smart in key defense and knows that his height is not advantageous. So as long as Xue Ding passes half the game, he immediately puts his body on his body and firmly guards Xue Ding's lower plate so that he cannot take the first step smoothly.

Xue Ding passed Chris Du Hong through constant change of direction, and was waiting for him. David Li's speed showed great significance under such a defensive strategy.

The Knicks' targeted defense seized Xue Ding's opportunity to take action easily from the outside, and at the same time, the defensive traps were arranged, making Xue Ding's breakthrough seem less sharp. He also frequently made a shot at the mid-range shot, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly compared to the first quarter.

As one goes up and down, the Knicks' team attack gained the upper hand, and a 12:4 round made the Trail Blazers pause again.

Before the game, the media was optimistic about the Trail Blazers. In terms of system, stars, lineup, and bench depth, no Knicks can match it. However, the Knicks, who can't do anything, have played extremely relaxed cooperation. In contrast, the Trail Blazers did not play their own style.

"Bully Xue is still focusing on offense and threatening to lead the team and organize is not his strength."

"If you continue to fight like this, your physical strength will be consumed too much. If you cannot hold back the opponent's attack, you will only be beaten like a sieve by the opponent."

"Rosi should be allowed to release the overlord Xue"

"The pioneer system binds the overlord Xue"

...

The barrage of the live broadcast room expressed their opinions, questioning, analyzing, and firmly believing in Xue Ding, and argued fiercely with each other.

Prichard also seemed to have no choice. Facing a Knicks who had no rules but had a smooth fight, the situation on the field was separated from his theoretical system.

Chewing gum in his mouth and setting up tactics excitedly, the players nodded to show that they understood the coach's intentions.

Prichard waved his hand and said that he had finished the arrangement. Xue Ding came over and reached out to wipe off the chewing gum foam from the corner of Prichard's mouth.

"The coach is calm, I promise we will win this game."

In Prichard's astonished eyes, Xue Ding walked onto the stadium firmly.

Xue Ding landed on the top of the ball with the ball. Chris Du Hong quickly rushed up. Xue Ding blocked the opponent with his left hand and maintained the space for dribbling. Ade immediately raised the high position. Xue Ding glanced at David Li who was preparing to assist in defense on the right, and dribbled the ball steadily, giving people the feeling that he was looking for the opportunity to accelerate at that step.

Xue Ding's idea is very simple. The opponent has set up a defensive encirclement and just wait for himself to enter. Then he will be patient and see who can't wait.

There were 10 seconds left, and David Li really started to double-team up. Xue Ding accelerated and moved to David Li with Chris Du Hong. When the two of them formed double-team, they turned around and shook the two of them away.

The sudden acceleration and change of direction made Chris Du Hong unable to react immediately, nor could he control his body that accelerated and followed closely, and collided with David Li without any suspense.

Xue Ding took a step back, pushed out the three-point line and shot, and a beautiful arc went straight into the center of the basket.

"Swish", hollow into the net, and a neat voice sounded.

Although he did not have the fanatical momentum of home fans in the away game, the clean and neat goal gave other teammates the Trail Blazers a strong confidence in the context of the two opponents being deceived.

In the next round, Chris Du Hong passed the ball through halftime, David Lee mentioned the pick-and-roll at the high position, and the two cooperated high and low. Chris Du Hong attracted Batum's follow-up visit and passed the ball back without looking back.

Xue Ding was ready, and he inserted one step into the middle of the pass line. His stealing hand instantly accelerated and rushed straight to the whole game. David Li chased after two steps, and gave up helplessly in the face of this speed of explosion.

Free throw line jumps, flies, and dunks.

After landing, Xue Ding walked up and kept beating his chest.

Teammates came to celebrate with high fives. After Xue Ding refused to touch his buttocks, as his status stabilized, no one was naughty.

The score was 39:38, and the Trail Blazers took the lead.

The Knicks accelerated the offense. Chris Duhong pushed the ball through halftime. David Lee and Garlinari both raised the pick-and-roll at a high position, attracting Ade to go out of the inside.

David Lee and Gallinari both had three-pointers, so Ade and Xue Ding, who were defending, dared not let go easily. Chris Du Hong took this opportunity to go straight into the inside and scored a throw.

With 3 minutes and 12 seconds left, the Knicks took the lead again.

Xue Ding suppressed the rhythm and waited for the inside to finish the position. Ade understood Xue Ding's tactical gestures and directly raised them to pick-and-roll. Xue Ding made a pass and made a comeback. Ade received the ball and made a big hit with two points.

Looking back at David Li's attack, under Xue Ding's interference, he directly made a fuss. Ade received the rebound. After Xue Ding received the ball, he continued to suppress the rhythm and waited for his teammates to take the place.

Ade continued to raise the high position, Xue Ding fed the ball as soon as he saw it. Gallinari immediately wanted to make up. As soon as he approached, Ade changed direction left. Although the speed was not fast, he just got the right time. He directly threw away Gallinari and rushed to the basket with big strides.

Jeffries was stuck behind Chandler, watching Ade's hand dunk as he drove away in a deserted state.

After succeeding, Ade turned around and ran towards Xue Ding, celebrating happily.

With the pace of the Trail Blazers stabilizing and continuous hands, the Knicks began to be anxious.

This is what Xue Ding wants. When the opponent's attack becomes smooth, either directly crushes the opponent's attack or interrupts the opponent's rhythm. Xue Ding found the most suitable method.
