At the game site, players from both sides had entered the court and had already started preparing to jump the ball near the center circle.

"Okay, let me take a look at the starting lineup of both sides on the scene. The Mavericks' starting lineup is Nowitzki, Kidd, Brandon Haywood, Sean Marion, and Caron Butler. The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is one of the starting points guards in the last game, and Xue Ding serves as the starting point guard." Yang Rui glanced at the roster at the scene and said quickly.

"It seems that the Mavericks want to seek some variables in this game. Jason Terry and Eric Danpier, who started in the last game, were both taken to start in this game, with Heywood and Caron Butler taking the lead. After losing the home advantage in the last game, Carlisle was taking the initiative to change," said Zhang, who was on the side.

"Beep!"

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began. Blake and Danpier jumped the ball. Blake slapped the ball behind him with his big palm, and Xue Ding got the ball."

...

Xue Ding took the ball and quickly passed the half, kept stopping the ball, and took a step forward with the cover, and made a jump shot!

"Swish!"

Two-point hit.

"Hey, Xue Ding's style of playing today is obviously different from the previous game. He attacked by himself at the beginning without hesitation." Seeing Xue Ding dribbled the ball and broke through to the penalty area as soon as he came up, Director Zhang had joy on his face because he saw the changes in Xue Ding's game.

The first attack at the beginning was scored by the Trail Blazers.

Haywood gave Kidd a baseline ball, and learned the lesson of being overturned in the last game. Before the game started, Carlisle arranged tactics for his players. In this game, the Mavericks had to control the rhythm on the court and play steadily.

Kidd dribbles slowly through the half-court and directed his teammates to run. Nowitzki took a step forward to cover Kidd. Kidd took the ball and walked to the top of the right arc. Facing Roy's defense, Kidd dribbled the ball continuously.

Generally, if you make such an action, the ball holder will start playing singles and will not pass the ball out. Therefore, Roy stares at Kidd tightly and captures every subtle action of his to make predictions in advance.

Blake and others on the side were also ready to assist in defense at any time.

After Kidd dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, he suddenly started to get the ball!

“wow~”

The audience suddenly exclaimed.

With 7 seconds left in the offensive time, Kidd took the ball and made a fake move to break to the right, and successfully tricked Roy. But in fact, Roy quickly turned to the left, and at the same time Kidd also passed the ball through Roy's crotch.

After getting the ball, Kidd directly pulled the ball and hit it.

Such a coquettish operation not only aroused the exclamation of the fans on the scene, but even Charles Barkley on the commentator's seat was so excited that he couldn't help but pat the table and shouted at Edward who was partnering next to him: "Man, have you seen it? Jason's beautiful appearance just now. He lived Brandon Roy. Haha, it was incredible that this 36-year-old guy could still do such a move."

"Haha, Brandon is still a little young. Jason's goal will definitely be the top ten goals this week. It's a pity that Brandon is going to be a background."

As they said that, the two began to feel a little sympathetic to Roy.

Kidd showed Roy's face directly in front of his home audience, which temporarily relieved his anger of being reversed in the last game. The home audience also found a little sense of existence in Kidd's operation this time.

Faced with this situation, if it were a star with a more popular temper and a bigger card, he would probably have a quarrel with Kidd.

But after Roy was shown, he silently walked to the bottom line and served the ball, giving it to Xue Ding.

Xue Ding saw the scene where Roy was shown just now. If he was shown like this away game, he would definitely return it without hesitation and continue to beat him until he was convinced.

After getting the ball, Xue Ding returned the ball to Roy and signaled that he would carry out the attack.

The other Trail Blazers players were also very sensible to open up space for Roy on the court, hoping that Roy could respond to Kidd's provocation.

At this time, the cheers of Mavericks fans were recalled in the American Airlines Center Arena.

“defense!defense!”

With the cheers of the audience, although other Trail Blazers players were actively creating mobile phone opportunities for Roy, the Mavericks players' defense had no loopholes at all. Everyone was running regardless of their physical strength, following their own defenders, and maintaining a good distance.

Roy took the ball and spared it for a while and did not make a good chance of making a phone call, so he passed the ball to Batum.

After receiving the ball, Batum stood outside the three-point line and raised his hand and shot!

Missed the front box, Xue Ding grabbed the rebound in the crowd.

But just as Xue Ding grabbed the rebound and was about to take a layup on his back, Kidd, who was standing aside, suddenly reached into Xue Ding's arms, trying to snatch the ball out of Xue Ding's hands.

Then the two of them were entangled together, and Xue Ding kept holding the ball tightly in his hand. Then both of them fell to the ground, but Kidd still had no intention of letting go of the ball.

Seeing this, the referee quickly stopped the game and signaled to compete for the ball.

The ball was then returned to the Trail Blazers, and Blake caught the ball and scored at the basket.

However, the confrontation between the two sides in the first two rounds planted a seed for this game.

After two offensive and defensive confrontations, the two sides played smoothly in the subsequent games, but the Mavericks kept the pace very slow and kept a stalemate in the score.

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Mavericks by two points away 22-20.

During the break between the festival, Prichard took the tactical board to draw a few tactics for the substitutes on the bench, telling them that when they are on the court, they only need to run out according to the tactics he draws, and at the same time, pay attention to communication with teammates when defending.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Pritchard only left one of Roy, the main players, to control the ball on the court, and the other four were substitutes.

The Mavericks adopted a three-down and three-up strategy, always keeping two main players on the court.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks began their first attack. Marion scored Marcus Cambi in the frontcourt, successfully scored two points and had a chance to get extra penalties.

Marion missed the extra free throw frame. Unfortunately, although Marion failed to hit the free throw, Danpier grabbed the rebound and scored directly at the basket.

The second quarter started with just one round, and in less than twenty seconds, the Mavericks played the Trail Blazers 4-0.
Chapter completed!
