Chapter 336: Bad Start
Everything is ready on the spot and the competition is about to begin.
"Gentlemen, ladies, the third game of the Trail Blazers and Mavericks playoffs is about to begin, let's welcome the Dallas Mavericks players to the court!"
"Jason Kidd!!!"
"Shaan Marion!!!"
......
"Deknowitzki!!!"
DJ on the scene was full of passion and shouted out the Mavericks' ace player. Dirk Nowitzki, who was the finale, appeared on the court, surrounded by the Mavericks, trotted all the way.
Next is the time for the home team Trail Blazers.
"Nicolas Batum!!!"
The first name DJ called out at the scene was the Frenchman's name. Batum slowly ran out of the player passage amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans on the scene.
Next appearances are Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez, Steve Black...
Under the introduction of DJ on the scene, the Trail Blazers players ran out of the player channel one after another, and the fans on the scene gave the home team players the warmest cheers.
"Andre Miller!!!"
"Xue!!!"
"Brendon Roy!!!"
Xue, Lao Miller and Roy made their final debut, and the cheers from the fans at the scene reached the extreme, and it lasted for a long time before slowly calming down.
"I can't wait to watch the third match of the double rebels. I believe that both sides will definitely present us a wonderful showdown!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.
"Yes, this will be a wonderful showdown. From the expressions on the faces of the Trail Blazers players, we can see that their whole state is quite relaxed and has not been affected by the loss of the previous game!" Director Zhang said, looking at the Trail Blazers players on the big screen.
A netizen from Hupu also Hupu opened a voting post, "The Mavericks are coming in a fierce manner. Can the Trail Blazers withstand the pressure to defend their home glory?"
After the post was posted, netizens quickly voted and left messages, which instantly became a hot post and appeared on Hupu’s homepage.
"The Trail Blazers are mighty, I believe that the Trail Blazers will definitely win this game at home!"
"The Trail Blazers will win!"
"Brother Ding is mighty, the Trail Blazers will win!"
"It must be a pioneer! Let's shout those five words 'Trail Blazers Championship'!"
"The Trail Blazers Championship!"
"Front row Mavericks fans come to report, come on, driver!"
......
As of the start of the game, this post attracted 4,000 votes from netizens, of which more than 3,400 voted for the Trail Blazers, and the Mavericks received only more than 500 support.
As time went by, when the pointer approached 9:30, everything was ready in the CCTV studio and the game was about to break out.
"Dear viewers, this is CCTV. What you are seeing now is the third game between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks in the first round of the 2009/10 playoffs. The game is about to begin. Let us follow the camera to the game scene!" commentator Yang Rui said proficiently.
At the game site, Chandler had already arrived at the middle of the stadium to prepare for jumping the ball.
"The game has begun. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides in this game. The Mavericks continued the starting lineup of the last game, organizing guard Kidd, shooting guard Butler, small forward Marion, power forward Nowitzki, center Haywood!"
"The Trail Blazers' starter Xue Ding, Brandon Roy, Nicholas Batum, Zhuwan Howard, Tyson Chandler! Today the Trail Blazers made adjustments and brought Uncle Huo Er to the starting lineup to see how the effect is!"
The referee blew the whistle to the start of the game and threw the ball high into the air. Just as the basketball flew to the highest point, Chandler and Heywood jumped high at the same time.
"Bang!"
Chandler jumped and slapped the ball to Batum in the air.
Batum took the ball steadily, and the Mavericks retreated quickly. Batum was not in a hurry and found Miller and passed the ball over.
"This time I jumped the ball, the Trail Blazers won the first ball rights in this game, and the ball was handed over to Xue Ding to organize it!"
Xue Ding slowly passed the ball through half the game, and Kidd defended it.
It was obvious that the Mavericks did not intend to let Marion guard Xue Ding at the beginning, but instead hugged Brandon Roy tightly.
Xue Ding kept using the ball under his crotch, and his teammates all opened the space for him.
Kidd opened his hand and stood in front of Xue Ding, not daring to relax at all.
However, Xue Ding did not intend to shake him away, and he had only one idea when facing Kidd and Xue Ding.
Strong attack!
Xue Ding suddenly changed direction and accelerated!
Carrying the explosive bag, he went straight into the basket. Kidd obviously couldn't keep up with Xue Ding's speed.
Xue Ding broke into the basket and forced a layup against Heywood's defense.
"Beep!"
Although the ball was not scored, it caused a foul by Heywood.
Xue Ding stood on the free throw line.
"Bang!"
The first penalty box pops up.
"Jue Ding's touch seemed a little cold at the beginning of the game!" said Dell Curry, who served as the live commentator of TNT in this game.
"Clang!"
The second free throw bounced on the basket and finally fell into the basket.
Xue Ding got the first point of the Trail Blazers through free throws. The fans who had been standing on the spot since the beginning of the game then sat down.
"It can be seen that at the beginning of the game, Xue Ding seems to have not found the feel of the shooting yet. This is not good news for the Trail Blazers. He must find the feel as soon as possible!" Director Zhang in the CCTV5 studio said with some concern.
The Mavericks attacked and Kidd slowly passed the ball through half.
It is obvious that they continued their strategy in the previous game and planned to slowly grind their positions with the Trail Blazers.
Nowitzki leaned against Uncle Huo who was guarding him at a forty-five-degree angle. Kidd passed the ball over, and Nowitzki directly bounced out.
The golden rooster was independent and threw the ball steadily.
The basketball drew a high arc in the air, and entered the net with a "swish".
"Wow! Nowitzki seems to continue the hot touch of the last game, and the signature moves of the Golden Rooster will be independent and open!" said Director Zhang.
"Nowitzki's move is really incomprehensible. No one can affect his move at all. Whether he enters or not depends entirely on his own personal touch!" Yang Rui echoed.
The game continued. After Xue Ding scored a free throw at the beginning, the Trail Blazers seemed to have been suddenly cast as if they were spelled, and the whole team was silent and fell into a scoring drought.
In the next two minutes, Chandler failed to seize even the opportunity to have almost empty space at the basket.
Chapter completed!
