"Batum finally made a shot. Now the score difference is only two points away. Next, it depends on their defense this round. If they can defend the opponent's attack this time, the Trail Blazers will have another chance to tie or even overtake the score!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"Indeed, the next time is the time to test their defense!" Director Zhang said, looking at the Trail Blazers player who was returning to defense with all his might on the big screen.

“defence,defence…”

At this time, the Rose Garden Arena also shouted defense, with a loud momentum. With the fans' calls, everyone in the Blazers were full of energy and followed their defenders tightly.

Baria holds the ball at the top of the arc.

Danpier suddenly brought up and gave Barrea a cover to block Miller.

Barrea quickly broke in with the ball, Miller and rushed over to chase after him, while Oden also helped to defend.

After Danpier covers, he disassembles and goes down, and Baria gives the ball in.

"Beep!"

The moment Danpier received the ball, Fernandez immediately took the action and chose to make a foul.

"There is no choice but to do this ball. Rudy can only foul. He has no way to defend himself by letting Danpier receive the ball from such a deep position. He can only choose a tactical foul!" Del Curry said with a smile.

"After all, the height and strength of the two are too different!" Michael Joe nodded and said.

At this moment, Carlisle chose to replace Butler with Nowitzki, and Nowitzki returned to the court early in the second quarter.

"Dike is on the court!" Michael Joe said to Nowitzki who slowly walked onto the court.

"Although Dirk was a bit early at this time, he got nearly six minutes of rest in the first quarter, so it was nothing to play early. The Mavericks' intention to replace Dirk is obviously to stabilize the situation!" Dell Curry analyzed.

Jason Terry served on the sideline, and Baria slowly moved to the top of the arc.

Nowitzki immediately came up to cover him, and Oden immediately changed defense with Miller.

Nowitzki was behind Miller, causing a dislocation. Barrea gave the ball over and then slipped towards the bottom line, leading the defender away.

Let Nowitzki and Miller form a one-on-one.

Nowitzki took two steps, turned around and leaned back and threw the ball easily over Miller's head.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the basket, and Camby took the rebound and stabilized the rhythm of the court, handed the ball to Miller.

The Mavericks retreated and quickly did not give the Trail Blazers a chance to fight back.

Miller slowly transported the ball through the half. Oden came up to provide a cover for Miller and immediately went down. Miller broke into the basket to attract defense and threw the ball over the basket.

Emperor Oden rose into the air.

"Boom!"

Miller and Oden completed an air relay.

"Greg, beautifully done!"

Xue Ding, Roy and others on the sidelines were also excited to cheer on the sidelines, and their teammates also started their exaggerated performances.

The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene was also ignited, and the joy was thunderous.

"Wow! Aerial relay, the Trail Blazers tied the score. This is also the first draw between the two sides in this game!" said the live commentator Dell Curry.

"The Trail Blazers' second team played well under the organization of Miller. Let's see how the Mavericks are doing in this round. Can the Trail Blazers continue to defend this attack!" Michael Joe said.

Danpier served at the baseline, and after receiving the ball, Baria suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the frontcourt.

"Baria rushed up, and the Trail Blazers obviously didn't expect Baria to accelerate suddenly!" Yang Rui said at the end of CCTV.

"Laps, score! Baria took advantage of the Trail Blazers' attention and directly completed a one-stop counterattack layup, helping the Mavericks regain a two-point lead!"

"The Trail Blazers are careless, why? In fact, Carlisle brought Baria up to disrupt the situation and disrupt the battle. Although he is not tall, he is really a good player in the battle!" Director Zhang said to Baria, who had just completed a one-stop layup.

"Beep!"

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Prichard immediately called for a pause.

"Guide Zhang, what kind of adjustment do you think Pritchard will make after this suspension?" Yang Rui asked.

"I think Roy or Xue Ding should be brought up, because why? Although they played well during this period, they actually did not have a strong offense, so I think Roy or Xue Ding would return to the court after the timeout!" Director Zhang analyzed.

When he returned to the sidelines, Prichard still emphasized the team's defense. It was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with the one-stop layup just now by Baria.

"Xue, Brandon, you two come on! Nicholas, Miller, you two come down and have a rest..."

Pritchard called out Xue Ding and Roy's names during the timeout. It was obvious that although the score difference was tight now, Pritchard was still very cautious.

Two minutes later, the timeout ended and the players on both sides returned to the court.

"I'm back from the timeout, the Mavericks also brought Marion up, and the Trail Blazers also made some adjustments, allowing Roy and Xue Ding to replace Miller and Batum!" Yang Rui introduced at the players who appeared on the big screen.

"We can see from the substitution between the two sides this time that both sides are very cautious!" said Director Zhang.

At the beginning of the game, Xue Ding slowly passed the ball through the half, and faced Barria's defense and rushed into the basket.

Although Baria's speed was following Xue Ding.

But it was still too difficult to defend Xue Ding, so Xue Ding broke into the basket and easily scored.

"Xue Ding saw that it was Baria who was guarding him in front of him. He was determined to get the ball and then fucked it directly. Although Baria was able to keep up with speed, her height and strength were much different!" Director Zhang said, looking at Xue Ding on the big screen.

"That's right, Baria's height and strength are at a disadvantage!" Yang Rui echoed.

"It's tied again. Let's see if the Trail Blazers can defend against the Mavericks' attack this time. If they defend against this ball, they will have a chance to overtake!"

Barrea passed the ball through half the game, and Nowitzki leaned against Oden.

Baria passed the ball in high hanging.

Nowitzki was not in a hurry to attack when he received the ball, and observed the Trail Blazers' defensive movements behind his back.

After confirming that no one came up to double-team, Nowitzki leaned back and started dribbling in, turning halfway around and shook Oden away.

He turned over and threw the ball steadily.

"Swish!"

The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and entered the net hollow.

Nowitzki was not ruthless and used his personal ability to score the ball and overtook the score again.
Chapter completed!
