Come back with a pause and the game continues.

This time Carlisle chose to let Nowitzki go off the court in advance and replaced Drew Guden.

Obviously, although Nowitzki scored eight points, his physical energy was consumed too much in the confrontation with Uncle Huo Er.

Carlisle wanted to give Nowitzkido some rest while he was still leading.

"Okay game continues, alas! When I came back from this timeout, Carlisle actually took Nowitzki down!" tnt commentator Dell Curry said in confusion as he looked at the players on the Mavericks' field.

"I think Carlisle should want to give him more rest time. Although he has scored points in the past 5 minutes, it can be seen that Howard has caused him a lot of trouble and his physical energy consumption is also very large!" Michael Joe said.

Xue Ding held the ball in the frontcourt.

Facing Kidd's defense, he suddenly accelerated and broke into the basket. Heywood, who was inside, was not allowed to come up to help Kidd assist in defense.

"Assistant Master (lv2)"

Xue Ding Yu Guang saw Batum cutting in from the right, and passed the ball through a crack.

Batum easily scored with a layup.

"Good ball, this ball is beautiful!"

"This cooperation is really good, and the timely pass of the ball with an empty cut is just right. Next, we need to see if the Trail Blazers can seize the time when Nowitzki is not on the court to catch up with the score!" said Director Zhang.

"Return to defense, hurry up and return to defense!"

Pritchard pointed at Butler who was secretly getting off the court and reminded loudly.

Just as he spoke, the moment Kidd received the serve from the bottom line, he passed it directly to Butler who was about to go down, and Roy chased after him desperately.

Butler flew and waved Roy to catch up, cleverly hit the time difference, and put the ball into the basket steadily.

"This ball is really inappropriate, it's too slow to retreat!" said Dell Curry.

"Hey, this ball is a bit inappropriate. After scoring the goal, someone even hit a counterattack! The Trail Blazers' alertness is a bit too low!" Yang Rui said.

"This kind of ball is too inappropriate. Giving the opponent a chance to score easily will have a great impact on morale. If the Trail Blazers have this attitude today, then their game will be very dangerous!" Director Zhang said worriedly.

"What are you all doing? Are you walking on the court? This is the playoffs!"

Prichard, who was very dissatisfied with his retreat just now, roaring at the players on the field angrily, venting his dissatisfaction.

Chandler gave the ball to Xue Ding at the bottom line.

Xue Ding carried the ball and advanced quickly. Roy took the cover to catch the ball. Xue Ding gave the ball out. At the same time, Xue Ding kept providing a cover for Roy.

"Swish!"

"Brendon! Three-pointer! Hit!!!" D shouted passionately with a long tone on the spot. As the ball passed through the net, the fans at the scene also burst into cheers.

Roy made a direct move from outside the three-point line, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air, hollowing into the net.

"Beautiful, Brandon hit the first three-pointer of the Trail Blazers in this game!" said Dell Curry.

“nie!”

"Roy took this ball very decisively. If I remember correctly, this ball should be the Trail Blazers' first three-pointer in this game!" Yang Rui said after looking down at the data.

"Yes, this ball should be the first three-pointer that the Trail Blazers hit today. What the Trail Blazers now need is to be able to hit the outside, so that they can force the Mavericks' defense to expand outside, so that they can open up the space!" Zhang Tutor Zhang analyzed.

Unfortunately, Roy's three-pointer did not continue their touch.

Batum missed three open three-pointers in a row from the bottom corners on both sides, and Roy also missed a top shot in the arc.

Fortunately, Nowitzki is not on the court, and the Trail Blazers' defense does not give the Mavericks too many opportunities to score easily.

The first quarter ended, 2 to 24!

The Mavericks are temporarily leading by 4 points.

"It's a pity that the Trail Blazers did not seize Nowitzki's rest time to catch up with the score. The Trail Blazers were still 4 points behind at the end of the first quarter, and Nowitzki got a 6-minute break in the first quarter. This is not good news for the Trail Blazers!" said Director Zhang.

"That's right, Nowitzki's absence was an opportunity for the Blazers to catch up with points, but they failed to seize this opportunity and the outside line has not been able to make a shot!" Yang Rui echoed.

"We have a short rest after the first quarter and will see the competition between the two sides in the second quarter!"

"Welcome back. The second quarter game between the two sides has begun. The Mavericks are temporarily leading the Trail Blazers in the first quarter. Let's see if the Trail Blazers can catch up in the next quarter, or the Mavericks can continue to expand their leading advantage!" Yang Rui said skillfully.

Both sides initially sent a rotation lineup in the second quarter, with the Trail Blazers having former assists on the bench, Andre Miller.

And to be on the safe side, Prichard kept Batum on the court.

The Mavericks let the chaos master Jose Barrea play the number one position, replaced the best sixth man Jason Terry, and left Butler on the court.

Obviously, although the Mavericks are leading, Carlisle is still very cautious.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Butler and Jason Terry made mid-range shots one after another, and Barrea also used his speed to break out to the basket and make a throwing shot.

The Trail Blazers also played back and forth with the Mavericks under Miller's organization.

Both sides clenched the score tightly.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Miller directed his teammates to run.

Oden suddenly lifted up to block Baria, Miller rushed into the basket with the ball, attracted double teams, and found Batum who slipped to the bottom corner on the left and split the ball out.

Batum received the ball and adjusted it, and shot the ball steadily from outside the three-point line.

The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and a hollow sound entered the net with a "swish" sound!

"Good ball, Nicholas!"

The moment the ball came into the net, Xue Ding, who was sitting on the bench, jumped up on the bench and applauded Batum on the sidelines.

"Oh, I finally got in. Nicholas finally hit his first three-pointer in this game. The Trail Blazers need his three-pointer too much!" Dell Curry sighed.

"As long as he can make three-pointers, the Trail Blazers will be much easier to play!" Michael Joe said.

34 to 32!

With Batum's three-pointer hit, the Trail Blazers also caught the score difference to only two points.
Chapter completed!
