"Jose played this ball very smartly and did not break through to the end. Instead, he chose to throw in advance before Oden came back to defend!" said Reggie Miller, a commentator on the scene.

"That's right, after all, his height is so high that it's easy to be blocked off!" Barkley echoed.

As they were talking, Miller quickly passed the ball through the half, facing the defense, Baria signaled the others to pull it away.

Although Baria is very fast.

But his height is a flaw on the defensive end.

Miller suddenly accelerated and broke in. Obviously, the Mavericks also knew that Barria could not defend Miller, and just as Miller broke through, he also helped defend.

But Miller did not dive into the inside.

After two steps in, he suddenly stopped and jumped, and threw the ball over Baria's head.

Although Barrea had tried his best to jump up and interfere with Miller's shooting, he was too detrimental to his height, and his defense had no way to interfere with Miller's shot.

"Swish!"

Basketball enters the Internet!

"There is no way to do this ball. To be honest, Miller is a bit bullying. The heights of these two are too different. Although Miller is no longer at the peak, Baria really cannot defend against this!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said with a smile.

"It's indeed a bit of bullying, but in fact, basketball is a game of bullying people. The tall ones bully the short ones, the strong ones bully the thin ones, and the fast ones bully the slow ones. There's no way around this. This is the playoffs, and they all catch a weak point and fight to the death!" Director Zhang also laughed twice and continued.

After the Mavericks played in Barrea, the pace of the game on the court was obviously much faster than before.

On the contrary, the Trail Blazers' second lineup has slowed down slightly. After all, Howard and Chandler, the inside, are not very strong in running and jumping.

So when Baria increased the speed, the Trail Blazers could not keep up with the pace.

After the Mavericks sent the ball from the bottom line, Baria pushed the ball to the frontcourt at full speed, although Miller, Fernandez and Webster had retreated in time.

But Chandler and Howard obviously couldn't keep up with the pace.

The Mavericks seized the opportunity and played less in part. In the end, the Trail Blazers' defense was absent from one point, and Guden received a pass from Barrea from the basket and easily scored two points.

"After the Mavericks' rotation lineup came up, the Mavericks' rhythm was completely different from before. Their speed increased, but the Trail Blazers were a little unable to keep up with the Mavericks' rhythm!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said.

"You are right, because Chandler and Howard's movements in the second team of the Trail Blazers are a bit slow, and the Mavericks' sudden acceleration has caught them off guard!" said Director Zhang.

The situation on the field suddenly took a sharp turn, and Miller's several forced attacks on Baria were resolved by the Mavericks' timely assisting defense.

Coupled with their fast defensive rotation, the Trail Blazers' offense was a little uncomfortable.

Although the Trail Blazers' inside line has the height advantage of Chandler and Howard, they actually don't have many offensive methods at the basket, and they can only gain a strong position in the inside line or grab rebounds.

So the advantages of the inside line are not as big as that of the big one!

The Trail Blazers' offense suddenly became somewhat restrained, and several consecutive attacks failed.

When they came back, they were constantly counterattacked by the Mavericks using their speed advantage. In a blink of an eye, the Mavericks had already overturned the score.

"Beep!"

Just as the score was overtaken, Prichard immediately called a timeout!

"In the second quarter, I felt that the Trail Blazers were treated by others by others. In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers used their advantage in the speed of the small lineup to make the Mavericks unable to do anything about them, but in the second quarter, the Mavericks used their methods to teach their second team a lesson. This game is interesting!" Sina live broadcast room commentator Ke Fan said with a smile.

"You are right. In just the blink of an eye, the four-point lead was gone and two points were overtaken. I actually think Prichard's timeout was a little late. He should have called the timeout when he failed to attack and was beaten for the first counterattack!" said the commentator Mr. Ma.

"Teacher Ma is right. It feels like this timeout is a bit late, because the score has been overtaken by this time! So, Teacher Ma, what do you think the Trail Blazers will adjust next?"

"I think Xue Ding should be allowed to play early at this time. After all, Roy retired from injury. They can only rely on Xue Ding, and Xue Ding needs more time to stay on the court!"

The screen returns to the competition site, the pause time ends, and the game between the two sides continues.

The Trail Blazers indeed brought Xue Ding and Oden up after the timeout, and at the same time let Oterlow come on the field to replace Howard, but Prichard still let Batum and Miller take a little rest off the court.

After all, neither Batum nor Miller had much rest.

On the court, Xue Ding returned to the point guard position on the offensive end and partnered with Espanyol Fernandez in the backcourt.

"This time Prichard's substitution is also very bold. He still set up a small lineup in this situation. Obviously, they want to compete with the Mavericks for speed, and the pace on the field should be very fast in the future!" Teacher Ma said after seeing Prichard's substitution after the timeout.

"This is indeed a bold substitution, three people were replaced at a time! See how the specific effect is?" Ke Fan echoed.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Xue Ding held the ball at the top of the arc to organize the attack, and the teammates on the court kept running on the court.

However, the Mavericks' defensive rotation was also very fast and did not give the Trail Blazers any chance.

The ball turned around on the outside and returned to Xue Ding's hand, and Marion defended.

After Xue Ding lowered the center of gravity and changed direction continuously, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the basket with a cross step. However, Marion was very fast and was not thrown away by Xue Ding, and followed closely.

After suddenly reaching the basket, Drew Guden has also assisted in defense.

The Mavericks did not give Xue Ding any room to attack. At this moment, Xue Ding saw Otero, who had cut in at a loss, and passed the ball over.

Otero took the ball and started to make a layup.

"Bang!"

Just as he started with the ball, he suddenly felt empty in his hand! Baria suddenly took action and cut the ball in Otero's hand directly.

Baria took the ball and fought back quickly!

However, this time the Trail Blazers' retreat did not give him a chance to rush to the basket and make a layup easily. Soon Fernandez and Webster had already retreated and returned.

However, this time Baria did not choose to break through the basket, but stopped outside the three-point line.
Chapter completed!
