The Cruelty of the NBA

The game site, the home of the Mavericks, the American Airlines Center Stadium.

After the warm-up at the end of the scene, according to the usual practice is the entrance ceremony of the home team players.

After the player channel, Dirk Nowitzki greeted Xue Ding specially.

"Hey Xue, very happy, we finally met in the playoffs." Nowitzki said with an iconic smile.

In response, Xue Ding also smiled and said: "Yes, but we will take a victory from here, Dirk, you have to pay attention."

"Haha, I will not let you succeed. This is the American Airlines Center, not the Rose Garden Arena in Portland. You can not only take a victory from here, on the contrary, we will definitely take two in the Rose Garden. Game." In response to Xue Ding's provocative response, Dirk responded unwillingly.

"Haha, is it? Then let's wait and see, I can't wait to stand against you on the court."

"Come on, lad, I will show you what the real playoffs look like, rookie."

...

Before the game started, Xue Ding and Nowitzki had already started to play in the player channel, but the two people talked and laughed so that others did not take it at all.

The time came to 9:29.

The starting lineup for the Mavericks is Dirk Nowitzki, Sean Marion, Eric Dampier, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd.

The Blazers' starting lineup is Xue Ding, Brandon Roy, Nicolas Batum, Blake and Chandler.

Near the center line, Dampier and Blake jumped the ball.

"Beep!"

With a low whistle, the referee threw the ball into the air.

Blake took the lead, grabbed the ball and passed it to Roy.

The Trail Blazers immediately passed the half. Roy took the ball twice and then gave it to Xue Ding, who wanted Xue Ding to complete the first attack of the playoffs.

Because after Ade is injured, the only stable scoring point in the Trail Blazers is Xue Ding, so Xue Ding should be found at the beginning of the game.

Xue Ding took the ball, Marion as the team's defensive vanguard, naturally the first to come up.

Marion pushed Xue Ding's lower abdomen in one hand and raised it in half, ready to take out the ball in Xue Ding's hand at any time.

Xue Ding took the ball and wanted to single Marion.

But when Xue Ding controlled the ball at the top of the arc to find a sense of rhythm, Kidd suddenly appeared behind Xue Ding, pulled the ball out of Xue Ding's hand, and then quickly started to the front court. He completed a two-on-zero match and Kidd received an assist.

Seeing Kidd snatched Xue Ding easily, the Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center Arena cheered, and even some fans who were entering the stadium saw this scene and couldn't help but cheer on the channel.

Because in their view, the opening score in this way is undoubtedly perfect, today this game is very promising to win.

After Xue Ding was stolen, Roy hurried over and comforted Xue Ding, saying, "Stay focused, this is not a big deal."

Then Roy handed it over to Xue Ding after halftime.

"Xue, believe in yourself and vote with confidence. Blake and Chandler will rebound for you." Roy encouraged.

Encouraged by Roy, Xue Ding took the ball directly to the middle and made a breakthrough, leaning on Marion to make a layup.

Unfortunately, the layup failed to score and was picked up by Nowitzki.

Nowitzki passed the ball to Kidd.

The Blazers quickly retreated to their own half, defensive position.

As one of the best point guards in today's league, Kidd directly found Xue Ding and wanted to play Xue Ding without looking for anyone after holding the ball after halftime.

Perhaps it was because the stealing of Xue Ding just that time increased Kidd's confidence.

Kidd dribbles slowly in front of Xue Ding, looking for opportunities.

After Xue Ding made a mistake and missed a shot, he already had some bad emotions in his heart.

Now Kidd took the initiative to hold the ball halfway to single himself, which made Xue Ding a little dissatisfied. I thought Kidd didn't take himself too seriously, although he didn't make two offenses, but this did not Does not mean that I am a soft persimmon.

Kidd showed off the dribble in front of Xue Ding, looking for a sense of rhythm.

Then suddenly pulled out his hand.

Xue Ding also jumped up at the same time.

Just as Kidd was about to shoot, Xue Ding vigorously covered the ball from Kidd.

After Xue Ding overturned Kidd's goal, the other players on the field hadn't had time to react. Xue Ding had already rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, and dunked directly under the Mavericks empty basket!

Xue Ding's deduction is a response to Kidd. He wants to tell him that not everyone can show acrobatics in them, and no one can show acrobatics in front of him.

After Xue Ding dunked the goal, the teammates on the bench of the Trail Blazers stood up and applauded, waving towels.

After Xue Ding finished the kick, when he returned to his own half-time back defense, he just had a face-to-face meeting with Kidd. Xue Ding walked into Kidd and said: "Jason, not everyone can shoot in front of me. "

Kidd glanced at Xue Ding and did not respond.

Then until the advertising suspension in the first quarter, the two sides did not make any achievements on the offensive end, it can be said that it is difficult to score one point.

Mainly because the Blazers have strengthened the rotation defense, the Mavericks have a hard time getting easy open opportunities.

On the Blazers side, www.wuxiaspot.com~ is mainly because their bad feel affects their scores.

Therefore, after the first half of the game, the two sides scored only 9 to 7, the Mavericks temporarily leading the Blazers by 2 points.

"It can be seen that the defensive intensity of the two sides came up at the beginning of today's game. Both sides did not score more than 10 points in the first six minutes of the game, which is relatively rare." In the CCTV studio, Su Qunjie said.

"Yes, the reason why the two sides scored so low, in addition to the defensive strength has improved, the shooting feeling of both sides is not good, especially Xue Ding, maybe it is the first time to play the playoffs, I feel he It's a little tight on the court, and I can't let go of my hands and feet.

You see, Kidd's steal just started, if put in the regular season, Xue Ding could not make such a mistake, and that layup, this is the player's tight performance.

I hope that Xue Ding can adjust through this suspension, he didn't score in the first half. Guidance Zhang said.

"Yes, now that the Trail Blazers are reimbursed for the season, only Xue Ding can count on the offensive end. Like other Chandler and Roy, it is more difficult to expect them to score more than ten points a game."
