188. King Silver Horn has a heart that can be killed! (6000 words please subscribe)

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Liu Xiu, Ruben Patterson, Travis Outlaw, Randolph and McDyess.

This lineup is already quite small. Good guy, the other team asked rookie Josh Howard to play power forward!

The referee blew the whistle and the game continued in the second half of the third quarter.

Liu Xiu caught the ball and dribbled it to the top arc, seizing the opportunity to release the ball. Randolph slid around the baseline to the left side of the basket, received the ball, and made a layup!

71 to 63, the Trail Blazers lead by 8 points.

Liu Xiu's fifth assist came strangely smoothly.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Mavericks speed up!

Josh Howard quickly retrieved the ball and served. Nowitzki, Finley, and Daniels quickly stepped down.

Nash received the serve and advanced quickly, and when he was close to the three-point line, he released the ball. Daniels received the second pass, and Nowitzki received the ball from the left sideline and shot a three-pointer...it went in!

66 to 71, the Mavericks chased the point difference to 5 points.

The rhythm is here!

After Nowitzki made 0 of 4 three-pointers, he scored his fifth three-pointer!

Liu Xiu received the serve and pushed forward to the frontcourt at a tight pace. Randolph continued to slide to the baseline. Nowitzki took it deeper and was closer to the baseline, limiting Randolph's space.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiu chose to break through, rolled Nash into the basket, and seized the opportunity for a layup. Nowitzki stepped on the baseline and fought against Randolph and was unable to make up. Liu Xiu succeeded in the layup, making the score 73-66.

.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack, and contrary to Liu Xiu, Nash was setting the pace.

After a sudden pass and cut, the ball came to Finley and then passed to Nowitzki on the baseline.

Nowitzki scored two points...hit again!

The Trail Blazers players knew trouble was coming.

Especially the old players who played in last year's playoffs...

In the first round of last year's playoffs, the Trail Blazers went from 0-3 to a 3-3 tie, and after the first three quarters of the tiebreaker, they led the Mavericks by 2 points, 73-71.

In the first three quarters, Nowitzki's shooting performance was ordinary. In the last quarter, the mad scientist played hard, letting Nash and Fan Fan play in singles. Nowitzki took turns in singles. Nowitzki made 5 of 7 shots in a single quarter and scored 12 points.

, led the team to score 36 points in the final quarter and defeated the Trail Blazers.

Tonight, in the first half of the third quarter, Nowitzki's shooting feeling has begun to improve, and the Mavericks can take their time.

But not the mad scientist! He can't stand it anymore.

Just give me some strong medicine!

Nowitzki already had enough shooting opportunities in the first two and a half quarters, but the mad scientist felt that it was still not enough. The first one and the fourth one started walking and created shooting opportunities for Nowitzki in two consecutive rounds. The brisk rhythm is also what Nowitzki has at this stage.

Ski likes it.

Nowitzki is on!

68 to 73, the Mavericks once again narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu broke through and was flanked by Finley. He passed the ball to the outlaw, who took a mid-range shot from the baseline... but missed!

Nowitzki carried Randolph to grab the defensive rebound.

In the past two seasons, Nowitzki ranked fourth in the league in defensive rebounds per game. Nowitzki often played 0 offensive rebounds in a single game, but his defensive rebounds were outstanding.

Nowitzki passed the ball to Nash and immediately went down quickly. Nash was very comfortable in the game when he ran like this. He passed the ball while advancing. Josh Howard received the ball and passed it back. Nowitzki followed up and received the ball in the high post.

The Blazers came back from defense and immediately pressed on Nowitzki. Now he couldn't let go. Nowitzki caught the ball and passed it again. Daniels cut in from the left to catch the ball and flew for a layup...

The shot came out of the frame and Josh Howard rushed to grab it...Liu Xiu got the defensive rebound first.

Defensive rebounds 11 to 9!

Liu Xiu pushed himself into the frontcourt. When he saw the outlaws cleverly moving closer and making continuous long-range shots, he used his athletic ability to rush into the frame... Two high school students came one after another. The most junior high school student felt oppressed.

Yes, the progress is obvious!

However, in this way, the Trail Blazers' advantage is greatly weakened.

The biggest problem on the defensive end of the first and fourth small teams is their weak frame protection ability. The offensive zone of the lawless maniacs is close to the inside line, which will inevitably bring the defender to that position.

Liu Xiu broke through and took a step inside the free throw line, stopped for a jump shot...

The movements are impressive, but that's all. The jump shot is perfect!

Nowitzki got stuck, Josh Howard grabbed the defensive rebound and advanced directly.

This time it wasn't a fast break, but the Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers before they could gain a foothold. Nowitzki contained them, and Josh Howard passed the ball to Nash. Nash cut in to catch the ball and made a layup!

70 to 73, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

When the Trail Blazers attacked, Liu Xiu controlled the rhythm well and did not delay it deliberately. He pushed it to the speed that their team was accustomed to. Randolph asked for the ball, faced Nowitzki in singles, faced the frame and took the initiative to back up again.

Then he turned around and made a layup against Josh Howard who came in...

Randolph succeeded in a one-on-two close-range attack!

75 to 70, Randolph helped the Trail Blazers stabilize the situation.

The Trail Blazers retreated quickly and finally secured a positional battle.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash scored suddenly, and Nowitzki reached the high post on the right side of the free throw line.

This is the territory that Anthony Walker has been competing with Nowitzki before the All-Star Weekend. So far in his career, Nowitzki has averaged 1.8 assists per game in this area.

Nash passed the ball to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki passed the ball to Finley, who caught the ball and shot...missed!

Two rookies, Josh Howard and Daniels, rushed to grab the ball. Randolph saw that he was facing a disadvantage in protecting the board. Another rookie rushed inside, fiercely pushed away Josh Howard, and grabbed the rebound first.

Liu Xiu’s 12th defensive rebound tonight!

Actively shrinking to grab the board - his teammates got in position to help grab the board - immediately shrinking and risking his life to grab the board, Liu Xiu's attitude towards grabbing defensive rebounds changed again.

This guy is so ruthless that the two Ugly players in Dallas, who consider themselves very ruthless in playing basketball, are ashamed of themselves.

But seeing Liu Xiu looking so good-looking even though she gritted her teeth, Dallas was so unhappy about being ugly.

People are more irritating than others!

Liu Xiu protected the board, Randolph was fierce on the offensive end, and the Trail Blazers stabilized the situation slightly.

And in the next few rounds, the two led the team to deal with the Mavericks, but did not allow the Mavericks to really narrow the point difference.

At this time, the mad scientist calmed down, sat on the sidelines, and stopped yelling.

Because his artifact, his big baby, is treated better by him than his own son Nelson Jr., Nowitzki is back in form!

Nowitzki, who is closer than his own son, and Nash, who is the second closest relative, are both in great condition. Who is he, the mad scientist, afraid of?

Anthony Walker was traded away, and Jamison was so good at getting things done, Nelson felt like his time had finally come.

But I beg Cuban to stop messing around.

Skip him and bring back Jamison and Anthony Walker. Although it's basically a waste of time, he doesn't like power forwards who go inside and prefer floating shots. He, the mad scientist, only likes Nowitzki.

The Trail Blazers relied on Liu Xiu to lead the team on the defensive end and fought hard, relying on Randolph's offensive end and the opponent's hard steel to prevent the Mavericks from showing momentum and taking advantage of the situation. They immediately reversed the disadvantage in the score. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers

83 to 79 lead!

Liu Xiu had 14 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists, and Randolph had 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The two were replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter to rest.

The main reason was that Randolph needed to rest, so he rested for 9 minutes in the second quarter. In the first three quarters, he was responsible for the main offense, blocking positions, and rushing for 27 minutes.

Now his pressure is different from before. The Trail Blazers really can't do without him inside!

But on Nowitzki's side, the pressure to play is really much less.

There are only two things he should do, protect the defensive rebounds, catch and shoot or pass the ball, no more! Playing from the back tonight, he won't even have to play singles!

In the final quarter, the Trail Blazers replaced the core combination of Flying Squirrel and Harrington, with Wesley Person, Miles, and Dale Davis partnering with the two.

The Mavericks' Nash and Nowitzki continued to play, and Finley, Edondo Najera, and Jamison came on the court.

Edondo Najera is another high-quality role player. He doesn't play much time, but he performs very well and is good at rushing. Last season, he averaged 6.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. This year, the small forward position is occupied by two newcomers.

Yes, the first half of the season was abysmal, but things picked up after the All-Star break.

After the last quarter of the game started, the situation was different from the second quarter when the Flying Squirrel and Harrington led the team.

The two of them were not in poor condition because they rested for too long.

I have to say that Harrington is really suitable for their Trail Blazers. Harrington's ability to support and organize offense is better than Tianzun.

He and the little flying squirrel are also considered as bastards looking at mung beans. They have a similar odor and appreciate each other.

But at the beginning of the final quarter, Nowitzki opened up the space and hit two consecutive wing shots, providing strong support for Nash and Jamison's pick-and-roll offense.

The little flying squirrel and Harrington work well together and are excellent, but Nash and Jamison are two top players, as well as Nowitzki, a superstar!

This time, it’s just right!

In less than 4 minutes, the Mavericks went on a 13-8 run, leading the Trail Blazers by 1 point 92-91, stopping the Blazers!
