The Cruelty of the NBA

Chapter 326: Immediately

Due to injuries this season, the Trail Blazers have limited available players. This has been exposed during the regular season. According to statistics, in the second half of the regular season, the Trail Blazers' bench scored the lowest in the league. The second one is second only to the Eastern Wizards.

  

   During the regular season, the substitutes did not perform well. As long as the point difference is not too large, Xue Ding and they can still recover the point difference.

  

   But in the playoffs, as long as the opponent catches your weakness, it will attack your weakness and let you drain your blood.

  

   This was the case in the last game. According to post-game statistics, when the Trail Blazers' substitute players were on the court, the Blazers lost 21 points per 100 rounds.

  

  The poor performance of the bench was the main reason why the Trail Blazers were long behind in the last game. If it was not the last time Xue Ding activated the system's Turtle Wrath skill, the Blazers can say that it is almost impossible to make a comeback.

  

   and Pritchard, as the head coach, naturally understands the shortcomings of his backup lineup, but it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, he can not always put his starting five on the field.

  

And Carlisle also knows this, so of the five players on the Mavericks at this time, except for Dampier, the other four are all able to shoot at the 3rd position, the purpose is to rotate the time as possible A lot of blazing trailblazers inside, creating kills.

  

   Carlisle's tactical change in the second game soon came into play. In the first minute of the second quarter, the Mavericks played the Blazers 6 to 0.

  

   was so angry that Pritchard called for a timeout.

  

When the players returned to the bench from the court, Pritchard couldn't help but shouted at the players who went off the court: "This kind of disaster-level defensive performance should only appear in the basketball game of primary school students, no, primary school students are all Better than your defense, this should appear in the games of the innocent children in kindergarten! But it will definitely not appear in the NBA game!"

  

   Faced with Pritchard's roar, no one dared to happen, including Roy, silently walked off the court and returned to the bench.

  

  Because Pritchard is not only the team's head coach, but also the team's general manager, if he gets angry, he may even lose his job.

  

  ……

  

"The Trail Blazers' bench is really terrible. It hasn't played much yet. The Mavericks played a 6-0. The Pritchard must make changes as soon as possible. The game is probably hanging." After seeing Pritchard call for a timeout, Yang Rui paused and said to the players on the court.

  

"I think you're right, the Blazers must make changes as soon as possible, matching a reasonable rotation between the bench and the main team, which can not only ensure defense, but also maintain their own offensive, but also ensure that each All the main players can have the corresponding time, otherwise, the Blazers are not only the game hanging, I am afraid that the entire series will be hanging." Zhang's comment is even more obvious.

  

   "Yes, I think it is appropriate to let Xue Ding play for a period of time at the beginning of the second quarter, or replace Xue Ding in advance in the first quarter..."

  

   "This method is good, but I don't know what the actual effect of using..."

  

  ……

  

  Taking advantage of this suspended space, the two began to advise the Blazers in the studio.

  

After the timeout, as expected by Zhang Zhang and Yang Rui in the studio, Pritchard replaced Xue Ding in advance, and Xue Ding played the entire first quarter, and only rested in the second quarter. Was sent to the scene within a minute.

  

  After Xue Ding returned to the field, the Trail Blazers had an immediate effect. After returning to the field, Xue Ding directly scored a three-pointer at the bottom left corner to temporarily stop the Blazers from bleeding.

  

   And the Mavericks are still just starting off the bench, Carlisle has a lot of confidence in his bench players.

  

What Carlisle did not expect was that after Xue Ding returned to the field, he faced the Mavericks' substitute players very well, and the Mavericks only had a Dampier inside to protect the basket on the court. Xue Ding could easily Passed an empty call to teammates.

  

  Xue Ding connected the offense very well on the field. For a time, the Mavericks' defense on the field began to appear chaotic, because you don't know who should mainly mark on the field. Xue Ding always finds the chance to play the ball at the most suitable time.

  

  After returning to the field, Xue Ding quickly returned a wave of 12-4 to the Mavericks. The score on the field came to 34-30.

  

  In the case of low scores in the first quarter, the two teams played a small climax in the opening stage of the second quarter.

  

   Carlisle quickly called a pause to adjust.

  

   The starters of both sides returned to the field. Pritchard temporarily replaced Xue Ding for the rest. The rest of the main force returned to the field. The two teams began a tug of war on the field.

  

  Xue Ding returned to the field after a two-point break, after the advertisement was suspended in the second quarter, and the main control of the ball guided the team's offense.

  

  With Xue Ding's assist, the Blazers scored three consecutive points on the perimeter and gradually took control of the situation on the field.

  

   At the end of the first half, the Blazers led the Mavericks 55 points to 46 points into the intermission.

  

   And Xue Ding played well in the first half, scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists data, already scored two doubles in the half.

  

When    took a break, in the forum, many netizens were already optimistic that the Blazers would win this game again because of the existence of Xue Ding.

  

   "Xue Ding really is the real thigh. After he returned to the court, the situation immediately became different, and he expanded his lead."

  

   "The cowboy seems to have to lose to Xue Ding again. What does Carlisle eat? Why not target Xue Ding's targeted defense? Such a game looks really unaffordable."

  

   "Xue Ding has cut down two doubles in the half, and waited for the game to come and blow a wave ~lightnovelpub.net~ to name the tongs, and came to dig grave after the game."

  

   "Carlisle is really a fool. Everyone else went to Xue Ding. He put the main force on the bench. As a result, Xue Ding was given in the penalty area and so many assists were sent. If this game is lost, he will definitely be the first one!"

  

  ……

  

   "The second half of the game started immediately, the players have returned to the court." Sina live broadcaster Xiao Xiong said.

  

   In the third quarter, the two sides tried their best. The Mavericks' first attack was scored by Nowitzki in the basket.

  

   Then Xue Ding received the ball and quickly rushed to the frontcourt, breaking through to the paint area, facing Heywood's defense relying on the latter's layup.

  

   "Beep!"

  

   Xue Ding fell heavily on the ground!
