The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 347
"Shh!"

Fernandez was not relentless this time and hit this ultra-long three-pointer!
"This goal is a continuation goal. Fernandez scored a beautiful goal, with a 5-point difference! And this time it only took 5 seconds to attack the Blazers, and there is 1 minute left. The Blazers still have a chance , the suspense of the game is still there!" CCTV commentator Yang Rui said excitedly.

"This three-pointer is really critical. Next, let's see how the Blazers' defense is doing!"

"If we can defend this time and the Blazers can score quickly, then there is still a chance for this game!" Director Zhang analyzed.

After making the crucial three-pointer, Xue Ding and Roy came up to give him a high five, and made eye contact with each other. Fernandez nodded quickly.

The Mavericks sent the ball from the bottom line, and the Blazers suddenly began to press the defense all over the court.

Xue Ding and Fernandez suddenly double-teamed Kidd. At the same time, others also blocked his passing path, waiting for Kidd to play the ball.

But as a great point guard, Kidd seems to have expected the Blazers' sudden tight defense.

Without rushing, he easily resolved the Blazers' pressing defense.

The Blazers are not reluctant, after all, they haven't reached the point where they have to fight to the death.

After the pressing defense was broken and resolved, he quickly retreated to the backcourt and reorganized the defensive formation.

The Mavericks are not in a hurry to attack, and keep passing the ball on the outside.

Their goal is clearly to consume as much offensive time as possible, because now for the Blazers, the biggest difficulty in reversing the game is that there is not much time left for them.

With 7 seconds left in the clock, Nowitzki received the ball from the outside.

Facing Batum's defense, after the three threats, he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket.

Although Batum was a little embarrassed, he quickly followed Nowitzki's footsteps and did not lose his defensive position.

"Beep!"

Nowitzki rushed to the basket and suddenly stopped and jumped back and shot.

Batum, who tried his best to take off and wanted to block Nowitzki's shot, was called a thug foul and sent Nowitzki to the free throw line.

"I can't help this. After all, Batum is not as tall as Nowitzki. He has tried his best! Although Nowitzki's shooting touch is not very good today, you must know that fouling him at this time is equivalent to giving points. Give Dirk Nowitzki! He's shooting close to 95 percent from the line this season!"

"You're right. Although Dirk Nowitzki didn't shoot well in this game, his free throws are too stable. If he makes free throws into the Blazers this time, it will almost become smaller and smaller!" Director Zhang continued. .

After being called a foul, Batum ran to the referee with an innocent face, danced and complained, thinking that the defense just now was a good defense and there was no foul.

Pritchard also went to the referee to complain, thinking that the ball was not a foul.

But all to no avail, the referee did not change the sentence!

Nowitzki on the free throw line!
"This penalty allowed Nowitzki to get two free throws. If he made two free throws, Portland would only have a theoretical chance to win this game!" said the on-site commentator Michael Joe.

"You're right. When the referee called the foul, it meant the Blazers' game was over. It's basically impossible to chase seven points in less than 40 seconds!" Delcu Li shook his head and said.

"A miracle happens here! What if there is a miracle?"

"Of course, if the Miller moment and the Tracy McGrady moment reappear, then the Blazers do still have a chance!"

"Shh!"

As they spoke, Nowitzki hit his first free throw.

"Dirk's free throws are too stable, and then we will see if a miracle will happen!" Dell Curry said.

"Shh!"

Nowitzki made two free throws!

97 is better than 90!

The Mavericks lead by seven points!

"Beep!"

Just after delivering the ball, Pritchard called a short timeout.

Time passed quickly, the Blazers served in the frontcourt, this time Batum appeared on the sideline to serve, and everyone stood at the free throw line.

As the referee blew his whistle, everyone in the audience started running.

The Mavericks' defense was very good, and they didn't give Xue Ding and any of them a chance to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

Except Chandler.

Chandler is running to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and Batum passes the ball back and forth.

When the ball was sent out, Batum quickly entered the field and ran towards Chandler. Chandler made a cover for him sideways, and at the same time passed the ball to Batum hand in hand.

There are still nearly two steps away from the three-point line!
Batum catches the ball and takes off!
Super long three-point shot!

At this moment, as if the air had frozen, everyone at the scene was completely silent, only the "squeak" sound from the basketball shoes and the floor could be heard.

The ball slowly crossed a high arc in the air.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the front of the basket heavily and bounced out.

"Three-point shot directly!!!"

"Miss!!!"

"Rebound! Xue Ding grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Rudy in the corner. Rudy shook the corner and hit Butler. He adjusted and threw the ball!"

The live commentator shouted emotionally.

"Bang!"

There was another dull sound of hammering iron, but it was a pity that Rudy didn't seize this opportunity. Heywood and Marion under the basket were firmly stuck in their positions, and Xue Ding had no chance to grab a rebound.

Heywood took the rebound steadily.

With the last 36 seconds left, the Mavericks still lead by seven points.

"Beep!"

Xue Ding did not give up, and immediately rushed up to foul Heywood, sending Heywood to the free throw line.

"This foul is the best choice for the Blazers. Heywood should be the most inaccurate free throw on the Mavericks field. His season free throw percentage is less than 60%!" Yang Rui fouled Heywood in Xue Ding After that, I checked Haywood's free throw percentage for the first time.

"That's right, the next step is to see how Haywood's free throws go. If all free throws are scored, the Blazers will have no chance at all!" Director Zhang said.

"Bang!"

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Heywood was the first to shoot out under the boos and interference of the audience!

Heywood then adjusted his breathing and made a steady shot for the second free throw. The ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and landed steadily in the net.

Two free throws and one hit!
98 is better than 90!

"With 36 seconds left, it's too difficult to catch up with the 8-point difference, and the Trail Blazers have no timeout, so they have to dribble the ball to the frontcourt as soon as possible and then rush to shoot a three-pointer." OK!" Director Zhang said while looking at the score on the field.

"This game basically has no chance! In the history of the NBA, miracles such as the Miller moment and the McGrady moment have only appeared once! It is too difficult for the Blazers to catch up with 36 points in these 8 seconds. Already!" Yang Rui echoed.
