Chapter 335: Welcome to Portland!

"I'll try it!"
It was at this time that Uncle Huo stepped forward, and indeed it was at this time that he could be the uncle Huo of Nowitzki, although he was 36 years old this year.
But after Ade was injured, only the height and weight of the entire Mavericks can match Nowitzki.
"I can barely top it for a while!"
Nicolas Batum came to Uncle Huo and said with a smile.
Pritchard saw that Uncle Huo and Batum both volunteered to stand up and were willing to take on the important task of marking Nowitzki. They could not help but nod their heads in approval.
Now that the candidate for marking Nowitzki has been determined, Pritchard then began to discuss tactics with Roy Miller and Xue Ding.
"The next game, I think the first thing we have to change is to speed up the pace of the game on the field, we have to run on the field, bring the rhythm on the field, and fight against the Mavericks' old fritters Any advantage!" Miller, the former assist veteran, said sharply.
Although the last game almost won, the Blazers fell into the Mavericks' pace in the second half.
"Andre is right, we must increase the speed next, let them run with us, whoever can control the rhythm of the game will be able to win the game!" Roy echoed.
Speaking of this, Pritchard looked at Xue Ding, who hadn't said anything, "Xue, do you have any ideas?"
"Brandon and Andre were right, we must speed up and beat our rhythm. I also agree with them. Another point is that I think we have to make more threes. Outside the line, our team has a lot of three-pointers, I believe they can throw the ball!"
Speaking of this, Xue Ding stopped and looked at Pritchard. Seeing that neither Pritchard nor Roy wanted him to stop, he continued.
"Only if we have enough threats from outside, will they be forced to expand their defenses so that Brandon and I will have a better breakthrough space!"
...
Returning to Portland's two-day break, Coach Pritchard did not arrange confrontation training, but just continued to practice tactics.
The day before the game, Pritchard even gave everyone half a day off.
After all, it is a huge test for everyone's physical fitness to win a victory in Dallas under such a shortage of personnel.
Nevertheless, after resting at home for an afternoon, Xue Ding decided to go to the arena alone to practice shooting.
CCTV broadcast studio
Yang Rui and Zhang Weiping, who served as the commentary for today's game at 8 o'clock in the morning, appeared in the studio early to do pre-match analysis for the audience.
"Director Zhang, do you think you can return to the Blazers' home today, the Rose Garden Arena, and the Blazers with the home field advantage, can the young guards play their rhythm and win Dallas at home?" Yang Rui asked.
Instructor Zhang said with a smile: "Actually, although the Blazers returned to the home court, their advantage is not that great. Although they only lost one point to Dallas in the last game, they can actually see the pioneering After the absence of Ade, the influence is still very big, so they think that although they have returned to the home court, they actually have not that advantage. The key to all this is whether they can find a way to limit Nowitzki!"
"It's true. I just looked at the figures of Nowitzki. He scored 36 points and was very efficient. Even if they lost the first game, Nowitzki's shooting percentage is also More than 50%!"
"So this game is really hard to say, but the Rose Garden Arena is also one of the NBA's major devil homes. Another point is whether the Blazers can score more three-pointers on the outside line. If their outside can play well, this game will really have a chance!"
...
The third game of the playoffs between the two sides was scheduled to start at 9:30 in the morning. Before the game, the major media began to build momentum for this game.
"Back to Portland, can the G3 Trail Blazers defend the home field!"
"Can Xue, who scored a quasi-three doubles in the last game, continue the fiery state!"
"Dallas people want to win streak, can the Blazers withstand the pressure!"
"Dirk threatened that the Blazers will not win any games in the future, will the Blazers give a strong response?"
...
Xue Ding, who played well in the first two games of the playoffs before the game, accepted a brief interview with the media.
It can be seen that Xue Ding did not affect his mood because of the defeat of the last game, and the state of the whole person looked very relaxed.
"Xue, back to home this time, do you have anything to say to your opponent?" a reporter asked.
"Welcome to Portland!"
Xue Ding said very aggressively to the camera. Obviously, he was full of confidence in the next game. He believed they would be able to face Dallas back home.
"Is there any special tactics against Nowitzki who played well in the last game?"
"Of course, but I can't tell you the specific plan, but I believe he will certainly appreciate the hospitality of our Portland people!" Xue Ding's words were full of gunpowder.
"A lot of people think that your performance throughout the playoffs has always been more stable than that of Brandon. You think that your pioneer is your team. You are the leader of this team. What do you think of it? ?" asked a reporter who thought he was clever with bad intentions. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu.com
Hearing this question, Xue Ding was obviously unhappy. He stared at the reporter fiercely and said, "Who are many people? I hope you will focus your attention on the game. Brandon is an excellent leader. We all trust him very much, and I believe he will use his performance to make'many people' shut his mouth in the next game!"
"Do you think you can finally win this series?"
"If you ask me this question, I will definitely tell you that we will win, but now that is not a problem we need to consider, what I need to consider now is how to win this game!"
After answering this question, Xue Ding ended the interview, approached the home dressing room of the Rose Garden Arena and changed into training uniforms, and began to stretch before the game with teammates on the sidelines.
Although the last game was eventually lost, but from their expressions, the Trail Blazers are still easy.
As Oden stretched, he made a joke with his teammates.
