Although Xue Ding returned to defense quickly enough and intercepted Griffin as soon as possible, Davis, as a defender, also got on the way. Faced with this two-for-one situation, Xue Ding was also in a dilemma.

While Griffin was using the ball to restrain Xue Ding's defense, Xue Ding knew that he would definitely assist Davis in the bottom corner, but there was no way, so he could only choose to defend tightly, because if Davis made three-pointers, he could also bet on the shooting percentage, but if Griffin was put on, it would be a dunk.

There are two possibilities, the only way to choose the one that is the easiest to achieve the effect.

Sure enough, Griffin faced Xue Ding's defense and passed the ball in the air after taking off. Davis received the ball and made the first three-pointer after coming on the court in the second half.

After winning, Davis raised his arms excitedly and began to bring up the rhythm on the field.

Xue Ding has been hit by the attack for a while. After finally defending, the Trail Blazers' offense has problems. He seized the opportunity and opened the score. The home fans were so crazy that the home atmosphere rose again, which had been sluggish for a while.

Prichard immediately called a timeout to stabilize the morale of the army and not let the opponent fight too smoothly, destroy the opponent's rhythm, and make new tactical arrangements at the same time.

There are 5 minutes and 20 seconds left in the third quarter, with a score of 52:58, and the Trail Blazers are 6 points behind.

The score difference is not very big. The key is that the score difference of 6 points is the Trail Blazers' offense that they are fruitless and are scored by the opponent when they seize the opportunity to play fast breaks. It can be said that they lose points and lose momentum.

Xue Ding took the ball and landed at 45°. When he saw that the Clippers were still following the 3-2 defensive mode to focus on defending the outside line, he knew very well that he wanted to continue to limit himself. He passed the teammates just now, but he did not score effectively. The opponent definitely thought the effect was good, so he continued to force himself.

Xue Ding was unmoved. Since his teammates were not good at playing well, he would have to do it directly. Otherwise, if he could not score goals in these few rounds and let the opponent succeed, the psychological advantage that he finally brought back would definitely collapse.

Faced with Griffin's constant harassment, Xue Ding directly opened a little distance, directly used Irving's dribbling method, shaking it greatly, and changing rapidly according to the opponent's rhythm and position.

Griffin immediately couldn't keep up. Although his speed and explosive power were good, he was immediately unable to withstand it as soon as he was brought into this fast changing rhythm.

Xue Ding changed two times, then he got rid of Griffin. Facing Smith's backup defense, he turned around and bypassed. Everything happened too quickly, and Davis had no time to react.

Xue Ding, who entered the inside, was completely unstoppable once he entered his own rhythm. He started to jump in the free throw line and leaped straight into the basket. Not only did Camby need to give way, but even his teammate Chandler subconsciously avoided it.

Grabbing the ball with one hand and easily slashed it. After landing, Xue Ding slapped his chest hard, expressing his passion.

Seeing Xue Ding's relieved attack, the other teammates swept away the haze of being unable to score just now and ran over to celebrate with Xue Ding. Xue Ding obviously felt that his teammates' mentality was also relaxed with his goal.

Feeling this, Xue Ding became more determined in the future strategy, strengthened defense, and at the same time strengthened his own offense. The Clippers have the advantage of the home court and when they perform well, they form a side, and then they must adopt an offensive strategy that breaks the side with a point.

Davis dribbled the ball through halftime and faced Batum's defense and directly changed directions and shook it. The dribble actually seemed very confident and the rhythm.

Ade quickly came over to make up for defense. This time Davis learned his lesson and did not rush into the inside line in a hurry. Instead, he immediately lowered his speed and kept retreating, leading Ade outside.

I don’t know if I knew the Trail Blazers’ defensive intentions or if I was worried that Xue Ding’s amazing bounce in the inside would block him again. Davis’s sudden slowdown and dribbling made Ade a little confused. He didn’t know whether to enter or stay in place to defend.

When Xue Ding saw this, he was ready to remind Ade to keep his defense line and not to follow him, but it was too late. Ade hesitated for a moment and followed him.

Before Ade could fully press up, Davis quickly changed direction and accelerated to break through to the inside again. Ade was unable to change speed and lost the center. Davis rushed in easily.

Xue Ding quickly made up for defense, but facing Davis, who had already started and rushed up at high speed, he could only make symbolic interference and not have too much physical contact, because unless this contact was a complete block, it would be a foul.

Davis made a dunk without crossing Xue Ding's defense.

Davis seemed extremely excited amid the cheers of home fans.

"Ade, you can't lose your position. Your main function is to delay, and then to interfere."

Xue Ding quickly ran up and communicated with Ade as soon as possible. According to his defensive intention, as long as Ade is active in his own area, it can delay the situation if he wants to shoot. If the opponent wants to shoot, it can interfere, but the premise is to be in his own area.

Because in his own area, he can move forward and retreat freely. Davis just now lured Ade out of his own area. Once the opponent breaks through the direction, under the rhythm of attack, the inside defense personnel have no time to react, and they cannot stop him.

Therefore, Xue Ding must communicate with Ade as soon as possible, clarify the strategic significance of his defense, and cannot be easily mobilized by his opponent.

Ade said that he understood and would not be too aggressive in the future.

Xue Ding came to the half with the ball, and Griffin quickly rushed up. Although he had successfully made a breakthrough just now, the opponent obviously did not think that this was a normal situation, so he continued to encircle according to the previous defensive strategy.

After seeing that Griffin came up this time, he became more careful. He did not keep too close to him. He only placed a buffer distance of half a step, leaving enough room for defense prediction.

Xue Ding quickly accelerated the dribbling rhythm and released a strong breakthrough signal. Griffin also focused on Xue Ding's every move.

Seeing that Griffin had completely entered his own rhythm, Xue Ding suddenly accelerated and broke through from the right. Griffin quickly filled in. As soon as he moved the center of gravity, Xue Ding quickly retreated backwards to dribble, and the two of them instantly opened two steps away.
