Chapter 47: Continuous Capping

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two sides tacitly sent substitutes for the main players to rest.

In this lineup, Ji Liang controls the ball, and is also equipped with Clark, Fortson, Stich and Alexander.

According to D'Antoni's tactics, try to slow down the pace and avoid losing too much energy.

On the other side, Schramf continued to play, plus Hawkins and Ellis, and didn't want to give the Nuggets a chance to comeback and win.

According to NBA rules, the Nuggets jumped the ball successfully in the first quarter, so the ball in the fourth quarter was in the hands of the Nuggets.

Under D'Antoni's arrangement, Clarke and Fortson sat in the restricted area, and Chi Liang returned to playing small forward.

After the start of the game, Alexander held the ball past half court and passed the ball to Ji Liang, and his opposite player was naturally Schramf.

Chi Liang stood outside the three-point line, Schramf spread his hands, his center of gravity sank slightly, and he was one step away from Chi Liang to prevent Chi Liang from breaking through.

Even if the dynamic vision was turned on, due to the slightly poor feel of this game, Chi Liang finally chose to block and dismantle, and using Fortson's cover, Chi Liang completed the breakthrough and rushed straight towards the penalty area.

At this time, Stepania hurried forward.

With Stepania in front and Schramf chasing after him, Chi Liang immediately chose to divide the ball and passed the ball to Fortson with a ground pass.

Fortson jumped on the bandwagon and scored with an easy dunk.

Most of the offense in basketball games is relatively simple, mainly based on the cooperation of players, taking advantage of the opponent's untimely follow-up defense to form an opportunity to shoot or directly attack the basket.

Just like the scene just now, with Ji Liang attracting the defense, Fortson took advantage of the situation and scored easily without defense.

The whole process seems simple, but as long as there is a deviation in one link, there is a possibility of mistakes.

The supersonic offense, Chi Liang obviously felt the difference, the opponent's rhythm was not in a hurry, but the intensity was obviously greater, and he wanted to quickly consume the physical strength of the Nuggets players.

Although most of them are benches, the Nuggets' roster depth is seriously lacking, and Clark, Fortson and Stich have all played more than 20 minutes of playing time, coupled with back-to-back relationships, they have gasped for breath and their form has obviously suffered.

However, this does not include Chi Liang.

Due to the malicious foul, Chi Liang also played for more than ten minutes, and he was also the most energetic player on the field.

With the help of a teammate's cover, Schramf temporarily shook off Chi Liang and then received a pass from Hawkins.

It's a pity that Schramf was calculated by Chi Liang.

At the moment when Hawkins passed, Ji Liang broke out with all his strength and pounced on Schramf.

Under Schramf's surprised gaze, Ji Liang's right hand cut into the basketball and completed the steal in an instant.

The basketball bounced off the ground and was grabbed by Stich. Stich immediately grabbed the basketball and rushed to the front court.

Hawkins reacted quickly and hurried to catch up as fast as he could, his speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he was parallel to Sticky.

Stich didn't stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to Ji Liang.

After receiving the basketball, Ji Liang adjusted a little and jumped to shoot before Ellis pounced.

Swish~

There was no accident, and the basketball went into the net in response, and there was a wave of net flowers.

88:81

After hitting a three-pointer, the margin went from double digits to single digits, and only seven points remained.

"Hawkins, pick up the pace!"

At this time, Coach McMillan, who was standing on the sidelines, shouted loudly, he sensed the exhaustion of the Nuggets players and wanted to crush them as soon as possible.

Under McMillan's command, Hawkins significantly increased the pace of his advance and opted for a breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, Hawkins and Alexander completed the parallel, the speed was raised again, and the breakthrough was successfully completed.

Alexander hurriedly turned around and wanted to chase Hawkins, and it was at this time that he was stunned to find that Hawkins no longer had a basketball in his hand.

Outside the bottom corner three-point line, Ellis received the ball with both hands, and at the same time as Hawkins broke through, Ellis just ran out of the open space and received a pass from Hawkins.

Without hesitation, Ellis jumped and shot.

Ellis's three-point accuracy is also his biggest strength, in the previous games, Ellis averaged 4.5 shots per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 43%.

The most speechless thing is that the three-point shooting rate of this product is almost the same as the two-point shooting rate.

But at the moment when Ellis shot, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and Chi Liang appeared in front of him, taking advantage of his height and arm length, and successfully took off the basketball.

The nearest players rushed to the basketball, and finally Hawkins touched the basketball first, and in the hurry, he passed the basketball to Schramf.

Due to the chaos of the scene, Schramf was temporarily vacant and hurriedly jumped up to score a shot.

As a result, Ji Liang rushed up again, and under Schramf's horrified gaze, he completed the block again.

This time, Clark grabbed the basketball and then transferred the ball to Ji Liang.

The supersonic players returned to defense quickly, Chi Liang couldn't find a chance to attack quickly, and he also didn't want to attack quickly, his teammates' physical fitness was in danger, in order to slow down their attrition, they mainly focused on positional warfare.

After holding the ball for half time, Ji Liang began to grind the time and control the rhythm.

Suddenly, Chi Liang grabbed the ball with both hands and lifted it up violently, Schramf did not doubt it, and hurriedly jumped up, but Chi Liang passed the ball to Clark with a Buddha worship action.

At this time, Clark, his opposing player was just blocked by Fortson, temporarily vacant, and extremely close to the basket.

"Not good!"

Stepania rushed to Clarke, but there was no time to watch Clark step forward and score with both hands.

After chasing seven points in a row, the Nuggets were obviously demoralized, and their defense was much more active, temporarily suppressing physical exhaustion.

In the next round, the SuperSonics were still dominated by a fast pace, and finally ended with Ellis's three-point shot under Steich's defense.

At the moment when the basketball smashed into the rebound, Chi Liang took the first step to detect the rebound trajectory of the basketball and stood in position as quickly as possible.

Not out of Chi Liang's expectations, the basketball really bounced in that direction, and by the time the others reacted, Chi Liang had already stuck in the position, lightly stretched his ape arm, and grabbed the rebound.

At this moment, Ji Liang used his crotch to dribble, easily avoided Hawkins' gambling steal, and then violently increased his speed and rushed to the front court first.

After halftime, Hawkins chased up again, Ji Liang did not stick to the ball, immediately transferred the basketball, and finally Stic hit the shot.

Steich's shooting is average, relying more on the feel, giving people the feeling of a nerve knife, but in this game, Steich's hand is very good, and he has scored 13 points.

was chased by the opponent for 9 points in a row, McMillan's expression was naturally very ugly, and he had to call a timeout, wanting to redeploy his tactics and disrupt the Nuggets' feel by the way.
