"It's my turn!"

After Stockton went off the court, Ji Liang's position changed, and the power forward position was mentioned on the side, specifically against Ma Long.

The Nuggets' offense, Malone personally defended Chi Liang and wanted to push him out.

Ji Liang's center of gravity sank, made a back-to-back single, and suddenly passed the ball to Billups.

At the moment of passing, Ji Liang got rid of Malone and received a return pass from Billups again.

However, Ma Long's speed was not slow, and when he received the ball, he came to Chi Liang again.

Surprisingly, Ji Liang still did not attack, and chose to pass the ball again, using the ground to pass to McDyce.

It turned out that Ostertag made a mistake and was found by McDeis, and after Ji Liang's pass, McDeis only had to shoot.

Swish~

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the two slapped each other's palms and turned back to defend.

The Jazz's offense, Malone received the basketball again, he showed his elbow when he turned, and Ji Liang had to avoid it by retreating.

It was also at this time that Malone shot while jumping sideways after completing his elbow swing.

Swish~

Even if Ji Liang tried his best to interfere, he still couldn't stop Ma Long from shooting and scoring.

Turning around, McDyce held the ball with both hands, and after finding that there was no chance, he did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball back to Ji Liang.

Using his teammates to cover, Ji Liang escaped Ma Long's pursuit and passed the ball to McDyce again before Ostertag assisted.

Unguarded, all McDies has to do is put the ball in the hoop.

In the following time, even if Chi Liang looked at Ma Long, the effect was limited to better than McDyes, and it was still difficult to prevent Ma Long from scoring.

Ji Liang didn't make too many shots, but mainly organized the team; Unlike Ji Liang, as long as the ball is in Ma Long's hands, Ji rarely passes it out, and he alone occupies half of the team's shots.

In this case, the two sides again played a draw. However, as a price, Malone's physical wear was amazing, and in the eighth minute of the second quarter, he had to take a break.

Ma Long just got off the court, and the Nuggets were trying to take the opportunity to open the score, but there were unforeseen circumstances, not long after Malone got off the court, in the process of a shot, maybe he stepped on sweat, causing McDyce to slip and fall to the ground.

McDyce didn't stand up, but hugged his right foot tightly, a large amount of cold sweat continued to drip from the sides of his cheeks, but he didn't say anything, just sat on the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Damn, it's just one step away, why, why is there an injury at this time!"

McDyce knew very well in his heart that his bare foot was already injured, whether it hurt his bones or not, and he had to recuperate for a while.

It's a very important game, both for the team and for him. In order to beat the Jazz, he and his teammates put in a lot of sweat and repeated boring training tactics, and finally played 2:2, and he was injured at the critical moment, and his injury is likely to lead to the loss of his previous efforts.

The thought of not being able to play any longer, McDyes's heart was filled with grief and indignation, and his hands slammed the floor, making a dull sound.

"Antonio, don't do this!"

At this moment, Chi Liang stopped McDyce from harming himself, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't worry, we will do our best to win this game!"

"Everyone fights, and we have to win this game!"

"At this point, how can you give up so easily!"

"Until the last minute, the winner may not be known!"

At this time, the Nuggets players on the court gathered one after another, and McDyce's injury did not demoralize them, but stimulated their fighting spirit.

"You ...... So, I'll leave it to you later! ”

Looking at his teammates around him, McDeis raised his head slightly, not letting the tears remain, and then stretched out his right hand vigorously.

Shhh

When they shouted, a lot of boos followed, and Jazz fans were very excited after McDyes's injury, but now they felt bad and could only use boos to hide their panic and fear.

The next moment, Ji Liang, Billups, Fortson and Van Exel, who had just been substituted, all put their hands on the back of McDyce's hand.

"Nuggets, win!"

The five of them roared, full of confidence.

It was also at this time that the team doctor took off McDyce's shoes and socks, and saw a large bag swollen on the bare part of his foot, due to internal bleeding, the bruise accumulated into a lump, and I don't know if it hurt the bones.

At the strong request of the team doctor, even if McDyce was unwilling, he still got off the court. Judging from his injuries, I'm afraid he will have to recuperate for a while.

After the restart of the game, Ji Liang did not rush to score and was still organization-oriented as he had just been. Under his leadership, the Nuggets score rose rapidly.

On the other side, Stockton and Hornacek managed to barely hold the score.

The game on the court began to be anxious, but the overall trend was still in favor of the Nuggets, and almost all the points had to go through Ji Liang's hands, using his passes to tear apart the opponent's defense, which was more efficient.

As a result, the difference between the two sides began to widen.

"It's not easy to do!" On the Jazz bench, Sloan was also helpless, originally he thought that McDyce was injured and the Jazz could gain the upper hand, but he was still pressed down.

Fortunately, there is not much time, and Stockton and Hornacek are also old and strong, so they will not be too far apart by each other.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

52:57

With McDyce injured him, the Nuggets won by five points with little time left.

After returning to the locker room, Sloan began to lay out his second-half tactics.

The Jazz players were talking and laughing, giving a sense of winning in their hands, and they were well aware of how important McDice was to the Nuggets. Without McDyes, the strength of the Nuggets is bound to be greatly affected.

However, when they saw Sloane's serious expression, the Jazz players hurriedly restrained their smiles.

"Until the game is over, everything is still undecided, not to mention that we are still one side behind! Remember not to underestimate the Nuggets, even without McDyce, there are still Chi Liang and Van Exel! ”

In order to avoid the disdain of the players, Sloan couldn't help but admonish. For the Jazz, even if they lose McDyes, the Nuggets are not a weak team.

When Sloan was arranging tactics, in the away team's locker room, D'Antoni first boosted his morale, and then came to Chi Liang.

"Chi Liang, how do you feel?"

D'Antoni meant something, and Chi Liang knew it in his heart, nodded and said: "Coach, I'm in good shape, please arrange the tactics for the second half!" ”
