"After the game, everybody runs for me, Nick, get up to the tempo! Chi Liang, Eddie Jones is only 198 cm, 91 kg, throw when you have the chance, or low singles, I believe you can deal with him! ”

During the timeout, D'Antoni changed tactics.

Not only D'Antoni, but all the coaches have no good way to deal with O'Neal, so they can only hope to run to death and consume O'Neal's physical strength as much as possible.

O'Neill weighs nearly 300 pounds, although he is flexible enough, but with such a large body, the energy consumed is definitely more than ordinary people.

D'Antoni's tactics are no longer much different from the run-and-gun tactics, and since no matter what the defense, it has no effect on O'Neal, then continue to increase the tempo.

This time, Chi Liang's opponent is Eddie Jones, which is the same as Chi Liang's template, Scottie Pippen.

Jones is still very young, he is light, his style of play is mainly flowing, and he also has a tough defense, and he was selected as an All-Star and Second Team of the Year last year.

His style is similar to Kobe's, and he was once expected by the Lakers. Unfortunately, after Bryant became the starter, Jones's position was forced to move up and become a small forward.

In addition, the Lakers executives believe that Kobe Jones is more worthy of cultivation, and Kobe Bryant is improving rapidly, so they already have the idea of trading him, hoping to trade Jones for an All-Star small forward.

"Rookie, catch the ball!"

The Nuggets' possession of the ball, after holding the ball over half court, saw that there was no good chance, Van Exel's passed the ball to Ji Liang.

After catching the ball with both hands, Ji Liang put on a three-threat stance, Jones did not go up to grab it, staring at Ji Liang tightly, ready to take action at any time.

Without hesitation, Chi Liang raised his hands, lifted his body, and made a shooting motion.

Due to the difference in height and arm span, Jones hurriedly stood on tiptoe, but just as he was tiptoeing, Ji Liang immediately made a breakthrough as soon as he collected the basketball.

Jones hurriedly turned around to chase after the defense, his speed was very fast, and when he reached the edge of the penalty area, Jones began to parallel with Chi Liang.

Chirping~

Suddenly, Chi Liang stepped on the floor hard, and the soles of his shoes rubbed against the floor, and he turned to shoot the basketball.

Jones reacted a beat slower, and by the time he completed the 'brakes', he had already separated himself from Chi Liang by two positions, but he didn't give up, and also jumped up, hoping to interfere with it.

Brush~

The basketball hollowed into the net and gave the Nuggets two points.

By the time the Lakers attacked, O'Neal gave the ball to Jones after attracting the pack.

Jones was more rational and didn't have the idea of singles Chi Liang, flicked the basketball and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was in an empty position.

Kobe Bryant didn't give up the opportunity and made a successful shot.

"Nerve-wracking!"

Chi Liang shook his head, inexplicably envious of Kobe Bryant, O'Neal's ability to attract bags is too strong, and he can often produce empty seats. It's definitely a lot easier to play next to O'Neill.

At this moment, Lafrenz immediately chose to serve and passed the ball to Van Exel, who had already started.

The aging Harper tried to stop it, but was easily broken by Van Exel due to the difference in speed.

Bryant reacted immediately and quickly chased after Van Exel. Just as Bryant blocked, Van Exel immediately split the ball and passed it to Billups.

At this time, Billups was in the open position, but unfortunately he did not take the opportunity and the shot ended in iron.

In the process after that, the Nuggets' speed increased again, often completing the offense in less than ten seconds.

Unfortunately, the Nuggets have not yet mastered the essence of run-and-gun tactics, and their scoring efficiency is not high.

In such a situation, although the tempo has been increased, the difference between the two sides has not narrowed, but has a tendency to continue to widen.

16:24

The Lakers were very efficient, and by the time of the official timeout, the difference between the two sides had reached 8 points.

After the official timeout, the two sides tacitly sent a replacement.

Ji Liang is still on the court, and he is also the 'absolute core' of the bench lineup, and because of his excellent assist ability, the Nuggets bench is happy to give him the ball.

On the other side, Kobe Bryant continued to play, sweeping the bench lineup, trying to stabilize the point difference.

The Nuggets possessed the ball, and after holding the ball past half court, Corey Alexander passed the ball to Ji Liang.

Compared with before, the pace of the substitute lineup is much slower, mainly based on positional battles.

There's no way, Chi Liang's physical strength is limited, and he still has to keep his physical strength for his ultimate. In order to avoid excessive physical squandering, the rhythm was deliberately suppressed.

This time, the defense of Chi Liang was replaced by Rick Fox, who is also a backup small forward for the Lakers, but he is still inferior to Chi Liang in terms of height and weight.

Outside the three-point line, after receiving the ball, Ji Liang made a false movement to the right.

Fawkes hurriedly moved his footsteps, subconsciously moving a step to the left.

Compared to Jones, Fox's defense is significantly worse.

Fox's movements, which were instantly noticed by Chi Liang, pressed a little the floor, quickly broke through to the left, and in an instant, he was parallel to Fox and began to rush towards the penalty area.

"Oops!"

Fox hurriedly turned around, and while wrestling with Ji Liang, he wanted to stretch out his right hand to pull out the ball.

At the same time, Kobe Bryant also pounced on Chi Liang.

Without hesitation, Ji Liang immediately stopped, instantly let go of Fox, and raised his hand to make a shooting motion.

At this time, Kobe Bryant appeared in front of Chi Liang and immediately jumped up.

It's a pity that Ji Liang didn't have the idea of shooting, it was just a feint, using a ground-hitting pass to pass the ball to Stich, who was in an empty position.

Brush~

Stich seized the opportunity and threw the ball into the basket before the Lakers players could help defend.

"Six points short!"

On the way back, Chi Liang secretly said in his heart, his eyes were obviously much sharper, and he hoped to smooth out the difference as soon as possible before the main force came on the field.

The Lakers' offense, Fisher advanced with the ball, and just as he was facing Alexander, Chi Liang, who was not far away, suddenly rose up, appeared in front of Fisher in the blink of an eye, and cut to the basketball with his right hand.

Fisher reacted quickly, but Ji Liang's actions still surprised him, making him panic, although he protected the ball, but with both hands.

Fisher had no other options than shooting and passing.

But under the bag of Chi Liang and Alexander, Fisher had no chance at all, so he could only hold the basketball tightly.

In this case, Kobe Bryant secretly said something bad in his heart and hurried up to answer.

Syllable~

Fisher was about to pass the ball to Kobe, but his intention was too obvious, and he was immediately recognized by Ji Liang and cut into the basketball with one palm.

After the basketball was stealed, Kobe Bryant hurriedly crouched down and wanted to scramble for the basketball. turned out to be entangled by Chi Liang, and finally the basketball was grabbed by Alexander.
