Chapter 271: Two Pairs in the First Section
Feeling the touch of his fingertips, Ji Liang couldn't help but smile, and under his influence, the flight trajectory of the basketball changed.
"Rebound!" At the moment of landing, Ji Liang immediately reminded his teammates to protect the defensive rebound.
I don't know if I was too nervous, O'Neal Jr. didn't get stuck in the first place, and was grabbed the best position by Pollard.
By the time O'Neal Jr. reacted, Pollard had already grabbed the rebound, then jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket.
At this moment, little O'Neill became the backdrop!
โsorry๏ผโ O'Neill Jr. knew he had made a mistake.
"It's okay, Jermaine, you're too nervous, don't let off-the-court factors affect your form! Well, it's time to serve! โ
For little O'Neal, Chi Liang is not easy to blame, he patted him on the shoulder, hoping that he can adapt as soon as possible.
After re-serving, Billups couldn't stand the entanglement of 'White Chocolate' and passed the ball to Ji Liang again, which Webber immediately lifted up, his knee flexed, and his center of gravity was significantly strengthened to avoid repeating the same mistake.
Feeling Webb's increased center of gravity, Ji Liang immediately moved his feet and took the opportunity to complete the turn, he raised the ball with both hands, bent his knees, and made a shooting posture.
Thinking that Ji Liang was going to shoot, Weber subconsciously jumped up, and at the moment he jumped, Ji Liang easily passed him and rushed into the restricted area.
Pollard hurriedly stepped forward to help defend, and Chi Liang passed the ball to O'Neal Jr., but he was obviously out of shape and did not take advantage of the opportunity, and finally the basketball smashed in the front of the basket and bounced out.
Before Pollard, Ji Liang grabbed the best position first, stuck the opponent behind, lightly stretched his ape arms, and easily grabbed the offensive rebound.
At this moment, Webb also arrived and wrapped Chi Liang with Pollard.
Under the two-person package, Ji Liang grabbed the basketball hard, while using his left foot as the axis, his right foot moved quickly, so as to change his position, and there was a gap.
This time, he passed the ball to O'Neill Jr. again.
O'Neal Jr. was stunned for a moment, but it was actually fleeting, and by the time he reacted, Pollard had already appeared in front of him and took the opportunity to complete the steal.
In the scramble, Webb grabbed the basketball, and he immediately passed the ball to White Chocolate, who was pushing so fast that he didn't look at his teammates, regardless of whether they were following or not, and rushed to the front court with the ball.
The Kings advanced quickly and did not leave the team, but the Nets' defense was also not slow, leaving the Kings without a chance to play a fast break.
In this case, White Chocolate handed the ball to Weber, who had fallen into a high position, and after receiving the ball, Webber did not rush to attack, while holding his back to Chi Liang while observing the situation on the field.
Suddenly, Anderson ran out of the open space and stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and without hesitation, Webb passed the ball to Anderson.
Kidders wanted to make up for the mistake, but he was still one step late, and Anderson had already made a basketball.
Swish~
Basketball responds to the sound and swings a touch of nets!
The Nets' offense, Chi Liang raised, using Chi Liang's blocking, Billups got rid of the white chocolate and quickly hit the restricted area with the ball.
Webb had to switch defenses and block in front of Billups, who didn't stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to Ji Liang outside the three-point line.
Facing the white chocolate that was only 185 centimeters, Chi Liang jumped straight up, even if the white chocolate tried his best to stop it, it was still difficult to restrict him much.
Swish~
The basketball hollowed into the net and tied the score again.
The Kings serve, White Chocolate passes the ball to Anderson, who in turn passes the ball to Webb, who is on the high post.
At the peak of his career, Webber mastered almost everything inside and outside, with his tough little hook in the low post and pleasing passes once the opponent was in the middle. However, Webber is undoubtedly the most terrifying in the high frame, he can choose a straight-arm jumper, or a three-step breakthrough to the basket and dunk, and the style of play is very gorgeous.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Webb lifted the ball, regardless of whether he confused Chi Liang or not, immediately entered the penalty area and rushed towards the basket.
Although Chi Liang's reaction was fast, the defense was passive after all, and he was squeezed half of his body by Weber, and after rushing to the basket, Webber dodged Chi Liang's block and won the dunk under the basket.
The Nets' offense, through a quick counterattack, Ji Liang instantly broke through Webb, and then, after attracting the attention of Collis Williams, immediately passed the ball to Newman, who scored the ball.
Soon, the Kings used Princeton's tactics to move the basketball constantly, and finally Webb passed the ball to White Chocolate, who scored the ball.
The Kings play very fluidly, each player can be an initiator or a finisher, and their coordination is too subtle, with man-to-man, ball movement, coordination, and it is quite difficult to defend.
In the first two minutes of the first quarter, both sides maintained excellent shots, but it didn't take long for O'Neal Jr. to make another mistake and was again grabbed by Pollard for an offensive rebound, and then used the second offense to make up for the ball.
"Jermaine, if you can't grab the rebound, then pester Pollard, and I'll grab the rebound!" Seeing such a scene, Chi Liang knew that little O'Neill was obviously not in shape, so naturally he didn't expect him too much.
Little O'Neill didn't speak, but nodded, and he was also very annoyed about his state.
Then Ji Liang began to show his all-round, sometimes using offense to score the ball, sometimes assisting teammates, he is still the main force in the fight for rebounds, and at the same time is the core of the team's defense.
For a time, he seemed to be everywhere, completely dominating both offensive and defensive ends.
However, the Kings are not good at stubble, their cooperation is tacit, with Webb as the offensive initiation point, delivering shells to the whole team, and Princeton's style of play is far from being stopped by Chi Liang alone.
Although the Nets are active defensively, they don't have enough run-in, they don't cooperate with each other tacitly, and they are often easily torn apart by the Kings with passes, which makes the Nets players miserable.
However, since Divac has not yet played, this is not the peak king, which also gives the Nets a slight advantage.
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were completely offensive battles, Chi Liang and Webb kept competing, but it was difficult for anyone to limit each other, but in general, Chi Liang still took advantage of it a little.
30:26
At the end of the first quarter, the Nets were temporarily four points ahead of the Kings. Among them, Ji Liang scored 12 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and got a double-double in the first quarter.
Because O'Neal Jr. pestered Pollard, most of the Nets' defensive rebounds were grabbed by Ji Liang, and he also grabbed 3 offensive rebounds by Webb.
On the other hand, Weber's statistics are also outstanding, his score is slightly higher than Chi Liang, with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and overall Chi Liang still has the upper hand.
