The Nuggets' offense, McDyce continued to be in position, his feet were fast and fluid, and he easily got rid of Ostertag.

After attracting Malone's bag, he made a wonderful pass to Fortson on the other side, and the latter hit an easy layup.

Coming back, the Jazz blocked again, Stockton split the ball, Malone received the ball in the high post, and then, after attracting the defense, distributed it to Hornacek, who ran to the other side.

However, Ji Liang defended very quickly, and under his defense, Hornacek did not find an easy shot, he did not force a shot, and passed the ball back to Stockton.

In the end, the run-in was not enough, at this time, the Jazz finally had a chance, Stockton passed the ball quickly, and Russell scored the ball.

In the next round, Ji Liang received a pass, at this time he appeared in the waistline, faced Russell's defense, chose to force a breakthrough, squeezed under the basket, and jumped.

Ostertag hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands in the air, trying to complete the block.

Syllable~

With a crisp sound, Ostertag did not block successfully, it turned out that Chi Liang dodged in the air, and took the initiative to meet his arm, causing Ostertag to slap his hand, and then threw the basketball casually.

Beep~

The referee's whistle blows.

Boom~

The basketball thrown by Chi Liang ended up smashing on the basket.

Hmmm~mph~

There was no accident, and Chi Liang hit both free throws.

After some smooth pick-and-roll, the basketball was once again in Hornacek's hands. By this time, Hornacek was already standing outside the three-point shot, and before Billups could pounce, Hornacek received the ball and threw it towards the basket.

Swish~

Hornacek got up and down and hit a three-pointer!

After coming back, the Nuggets were still singled by McDyce, and against the bulky Ostertag, McDyce had a big advantage.

This time, Ostertag was more tenacious, and McDies didn't find a chance, so he had to lean on the opponent and pass the ball to Van Exel, and then ran to the side, trying to shake off the opponent.

Van Exel didn't pass the ball, and against Stockton's small movements, he quickly completed the breakthrough and made a pull-up jump shot.

Boom~

Unfortunately, the basketball spun around the hoop and fell reluctantly.

In a scramble, Fortson grabbed an offensive rebound, only to be poked by Hornacek after landing on the ground.

The basketball rolled in the direction of Ji Liang and Russell, and the two immediately pounced on the basketball, but the two collided on the way, and no one grabbed the basketball.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of the court, Chi Liang suddenly stretched out his hand, barely reached for the basketball, and flew towards Russell's thigh.

Russell was caught off guard, and the basketball immediately fell off the court after hitting him in the thigh.

After re-serving, the basketball was picked up by Ji Liang, who dribbled without two steps, and suddenly passed the ball to Van Exel.

After receiving the ball, Van Axel accelerated violently, broke through the aging Stockton again, broke through to the basket from the other side, did not give the opponent a chance to react, and threw the ball into the basket with a slight dip.

So far, both sides have maintained a high shooting percentage, which is not a good sign for the coach because it means that their defense has not made a difference.

But for the fans, they love to see games like this, they are in high spirits, waving all kinds of props and cheering for the home team.

Not far away, the Jazz mascot 'Jazz Bear' danced awkwardly, and his hilarious gesture caused laughter from the audience.

It was also at this time that there was a little commotion on the court, and Hornacek jumped to shoot, but the shot ended in iron.

While scrambling for a rebound, Malone touched the basketball first, but got into a physical altercation with Fortson, causing his hand to slip and the basketball to fall out of the ball.

The two began to speak viciously to each other, who is Ma Long, the first person in the NBA weapons spectrum, how could he be afraid of Fortson, and immediately made a gesture of action.

"Come on, you have the ability to fight here!"

Although there is a gap in physique, Fortson can become the team's rebounding king, and he is also not a weakling, so he took the initiative to put his face up.

To be honest, Malone really wants to fight, but he has strong self-control, so how can he really do it. If he is suspended, the Jazz are afraid of losing!

Strangely, the players on both sides seemed to know that they couldn't fight, and they didn't block it actively.

At the referee's whistle, the two parted without the slightest idea of continuing the conflict.

Even though the fire is very big, the regular season may be fine, but the playoffs are different, if it starts, it will be a big loss, especially Malone is still the core of the Jazz.

In the playoffs, such disputes are common, and the referees naturally didn't say much, just warned them.

After the conflict was resolved, the confrontation between the two sides has increased significantly, and they have fought harder, trying to prevent each other.

Originally, Chi Liang didn't feel anything, and he felt that there was not much difference between the playoffs and the regular season, but now he found out that everyone hadn't entered the state just now, and it was mainly about temptation.

Now that the test is over, the two sides have obviously strengthened the intensity of confrontation, and the defense has reached a higher level.

Of course, the Nuggets are not a defensive team, and even if the intensity increases, it will still be difficult to limit the Jazz.

After the confrontation escalated, the court seemed to become a meat grinder, and everyone's movements began to get bigger.

Soon, the referee blew the whistle again, and then signaled Malone to foul, it turned out that in the process just now, Malone 'accidentally' elbowed Fortson, if it wasn't for Fortson's dodge in time, he raised his hands in time, I am afraid that he would be hit in the head.

This is naturally beyond the referee's psychological bottom line, even if this is the home of the Jazz, he can't let Malone move.

After being penalized, Malone's movements began to converge.

However, even if he reins in his movements, it doesn't mean that others won't come to him.

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, Van Exel passed the half court with the ball, and Chi Liang immediately wanted to pass the ball, leaning sideways against Russell, and his footsteps began to squeeze forcibly.

After squeezing two or three steps, Chi Liang suddenly stopped, then his pace accelerated, and it only took one change of direction to easily complete the breakthrough and start to kill towards the basket.

If you look closely, you will find that Chi Liang is rushing towards Ma Long.

Since Fortson had no projection ability, Malone immediately threw him off and immediately faced Ji Liang.

Chi Liang took a step and made a move to break through, but Ma Long hurriedly moved his footsteps and blocked the direction of the breakthrough.

At this moment, Chi Liang raised his right hand and made a shooting action, his movements were extremely realistic, and Ma Long had to jump up.

When Ma Long fell, Chi Liang took the initiative to lean up, seeing that the foul was inevitable, Ma Long waved his right hand hard and hit Chi Liang's arm hard.
