Chapter 243: The first three doubles
Before the fourth quarter, Coach Rivers took the strategy board and began to lay out the play. Unlike D'Antoni, he was also a rookie, but Coach Rivers was more experienced, with a varied and balanced tactics.
Soon, the fourth quarter began, and this time, all of the players in the Nets field were starters, except for Kidders in place of Gill.
As for the Pacers, they also fielded their starting lineup.
According to the jump ball rule, the team that wins the jump ball for the first time will automatically get the right to serve in the fourth quarter of the game.
Therefore, the Nets took the lead in serving, Armstrong dribbled the basketball steadily, his rhythm was fast, and half court passed in a blink of an eye.
Due to the serious aging of the Pacers, in order to target the Pacers, the Nets have a fast pace, so after three quarters, the Pacers' old players have suffered a lot of physical loss, and their state has been more or less affected, especially Schmitz.
At this moment, Ji Liang ran quickly and ran towards the bottom corner of the other side, although Schmitz followed, his steps were slightly heavier, and his speed was a few points slower than before.
So, Ji Liang grabbed the gap and appeared outside the bottom corner three-point line.
When the ball arrived, Armstrong chose to pass the ball before Schmitz caught up, and it was at this time that Miller knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly left Kidders and pounced on Ji Liang.
Outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, Ji Liang did not choose to pass, but faced the pounced Miller and quickly shot a three-point shot.
Swish~
Compared to last season, Ji Liang's shooting speed has improved again, even if it is small, which is enough to make Miller feel frightened.
Judging from the speed of the shot, Chi Liang is not slower than Miller at all, and it seems to be one point faster.
After hitting a three-pointer, the difference between the two sides narrowed to three points. On the Pacers bench, Bird couldn't help but stand up, his expression serious and his heart full of uneasiness.
The king of the fourth section seems to have a tendency to exert his power again.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Bird told the players that he knew very well that Chi Liang in the fourth quarter was different from the first three quarters, and he was going to be stronger, because the opponent always likes to explode in the fourth quarter.
The Pacers' offense, Jackson is like a classic car, still pressing the rhythm and delaying the loss of physical strength, but he is almost 35 years old after all, even if the rhythm is reduced to the minimum, but after three quarters of the game, most of his physical strength is still lost.
After Jackson passed the half, Armstrong immediately stepped up and wantonly harassed Jackson and did not give him a chance to control the ball easily.
In the first three quarters, Jackson was tormented and harassed by Armstrong and Billups at all times.
In the harassment, Armstrong carried the referee behind his back and twisted the soft flesh on Jackson's waist hard, and Jackson's rhythm of ball control was suddenly disrupted, and he was almost cut off.
At the critical moment, Jackson pulled the basketball and hurriedly held the ball with both hands. In this case, he has only two options, either force the shot or pass the ball to his teammates.
Jackson opted for a pass and passed the ball to Miller.
After taking two steps forward, Miller didn't stick to the ball, threw it casually, passed the ball to Rose, and continued to run himself, tearing the Nets' defense.
At a 45° angle on the right side, Rose received the ball with both hands and lifted it up with his hands, he looked at the basket, his movements were standard, and he looked like he wanted to shoot.
Newman did not doubt him, and immediately stood on tiptoe, raised his right hand high, and took advantage of this opportunity to collect the basketball and immediately break through with the ball to the side.
Newman was shocked, he had lost the lead at this time, and was easily broken through by Rose, so he wanted to stop the jump shot.
At this moment, Chi Liang seemed to have expected it, and under Rose's surprised eyes, he appeared in front of him in time, and while jumping high, he stretched out his right hand vigorously.
In an instant, feeling the touch from his fingertips, Ji Liang showed a smile, and under his interference, the flight trajectory of the basketball was changed.
Boom~
The basketball smashed into the basket for internal testing, and then flew towards the restricted area, Cage's card position was rich, and he stuck the position first, stuck the 224cm Schmitz behind, and easily grabbed the defensive rebound.
This time, the Pacers were quick to defend and saw that there was no fast break opportunity, so Cage had to pass the ball to Armstrong.
After dribbling past half court, Armstrong wanted to pass the ball to Chi Liang, but the Pacers were very strict with him, Davis always followed Chi Liang, and Rose, who was not far away, also divided his energy to stare at it, ready to help defend and pack at any time.
Without hesitation, Ji Liang ran quickly, using Cage's cover, easily got rid of Davis, and went around the right 45-degree three-point line.
After receiving the basketball, Chi Liang stared at the basket with both eyes, his feet arched, and the screws that came to him did not doubt him, and he jumped up without thinking.
Unfortunately, this was Chi Liang's feint, and after recovering the basketball, Chi Liang took a step and appeared at the front of the penalty area.
At the same time, Davis pounced and jumped up with Chi Liang.
Syllable~
In mid-air, Ji Liang stretched out his arm and waited until Davis hit the arm before throwing the basketball out.
Honk~
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle!
Swish~
At the moment when Chi Liang landed, the basketball spun around the basket and finally fell into it unwillingly.
Under the instructions of the referee, Ji Liang stood on the free throw line and threw the basketball without making any adjustments.
Swish~
Basketball made a steady free throw, 2+1 was played, and in less than a minute, Chi Liang scored 6 points in a row, successfully erasing the difference between the two sides.
After scoring two goals in a row, in the following time, even though the Pacers defended tightly, they were still helpless against Chi Liang, and they were torn apart by him again and again, either scoring easily, or assisting teammates.
On the other hand, the Pacers also tried their best to win this victory, and their efficiency was not low, but due to physical fitness, it was affected after all.
As a result, the Nets overtook the score and began to gradually widen the difference.
"The King of the Fourth Quarter!"
"The King of the Fourth Quarter!"
In the second half of the fourth quarter, when the firepower was in full swing, as long as Chi Liang received the basketball, the Nets fans shouted the nickname of the king of the fourth quarter as if they were organized.
For a while, the arena was filled with an increasingly frenetic atmosphere, which was fundamentally different from last season's Nets.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Pacers' shooting percentage began to decline significantly due to physical strength. On the other hand, under the organization of Chi Liang, the Nets players feel hot and extremely efficient.
Even if Bird kept admonishing and roaring on the sidelines, he still couldn't change the situation on the field.
In the last two minutes, the fans started to celebrate in advance, and although the game was not over yet, with the team's performance, the victory was almost sealed.
In the end, with Ji Liang's 37 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds, he led the Nets to defeat the Pacers with a score of 122:115.
