Chapter 179: Crazy Running

At the first time, Ji Liang took the initiative to serve and threw the ball into the front court hard, and he passed the ball many times, each time it was very accurate, and it came with a certain amount of advance.

Like a scalpel, as soon as Stich entered the three-point line, he only needed to stretch his arm to catch the basketball.

Seeing that Stadamimair was coming, Stich immediately distributed the ball to Billups, who ran to the bottom corner, and the latter took the ball and shot!

Swish~

3:2

After hitting the three-point shot, Dunleavy immediately stood up and yelled at the court: "Speed up the defense, you must guard against their fast break." Damon, remember to interfere with their serve! ”

Stadameyer nodded, took the ball and rushed forward, this time passing it to Wallace.

At this moment, Chi Liang resolutely left Grant and pounced on Wallace from the side.

At the same time, Wallace leaned against Fortson and was about to roll over and make a jumper.

"Be careful!" Grant's voice rang out, but there was still time for this.

Syllable~

At the moment when Wallace raised the basketball, Ji Liang pounced and completed the steal with his right hand in an instant.

Billups was quick and grabbed the basketball. Stadameyer hurried forward and tried to interfere with Billups to buy time for his teammates to get back into the defence.

Seeing that there was no chance of a fast attack, Billups had to lower his tempo, held the ball past half court, and passed the ball to Ji Liang.

Chi Liang occupies the waist circumference and singles Grant with his back, the two are of similar height, but Grant is heavier and is a heavy-tonnage small forward.

After receiving the basketball, Chi Liang leaned in and tested Grant's strength.

In terms of strength, the two of them were half a catty, and no one took advantage.

Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Chi Liang immediately changed his strategy, his shoulders shook rapidly, and he began to confuse Grant's sight.

"Left or right?"

When Chi Liang shook, Grant's center of gravity couldn't help but change.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Liang took advantage of Sikma to complete the turn in an instant, and before Grant could react, he held the ball to complete the breakthrough.

Wallace felt bad, hurriedly left Fortson behind, and pounced on Chi Liang.

Before Wallace came up, Ji Liang used a ground-hitting pass, and Fortson received the ball with both hands, immediately turned and jumped, and poured the ball into the basket.

The switch of attack and defense, perhaps to get Grant back, this time, Stoudamire passed the ball to Grant.

After receiving the basketball, Grant hit Chi Liang with his back, and hit it with all his strength, but he couldn't squeeze in, plus the speed and flexibility were not as good, and there was no progress at all for a while.

This was very annoying, Grant couldn't help it anymore and shot directly!

When he jumped, Ji Liang also jumped, and his interference was very timely, and Grant had to raise the height of his shot in order to avoid blocking.

Boom~

Grant missed, and the moment Grant made a shot, Fortson immediately rushed to the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound as soon as possible.

At the same time, Billups and Stich immediately went down, regardless of whether the opponent scored or not.

This style of play is no different from running and shooting, and the run-in of the shortened season has also made the players more and more adaptable.

The two rushed to the frontcourt, and the Trail Blazers players felt bad and hurried back to defense.

But by this time it was too late, and Fortson passed the ball to Ji Liang, who made another long pass.

Stich received the ball, was undisturbed and scored on an easy layup.

Looking back, Sabonis received the ball and was once again caught by Ji Liang, and had to force his shot, but unfortunately the shot did not go in!

This time, Clark and Fortson did not compete for rebounds, but stuck the Trail Blazers players, and Ji Liang picked up the rebounds.

At the moment of landing, Ji Liang ignored the studded Stadamire and chose a long pass again, and the basketball was like a cruise missile, which was easily caught by Billups.

Ryder stepped back to near his free throw line in time, and Billups didn't break through, but threw the ball to the basket.

Bang dang~

Stich relays in the air and slams the ball into the basket.

9:2

In just over two minutes, the Nuggets got off to a strong start, winning consecutive fast attacks, teammates felt hot, and Ji Liang was happy to brush up a few more assists.

Beep~

The Trail Blazers took a timeout, and in an attempt to limit the Nuggets' fast break, Dunleavy began to instill some targeted advice into the players.

After returning from a timeout, it was Sabonis again, but this time before Ji Liang was able to split the ball to an open Grant who scored on a layup.

Looking back, in a passing and cutting combination, Ji Liang passed the ball again and hit it from Billups, who ran out of the open space.

Seeing that his teammates were feeling hot, in the next few rounds, Ji Liang continued to deliver shells, most of which could be converted into assists.

Compared with the efficient Nuggets, the Trail Blazers' shooting is more average, and in order to prevent the Nuggets' fast break, most of them are shot from the outside.

In this process, the difference between the two sides began to gradually widen, and before the official timeout, it opened to double digits.

During this period, Ji Liang also scored occasionally, but most of them were scored, resulting in him not scoring much.

He prefers to organise his team more than an individual attack, which also saves him physical exertion.

23:12

During the official timeout, looking at the score on the electronic scoreboard, Trail Blazers head coach Dunleavy was not good.

In eight minutes, the Trail Blazers only scored 12 points, an average of 1.5 points per minute, what the hell is this playing!

At this time, the two sides began to send out replacement lineups, Van Exel's energy was high, his speed was fast, and he tore through the Trail Blazers' defense again and again.

In the substitution lineup, Van Exel's is undoubtedly the team's main point of attack, mostly using his individual ability to score and occasionally break through the ball.

Under Van Exel's leadership, the Nuggets' score continued to climb.

Although Van Exel's is strong, the Trail Blazers are not inferior, and the margin has not been widened, but it has not been narrowed either, and it has been maintained in an even trend.

34:24

After the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets still led by double-digit points, and due to the hot hands of their teammates, Chi Liang cut down 5 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds in just eight minutes of play.

Minutes later, the second quarter began, with D'Antoni once again fielding in the starting lineup. The ball of the Nuggets is still distributed by Ji Liang.

Unlike the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers used a semi-main lineup, supported by Sabonis and O'Neal on the inside, as well as Greg Anthony, Ryder and Walter Williams.

Even if it is only a semi-main lineup, the Trail Blazers have a lot of money in the end, and the lineup is still not inferior to the Nuggets.

"The Trail Blazers want to chase points with a substitution? Or maybe I'm thinking too much! ”

Looking at the Trail Blazers' lineup, D'Antoni held his chin in his right hand, thinking about Dunleavy's intentions, and vaguely felt bad in his heart.
