After Ji Liang hit a free throw, the Nuggets overtook the Jazz by five points.

There are two minutes left until the end of the game.

"Boy, believe it or not, I'll give you another elbow?" Ma Long made a threat, and he hoped that Chi Liang would be able to stop for a while.

"I believe it, after all, you only have two choices, either I will be killed or give me another elbow!" Chi Liang stared at Ma Long without any fear, his eyes were full of confidence.

Marlon was angry to death, but he still held back his anger and tilted his head to the side. Now is the critical moment, and it is impossible for him to give Ji Liang another elbow, otherwise if he is sent off the court, the Jazz will be finished.

In addition, if you give two elbows to a player on the spot in a game, especially if the opponent is still a player that Stern values, even if Malone is a superstar, he will definitely be banned.

At this time, Sloan said to Shanton Anderson on the bench: "After you get on the court, you defend Ji Liang, don't give him a chance to shoot!"

Sloan was helpless, it wasn't that Ma Long's defense was too poor, but that Ji Liang was too flexible, just like a loach, he could easily get rid of Ma Long and open up enough shooting space.

However, he also has no confidence in Anderson, although he is faster than Ji Liang, he is only 198 cm and 94 kg, which is not a heavyweight player at all.

After the Jazz substitution, Malone continued to receive the ball in the low post, and McDyce immediately let go of Ostertag and began to implement the bag!

Ma Long desperately protected the ball and couldn't make a shot, he was very strong, but Ji Liang and McDies were not bad, like two bulldozers, sandwiching him in the middle.

At this moment, Malone saw Hornacek cutting in from the middle of the arc, and hurriedly squeezed out a gap and stuffed the ball to the middle.

Hornacek received the basketball, shook Stich up, burst into the box and scored a layup.

The Nuggets' offense, Ji Liang was in a back position in the horn area and received a pass from Billups.

"Don't be delusional about scoring!" Anderson was a little weak-hearted, but he was very tough.

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!"

As soon as the words fell, Chi Liang took advantage of Sikma to turn over and hit a jumper.

In the later process, teammates always pass the ball to Ji Liang and then let him teach Anderson a lesson.

Anderson's confidence was like snow melting, and Chi Liang kept scoring on his head, using the way Malone scored, using the advantage of height, arm span and strength, and easily beat Anderson with just a turnover jumper.

In the process, as long as the Jazz have the intention to contain him, he can accurately find open teammates and help them score.

However, the Nuggets did not continue to widen the difference, mainly because Hornacek began to explode, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and the Jazz team was old and strong, so they stopped the difference.

At this time, there are only 40 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Nuggets continue to have the ball.

The Jazz didn't give up and wanted to foul Billups, but Billups passed the basketball first.

At 45° to the left, Ji Liang received the basketball, and Anderson and Stockton immediately came up to pack the bag.

"Stop him, don't let him score again!" At the same time, the commentator's voice sounded, his tone was full of solemnity, he had read the statistics, Chi Liang had already scored 49 points, as long as Chi Liang continued to score, he could successfully reach 50 points.

In his rookie season, there were a total of 6 people who could score 50 points in a single game, they were Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Ervin Hayes, Abdul-Jabbar and Iverson, even the 'basketball god' Jordan, his rookie season high was 49 points.

As can be seen from these names, except for Iverson, who has to continue to prove it, the rest are all historical superstars.

It's a pity that the commentator is destined to be disappointed, after being trapped, Chi Liang did not pass the ball, but chose to force a shot (dry pull), because whether it is Anderson or Stockton, they are too short!

Anderson and Stockton tried their best to interfere, but they still couldn't stop Ji Liang from scoring, and Ji Liang successfully scored 51 points, and at the same time stretched the difference to 7 points.

Unless the 'Miller moment' returns, the Jazz have no chance of turning around.

In the later process, even if the Jazz used foul tactics, they still did not turn defeat into victory, and finally lost the game with a score of 94:99.

This time, Chi Liang ushered in a big outburst, scoring 26 points in the fourth quarter, declaring his reign of terror in the fourth quarter to the world, and at the same time he used the outburst to tell Malone that there must be a price to pay for hurting him.

In this game, the Jazz's best player was undoubtedly Karl Malone, who played 37 minutes, shot 9-of-21 and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line, contributing a total of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is still on Ji Liang's data, playing a total of 42 minutes, 19 of 28 shots, 6 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, a total of 51 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

In this game, Chi Liang scored more than half of the Nuggets team's scores, and if you add assists, most of the Nuggets' scores are related to him.

At the post-match press conference, the scene was crowded with a large number of reporters, looking at the black heads and long guns and short guns, but I was afraid that the number of people exceeded three digits.

According to NBA rules, the away team is interviewed first, and then the home team is interviewed.

This time, D'Antoni brought Ji Liang alone. After they appeared, the long guns and short cannons of countless reporters were aimed at Chi Liang.

In this game, Ji Liang once again broke the record, not only becoming the seventh player to score 50 points in his rookie season, but also becoming the youngest Mr. 50 points in the league.

This data is by no means something that ordinary people can play, especially since the Jazz is still a strong team in the league, and he also beat Ma Long, it is impossible to be popular.

"Let's do it one by one!" After Chi Liang finished speaking, he took the lead in naming the reporter of the New York Times.

"Mr. Chi Liang, how do you feel about breaking the record?"

"To get 51 points this time, first of all, I have to thank the manager D'Antoni for his trust, he gave me unlimited fire. Secondly, I would like to thank all my teammates, without their cooperation and cover, I would not have gotten such data at all, thank you! ”

"You've got a perfect start to your career as the seventh player to score 50 points, do you think you'll be able to compete with the other six in the future?"

There is no doubt that this is a trap, at least the current Chi Liang cannot be compared with the other six.

"If I say yes, I'm sure everyone will be skeptical, and I hope that the future will reach that height, and I hope that day is not too far away."

Chi Liang didn't say big things, he was a pragmatic person, not to mention that in this alliance, there are not too many things to 'hurt Zhongyong', plus the injury is fiercer than the tiger, no one can guarantee his future.

At this time, a reporter from USA Today suddenly said, "What do you think of the conflict with Malone?"
