Under the leadership of Chi Liang, in just two minutes, the Nuggets played a 7:0 shock wave, and they were about to eat away at the supersonic advantage.

The most important thing is that in these two minutes, the supersonic did not score a single point and fell into a scoring drought.

McMillan is a rookie coach, but after more than a decade of playing career, he knows that the Nuggets have risen to the ground, and if they continue to let it go, they may be picked up by a wave.

On the other side, Ji Liang wiped his sweat and looked at his personal data statistics by the way, and in less than twenty minutes, he got 12 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.

With ten minutes left, if Ji Liang's performance is extremely ideal, he will have a chance to get the special data of triple-double +5×5.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to achieve such statistics, and it requires the cooperation of teammates, and there has never been a player in history who has completely triple-double +5×5.

There is no doubt that if it can be done, it will be a great statistic that will go down in history.

"Brush, must brush!"

Chi Liang secretly said in his heart that he must seize this opportunity, if he misses this store, there may not be such an opportunity in the future.

From start to finish, D'Antoni didn't speak, he didn't plan his tactics, he just wanted the players to regain a little energy.

When the timeout ended, the SuperSonics resolutely changed to the starting lineup; The Nuggets did not make substitutions, and the main players were physically worried, so D'Antoni had to continue to use the bench, hoping that Ji Liang could continue to play magically and try to drag the score.

The supersonic ball possession, unlike the previous fast pace, Payton consciously slowed down the tempo, they did not get enough rest, and faced the Nuggets' bench lineup.

After holding the ball for half time, even if Alexander tried his best to defend, he still couldn't stop Payton's breakthrough and was burst into the penalty area by the opponent with the ball.

Ji Liang was very aware of the defense, but Payton reacted extremely quickly and immediately chose to pass the ball to Schramf, who was in the open space.

Before Ji Liang returned to defense, Schramf hit a mid-range shot to extend the margin to 7 points.

Clark serves, passes the ball to Alexander. After half-time with the ball, Alexander was defended by Payton.

Compared to Payton, Alexander is several notches behind, especially since the opponent is still the best point guard at defense.

Payton's defense was aggressive, and his timing was even greater, and one step forward prevented Alexander's footsteps.

The next moment, Payton made a steal, grabbed the basketball and rushed to the frontcourt. The Nuggets were caught off guard, and it was obviously too late to defend back, so they could only watch Payton score a layup.

"My bad!"

Alexander raised his hand with a look of frustration, and was tackled by Payton's ease, which more or less hit his self-confidence.

This is also the limitation of the bench lineup, the bench is a substitute after all, and most of their abilities are limited, except for a very few substitute players, most of the substitute players are not as good as the starters in terms of ability, let alone Payton.

In NBA history, there is only one point guard who has won the best defensive player, and he is Gary Payton.

In 1996, Gary Payton was named the league's best defensive player, the first guard player to win the award since Jordan in 1987-88.

Payton's defensive aggressiveness, coupled with compulsive close-quarters defense and trash talk skills, always made steals inadvertently, and in the season he won the Defensive Player of the Year, he averaged 2.9 steals per game to make him the steal king, and with this statistic, it also gave Payton a head start when it came to selecting the best defensive player.

In the face of Gary Payton's defense, Alexander was completely unqualified, and in this case, Chi Liang had no choice but to come forward and say: "It's okay, I'll pick you up later!"

This time, with Ji Liang's response, before being close to Payton, Alexander passed the ball to Ji Liang first.

Due to the connection, Ji Liang was not far from the middle circle and could only continue to dribble forward.

Ji Liang's dribbling is very good, but his center of gravity is high and he is prone to steals, but in the dynamic vision state, his reaction is improved to the extreme, and the error rate is naturally reduced to a minimum.

Ji Liang's advance speed was very slow, and he was also consciously lowering his tempo, and after a few seconds, he appeared in front of Schramf.

Facing Schramf, who was waiting for him, Ji Liang began to shake his shoulders, stepped forward with his left foot, and made a movement to break to the left.

Schramf did not doubt it, and hurriedly stepped to the right, but at this time, Ji Liang pulled the basketball, his shaking amplitude was very large, the ball was handed over to his right hand, and he broke through in the opposite direction.

In an instant, Chi Liang and Schramf were in a parallel state, but the two were opposite.

After being deceived, Schramf hurriedly turned around, although his turning speed was fast, but in the end the opportunity had been lost, and how to keep up with Chi Liang's pace, he was overtaken by Chi Liang in an instant.

Polynis hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Chi Liang.

Facing Pollinis, Ji Liang continued to rush forward, and then made a shooting move, Pollinis hurriedly jumped up, his hands raised high, trying to limit Ji Liang's shot.

It's a pity that Ji Liang didn't shoot immediately, but waited until Polynis jumped, bumped into Polynice, and then threw the basketball in his hand.

Honk~

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.

This is the standard way to make fouls, but Ji Liang's core strength is very strong, even if he collides with Polinis, he still hits the basket steadily.

At the moment of landing, Chi Liang took a step back and eliminated the force of the collision.

Under the instructions of the referee, Ji Liang stood at the free throw line. After adjusting the rhythm of his breathing, Ji Liang threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish~

After Ji Liang completed 2+1, the Nuggets narrowed the gap and had 6 points left.

"Pretty impressive!"

Payton was a little surprised, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and after half the court with the ball, he used the block to break through to the penalty area with the ball.

After attracting Fortson's defense, Payton opted for a pass again and passed the ball to Vin Baker.

Bang dang~

Wen Baker jumped up and poured the basketball into the basket with all his might, and now he was heavier than O'Neal, causing the basket to be ripped off the class in a large arc, as if it might be ripped off.

After the transition between offense and defense, outside the three-point line in the top corner, Ji Liang looked at Payton in front of him, which was also the first time he faced Payton's defense.

Since Schramf couldn't help Chi Liang, Payton had to choose to change the defense and wanted to defend Chi Liang himself.

Without hesitation, Chi Liang chose to turn his back, and then squeezed hard, and Peyton behind him only felt a strong surge, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Although Payton is the best defensive player, it doesn't mean that he can limit Chi Liang, and he can only be forced to retreat due to the difference in strength and weight.
