Without Chris Webb, the Kings can still play Princeton, but the offensive threat has undoubtedly diminished a lot.

On the next offense, the Kings players quickly passed halftime.

This time, with Divac's pick-and-roll, Williams got rid of Van Exel's and began to storm the box.

At this time, McDyce could only choose to switch defenses, and Williams did not shoot, but passed the ball to Divac.

Ignoring Van Exel, who was 185 centimeters, Divac threw the ball to the basket from 13 feet away.

Boom~

Amazingly, with little to no interference, Divac's mid-range shot missed.

After hitting the rebound, the basketball bounced in the direction of Ji Liang, and he easily stuck Collis Williams, lightly stretched his ape arm, and grabbed the backcourt rebound.

This time, the Kings retreated quickly, and even Divac was desperately trying to get back on guard.

Seeing that there was no chance of a quick break, Ji Liang passed the ball to Van Exel.

Once his team-mate was in position, Van Exel turned to pass the ball to McDyce.

Near the free throw line, McDyce received the ball with both hands, just like the previous scene, McDyce turned around, just one step out, easily completed the breakthrough, and wanted to hit the basket.

Just then, Pollard stepped up to help defend and with his interference, McDyes' shot went wide of the basket.

"Mine!"

In the crowded restricted area, Ji Liang shouted and grabbed the offensive rebound first.

The moment he landed, Collis Williams secretly stretched out his right hand and wanted to make a steal.

Just when Collis Williams was about to succeed, Chi Liang reacted, and with a move of his footsteps, he easily avoided the opponent's steal.

The next moment, Chi Liang didn't make a move, but flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew towards the bottom corner along an inexplicable trajectory.

Billups was open from outside the corner three-point line, and he even had time to adjust before he could shoot the ball before the defenders were in place.

Swish~

Without interference, the basketball hollowed into the net and added another three-point for the Nuggets.

In the next round, Ji Liang threw the basketball towards the basket, and McDyce jumped up and successfully staged an aerial relay.

Soon, Ji Liang received the ball in the low post, easily broke through Collis Williams, and after attracting the bag, broke through the ball and assisted Fortson to make a layup.

Not long after, in a pass and cutting cooperation, Ji Liang received the ball again, Van Exel appeared empty, and after receiving Ji Liang's pass, he hit the shot.

After the switch between offense and defense, the Kings' shooting hit iron, and Ji Liang grabbed the rebound again, this time driving straight from the middle, using the back pass, Billups hit a three-pointer again!

In this situation, eight minutes passed.

In these eight minutes, Ji Liang did not make a single shot, assisted his teammates to score again and again, or competed for rebounds, leading the team to climb steadily.

24:20

With the home team in front and the away team behind, Ji Liang's passing was extremely efficient, and almost every pass was converted into a score.

It's just that the Kings are not much worse, they cooperate tacitly, and they can always use simple passing and cutting to easily tear apart the Nuggets' defense, which is why the score has not been opened.

Statistically, both teams have a high percentage of shots, both above 50%.

During the official timeout, the two sides began to send replacement lineups, and as always, the Nuggets were led by Ji Liang.

On the other side, White Chocolate continued to play, along with Peja Stojakovic.

In 1996, Peja Stojakovic entered the NBA through the draft as a member of the '96 Golden Generation.

However, because the contract with PAOK was not completed, he continued to play for PAOK from 1997 to 1998, and only entered the NBA in the same year.

At 206 centimeters, Peja's biggest feature is his accurate shooting, and amazingly, he can be used as both a point guard and a shooting guard, as well as a small forward position. Some are similar to Durant in later generations, who like to use their height and arm span to eat opponents.

Under the organization of Chi Liang, even if it is just the team's replacement lineup, it also maintains a fiery feel, constantly converting Chi Liang's passes into scores.

On the other side, the Kings were no worse, with the assist of 'White Chocolate', Peja shot 3-of-5, including two three-pointers, and scored 8 points in just three minutes.

35:31

After the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets were still in the lead, and Ji Liang played the whole first quarter, and he still didn't shoot, not even a free throw.

Compared with scoring, due to the hot hands of his teammates, Ji Liang handed out 11 assists in the first quarter.

In addition, there were six rebounds, including two frontcourt rebounds.

Soon, the second quarter began, and because Ji Liang played the whole first quarter, he began to sit on the sidelines to rest.

In the second quarter, D'Antoni used the starting lineup again, but Williams replaced Ji Liang.

The Nuggets' offense is naturally dominated by McDyes.

Compared to the first quarter, the Kings tightened up their defense, and with their containment, the Nuggets' offensive efficiency began to decline.

On the other hand, the Nuggets, they still can't limit Princeton's tactics, and they are always used by the Kings to easily tear apart the defense and score.

In this situation, the Kings began to gain the upper hand, and waited until the second quarter was interrupted to finally erase the point difference.

Seeing that the situation was not good, D'Antoni sent Chi Liang on the field again.

In order to limit Chi Liang, Kings head coach Adelman replaced Corris Williams with Lawrence Fangderboke, who specialized in defending Chi Liang.

Lawrence Fonderburke, 206 cm, 104 kg, is a hard-working blue-collar worker.

Compared with Collis Williams, Fangde Burke is more flexible and may still not be able to keep up with Chi Liang's footsteps, but the effect may be better.

In addition, Fonterbock also has a shot that can help the team score.

After the substitution, using a simple backrun and cover, Pollard misplaced and hit a mid-range shot in the face of Billups.

The Nuggets' possession, Van Exel thought about it, and stuffed the ball to Ji Liang, wanting him to test Fang Debock.

Ji Liang received the ball with a frame, his knees slightly flexed, and he made a triple threat move.

Although Chi Liang has not made a move, Fang Deboke still does not dare to make a move, you must know that Chi Liang's three-point shooting rate is still at the top of the list.

Due to the close proximity of Fang Deboke, Chi Liang chose to break through, and saw him step with his right foot and began to break through to the right.

Fang Deboke reacted quickly, and wanted to use the sliding step to block Ji Liang's breakthrough direction.

At this moment, Ji Liang retracted his footsteps, lifted the ball, and made a shooting posture.

Because Ji Liang's movements were too realistic, without hesitation, Fang Deboke hurriedly jumped up, and by the time he found out that this was a shooting feint, it was obviously too late.

Ji Liang retracted the basketball, took the opportunity to complete the breakthrough, and after attracting Divac's help defense, he threw the ball to the basket again, and McDece scored in the air.

Under the organization of Ji Liang, the efficiency of the Nuggets' offense increased, but it was difficult to stop the Princeton tactics, and finally it was a draw.

At the end of the first half, Ji Liang still didn't score, but he achieved a strange data of 15 assists and 10 rebounds.
