After arriving in Salt Lake City, the Nuggets began to check into the Salt Lake City Hotel!

"Ahh

After washing, not long after lying on the bed, Chi Liang vaguely heard a scream, originally he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he always felt that the sound was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep.

After getting up from the bed, the screams did not stop, and Chi Liang listened attentively, only to realize that the sound was coming from next door.

"I remember Fortson lives next door, could it be that something happened to him?"

Chi Liang secretly said in his heart that his movements were not slow, and when he left the room, he fished out a baseball bat by the way.

This baseball bat, he always carries it with him, he knows little about baseball, and usually uses it for self-defense. No way, there are too many races and races in the United States, and it is normal to encounter conflicts.

After leaving the room, Chi Liang also saw McDyce, who was also attracted by Fortson's screams.

"Danny, what's wrong with you?"

The two looked at each other and stood together in front of the Fortson door, shouting loudly and knocking hard.

Their voices were so loud that many of their teammates were woken up, and even D'Antoni opened the door, revealing a pair of worried eyes and looking this way.

"What's wrong with you?"

"We heard Danny screaming, I don't know what happened to him!"

After answering, seeing that Fortson's door had not yet opened, McDyess couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Let's kick the door together!"

"Good!"

The two looked at each other, and almost simultaneously kicked Fortson's door hard.

Bang Bang~

It is worthy of a five-star hotel, and the lock of the door is of excellent quality, even with the strength of two people, it was not immediately kicked open.

However, the two of them are not ordinary people after all, their strength is very strong, and they kicked the door open in three or two strokes.

When they found Fortson, they saw Fortson lying on the floor of the bathroom, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, showing an extremely painful expression.

If you look closely, you can see that Fortson's right hand is unnaturally twisted, and there are still some traces of water on the ground.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it is likely that Fortson accidentally slipped and fell to the ground in the process of taking a bath, and finally had an accident.

"Danny, how are you?"

"My right hand hurts, and my foot seems to be twisted!" Fortson tried his best to endure it, but cold sweat still dripped down involuntarily.

"Go and call the team doctor!"

Soon, the team doctor rushed over, and after the initial examination, he shook his head at D'Antoni, "Mike, Danny has a sprained left foot, mainly because his right hand is dislocated, and he needs to recuperate for a while. ”

"How long will it take?"

D'Antoni frowned, feeling bad in his heart. It was only a long time before injuries returned to the Nuggets. And unlike before, this time it didn't happen on the pitch.

"Expect to be out for 4 to 6 weeks!"

"Oh my God!"

D'Antoni said that it was a headache, not to mention that Fortson is just a role player, but he has contributed a lot to the Nuggets, in previous games, he was able to grab 11 rebounds per game, and he is also the Nuggets' team rebounding leader.

The loss of Fortson has undoubtedly made matters worse for the Nuggets, who have a slim chance of winning against the mighty Jazz and Spurs.

At the same time, the strength of the Nuggets' lineup has also been challenged, Lafrentz is reimbursed for the season, Fortson recuperates for a month, Van Exel is suspended, and three main players are missing at once, and the strength of the Nuggets has been greatly weakened.

On March 11, the Nuggets took on the Jazz on the road.

With Fortson sidelined, this time the Nuggets fielded a combination of Clark, McDyce, Ji Liang, Billups and Alexander.

The Jazz jumped the ball successfully, and Stockton still passed the half unhurriedly, and due to age, the Jazz were the slowest paced team in the league.

Almost as the clock ticked in time, Stockton dribbled past half-court and Hornacek began to run, running from the bottom left corner to the right 45° angle to rip away defenders.

On the other side, Malone stood up at the waist, and the Jazz's first offense was handed to him, hoping to start running from Malone's back hit.

Without hesitation, Malone singled with his back, knocked McDyess staggered back, and finally turned over and hit a jumper.

Ma Long's strength is too strong, unless his strength is comparable to Ma Long, such a turnover jump shot is almost impossible to block, and it is difficult to even interfere with it.

But back on the defensive end, it's the Jazz players' turn to have a headache, especially Chi Liang's counterpart player Brian Russell, who has a deep impression of Chi Liang.

In the last game with the Nuggets, neither he nor Stockton could limit Ji Liang, and he finally got a triple-double.

Despite this, Russell could only bite the bullet and greet Chi Liang.

After coming to the frontcourt, Ji Liang looked at Russell, and then opened his hand to catch Alexander's pass.

At this time, Ji Liang gestured to his teammates.

After receiving the signal, his teammates began to spread out, leaving Ji Liang with enough space to play back.

Russell was nervous, he sensed something was wrong, but he still pulled himself together and tried to do everything he could.

Regardless of height or weight, Russell is inferior to Chi Liang, so Chi Liang put on a back-hitting posture as soon as he came up.

As soon as Chi Liang leaned in, Russell was a little overwhelmed, Chi Liang's strength was too strong, he could only continue to lower his center of gravity and try not to let himself retreat.

At the moment when he changed his center of gravity, taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, Chi Liang immediately completed the turn, passed the opponent in one step, and began to break through to the penalty area.

Ma Long, who was pulled away by McDeis, immediately felt bad and hurriedly ran to the basket, wanting to help defend Chi Liang, but he overestimated his speed, and by the time he caught up, Chi Liang had already scored a layup.

Russell had a bitter face, regardless of height, weight or speed, he was crushed by his opponent in all directions. Judging from the previous situation, unless Ji Liang has a bad hand, he is likely to be blown up.

After Ji Liang scored easily, Jerry Sloan had no extra expression on his face, as if he didn't pay attention to Ji Liang.

Only Sloan knows in his heart that he attaches great importance to Chi Liang, but there is really no way, looking at all the players of the Jazz team, who can limit him?

This is in response to the old saying, the fast is not as strong as him, and the stronger than him is not as fast as him, and at the same time, the height must not be too different, otherwise he will be shot by Chi Liangyan.

Looking through the entire league, there are really not many players like this, the problem is that the Jazz don't have them.

While Sloan was thinking about countermeasures, the game on the court continued, and compared with the last game, the Nuggets' hand recovered and began to compete with the Jazz, and they did not fall behind for a while.
