Compared to the Grizzlies, the Nuggets are stronger overall, with the exception of the small forward position, the rest of the positions are dominant.

In addition, the Nuggets also have home-court advantage, which more or less affects the performance of the Grizzlies players.

In such a situation, the Nuggets began to suppress the Grizzlies and completely dominated the court.

As usual, during the official timeout, Ji Liang continued to play, and he had to play the full first quarter of the game again.

For this arrangement, Chi Liang was also very helpless, but it didn't mean that he had no choice, he decided to play in the way of healthy basketball.

What is Wellness Basketball? It refers to not being prone to injury, not exerting much physical energy in each game, but completing tasks according to standards, and not being blamed by coaches and teammates.

Specifically, it is to provide his physical fitness like a baby, reduce the rhythm as much as possible, no explosive dunks in the offense, break through less, pull to the outside to catch the ball and shoot, rely on awareness to pick up rebounds, steals and blocks in defense, and occasionally send a wonderful pass to attract applause from the audience.

To put it simply, it is to paddle on the court most of the time, and show both hands at critical moments. It seems to be leisurely, but in fact, there will be no moths.

Of course, if others can't figure it out, as long as it drags on to the fourth quarter, Chi Liang will try to break out.

You must know that in the fourth quarter of this season, Ji Liang's total scores, goals, and plus/minus all ranked first in the league, and far exceeded the second place, and the title of the king of the fourth quarter was worthy of his name.

Even if the state is not very good, Ji Liang's consciousness has not decreased much, and he uses passes again and again to easily tear apart the Grizzlies' defense and assist his teammates to score.

Swish~

Before the end of the first quarter, Stich ran out of the open space, got to the ball, didn't have to make any adjustments, and hit the basket.

28:18

In the first quarter, the Nuggets built a double-digit advantage, with McDyce scoring 12 points of his own.

Ji Liang didn't score much, so he scored 4 points, but he handed out 5 assists and 3 rebounds.

"Guys, we have to make a change, we have to limit McDyce first!"

On the Grizzlies bench, head coach Brian Heal paused for a moment before continuing, "Chilkart, it's up to you to play against McDyes, and try to reduce his scoring efficiency. ”

"Yes, Coach!"

Pete Chilkart, he's a blue-collar player with modest stats, but he's known for his ability to do dirty work and get tired.

After the start of the second quarter, Ji Liang did not play, and as is customary for D'Antoni, as long as the situation does not change abruptly, he can take the opportunity to rest for a few minutes.

According to the rules of the game, the Grizzlies are in control of the ball.

After advancing into the half with the ball, Bibby took advantage of Chirkart's block to temporarily shake off Van Exel and burst towards the penalty area with the ball.

Without hesitation, McDice opted to switch defenses, only to be easily broken by Bibby and end the fight with a small throw.

After the goal, Bibby didn't celebrate, and immediately returned to the defense with his teammates to avoid the Nuggets from launching a fast break.

D'Antoni's limited experience also led to the Nuggets' single tactics, mainly focusing on fast breaks, and other teams naturally had a way to target.

On the Nuggets' offense, Van Exel passed the ball to McDyes, but Chirkart was very tenacious and constantly entangled with McDis and did not give him an easy shot.

At the same time, the rest of the Grizzlies players were more or less focused on McDyes, ready to pack or cut off the pass.

McDyce tried, and seeing that he couldn't get away from Chirkart, he passed the ball back to Van Exel.

With Clark's block, Van Exel got rid of Bibby and burst forward towards the middle with the ball.

At this time, Parks rushed to help the defense, but Van Exel chose to pass the ball to Clarke, who was in the open space, and the latter scored a dunk.

The Grizzlies' possession of the ball, this ball, Bibby broke through with the help of blocking and dismantling, and after attracting the bag, he broke through the ball and was shot by Raheem.

For a while, you scored a goal, I scored a goal, and the two sides were tied.

After a five-minute break, Ji Liang finally played, but he still focused on 'playing soy sauce', grabbing rebounds, passing assists, and occasionally catching and shooting.

It has to be said that compared with before the ban, Van Exel's pass to Ji Liang is significantly less frequent.

It is a matter of personal interests, and how many people can let it go.

During the official timeout, if there is a tacit understanding between the two sides, they will send a replacement lineup. Ji Liang continued to play, and he still focused on tandem to avoid his teammates becoming a mess of loose sand.

Ji Liang's passing was excellent, but the Nuggets' bench players were hot, and under his conduction, the Nuggets scored more and began to suppress the Grizzlies.

56:39

After the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides continued to widen, and the Nuggets were very efficient, leading by 17 points.

At halftime, even though the sound insulation was excellent, Ji Liang still heard the roar of the Grizzlies head coach.

Hill was very annoyed, and the main lineup finally hung the score in the second quarter, but the replacement lineup was pressed and beaten by the opponent, which was also the culprit for the widening of the point difference.

Everyone is a substitute, why is the gap so big.

Not long after, the break was over and players from both sides returned to play.

Compared to the first half, the Grizzlies have slightly increased defensive intensity, and their defensive aggression has increased significantly.

At the same time, they began to focus on the outside.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Raheem began to exert his strength, hitting Williams again and again, scoring 8 points in a row.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Raheem tried, the gap between the two sides did not narrow, because the Nuggets bench John Taylor and Alexander broke out together, and the shooting percentage of the two remained high, and Alexander even hit two three-pointers.

When it came to the replacement lineup, in order to avoid the score being pulled away again, Raheem continued to play to escort the Grizzlies' bench lineup.

This time, Chi Liang and Rahim were opposed, whether it was strength, height or flexibility, Rahim had no advantage, coupled with Chi Liang's familiarity with back-to-back singles, which caused Rahim's scoring efficiency to begin to decline.

On the offensive end, Chi Liang still focuses on the ball, supplemented by scoring, and in these four minutes, the Nuggets bench is still hot, and he played a wave of 11-5 shockwaves, and Shengsheng widened the difference to 23 points.

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, the Grizzlies chose to give up in advance, so the entire fourth quarter became garbage time, and the two sides tacitly replaced the starting lineup, sent water cooler guards, and began to save strength for the next game.

110:84

At the end of the game, the Nuggets beat the Grizzlies by 26 points, and it has to be said that the Nuggets' overall shooting rate was as high as 57.3%, which shows how hot the hand is.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the Grizzlies' defensive scum.

In this game, McDyeshowe scored 21 points, which was also the highest score in the game.

As for Van Exel, he had a worse performance, with only 9 points and 5 assists.

As for Chi Liang, although he played health basketball, his performance was not bad, even if he did not play in the last quarter, but in the limited time of 28 minutes, he still scored an economic triple-double of 10 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
