Chapter 198: Advance to the Western Conference Finals

Maybe it's because they haven't rested well, the state of the Trail Blazers players is worrying, the offensive efficiency is not high, and occasionally they will be inexplicably distracted.

In such a state, how can you beat the Nuggets.

Beep~

Dunleavy was forced to call a timeout, and the players from both sides were back on the field.

"Look at what you look like now, look like you're sluggish, cheer me up! If you lose this game, you'll have to go home fishing! ”

Looking at the players one by one, Dunleavy became angry and began to roar at the players to stimulate their fighting spirit.

Amid Dunleavy's roar, the Trail Blazers players barely brisked their spirits and showed better athletic form.

Soon, the pause is over!

After the game restarted, the Trail Blazers players had the idea of chasing points like crazy, and this time, Ryder got rid of the chase defense and went straight to the three-point line to shoot straight to the jumper.

Swish~

The basketball hollowed into the net and recovered three points for the Trail Blazers.

"Attack!"

At the first time, the Nuggets served quickly, and Ji Liang picked up the basketball and rushed towards the opponent's half.

His speed was so fast that he rushed to the front in the blink of an eye.

Stadamire was quicker and returned to the half court first, knowing that Ji Liang's shot was quite good, so he had to meet it.

As he approached, Stoudamire stretched out his right hand and wanted to make a tackle.

At the critical moment, Ji Liang swung his right hand and easily avoided Stoudamire's steal.

Ji Liang didn't pass the ball, his speed had already risen, and he used his strong body to take the initiative to start a physical confrontation with Stodamayr, just a collision, he easily knocked Stodameyer away and rushed straight to the penalty area.

When Ji Liang came to the basket, Ryder finally returned, and immediately turned his body and jumped high and blocked towards the basketball.

It's a pity that this is a shooting feint, and it wasn't until Ryder rose to the highest point that Ji Liang jumped up and took the initiative to put his hand over.

Syllable~

Ryder was caught off guard, and his right hand ended up hitting Ji Liang's arm, and at the same time, Ji Liang threw the basketball in his hand.

Beep~

Naturally, the referee could not be indifferent and immediately blew the whistle.

Swish~

Ji Liang's shot also flew into the basket at this time, and he got a 2+1 opportunity.

Standing at the free throw line, Ji Liang took a deep breath, threw the basketball soothingly, and got into the basket.

Rushing~

2+1 was played, and Lyder's score that was finally narrowed was caught up again in an instant. There was a burst of cheers, and there was no doubt that 2+1 was a more morale-boosting way to score.

At the same time, the morale of the Trail Blazers, which had been hard to boost, also had a downward trend, especially since they were still 15 points behind.

Still, they still have a chance!

Therefore, in the following time, the Trail Blazers were on the offensive, and the only drawback was that the efficiency was not very high, and most of the shots were based on iron.

Their fighting spirit is up, but unfortunately the feel is not very good, except for Ryder, the rest of the people are more or less cold.

On the other side, the Nuggets' feel has also been affected, but relying on fast-break opportunities from time to time, they can still tie with the Trail Blazers.

54:42

At the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides narrowed slightly. In fact, the Trail Blazers were able to hold on without falling, thanks in large part to Ryder's outburst and Sabonis's hard work.

At the beginning of the third quarter, under the arrangement of D'Antoni, Ji Liang did not play immediately, except for Van Exel, the rest were no different from the starters.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers once again sent their strongest lineup to narrow the score as soon as possible.

For the Trail Blazers, it would be quite unfavorable for them if the score continued to expand.

Since the Nuggets won the jump shot, the Trail Blazers took the lead at the start of the third quarter.

This time it was Ryder again, after receiving the ball, he took advantage of his teammates' blocking and dismantling to temporarily get rid of Ji Liang, and after taking two steps, he made a stop-and-go jump shot.

Swish~

Ryder shot very decisively, and the basketball hollow hit to close the gap again.

After he threw in the basketball, regardless of whether he had a chance or not, the Nuggets launched a fast break again, and their offense became more and more like the Suns in later generations.

The Nuggets served quickly and Van Exel advanced with the ball, and he was quick but quickly tangled up by Stadamire.

Van Exel changed direction to break through, but did not shake off Stoudayer and quickly burst into the box under his entanglement.

In an instant, Van Exel jumped to his feet, pulled a bar in the air, and avoided Stadameyer's interference before throwing the ball to the basket.

Bang~唰~

The basketball first spun around the basket and then reluctantly fell into the net.

Rushing~

The fans cheered and cheered, and the stadium was jubilant for a long time!

Under the leadership of Van Exel, the Nuggets were in full swing, and the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, and the Trail Blazers' scores continued to rise, but the Nuggets were able to rely on fast break scores from time to time.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Ji Liang replaced Williams, which is also the strongest lineup of the Nuggets.

Without hesitation, Ji Liang turned on the dynamic vision state, wanting to continue to widen the score difference and further sink the Trail Blazers.

As soon as he got on the court, Ji Liang circled from the bottom line, temporarily got rid of Walter Williams' entanglement, and ran outside the 45° three-point line on the right side.

Van Exel passed, and before Wolft Williams pounced, Ji Liang jumped up and threw a three-pointer.

Swish~

The basketball hollows into the net, swinging a touch of net flowers.

Not long after, using the same method, Ji Liang hit a three-pointer again.

Seeing Chi Liang hit three-pointers in a row, Dunleavy felt bad and shouted to the players on the court: "Run for me, don't let him run out of the empty space!"

Under Dunleavy's instructions, the Trail Blazers players launched a strict defense against Ji Liang, even if he got rid of the defenders, someone would immediately choose to change the defense, and even not give him the opportunity to receive the ball easily.

In this case, Chi Liang immediately changed his strategy and focused on making fouls again, with his ability to make fouls, coupled with the dynamic vision state, it naturally had a good effect.

Not long after, Ryder committed his fifth foul and Dunleavy had to substitute him.

Without Ryder, the Trail Blazers' offensive threat has dropped a notch, and their stamina has taken a heavy toll that has clearly taken a hit.

In just a few minutes, the Nuggets were more efficient, and no matter how hard the Trail Blazers players tried, they could only watch the difference between the two sides get bigger and bigger.

By the end of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers were just 20 points behind, and it was not very difficult to overtake them with only one quarter left.

In this case, the Trail Blazers players are demoralized and give a feeling of slump.

Soon, to the cheers of Nuggets fans, the fourth quarter of the game finally began.

The Trail Blazers didn't give up, first Stoudamire rushed inside to make a layup, and then Ryder hit a three-pointer back on the court, giving them hope of recovering the difference.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and as Chi Liang played 2+1 again, the Nuggets began to work hard and frantically played run-and-bomb tactics.

The Nuggets' offense was crazy wave after wave, and the Trail Blazers could only barely resist, but time was not on their side, and in the end, the Nuggets won the game with a score of 112-98.
