Chapter 140: Assist frenzy

After Chi Liang scored, it could be regarded as stopping the trend of widening the point difference, and the Nuggets finally breathed a sigh of relief and their morale improved.

The offense of the SuperSonics, Payton successfully broke through Van Exel's defense with the help of the pick-and-roll, and after attracting the defense, he passed the ball to Ellis.

At this time, Ellis was in the open position, and after receiving the basketball, he wanted to take up and shoot.

It's a pity that Ji Liang's defense was very fast, and when the basketball flew out of Ellis's hand, Ji Liang rushed over in time.

Under Ellis's horrified gaze, Chi Liang's raised right hand once again sent out a big hat.

This was also the fifth block sent by Ji Liang, and before the end of the first half, it was the same as his personal block record.

Actually, Chi Liang was also very puzzled, among all his data, the cap was undoubtedly the least, and he didn't know what was going on, and the other party came over one after another to get the cap.

Rushing~

After sending the fifth block, the atmosphere of the scene was obviously stirred, and the big screen repeated the performance of Ji Liang, constantly stimulating the hormones of the fans.

After coming back, Ji Liang received the pass again, Schramf clung to him, did not fight with him, and squeezed Schramf aside with an afterburner.

Just as Ji Liang hit the penalty area, before he could make a move, Polinis's vicious pounce and immediately chose a gambling steal and cut towards the basketball.

Ji Liang's reaction was extremely fast, and when Pollinis moved, he immediately threw the basketball to the basket as fast as he could, and then was slapped in the arm by Stepania.

Beep~

Under the instructions of the referee, Ji Liang stood on the free throw line, hit two free throws, and scored two points again.

At this time, due to Stepania's three fouls, the supersonic head coach replaced him with Polinis.

In addition, in order to limit Chi Liang, he also replaced Aaron Williams with him, and he was the main defense of Chi Liang.

Compared to Schramf, Aaron Williams is physically stronger and more flexible, but the disadvantages are obvious, namely his limited ball intelligence and easy to get hot.

It didn't take long for Chi Liang to catch the ball again and continue to break through to the basket, although Aaron Williams had good physical fitness, but under the shaking of Chi Liang, it was easy to lose position.

Ji Liang seized the opportunity and easily threw Aaron Williams behind him, and was about to break through to the penalty area with the ball.

Aaron Williams didn't give up, rushing into the box from behind, and was about to play with Polinis, who was helping to defend.

However, before they could wrap it up, Chi Liang immediately chose to pass the ball, and in a change of direction, passed the ball out of Pollinis's open armpit.

Pollinis was shocked and tried to clamp his arm, but he was obviously a step late, and Clark received the basketball and immediately scored a dunk to erase the gap again.

After being broken through once, perhaps because of the gains and losses, Aaron Williams' defense showed some looseness, like a marionette, and was led by the nose by Chi Liang.

Ji Liang seized the opportunity, relying on his personal ability, and was fouled by Polinice and Aaron Williams in a row, and scored 6 points in a row with free throws.

In this case, the SuperSonics chose a timeout, and when the timeout ended, Aaron Williams was obviously instructed by the SuperSonics head coach to start shooting when Ji Liang received the ball again.

The supersonic head coach saw everything, don't look at Ji Liang's scores, but if you look closely, you will find that most of them come from free throws.

Look at Ji Liang's hit rate, 6 shots and 2 hits, this doesn't explain the problem!

Seeing Aaron Williams' actions, Ji Liang's expression did not change, but jumped straight up and threw the basketball.

Such a close distance, coupled with the opponent's unguarded throwing, it is difficult to interfere with him, even if he has a poor hand, he still has a high hit rate.

When Ji Liang was shooting, Aaron Williams finally reacted, but there was still time at this time.

Swish~

When he turned around, he saw the basketball hollow into the net.

Seeing that Aaron Williams was a little hesitant, the supersonic head coach came to the sidelines and shouted at Aaron Williams: "Let him throw, it's just a balloon just now!"

Soon, the supersonic head coach was slapped in the face, because in the next offense, Ji Liang made another close shot and hit the basket.

This time, Aaron Williams turned his head to look at the manager, revealing a hint of what to do.

The supersonic head coach fell into deep thought, and for a while he couldn't think of a way, how to restrain Chi Liang, which became his biggest problem.

On the defensive end, whether it is hitting with his back or turning and breaking through, Aaron Williams can't help Chi Liang.

"Wrap up, don't give him an easy chance to score!" In desperation, the supersonic head coach chose to settle for the next best.

However, Ji Liang changed his routine and began to assist his teammates to score.

In the following time, Chi Liang continued to ask for the ball in the low post, assisted his teammates to score again and again, and led the team to climb steadily.

So, from the 6th minute of the second quarter to the end of the first half, the commentator began to describe Ji Liang's assists constantly.

"Ji Liang received the ball in the low post, broke through Aaron Williams in one step, broke through the ball, and Billups, who was at the top of the arc, received the ball and shot, and hit a three-point shot!"

"With the help of cover, Ji Liang began to storm the penalty area, and after defending Payton's defense, he hit the ground and passed, and Van Exel hit the shot!"

"There was chaos under the basket, Ji Liang grabbed the offensive rebound, he chose to pass, and Clark scored a dunk!"

"It's our Denver Light again, after receiving the basketball, driving straight from the middle, he attracts the superSonics to the bag, wow, don't look at the pass, Billups hit another three!"

……

In just six minutes, with the assistance of Ji Liang, the Nuggets were on the offensive, and his passing was extremely efficient, and almost every pass could be converted into a score. During the period, a wave of 16:5 shockwaves was played, which directly stretched the score difference to double digits.

Under Ji Liang's combing, the Nuggets will be extremely efficient, and all they have to do is shoot the ball into the basket.

64:52

The home team was in front, the away team was behind, and when the first half was over, Ji Liang scored 16 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals.

If nothing else, it will be another triple-double, or even a quadruple-double if played well.

In the home team's locker room, D'Antoni pointed to the tactics board and said to the Nuggets: "The tactics for the second half remain the same, but we still have to speed up the offense, I've seen the SuperSonics' itinerary, they just went through back-to-back games not long ago, and the fitness is likely to be affected, this is our chance!"

In contrast to D'Antoni, the SuperSonics head coach has repeatedly emphasized that his players should reduce their tempo while keeping a tight guard against the Nuggets' fast break.
