Since Ji Liang came to the Nets, Jill has been full of hostility towards him, perhaps because he was robbed of last season's steal king, or because of the core makeup photos, or both.

Therefore, as long as the ball is in the hands of Gil, even if Chi Liang has a chance, Gil will not choose to pass the ball and act more as a finisher.

Soon, Jill jumped again, but this time Miller was prepared and jumped hard to interfere with Jill's shot.

Boom~

Under Miller's defense, Gill didn't feel very good, the basketball was beaten, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

After winning the rebound, Davis passed the ball to Jackson, who dribbled through the halfcourt from the backcourt.

As the players on both sides began to settle down, Jackson spotted an opportunity, took advantage of a step away from Armstrong, seized the fleeting opportunity, and suddenly fired a cold arrow to shoot a big two.

Swish~

The basketball hollowed into the net and scored two more points for the Pacers.

7:13

With the home team up front and the visitors behind, the Pacers were more efficient and clearly dominated the court thanks to Gill.

Honk~

Seeing that the Nets were not feeling good, Coach Rivers immediately called a timeout, and he had to make a change.

Although he is only a rookie coach, Coach Rivers has already seen the crux of the problem and has a headache in his heart.

Coach Rivers knows a thing or two about Kendall Gill, and he played with him many times as a player.

Gill was the No. 5 pick in the first round in 1990, and he averaged 20.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game as a sophomore and gave him an all-around feel.

However, this is not the greatest value of Jill's game, his horror lies in the defense, and in the NBA for many years, Gill has been a diligent and active defender, he is not afraid of physical contact, is good at judging the opponent's passing and receiving lines, and is an excellent outside blocker.

"We need to make a change, Chauncey, you're going to come on in place of Gil in a minute, and you have to remember to speed up the game, and don't forget about the defense, and the control of the rebound!"

While speaking, Coach Rivers ignored Jill's ugly expression and turned to Chi Liang and said, "Chi Liang, you are the core of the team, I hope you can increase the number of shots and attract the attention of the other party!"

"I see!" Chi Liang was still concise, but his eyes were a little sharper.

At the end of the timeout, Armstrong advanced with the ball and hoisted it to Ji Liang.

The Nets' tactics are very simple, and the positional battle relies more on Chi Liang to open up the situation in order to drive tactical changes.

This time, Ji Liang stood at the front of the penalty area, leaning on Schmitz with his back, without any tentative thoughts, using Sikma steps, Chi Liang completed the turn and opened up the shooting space.

Schmitz is also a good low-post player, and naturally has a deep understanding of back-to-back skills, so he hurriedly stepped forward and even used his arms hard.

At the moment when Schmitz stepped forward, Ji Liang collected the basketball, broke through Schmitz in one step, and easily threw the ball into the basket before Davis helped defend.

Schmitz shrugged his shoulders, he was helpless about this ball, not to mention that he had fallen below his peak, even if he was in his prime, he couldn't stop it.

No way, the other party is too fast, in speed and flexibility, obviously surpassing him.

The Pacers' offense, after holding the ball past half court, Jackson first waited for a while, and after finding that his teammates had no chance, he still leaned back against Armstrong and turned on the back-to-back mode.

Armstrong stood up to Jackson, his forehead muscles bulging, and he obviously exerted all his strength, but Jackson's bottom plate was very steady, and his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't shake it.

Plus, both in strength and weight, Jackson had the upper hand. Under his impact, Armstrong was forced to continue to retreat.

In the process of backplaying, Jackson felt Armstrong's center of gravity change, and when he noticed that his center of gravity had shifted, he immediately broke through to the right.

In the blink of an eye, Jackson was parallel to Armstrong and wanted to shoot immediately.

But at this time, Chi Liang assisted in defense in time and also jumped up.

At the moment when the basketball was thrown, Chi Liang's fingertips touched the basketball slightly, causing the flight trajectory of the basketball to shift significantly.

Boom~

The basketball didn't go in, and he slammed into the front of the basket, and Cage immediately took his rich card experience and easily pocketed the backcourt rebound.

The first moment, Rose ran up and waved his hands, giving the Pacers time to step back.

By the time Cage got out of the way and the Pacers were back, he had to pass the ball to Armstrong, who led him through the half.

This time, after Ji Liang was on his feet, Armstrong passed the ball to him again and then separated from his teammates, giving him plenty of space to play alone.

During this period of joint training, there is no shortage of intra-team competitions, and they have a deeper understanding of Chi Liang's strength, which gives them the feeling that it is a combination of Olajuwon + magician!

This time, Ji Liang did not continue to turn his back, but chose to attack with a face frame.

Looking at Chi Liang facing him, Schmitz didn't dare to be careless, and immediately lowered the center of gravity of his body, stretched out his left hand in front of Chi Liang's eyes, and raised his right hand high.

In an instant, Chi Liang's hands moved, his shoulders shook, and regardless of whether Schmitz was shaken or not, his right foot immediately took a step back, and his feet bent slightly, as if there were signs of shooting.

Without hesitation, Schmitz hurriedly took a step forward, compressing the space and straightening his arms.

He has the advantage of height and reach, even if he doesn't jump, he can also limit Ji Liang's shooting.

Ji Liang didn't shoot, but stepped with his left foot, forcing Schmitz to retreat, trying to stick to Ji Liang and move sideways.

In this process, Ji Liang's left hand is separated by Schmitz, and his right knee is bent sharply, pressing his center of gravity very low. Then, with the right foot as the axis, the left foot rotates, and the hands are slightly raised, facing the basket again.

This time, because Ji Liang's movements were too realistic, Schmitz jumped up subconsciously, and when he jumped up, he found that he had been deceived again.

After deceiving Schmitz, Chi Liang stepped into the penalty area, Davis wanted to help defend, but saw Chi Liang shake his hands and make a passing action, and couldn't help but stop in a hurry.

There is no doubt that this is another feint, and the opportunity is fleeting, and in the moment when Davis hesitated, Ji Liang rushed to the basket with a step and scored an easy layup.

"It feels so familiar!"

"How does his movements, how do they look like Olajuwon's dreamy steps?"

……

Seeing Chi Liang's way of scoring, many viewers were stunned for a moment, and then erupted in amazing cheers.

When people were suspicious, Larry Bird showed a look of annoyance, he hadn't seen him for more than two months, and he felt that Ji Liang's footsteps seemed to have improved again.
