Chapter 33 Individual Scoring Patterns
In the next few rounds, O'Neill was obviously much more cautious, as long as Ji Liang made a sneak attack, he immediately distributed the ball to the outside.
O'Neill played for 30 minutes, and at this time he was constantly panting and his strength was on the verge of limit.
If it was in his heyday, even if Ji Liang assisted in defense, O'Neill would definitely choose to attack strongly rather than distribute the ball.
O'Neal's distribution targets were mostly given to Kobe and Jones, who were very efficient offensively against the Nuggets' bench players.
As for the Lakers' defense, they still dominated the pack, and began to empty Clark and Fortson, who had poor shooting ability, and let Chi Liang distribute the ball to them.
The teammates were not strong enough and wasted opportunities one after another, resulting in the score that was finally overtaken, which was easily erased by the Lakers, and then re-overtook the score.
The Nuggets' bench is too poor in strength after all.
"It's your turn to stand up!"
Ji Liang thought silently, just now he was mainly organization-oriented, but now his teammates are inefficient, and he has to change his style of play and start to focus on individual attacks.
After Chi Liang received the basketball, Kobe lowered his center of gravity and reached out to shake back and forth, trying to affect Chi Liang's rhythm.
Without hesitation, Chi Liang turned his back again, his legs and waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and began to hit Kobe.
Even if his low-post skills are not yet mature, with his physical fitness, he still has a big advantage against most No.3 players.
Boom~
Under the strong impact, Kobe frowned, and his feet couldn't stop retreating.
Kobe Bryant said that he was helpless, Chi Liang's strength was too strong, and he couldn't block the opponent's back hit at all.
This time, Chi Liang did not continue to advance, and at the moment of knocking back Kobe, Chi Liang seized the fleeting shooting opportunity and directly turned over and jumped.
Kobe Bryant was pressed by Chi Liang and could barely jump, so he could only straighten his arms hard, trying to block Chi Liang's sight.
It's a pity that in the dynamic field of vision, Chi Liang made slight adjustments in the process of turning over, and threw the basketball in his hand in a more stretched posture.
Swish~
The basketball crossed an arc and finally went into the net without suspense.
In the next round, Ji Liang continued to single Kobe Bryant in the low post, turning over and jumping again and again, maintaining a high shooting rate.
One trick is eaten all over the world, although he knew that the other party would come to this trick, but Kobe Bryant was still helpless, and was succeeded by Chi Liang one after another.
The game began to fall into a scorching situation, and Chi Liang single-handedly fought against the Lakers, and did not fall into much disadvantage for a while, setting sail for the Nuggets without being opened up too much.
The Lakers win because the players are more capable, with O'Neal as the leader, Kobe Bryant and Jones as the auxiliary, even if the Nuggets bench is desperately defending, but after all, they can't make up for the gap in strength.
On the other side, Chi Liang turned on the personal scoring mode, and led the substitute lineup to move forward with his own strength.
Honk~
It didn't take long for Harris to take another timeout and replace Jones with Corey Blunt as a small forward.
Corey Blunt is 206 cm, 109 kg, originally a power forward, and Harris used him as a small forward, nothing more than to stop Ji Liang's low singles.
On the other side, the Nuggets sent McDies and Billups on the court, and Van Exel continued to rest.
In the first three quarters of the game, although Van Exel was in a state of explosion, it also made him consume too much physical strength, and he has not recovered until now.
Center McDyce, big forward Fortson, small forward Ryo Ike, point guard Sticky and point guard Billups.
Although Billups acts as a point guard, under D'Antoni's tactics, the ball is still distributed by Ji Liang.
After half-time, Billups passed the ball to Ji Liang and then ran towards the bottom left corner to pull away the defender.
This time, Ji Liang did not continue to play in the low post, Corey Blount was taller than him, heavier than him, and with his half-hung low singles, the efficiency was definitely not high.
After receiving the ball, Ji Liang held the ball in both hands, squatted slightly, and made a triple threat pose.
Corey Blunt had a solemn expression, his hands wide open, staring at Chi Liang, ready to move his feet at any time.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Chi Liang's left arm trembled, and Blount thought that Chi Liang was going to break through to the left, and subconsciously leaned to the right.
It's a pity that this is a feint, under the opening of the dynamic vision, Blunte's every move was watched by Chi Liang, and he instantly noticed the flaw.
In an instant, Ji Liang broke through to the other side with the ball.
Blount wanted to block, but his speed was not as good as Chi Liang's, and his body was inclined to the right side, so it would be too reluctant to block it at this time.
In the tangled situation, Blunt's legs trembled, and he could no longer control his body, and was shaken to the ground by Chi Liang.
After breaking through Blunt, Chi Liang rushed into the penalty area, O'Neill hurriedly stepped forward, raised his arms high, and with his huge body, it felt like a wall of flesh.
In high-speed sports, Ji Liang continued to break through with the ball, and wanted to use his speed to force O'Neal.
But the penalty area is so big, but O'Neill is very flexible, and he blocked Ji Liang's breakthrough space first.
Seeing that he couldn't break through, Ji Liang chose to pass the ball, and while leaning on O'Neal, he handed the ball to McDyce from the opponent's armpit.
Bang dang~
Without hesitation, McDies dunked with both hands to score two points for the Nuggets.
Time passed slowly, O'Neal was exhausted, scoring efficiency began to decline, and the already small point difference was quickly pulled in, and there was a possibility of overtaking at any time.
There are 3 minutes left before the end of the game, and the Nuggets' ball is still dominated by Ji Liang.
In order to prevent Ji Liang from breaking through, Blount specially pulled away a step.
At this time, Ji Liang raised the ball high, stared at the basket tightly, bent his knees slightly, and made a forced shooting posture.
Blount's heart suddenly struck, and he hurriedly raised his hands, and his feet were even more up.
At this moment, Ji Liang took the ball back, broke through Blount with one step, and once again held the ball into the penalty area.
After Chi Liang broke through, McDyce hurriedly moved sideways and took O'Neill away, and the originally crowded penalty area instantly became much empty, providing Chi Liang with space to break through.
JR Ryder hurriedly stepped forward and took a position under the basket.
Chi Liang took a stride, wanting to open up the shooting space with the crab walking pace. Red hurriedly moved sideways and hurriedly blocked in front of Chi Liang.
At this time, Ji Liang's body rose into the air, and while leaning on Red, he switched the ball to his left hand, his fingers trembled slightly, and hooked the ball to the basket.
Syllable~
Red wanted to stop it, but he couldn't reach it at all, so he had to hit Ji Liang's arm and wanted to stop the ball with a foul.
Honk~
The referee's whistle sounded, and at the same time, the basketball spun around the basket and slipped into the net.
"Well done!"
McDyce ran over and pulled Ji Liang up from the ground.
Soon, Ji Liang hit a penalty and successfully overtook the score.
