Chapter 136: 'Miller Kick' Reappears in the Rivers and Lakes (Second Update)
After grabbing the rebound, the Nuggets didn't launch a fast break, and Ji Liang threw the ball to Van Exel, who held the ball through the half.
Van Axel broke through with the ball, but he couldn't get rid of Payton's defense for a while, so he had to pass the ball to Chi Liang.
Pollinis sank his weight, he is 211 centimeters tall, although his strength and weight are not inferior, how can he keep up with Chi Liang's footsteps.
In the continuous shaking, feeling the change of Polinis's center of gravity, Ji Liang quickly turned to the right side and broke through.
In the first step, Chi Liang and Polynis are parallel.
In the second step, Chi Liang completed the breakthrough.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Stepania hurriedly stepped forward and launched a defense.
Before Stepania came up, the sound of his shoes rubbing against the floor sounded, and Ji Liang opted for a pull-up jumper.
Boom~
The basketball smashed on the neck of the basket and Schramf grabbed the rebound.
After switching offense and defense, Payton held the ball through the half.
This time, Payton didn't take it personally, and with the help of Stepania's block, Payton successfully broke into the penalty area, and assisted Schramf to shoot a mid-range shot in the lead defense 4.
Boom~
It didn't take long for Ji Liang to receive the basketball again, and he broke through Pollinis again, this time he chose to throw, but the result still ended in iron.
"Oops!"
Ji Liang shook his hand and hit the iron with two consecutive close-range shots, indicating that there was a problem with his hand.
In this case, he had to make a change and use the foul to score free throws.
In addition, it is necessary to grab more rebounds, organize offense, and strengthen defense. As long as you can help the team, you do it yourself and try to do the best you can.
The SuperSonics team's offense, Payton broke through the ball again, Schramf received the ball and shot, but unfortunately this time the force was small, and it bounced back when it touched the basket.
The rebound was strong, the basketball flew out of the box, and finally Owens grabbed the rebound.
Without hesitation, Owens jumped and shot, but at this moment, a figure burst out from the wing and covered the basketball with lightning speed.
This time, instead of flying towards the sideline, the basketball flew towards the opposing half. Van Exel got up to speed and got the basketball first, dangling past Payton in a quick move and making a layup.
Rushing~
Pepsi Center, began to echo the cheers and screams of the fans, and Ji Liang made three blocks in the opening game, which made them excited.
Payton controlled the ball again, Van Exel wrapped around him tightly, and for a moment Payton couldn't get rid of the defense, so he had to give the ball to Schramf.
With Stepania's pick-and-roll, Schramf began to break down the box and immediately passed the ball to Stepania after McDyce chose to switch guards.
After getting the ball, Stepania leaned half-on Williams, glanced up at the basket, leaned to the right, and made a shooting feint.
Due to his height disadvantage, Williams could only jump as hard as he could, regardless of whether it was a feint or not.
Stepania didn't shoot, and after successfully fooling Williams, he stepped to the basket and wanted to score with a slam dunk.
At the critical moment, Ji Liang launched a defense, also jumped up, and collided with Stepania, his body leaned back slightly, and his right hand continued to shoot towards the basketball.
Feeling bad, Stepania hurriedly raised the angle of his hand and threw it towards the basket.
Boom~
The basketball smashed into the basket and bounced high.
In the basket card position battle, Chi Liang took the first step to get stuck in the position, and Stepania wanted to seize the advantageous position, but it turned out that Chi Liang's lower plate was extremely solid, and the deliberately cocked ass made him unable to fully exert his strength, and he squeezed a few times without receiving any effect.
Although he was taller than Ji Liang, he failed to grab the rebound and was easily picked up by Ji Liang.
Not long after, Ji Liang took the initiative to leave the penalty area and received a pass from Van Exel.
For the first time, Chi Liang put on a three-threat posture, and Polynis did not act rashly, opening his hands and sinking his center of gravity to prevent Chi Liang's breakthrough.
In an instant, Chi Liang's left foot stepped out, and his shoulder shook to the left at the same time.
Polynes subconsciously moved his footsteps, wanting to block Chi Liang's breakthrough route.
It's a pity that he was deceived, and Chi Liang used the Buddha worship action to pass Polynis in one step and rush towards the forbidden area.
Stepania stuck McDyce while trying to help Ji Liang.
The next moment, Chi Liang was about to jump against Stepania, and he was about to go to the basket.
Stepania didn't doubt it, and hurriedly jumped to block the other party, but this was a feint, and after he jumped up, Chi Liang took the initiative to meet his arm, and the moment he made contact with Stepania, he threw the basketball out casually.
Syllable~
Stepania was shocked, but at this time, he couldn't help but hit Chi Liang's arm.
Honk~
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.
Boom~
The basketball thrown by Chi Liang did not hit the basket.
After landing on the ground, Ji Liang took a step back and slowed down his strength.
Under the instructions of the referee, Chi Liang stood at the free throw line, patted the basketball, and quickly threw the ball.
Swish~
Swish~
After two free throws and two hits, Ji Liang finally scored two points and turned around to start defending.
The SuperSonics' offense, Payton forced a break through Van Exel, and after attracting the defense, assisted Schramf to hit a three-pointer.
But looking back, Ji Liang once again teased Polynes with his feet and began to rush towards the penalty area.
Not far away, Schramf felt bad and hurriedly rushed towards Chi Liang.
Ji Liang didn't pass the ball and forced a shot at Schramf.
Schramf jumped up, and in order to avoid being fouled, he moved very cleanly, with his hands stretched straight to stop Ji Liang's shot.
Seeing that he couldn't find a chance, Chi Liang had no choice but to take the initiative and deliberately stretched out his left leg to forcibly make physical contact with Schramf.
Schramf wanted to dodge, but where he did, he was instantly touched by Ji Liang's 'Miller kick'.
At the moment of contact, Ji Liang threw the ball casually.
At the moment of landing, Chi Liang pretended to be embarrassed and sat on the ground, trying to win the judge's sympathy.
Honk~
The referee's whistle blew again.
Boom~
The basketball arced through the air and finally smashed into the rebound, bouncing high.
Schramf said he was helpless about the 'Miller kick', but he was also a beneficiary of the 'Miller kick', and it felt normal.
Despite this, Schramf still complained to the referee, and also wanted to win the referee's sympathy, hoping to get more 'care' in the later games.
Ignoring Schramf's complaints, at the referee's signal, Chi Liang stood on the free throw line again.
Swish~
Swish~
No accidents, two more penalties and two hits!
In the later time, whenever there is an opportunity, Ji Liang will break through Polinis, burst into the penalty area to force a foul, and use free throws to score.
