During the official timeout, Van Axel led the substitutes.

On the other side, Duncan continued to play to protect the Spurs.

Van Exel's form has dropped slightly compared to before, but he is still able to score. But in addition to him, the rest of the Nuggets' bench is clearly limited by the Spurs' tight defense.

Although the Spurs' bench is mostly composed of second-round picks or undrafted picks, their defense is still strong, and they are undoubtedly better than the Nuggets in terms of experience and run-in.

So, judging from the scene, the Nuggets fell into the bottom again, and for a while they could only use Van Exel's personal ability to score.

On the other hand, the Spurs, Duncan continued to turn over the sea on the inside, coupled with simple pass-and-cut coordination, their shooting percentage was higher, and they began to widen the point difference with the Nuggets.

By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs had a double-digit advantage at 27-17.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Ji Liang came on the court again, and according to the jump ball rules, the Nuggets attacked first.

Under the targeting of the Spurs, including Ji Liang, the Nuggets players did not feel good and were greatly restricted.

Fortson, in particular, was even more furious, being beaten up by Duncan and Robinson in turn, and whoever it was would be angry.

After running to the half-court, Ji Liang soon received a pass from Billups.

Limited by his lack of personal ability, even if Billups knows that the team is in trouble, he is helpless, and now he can only hope that Ji Liang will break out again and turn the situation around.

Ji Liang leaned on Rose, and at the moment when Rose's center of gravity changed, he used Sikma to quickly turn from the back basket to the face frame, opened up the shooting space, and quickly lifted the ball.

His movements were swift and realistic, and Rose jumped subconsciously without thinking about it.

This product has excellent physical fitness, but his IQ is worrying, and he is easy to eat, which is also Rose's biggest flaw.

If Rose can be smarter, with his physical fitness, he will surely be able to establish himself in the league.

After Rose jumped up, he realized that he had caught Chi Liang's path again, but it was obviously too late at this time.

This time, Ji Liang did not take the opportunity to break through, but took the initiative to lean on Rose's arm when Rose fell.

Rose tried to dodge, but there was no time for this.

Syllable~

With a soft sound, at the moment of leaning on Rose, Ji Liang threw a basketball.

Beep~

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew.

Swish~

The basketball is hollow into the basket, and if Rose had made a quick decision to hit his hands hard, the goal would probably not have been scored.

Soon, under the instructions of the referee, Ji Liang stood on the free throw line.

Swish~

After a little adjustment, Ji Liang threw a basketball, accompanied by a soft sound, 3+1 played!

While narrowing the difference, the morale of his teammates also began to rise.

At this time, the Spurs opted for a substitution, replacing Rose with Gerard King and Elliott as the shooting guard.

Gerard King, 206 cm, his weight is on the low side, he doesn't play enough big forwards, and he doesn't have enough speed to play small forwards, so he is a player who is not careful.

There are many players of this type in the NBA, but most of them can't be famous.

But in this way, the height of the Spurs increased again, Robinson 216 cm, Duncan 211 cm, Gerard King 206 cm, Elliott 203 cm, and Johnson was the shortest, only 178 cm.

The Spurs have a lot of long-standing players, and they have undoubtedly increased their defense of the restricted area and the protection of rebounds, which is difficult to do unless the Nuggets players have a good hand.

"It's time to face him again!"

Of the Spurs players present, Elliott was in the most frustrated as he had to face Ji Liang again, a player he least wanted to face.

It didn't take long for Chi Liang to receive the basketball again, leaning towards Elliott, just squeezing it, squeezing out the position and forcing a breakthrough.

Unlike in the past, Elliott was extremely tenacious, even if he didn't stand firm, he still clung to Chi Liang tightly, not giving him a chance to shoot easily.

At the same time, Duncan stepped forward, trying to wrap up Elliott with Ryo Chi.

At the critical moment, Ji Liang flicked his left hand and passed the ball to Fortson.

Fortson stepped forward, jumped to his feet, and tried to put the ball in the basket. As if expected, Robinson completed the defense in an instant, and covered the basketball with his right hand.

In mid-air, Robinson tried his best and finally succeeded in blocking, but the blocked basketball did not fly out, but smashed into Fortson's face.

Boom~

The force attached to the basketball was so great that Fortson lost his balance and eventually fell heavily to the floor.

After seeing Fortson fall to the ground, the fans instantly covered their mouths and looked at the field worriedly.

Just as Chi Liang and his teammates were about to go over, Fortson got up from the ground violently, suddenly rushed to Robinson, stretched out his right hand and pushed people directly.

Perhaps it was not prepared, or it was trying to win the referee's sympathy, but Robinson took a few steps back and then sat down on the ground.

From start to finish, because Fortson was moving too fast, the Nuggets players simply didn't have time to intercept.

Beep~

This scene happened right under the nose of the referee, who, after hesitating for a moment, blew the whistle and gave a technical foul.

David Robinson is one of the four centers, belongs to the superstar group, and naturally has a superstar whistle.

However, this caused Fortson's dissatisfaction, and he immediately stepped forward to find the referee's theory and grabbed the referee's shoulder.

Fortson's brute strength was amazing, and for a moment the referee showed a pained expression.

Ji Liang and his teammates hurriedly stepped forward to separate Fortson from the referee, but it was too late by this time.

Beep~

The referee blew the whistle again and made the same gesture as before, with one palm crossed into a T shape with the other and raised above his head.

Due to Fortson's egregious conduct and repeated violations, he was disqualified from the game by the referee, and he was withdrawn from the game and the same penalty was imposed for the disqualification foul.

"It's over!"

On the Nuggets bench, D'Antoni looked at this scene, and suddenly it was like a frosty turnip, and he was instantly stunned.

In this game, Fortson did become a colander, but his contribution to the Nuggets, everyone saw it, and the loss of Fortson undoubtedly expanded the Spurs' rebounding advantage.

"It's not going to be easy!"

Chi Liang was also quite annoyed, and finally the team had a momentum, but Fortson was too angry and dared to provoke the referee, and he was expelled from the game, which also wiped out this momentum.

Not surprisingly, after losing Fortson, the Spurs completely mastered the rebounding advantage, grabbing offensive rebounds multiple times and playing a second offense.

In this case, the Spurs continue to extend their advantage. As a result, by the end of the first half, the Nuggets had trailed by 20 points.

In the third quarter, Chi Liang began to increase the number of shots, but his feeling was average, coupled with the gap in strength, it still didn't help.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs extended the margin to 26 points again.

Seeing such a result, D'Antoni chose to give up, withdraw the main team, and replace all the substitute players.

After the Nuggets surrendered, the Spurs also made a substitution.

In garbage time, the two sides played fiercely on the bench and began to score points continuously, and finally the Spurs won with a score of 92-73.
