Chapter 196: The Fans Suffer
After arriving at the stadium, the sharp-eyed Stadameyer suddenly found that some of the Trail Blazers fans who had come all the way to support them were quite embarrassed.
It turned out that not only the Trail Blazers received a 'warm welcome' from Nuggets fans, but also Trail Blazers fans received special treatment.
In order to advance to the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets owner did everything he could, and with his covert support, launched a series of responses to the Trail Blazers.
When the Trail Blazers fans entered the stadium, the security guards at the Pepsi Center not only confiscated their cheering tools, but also searched their bodies several times during the ticket check-in, and even some security guards deliberately pulled the Trail Blazers fans.
On top of that, some Nuggets fans were mixed in with the security crowd and deliberately attacked the unarmed Trail Blazers fans with eggs, causing chaos for a while.
Although such an accident will definitely be punished by the league, it is only a matter of tens of thousands of dollars, and compared with the benefits gained from advancing to the Western Conference Finals, it is just a drizzle.
In fact, except for the Nuggets, other teams have done similar things, and as long as the benefits are enough, they are willing to pay a certain price.
Before the start of the game, countless fans began to gather, and the seats were full for a while, surrounded by black heads.
And many fans who didn't grab their tickets, they didn't leave, but gathered outside the stadium and watched the big screen.
"Whew!" In the locker room of the home team, Chi Liang took a deep breath, and his heart began to become unwavering, and his heart was like water.
At this time, he needs to be quiet and adjust to the best level.
"Get on the field!" As soon as D'Antoni's words fell, Ji Liang opened his eyes and went on the field with his teammates.
At seven o'clock in the evening, players from both sides came to the field, indicating that the fifth game was about to begin.
Nuggets starters: Clark, Fortson, Williams, Ji Liang and Billups.
D'Antoni fielded the same starting line-up as in the previous game, with Van Exelt continuing to lead the bench.
Trail Blazers starters: Sabonis, O'Neal Jr., Grant, Jim Jackson and Stoudamire.
Unlike the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers have changed their lineup and have a significant height advantage.
Among them, Sabonis's injury is not yet good, and he, like Chi Liang, is playing with injuries. But I don't know if it was his own idea or the instructions of the Trailblazers' management.
"Huh, what's going on with them?" On the pitch, Van Exel pointed to the Trail Blazers players, full of doubts.
At this time, all the Trail Blazers players have dark circles under their eyes, and the black people are okay, covered by black skin, and white people like Sabonis are too obvious.
"I guess I didn't sleep, whatever, the worse their state, the better it is for us!"
Chi Liang thought for a moment and replied.
Soon, the game begins!
In the jump ball stage, perhaps because of the injury, Clark beat Sabonis and won the jump ball easily, and the Nuggets attacked first.
Aggro!
The first time, the Nuggets hurry up!
The Trail Blazers were caught off guard, thinking Sabonis would be able to win the jump ball, causing them to be unprepared.
Billups received the ball and quickly pushed it forward, he didn't stick to the ball, and before Stoudamire rushed over, passed the ball to Ji Liang, who ran into the bottom corner.
Jackson hurriedly pounced, Ji Liang flicked his right hand, and Clark, who rushed to the penalty area, jumped up and poured the ball into the basket hard.
Bang dang~
In the air relay, the Nuggets took the lead and scored two points first.
It was just a ball, and the Trail Blazers were unaffected, with Stadamire holding the pace and waiting for his teammates to get in place.
Due to Stodamire's speed, Billups was more than a step away from him, seemingly unguarded, but because Stodameyer was too short, he was still able to give him enough interference.
After his teammates were in position, Stadamire handed the ball to Sabonis and pulled away from his teammates.
As long as Sabonis is in hot form, their winning chances will definitely increase.
No way, the Nuggets don't have a strong interior line.
Sabonis leaned his back against Clark, his back quickly exerting force, and Clark felt very uncomfortable and involuntarily began to retreat.
Both in tonnage and strength, Clark is quite different.
After pushing to the edge of the box, Sabonis shook his shoulders and gave the impression that he could turn around at any moment.
In these games, Clarke knows a little more about Sabonis, but he understands that it is still difficult to limit Sabonis, and all he can do is interfere as much as possible.
Feeling Clark's center of gravity change, Sabonis quickly completed the turn, leaning sideways against Clark, raising his right hand to use a hook hand.
Clark didn't feel good, and he barely jumped up, he didn't reach the basketball, but his right hand was in the shape of an eagle's claw, making an eye-gouging gesture.
Under Clark's interference, Sabonis was hit by iron, and the rebound was easily grabbed by Fortson.
Just then, Studamayre rushed over and tried to snatch the basketball.
Fortson had no choice but to hold the basketball, and by the time Stoudamire left, the Nuggets had lost their chance to break fast.
The Nuggets didn't go fast, Billups pushed forward slowly, and then passed the ball to Ji Liang.
This time, Ji Liang's opponent is Jim Jackson, the league's famous prodigal son on the court, who is on the heavy side of the quarterback.
When it comes to Jim Jackson, many people think of the famous 'Three Musketeers of Dallas'. In the 1994-95 season, Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson and Jemal Mashburn averaged 61.5 points per game for the team by virtue of their outstanding play and tacit cooperation with each other, which once terrified the league's teams.
Unfortunately, the overall strength of the West was too strong at that time, and in the end, the Mavericks only won 36-46 and missed the playoffs.
By the 1995-96 season, the trio were still impressive, but unfortunately they were young and energetic at the time, and they all wanted to be the boss of the team. So all three of them played on the court, they didn't pass the ball to each other, and they fought alone, although all three of them had dazzling statistics, but in the end the Mavericks only won 26 games all season, ranking fifth from the bottom of the league, and eventually led to a parting of ways.
Jackson was stronger, but Ji Liang still had the upper hand, and after a few steps on his back, he pressed Jackson's single jumper.
Boom~
The basketball smashed out of the basket, and Sabonis grabbed the rebound.
"Referee, he just pushed me!" Before the opponent attacked, Ji Liang complained to the referee and wanted to gain the referee's sympathy.
"Bastard, I didn't!" Jackson naturally denied it, but in the process of Ji Liang's shooting, he did push it without a trace.
The Trail Blazers' offense, Sabonis again, this time he opted for a turnaround jumper.
Clarke made timely physical contact with him, interfering with Sabonis' take-off, and then straightening his arm to interfere with his shot.
Boom~
Clarke's defense was very good, coupled with Sabonis's poor form, and he didn't hit the shot.
Not only Sabonis, but the other Trail Blazers players are not in great shape, and most of their shots end in iron.
For a while, the Nuggets began to gain the upper hand.
