"Chi Liang, how do you feel?"

After the players left the field, D'Antoni came to Chi Liang specifically, and now he obviously attaches a lot of importance to Chi Liang.

"Coach, I'm in good shape, I can play the whole game."

Chi Liang told the truth, he only played for eight minutes, even if he played the fourth quarter, it would add up to twenty minutes.

Even if he is in a dynamic field of vision, Ji Liang is enough to maintain twenty minutes, and it is difficult to say any more.

After returning to the court, Ji Liang found that the Suns had changed their lineup, with Danny Manning at center, Gogliotta mentioning the power forward position, Marco Milic as small forward, and Chapman and Kidd in the backcourt.

The Suns sacrificed a small lineup, and the tallest Manning was 208 cm, and the mobility was significantly enhanced, effectively stopping the Nuggets' fast break.

The Nuggets possessed the ball, and while Van Exel was holding the ball, Ji Liang began to look at his opponent.

Milic is a swingman of the front guard, and he is on the short side, half a head shorter than Chi Liang.

Although the height is not enough, Milic's physical fitness is absolutely explosive, and his speed is no worse than Chi Liang, even if his strength is not much inferior.

In order to win the game, Danny Angie wanted to limit Ji Liang's play.

"Nick, ball!"

Outside the three-point line, Ji Liang blocked Milic and tried to ask Van Exel.

After a little hesitation, Van Exel still passed the ball to Ji Liang.

Although known as Van Lunattic, Van Exel has a strong desire to win. Especially after being sold by the Lakers at a cabbage price, he wants to prove himself even more.

From his point of view, Ji Liang has a height advantage, and with Ji Liang's projection ability, this is definitely a big advantage.

Milic wanted to grab it, but Ji Liang's legs seemed to be rooted, and he didn't squeeze through, so he had to give up in the end.

Catching the basketball with both hands, Ji Liang took a three-threat pose, his knees slightly bent, his waist straight, his body leaning forward slightly, and his eyes looking straight ahead.

Putting on a triple threat posture is equivalent to being ready to pass, shoot and break.

Milic didn't dare to grab it, so he could only stare at Chi Liang tightly, ready to deal with it at any time.

At this time, Chi Liang raised his hands slightly and stretched out to the right, as if he wanted to 'worship the Buddha' to break through from the right.

Milic subconsciously moved, but at this moment, Ji Liang withdrew his hands, then jumped high and threw the ball to the basket.

Milic slowed down, and by the time he jumped, Ji Liang had already thrown the basketball.

Brush~

Without any interference, Ji Liang easily threw the ball into the basket and widened the gap to five points.

Switching offense and defense, Kidd dribbled across half court with the ball, faced Van Exel's defense, and shot a three-pointer against the opponent.

Whether it's height, weight, or strength, these are Kidd's strengths.

While Kidd is known for his playmaking, he also has a certain ability to score.

Van Exel wanted to block it, but the difference in weight between the two alone was more than 20 pounds, and it was difficult to impose much restriction on Kidd.

This shot finally hit the basket and re-opened the gap to two points.

In the next few minutes, the pace of the game was noticeably faster, and the scores of both sides began to rise rapidly.

Thanks to Ji Liang's high efficiency and McDyce's personal ability, the Nuggets gradually widened the point gap.

In the first half of the quarter, the Nuggets went on an 18-12 run, and the difference between the two sides was close to double digits.

In this process, Chi Liang's statistics are also rising, with 10 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds efficiently, and he has the possibility of a triple-double.

As long as he gets a triple-double, with Ji Liang's age, he can break the record of the youngest triple-double.

At the same time, this is also Ji Liang's debut, and as long as he achieves a triple-double, he can become the second player to start with a triple-double on his career debut after Oscar Robertson.

If he gets 20+10, he will become only the third player after Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas to contribute 20+10 points and assists on his career debut.

Achieving two of those three records would earn a spot on the NBA's most stunning debut.

Breaking records means a lot to a player and also elevates a player's status.

Ji Liang doesn't want to give up, and there is no reason to give up, this is the best time for him to take the position.

However, it is still very difficult to achieve the conditions, especially in terms of rebounding.

In this case, Ji Liang had to find Lafrenz, who was back on the field.

"La Frenz, I need your help!"

"Man, I'd love to help you, say, what kind of help do you need?"

A few months of getting along, coupled with a few good passes from Chi Liang for him, made Lafrenz even more precious about this friendship.

"Man, I see an opportunity to complete a triple-double on my debut, but the last thing I'm sure about is rebounding, so I need your help!"

"No problem, I'll see you later!"

Hearing Chi Liang's request, Lafrenz was surprised and patted his chest and agreed.

It was also at this time that Kidd held the ball past half court, and Ji Liang began to follow Milic.

In this ball, Kidd did not choose to pass, and once again stood up to Van Exel, shooting a three-pointer.

Boom~

Unfortunately, the ball smashed on the neck of the basket, and Lafrentz stuck the Suns center, and finally Ji Liang grabbed the defensive rebound.

This time, instead of handing the ball to Van Exel, Ji Liang dribbled through the half court alone.

Milic wanted to grab it, but he couldn't find a chance at all, so he could only stand on the three-point line and keep an eye on Ji Liang.

Ji Liang controlled the ball with his right hand, and the frequency of basketball slapping became faster and faster.

Milic bent his knees, his eyes fixed on Chi Liang, and he didn't dare to relax at any time.

The next moment, Ji Liang moved, trying to break through from the right side of Milic.

Milic was startled, and hurriedly stepped on small steps to block the direction. At the moment when the two were about to make contact, Ji Liang pulled the basketball, completed the turn in an instant, and successfully broke through Milic.

After being broken through by Chi Liang, Milic hurriedly turned around and chased after Chi Liang.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Liang rushed into the restricted area, then jumped high and made a slam dunk action.

"Get down for me!"

At this moment, Danny Manning stepped forward to assist in the defense, instantly rushed in front of Chi Liang, and also jumped up. His right arm was stretched out, and he wanted to finish the block.

Unexpectedly, Ji Liang did not dunk, and his right hand flicked backwards, which was a pass from behind.

The basketball was caught by Lafrentz, who was in the open position, and without any hesitation, Lafrentz chose to shoot.

Brush~

The flying basketball entered the net in response, adding an assist to Chi Liang, and the difference between the two sides also reached double digits.
