Boom~

Perhaps just after coming on the court, Grant's shot missed, and he was grabbed by Fortson for the rebound.

In the first time, the Trail Blazers quickly returned to the defense to avoid being beaten into a fast attack by the Nuggets.

Without Sabonis's drag, the Trail Blazers' return defense is significantly faster, and the Nuggets want to play a fast break, which is undoubtedly more difficult.

Of course, without Sabonis and Wallace, the Trail Blazers' interior offensive will be difficult to develop.

The immature O'Neal Jr. is not yet able to bear the team's offense, and the offense is mainly based on secondary offense and slam dunk.

Most coaches like to have a fixed lineup, and then just decide on the basic tactics and then watch the players play on the spot. Even after some coaches determine the lineup, even if the players are injured, in order to avoid affecting the whole, they will not replace the players.

This is the case with Chi Liang, except that it is not D'Antoni who asks him to play, but the team management.

A lot of team management, in front of interests, they will not be considerate of the players, even the core of the team.

The Nuggets' offense, there was no chance of a fast break, and Billups pressed the rhythm and slowly came to the frontcourt.

According to the team's arrangement, Ji Liang did not run, but came to the corner outside the three-point line, and it was Ryder who defended him.

Ryder is physically strong, but his height is only 196 cm, which is more than half a head different from Ji Liang.

"Oops!"

Seeing the height difference between the two, Dunleavy frowned instantly.

"Chauncey, ball!"

After standing up, Ji Liang received a pass from Billups, and without any hesitation, Ji Liang jumped up and shot with Ryder's left hand.

For some players with a poor sense of distance, shooting in the bottom corner becomes more difficult to master because there is no rebound as a reference. But for players with a good sense of distance, without rebounding, it is more convenient to shoot.

Ji Liang is such a person, in the bottom corners of both sides, his shooting percentage is higher.

Swish~

The basketball touches the basket and bounces into the net. The difference in height and reach between the two men is obvious, resulting in Ryder's defense being almost useless.

Hitting a three-pointer in the opening game greatly increased Chi Liang's confidence and gave him great confidence, and today's hand may not be very hot.

For the Trail Blazers, Chi Liang hit a three-pointer on the court, which made them feel bad in their hearts.

The most feared thing for the pioneers is Chi Liang, and every time this goods break out, they will become quite dangerous.

The Trail Blazers' offense, they also focused on the outside, using the advantage of speed and agility, Stoudamire successfully broke through Billups, and faced the defensive Fortson is a small throw.

Swish~

2:3

The Nuggets' second offense, perhaps Chi Liang shot a three-pointer at the beginning, which greatly increased the confidence of his teammates, so the ball was passed to Chi Liang again.

This time, Chi Liang began to play singles with his back, and although Ryder was strong, he still had a significant gap with Chi Liang, and he kept retreating.

Due to Chi Liang's excellent organizational ability, the Trailblazers did not dare to trap Chi Liang, so they could only let Ryder resist.

After pressing to the edge of the penalty area, Ji Liang turned violently, raised his left hand, and hooked the ball into the basket sideways.

At this time, Ryder looked at Dunleavy on the sidelines, showing a helpless expression.

Chi Liang is too bullying, the height and arm span of the inside line, but he plays the point guard position, which is like Durant in later generations, who obviously has the height and arm span of a center, but plays the small forward position, thus forming a misalignment advantage.

Of course, height and reach are one thing, but speed is also key, which is why most players can't do it. However, Chi Liang has a speed comparable to that of a defender, which can limit Ryder's play to a certain extent, which is also the reason for Ryder's despair.

"I can only change the defense, but who is better to defend?"

Actually, Dunleavy is also very troubled, change O'Neal Jr., then who will sit in the penalty area; As for Grant, he can also carry Chi Liang, but his speed is much worse; Walter Williams, the speed is enough, but the problem is that I can't bear it......

In short, no matter who is sent, Chi Liang can take advantage of his physical advantages and is difficult to be restricted.

This also fulfills the sentence, those who are stronger than me are not as fast as me, and those who are faster than me are not as strong as me!

No matter how Dunleavy struggled, in the next attack, Chi Liang continued to bully Ryder, and in the face of the 'short' Ryder, Chi Liang used jump shots to solve the battle with great ease.

Whether it's a back-to-back single or a jumper, Ryder has very little pressure to give.

was beaten by Chi Liang in a row, which made Ryder feel very shameless, so on the offensive end, he began to take the initiative to ask for the ball.

After receiving the ball, Ryder broke through on the left side, and he was well aware that Ji Liang's right index finger was injured, which was also his flaw.

Ryder was a little surprised, because when he broke through, Ji Liang did not intercept laterally, and he easily broke through.

After his finger injury, Ji Liang changed his defensive strategy, and when Ryder broke through, he immediately completed the turn, and instantly paralleled Ryder, using his physical advantage to start squeezing Ryder.

Chirping~

At the edge of the penalty area, Ryder made a sharp stop, then pulled up and thrown.

Ji Liang couldn't brake and opened up two steps away from Ryder, but he was stunned to interfere with Rydell's shooting with his height and arm span.

Boom~

Ryder shot and hit the iron, and he wanted to fight for the rebound, but was easily stuck by Ji Liang, and Fortson grabbed the rebound.

In order to avoid aggravating the finger injury, Ji Liang didn't have the idea of grabbing rebounds, but it was still okay to help his teammates get in the position, not to mention that his teammates also helped him a lot.

Looking back, Ji Liang, who was standing in the bottom corner, received the basketball again, but just as he was about to shoot, Ryder suddenly hugged him and gave Ji Liang three free throws.

"Do you know who the biggest shooter in the league is right now? That's right, it's me, the whole league! The most dick! Got it? What's the difference between you and giving points! ”

It's not that Ji Liang boasts, in this season, his three-point shooting rate is the best in the league, shooting 55% from the field and 90% from the free throw line.

Such a perverted hit, boasting of being the worst shooter in the league, is not an exaggeration, at least Ryder is speechless.

唰~唰~唰~

Under Ryder's disappointed eyes, Ji Liang hit three free throws and scored three points again.

2:10

After only three minutes of play in the first quarter, Ji Liang scored 10 points, giving people the feeling that he was not injured.

"Walter, you and Isaiah switch guards!"

It was only then that Dunleavy finally stood up, and although Wolft Williams may not be able to defend himself, at least he still has the height and speed, which is better than Ryder.

On the other side, feeling that Chi Liang felt hot, his teammates tried to transfer the ball to Chi Liang's side.

In the face of Walter Williams' defense, Ji Liang began to switch to low-post singles, and with his fiery touch, Ji Liang lived up to the kindness of his teammates and continued to use turnaround jumpers to score.

24:35

Taking advantage of the hot feeling, Ji Liang played the first quarter and scored 22 points in the first quarter alone, and his coquettish left-handed shooting made countless Trail Blazers fans lose their voices.
