You disgust me, I disgust you, everyone disgusts each other, each other!

This is Chi Liang's thoughts, he is not a wreck, he was scolded by Garnett, and he had to find a chance to get it back.

After switching offense and defense, Garnett learned smartly this time, he didn't go head-to-head with Ji Liang, but with the help of Dean Garnett's cover, he quickly found an opportunity.

In the face of McDyce, who switched defenses, Garnett turned over and hit a jumper to score two points again.

After successfully scoring, Garnett beat his chest and roared, and said to Chi Liang: "Rookie, your girlfriend tastes like a doughnut!"

"Sorry, I don't have a girlfriend!"

Ji Liang spread his hands and breathed lightly, feeling extremely unhappy about Garnett's 'bad taste'.

They are also trash talk masters, but Garnett especially likes to 'bring trouble to his family' and 'joke' about the other party's family at every turn.

The Nuggets' offense, under Garnett's strict defense, Ji Liang began to stay away from the restricted area and soon received the basketball.

In the dynamic field of vision, the things that greeted Chi Liang's eyelids were noticeably slower, and everyone in his field of vision was in slow motion, which also allowed him to easily detect fleeting fighters.

Syllable~

This time, Ji Liang did not play alone, but simply hit the ground and passed, and the basketball fell to the floor and bounced, flying towards the edge of the penalty area.

Dean Garnett subconsciously wanted to clamp his crotch, but at this time, he only felt that his crotch was cold, and the basketball successfully broke through the 'goal', and the rebound fell into the hands of McDyce.

For Chi Liang's wonderful biography, McDyce has long been surprised, and naturally he did not let go of the opportunity. Take advantage of the lack of defense and slam the basketball into the hoop with all your might.

Ji Liang turned around and defended, his breathing was a little more rapid, the first quarter was too crazy, he had to save his physical energy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to last long.

If you want to save energy, you have to reduce the singles with the ball and focus on organizing the team's attack, which can allow him to hold on for more time.

In addition, basketball is a team sport after all, and too many singles with the ball often lead to the inability to implement one's own tactics, and teammates will not shoot for a long time, and the feeling will become more and more cold.

As a result, Chi Liang's strategy in the second quarter began to focus on organization, supplemented by singles, to maximize the advantages of the Nuggets.

Soon, Ji Liang received the basketball again, and while staring at Garnett, the corner of his eye was also observing the situation on the court.

This time, it's McDyce again, and Dean Garnett is slow on his feet and can't keep up with McDyce's pace at all.

In basketball, everyone will choose to attack the enemy's weaknesses with their own strengths to improve offensive efficiency.

With just one roundaround the bottom corner, McDyce had an empty spot, and that's when the role of the top playmaker was highlighted.

There is undoubtedly a big gap between ordinary players and top playmakers when it comes to timing, and the timing on the field is often fleeting, and the importance of the team is clear at a glance.

For the first time, Ji Liang flicked his right hand, and the basketball appeared in front of McDyce like a scalpel, accurately and quickly.

McDice comfortably caught the basketball, so the pass didn't need to be adjusted, and he shot the basketball in his hand before Dean Garnett could come up.

Swish~

On the Timberwolves bench, Sanders frowned deeply, and the still 'young' head coach did not make immediate adjustments, but fell into hesitation.

Compared with the first quarter, the Nuggets players' touch has recovered a lot, Ji Liang has created a lot of easy scoring opportunities for his teammates, and under his organization, the Nuggets offense has been in full swing and began to dominate the court.

In the latter process, Ji Liang threaded the needle, his passes tore through the opponent's defense again and again, and after Williams hit a shot, he quickly assisted Billups to soar into three points, quickly stretching the difference to double digits.

However, under Garnett's strict defense, Ji Liang's offensive efficiency has declined, but he still maintains a shooting rate of more than 50%.

Among the power forwards, Garnett has first-class lateral speed, sprint speed and explosiveness, but he also focuses more on defense, which naturally reduces Ji Liang's shooting percentage.

Even so, Ji Liang's hand feeling was still considerable, and he soon pushed his personal score to 30 points.

Compared with Garnett, who only scored 6 points, there is a clear gap between the two sides, which also causes Garnett's temper to grow bigger and bigger, sometimes roaring, sometimes beating his chest, trying to boost the morale of his teammates.

During the official timeout, the two sides tacitly sent a replacement lineup, but Garnett clearly did not give in and continued to stay on the field.

On the other side, Ji Liang also played, and he wanted to continue to scare Garnett until the opponent threw him.

The Timberwolves' possession of the ball, mainly in Garnett's hands, is also the main offensive point of the replacement lineup. But under Chi Liang's deliberate targeting, Garnett didn't feel good, and most of them ended up in iron.

On the other hand, the Nuggets, under Chi Liang's threading needle, their teammates blossomed in many ways and obviously suppressed the Timberwolves.

At the end of the first half, it was still the Nuggets who had the ball.

After receiving the basketball, Chi Liang began to break through with the ball, and at the moment when Garnett blocked, Chi Liang turned his back on the situation, took his left foot as the axis, and pulled the ball with his right hand to complete the turn, taking the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

Without waiting for the opposing player to help defend, Ji Liang casually threw the ball to the basket.

Bang dang~

The moment the basketball smashed into the basket, Clark jumped up in time and pressed the ball into the basket.

At the same time, Ji Liang's assist successfully doubled, and he was stunned to complete the feat of a triple-double at halftime. Under his leadership, the difference between the two sides has widened to 20 points.

Call! Call!

At the end of the first half, Ji Liang pinched his waist with both hands, panted violently, and a drop of hot sweat slipped off his body uncontrollably, completely penetrating the jersey.

Taking the towel handed by his teammates, Chi Liang wiped the sweat on his head casually, and began to gulp Gatorade, wanting to recover his physical fitness as soon as possible.

Even if he closed the play in the second quarter, Garnett wrapped it too tightly and still wasted a lot of physical strength.

In the home team's locker room, seeing Chi Liang's situation, D'Antoni couldn't help asking: "How is it, do you want to rest for a while?"

"Coach, I'm fine! If Garnett doesn't play, then I'll rest a little longer! ”

In order to convince hard people, Chi Liang is also desperate, he wants the other party to deeply review his mistakes.

You don't know me, so I'll convince you!

D'Antoni expressed his understanding, then picked up the tactics board on the side and began to explain the tactics for the second half.

At half-time, players from both sides returned to the pitch.

Maybe Garnett was also tired, he didn't continue to play, and Ji Liang was equally happy and relaxed, continuing to recover his physical strength.

Compared to the first half, the Timberwolves' defensive intensity has increased and they have begun to narrow the gap with the Nuggets.
