Seeing Chi Liang's actions, Ma Long was angry and didn't fight anywhere, which was almost the same as the first game, and Chi Liang wanted to foul himself.

Since there is no way to avoid it, then simply count it ruthlessly, so Ma Long exerted all his strength and hit Chi Liang's arm.

Syllable~

With the sound of slapping, Chi Liang staggered back a step, and suddenly there was a slap mark on his arm.

Beep~

The referee's whistle blew, and under the referee's instructions, Ji Liang stood on the free throw line.

Hmmm~mph~

Even if his right hand was affected, Chi Liang used his left hand to make free throws, and he still hit two free throws and two hits, and it was not affected much.

Beep~

At this time, the Jazz chose a timeout, and Malone got his third foul and could only be forced to go off.

Malone was plagued by fouls, which had a great impact on the Jazz team, because Malone was the core of the Jazz team, and without Malone, it was difficult for the Jazz to open their offense.

In addition, with three fouls on his back, even if Malone can still play, he must pay attention to the number of fouls he has to pay, otherwise if he is fouled again, the problem will be serious.

Sloan was troubled, and while the Jazz still had a power forward, they were undoubtedly dwarfed by Malone.

The most speechless thing is that Ma Long, known as the 'postman', can play full attendance almost every season, and has more playing time per game, and the strength of the substitute power forward can be imagined.

Sloan first looked at Greg Foster, a second-round pick in 1990 who roamed many teams and averaged extremely miserable numbers per game, which shows his strength.

"Thor, you're on!"

After a moment's hesitation, Sloan finally chose the veteran Thor Bailey, who was an All-Star inside at his peak, but now that he is in his twilight years, he doesn't know how much strength he can play.

It's a pity that not long after Thorl Bailey came on the court, Sloan had to replace him again, Bailey still has strength, but he has old arms and legs, and he can't outrun the Nuggets players at all. In just two minutes, it was beaten into two fast breaks by the Nuggets.

Despite this, the Jazz still couldn't stop it, and the Nuggets at this time were magnificent, attacking again and again, completely suppressing the Jazz.

On the other hand, the Jazz have a tougher offense, without Malone's strong offense and attraction defense, the Jazz's offense has weakened a lot, and they rely more and more on perimeter projection.

In the ninth minute, the two sides sent a replacement lineup, and this time Ji Liang did not play, but Van Exel led the substitute.

Compared to the Nuggets, the Jazz's bench was weaker and was beaten by the Nuggets.

19:33

By the end of the first quarter, the gap between the two sides had widened to 14 points, and D'Antoni said he was satisfied that as long as the team maintained, it was likely to win back-to-back games.

"Pick up the tempo, we have to win this game!"

D'Antoni didn't adjust his tactics, so he was a little encouraged and allowed the players to recover.

After the start of the second quarter, the two sides re-sent the starting lineup, and taking advantage of the good situation, Ji Liang continued to play to try to extend the advantage.

According to the jump ball rule, the Jazz have the ball in possession of the first ball.

Stockton came to the front court with the ball, and immediately exchanged Malone blocks, this time it was different from before, without waiting for Fortson to change defenses, Stockton took a step to the side and immediately jumped and shot.

Swish~

Stockton doesn't shoot much, but whenever the timing comes, he takes his chances, which is why his shooting percentage is consistently high.

On the Nuggets' offense, Ji Liang first passed the ball to McDyce, then quickened his pace to get rid of Stockton, and took over the basketball when he passed past McDyce.

At this moment, McDeyes took a diagonal step and blocked the pursuing Stockton.

Without giving them a chance, Ji Liang immediately stood up, his movements were free, and he easily sent the ball into the basket.

"It's a pity!"

After landing, Chi Liang glanced at Ma Long, originally he wanted to make a foul, but this thing reacted sharply and immediately stopped moving.

Unlike the first quarter, Stockton significantly increased his individual shooting, and his efficiency was not bad, and he was stunned to hit consecutive baskets. Coupled with Malone's strong offense and Hornacek's cold arrows, the Jazz's efficiency has increased greatly.

However, in terms of efficiency, the Nuggets are not inferior, and Ji Liang has made Stockton into a sieve, and as long as he attracts the defense, he can always pass the ball to open players.

This trend continued until the official pause.

The two sides sent a bench lineup again, Ji Liang continued to play, and under his organization, the Nuggets began to have an all-round advantage.

Beep~

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Sloan immediately applied for a timeout.

It's just that when the timeout ends, the Nuggets' efficiency still hasn't dropped and they continue to widen the point difference.

Under the organization of Chi Liang, the Nuggets benches worked together, Stich shot 3 of 4, Alexander shot 3 of 3, and Herrera got 6 points and 4 rebounds.

In order to curb the Nuggets' offense, Malone had to play again and start supporting the Jazz's offense.

Even so, it still couldn't curb the Nuggets' offense, but was repeatedly succeeded by the Nuggets' fast attack.

The Nuggets are in full swing, they're completely crazy, they're fast-paced, they don't take ten seconds off every offense, and they're still on a hot spot.

Not only that, but with Stockton not on the court, the Jazz became more tempo and began to be led by the Nuggets.

No matter how Sloan dispatched, he was powerless to stop the Nuggets' offense. With his experience, the source of his natural feelings is natural, but there is no way to target it.

46:66

By the end of the first half, the point difference continued to widen, and it was undoubtedly difficult for the Jazz to overtake.

After halftime, the Jazz stepped up their defensive aggression and moved significantly bigger, leading the referee to blow the whistle constantly.

In addition, on the offensive end, Malone began to break out, taking advantage of his height advantage and repeatedly beating Fortson to succeed.

In just five minutes, Malone beat Ford again and again, and coupled with the Nuggets' poor hand, he led the Jazz to a wave of 13-4 shockwaves, and it looked like they were about to narrow the difference to single digits.

At the critical moment, the Nuggets began to exert their strength.

Ji Liang increased his breakthrough strength, broke through Stockton again and again, and forced his way into the penalty area when he didn't feel good.

On the other side, McDyce was full of firepower, and even if Ostertag tried his best to defend, it was difficult to restrain him and stop the decline.

That continued into the fourth quarter, when the Nuggets made another comeback, scoring on the offensive end and quickly extending their lead to 20 points.

After the Jazz replaced the bench, the Nuggets also tacitly replaced the starting lineup and began to save for the next game.

In this game, Ji Liang performed well, playing a total of 31 minutes, scoring 18 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, which was also his first triple-double in the playoffs.
