The team doctor of the Nuggets, who examined Chi Liang very carefully, began to press on his back after Ji Liang took off his jersey, especially near his spine.

Ji Liang sat on the chair, tried to relax his body, and under the instructions of the team doctor, he expressed his feelings.

Faced with a myriad of injuries, team doctors need to make timely diagnoses to determine whether players can continue to play or undergo surgery.

In order to prevent misdiagnosis, the process is more complicated, Chi Liang's situation this time, it seems that there are no scars on the surface, but it does not mean that the bones or internal organs are not damaged, and the team doctor does not dare to take it lightly, and would rather spend more time than harm the players.

During the team doctor's examination, D'Antoni began to arrange the tactics for the second half, because Ji Liang still had to undergo an examination, he could not play for the time being, and Van Exel's ejection from the game, the situation was not in favor of the Nuggets.

D'Antoni had no choice but to settle for the second best thing, with Billups in the No. 1 spot, with McDyce, Fortson, Stich and Williams at the same time.

Judging from the lineup, even if it is not as good as supersound, it must not be much inferior.

In addition, unlike in the first half, D'Antoni changed his tactics from running and bombing to positional battles, and he had no choice, due to back-to-back relationships, the players were not physically fit. If you continue to use the run-and-bomb tactics, I am afraid that the game is not over yet, and the players themselves will be tired and lie down first.

By the end of the break, only Chi Liang, the team doctor and Van Exel were left in the dressing room.

"Nick, I haven't thanked you for your help!"

During the inspection, Ji Liang thanked Van Axel. No matter how you look at it, Van Exel is here to help.

Van Exel's face was calm, completely free of his previous madness, and he waved his hand casually and said, "You're welcome! By the way, I saw you kick him twice, although your actions are hidden, but McClan is likely to report to the League, and it is possible to use the video to impose additional penalties on you! ”

"Let's see your luck!"

With today's technology, although there is video in the stadium, it is not as clear as in later generations, not to mention that the scene was chaotic just now, and it may not be possible to detect Chi Liang's small movements.

Taking a step back, even if he is recorded, but Chi Liang is the injured party in the end, and the alliance may not give him too heavy a punishment.

Instead, it was Van Exel, who rushed from off the field to the field and punched McLalen with another punch, almost causing a large-scale clash that would require at least a few additional bans, or even more.

While they were chatting, the second half of the game had already begun, and the Nuggets were playing McDace, if it was the former Vin Baker, maybe it could be restricted, but the current Vin Baker could no longer keep up with McDyes's pace and was easily beaten by McDyes.

The supersonic speed was helpless and could only be forced to assist in defense or trapping.

So, it was McDyce who drew the defense and distributed the ball to the outside, and Billups, Stich and Williams were constantly pulling the supersonic formation while running out of the open to shoot.

D'Antoni stood aside, his eyes were fixed on the field, he didn't expect to be able to pull away the score, he just hoped that after Chi Liang returned, the team could still have suspense and not be overtaken too much.

Unlike the Nuggets' style of play, the SuperSonics blossomed more under Payton's organization, and the most active was Schramf, Williams was heavy on offense and light on defense, even if he tried his best, he was powerless to prevent Schramf from scoring.

Schramf is proficient in the running position and can easily shake off Williams and open up some shooting space.

"You can't let Schramf go on any longer, Fortson, you defend Schramf; Clark, you replace Williams as the center! ”

The only advantage is overtaken by supersonic speed in the blink of an eye. In just two minutes, D'Antoni was forced to apply for a timeout, and Schramf must be contained, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the Nuggets if it continues.

After Clark came on the court, the Nuggets were no longer at a disadvantage in terms of overall height, nor were they at a disadvantage in rebounding, and began to get tangled with the SuperSonics.

Schramf is constantly on the move, and although he is over 36, he is still full of fitness, but unlike Williams, Fortson is a blue-collar player known for his defense and rebounding, and it is easy to keep Schramf out of the open position.

Under Fortson's follow-up, Schramf felt very uncomfortable and finally ran out of space, but before he could shoot, Fortson appeared in front of him again, and his shooting percentage was naturally affected.

While it can't completely limit Schramf, it's significantly better than before, and the combination of Clark, McDyes, and Fortson does a great job of protecting the rebound, and occasionally grabs offensive rebounds.

For a while, the scores of the two sides continued to stagger and temporarily played a draw.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after a few minutes, the two sides sent a substitute lineup for the main team to rest temporarily.

Due to Ji Liang's absence, the Nuggets' bench lineup is like missing a backbone, and the threat has dropped by at least one or two notches.

This time, the bench was led by Stich and Williams, but Stich's ability to score on his own initiative was limited, and Williams did not return to his peak, which led to a sharp turn for the worse, and the SuperSonics clearly had the advantage.

If Ji Liang is there, he will be able to connect the players and be able to play their strength at a super level. And Chi Liang also has excellent defensive ability, maybe not as good as Garnett, but the poor version of Garnett should always be there.

lost Chi Liang, the substitute lineup was like a mess of loose sand, and he didn't even score a point in the two minutes he played, and the situation can only be described as embarrassing.

D'Antoni had to call a timeout again, but unfortunately the offense still did not improve, and most of them were dominated by iron, which also led to their inability to chase points and were completely led by the nose by the supersonic.

88:76

This is the score after the third quarter, the original score was still in the stalemate stage, and when it came to the bench stage, the Nuggets bench was too weak, but the supersonic bench felt explosive, and the combination of Hawkins and Ellis began to show its power, teaming up to score 14 points, and Shengsheng widened the point difference to double digits.

It was also at this time that Ji Liang and the team doctor left the locker room and came to the Nuggets' bench.

"How's it going?"

After seeing Chi Liang, D'Antoni was a little more concerned. If Ji Liang can continue to play, the Nuggets still have a chance to win.

There is no way, back-to-back games, coupled with a shortened season, limited physical reserves, most of the main players are starting to gasp, and no one knows how much more strength they can play.

In addition to D'Antoni, the rest of his teammates also stared at Ji Liang, especially the substitutes.

"No injuries, we can continue to play!"

After receiving a satisfactory answer, D'Antoni finally smiled and began to lay out the tactics for the players.
