Chapter 249: Nine Minutes and 21 Minutes

When Ji Liang returned to defense, TNT commentator Kenny Smith began to comment: "Beautiful! Very accurate three-point shots, Chi Liang's three-point shots can be compared to Reggie! ”

The Reggie in Smith's mouth is Miller, and he is also the representative of the three-point shot in this era.

Maeve Albert on the side agreed and said: "Last season, his three-point shooting ranked first in the league, and his shooting percentage was higher than Reggie's, if it continues, surpassing Reggie is not a dream!" ”

Supersonic offense, Payton used Vin Baker's block to break through to the latter, and in the face of Billups' defense, Vin Baker easily pulled up and poured the ball into the basket hard.

After re-serving, Billups dribbled the ball through the half, at this time, Chi Liang ran with Wen Baker again, first to the left corner, and then to the other side, Wen Baker didn't have time to brake, and when he reacted, Ji Liang ran out of the empty space again.

Billups' task is very simple, that is, to pass the ball to Chi Liang, who catches the ball and makes a jumper, Chi Liang shoots extremely fast, and before the opponent's defense is in place, the basketball crosses a beautiful arc and hollows into the net!

7 to 4, and all the points are covered by Ji Liang, as long as his form comes up, his shooting will be accurate and terrifying.

On top of that, Vin Baker was too sluggish to keep up with him.

At this time, Coach Westphale couldn't sit still, and immediately stood on the edge of the court and shouted at Grant: "Hores, it's up to you to defend him in a while!"

Grant didn't speak, but nodded solemnly, he won four NBA championships in his NBA career, although he is a little older, but he is experienced defensively and willing to defend, unlike Vin Baker.

But Grant's disadvantage is also obvious, that is, although he is 208 cm, he is a slender inner liner, weighing only 98 cm.

In fact, Coach Westphale was also very helpless, and he made such an arrangement, which was also the idea of fighting a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The offense of the SuperSonics, Payton played a block again, this time covered by Grant for Payton, and after forcing Cage to change defenses, Payton easily broke through the opening in a small way and threw the ball into the basket, 7-6.

This kind of misalignment is also the intention of the pick-and-roll, and it is also the most used tactic in the NBA, creating misplaced scores.

After the switch between offense and defense, this time Chi Liang took the initiative to block and dismantle for Billups, and after Grant was forced to change defenses, Billups distributed the ball in time to Chi Liang, who ran to the right side at 45°.

Facing Payton, who was obviously a head shorter, Ji Liang shot straight and easily shot Payton to score.

Ji Liang was furious at the beginning, and in this game, his state was really great, just like Iverson's words: The sea is like a basket, how to shoot.

Seeing that Chi Liang scored nine points in a row, Peyton finally frowned, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, he and Chi Liang had no enmity, but why did Chi Liang explode every time he touched them.

It doesn't make sense!

Kenny Smith commented excitedly: "Ji Liang hit four goals in a row, and all 9 points of the Nets came from him, his condition is really good, I think it will be a scoring feast!" ”

Albert on the side agreed: "Quite possibly! Ji Liang is too versatile, both inside and outside, there are few players like this in the entire NBA. Unless the SuperSonics have a way to limit him, there is a good chance that he will score a high score! ”

While the two commentators were talking, the SuperSonics' offense finally made a mistake, Payton broke through with the ball, and when the ball was divided, Ji Liang, who was judged to be successful, completed the steal.

Kidders grabbed the basketball and immediately rushed to the front court with the ball, but Payton stepped back quickly, and under Peyton's pressure, Kidders passed the ball to Billups, who took a shot.

Boom~

Unfortunately, Billups didn't feel good, and the basketball came out of the basket, and just when Payton wanted to grab the rebound, he saw a figure rushing towards him, grabbing the rebound and throwing the basketball lightly, and quickly fell into the net.

It was none other than Chi Liang, who had scored 11 points in less than three minutes.

Similar to before, the SuperSonics continued to play blocking, Payton cut the ball and attacked strongly, but missed the pull-up jump shot and was protected by Ji Liang for a defensive rebound.

Passed the ball to Billups casually, and the latter quickly advanced, facing Payton's defense, Billups was very self-aware, did not entangle with Payton, and passed the ball to Ji Liang, who fell in the low post with his back to ask for the ball.

Chi Liang leaned his back against Grant, and when he caught the ball, Grant snorted, only to feel a strong force, and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Without hesitation, Ji Liang moved forward with the ball and wanted to score a layup.

Knowing that he couldn't stop Chi Liang from scoring, Grant still chose to foul and immediately hugged Chi Liang, and then saw Chi Liang throw the ball to the basket with one hand, and the basketball hit the board into the frame.

Honk~

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Swish~

Ji Liang hit the free throw steadily and scored his 14th point.

Rushing~

Nets fans shouted wildly, in the eyes of most fans, what they like to watch the most is the stars scoring crazy, as long as Chi Liang scores high points, even if they lose the game, their mood must not be bad.

Honk~

Supersonic coach Westphal couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to apply for a timeout, he first gave the players a strategy, and then couldn't help but glance at Rashad Lewis, and shook his head casually, they are also rookies in the class of 1998, why is the gap so big.

Lewis also wondered if he was a second-round pick and was still trying to get a chance to play.

Well, Lewis has been lacking opportunities, playing time is very irregular, and he only averaged 2.4 points per game last season.

Soon, Westphale made a choice, he replaced Grant with Greg Foster, Foster is 211 cm tall and weighs 109 kg, not afraid of confrontation, but he is a little slower, but he is more flexible than Vin Baker, and seems to be better than Vin Baker and Grant.

Smith's heart became more and more expectant, and even his voice changed: "It's too strong!" scored 14 points in a row and hit them all, to be honest, Ji Liang is too difficult to guard, and if I were the coach of the SuperSonics, I would have a headache! ”

Albert nodded silently in agreement: "I feel like he's improved a lot compared to last season!" ”

When the two commentators sighed, in order to avoid too fast physical exertion, and also to prevent his teammates from feeling cold, Chi Liang reduced the number of shots.

Time passed slowly, and soon came to the official timeout, and by the time Ji Liang was off the court, he had already scored 21 points.
