In the locker room at home, the Nuggets' main team watched D'Antoni lay out his tactics while sipping Gatorade to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Due to back-to-back reasons, even if they voluntarily lowered the tempo, the physical strength is difficult to compare to the Kings.

D'Antoni took the tactical board and began to write and draw on it, his strokes were concise and fluid, and he quickly drew a tactical layout so that the players could see the tactical line.

"In the second half, we had to cut off the Kings' passing, especially Divac, and I won't say much about how important he is to the Kings. As long as we can limit Divac, we are more than half of the victory. In addition, continue to reduce the pace of attack and defense, focusing on saving physical energy, do you understand? ”

In D'Antoni's tactical arrangement, the Nuggets' defense is almost always related to limiting Divac.

For Princeton's tactics, the playmaking center is extremely important, and if they want to beat the Kings, they must limit Divac's play.

"Got it!"

After getting the players' answers, D'Antoni nodded and did not continue to lay out the tactics and let the players hurry up to recover.

When the halftime was over, Ji Liang did not play for the time being, staying on the bench to rest.

On the other side, the Kings once again sent their starting lineup to continue to fight with the Nuggets.

Unlike in the first half, D'Antoni's tactical set-up worked, and Divac's organisation was no longer as relaxed as in the first half, and it was clearly limited to a certain extent.

As a result, the Kings' offense was no longer as fluid as it was in the first half, and the offensive efficiency dropped significantly.

On the other hand, the Nuggets, Van Exel and Billups began to break out, relying on their hot touches, and began to open the score with the Kings.

Finding that the team's offense could not be opened, Adelman hurriedly came to the sidelines and yelled at the players on the field: "Run, run for me!" Keep your distance and don't let them trap Divac! Jason, strengthen the bond with Divac! ”

Under Adelman's command, Divac was in much better shape, with a strong vision and a good pass.

Unfortunately, his teammates have experienced a slight dip in their hands, but they still haven't narrowed the difference, and they haven't continued to expand.

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, D'Antoni sent Ji Liang again, hoping to extend the score advantage.

As soon as Ji Liang came on the court, he assisted Billups to hit a mid-range shot.

The Nuggets are still hot, and their shooting percentage is very high, which also makes Ji Liang dispel the idea of scoring.

In fact, Chi Liang did this mainly to brush up on assists.

The reason is very simple, even if he has 20+ assists from time to time, he often has low assist counts and is not as good as Jason Kidd in terms of assist consistency.

So not long ago, he was overtaken by Kidd. In terms of assists per game, the gap between the two is very small, with Kidd reaching 10.9 assists while Ji Liang has 10.8 assists.

As long as Ji Liang gets 20+ assists in this game, his average assists per game can surpass Kidd, and his average can reach 11 per game!

Of course, this is not a risk, and he will have to swipe assists in the last two games to be able to beat Kidd and win the honor of assist king.

However, even if Ji Liang has excellent vision, passing awareness and accurate passing skills, assists are not just scoring, not only need a certain amount of ball possession, but also are closely related to the feel of teammates.

If your teammates feel cold, no matter how good you are, it won't be useful, and you won't get many assists for the whole game.

Now, while your teammates are feeling hot, you naturally have to brush up on a few more assists, otherwise it will be too wasteful.

After Ji Liang came on the court, the strength of the Nuggets team has increased, and the team's offense has become more orderly.

Ji Liang's presence not only brought contribution, but also brought more confidence to his teammates, with Billups hitting back-to-back shots and Van Exel also hitting three-pointers from beyond the three-point line.

The most speechless thing is that Fortson began to explode, grabbing offensive rebounds in a row, and forcing the second offense to complete.

For a while, the Nuggets played in full bloom, and the offense was extremely smooth, which made the fans on the scene addicted.

In this process, Ji Liang's scoring data still did not break through, but the assists kept rising.

98:87

Soon, the third quarter ended, and the score was also high due to the high efficiency of both teams.

It's just that compared with the Nuggets, the Kings team in Chris Webber's absence is a little worse after all, and the two sides have opened up a double-digit point difference.

I have to say that Ji Liang has already got 20 assists and 13 rebounds.

At this time, no one thought what kind of data Ji Liang would achieve in this game, because his data has always been amazing.

For Chi Liang, it is not difficult to get 20 assists in a game, at least there have been four times this season, and no one will be surprised anymore, at most: "This guy is so good, he got another 20 assists!" ”

After the start of the fourth quarter, Ji Liang continued to play, and unlike the Kings, due to back-to-back, the Nuggets sent a replacement lineup for the main team to rest for a few minutes.

According to the jump ball rule, the Kings were in control of the ball in the opening court.

After all, it was just a replacement lineup, the strength of the players was much worse, and the defense was more porous, and the Kings easily tore apart the defense, and Collis Williams scored on a layup.

However, after the switch between offense and defense, Ji Liang and John Taylor staged an aerial relay to increase the number of assists again.

In the next round, Ji Liang broke through Collis Williams and, after attracting the bag, passed the ball to an open Stich with an unseen pass, who scored from the middle shot.

It was only at this time that the Nuggets' stats staff noticed Ji Liang's data, and he seemed to have thought of something and was immediately surprised.

Undoubtedly, 22 assists and 13 rebounds, which is undoubtedly a strange statistic without scoring.

Of course, the staff was so surprised, and it had nothing to do with the strange statistics, he was thinking about the number of assists.

In the NBA, the record for assists per game is recorded by Scott. Strary Remains, December 30, 1990, during the match between Orlando and Denver, Scott. Strari had 30 assists.

In addition, there are the number of assists per game by rookie, and on January 1, 1974, Ernie Anderson. Digrell registered 25 assists.

There is still nearly one quarter of game time, with Ji Liang's title of the king of the fourth quarter, how can he get three assists, there is a great hope of breaking the rookie single-game assist record, and there is even a chance to challenge Scott. Strary's 30 assists.

At this time, the staff stood up and hurriedly told D'Antoni about it.

If you want to break the record, Ji Liang's playing time is very important. With D'Antoni's emphasis on Chi Liang, he will definitely be able to give enough playing time.

The biggest concern now is what happens if the Kings abandon the game if the score is pulled apart by a large margin.
