Chapter 51: Setting an NBA Record

In the Nuggets' service phase, the SuperSonics opted for full-court pressing, which is also one of the regular defensive methods in the NBA.

McDyce held the basketball and watched his players run and pull, and soon found an opportunity to pass the ball to Billups.

After Billups received the ball, Payton immediately pounced, and wanted to play a pressing defense to force Billups to make a mistake.

Without the idea of sticking to the ball, Billups passed the ball to Ji Liang in the waist position.

After receiving the ball with his back, feeling the power from behind, Chi Liang resolutely chose to hit his back, and squeezed hard, Williams instantly blushed, although he was 206 cm, but no matter the strength or weight, there was a certain gap with Chi Liang, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

At this time, Payton felt bad and immediately left Billups and turned around to pounce on Ji Liang.

"Be careful!"

Although Payton's movements were fast, Ji Liang, who was in a state of dynamic vision, reacted particularly quickly, and immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner at the moment when Payton made a steal.

Outside the corner three-point line, Billups was temporarily open, and by the time Payton pounced on Billups again, it was clearly too late.

With a slight adjustment, Billups jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish~

At the critical moment, Billups withstood the pressure and hit an open three-pointer, which also allowed the Nuggets to overtake the score with 12 seconds left in the clock.

It was also at this time that the supersonic opted for a pause and arranged the tactics of the last shot.

After the timeout, the Nuggets players began to watch their opposing players.

There are only 12 seconds left in the clock, and the supersonic still has a chance to attack one last time, retaining the possibility of a lore.

The Nuggets were in the lead, and naturally there was no idea of fouling, even if it was only one point ahead.

Soon, Pollinis passed the ball to Payton, who was the heart of the SuperSonics and the player most likely to execute the final shot.

Without an immediate offense, Payton pressed the clock and didn't give his opponent a chance to reverse.

Billups' center of gravity sank slightly, letting the sweat from his cheeks slide down, still staring at Payton without blinking.

Time passed slowly, and with eight seconds remaining, Payton finally kicked in, stepped out with his right foot, and began to change direction to the right.

Billups was focused, hurriedly used a sliding step to block the break, and kept a step away from Payton.

Payton's three-point shooting was terrible, only 30% of the shots, not to mention only one point short, so naturally the two-point shot was dominant, and the closer to the basket the better.

At this time, Payton pulled the basketball and chose to change direction sharply, he took a big step, and in an instant he was parallel to Billups, and he was about to burst into the restricted area.

After Payton completed the breakthrough, Ji Liang hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Payton's breakthrough route.

It was also at this time that Schramf, with the help of Polynes' cover, temporarily got rid of Williams and fell into the vacant position.

Without hesitation, Payton eventually opted for a pass and passed the ball to Schramf.

Almost at the moment of Payton's pass, Ji Liang reacted and immediately pounced on Schramf as fast as he could.

At this point, with four seconds left before the end of the game, it was almost impossible for Schramf to pass the ball.

After receiving Payton's pass, Schramf immediately jumped to his feet and stretched out to shoot the basketball.

Unfortunately, at the moment when he threw the basketball, a shadow suddenly hit next to him, and a big fan-like hand slapped from the side.

Syllable!

At the critical moment, Chi Liang made up the defense in place and completed the fatal block.

But the danger is not over, and until the end of the game, everything is still difficult to say, and who knows if there will be a zero-second-to-second lore!

The basketball fell to the ground, and the nearest Williams flew to the basketball.

At the same time, Payton quickly started and rushed towards that side as well.

In order to grab the basketball, Williams hugged it with both hands the moment he touched the basketball and pressed it directly with his body.

Boom!

Williams threw himself to the ground, showing a slightly painful expression, but still held on to the basketball tightly, and Payton wanted to pull the ball, but there was no way for a while.

Honk~

In the blink of an eye, the game-ending beep sounded, and after a hard game, the Nuggets managed to win the game.

Payton stopped his movements and sighed softly, he accepted the Player of the Week award before the game started, but the team ushered in a loss, which was simply a slap in the face, how could he have a good face.

In this game, McDyce was still stable, shooting 9-of-16 from the field, 4-of-7 from the free-throw line, and chipped in 22 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

As for Gary Payton, he played a total of 38 minutes, shooting 7-of-13, 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws, with a total of 21 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, and he was also the best player for the SuperSonics.

Unfortunately, the Nuggets had the last laugh.

On the big screen of the stadium, staying on Ji Liang's fatal cap, the supersonic commentator couldn't help shouting: "I can't believe it, he doesn't perform like a rookie rookie at all, I think he can lock up the best rookie of the season." Hey, his data ......"

While speaking, the supersonic commentator saw Chi Liang's data, and the whole person was obviously stunned, revealing a shocked expression.

In this game, the best performance was Ji Liang, who played a total of 29 minutes, shot 7 of 12, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and cut 21 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 6 steals and 5 blocks.

His 5×5 defensive stats make him the third player to contribute 5×5 stats in a single game after Hakim Olajuwon and David Robinson. In addition......"

When he said this, the commentator's face was very unpleasant, because the following words were very bad for supersound, and they simply nailed supersound to the pillar of shame.

It's a pity that even if he doesn't say it, it's useless.

After a soft sigh, the commentator continued: "On top of that, he also set an NBA record as the first player in league history to score a triple-double of +5×5!" Is this really a rookie at the end of the first round? No, this is the champion at all! Team scouts and managers, keep your eyes peeled and see what you're missing! ”

In terms of meaning, triple-double +5×5 is about the same as quadruple-double, and it doesn't sound like a quadruple-double, but its biggest significance is to set an NBA record, and the significance to Chi Liang is more than the debut of the century.

After listening to the commentator's analysis, the Key Arena was suddenly filled with earth-shattering boos, a regular season game is lost, and it is not a big deal, but Chi Liang set a new league record in the Key Arena, which can be said to have pushed supersonic to the pillar of shame, as long as someone mentions this great record in the future, supersonic will definitely be mentioned.

So when Chi Liang walked into the passage, many supersonic fans gathered on both sides of the passage, making countless boos and scolding, and some over-the-top fans were eager to beat Chi Liang, but fortunately they were stopped by the security personnel.
