Organized by the referee, O'Neill and Lafrenz stood in the center of the court, ready to jump the ball.

Lafrenz was in a bad mood, feeling the malice of the world, and it had only been long since he returned from injury, only to meet O'Neill again.

Big guy, I can't afford to mess with it!

No surprise, when the referee threw the basketball into the sky, O'Neal took the lead in slapping the basketball at Harper with an extra palm.

Just as Harper was about to catch the ball, Chi Liang appeared beside him, and with a hard squeeze, Harper felt a strong surge coming, and his steps were unsteady.

By the time Harper gained a firm foothold, Ji Liang had already grabbed the basketball and quickly held the ball to advance to the front court.

Kobe Bryant's reaction was very fast, and after Chi Liang grabbed the basketball, he hurriedly rushed towards Ji Liang, wanting to slow down Chi Liang's pace and give his teammates time to return to defense.

There was no heads-up Kobe, Chi Liang held the basketball high with both hands and hung the basketball forward.

When Kobe Bryant turned around, he saw Billups receive the basketball and scored on a three-step layup.

The Lakers' possession, Harper settled down, and after receiving the basketball that came, he advanced with the ball.

After half time, looking at Chi Liang in front of him, Harper began to try to break through, constantly changing the rhythm, but was easily blocked by Chi Liang, and was almost squeezed out of position.

Harper wanted to shoot, but was stuck by Ji Liang again, and there was no room to shoot at all, and he couldn't even see the basket.

In this case, Harper opted for a pass and wanted to hoist the ball to O'Neal.

Syllable~

Harper's action was too obvious, and when the basketball flew out, Chi Liang immediately jumped up, and pointed under the basketball with two fingers in the middle of the food, changing the flight trajectory of the basketball.

After the basketball landed, Fortson was the closest, grabbed the basketball first, and then handed the basketball to Ji Liang.

The Lakers' defense is very fast, don't look at O'Neal's huge body, but the speed of O'Neal is not slow, and he is quite flexible.

Seeing that there was no chance to break quickly, Ji Liang slowed down his pace and began to advance into the half court with the ball.

Harper opened his hands and waited for him, his eyes solemn, staring at Ji Liang, who had been in the limelight recently.

Although Ji Liang's center of gravity is high, his ball sense is excellent, and his ball control is naturally not bad, but extremely solid, and the frequency of dribbling is getting faster and faster, changing his position at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye.

Suddenly, Ji Liang leaned forward, took a step with his right foot, and made a sign of breaking through to the right.

Harper's heart tightened, and he hurriedly moved his steps, wanting to block the direction of Ji Liang's breakthrough.

At the same time, Ji Liang pulled the basketball, quickly took a step back with his right foot, and jumped up vigorously.

Harper felt bad and jumped up as well, trying to interfere with Ji Liang's shot.

It's a pity that there is a significant gap between the height and arm span of the two, coupled with the hasty jump, Harper is desperate to find that he can't limit Chi Liang.

After rising to the highest point, Ji Liang stretched his posture and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish~

The basketball hollowed into the net and added three points to the Nuggets.

"It's not easy to do!"

Looking at the back of Ji Liang's defense, Harper couldn't help but shake his head, there was too much difference in height and arm span, but the opponent's ball control was not bad, and the possibility of restriction was very small.

After switching offense and defense, Harper held the ball through the half, and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant without waiting for Ji Liang to step forward.

In the face of Billups, Kobe Bryant chose to change direction to break through, even though Billups tried his best to defend, but in the blink of an eye, he was still successfully broken through by Kobe, and at the front of the penalty area, he jumped and shot.

Bang dang~

Kobe Bryant didn't feel good, the basketball smashed on the basket, McDyce tried his best to protect the defensive rebound, and instead passed the basketball to Ji Liang.

Chi Liang advanced with the ball, and in order to defend Chi Liang's shot, the distance between Harper and Chi Liang was significantly closer, only half a step away.

Chi Liang controlled the ball with his right hand, raised his left hand lightly, dribbled sideways, and just when Harper was waiting for an opportunity to steal, Chi Liang broke through with the ball in his right hand and forcibly wiped it towards Harper's left side.

Harper wanted to block it, but the moment the two came into contact, he felt a strong surge and couldn't help but take a step back.

The difference in strength between the two is too big, and Chi Liang completely uses his physical advantage to bully Harper in a big and small way.

By the time Harper stabilized his body, Ji Liang had already completed the breakthrough and began to attack the penalty area.

O'Neill was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help defend Chi Liang.

Without waiting for O'Neal to come closer, Ji Liang stopped and threw the basketball to the basket.

Bang dang~

It was also at this time that Lafrentz jumped up and pressed the basketball into the basket.

7:0！

In less than two minutes of the opening period, the Nuggets took the lead and took the lead in the confrontation.

Seeing that the team had the advantage, Nuggets fans were high-spirited and frantically cheering for the Nuggets.

Coach Harris felt bad and immediately chose to take a timeout, and he did not make substitutions, mainly because Fisher was shorter and had a greater disadvantage than Harper.

It was difficult for Harper to restrain Ji Liang, Harris knew very well in his heart, but he had no effective way to continue to use Harper, but he increased the strength of the defense.

Harris is a head coach known for his defense, and although his tactics have been implemented, he has not limited Ji Liang's point guard after all, and it has not had much effect on Ji Liang.

Seeing that Chi Liangyu took what he wanted, Harris sighed, the Nuggets vetoed the Lakers' trade plan, even if they put Eddie Jones on the 'shelf', the other party did not agree.

After being rejected by the Nuggets, Harris did not give up and wanted to exchange Kobe Bryant for Chi Liang, but was stopped by Jerry West and finally failed.

When the team was in trouble, Harris couldn't think of a way to limit Ji Liang and could only seek changes in attack.

At the end of the timeout, this time, Harper passed the ball to O'Neal, who was about to be in place.

No accident, O'Neal easily knocked into La Frenz, and the basketball wiped the board into the basket!

After O'Neal scored, the score became 7:2!

Lafrenz spread his hands, his face full of helplessness, with his current figure, he could not restrain O'Neal either.

Coming to the opponent's half, Ji Liang squeezed Harper away again, broke through the ball, and distributed the ball to McDyce.

McDyce was in the open space, and before Red could get back to defense, he jumped up and hooked the basketball into the basket.

In the next few rounds, the success rate of both sides remained high, and Chi Liang took on the burden of organization, mainly focusing on breaking through the ball, occasionally releasing cold arrows, and leading the Nuggets to set sail.

The Lakers are not far behind, although Kobe Bryant has a tendency to become a blacksmith, but O'Neal's advantage is too great, and he knocks into Lafrenz again and again and scores easily.

After most of the game, the Nuggets' lead did not widen, nor did it shrink.

During the official timeout, the Nuggets replaced the main players, and Ji Liang continued to lead the bench.

On the other side, the Lakers kept Kobe Bryant, hoping that Kobe would give a little bit of strength and narrow the gap as soon as possible.
