Chapter 121: 20 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, D'Antoni got up and came to the sidelines and shouted to the players on the field: "Give the ball to Ji Liang and let him play!"
At D'Antoni's motion, Ji Liang finally stepped up and began to ask for the ball in the low post on the left side.
On the offensive end, the Nuggets are at a loss, except for Chi Liang, the other players feel cold and don't want to attack anymore, and now Chi Liang is willing to accept the hot potato, they naturally can't ask for it.
Ji Liang pouted his ass and received the basketball in the low post, he shook his shoulders violently, his body flickered left and right, and waited until Garnett's center of gravity shifted and completed the turn.
In an instant, Ji Liang stepped out violently, opened up the shooting space, his hand was hot, and he made a close shot.
In the following time, Ji Liang continued to play Garnett in the low post, and repeatedly won it, improving his personal score while leading the team to climb steadily.
So, from the 4th minute to the 10th minute of the first quarter, the commentator had an adrenal rush and described Ji Liang's offense in a passionate voice.
"Ji Liang received the ball in the low post, turned over and made a jumper, and the ball went in!"
"Ji Liang turned around and broke through Garnett, made a successful layup, and caused Garnett to foul, scored a free throw, and successfully completed 2+1!"
"It's our Denver Light again, breaking through from the right side with the ball, he shook off two Timberwolves players, hooked up, what a fluid break!"
"There was chaos under the basket, Ji Liang grabbed the offensive rebound, he caused Dean Garnett to foul defensively, hit two free throws, and scored two points again!"
"Van Exel completed the steal, the Nuggets advanced quickly, Ji Liang received the basketball, drove straight from the middle, and made a layup!"
"Oh my god, at a distance of 23 feet, Ji Liang made the first three-point shot, and the ball went in again!"
"Crazy~ He's completely crazy, but I'm sure everyone present likes it!"
……
In just six minutes, Ji Liang became a goal machine for the Nuggets, and his scoring was extremely efficient, almost every time he received the ball, he could convert it into a score.
With Chi Liang's main attack, the other Nuggets players are very relaxed, all they need to do is to lead away the opposing players, and then hand the ball to Chi Liang, watching Chi Liang use one goal after another to quickly narrow the gap between the backward points, and finally complete the overtake.
Ji Liang's hand is hot and hot, and his state can be described as bursting, and he also has a good sense of rebounding, and before the first quarter ended, he slashed 20 points and 7 rebounds, including 3 frontcourt rebounds.
In addition, under Chi Liang's special targeting, Garnett had no feeling at all, and he was stunned that he only made 2 of 7 shots and only got 4 points and 1 rebound.
Ji Liang didn't want Garnett to score, and he was also trying his best to limit his rebounds, preferring to be grabbed by Garnett's teammates and trying to destroy Garnett's chances of grabbing rebounds.
Soon, Garnett fouled again, and Timberwolves head coach Philip Saunders had to replace him.
After Garnett went off, the Nuggets also replaced Ji Liang, no doubt to target Garnett.
"Bastard!"
On the end of the game, Garnett kicked the stool hard to vent his inner anger.
Hard, tough, domineering, fearless...... Garnett wanted to put these labels on himself. But in the eyes of many players, they thought Garnett was just a bluff, and even voted the head of the 'fake tough guy'.
Garnett's height, arm span and good jumping can basically ** anyone in the league, and what is even more desperate is that he also prefers to lean back, and there is no other way than to pray that the basketball will not score!
It is also for this reason that some fans have given Garnett the nickname of 'iron-blooded shot', one is to praise the wolf king for his inexplicable shot, and there is also a sense of irony, thinking that Garnett's ball style is soft, and he is in the position of a big forward, but he chooses more jumpers to end the offense!
Soon, the first session was over!
31:24
Under the efficient play of Chi Liang, the Nuggets not only overtook the score, but also won the opponent by as many as 7 points.
Before the start of the second quarter, Philip Sanders said to Garnett: "Kevin, you didn't have a good hand today, so I want you to focus more on defense and don't give him another chance to score easily!"
Garnett didn't speak, just nodded silently, and was slashed by the other party for 20 points, which made him feel very shameless.
The current Garnett has not been selected to the All-Defensive Team, but no one dares to take his defense lightly. He has an extremely flexible pace and extremely long arms, and even if he can't block the opponent, he can still interfere with the opponent's shot. Due to his active defense, strong mobility and rotation awareness, he often fills up to the outside and even directly targets opposing defenders.
Garnett's biggest flaw is that he is slightly inferior in physical confrontation, which causes his blocks to not be very good.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Ji Liang continued to go toe-to-toe with Garnett. His teammates were also happy to see it, and once again delivered the cannonballs to Chi Liang.
"Trash, come up and wait for death!"
When Ji Liang received the ball, Garnett began to chatter, and at the same time, his movements were bigger than in the first quarter, constantly harassing Ji Liang.
In the NBA, Garnett is undoubtedly known for his trash talk, he is an out-and-out master of trash talk, and he is noisy and heart-wrenching.
Throughout the game, Garnett will be chattering in your ear, pushing and shoving with you, making you involuntarily angry. To stand with him, in addition to enduring his long arms, you must also endure his all-pervasive temptation, provocation and humiliation.
Without paying attention to Garnett's thoughts, Ji Liang treated him like a fly and began to make a triple threat gesture.
Garnett's face was solemn, his hands were wide open, and he stared at Chi Liang deadly, not daring to relax at all.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Chi Liang's right hand moved, and Garnett thought that the other party was going to break through to the right, and his body subconsciously leaned to the left.
Unfortunately, in the dynamic field of view, Garnett's movements were significantly slowed. It was Garnett who just made a move, and Ji Liang used his crotch to dribble, handed the ball to his left hand, and broke through to the other side with the ball.
Garnett tried his best to block it, but his body was still on the left, but his mind was trying to block to the right. Although his physical fitness is amazing, in this abnormal state, he couldn't control his body and was successfully shaken to the ground by Chi Liang.
After breaking through Garnett, Ji Liang rushed straight towards the penalty area, and Dean Garnett hurriedly stepped forward to help defend.
Under the high-speed sprint, Chi Liang changed direction with the ball to break through, using faster speed to break through the slow-paced Dean Garnett in one step, with the help of strong acceleration, Chi Liang jumped up with all his strength and poured the ball into the basket hard.
Bang dang~
Before turning back to defense, Ji Liang began to repeat in Garnett's ear: "22 to 4!" 22 to 4! 22 to 4! ”
