In the first quarter, Chi Liang perfectly completed the tasks assigned by D'Antoni, which not only restricted Stockton's performance, but also dominated both offense and defense.

32:17

Soon, the first quarter ended, and under Chi Liang's leadership, the Nuggets quietly led the Jazz by 15 points.

Under the defense of the Nuggets, the Jazz played extremely difficult, especially Malone, who not only had to pass Fordson's level, but also was often harassed by McDyce.

Under the target of the Nuggets, Malone scored 1 of 4 in the first quarter and scored 4 points with free throws.

However, Chi Liang has made the most contribution to the Nuggets being able to lead so many points.

Under his defense, Stockton was greatly restricted and only scored 1 point in the first quarter.

The most important thing is that under Chi Liang's close defense, Stockton found it difficult to organize the team's offense, and his best organizational ability was severely limited. He sent two assists in the first quarter, resulting in the Jazz's offense having no rules.

The Jazz's best performers are Ellis and Anderson. If they weren't for their strong performance, the Jazz might have collapsed in the first quarter.

On the Nuggets' side, Chi Liang performed the best. Not only did he make achievements on the defensive end, but he also gave 15 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds on the offensive end.

In addition to him, Fordson was the best performer, who showed his rebounding mischievous side. He only scored two points in the first quarter, but grabbed 6 rebounds.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nuggets sent out a semi-main lineup, with Clark and Fordson in the interior, and the rest were Van Exel, Stich and Williams respectively.

On the other side, seeing Chi Liang and McDace resting, the Jazz wanted to take the opportunity to narrow the gap and send out the main lineup again.

Faced with the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics, Van Exel said he was helpless. With Stockton's organizational ability, their double-teaming efficiency was very low.

But if he changes defense, he will face Ma Long. He is not Chi Liang, and he does not have enough height, wingspan and strength, so the limitation on Ma Long is minimal.

Under this situation, Malone began to explode and hit the mid-range shot continuously.

In addition to Malone, Hornersek is also constantly exerting strength. He has excellent running skills, running out of open positions again and again, and has made two consecutive three-pointers.

Seeing Hornersek hit a three-pointer in a row, D'Antoni was quite angry and pinched his waist and shouted at Stich: "Hold him around, don't let him run out of the open! Nick, Eric, you should also pay more attention!"

Under D'Antoni's instructions, Van Exel and Williams began to pay attention to Hornersekdoga, and as long as he ran out of the open space, he immediately helped to defend nearby.

The Jazz's flaws are too big, and whether they are Stockton or Russell, their scoring ability is not outstanding.

Under the target of the Nuggets, Hornersek began to silence and never had a chance to get a free spot.

The Jazz didn't take advantage, though, because they had a hard time stopping Van Exel.

The Peak Jazz is very similar to the Pistons' "Bad Boys Legion" back then. They are both known for their rough defense and iron blood, and they advocate physical confrontation the most.

But now unlike before, their defense has begun to decline, especially the point guard, which is often blown up by other teams.

Stockton's defense is almost useless against Van Exel. He can often easily complete the breakthrough with just one acceleration. His hand is very smooth, and he scores with emergency stop jump shots again and again.

Van Exel scored 11 points in the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, which also caused the Jazz to not narrow the gap.

Beep~

At this time, Sloan called a timeout and wanted to limit Van Exel's performance, but when the timeout was over, he had no choice but to find out that D'Antoni chose to substitute and switch to the starting lineup.

Seeing Chi Liang appear on the court, Stockton suddenly had a headache because before they could serve, this guy posted it to him again.

However, Stockton was not helpless. Under the cover of his teammates, he temporarily got rid of Chi Liang.

But when he received the basketball, Chi Liang put it on again and took the initiative to seek physical confrontation.

Under targeted defense, Stockton doesn't even want to take a walk.

I have to admit that it can indeed play a very good role against players like Stockton!

As a result, Stockton was greatly restricted, and his physical strength was also increasing.

In desperation, Stockton had to use the pick-and-roll to temporarily throw Chi Liang away. However, facing Fordson who switched defense, Stockton had no choice but to pass the ball to Malone again.

Faced with Chi Liang's strong resistance, Ma Long was restricted and could only transfusion blood to the team intermittently.

Meanwhile, under the rotational defense of Chi Liang and Fordson, his physical strength was drifting quickly.

The offensive end cannot be opened and the defensive end cannot be much better. The Jazz can't defend against the Nuggets' offense at all, and the score gap begins to expand.

Sloan was anxious and called two consecutive timeouts, but the Jazz still failed to save the situation on the court, so he could only watch the gap wider and wider.

The unfavorable pick-and-roll was restricted, which greatly affected their performance. In a sense, the Nuggets were the nemesis of the Jazz.

In the past few minutes, Chi Liang made another effort, leading the Nuggets to a 14:6 shock wave, expanding the lead to 23 points in one fell swoop.

In the second quarter, Chi Liang scored 9 points again and scored 24 points in the first half alone.

The most annoying thing was Stockton. He was completely defeated by Chi Liang in the first half and scored 2 points and 4 assists.

In addition, under Chi Liang's death, his physical strength was lost a lot, and he didn't have many chances to play in the second half.

"It's time for a wave of flow to solve the opponent!"

Looking at the difference between the two sides, Chi Liang made a decision in his heart, and he didn't want to bring the suspense to the fourth quarter.

So, after the halftime break, Chi Liang played again and activated his dynamic vision state.

Compared with the first half, the Jazz strengthened their defense and improved their defensive aggression.

But facing Chi Liang, who was fully fired, the Jazz didn't have much choice. The entire third quarter seemed to have become Chi Liang's personal scoring show.

Three-pointers**, emergency stop jump shot, step back shot, back-on singles, pull-up layup...

For a time, Chi Liang was extremely efficient, which led to the gap being widened. Before the third quarter ended, the lead was more than 30 points.

The time behind naturally became garbage. If both sides had a tacit understanding, Chi Liang did not continue to appear and began to retain his strength for the next game.
