Chapter 172 Omnipotence
72:80
This is also the score in the third quarter, and the Nuggets are temporarily leading, but due to the notch difference in points, as long as the Nuggets are slacking off, they may be taken advantage of by the opponent to overtake.
Chi Liang sat on the bench with a big golden knife. Due to the intense exercise, he couldn't help but breathe heavily. His jersey was even wet with sweat, and he could squeeze out water.
The biggest disadvantage of starting the visual state is that it consumes too much physical strength, so he can only use it leisurely, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the entire audience.
In addition, if the physical strength is severely reduced, it will more or less affect performance.
"How do you feel?" During the break, D'Antoni came to Chi Liang. He didn't want any mistakes at critical moments. In addition, this is also his emphasis on Chi Liang.
"Don't worry, I can hold on until the end of the game!"
"Then I'll be relieved!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, D'Antoni did not continue to disturb him, nor did he promulgate the tactics. He played against the Jazz for five consecutive games, and the tactics he could use had long been used.
According to the rules of jumping ball, the Nuggets will control the ball after the start of the fourth quarter.
After a quick pass, Billups passed the ball and passed it to Chi Liang who was plunging into the penalty area.
Facing Ma Long's defense, Chi Liang used force on his back and completed the turn. He took a step forward and kept parallel to Ma Long. He gently hooked his right hand and the basketball was hollowed into the frame.
Ma Long said he was helpless. He had tried his best. Chi Liang was too flexible. In addition, he had an unexpected reaction speed. Even though he was experienced, he felt a sense of being overwhelmed and it was difficult to limit him.
After serving at the bottom line, Malone ran towards the frontcourt.
Soon, with the help of Malone's pick-and-roll, Stockton got rid of Van Exel's entanglement and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
Williams, who was closest to the game, quickly left Russell and wanted to assist in defense against Stockton.
When Russell, who was in the open position, received the basketball. Williams was anxious, but there was no time at this time.
Swish~
The basketball entered the net and pulled the score back again.
In order to win the game, the Jazz generals were desperately in a position to fight, and their defense became more oppressive.
Even so, they could limit other offensive points, but they were always unable to limit Chi Liang, so he asked for it.
Chi Liang's normal state has a limit to his strength, which is probably equivalent to the All-Star level.
But once the vision is activated, everyone's movements slow down, which almost means that his reactions become faster, and he also has more time to think and adjust. This also leads to his level in all aspects being much higher than normal, and he is naturally invincible, almost two levels higher, equivalent to a superstar of explosiveness.
With Chi Liang's personal ability, the score continued to widen and soon reached double digits.
The Jazz naturally did not give up. This time, after halftime, Stockton gave a look.
After seeing Stockton's eyes, Van Exel's attention was distracted, thinking that Malone was going to come up to pick-and-roll.
It was also at this time that Stockton took advantage of the situation to break through. Even though Van Exel was distracted, his speed was very fast and he was not completed by the opponent.
At this moment, Stockton pulled the basketball and began to break through to the other side. Van Exel did not doubt that he was, and quickly moved in small steps to intercept Stockton.
But while moving, a tall figure blocked it in advance. Van Exel had no time to brake and hit Malone and almost fell to the ground.
Using Malone's pick-and-roll, Stockton took two quick steps, then paused and wanted to pass back to the misplaced Malone.
Bang!
At the critical moment, Chi Liang, who was prepared, rushed out and rushed towards the basketball as fast as possible.
"I met it!"
With Chi Liang's efforts, his fingertips touched the basketball, which forced the basketball to change direction and bounced to the other side.
The moment the basketball rebounded, Billups grabbed the basketball first and immediately passed it to Van Exel, who had already started.
After receiving the basketball, Van Exel took the ball and started charging. Hornersek returned to defense quickly and completed the return defense first. He opened his hands and wanted to defend against the ball.
Van Exel opened his speed and rushed straight towards Hornersek. When he was about to approach the opponent, he held the ball and broke through to the right.
Hornersek hurriedly blocked, but the defense was more passive after all. Before he could stand up, Van Exel used the ball behind the back to dribble, crossed the ball with his left hand, and then broke through to the left.
Horacek realized it, but his body did not keep up. In a hurry, his body lost balance, his legs were mixed together, and he fell to the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner.
However, Horacek's defense also allowed Stockton and Russell to return to defense successfully.
With Van Exel's unstable foothold, Stockton wanted to steal.
At the critical moment, Van Exel did not panic, reached out and slapped the ball to Chi Liang who was running to the other side.
Under no defense, Chi Liang only needs to catch the ball and shoot.
Swish~
The basketball was hollowed into the net. After only more than four minutes in the fourth quarter, Chi Liang scored 10 points again.
Beep~
As the whistle rang, Sloan had to call for a pause.
"I don't care what you do, whether it's double-teaming or fouling, in short, I have to limit that guy and can't let him do it so recklessly anymore! We must win this game to advance to the second round!"
While Sloan was speaking, Malone clenched his hands tightly, blue veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were full of reluctance, and there was also some dullness.
From the second half of the third quarter to now, his defense against Chi Liang can only be described as bad, and it is almost impossible to limit it, which also makes him feel a little frustrated.
In Malone's opinion, Chi Liang is obviously different from ordinary players, and he has almost mastered every offensive method.
In his offensive list, he is more skilled in every offensive technique. With his ultimate reaction speed, the switching of offensive methods is often in an instant, and it is difficult for you to guess his next move.
For such an attack, you can only adopt a constant approach to change. The experience does not have much effect. Unless your physical fitness is similar or exceeds the pool, it is difficult to limit it.
There is no way. Chi Liang can only be described as unsolvable. It is difficult to limit one to one extreme.
Even if Ma Long was dissatisfied with Sloan's idea, he did not object to it. He was not a naughty man, and he was 36 years old and naturally seemed quite mature.
On the other side, the Nuggets bench.
"If you guessed correctly, they must want to limit Chi Liang. Otherwise, everyone will strengthen their running position after they come on the court. If the opponent doubles over Chi Liang, someone will inevitably be in the open position. Chi Liang, your task is very simple, just pass it to the players in the open position!"
