Dunleavy did not substitute, this was the strongest lineup he could have.

Unlike the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets replaced Clark with Herrera, and the lineup became smaller.

Inspired by Dunleavy, the Trail Blazers players were full of fighting spirit and easily scored the goal with simple passes and cuts, overtaking the score again.

When the lineup is full of brisk players, the Nuggets' offense becomes more comfortable and more suitable for running and bombing tactics.

After a quick serve, Van Exel took the ball and advanced, and the rest of the Nuggets began to charge and rushed to the frontcourt as fast as possible.

Soon, the tired Sabonis became the tail of the crane again, and O'Neal Jr. was not much better, and was gradually surpassed by other Nuggets players. For a moment, a situation of five to three appeared in the frontcourt.

Stadamier stepped forward and wanted to harass Van Exel and gain more time for his teammates to return to defense.

Van Exel did not stick to the ball and immediately passed the ball to Chi Liang. Ledel gritted the bullet and greeted him.

This time, Chi Liang chose to pass the ball and immediately distributed the ball to Billups who ran to the bottom corner.

Under no defense, Billups made a three-pointer!

This season, Billups' three-point shooting percentage has been much higher, reaching 36.2%, and he is also the player with the team's most three-point shooting besides Chi Liang.

Bang~

However, the three-pointer who was originally sure to score was not hit.

However, with his superior reaction, Chi Liang tried his best to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed it to the open Fordson before being double-teamed, and the latter suddenly rose up on the spot and smashed the ball into the basket.

Dunleavy frowned and felt a headache for the Nuggets' fast break. He wanted to replace Sabonis, but the consequences were also obvious, that is, the inside threat of the Trail Blazers will be greatly reduced.

The young O'Neal is far from able to take on the Trail Blazers' inside attack.

In this case, Dunleavy could only allow Stadameer and Ledel to strengthen their harassment of the Nuggets and give the Trail Blazers enough time to return to defense.

Time passed slowly, and the scores of the two teams continued to intersect, and a draw was tied for a while.

Swish~

With Herrera's harassment, Sabonis easily made a shot and overtook the score again.

With the last 16 seconds left in the game, without hesitation, D'Antoni chose to pause and began to arrange the final tactics.

Since he couldn't score in the inside, D'Antoni put his hopes on the outside, replaced Herrera and Fordson with Stich and Alexander, forming a five-square-line.

In terms of task assignment, D'Antoni arranged Chi Liang as the first striker. Even if his right hand was injured, Chi Liang's touch was still good.

Dunleavy is worthy of being the "old man". After the timeout, he also chose to substitution, changing Sabonis and Stadameier to the court, replacing two players with good defense.

There is no doubt that Dunleavy wants to hold the final score.

The Nuggets serve on the sideline, and the Trail Blazers adopted a round-change strategy and began to hinder the Nuggets serve.

However, Chi Liang served the ball. With his reaction speed, he could always grasp it quickly as long as there was a fleeting opportunity.

No surprise, Chi Liang threw out the basketball at the moment when Billups ran out of the gap.

After receiving the basketball, Billups did not take action, but passed the ball out again.

The Trail Blazers gave up rotating defense, but instead adopted a man-to-man defense, and did not dare to rob.

In this case, the basketball fell back and forth in the hands of the Nuggets players. With the last five seconds left, Chi Liang finally received the basketball.

At the first moment, Chi Liang, with his strong body, squeezed out Wolft Williams and rushed towards the penalty area.

Since it was only one point away, Chi Liang naturally had no idea of ​​shooting three-pointers. In addition, the closer he was to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, which was also the reason why he hit the penalty area.

If possible, he can still settle for the second best, commit fouls and get free throws. With his background of taking the game with injuries, it will be easier to win the sympathy of the referee.

At this time, Leidel wanted to leave Stich behind, but was confused by Chi Liang's pass-fake action. Time flies. When he wants to start assisting again, it is obviously too late.

The moment he stepped into the penalty area, Chi Liang raised his hand and jumped out. At this moment, everyone stared at the orange-red basketball, and the fans present prayed, hoping that it would fall into the basket.

Beep~

Before the basketball fell, the beeping sounded that symbolized the end of the game.

Swish~

In an instant, the basketball fell into the net, splashing a beautiful net flower.

A buzzer-beating kill!

After seeing the ball enter, Chi Liang jumped up excitedly. This was his first buzzer-beating victory in the playoffs and did not leave any suspense for his opponent.

The buzzer-beating victory is to help the team take away the victory directly. Many players have never enjoyed such a wonderful moment in their lifetime.

At this moment, the audience was cheering, and both the Nuggets and the fans cheered and welcomed the victory in different ways.

Unlike them, the Trail Blazers coach and the players were frustrated. They lost and were defeated by Chi Liang, who only used his left hand.

Dunleavy's face was even more pale, but he was helpless. If he lost, he would lose. He was not the kind of person who could not afford to lose. Even if this game was very important in his heart, it was not the end of the world. Both sides returned to the starting point, and the total score became 2:2.

But before the start of the series, their advantage became even greater, because Chi Liang was injured. Although he played well in the last few minutes, he would definitely not be able to use his full strength.

In this game, Chi Liang was the one who performed the best, playing for 31 minutes, scoring 35 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds.

In addition to him, Van Exel scored 22 points, Billups scored 18 points, and the three of them scored 75 points together.

"Congratulations to the Nuggets for winning. They played very tenaciously and were fully matched with this victory, especially Chi Liang, who is very resilient. I believe many teams regret it because they did not choose Chi Liang in the draft!"

At the post-match press conference, Dunleavy responded in response to the interview with the reporters.

To be honest, Chi Liang's performance surprised Dunleavy, but he did not regret it because last year's Trail Blazers did not have the right draft pick.

"Coach Mike, Rahim's pushing move is very dangerous. I want to ask you what you think of him?"

At this time, the media began to ask Raheem's questions. Dunleavy could not say bad things about his players, so he naturally chose to avoid the important things. In the end, the press conference could only end in a bad mood.

"I really can't imagine what the butcher thought at that time, and made him make dangerous moves that deviate from sportsmanship! I hope the league will give him enough punishment and not let such a tragedy continue to happen!"
