Chapter two hundred and sixty nerve knife
It was also at this time that the Pistons head coach finally reacted and immediately chose to pause, then made a substitution adjustment, replacing Jerome Williams with inaction Mills.
Although Williams has 206 cm, he only has 93 kg. His speed and flexibility may be able to keep up with Chi Liang, but there is a clear gap in strength and tonnage.
The Pistons head coach was helpless, and he could only hope that Williams could entangle Chi Liang and minimize his shooting rate.
After the timeout, the Pistons' ball rights, Hunter broke through with the ball, but did not throw away Billups.
Billups did not lose his position and harassed Hunter all the time, forcing the latter to pass the ball to Starkhouse.
Without hesitation, facing Kidders' defense, Starkhouse chose to make a comeback jump shot.
Swish~
At the critical moment, Starkhouse took the knife and scored a valuable two points for the Pistons.
Seeing that there was no chance of a fast break, after re-serving, Chi Liang slowly ran to the frontcourt, and Billups dribbled past the frontcourt.
After his teammates got in the position, Chi Liang received the basketball again. Just as he was about to play Williams on his back, Leitner rushed up and double-teamed Chi Liang with Williams.
However, Chi Liang was still calm. He moved his feet while holding the basketball and immediately found a chance to pass the ball.
Bang~
The basketball rebounded from the ground and appeared outside the bottom corner three-point line. After receiving the basketball, Billups immediately shot a three-pointer against Hunter.
Bang~
Unfortunately, he missed a three-pointer, but Chi Liang seized the opportunity and, with the help of O'Neal, tweeted the basketball hard, and finally hit the ball into the basket.
The Pistons head coach saw it and was anxious, but he couldn't think of a way to stop Chi Liang for the time being. He could only hope that the players would be more powerful enough.
This process did not last long. In the eighth minute of the second quarter, the Nets began to rotate and chose the semi-main lineup again.
On the Pistons' side, Starkhouse came off the court and Hill continued to stay on the court and organized the team's offense.
Since Chi Liang and O'Neal Jr. were not on the court, the Pistons' offense was obviously much smoother. In addition, their hot touches were often hitting the basket, quickly narrowing the gap.
Of course, this is also related to the Nets' defense. Since the running-in is not as good as the Pistons, it is difficult for the Nets to limit the Pistons' offense.
In addition, Cage is old after all, which also leads to Letterner's outbreak, starting to seek out in the penalty area, and his scores rise rapidly.
On the other hand, the Nets were obviously in trouble. Under the tight defense of the Pistons, the Nets began to fall into a scoring drought, especially not to mention that they missed three consecutive shots.
Except for Armstrong, other players also have poor hands. They keep making irons for a while, giving people the feeling that they are comparing to who has made more irons, and thus fell into a scoring drought.
Beep~
Seeing that the situation was not good, Coach Rivers quickly applied for a suspension and began to give the players a plan.
After returning to the court, the Nets finally improved, but their efficiency was still not as good as the Pistons. The original advantage of the lead was gradually eroded by the Pistons.
However, the Nets did not stop scoring after all, and with only more than three minutes, they were still in the lead by the end of the first half, but their advantage was eroded by most of them.
61:58
This is the score of the first half. In the second quarter, Chi Liang scored a quasi-double of 16 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds in just the first half.
Not long after, the halftime ended and the third quarter officially began. Under the arrangement of coach Rivers, Chi Liang continued to play, and his partner was O'Neal Jr., Mageti, Kidders and Billups.
Compared with Newman, Mageti may not have enough experience, but he has better physical fitness. Coach Rivers hopes that Mageti can limit Hill.
Unfortunately, Hill did not continue to play, and the Pistons were led by Starkhouse.
Hunter pushed the ball with the ball. After coming outside the three-point line, he passed the ball to Starkhouse. Then he and his teammates dispersed, giving Starkhouse enough singles room.
The next moment, Starkhouse changed direction and broke through, and threw away Kidders in two or three steps, quickly approaching the basket.
Squeak~
A harsh friction sounded. Before Chi Liang assisted in defense, Starkhouse stopped and jumped the ball to the basket with force.
Swish~
This goal was scored!
After the offense and defense conversion, due to the great advantages of the inside, the Nets naturally focus on the inside.
After a pass, Chi Liang knocked away Williams and made a jump shot without any impact, easily throwing the ball into the basket.
In the next round, Starkhouse made a cold three-pointer, and before Kidders reacted, he made another three-pointer, showing a hot touch.
On the other hand, the Nets played in the inside again. This time, after attracting double-teams, Chi Liang passed the ball to O'Neal Jr., who scored a layup.
Next will be a real battle, but the Nets' offense is still stable and will continue to focus on the inside.
Facing Chi Liang and O'Neal Jr.'s Nets double towers, the Pistons are unable to limit them and can always be easily scored by them.
Unfortunately, Starkhouse was like he was crazy. His touch was quite hot, showing his nerve knife temperament. With his support, the Nets were always difficult to widen the gap.
Beep~
In order to interrupt Starkhouse's touch and to limit him, Coach Rivers chose to pause and instead replaced Kidders with Newman.
After the timeout, the Pistons also changed, and Hill came on the court again to organize the team's offense.
The Nets' offense, taking advantage of Hunter's lack of concentration, Billups broke through with the ball, and before the opponent put pressure on him, he suddenly accelerated, temporarily threw away the opponent and quickly rushed to the penalty area.
At this time, the Pistons' Williams rushed towards him.
It was also at this time that Billups jumped up towards Williams. He did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball towards the bottom corner on the left.
The basketball passed through the gap and appeared in Chi Liang's hand. It turned out that during the process just now, Chi Liang did not follow Williams closely, but moved towards the bottom corner.
Before Hill assisted in defense, Chi Liang jumped up, tried to stretch his body as much as possible, and gently shot the basketball.
Swish~
The basketball is hollow into the net, and the white and red nets sway a beautiful net flower.
After hitting a three-pointer, Chi Liang slowly stepped back and began to organize the team's defense.
Soon, Hunter used Williams' cover to easily get rid of Billups' entanglement and ran out of the three-point line.
Hill immediately passed the ball. Before Billups rushed, Hunter even had time to adjust, staring at the basket ahead and making a soothing three-pointer.
Swish~
Wow~
