During the halftime break, the Nets were laughing and cheering, and coach Rivers also had a smile on his face. Obviously he was satisfied with his performance in the first half.

This is the home court of the Kings, and being able to suppress the Kings in the first half all highlights the strength of the Nets.

Chi Liang didn't say anything, wiping sweat with a towel while drinking Gatorade. In the first half, he played for a total of 20 minutes. He not only had to play against Weber, but also had to work tirelessly in defense and rebounding, which naturally lost a lot of physical strength.

Taking advantage of the intermission, he must recover some of his physical strength as soon as possible, and while winning the great data, he must also win.

Soon, Coach Rivers raised his hand and, after the players calmed down, took the tactical board and began to explain the tactics of the second half.

"Jermaine, I hope you can play in the third quarter. I don't have high requirements for you, but remember to pay attention. If you receive a basketball during offense, don't shoot or score with a slam dunk. If there is no chance, then hand the ball to Chi Liang; in addition, you must give me the ball to Divac, don't give him the chance to grab rebounds, and leave the rebound to Chi Liang!"

Coach Rivers thought for a while and finally looked at O'Neal Jr. He valued O'Neal Jr. and believed that with O'Neal Jr.'s potential, he had a chance to become the Nets' inside player, so he naturally didn't mind giving O'Neal Jr. a chance.

Princeton's tactics rely heavily on the ability to pass the ball in the inside. He must have a center with a broad vision and excellent passing ability, but there are very few such centers, and Divac is one of them. As long as Divac is solved, the Kings will become the meat on the chopping board - at the slaughter of others.

In the inside of the Nets on the court, Chi Liang was going to play against Weber, Cage was old again, and Faik was too short, so O'Neal Jr. became the best candidate.

In addition, Coach Rivers also saw Chi Liang's rebounding data, allowing O'Neal Jr. to entangle Divac, and also had the idea of ​​fulfilling him.

Compared to before, O'Neal was less nervous and seemed much calmer. He immediately responded loudly: "Coach, please ensure that the task is completed!"

Coach Rivers was quite satisfied with O'Neal Jr.'s response. He has not been in charge of the Nets for a long time and is a new coach. He has little control over the team, so he naturally has the idea of ​​cultivating his own line.

Unlike the laughing Nets, the atmosphere on the Kings was solemn. Adelman said to Webber with a serious face: "We have a big problem, especially lacking the protection of defensive rebounds! Chris, Chi Liang, who was facing you, got 20 rebounds in the first half, and you only have 3 rebounds! In the second half, try to push him out of the three-second zone, don't let him get too close to the basket, and leave the rebounds to Vlad!"

After scolding Weber, Adelman turned to Divac: "Vlad, as long as you have a chance, you will double-team Chi Liang with Chris."

Divac nodded. He doubled the team a few times in the first half, but he made little achievements.

Webber, who was standing aside, moved his mouth and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it. His defense was OK, but he really couldn't limit Chi Liang.

Of course, it is difficult for Chi Liang to limit him, but judging from the data in the first half, Chi Liang's performance is obviously better than Weber.

Soon, the second half begins!

After playing again, facing the All-Star Divac, O'Neal Jr. was obviously not confident enough and showed a nervous look.

"Jermaine, relax, you're too nervous! As long as you show your usual strength and be tougher, I believe you will have a way to limit him!"

Chi Liang naturally saw O'Neal's nervousness. He patted the latter's shoulder and said some encouragement words.

O'Neal did not speak, but nodded to Chi Liang with gratitude.

Winding teammates is also something that the team’s core must do!

After discovering that the Kings' offense was O'Neal Jr., Divac began to ask his teammate for the ball.

There is no way, it is related to O'Neal's poor performance in the first half.

However, when Divac received the ball, O'Neal Jr. immediately launched a suffocating defense towards him, and his performance was even more tough, constantly seeking physical confrontation with Divac.

Because the center of gravity is high and the strength is not as strong as O'Neal, Divac feels uncomfortable, but he still stands firm and wants to hook his hand sideways.

At this time, O'Neal was quite focused, feeling Divac's movements with his body, and his eyes were even more focused on his shoulders, trying to discover his movement trajectory.

So when Divac wanted to hook his hand, O'Neal was immediately alert and immediately jumped high. He jumped very high. As soon as Divac hooked the ball towards the basket, he slapped it down heavily and rubbed Divac's cheek.

O'Neal Jr. completed the blocking, and the basketball was grabbed by Anderson. As soon as he picked it up, he was stabbed by Billups in a blink of an eye. Everyone rushed towards the basketball.

At this moment, Webber grabbed the basketball, but before he could stand up, Chi Liang completed the steal and grabbed the ball from Webber.

After getting the ball, Chi Liang showed his passing posture and attracted Weber to move to the side. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Liang picked up the basketball and ran wildly towards the front court.

Peja rushed over immediately, trying to stop Chi Liang, but before he could get close, Chi Liang immediately raised his hand and threw the ball forward half.

It turned out that after seeing Chi Liang get the ball, Armstrong and Billups sprinted at the fastest speed. At this time, they had already rushed through the middle circle and were not far from the three-point line.

By the time the basketball fell, Armstrong had already run into the three-point line and he immediately rushed to the basket with the ball.

Facing the "White Chocolate" back to defense, Armstrong did not stick the ball, but passed the ball to Billups, who easily scored a layup.

The Kings' offense, this time, Divac was prepared and no longer underestimated O'Neal. The Kings cooperated again. After a dazzling pass, the basketball finally came to Peja's hand, and he took a knife and hit a three-pointer steadily.

After the offense and defense transition, Armstrong looked for opportunities on the outside, and Weber tightly entangled Chi Liang, not wanting to give him a chance to catch the ball.

As for other teammates, they were also closely followed by the Kings and there was no chance for a while.

Without hesitation, Chi Liang decisively left the penalty area and led Weber toward the three-point line. During the run, he blocked Anderson and helped Billups get rid of the entanglement.

Armstrong passed the ball, and Billups caught the ball and took the ball.

At the same time, Chi Liang immediately ran to the basket. He didn't know if Billups could make a shot, but he wouldn't give up as long as he had the chance to grab the rebound.

Because it was too sudden and the speed was faster than Weber, Chi Liang threw away Weber's position and rushed into the penalty area.

On the other hand, O'Neal Jr. did not go to see basketball, but followed the coach's instructions and tried his best to entangle Divac and did not give him a chance to compete for rebounds.

Bang~

The basketball bounced out of the box and just bounced towards Chi Liang's position. Before Weber arrived, Chi Liang gently eased his ape's arm and grabbed a valuable offensive rebound again.

However, at this moment, Divac left O'Neal Jr. and wanted to double-team with Weber.

Not far away, O'Neale Jr. appeared under the basket with a move.

Before Divac completed the double-team, Chi Liang threw the ball towards the basket with one hand. O'Neal did not hesitate, and with force both feet, he rose up from the ground and smashed the ball into the basket with force.
Chapter completed!
