In a straight sprint, Chi Liang used his physical confrontation to squeeze Miller aside and grabbed the basketball first.

Chi Liang picked up the basketball and continued to run towards the front court.

Miller, who was standing beside him, waved his arms and tried to fight Chi Liang physically, hoping to delay Chi Liang's pace and provide time for his teammates to return to defense.

Squeak~

After taking the first two steps, Chi Liang stopped suddenly, and Miller couldn't stop it. When he finished the "brake", he opened two steps away from Chi Liang.

Without hesitation, Chi Liang jumped up, stared at the basket ahead, and shot another three-pointer.

At this moment, almost everyone held their breath and looked at the flying orange basketball.

"Don't go in, don't go in!"

This is the voice of most people. They know in their hearts that if this three-pointer is scored, the possibility of the Pacers turning around will become slim.

In this case, some viewers even covered their eyes and dared not look at the next scene. They hoped to hear cheers because it meant that the ball was not shot.

Swish~

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed, and the basketball was hollowed out into the net, taking away their hopes.

Although it is not a final kill, after this shot, the Nuggets will have a five-point advantage, and there are only 28 seconds left for the remaining time!

However, the Pacers did not give up hope, and they chose to pause, and Larry Bird stood up and began to set up tactics for the players.

On the other side, Chi Liang took the towel handed over by his teammate, wiped it casually, and began to fill Gatorade with big mouthfuls.

He was too tired and sweat couldn't stop flowing down. The whole jersey became wet and hung on Chi Liang.

Similar to Chi Liang, the players took advantage of the short rest time to breathe a little.

D'Antoni did not set up his tactics and just stood there quietly.

After the timeout, D'Antoni replaced McDaise with Alexander to avoid the opponent's free throw tactics.

Even if they have a five-point advantage, no one dares to underestimate the Pacers because their team has two all-time shooters, Miller and Mullin. Miller, especially, once scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds, dominating the famous Miller moment.

The Pacers' ball rights, Schmitz stood outside the sideline, holding the basketball high and preparing to serve.

Fordson stood in front of him, waving his hands to interfere with Schmitz's serve.

Everyone except them ran, and the Pacers players wanted to get rid of the Nuggets players, and they tried their best to provide Miller with double cover.

Under their cover, Miller ran out of the open space.

Schmitz immediately served and passed the ball to Miller. After receiving the ball with both hands, Miller shot the basketball without any adjustment.

Swish~

Miller made a key shot. After hitting this ball, the Pacers still have a chance to turn defeat into victory with the last 22 seconds left.

As soon as the Nuggets served, the Pacers adopted a foul tactic. Their target was not Chi Liang, but sent Billups to the free throw line.

Unfortunately, Billups withstood the pressure and made two free throws, and the situation was very good.

Bang~

The Nuggets are in the lead and naturally do not choose foul tactics. Under their strict defense, Mullin missed the key goal.

At this time, there were 7 seconds left, which also made the Pacers give up their resistance, but their subsequent actions made Chi Liang laugh and cry.

In order to prevent Chi Liang from breaking the record, and Sam Perkins is their teammate, Miller is close to Chi Liang, and the other four people keep their attention at all times, cutting off all passing routes, and not giving him any chance to catch the ball.

"Isn't it just breaking a record, so it's all!"

Chi Liang felt very depressed, but he was helpless.

In this case, Billups threw the basketball high after halftime.

Before the basketball landed, the beeping sounded that symbolized the end of the game. After some effort, the Nuggets defeated the Pacers away.

Hoosh~

After the game, a huge boo sounded in the stadium. I don’t know whether it was the Nuggets who won the victory, the home team who failed, or both.

"Rookie, I have to admit that you played great!"

After the game, Miller came to Chi Liang and said sincerely.

"Old bird, so do you!"

Chi Liang took the initiative to embrace Miller, this is a respectable player. Many players are opponents on the court and friends off the court, not to mention that this is just a regular season game.

“Do you have any idea to play in Indiana?”

"It's useless to ask me!"

Chi Liang just shrugged when asked about Miller's recruitment. Even if he was willing, he had to ask the Nuggets' management.

In this game, Miller and Mullin performed the best in the Pacers. They both maintained a high shooting percentage. Miller scored 21 points, while Mullin made 5 of 5 three-pointers, second only to Miller.

Unfortunately, they lost the game.

As for the Nuggets, except Chi Liang, the performance of the starting players was relatively poor, especially Mike Dais. Perhaps it took too much energy to spend in the last game, and only made 5 of 15 shots, and with free throws, he scored 16 points.

Fordson didn't score, but got 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, including six frontcourt rebounds.

Compared with them, Chi Liang's performance was like a god descending to earth. He played for a total of 40 minutes, made 16 of 22 shots, including 8 of 8 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 45 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds in the game, stealing everyone's attention.

Among them, 45 points also set a new personal scoring record.

While the players on both sides greeted each other, the coaches on both sides also shook hands and talked on the sidelines.

"Mike, you have a good player!"

"Stop, don't make any idea of ​​him!"

D'Antoni's expression changed. He and Larry Bird were players of the same period. They were familiar with each other, so he was afraid that Bird would play Chi Liang.

"Whatever you say is useful, you can't participate in the Nuggets' trade! But I'm different from you. I was the best coach last season and I have enough voice for the Pacers!"

D'Antoni was hit hard, but he had to admit that he was still a 'novice' coach and had a low status in the team and had no say in the Nuggets' deal.

"So what, our team management is not a fool, it is impossible to trade Chi Liang!"

D'Antoni was in a crisis, but he was still stubborn and thought that the management would not be so unwise.

Judging from the record, the Nuggets have the possibility of qualifying for the playoffs, so they naturally have to focus on stability and will not easily trade important players.

Even so, if the other party offers enough conditions to impress the Nuggets management, it will naturally be considered.
