At the moment of three-point shooting, the Nuggets successfully overtook the score. At the same time, a beeping that symbolizes the end of the first quarter sounded.

Soon, the second quarter began.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was almost exactly the same as the first quarter. Both sides continued to maintain a very high hit rate, and no one could defend against each other.

Chi Liang did not play immediately. After five minutes of rest, he began to lead the substitute lineup.

On the other hand, the Rockets were led by Barkley and led a team of substitutes to the bench.

Unexpectedly, in the remaining time of the second quarter, it was not Chi Liang or Charles Barkley who was the most popular, but the Rockets' substitute Osella Harrington.

Even when they are role players, they are in a very hot state, and it is their turn to 'eat dumplings'.

This is the case with Harrington. In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Harrington broke out without warning. In just five minutes, he seemed to be omnipotent, scoring 12 points and maintaining an efficient shooting percentage.

On the other hand, the Nuggets' substitute felt the impact. Even if Chi Liang tried his best to organize, his efficiency was still not as good as that of the Rockets.

So when the second quarter ended, the Rockets successfully overtook the Nuggets with a score of 61:55.

"Rebound, look at our rebound comparison, how many offensive rebounds they snatched and turned them into points. We must strengthen the protection of the backcourt rebounds, and everyone must also participate in the rebounding competition!"

During the halftime break, D'Antoni roared loudly on all the players present, and he was helpless. The Rockets, which mainly focused on defense, scored 61 points in the first half. In addition to their hot touch, it was also related to the multiple second-offensive games.

After losing Fordson, the team's rebounding queen, the Nuggets' ability to protect rebounds further declined. Compared with the Rockets, the Nuggets' rebounds were outrageously poor, and they were unfavorable to rebounding protection many times, but were beaten to the Rockets as a second offense.

Not long after, the Nuggets strengthened their protection of rebounds at the beginning of the third quarter. Even for outside players, they no longer blindly sought speed and began to help the inside compete for rebounds.

In the first half, the Nuggets played in the inside, both Chi Liang and McDais received miraculous effects.

But in the second half, the Rockets began to realize this and began to strengthen their defense against Chi Liang, while also exercising strict double-teams against McDyce.

However, the Nuggets' offense did not stop. Under Chi Liang's organization, the Nuggets' outside group began to make efforts. Whether it was Van Exel, Billups, or Alexander who came on the bench, they assumed the scoring responsibility and were very efficient, which controlled the situation for the Nuggets.

Unfortunately, on the defensive end, the Nuggets still cannot curb the Rockets' offense, especially Olajuwon, who is like a second spring, and neither Chi Liang nor Mike Dais are helpless with his low-post offense.

"Fast, faster, we must accelerate. I believe that those old guys won't last long. We must persevere and run to death as soon as possible. Then we will have the advantage. Do you understand?"

After the third quarter, D'Antoni shouted loudly because the scene was too noisy, continuing to emphasize his castrated version of the run-boom tactics.

D'Antoni is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams. The biggest disadvantage of the Rockets is that their three core members are too old!

Olajuwon and others are indeed very good, and they maintain their condition very well, giving people the feeling that they are not inferior to young people. But judging from their past data, the more they reach the end of the game, the more they will experience a crisis in their physical fitness, which will eventually lead to disconnection in the game.

Compared with the Rockets, the Nuggets are obviously younger and emphasize fast and smooth offense, which is also D'Antoni's style. As long as they play their advantages, they can curb the Rockets' offense.

On the other side, the Rockets' bench looked at the panting Olajuwon, Shuai Tang felt helpless. Olajuwon fought too hard in the first three quarters, and he was afraid he could not count on him in the fourth quarter.

However, Shuai Tang was still mature and slowly conveyed his tactical intentions to the players.

"After playing, Mobley, remember not to be hot-headed and not be taken away by the opponent's rhythm. In addition, we continue to strengthen our defense and must always give them a sense of oppression. Another thing we must remember is to lock the opponent's No. 1 rookie, remember not to let him play!"

In Tang Shuai's opinion, Chi Liang is definitely the biggest variable in the fourth quarter. According to previous practice, the opponent may explode in the fourth quarter, and he likes to take away his opponent with one wave of flow.

Compared with Van Exel, Chi Liang is the source of the Nuggets' offensive. As long as he can play out, he can activate the Nuggets' offense and bring huge trouble to the Rockets.

But Tang Shuai was very confident. For Chi Liang, who can break through, shoot and organize, it will be difficult to lock the opponent unless the opponent performs poorly.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Van Exel was still resting off the court, with Alexander acting as the point guard, while Billups was the shooting guard and began running on the outside.

As before, after halftime, Alexander passed the ball to Chi Liang who came to the high position, and he organized the team's offense.

"The King of Section 4!"

"The King of Section 4!"

The moment Chi Liang received the ball, the fans seemed to be organized, and they shouted Chi Liang's nickname.

At this time, Chi Liang was more like Chris Webber of the Kings. He relied on the perfect combination of technology, speed and field vision, and could rely on his personal ability to score, and could also drive his teammates to better display their strength.

The moment he received the ball, Chi Liang immediately divided the ball to the right. It turned out that Billups had temporarily appeared with the help of McDace's cover.

Opportunities were fleeting, but Chi Liang seized the opportunity well with his reaction, vision and passing skills.

Outside the three-point line, Billups comfortably received the basketball and shot without making any adjustments.

Swish~

A three-pointer made a shorter score to two points.

The Rockets' offense ended with Barkley's iron attack. Under Chi Liang's organization, the Nuggets launched a fast attack.

After breaking into the three-point line, facing Pippen's defense, Chi Liang did not break through, but instead made a basketball pass again.

Outside the arc top three-point line, Alexander received the ball and jumped the ball, and the basketball went into the net, allowing the Nuggets to overtake the score and regain the advantage.

In the subsequent process, the Rockets' physical strength was affected and their shooting percentage began to decline. In contrast, under Chi Liang's organization, the Nuggets players felt hot and had extremely high efficiency.

In addition, in terms of controlling the rhythm, Mobley was completely led by Chi Liang, causing the rhythm of the whole audience to significantly speed up.

Even if Shuai Tang kept roaring, he still couldn't change the situation on the field.

At this time, the fans began to sing and dance. Although the game was not over yet, the team's excellent performance had completely excited them.
Chapter completed!
