Chapter 142 The seventh cap
When it came to the defensive end, Chi Liang quickly made achievements.
Schramf and Ellis cover each other, Herrera and Billups have to choose to switch defenses. Seeing Schramf appear, Payton immediately chose to pass the ball.
After catching the basketball, Schramf immediately raised the basketball, stared at the basket with his eyes, and made a shooting move.
Whether it was a fake move or not, Billups could only jump up. There was no way, the height difference between him and Schramph was too big.
Schramf did not shoot, and took advantage of the moment Billups took off and immediately chose to break through with the ball.
After two steps forward, I immediately chose to make an emergency stop jump shot.
"careful!"
At this time, Payton's voice sounded, but his reminder was obviously one step late.
When Schramf was shooting, Chi Liang rushed from the side, hitting the side with a big hat on his face, slapped the basketball towards the sideline.
When the basketball was about to pop out of the sideline, Herrera flew to save the ball and rescued the ball in time.
After some competition, Van Exel grabbed the basketball and immediately rushed towards the front court with the ball.
After running through the middle lap, Van Exel immediately passed to Billups, who scored the ball in the air.
Beep~
At this moment, the Supersonics chose to substitute. In the eyes of the Supersonics head coach, since it is impossible to limit players like Chi Liang, they should simply use attacks and attack, so they replaced Aaron Williams with Owens.
Except for McCoy, all four players on the Supersonics have excellent shooting abilities.
With the supersonic attack, Payton easily shook Van Exel's defense. He did not attack the basket, but quickly moved to the side again. Van Exel was originally trying hard to follow, but did not expect Payton's actions. The sudden change in consciousness made the body feel a little unresponsive.
At this time, Payton successfully attracted Billups' defense. Alice seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to run outside the three-point line, and soon received Payton's pass.
Swish~
Ellis jumped and shot, but this time the shot did not fail and entered the basket with hollow.
"Bad trouble!"
Chi Liang frowned slightly, but he had no choice. This was related to the team's running-in, and the opponent could easily tear open the defensive loopholes.
In the later time, the SuperSonics' three-pointers were still sharp, Schramf, Ellis and Owens all made three-pointers, and for a moment, three-pointers began to rain on the court.
However, under Chi Liang's organization, the teammates seemed to have found their backbone. Van Exel made consecutive shots, Billups made three-pointers again, and even Herrera found confidence. For a time, the Nuggets blossomed in full swing.
However, although Chi Liang's appearance changed the unfavorable situation for the Nuggets, he could not quickly overtake the score before the opponent's feel cooled down.
As the third quarter was about to end, a small episode appeared on the court. Perhaps the rebounding action was too big, Herrera and McCoy quarreled with each other, and it was about to have a conflict.
Fortunately, the players and referees on both sides reacted quickly and pulled them apart in time to avoid a conflict.
At this time, the referee bluntly gave them both a technical foul.
The two of them became honest in an instant. A technical foul would be fined. One or two thousand dollars may not be much, and it is nothing for those players who earn millions or even tens of millions a year.
But they are not among them. They are all substitutes, not only have low salaries, but there are almost no endorsements.
Not long after, the third quarter ended.
In the entire third quarter, Chi Liang did not score many points, but all his data rose. By the end of the third quarter, Chi Liang had already scored 24 points, 15 assists, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 3 steals.
At this time, some people who are interested noticed Chi Liang's data. There is no big problem with rebounds. As long as the game is still going on, rebounds will be generated.
As long as you complete the four-double, it is not only a good thing for Chi Liang, but also a good thing for the league, which can restore the league's influence to a certain extent.
Other data are easy to say, such as rebounds, assists, and scores can be created artificially. But blocks are different. If the opponent does not shoot in front of you, even if you have great skills, it is useless. Many players do not have a single block in the whole game, and get 4 blocks in just one quarter left, which is not very difficult.
After the start of the fourth quarter, both sides tacitly sent out a replacement lineup for the main players to rest.
In this lineup, Chi Liang continued to play, and he was the one who controlled the ball. His teammates were Clark, Herrera, Stich and Alexander.
On the other hand, Payton and Owens continued to play, and Hawkins, Aaron Williams and McCoy were equivalent to half of the main lineup.
According to the NBA rules, the Supersonic team successfully jumped the ball in the first quarter, so the ball rights in the fourth quarter continue to be controlled by the Supersonic team.
After the game started, Payton easily broke through Alexander, made a quick stop jump shot, widening the gap to five points again.
In the Nuggets' offense, Alexander passed the ball after halftime and passed the ball to Chi Liang. This time, Chi Liang was the small forward, and his opponent was naturally Schramf.
Standing outside the three-point line, Schramf opened his hands, his center of gravity slightly sinks, and he pulled a step away from Chi Liang, and the main defense Chi Liang broke through.
Even though the dynamic field of vision was turned on, due to the slightly poor feel, Chi Liang chose to break through with the ball. Even though Schramf was prepared, Chi Liang was still easily thrown away by crossing steps and rushed straight to the penalty area.
At this time, McCoy wanted to launch a coordinated defense.
McCoy assisted in defense in the front, and Schramf chased afterwards. Before being double-teamed, Chi Liang made a pass from the basketball first.
After receiving the basketball, Clark went down and dunked.
Perhaps due to physical strength, Payton's advancement speed was significantly slower, almost crossing the middle circle by pinching the point.
He was so tired that he had just experienced back-to-back looking, and then he only had a day off and was driven to compete with the Nuggets.
At this time, Payton used the pick-and-roll to easily throw away Alexander and rushed towards the penalty area with the ball.
Alexander turned around in a hurry and subconsciously wanted to chase Payton. It was at this time that he was shocked to find that the basketball in Payton's hand had disappeared.
Outside the arc top three-point line, Schramf received the basketball. It turned out that when Payton broke through, Schramf had an open position.
Without hesitation, Schramf took a jump shot.
But just as he was jumping, he felt dark before his eyes. Chi Liang appeared in front of him and took advantage of his height and arm length to successfully defeat the basketball.
