Chapter 98 40+ Triple Doubles
After the Nuggets re-served, Chi Liang took the initiative to go forward to control the ball. His movements were very slow, almost half-time passed by stuck time.
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Chi Liang's words seemed to contain contagiousness. The Nuggets present were a little more calm and less impatient, and began to cooperate with each other to cover each other.
Duncan was a little anxious. He knew Chi Liang was delaying time, but he was still calm on the surface, as calm as before, staring at Chi Liang tightly.
Chi Liang controlled the ball sideways and deliberately raised his head, as if he was looking at the timer. It was also at this time that Duncan felt that the opportunity had come, so he immediately took a step forward and wanted to steal.
If it were normal, Duncan would never be so rash, but now the game time is less than a minute. If it continues to delay, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Spurs.
Unfortunately, Chi Liang did not look at the timer, just to lure Duncan. So the moment Duncan stepped forward, Chi Liang's center of gravity sank, and he completed the breakthrough with cross steps, trying to hit the inside.
Tear ~
As soon as he said this, Duncan immediately stretched out his right hand and grabbed Chi Liang's jersey. Due to excessive force, a piece of the jersey was torn off.
The moment Duncan was pulled, Chi Liang subconsciously threw out the basketball and then fell to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the basketball bounced high after hitting the basket, and finally landed into the basket again.
Beep~
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Hey, this is all in!"
Chi Liang didn't expect that he just threw it casually and didn't even aim the basket, but the ball went in and shrugged at Duncan.
Duncan stared at his eyes, showing his hopelessness. He did not hesitate to foul, but the ball went in.
Swish~
No surprise, Chi Liang hit a free throw steadily, widening the gap to 6 points.
There are only 39 seconds left before the game ends.
Beep~
Popovich applied for a timeout and began to arrange tactics to the players.
When the timeout ended, the Spurs players quickly landed and they wanted to shoot three-pointers. As a result, the Nuggets' defense was very strict, and neither Johnson nor Jackson found a chance.
As a last resort, the basketball passed to Robinson, and after forcibly squeezing away Mike Des, he easily dunked the ball.
After the Nuggets served, Chi Liang received the basketball again, and Johnson immediately stepped forward and wanted to make a steal.
Unfortunately, Chi Liang's reaction was very fast. He just pulled and broke through Johnson and rushed towards the frontcourt with just one push.
At this time, Jackson rushed over and wanted to foul Chi Liang, but Chi Liang threw the basketball and passed the ball to the frontcourt.
After transferring the basketball, Jackson immediately stopped the action, and he did not dare to foul the players without the ball.
Foul tactics are well-known tactics when the game is about to end. If the opponent deliberately fouls against a team without a player in the last two minutes of each quarter, the party who is fouled will receive a penalty of one free throw.
If Chi Liang is not in the ball, the Nuggets will still control the Nuggets and will have another free throw. As long as they are not stupid, they will not do this.
After Chi Liang passed the basketball, Alexander finally received the basketball. He did not hit the basket, but rushed towards the uninhabited place.
Well, he's delaying time.
In desperation, Duncan had to foul Alexander.
During the free throw stage, Alexander withstood the pressure and made two free throws, widening the gap to 6 points again.
In the attack of the Spurs, they rushed to the frontcourt quickly and used Jackson's cover to run out of the open space.
Johnson immediately passed the ball, Jackson scored three points.
Unfortunately, Chi Liang assisted in defense quickly, which eventually interfered with Jackson's shooting, causing the opponent to shoot.
Mike Desert desperately got stuck and finally grabbed the defensive rebound. At this time, even if the Spurs fouled Mike Desert, they were powerless to make the situation come true.
115:112
After the game, the Nuggets narrowly defeated the Spurs by three-point advantage, and finally won a victory after two consecutive losses.
It was also at this time that commentator Bob suddenly said in a surprising tone: "The best one in the game is our Denver Light. Let's take a look at his technical statistics. Chi Liang played for a total of 40 minutes... Oh my god, he got 40 triple-double. Is this really a rookie? It's really incredible."
Wow~
Pepsi Center was silent for a moment, and then the audience was excited. They couldn't think of who had accomplished the 40 triple-double in the team's history, and cheers echoed in the sky for a while.
In this game, Duncan was the best performer of the Spurs. He played 46 minutes, made 14 of 27 shots, and 6 of 10 free throws. He scored a total of 34 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.
Among them, there are 7 rebounds in the frontcourt alone, but the Nuggets are the ones who laugh to the end.
In addition to Chi Liang, the Nuggets performed best was Mike Dess, who played 34 minutes, made 12 of 20 shots, made 5 of 8 free throws, and efficiently scored 29 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
Judging from the data, McDyce performed very well, and his shooting percentage was very high, but because his playing time was not as good as Duncan, the data was slightly inferior.
Of course, although Duncan and McDyce performed well, they were still a little different from Chi Liang. They made 17 of 24 shots in the game, including 5 of 8 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws, and scored a total of 46 points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds, and 3 steals. It is no wonder that the commentator was so surprised.
Among them, 46 points also set a new record for Chi Liang's personal scoring.
"Your performance is great, you deserve to be a player from Wake Forest University!"
After the game, Duncan took the initiative to come to Chi Liang and praised him with his last words.
"Senior, you are great too!"
Chi Liang and Duncan hugged, but when they let go, Duncan smiled strangely. His right hand instantly touched Chi Liang's head and rubbed it hard.
"Damn it! Touch your head and kill it!"
Chi Liang was shocked. Unexpectedly, Duncan was waiting for him here. When he wanted to resist, Duncan took the initiative to withdraw his right hand.
Duncan has a unique habit of being a head-touching maniac. Whether it is a teammate or an opponent, he can basically not escape his claws.
"Will I be like Ginobili-bald?"
After Duncan left, Chi Liang's image of later generations emerged in his mind. Ginobili, who was originally floating in his hair, finally turned into a bald head.
Not far away, D'Antoni and Popovich shook hands and greeted each other.
"I regret it now, very much. At that time, I should have increased my chips and brought him to San Antonio!"
Popovich sighed with emotion that the Spurs were already very "careful" to Chi Liang, but he still got the big data.
"Greg, only we, the Nuggets, are the most suitable for him!"
D'Antoni was full of vigilance and too lazy to talk to Popovichdo anymore, leading the team back to the locker room.
