Chapter 218: Eleven Consecutive Victories

Under the forced impact of the injury, the Knicks are in a backward state in the situation, but in fact it is only a five-point gap, in the body of the super team, he can make the trench, it can be said that he can step through the small ditch at any time, close at hand, the end of the world, it seems that it can also be explained in this way.

With a minute left in the third quarter, George Karl replaced Moxi for a break, and after the start of the fourth quarter, George Karl made a partial rotation, with Arenas as the offensive core, putting Witherspoon, Anthony, Reggie Evans and Nazel Mohammed. It seems that this lineup is more inclined to rebounding and defense than offense, but in fact, in this lineup, when George Karl completely delegated power to Arenas and Anthony, allowing these two to attack as they want, of course, these two people have offensive ability and independent ball handling ability in this lineup.

Surprisingly, such a rudimentary-looking lineup, instead of collapsing under the bench led by Kobe, began to suppress the Lakers, and the offensive capabilities of Arenas and Anthony were perfectly released.

Two minutes later, Sprewell replaced Witherspoon and began to block Kobe.

A minute later, the two sides were tied.

Phil Jackson frowned slightly, but he still didn't call a timeout, the situation is still in his control, so he has to trust the players on the field.

So, two minutes later, the Knicks overtook the Lakers by four points.

With seven minutes and fourteen seconds left, Phil Jackson called a timeout. He first whispered to Kobe Bryant to soothe the arrogant heart of this young man whose heart is higher than the sky, but now he is in a lot of life difficulties, and then, with a big wave of his hand, all the Lakers starters returned to the court.

George Karl thought about it, but he didn't all start and came back to keep the personnel on the pitch basically unchanged, just replaced Nazr Mohammed with Ratliff

Just when people thought that the Knicks' interior line would be broken through by the two giants, something surprising happened again, the Lakers' twin towers were weak, whether it was O'Neal or Malone, it was not that they couldn't beat the Knicks' inside, but it was obviously much harder than usual, and the forced impact of Mo Xi at the expense of physical strength finally paid off at this moment.

At the six-minute mark, the two sides were still deadlocked, and at this time, George Karl waved his hand again, the Knicks made substitutions, and Moxi, Houston, and Jason Williams came on. The Knicks began the lineup.

Mo Xi's return to the court made the atmosphere of the whole court very different, not to mention the cheers of the surrounding fans, not to mention the changes in everyone's expressions, mentality and momentum on the Knicks court, just the solemn expressions of everyone on the Lakers side made people clearly feel the boundless pressure from Mo Xi.

After getting on the court, Mo Xi took the lead and directly started the first wave of offense, this time, he did not force the Lakers' interior line like in the first half, but used the lightest and simplest way to score more efficiently.

Mo Xi and Williams blocked, this ball Mo Xi did not plunge directly into the interior as usual, but pulled a step to the side, O'Neal hesitated, did not let it go, but blocked the free throw line into the basket on the way.

Where did I think, Jason Williams passed the ball behind his back, shook his hand, and threw the ball to Mo Xi's chest, Mo Xi made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball, and hit a jump shot.

O'Neal is a little helpless, O'Neal in the regular season and O'Neal in the playoffs are indeed two extremes, O'Neal in the regular season is as long as he can win, and there is no problem at all with paddling or something, which is very different from O'Neal who is fighting for every inch of land in the playoffs.

The Knicks once again led the Lakers by four points at 80-76.

Turning around, the Lakers attacked, because of the influency of the interior offense, Payton and Kobe began to take over the offense, and Payton's Jason Williams, who was opposite him, was indeed better than Arenas in defense, but it was only to the average level of the league.

Payton sacrificed his ultimate weapon, the strongest in the No. 1 position, who had a bigger ass than Mark Jackson back then, squeezed Williams into the paint area, and then Payton turned over and made a jumper, Williams couldn't defend, so he watched Payton put the ball in the basket.

The defense of the No. 1 position seems to have been a shortcoming of the Knicks since Ward, in fact, even Ward and Charles back then, the No. 1 position of the Knicks is often blown up, this is already a historical problem, many teams are used to the No. 1 position as the final breakthrough point when facing the Knicks, the reason why it is the final breakthrough point is because the Knicks' interior line still has a barrier that must be faced, and now he has joined Ratliffe, if there is no No. 1 position that is good at projection, This shortcoming cannot be called a shortcoming.

The Lakers' offensive focus began to move outward, and the Knicks' offensive focus was all handed over to Mo Xi, and at the last moment, all the offense was handed over to Mo Xi to finish.

Seeing O'Neal's defense of Mo Xi's inaction, Ma Long decisively stepped forward and took over the task of defending Mo Xi.

In the final two minutes, the Knicks led the Lakers by three points at 87-84.

The Lakers took the lead and started to attack.

Kobe and Payton made a hand-to-hand cooperation on the outside, and then Kobe Bryant held the ball to face Williams, who hurriedly changed defenses, and directly passed the opponent and came to the free throw line.

That's when Sprewell switched back again.

Kobe Bryant came to a scrambled stop, and Sprewell was completely thrown off by Kobe Bryant after losing his first move.

But Bryant's current position and space were no longer enough for him to make a pull-up jump shot, and Bryant had to fight hard to face the Knicks' twin towers defense.

Accelerating again, the two calves were filled with power, and Kobe Bryant soared into the air to meet the Knicks inside.

Mo Xi glanced at the two Lakers players under the basket and took a step back, leaving only Ratliff alone to defend the basket.

Bryant tucked the ball between his waist and abdomen, intending to drift away from Ratliff before hitting a layup on a pull-up rod.

Kobe's whole set of moves was smooth and beautiful, but just as he opened his arm, a big dark hand fell from the sky and slapped the basketball in Kobe's hand.

Bryant was blocked.

The rebound was picked up by Sprewell in the back, and the Knicks turned around and started a fast break.

At this time, another weakness of the Lakers' lineup began to be revealed, the personnel were aging, the speed was too slow, and they were so helpless in the face of fast breaks, especially the fast breaks trained by George Karl.

Williams received a pass from Sprewell, and then a diagonal long-distance transfer directly found Houston, who received the ball and chased the three-pointer.

hit, and the Knicks directly stretched the score to six points.

In a hurry, the Lakers' offense seemed a little restless, and the Knicks' strategically deep defensive front gave the Lakers a stuffy stick.

The offense can't open the situation, but as long as the Lakers can stabilize and block the Knicks' offense, the Lakers still have hope of winning.

But at this time, Mo Xi once again showed his significance as an FMVP in the finals.

Catch the ball, turn your back, and stop and throw.

Dribble, step back, feint shots.

"Bang Bang Bang"

At the critical moment, Mo Xi ate three times in a row, and actually opened the score to ten points, 96:86.

The Angelenos still lost the battle of the century after all, and the New Yorkers celebrated wildly as if they had won the championship.

Mo Xi played 40 minutes, 40 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and O'Neal and Malone combined did not be much better than Mo Xi.

After this fight, people have much less panic because of F4, because now there is a new big terror, the New York Knicks, who have won 11 in a row.
