Chapter 4 How about a shot
In the first game of the season, everyone wanted to get off to a good start. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 It seems that the Cavaliers really carefully studied the lineup that the Knicks might send, and really listened to the advice of the Cleveland media, and actually put Kemp directly at the center position, trying to crush Mo Xi with his physical advantage.
When Mo Xi stood on the playing field, everyone was in a very weird state, who is this thing, have I seen him?
I have to say that after a summer of training, the ink regret at this moment is really reminiscent of the weak scholar with a face of "I am a doctor" last season.
The opposite camp did not have a photo of Mo Xi last season, as a person who has hated the gang leader, camp felt that his rank was high enough, raised his head and squinted his eyes at Mo Xi, and said: "Hey, rookie, I heard that you were beaten and cried?" ”
Mo Xi smiled and said, "Really? I'm curious though, I don't seem to have seen you five months ago. ”
Camp frowned and said, "Boy, you weren't born when I played in the finals!" ”
Mo Xi continued, "Oh, that's right, old man. ”
Mo Xi's changes are not only reflected in his body, Mo Xi now has some faint precursors of schizophrenia, and he is almost two people on the court and off the court.
Kemp stared at Mo Xi with interest and said, "I hope you can do the same when you get to Seattle." ”
Kemp is talking about his former partner Gary "The Gloves" Payton, another trash-talk guru in the league who beat Kidd to tears.
Mo Xi ignored Camp this time and walked straight to the tee off in the center circle.
Kemp's physicality is immense, and he was synonymous with talent before Garnett. However, when jumping the ball, Camp had to face the reality that Mo Xi was two inches taller than him, and his arm span was longer than him.
The Knicks quickly attacked. As a defensive team, his fast break is definitely a nightmare for many teams, and the fast transition between offense and defense is estimated to be comparable to only the Spurs.
Ward received the ball, quickly passed through the halfcourt, and as soon as he crossed the halfway line, he quickly passed the ball to Houston, who was on standby at 45 degrees. After Houston received the ball, it directly attracted the attention of the Cavaliers who had not had time to fall into the position, perhaps because the reputation of the mid-pitcher king was too famous, and it instantly attracted the defense of two people, and at this time, Sprewell was empty.
Houston hit the ball quickly to Sprewell, who rounded his arm and gave the first goal at Madison Square Garden. Sprewell's windmill slammed down.
The goal was scored, and the audience cheered, as if people saw the New York Knicks full of miracles in the playoffs again.
The unwilling Cavaliers handed the first ball to Kemp to play. In fact, Kemp's greatest power is to catch the ball in the pick-and-roll, and the overall style is like Xiao Si in the Suns. But when it comes to positional warfare, Camp's back-to-back push is not so strong, and there is only a basket breakthrough and a mid-range shot that is okay, which is a little less agile than Admiral Robinson, but it is really more violent.
Kemp received the ball with one hand and faced Mo on his side. The body can be trained in a summer, but the defense is not. In terms of individual defense, although Mo Xi has everything that an excellent defensive pillar should have, movement speed, height and arm span, he is too lacking in experience, even if he has a miraculous prediction to make up for it, but he is still unable to face these top interior lines.
Camp leaned on Mo Xi with half of his body, and with the recoil of the dribble, he was a heavy blow to Mo Xi.
Mo Xi ate Kemp's blow, and he didn't move at all, but in the end he missed the lead, although Kemp was also taken aback, but he quickly adjusted, and quickly cut inside by taking advantage of Mo Xi's forward force.
Mo Xi clinged closely, but Kemp was really fast enough, just a trace of space, and after two or three steps, he opened up a close step away from Mo Xi. Kemp grabbed the ball with both hands, slammed it down on the side, and then leaned back to the sky and howled.
Camp turned around, opened his arms to Mo Xi, and said, "Do you want a shot?" Gremlin. ”
Kemp's arrogance drew boos from the audience, and Johnson walked up directly and glared at Kemp.
Kemp is also intellectual, after all, in someone else's home field, he will accept it when he sees it and run to his own half.
According to New York's temper, how could this ball not be returned. It's true that the Knicks are a team, but it's also a team made of steel.
Mo Xi directly singled Kemp in the low post, and everyone pulled away, one, on, one.
This is the position slightly above the left baseline that Mo Xi is most familiar with, and there is a relatively good offensive line up and down. According to Mo Xi's past offensive methods, how to start has to start with a set of people and balls. Obviously, Camp didn't despise Mo Xi as he said, his lower body was backwards, and the triangular state of the whole person was against Mo Xi, making it difficult for him to turn around.
Mo Xi surprised many people's expectations this time, and did not make any unbelievable movements, but really gave Kemp a set of back-to-back pushes. In terms of weight, Camp has begun to gain some fortune at this time, and the weight difference between the two is almost the same. However, with his clever stump moves, Mo Xi forced Kemp back two steps, which shocked many people.
Kemp's retreat brought Mo Xi to a very comfortable position, where it was extremely easy to hook or shoot under the basket, throw or lick the basket.
But Mo Xi felt that this cannon was so uncomfortable. Mo Xi pushed hard again, pushed Kemp, turned upward, made a shooting motion, and Kemp flew up. Mo Xi quickly took the ball into his arms and jumped hard, and just as Camp fell, Mo Xi hit him with a volley in the head.
After Mo Xi landed, he said expressionlessly to Kemp, "Is it cool?" Baby. ”
Mo Xi's defense is indeed not good, but his offensive ability has also proven himself in the playoffs against three top defenders in the East. And coincidentally, don't look at the gang leader, Kemp is actually a big forward who is strong in attack and weak in defense.
The enraged Camp directly started a one-on-one duel with Mo Xi, in fact, Mo Xi is not qualified to play this kind of duel, after all, in this lineup, he can only be regarded as the fourth shooting point, and there is no difference from the fifth Ward.
However, Kemp's messy play disrupted the layout of the coaches on both sides, and while fighting, Mo Xi inexplicably became the first shot point, and he and Kemp exploded each other. Neither Houston nor Sprewell said anything, but were happy to see the situation happen, and in their opinion, this is an invitation to a man's duel, and the coach can't end it without stopping it.
This Kemp went inside against the ink and forced a layup.
Turning around, Mo Xi pressed Kemp to make a big hook.
After playing for a while, it was the Knicks who stopped first, not that Mo Xi couldn't beat Kemp, but in the eyes of an iron-blooded coach like Van Gundy, this kind of answerball is okay to play one or two, how can you do it more, not to mention that you are still a fledgling kid.
Halfway through the first quarter, Van Gundy replaced the somewhat inflated Mo Xi with Camby. With the previous confrontation with Kemp, Mo Xi has scored six points on three of five shots in this quarter.
When Mo Xi left the game, Kemp was very affectionate, patted Mo Xi's buttocks, and said, "Boy, I'm waiting for you to come up and have another shot." ”
