With Mo Xi and Carter both dunking, the Christmas war also kicked off, as if a blizzard came in without warning, setting off a natural disaster indoors.

It's just that this natural disaster seems to be out of place with someone, and this person is still the Raptors, Vinson Carter.

Carter's face was gloomy, and for three rounds in a row, Carter failed to get a chance to shoot under Sprewell's "care", and teammate Antonio was also a little dumb under Thomas's care, but the point guard Alvin Williams, who had not been expected before, performed well, allowing the Raptors to barely hang the score.

Carter, who was anxious, simply chose to attack and forcibly pulled outside the three-point line, ready to single Sprewell.

As one of the league's top defensive guards, Sprewell doesn't know how many times he has to face this situation in one night, but he's used to it.

It's just that Carter's performance this time is a little too anxious, he still intends to use his too ordinary explosive power to force a step in front of Sprewell, such a simple and rough way of passing many people feel that there is no technology, but in fact, the purpose of passing is to get rid of the defender, and its basic core is to be faster than the other party, no matter who it is, the owners of the four quarterbacks who have not yet played the famous quarterbacks, North Carolina South Mai, West Codonai, no matter how gorgeous their actions are, in the final analysis, It's all because they're one step ahead of others. Even the legendary AI crossover, Maddie's back dribble and turnaround jumper, the ultimate goal of the action is to be one step faster than others.

Carter still underestimated Sprewell's strength a little at this time, although Carter was fast enough to break through for the first time, but it was not because Sprewell's body had not completely let go at the beginning of the game.

Carter's first step was directly blocked by Sprewell, Carter made a mistake and almost lost the ball, Sprewell saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to dig it, Carter staggered to protect the ball, looking for an offensive opportunity again.

Carter, who had wasted five or six seconds, started to attack again, and this time he was much more steady, cross-dribbling, and a large change of direction in a row, and Maddie was worthy of being the brother of the same mother, Carter suddenly changed direction, from the left hand side of Sprewell to the basket.

Sprewell was forced to take half a step back, but at this time Thomas quietly stepped forward and was blocking Carter's breakthrough lane without giving the opponent a pass to Antonio's line.

Seeing this, Antonio hurriedly pulled out, but it seemed too late, Carter was caught between Sprewell and Thomas, and Carter made a quick jump shot and popped out of the frame.

Fortunately, at this time, Montrose suddenly appeared, and stole the frontcourt rebound when Mo Xi's attention was shifted to Carter, who was clamped, but at this time he couldn't make any moves, relying on himself under the basket, and directly basketed Kiki to shoot with his hand.

At this time, Mo Xi also reacted, rebounding is not his forte, but he still has a little strength in defense under the basket, he pounced on it with both hands, and Montrose was firmly covered by Mo Xi under the control area.

Montrose couldn't make a shot, the ball flew straight up, didn't even touch the frame, it fell, Thomas behind him stepped forward to pick up the rebound, and the Knicks turned around and started to attack.

Because Montrose was unable to effectively limit the play of Moxi, which led to the successful hooking up of the inside and outside lines, the Knicks blossomed inside and out, Sprewell and Houston hit three-pointers one after another, Mark Jackson can always pass the ball to the one who needs it at just the right time, and the Raptors seem to be a little confused about the team's outside defense under the high-quality cover of the Knicks, and they don't know what to do.

This is also the biggest problem of a semi-rebuilt team like the Raptors, although it is also considered to have a run-in period of about a year, but compared to the Knicks, a system that has been formed for many years, and this system is completely replaced without changing the operation, the two can be described as dwarfed.

The score is about to open again, and Carter must respond, but this time although he managed to run out of an open spot outside the three-point line and get rid of Sprewell's harassment, the change in mentality made him a little anxious, and the shot was a little big.

“bang~”

The ball bounced out of the frame and jumped high.

This time, Mo Xi was not polite, squeezed Montrose, directly pulled the rebound down, pressed the ball tightly to his chest with both hands, and after landing, a small long pass was given to Mark Jackson, Jackson moved forward quickly, but his speed was a little slow, and the Raptors returned.

But Jackson didn't care at all, stopped leisurely outside the three-point line, and then turned to the side, vigorously passed the ball out, and the ball "swooped" into the hands of Houston, who adjusted outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot directly.

The white Nets made a wave, this is already Houston's eight points in this quarter, this quarter of the game, the Knicks only three people scored, Sprewell, Houston and Moxi, but with Mark Jackson's pass, the Knicks' offense was actually completely open.

Twelve points, the Knicks are already twelve points ahead of the opponent, and what is even more terrifying is that only eight minutes have passed in the first quarter, and the Knicks have relied on four consecutive three-pointers to directly open the score.

The Raptors, on the other hand, have only scored 8 points so far, which makes it hard to feel that the two teams met in the playoffs last season ended up winning the Raptors.

Carter has not been able to have a bright performance in the first quarter, he really wants to stand up and save the team at this moment, but the Knicks' defensive system is too good, with him alone can't tear up such a defense, I don't know why, at this moment, Carter misses his cousin a little.

Carter failed to attack twice in a row, but fortunately, Alvin hit a three-pointer at a critical moment to make the Raptors score a double-double, otherwise, the morale of the Raptors would be unusually low.

With about two minutes left in the game, Mo Xi stopped playing in the low post and planned to play another one at the end of the first quarter.

Mo Xi received the ball at the horn position, still in a state of back to the back, shook it left and right, and then rose up and set the top hard. After feeling the power of the other party's feedback, Mo Xi immediately activated.

Mo Xi turned a Sigma step into a front basket, which was completely a subconscious judgment, Mo Xi didn't even make a feint, and went directly to the right side from the middle line to the Raptors restricted area.

Montrose was a full beat slower, and it was too late for him to turn back and make up for it.

Gritting his teeth, Montrose followed, holding out a sinful hand behind Mo Xi.

Montrose stretched out his hand in vain, but only grabbed Moxi's clothes, and Moxi pushed directly under the basket, no matter what Montrose was dragging on, only to see Moxi take Montenos and force a dunk under the basket.

hit, and at the same time get a chance to add a penalty.

With Murphy's free throws, the Knicks' lead was already there. Fifteen points.

The Raptors coach hurriedly called a timeout.

But in the face of absolute strength, the Raptors had no power to fight back.

At the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks were 30:15, and the New York three-core performed unexpectedly well. Mo Xi even cut down a strong performance of eleven points, five rebounds and three assists.

The Raptors were in crisis right from the start.
