Just when the situation on the court was turning one-sided, someone on the Pacers' bench finally couldn't sit still.

Thirty-one threw down the towel on his head, got up from his chair, and didn't say hello to the coach, just dragged his thin body and limped towards the referee's seat.

"Miller ......"

The coach of the Pacers let out a helpless shout, since Bird's resignation, the position of coach of the Pacers has been like the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts in "Harry Potter", has been cursed, before that, Isaiah Thomas even worked as a coach in Indiana for two years, but he failed to produce any too dazzling results, and he still left, this time the firefighting coach that Bird found was not famous or particularly outstanding, It's just that he is following the path drawn by Bird, and the control of the locker room is even more pitiful, and it is not the first time that Reggie Miller has walked up to the court like this, but he can't do anything about it, so he can only let it go.

Reggie Miller privately looks down on his current coach, this coach is nothing but obedient, if Bird hadn't talked to him earlier, maybe this coach has been forced away by him now, but the boss still has to give face. For this game, he may be the one who wants to win the most in the entire Pacers, and now the star of the Pacers is actually O'Neal Jr., and Artest can also be counted as half, but whether it is Artest or O'Neal Jr., I am afraid that he does not have such a desire to win for the Knicks, there are not a few old friends left who fought with him in the East, and the people who have experienced the life-and-death battle with the Knicks are only two people, Kloesschild and Foster.

He wants to win, he wants to win this game, to prove that Reggie Miller is not old, he is still the king of killers who has seen his bloody throat, and to announce to everyone that he can still return to the killer he was in when he was in the Eastern Conference playoffs if necessary.

Reggie Miller is on the pitch.

When his No. 31 jersey appeared on the court, the atmosphere throughout Madison Square Garden was stagnant, and no matter how many years passed, the Reggie Miller who dared to make a throat-slitting ceremony here would remain the most notorious guy on the course.

The stagnant atmosphere only appeared for a moment, and then, Reggie Miller was greeted by an overwhelming boo, Miller didn't care, he raised his arms high, spread his hands up, as if enjoying a huge cheer, you know, even the god of basketball came here and couldn't get comparable treatment to him, this is his only "Miller moment".

The eyes of the three of Moxi, Houston and Sprewell narrowed, also as survivors of the big war that year, they clearly knew what kind of existence this man was, Sprewell was entangled by Artest, and Houston was the decisive result to defend Miller's heavy responsibility, from the moment Miller stepped on the court, he appeared by Miller's side, pulling Miller's jersey from time to time.

With Miller on the field, the game was carried out in a solemn atmosphere.

With four minutes and 16 seconds left in the first half, the Knicks led the Pacers by a wide margin of 19 points at 57:38.

Now, it's the Pacers who have the ball.

A whistle blew, the Pacers served in the backcourt, Tinsley advanced to the frontcourt and began to organize the offense, and it was not unreasonable for the Pacers to choose him as the only point guard in the first round, at least his organizational skills were not comparable to Arenas.

Tinsley and Artest made a block, but there was no cooperation between the two, and Tinsley just used Artest's cover to open up space for him to better observe the situation on the court.

Miller went straight to the basket and then suddenly a turnaround ran out of the box and back to the starting point, when Houston was nearly half a step away from him.

You can pass the ball!

But Tinsley just thought about it, but found that Houston had rushed out, took a lunge forward, and cut the passing route instead of blocking Miller's side, Tinsley's face changed, and he hurriedly collected the ball, but this time it also stopped him.

Regarding Miller's defensive problems, presumably the Knicks are the one who has the most voice, and George Carr's defense of Miller follows the Van Gundy set back then, which seems to be working well.

But at this time, Miller turned around again and went around Houston's back, but Miller's run did not end, he first ran two steps in the direction of Artest, and then turned back and withdrew directly outside the three-point line.

Houston clenched his teeth and followed closely, but Miller's last jump was a jump, and as soon as he turned around, Miller was already outside the three-point line.

Without thinking about it, Houston jumped straight and pounced.

Houston's judgment was not wrong, when Miller rushed out of the three-point line, Tinsley's pass also arrived, and Miller didn't even aim after receiving the ball, and just shot like this, just in time to shoot the ball before Houston flew over.

Houston glanced back in despair, and the basketball made a not-so-beautiful line in the air, and then went headlong into the basket.

Miller, begin his show.

The Knicks attacked, at this time Arenas was going to hang to Moxi, but his pass was too casual, Miller aimed at Moxi early, at the moment of Arenas's pass, Miller rushed to the front, grabbed the ball in front of Moxi, and then Miller threw the ball forward, found Tinsley, and he ran to the frontcourt, the Pacers fast attack.

The Knicks' return speed is absolutely top-notch, and Houston has never left Miller's side from finish to finish.

When it came to the three-point line, Houston subconsciously slowed down, yes, in the nose of a shooter, he keenly felt that Miller wanted to catch the ball here and shoot three points directly.

But people can't be too confident sometimes, and Houston is a little confused at the moment.

Although I don't know why Houston suddenly let him go, it didn't affect Miller's offense at all, Miller hit the basket directly, and at the same time, Tinsley's pass also arrived, and a hit to the ground, Miller received the ball and naturally raised his hand to make a layup.

But how could the Knicks' defense be all that? Mo Xi had already arrived at the horse.

Miller sneered, looking at the figure of Mo Xi rushing towards him, Miller jumped.

Seeing this, Mo Xi also took off.

But as soon as they flew together, Mo Xi regretted it, Miller's eyes were not looking at the basket, he was looking at himself.

As soon as the fit hit, Miller used his thin body to crash directly into Mo Xi.

"Drop~"

The referee's whistle blows, and the shooting foul is regretted.

Miller walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws.

The Knicks' offense this time was much more cautious, Arenas passed the ball to Sprewell, Sprewell broke through the ball to Wallace, Wallace and Houston passed the ball with a hand, and Houston came to the corner position and shot directly.

"Wow~", Houston's mid-range shot missed. However, Mo Xi struggled to the basket and pushed O'Neal Jr. to force a take-off.

With a loud bang of "bang~", Mo Xi successfully repaired the buckle.

Miller's eyes darkened, and it seemed that he still had to rely on three points to chase points.

The Pacers attacked again, this time Miller started to accelerate directly from his own backcourt, and Houston didn't dare to slack off all the way to follow.

There are now three classic running shooters in the league, Houston, Hamilton and Miller, and among them, Hamilton may be the best runner, but Miller is always the most difficult to defend. (At this time, Ray Allen was not injured, and he was still the same Ray Allen with deer-like legs, and he was not called a pure shooter)

Miller suddenly made a sudden stop, his body shook, and the whole person turned back violently and ran directly under the basket under the cover of Artest.

Houston was delayed by Artest's cover, and his feet couldn't help but speed up a few times, which barely caught up with Miller, but at this time Miller went to the basket and went directly behind Mo Xi, a V-shaped run, and ran to the three-point line on the other side.

Houston's momentum was too strong, and he barely turned around this time, but was blocked by his own center, and watched Miller come to the three-point line.

Realizing that he might be an accomplice, Mo Xi immediately took a step forward, and then jumped hard, and Mo Xi took off in an attempt to block Miller.

Miller received another pass when he was jumping, and this time he didn't choose to ignore Murphy's defense, dribbling to the side and taking a step back to avoid Murphy's interference, and Miller shot directly from outside the three-point line.

"Huh~"

Another three-pointer went into the net, and the Pacers kept chasing the score closer.

Arenas saw Miller shine on the court like this, and he also had some different emotions in his heart.

He can take his place!

After Arenas dribbled through the halfcourt, he directly blocked Wallace, who pulled directly outside the three-point line and emptied part of the interior defense for Arenas, and at the same time, Mo Xi also stuck O'Neal Jr. on the other side.

Seeing this, Arenas did not hesitate to go straight to the basket.

Arenas' offense was simple but decisive, but he still underestimated the Pacers.

Mo Xi failed to get stuck in Little O'Neal, Little O'Neill took a Mo Xi, and won half a step of space for himself, with this half-step space, Little O'Neill turned outward, and there was a big loop to bypass Mo Xi's card position, and at the same time, he jumped directly and pressed down with a palm by spinning.

Arenas was pressed to the ground along with the ball.

Arenas sat under the basket and looked blankly at everything in front of him, what had just happened?

Tinsley hurriedly picked up the rebound and passed it forward to Miller.

The Pacers were fast-breaking, and Miller once again took the lead and galloped out, dribbling alone past Houston, and then went straight to the basket.

George Karl's face is a little unsightly, where is the quality of the Knicks' return defense!

If it were the Knicks in the past, even if they had a big score advantage at the moment, they were hit by counterattacks and Miller's two three-pointers one after another, and they would have been cautiously walking on thin ice at this moment, but now, they have a coach named George Karl and a point guard named Arenas.

Arenas knows that he can be said to be at least half responsible for the goal just now, and Arenas, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, naturally does not intend to end like this, he wants to find the field in his own way.

At this time, Mo Xi was already in a good position in the low post, and at the same time, Wallace was also ambushed in the bottom corner on the other side, and the Knicks' double-low post tactics that had played a strong role for a while had been laid out.

But Arenas didn't choose to pass, his eyes were straight to the basket.

Mo Xi frowned, Arenas's offensive ability is very good, maybe in a few years, he will become the league's leading scorer, but now, in a championship team, Arenas's performance is not very good, or it should be said that in such a championship team, Arenas lacks the necessary tactical literacy, but he is Arenas again.

Arenas really deserves to be Arenas, he dribbled the ball for a while, and suddenly shot directly outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Tinsley was a little caught off guard, and in this regard, Arenas's shot selection was not too bad.

However, Arenas' shooting percentage was a little poor, and the ball slipped out after a lap in the basket.

Mo Xi and O'Neal Jr. were entangled under the basket, and Sprewell also rushed forward to grab the frontcourt rebound, but Artest also followed him to the inside, and for a while the basket was full of a bunch of muscle sticks, crowded and inserted.

With a wave of his hand, he shook off O'Neill's arm and stepped forward, blocking Artest's side.

Artest tried to use his power to push Mo Xi away, but it was too late, and the ball had already fallen.

Mo Xi grabbed the rebound in the front court, but Mo Xi's position at the moment was not good, and he couldn't shoot directly.

Dribbling, turning around, Mo Xi turned around to face the basket, adjusted, Mo Xi put the ball down on his waist, and was about to jump and dunk, but felt a strong wave of injury.

"Bang~", the ball flies.

It was Miller, who mysteriously appeared at Mo Xi's side and cut the ball off.

Miller raced over and took the ball into his own hands.

The Pacers had another chance to break fast.

But this time, the Knicks' return defense showed the status of the first in the East, and the Knicks five were already waiting in their own half early in the blink of an eye.

But Miller didn't pay attention to these five men, and he dribbled to the 45-degree three-point line on the left side.

Houston, Sprewell, and Moxie are a thriller.

It's not good, it's going to suffer!

The three of them started together, and the target was Miller, and Houston posted it directly.

In front of me are three big men, just like the scene of that summer, at that time, it was also here.

Reggie Miller jumped up and threw the ball out of his hand in his ugly position.

Reggie Miller ran to his backcourt without looking back, leaving only the shaky shadow of the white Nets and the shattered glasses of New York.

Miller exploded strongly in the final quarter of the second quarter, scoring 13 points in a row, but at halftime, the Pacers still trailed the Knicks 51-59, and the New Yorkers' proud faces were full of seriousness.
