Chapter 104: The Heat Stops

The Lakers' goal was eventually accomplished, and Mo Xi missed the first shot in the fourth quarter.

Mo Xi still looked like before, asking for the ball in a low position, holding O'Neill with his back, and then chiseling inward, not relaxing under his feet, turning around and cutting into the inside line one and a half times, and the other half of his body was directly raised, with his arms directly raised, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and a familiar hook. However, Mo Xi frowned, the force of this shot was wrong, Mo Xi felt a little puzzled, there was no problem with his set of actions from beginning to end, but at the moment of shooting, he felt very wrong.

O'Neill also saw that there was a slight problem with Mo Xi's shot, and he was overjoyed, his goal was finally achieved, and the continuous high-intensity confrontation caused Mo Xi's physical strength to have a huge decline, which also made Mo Xi's hand feel problematic.

Mo Xi's hook hand spun around in the basket and rolled out.

O'Neal turned, withstood Moxie, and won the defensive rebound strongly.

The clarion call for the Lakers to fight back sounded.

O'Neal directly found Kobe Bryant with a long pass, Kobe Bryant pushed wildly, Sprewell and Houston chased closely behind, but found that everyone was getting farther and farther away, Kobe Bryant was like a gust of wind, and came directly to the Knicks' half, jumping, turning 180 ° in the air, Kobe Bryant performed a 180 ° back dunk in the finals.

Bryant's dunk drew a howl from the Lakers' bench, and white towels with the Lakers' logo waved in the air.

Kobe's dunk was based on the fact that the Lakers were relieved that Mo Xi finally missed the ball, and on the other hand, it was really morale-boosting to stage such a wonderful dunk in the Finals, so although the Knicks still had a double-digit point difference, the Lakers gradually became less impatient.

Mo Xi didn't believe in evil and wanted to do it again, but Ward, who came on as a substitute at this time, was very cooperative and passed the ball directly to Mo Xi.

This ball is asked for at forty-five degrees, and it is still the back of the starting hand to resist O'Neal and win space for himself.

Mo Xi dribbled the ball lightly, which made O'Neill breathe a little relieved, at least this time it was not the back of the ball, and he saw Mo Xi swaying from side to side, which seemed to be another feint.

O'Neal didn't dare to be careless, so he lowered his center of gravity to prevent Mo Xi from breaking out, and suddenly turned around and attacked the basket.

However, Mo Xi didn't mean to move to the basket at all, and after shaking left and right for a while, he decisively moved his right foot a little forward, dribbled the ball again, and then suddenly turned around and stepped back to make a jumper.

This ball is very difficult, although Mo Xi has been very good before this game, but now is not a good time to use it, for Mo Xi, the better choice should actually be a simple turnaround jumper.

However, Mo Xi seemed to have some unprecedented confidence now, only this time, he was overconfident.

The ball deflected, hit the basket directly, bounced twice, and finally went out.

Mo Xi's brows were tightly locked, it seemed that something was not easy to do.

The Lakers grabbed the defensive rebound again, but this time they couldn't play a fast-break counterattack, and the Knicks quickly returned to defense.

The Knicks quickly laid out a simple three-person defensive formation to block the impact of the Lakers, although it was simple, but in fact its defensive effect was exceptionally good, using the simplest way to stop the opponent, this is the Knicks.

The Lakers had to hold their rhythm and wait for O'Neal to come over and fall into the ground to attack.

O'Neill and Mo Xi are teaming up, and another showdown is about to begin.

As if sensing Mo Xi's exhaustion, O'Neill directly and rudely started a new round of strong push on his back to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi snorted, the consumption of physical strength made him unable to withstand O'Neal's strong beating on the defensive end, this time, Mo Xi actually took a whole step back, and the two of them played against each other in the finals this time, it was the first time that such a situation occurred.

O'Neill's spirit was shocked, in the end, Mo Xi is still just a person, not a god, he still has his own weaknesses, although he is a little unable to beat, but in comparison, it is still much better.

O'Neal made a strong top, waved his elbow, cut directly from the middle line to the inside line, and then used his shoulder to push Mo Xi away, and he burst into force and made a violent dunk out of thin air under the basket.

The Lakers' momentum is back completely.

Mo Xi gritted his teeth, intending to return the favor to O'Neal, but now he found that he was a little difficult to squeeze O'Neill, and had to rely more on his other skills to attack.

Mo Xi is another forty-five degree attack, he has tried it just now, and he can't squeeze O'Neal anymore, and he doesn't bother to test it again, knowing that his physical strength has dropped a little, and he must get closer to the basket. Mo Xi simply turned his back and cut to the basket from the baseline.

Mo Xi's turn did not shake off O'Neal, O'Neill followed the position of Mo Xi's body half a step in front of him.

In this position, O'Neill could easily block any of Moxi's shots.

The pressure came to Mo Xi's side in an instant, which was really bad.

Murphy wanted to make another turn, but all he had left to move was above, and that was where O'Neill was.

Stop-and-go jump shot, Mo Xi seems to have only one option left.

But once Mo Xi stops now, it means that the signal light for the shot is on, and it is time for O'Neal to prepare to jump and block, and this is a little different from Mo Xi's offensive thinking of approaching the basket at the beginning.

However, Mo Xi still intends to force the inside, and the Knicks now need him to continue scoring, at least so that he can't lose in momentum.

Mo Xi continued to rush forward, and now he collided directly with O'Neal, the two giants collided straight, and the two people who were in the reasonable collision area were not worried about any foul problems, that is, the pure body and small skills of the fight.

The upper bodies of the two men collided and they both fell backwards, but their arms were still raised high.

One wants to shoot the ball as high as possible, and the other tries to block it as much as possible.

O'Neal didn't touch this ball in the end, but Moxi's ball seemed to be a little soft and didn't seem to have much strength.

The basketball went over O'Neal's head and began to fall slowly, first hitting the basket, then bouncing high, then bouncing off the back edge, spinning on the other side, and then falling into the basket.

The Knicks finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Van Gundy still made a quick decision and put Mo Xi down first, Mo Xi's current state is not good, anyway, the Knicks still have some advantages, so simply let Mo Xi rest first, and then play in the last six minutes of the decisive battle, as for these three minutes, Van Gundy believes that even if Ewing is old, but the experience and vision as a super center are still there.

The Knicks had to shrink down a bit.
