Chapter 51: The Big Dream of Fighting

Whether it's Ewing or Olajuwon, both of them are veterans through and through, and the era of jumping up and down on the court for 40 minutes like in the past is gone, and the two only play five or six minutes per quarter, and the expected exchange with Olajuwon never came. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With four minutes left in the first half, Mo Xi came on again.

Mo Xi came to the center position, and opposite him was the Rockets' backup center Carlos, although he was a substitute, but because Olajuwon was often injured this season, he was another kind of starting center worthy of the name.

After Mo Xi came on the court, he got a scoring opportunity, Charles handed the ball to Mo Xi, and now among the people on the court, the Knicks' most outstanding scoring ability is except for Sprewell.

Mo Xi did not be greedy after receiving the ball, he first passed the ball diagonally to Sprewell, and at the same time lifted himself up, to the free throw line to the next position, at this time Sprewell just broke through with the ball, because of Mo Xi's movement, Carlos also began to lift up, but when he came up, he was catching up with Sprewell's breakthrough, and hesitating, he gave up Mo Xi and directly wrapped Sprewell from the side.

But as if he had expected it, Sprewell shook his hand and passed it directly to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi received the ball and shot, without hesitation, in one go, Mo Xi's shooting arc is very high, although the shooting speed is a little slow, but fortunately, it has the advantage of height and arm span, and is not too afraid of being taken off by others.

After Ewing came back, he taught Mo Xi's shooting the most, "No matter what you do, just shoot, more than a thousand shots, how can you shoot 500!" ”

In fact, Ewing is like this, he has been praised as the core of the team since he first entered the league, and he does have two brushes who dare to do this, otherwise why do you think Yang Shaoxia couldn't sit in the starting position for so long.

But at least, Mo Xi still listened to some Ewing advice, at least he no longer hesitated to make a move, even if it was good not to enter. Now Mo Xi is still too young, but fortunately, there are many veterans around him, who have fought for New York, shed blood for New York, and played in the finals for New York, as long as the juniors are studious, they are still willing to teach, in Ewing's view, the confidence to shoot is more important than anything else, even if you don't enter.

The Rockets dropped another two points, and in the first three quarters, the Knicks were always in full swing.

The Rockets began to fight back, and now on the court, the Rockets' backcourt two shots are all on the court, Francis and Mobley. At this time, these two have not expected to become the twin duo that will cause headaches for many backcourts in the league at this time, but the strength of these two is not to be underestimated now.

At the beginning of this game, Sprewell was beaten twice by Mobley because he despised Mobley, who was opposite him, and even in a fast break, Sprewell was directly chased by Mobley's small fast legs and stole the ball, he didn't dare to underestimate the other party.

Now the scoring point on the Rockets is obvious, it's the two six-foot-and-four-inch guards on the outcourt, the two of them teaming up to try to speed up the game, and no one wants to play at a dead slow pace like the Knicks, except, of course, the Heat or the Spurs.

In Francis's tactics, the quick-paced approach is a dragon rushing in and folding a lever in the air for a layup.

Of course, when the success rate of slowing down the pace is also a dragon rushing in, folding the lever in the air and making a layup.

When it came time to grab points in the fourth quarter, where was the need to shoot outside, I still went in with a dragon and folded the lever in the air for a layup.

And that's just a first-year rookie.

It was the first time he had played against him, but there was a familiar feeling, his style of play was somewhat similar to Iverson's, although it was still very different, but that kind of indomitable momentum was most similar to the courage to rush into the penalty area and fight a group of seven-foot men.

The young Francis is extremely explosive, Charles has no way to start, Francis continues to crotch, and then a large crossover, Charles is a trick, so he is not shaken down, but when he gets up, Francis has already hit the inside.

The league only officially introduced joint defense in 01-02, and created the rule of three seconds of defense for its own characteristics, that is, there is still no defense of three seconds, and Francis will face a group of strong men of the Knicks when he enters the interior.

But Francis has the advantage of being very physical.

Francis jumped straight up, and Mo Xi and Camby raised their arms and stood side by side to block. Francis may be able to try and score by throwing a throw, but he's not so arrogant after all, and he passes the ball directly to Mobley in the bottom corner.

This ball is in place, because of the size problem, Mobley has not been able to get the ball for a long time to the serious Sprewell, this time Mobley took the opportunity of Sprewell's attention to be divided a little by the inside, forced to use his speed to shake off the opponent, and came to the bottom corner to receive Francis's pass.

However, Sprewell's defense was so good that he just missed the short moment and immediately flew in and Mobley lost his shot. Mobley is an excellent cold arrow three-pointer, but because of his height, he can only be a cold arrow three-pointer, and because of this, he has also developed a good hand in other areas, such as cross-passing.

Mobley's large dribble, just a moment, made Sprewell involuntarily take a step back, Mobley instantly exerted force, started, changed direction past Sprewell, and also killed under the basket.

At this time, it can be seen that the Rockets' current backcourt double guns are still a little inexperienced, and now the Knicks' defense is almost focused on the inside, and Mobley seems a little unwise to hit the basket again. Obviously, Mobley also seemed to realize this, and he saw that Mo Xi and Camby on the other side did not move, waiting for Mobley to rush in, in that case, this round of rocket attack will end in nothing.

Mobley kicked his legs and instantly exerted force, directly taking a large step back and making a jump shot.

After a summer of practice, Mobley has really mastered a lot of practical skills.

The Rockets pulled back two points.

The Knicks attacked again, with the experience of the previous round, the Knicks played very decisively in this round, and directly began to combine inside and outside, Charles hoisted the ball to Moxi, and Moxi pushed it inward, and his position was the place where Ewing and Olajuwon solo were before, and this is also where Moxi likes more. But Moxi didn't force the attack, and Sprewell ran out of position, he got rid of Mobley and came to the top of Moxi, who passed the ball straight over.

However, both Mo Xi and Spreville underestimated Mobley's ability, although Mobley's defense is often broken because of his height, but this does not mean that Mobley's defensive ability is not good. Mobley suddenly broke out, forced to step forward to take the lead, Sprewell was robbed of half of his body, he could only barely catch the ball, the opportunity was lost, and the ball was almost lost, Sprewell reluctantly passed the ball back to Mobril with the tips of his fingers, and then ran out, taking Mobley away.

Mo Xi received the ball again, at this time, he suddenly had an idea, took a step towards the bottom line, and then leaned on the opponent with his left elbow, suddenly pulled in reverse, walked on the line and turned around, directly squeezed Carlos away, and went straight to the basket.

Supplementing the defense under the basket is the Rockets' bench forward Kenny Thomas, only in terms of size, he is more than a lap smaller than Mo Xi, but he is a very tough player, with his chest directly to Mo Xi, although he was overturned by Mo Xi, but for Carlos to win the opportunity to follow. Carlos finally returned to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi suddenly turned his body to the other party, and then raised his right hand slightly, and glanced up at the basket.

Seeing this, Carlos was a little nervous, if Mo Xi wanted to hook his hand in this position, he couldn't prevent it, so he hurriedly pressed his whole body to half of Mo Xi's body.

Mo Xi felt the pressure from his side, and directly arched his butt to squeeze Carlos away, and at the same time directly turned over, away from the basket, and leaned back to shoot.

Carlos was squeezed into a bit of a shaky footing and couldn't step forward to defend at the first time, and Mo Xi scored this goal easily.

Counting the four points of Moxi, the Knicks have a lot of internal firepower today, Ewing, Johnson, Moxi, Thomas, and even Camby, five people took turns to play, and they had already scored 30 points on the inside of the Rockets, at this time, the Knicks only scored a total of 48 points, and the other eighteen points were cut by Houston and Sprewell together. It can be said that the Rockets' current interior line is full of holes, whether it is Olajuwon or Barkley, they are no longer in style.

Off the field, Tom Jakovic looked at Olajuwon and cast an inquiring glance at him, just now Mo Xi's goal, he actually saw a trace of Olajuwon's shadow back then, but Mo Xi's footsteps were not mellow enough, but a little more murderous.

Olajuwon sneered, got up and walked to the court, and said to Tom Jakovic: "Don't worry, I will educate him, I will tell him what a center striker is." ”

The Rockets take a timeout, and Olajuwon returns to the court.

With this white No. 34 coming to his side, Mo Xi actually felt a wave of heat, as if a sun was scorching himself, this is the will to fight that belongs to a strong man, Olajuwon burns each of his opponents with his desire to win and his passion for basketball.

Olajuwon stared at Mo Xi, suddenly smiled, and said, "Boy, do you think those few shoddy steps make you feel good?" ”

Mo Xi was stunned, is this a declaration to single himself?

Suddenly, Olajuwon suddenly pushed Mo Xi back, and he suddenly asked for the ball, he held the ball in one hand, faced Mo Xi sideways, and said: "Then, come and pay the tuition now, for the sake of you being Ewing's junior, I will charge you double the tuition." ”

Olajuwon broke through to the inside line directly against the ink pity.

Mo Xi was not afraid, he knew that he couldn't prevent Olajuwon with his own ability, so he simply used his body to interfere with the opponent, he forcibly leaned on Olajuwon with his body, so that the opponent's dribbling was not so smooth.

Olajuwon is too old to compete with young people, and when he is still three or four meters away from the basket, Olajuwon suddenly stops, then turns outward, looks up, and leans back.

Mo Xi stepped forward and inserted it between Olajuwon's feet and pushed it up.

But Olajuwon didn't see any kind of defense, and he turned around and went back half a position.

Mo Xi waited there early, as if he had expected it, only to see Olajuwon move forward, push again, retract his other foot from the side in front of him, and raise his head again, while raising his hands in the air.

Mo Xi didn't understand how Olajuwon shook out of the space of this step at all, and hurriedly jumped up, but saw Olajuwon suddenly take the ball back, turned around and went back, jumped against Mo Xi's body, and shot.

2+1 scored.

At the time of the free throw, Mo Xi was a little stunned, he was still reminiscing about the goal of Olajuwon just now, he thought it was very interesting, can he use it too?

Soon, Mo Xi got a chance to try, and when there was less than a minute left in the half, Mo Xi asked for the ball directly in the low post under the basket, and singled Olajuwon, at this time Mo Xi wanted a deep position, although he faced Olajuwon, but Charles still happily handed the ball to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi used his back to block Olajuwon strongly, his feet changed, Sigma turned around, turned into a face frame attack, he did not hesitate, the pitcher was about to shoot.

Olajuwon looked at each other coldly, in his experience, he easily saw that Mo Xi's ball was just a feint, sure enough, Mo Xi still took the ball back halfway, seeing that Olajuwon was unmoved, a little embarrassed, but he didn't give up at all, the pivot foot remained the same, and once he turned around, he turned his back again, and his body suddenly turned outward, turned directly to the bottom line, and leaned back to shoot, this ball is actually a feint, whether it is Olajuwon or Mo Xi is clear, but Olajuwon knows better, this is a good time to defend, He stepped forward, and instead of blocking it, he cut straight to the ball in Mo Xi's hand.

Mo Xi was a little caught off guard, and as soon as the strength of his waist was sent, he almost lost the ball, but Mo Xi gritted his teeth and turned back, jumping directly out of his hand, and at the same time his body moved sideways in the air.

Olajuwon rushed to defend, but he found that Mo Xi was getting farther and farther away from him.

Mo Xi used a small folding motion, floated across the basket, and made a layup.

Olajuwon was enraged after the goal, and it's hard to say whether he's angry with himself or angry, but in short, he's angry now. Next, he forced the ball and singled it out.

This time, Olajuwon seemed to be back to his prime, turning around, breaking through, turning again, coming in the opposite direction, and then turning back to the original position.

Olajuwon hit and the Rockets trailed the Knicks by just one point.

But then, to the surprise of many people.

Turning his back to break through, turning around again, turning back in the opposite direction, turning back to the original position, and the movements in his hands, Mo Xi almost perfectly copied Olajuwon's offensive skills, and at this time, when the angry Olajuwon thought that Mo Xi would definitely use the basket to score this goal to humiliate him, he jumped up directly, and then found that Mo Xi was looking at him with surprised eyes.

"Oh no," Olajuwon said secretly, he was shaken up.

Mo Xi didn't stick it up to make a foul, because of this kind of duel, the referee generally won't give him a whistle, Mo Xi half turned around, and his body hit Olajuwon, who was in the air, and then, a small hook under the basket.

Hit!

Mo Xi scored this goal in front of Olajuwon in the manner of Olajuwon!
