Chapter 199: The King Crowns Himself

The last half minute, the crazy half minute, dead or alive, life hangs by a thread.

The wheel of fate began to turn, Mo Xi walked to the front of the turntable with a small steel ball in his hand, the turntable in front of him was spinning faster and faster, no one could stop this turntable, Mo Xi stood in front of the turntable that decided his fate.

This wheel decides not only his fate, but Duncan's, the Knicks, and New York, but at the end of the day, it's the roulette wheel that decides his fate.

George Karl hesitated, or called this timeout, admittedly, at the moment Kerr is on the court, the old Kerr can easily become the Spurs' biggest weakness, but many things are not counted like this, although Ward on the Knicks' side is good defensively, but what the Knicks need now is offense, Ward is the first batch of 3D players, but at this moment, his role is by no means as big as Mark Jackson or Arenas.

Once again, George Karl opted for a gamble and he brought on Arenas for Ward. George Karl was betting that Popovich would think he would still play Mark Jackson with the same guardless lineup he had before.

When the whistle blew, George Karl almost jumped up, he won Popovich, and in this set-up, he won Popovich! Popovich really used the defensive lineup that didn't have a No. 1 position.

Popovich was obviously aware of his mistake, but now that the player was on the field, it was difficult for him to change his decision, and in order to make up for his mistake, Popovich forced on-the-spot adjustments.

"Transposition! Manu, you go to the No. 1 position to defend, Stephen you go to defend Spreville, Bowen you go to Houston! ”

Popovich couldn't take much of it, and he yelled loudly on the sidelines, passing on his latest knowledge to everyone at the Spurs, hoping to reduce the vulnerability of the Spurs due to layout mistakes.

However, Popovich seems to be thinking too much, and the Knicks' offense has nothing to do with the outside, at least for now.

The Knicks served in the half, with 24 seconds left, and the Knicks only had 18 seconds left on offense.

The Spurs' lineup, because of the advantage of size, occupies a great advantage, the Spurs with longer limbs effectively interfere with the Knicks' serve, George Karl has no timeout in his hands, and the Knicks must solve the problem on the court by themselves.

Rashid Wallace faced David Robinson's blockade, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his head, and he was anxious, is it three seconds or four seconds now? He ran out of time!

Simply, Rashid Wallace was ruthless, picked up the ball in his hand and threw it out, directly on David Robinson's shoulder, Wallace quickly dodged, and the ball popped out of bounds again.

Rasheed Wallace's rush allowed the Knicks to escape briefly.

No, it can't be said that it was an escape, it can only be said that it relieved the Knicks, and the Spurs' hand is still stuck in the Knicks' neck.

Rasheed Wallace re-serves.

This time the Knicks had experience, their run was faster, the line was more bizarre, and even Mo Xi spontaneously ran out to catch the ball.

Rashid Wallace quickly found his target, Spreville looked like he was entangled with Stephen Jackson, but in reality, the two were really just twisted together as they seemed, Sprewell was faked by Stephen Jackson, Sprewell was safe, he could catch the ball!

Spreyville glanced at Rasheed Wallace before swooping out of Stephen Jackson's arms and twisting away, instead of opting for a wider wing and top of the arc, he followed the three-point line to the side near the bottom corner.

Rasheed Wallace passes.

Sprewell took the ball with a sleek turn, then leaned forward in a tentative stance.

Seeing this, Stephen Jackson, who forced to defend himself, hurriedly pushed back, worried about Sprewell's breakthrough, Sprewell's shooting is good, but it is far from Houston's degree, and he is not a good projection player.

But this seems to be the end of Sprewell's tentative step, he didn't follow any more movements, in fact, he didn't need to do anything, his tentative step was really just a tentative step, he was just trying to make a space, a space for him to pass the ball.

Sprewell's dismissal of the bottom line.

Mo Xi's position this time is not very good, but it is not too bad, there are still two steps away from the three-point line, and the position is relatively deep, but Mo Xi is too close to the baseline, and there is almost no room for return on the baseline, and his choice of offensive route will be a little monotonous.

Mo Xi resisted Duncan, making sure that he had already sat down on Duncan and would not be removed from his chair, Mo Xi began to attack, and began this attack that affected everyone.

The Knicks gave up the right to make the last offense, so Moxi's offense seemed slow, and he looked so hard trying to spend as much time as possible.

First, he suddenly turned around when he was nearly five seconds old, and then he didn't even dribble a few times and then spun back, and the time was re-timed in five seconds.

Duncan was embarrassed by the operation, but his expression was still very calm, quite a bit of a matter of concern.

But Mo Xi didn't dare to underestimate the guy in front of him, even O'Neill was cleaned up by this guy, how dare Mo Xi underestimate him?

Mo Xi began to exert his strength.

Mo Xi suddenly exerted his strength, and the powerful explosive power brought by the boxing learning was revealed at this moment, using the amazing explosive power of the first time, Mo Xi pushed Duncan away from his body in an instant, in order to prevent being blown into the offensive foul, Mo Xi also deliberately controlled the action.

When Mo Xi felt that the defense behind him was a little loose, he didn't immediately lower his head to attack, he first made a feint and shook it in the direction of the bottom line.

Although Duncan knew that there was no way out of the bottom line, he couldn't help but shake his shoulders when he saw Mo Xi's movements, and the pressure Mo Xi brought him was too great.

After Mo Xi shook slightly, he suddenly turned around, pulled his body directly, and turned around in reverse.

It's a really offensive move.

Duncan reacted immediately, and he quickly moved his footsteps and stuck to it.

After feeling the defense from Duncan, Mo Xi changed his attack again, he pushed his shoulder, and forced the change from facing Duncan to facing Duncan sideways.

Mo Xi began to draw an arc movement with the basket as the center of the circle.

Big hook hands!

Duncan immediately judged Moxi's offensive options. In the face of the big hook, unless it is a clip, Duncan has nothing too good to do if he is alone, he can only try his best to disrupt the rhythm of Mo Xi's pace first.

Duncan forced his way into Moxi's offensive line, trying to make Moxi's footsteps move out of order.

But Mo Xi continued to march as if he was not affected in the slightest.

The two men walked side by side to the basket.

This is it!

Duncan's eyes lit up, this is where the winner lies!

Mo Xi suddenly stopped, and another one was pushed against Duncan's chest.

As a last resort, Duncan took a step back, taking this opportunity, Mo Xi did not choose to make a move, but turned half of his body back.

This half-turned effort, Duncan posted it again.

But what made Duncan feel awkward was that Mo Xi didn't hook his hand, he didn't even make a shot, Mo Xi actually chose to pass!

Houston receives a pass from outside the three-point line.

As the Knicks' most accurate shooter and the captain of the Knicks, it is not a mistake for Houston to execute the final blow, but the person who defends Houston at the moment is Bruce Bowen!

Bowen's defense was so brilliant that he didn't block Houston's catches, but when Houston was about to shoot, he showed his defensive prowess.

Bowen quietly approached Houston, and his lower body quietly went up, between Houston's legs, which made Houston extremely uncomfortable, and Bruce Bowen also directly blocked his hand in Houston's face.

Suffocating defense!

But Houston had no choice, he still shot, but when he did, he realized that something was wrong and he went wrong.

On the court, there was more than one person who realized that Houston's shot was off, and Duncan, Ginobili, and Mo Xi could all see that this was by no means a good shot.

Mo Xi's heart tightened, he had to do something.

Turning around again, he took the left half of the position, and the ball was biased to the left, but I just didn't know if it was a long rebound or just a short rebound.

"Dangchang~"

The basketball smashed on the basket, bounced again, and then fell out.

Short rebounds!

Mo Xi and Duncan stepped forward together.

This rebound is more important than life.

One arm pushed the other person's body hard, and the other arm was on the waist, ready to pick up the rebound at any time, Mo Xi and Duncan's preparation posture was almost identical, when the two of them jumped, it seemed to be the same, but in the air, Duncan realized that he underestimated Mo Xi.

Mo Xi is not grabbing rebounds, he is trying to make up baskets.

The rebound in the finals, Olajuwon did to O'Neal back then is still vivid, is it going to be staged again today?

Mo Xi's hand was the first to point on the basketball, and Duncan could only reach out in vain, watching Mo Xi gently point the ball in the direction of the basket.

The basketball fluttered past Duncan's fingertips and flew full.

Watching the basketball fly in front of his eyes, Duncan chuckled in his heart, he always had a bad premonition.

In fact, not only Duncan, but also the other Spurs players on the court, Popovich and the bench off the court, plus the Spurs fans in the entire stadium, all had an ominous thought rising in their hearts.

"Smack~"

Basketball into the net!

It was as if San Antonio had just experienced a volcanic eruption, and everyone was at a loss for a moment.

What am I going to do?

What are we going to do?

What to do with the San Antonio Spurs?

Duncan swallowed a stream of saliva in his throat, and he tensed.

The Spurs still have 4.7 seconds to attack, but it was a baseline goal and the Spurs did not take a timeout.

4.7 seconds, the offense that runs through the whole court, which is not very easy to deal with even in Nelson's team, not to mention that this is the Spurs.

Spurs were disciplined enough that they didn't give up even in the face of such a crisis.

Look for Parker with the tailwind, look at Duncan against the wind, and find Ginobili in a desperate situation.

Although this sentence has not yet been formed at this time, Spurs have already had a tendency to develop in this direction.

David Robinson served quickly and found Ginobili directly.

Ginobili catches the ball and turns around with 3.9 seconds left.

Ginobili suddenly noticed something and threw the ball forward.

In that direction, it's Duncan!

Duncan appeared in the Knicks' backcourt!

However, Mo Xi is also ......

Duncan catches the ball from beyond the three-point line with 3 seconds left. He didn't have time to adjust, so he just dribbled and rushed to the three-point line.

Duncan doesn't like to gamble, preferring to keep things under his control, and at least a fairly stable mid-range shot is more realistic than an ethereal three-point shot.

With 2.1 seconds left, Duncan came to the position of one step inside the three-point line, he took another step forward, and then, made a sharp stop, jumped, and shot.

With Duncan's pull-up jumper, Mo Xi jumped too.

There are 1.7 seconds left.

Mo Xi raised his arm, his expression was so focused at the moment, he knew that in order to win, he had to forget about victory at this moment, victory or defeat was no longer in his mind, and there was only one thing he had to do now, to stop Duncan's shot.

Nothing else.

Mo Xi stretched out his hand, the green jade-like palm shone brightly in the light, not only Mo Xi's arm, Mo Xi's whole person was like this at this time, the man was the most handsome when he was most focused, and the king was the most solemn when he was crowned.

If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not authoritative.

Time stopped at this moment, Duncan saw that Mo Xi was beside him, but he didn't change his idea of shooting, he believed in himself, so he shot.

So Mo Xi also took action.

So the basketball was caught in the middle of the air by two palms.

So Mo Xi blocked Duncan's shot.

So the Knicks won!

Time that had been frozen suddenly flowed again at this moment, and it was only then that people slowly recovered from the phantom of the final blow.

The Spurs home fans were unhappy, but they felt helpless. They could only silently watch the few die-hard Knicks fans and Knicks balls who came with the team, celebrating the staff and players.

Duncan looked at the Knicks, who were in celebration, and sighed.

At this time, Mo Xi broke free from the carnival team, he approached Duncan, and whispered in his ear, "I don't know why, but someone asked me to tell you that the future belongs to you." ”
