During the halftime break, the Knicks' locker room was in a hot atmosphere, and the first half of the twenty-point lead over the Raptors gave everyone great encouragement, although the Knicks are in trouble with injuries at the moment, but this offseason the Knicks have made full preparations, and all positions are equipped with reliable substitutes, although the Knicks' forward line is seriously injured, but relying on the veteran Osala and others, it is not bad, although it is just a remnant, but it has broken last season's bitter Toronto Raptors, Although this has something to do with the Raptors' inexplicable change this season, it is more because the Knicks have inexplicably become stronger this season, obviously not much has changed, and the strength of the players does not seem to have changed much, but Mo Xi is feeling, the Knicks are very strong, at least, they can return to the Finals this season, and besides, this is also the last year that Mo Xi and Ewing agreed.

Sprewell was even more excited that he was already crazy alone, and in this situation, Sprewell's madness was even worse.

In contrast to the Knicks' locker room, which is like a volcano brewing and about to erupt, the Raptors' locker room is like an iceberg, and the cold breath almost freezes people into ice cubes.

Wilkens was still making his final efforts, and he kept laying out his tactics in the hope that the team would change something in the second half, but as he spoke, he stopped.

With a strange smile on his face, Wilkens looked at his players and said in a soft tone, "Oh, why, have you given up yet?" Can't wait to go home for Christmas? ”

After a moment of silence, Wilkens continued: "I know, many of you play just to make a living, and winning or losing is not even as important to you as a sword, but, have you ever thought about it" Wilkens's face suddenly became angry, and he instantly turned into a tyrant, and he shouted loudly, "No one will want to cheer for the unenterprising, no one will want to watch the game of the weak, no one will remember the loser!" It's just a regular season game, but I can't see the desire to win in you, what are you doing! Remember, I'm the head coach, if you don't want to play anymore, just tell me and I'll leave you out of work forever! ”

As an old fossil in the alliance, even Auerbach has to respect the cigar, Wilkens's prestige and strength are all things to look up to, and the old marshal's accumulation over the years is not an ornament, if he says no one, he can't do it.

The Raptors shivered coldly below, and no one dared to touch this mold.

Half time came back and the game continued.

The Raptors got the opportunity to attack first, and Carter finally relied on the team's conduction to get a misplaced offensive opportunity, forced a breakthrough to the basket, and rode Thomas to win.

Carter was celebrating with great interest the violent buckle of the flat basket when he suddenly saw a white figure running by.

Thomas served quickly.

Carter had to hastily stop the Overlord step performance amid the Knicks' ridicule and run to the backcourt.

The Knicks didn't take advantage of the opportunity to score this goal, but waited until Carter came back before starting to attack, as if it were the difference between a musician and a joker at court.

Seeing Carter in place, the Knicks quickly started their show, Mark Jackson and Mo Xi blocked, Mo Xi pushed directly to the penalty area, Mark Jackson pulled outside, and knocked the ball to the ground with his return hand.

Mo Xi received the ball and dribbled, turned around, passed the Raptors player who was making up the defense, and flew directly sideways, and came with a heavy dunk of the frame.

To the surprise of the Raptors, the Knicks did not lower the tempo as usual and focus on defense in the third quarter, but instead strengthened the offense, even at the expense of reducing their defensive intensity.

Van Gundy was secretly proud off the field, and people always criticized him for not knowing how to be flexible, but it was just that they were short-sighted, tactics, according to what a certain philosopher in the East said, the virtual and the real, the combination of the virtual and the real. Since it's a Christmas war, it's natural to have a better fight.

The Knicks' sudden acceleration made the Raptors a little uncomfortable for a while, Wilkens thought that the traditional center's Mo Xi would be very uncomfortable in the case of the team's sudden speed, but he was surprised to find that the Knicks actually arranged special tactics for Mo Xi.

After running through half-court, he quickly landed outside the three-second zone, and stuck Montrose in the low post, who was like a bamboo pole in the club.

Murphy receives a drop ball from Mark Jackson and begins to use his body to pound Montrose.

Montrose couldn't stand on his feet and leaned back. Mo Xi took this opportunity to turn around directly, and the small hook hand sent the ball into the basket.

Wilkens quickly made adjustments, replacing Jerome Williams, and he played the No. 4 position, Antonio continued to mention the No. 5 position to fight against Moxi, Wilkens planned to use such a small fast lineup to deal with the Knicks' speed-up, but he didn't know that the Knicks had not designed a special tactic for Mo Xi in such a state, but Mark Jackson was controlling the game with his own experience.

The ball was given to Mo Xi again, at this time, the third quarter of the game has been halfway through, under the acceleration of the 10,000-year-old grandmother Knicks, the pace of the game has gradually increased, and there are more offensive rounds, the Knicks unconsciously pulled the difference to twenty-five points, Carter hung tightly on the last trace of fighting spirit, and his hand recovered in the third quarter of the game, two of five shots, plus three free throws, and he also cut seven points, but I believe that Mo Xi will become the last straw that crushes him.

Mo Xi received the ball again, the most comfortable left waist position. Antonio was stubbornly sorry in the back, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Mo Xi is like a high-speed computer, when he began to settle down, he began to observe the running position of everyone just on, after receiving the ball, he decisively chiseled in, at this time, although no one came to wrap him, but Mo Xi still easily found the Raptors' defensive gap, Mo Xi turned around, directly to the basket, the two staggered half of their bodies horizontally, but Antonio did not dare to move, he knew that as long as there was a movement under his feet, Mo Xi would definitely move in the opposite direction, and easily scored an empty ball under the basket.

Mo Xi didn't play any big eyes and stares with Antonio, Mo Xi shook up, Antonio didn't move, and Mo Xi didn't make a move. At this moment, Mo Xi seemed to have a long eye in the back of his head, and threw the ball behind him.

Houston slapped the horse and hit the ball, and it was directly a turnaround jumper when he received the ball.

The Knicks widened the difference to more than 25 points, and this time, the Raptors suddenly lost all their heart, and even the old coach Wilkens had to pinch his nose and eat this defeat.

After the end of the third quarter, Mo Xi was directly pressed to the bench by Van Gundy, ending his day of clocking in to work, Mo Xi's performance in this game was very eye-catching, but it was not outstanding, 22 points, eight boards and six assists, compared to Houston's 30 + 3 + 5 is far worse, but Mo Xi's efficiency is too strong, only 28 minutes on the court, 12 shots, hit nine shots, and four of six free throws, which is considered a delay.

The Christmas game in New York ended with New Yorkers rejoicing and others disappointed, and the high-profile Vinson Carter even dunked two baskets in this game, and his performance was not satisfactory, but no one knew that the Knicks were about to embark on a different journey.
