"Let's not care about the rhythm, the old Nelson's team has never had a rhythm at all, but you don't want to be led away by the other side, from now on, give the ball to the inside, Mo, you come to singles, play to the death, that is, to attack the basket, and at the same time you have to pay attention, they can shoot from any position, you must pay attention when switching offense and defense!" Van Gundy made an arrangement, but in fact, there was no arrangement, in the face of a team as unreasonable as the Mavericks, the most important thing is that he plays his, and you beat yours, so the Mavericks in this period are really annoying when they meet the Spurs.

Van Gundy is also helpless, for him who lacks the ability to improvise, in the face of a coach like Nelson who does not play according to the routine, no matter how much preparation he makes, the better choice is to hand the ball to the players on the field and let them choose.

However, Van Gundy still kept Mark Jackson off the court and let Ward stay on the court, after all, the Knicks are still a team that focuses on defense, and now the offensive dominance is completely handed over to the center, and only a functional point guard needs to be sent, as for Arenas, it is natural to be ignored again.

The game restarted, and the Knicks' offense was still fast, but this time it was a little different.

After Ward got the ball to the front court, he waited for Mo Xi to settle down, jammed Nowitzki, and then hoisted the ball to Mo Xi.

Nowitzki's style of play belongs to the projection type, but this does not mean that his style of play is soft, but his physical confrontation has a clear gap with several other big forwards, not to mention the fact that he is defending in front of Mo Xi from four to five at the moment.

Mo Xi raised his hand and took the ball off the air, and without thinking about it, he just slammed it directly at Nowitzki.

Nowitzki was powerless to resist at all, and he retreated, only two steps back, and he was already under the basket, and Mo Xi hit the basket with a small hook hand almost unhindered.

The Knicks' decisive offense was not taken into account by the Mavericks, and the current Mavericks are far from being the top team with both offense and defense in the future, not to mention that the old Nelson is not very strict with defense, and the Mavericks did not take this loss of points seriously at all.

But soon, old Nelson found a problem, all the Knicks' handling of the ball seemed to be handed over to Mo Xi to do, and old Nelson collected a prodigal smile and looked at the changing situation in the court.

The Knicks put the ball in the hands of Mo Xi again, and this time Mo Xi did not go to the low post, but to the high post.

The ink in this position makes Nowitzki even more entangled, because as far as he is concerned, there are many ways to attack in this position, not to mention that this guy in front of him has a great body.

Today, Mo Xi really doesn't seem to want to play any technical flow, obviously attacking with the ball in a high position, but he still feels like a heavy tank.

Mo Xi didn't even feint, leaned on Nowitzki and leaned back hard, and then butted his butt, and at the same time took the left foot as the axis and the right foot retracted backwards, Sigma turned around, Mo Xi directly strengthened the acceleration breakthrough, and went straight to the Mavericks basket from the middle.

Nowitzki planned to step forward to defend, but he was knocked away by Mo Xisheng, facing Juwan Howard who came to make up for the defense, Mo Xi turned up with a merciless elbow, the referee frowned, seeing that it was the Knicks' home court did not blow, Mo Xi directly made a strong one-handed dunk.

The atmosphere at Madison Square Garden was raised, and while the Knicks were still behind, wasn't that the style of play New Yorkers had wanted to play all their lives? Anyway, New York, which symbolizes superheroes in the end, is sure to win.

In fact, at this time, the players on the field are not playing well.

The Mavericks' players are okay, after all, playing against the offense has always been the Mavericks' housekeeping skills, but now Nowitzki has been suppressed by Mo Xi with his body, this seven-foot big man from Germany is actually a very competitive player, although he is very difficult to defend Mo Xi, but he still did not give up, the consequence of this is that the main scorer of the Mavericks has been consumed a lot of physical strength on the defensive end, and Mo Xi has been using his body to fight against Nowitzki, so Nowitzki's body has always been hard. I can't find the feeling of the opening at all, but fortunately, a team like the Knicks, who is used to playing fast-paced, is not suitable for the vain acceleration of the pace of the game, and the entire first quarter is a one-man performance.

In the last minutes of the first quarter, Nelson understood the situation on the court and decisively replaced Nowitzki off the court to calm down the big man with explosive offensive talent.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks fell behind, but the score was really a bit sensational, in the early 21st century, there were actually two teams that scored a total of 67 points in the first quarter, and the Knicks temporarily fell behind 31:36.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Xi did not plan to rest, and continued to stay on the court, the Mavericks' lineup has never had that particularly stocky center, and for a while, Mo Xi was like no one on the Mavericks' inside.

Mo Xi finally used a hooligan-style play to catch up with the score, the two sides tied at 40, and the old Nelson had to send all the starters on the court, but at this time, the mad scientist suddenly had an idea, put the "Beetle" Tim Hardaway on the court, and came to a lineup of double point guards and double fronts, which can only be said to be very Nelson.

The Mavericks' sudden change of formation caught the Knicks off guard again, and Ward, although he is also experienced, lacks some talent after all, and sometimes, talent is more important than sweat.

At this time, Mo Xi rejected Van Gundy's suggestion to rest and continued to stay on the court, this time he did not bow his head like a bull just now, but deepened the connection with his teammates, after all, the Mavericks' change of formation only made the Knicks' defense more difficult, on the defensive end, they still couldn't put too much pressure on the Knicks, but Mo Xi needed to let his teammates start to warm up at this time.

So, Sprewell and Houston began to run around Thomas cross-run, and Mo Xi held the ball in the low post, attracting the attention of everyone on the Mavericks, don't get me wrong, there may be only Hardaway and Juwan Howard who are sincerely watching Mo Xi ready to step forward to make up for the defense, and Nash and Finley are waiting to quickly advance the offense, in fact, in this way, there are always one or two people in the old Nelson's team who are particularly good at defensive enthusiasm, and he just doesn't like to use bulky players who lack the ability to move.

Instead of giving the ball to Plainville or Houston, Mo Xi passed it to Thomas.

Thomas, as a coolie with the ability to shoot, is actually a good match in the true sense of the word, Thomas is not soft, he shoots when he catches the ball, and hits directly, as a typical jump shooting team, Mo Xi may be the most humiliating one.

Mo Xi, who has strengthened the strategy, is obviously not as invincible as the first quarter in terms of visual effects, but in fact, Mo Xi's performance is still outrageous, but the Mavericks' paranoid lineup makes the Knicks feel powerless, in this kind of duel that purely depends on the sky and eats, how can the New York Knicks, who are tragic men for 10,000 years, escape well, plus Nowitzki, under the mediation of Nelson, began to consciously relax the defense of Moxi, reduced physical confrontation, and Nowitzki's feel also returned.

In the end, the Knicks couldn't hold on in this quarter, and finally tied the score, and the Knicks were pulled away again, and at halftime, the Knicks fell behind 48-53.

Mo Xi played the whole half, got 20 points, 8 boards, 5 assists, and a cover, after getting off the court, he directly covered his face with a towel, he needed to rest, the Knicks needed more firepower, even if this person, it didn't matter if he played all the time, as long as he could solve the game.

Mo Xi's gaze couldn't help but move to Arenas, who was at the bottom of the bench.

In the face of mad scientists, how can people not help but go crazy?
