After the 23rd came on the field, the atmosphere on the field changed very subtly. If there is anyone in this world who makes New Yorkers feel more angry than the Pacers' 31 (Reggie Miller), and wants to get rid of it quickly, but there is nothing to be done, then I am afraid that only this man is in front of him.

After Joe helped the leader play, he directly got a shot.

Whitney controlled the ball, advanced to the frontcourt, and put the ball in the hands of No. 23 first.

Old Hooligan Joe took the ball with one hand, leaned on Sprewell, grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched it out, just when Sprewell stepped forward and was about to press, No. 23 suddenly dribbled behind his back, avoided Sprewell's gambling steal, calmly broke through, and got in. Near the free throw line, Kurt Thomas greeted him, looking at Thomas's ruthless face, Joe knew that this person probably didn't want to let him pass, but he didn't plan to have any entanglements here, so he distributed the ball and gave it to Whitney who came out of the wing.

Whitney cut into the Knicks' restricted area, and after receiving the pass, he was faster again, and he stepped forward to make up for it, and at this time, Thomas also retreated to sandwich Whitney under the basket.

Mo Xi raised an eyebrow, feeling that something was wrong, but it was too late, and Whitney passed the ball back.

At this time, the old rogue No. 23 was in a position where he could not go to the village and not the store, Thomas had just returned to guard Whitney in front, and Sprewell on this side had not had time to return to No. 23, and No. 23 received the ball and shot directly in the empty position and hit the shot.

The Wizards pulled back two points and the Knicks led by just three points.

The Knicks attacked, and after Mo Xi hit it twice, he passed the ball to Ward outside the three-point line, but unfortunately Ward hit the iron, and the rebound was taken by Lightner, and the Wizards did not break fast, but slowly advanced.

The ball was again in the hands of the twenty-three. This time, he's going to eat Spreville alone.

Cross-dribbling, feints to change direction, but Sprewell saw through the old rascal's movements this time and followed the opponent for the first time.

But the old rascal pulled back again, Sprewell continued to follow without hesitation, but when Sprewell took a step, the old rascal pulled the ball back again, a large and rapid change of direction, the old rascal suddenly broke out, a strong step, and rushed directly to the other side of Sprewell, Sprewell was a little uncomfortable at the moment, and had to forcibly pull himself over, but when he shifted the center of gravity, the old rascal "whew" rose from the ground, a classic No. 23 emergency stop jump shot.

With a "bang~" sound, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced directly into the net.

The Wizards pressed the score in, and every step of the way was pressing, and both the Knicks and the New Yorkers felt a flurry of palpitations, as if something was pressing on their hearts.

And soon, the boulder that weighed on my heart still fell.

The Knicks' offense was fruitless, and the Wizards had their first chance to overtake the score of the game.

It's No. 23 again, he came to the front of the Knicks again, the league at this time is not like the past, the team's defense because of the entry of a large number of European porridge players in the league, began to quote a lot of European defensive tactics, and the Knicks are now directly shifting all the defensive focus to No. 23.

The league began to allow regional joint defense this year, and the Knicks, as a traditional defensive powerhouse, boldly used this first officially allowed joint defense on the league's most popular figures back then, and even now, which is some, like the basketball kingdom against the world basketball system.

Jordan relied on his years of experience and old eyes to see the Knicks' defensive loopholes at a glance, and directly gave the ball to Whitney, who was already on standby outside the three-point line.

Whitney didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and directly shot a three-point shot against Ward, who hurried back to defend.

A crisp and decisive hollow three-pointer. The Knicks were overtaken.

New Yorkers panicked, and they seemed to feel that history was playing out.

Van Gundy immediately called a timeout.

It's just at this time that you can see the benefits of the Knicks' nursing home lineup. These people are people who have been in the league for many years, and they don't feel too panicked in the face of this situation that suppresses other people's normal games, but are overtaken at the last moment, they haven't seen any situation.

The Knicks made substitutions, the Knicks started the five tigers on the court, but there were some small changes, Van Gundy did not use Camby, but let Ewing come to the position of power forward, and now the Knicks have an absolute advantage on the inside, it is a good time to chase after the victory, even if the Knicks are now behind, the Wizards cannot make up for the gap with the Knicks in this regard.

Picking up his rhythm, the Knicks returned to the court.

This time, the Knicks' offense seems to be a little clearer, and a lot of the ball is fed to the inside, even Ewing, who is almost in his old age, is also in the Wizards' restricted area.

But in the same way, the Knicks are also a little uncomfortable when facing the Wizards' outside line. A lot of the defensive focus is on the No. 23, and at the same time frees up the rest of the Wizards, but obviously this situation is still very dangerous for the Wizards, because the Knicks' twin towers are obviously much more efficient on the inside than on the Wizards' side.

As a last resort, Zhuang Yuanlang played again.

Leitner has already carried five fouls at this time, and in comparison, although the champion has a bad defensive attitude, he is still thick after all, and he can also make some blocks and protect the rebound.

But at this time, there was an old ball skin on the court who had been playing for almost 20 years, and Ewing seemed to have found something, and directly asked for the ball and beat Kwame Brown, who had just come on the court.

As a representative of the power center, even Ewing at the end of his career is not a mere high school student who can fight

Another two strikes that looked simple and rough, Ewing directly squeezed the young champion away, turned around, and faced the basket head-on. Ewing seemed to want to dunk, but apparently, Ewing's movements were a little slow, and Kwame Brown reacted and jumped straight up, intending to risk the ball in Ewing's hand.

It was at this time that Ewing suddenly burst out, crashing directly into Kwame Brown in the air, knocking the opponent directly out of the court, Ewing barely dunked, but unfortunately Ewing's body was still not as good as before, the ball was actually dunked, but fortunately, he got a whistle, and Ewing hit both free throws.

Mo Xi watched thoughtfully from the sidelines.

Back on the defensive end, Murphy was behind Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown knew that he couldn't get any benefit from Mo Xi's hands, so he simply wanted to pass the ball out and hand it over to Joe to deal with.

It's a pity that at this time, Mo Xi has a complete insight into Kwame Brown's thoughts, because Kwame Brown is not too resolute from the beginning of the card position, and he is not the kind of center with very good shooting ability, Mo Xi saw through his intentions, and when he lifted the ball, he directly stretched out his hand from behind Kwame Brown and slapped the ball down.

Sprewell pounced straight over, picked up the ball, and was about to pass it to Mark Jackson, directly forming a fast break, but unfortunately No. 23 suddenly appeared, snatched the ball directly from Sprewell's hand, and distributed it to the outside hand, but Houston saw that the situation was not good and fouled directly, and pressed the opponent.

Taking advantage of the penalty shoot, Joe came to Kwame Brown's side and said to him, "Remember, kid, this is the basketball court, this is where the fighters play, not a place for you to play, if you continue to play like this, then get off the court first and see how others are playing." Although he was furious, it was surprising that the Qiao gang leader still retained a large part of his skills, and I don't know how Pippen would feel if he found out.

But Kwame Brown doesn't seem to appreciate it too much, as a nineteen-year-old kid, he is still too young, he was used to it in high school, came here, and was educated by two top or former top centers in succession, which really hurt him a lot.
