It was the strangest game Murphy had ever seen, with both sides seemingly focused on defense and dismissive offense, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' outside duo led the bench head-on to a face-to-face confrontation with the 76ers' Larry Hughes and Snow-led second lineup. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, Sprewell was facing a tall black man wearing a No. 12 jersey, who was half a head taller than Sprewell, but the thin body was so slender that it felt like it would break off directly in the middle if it hit harder.

But the duel between the two is not as one-sided as Mo Xi imagined.

After the Sprewell shake, he made a strong attack from his right hand, and after the first step was activated, he suddenly changed direction and changed lanes to cut the middle line.

The number 12 who was defending him seemed to be shaken at first, but for a split second, he quickly swung back and stopped in front of Sprewell.

Sprewell didn't expect the opponent to be able to chase back the defense when he had been shaken off, Sprewell was competitive, controlled the ball with his left hand, pushed outward, and then pulled back, pushed outward, suddenly changed direction, and then went to the right side.

It's just that this time the opposing defender didn't move, and when Sprewell changed direction for the last time, he suddenly stabbed to the left side of his body and went to Sprewell's scout, Sprewell was caught off guard, the ball was hit, and Sprewell had to take a step back to stabilize the dribble, but how could Sprewell be willing, he was a quick big change of direction, this time there were no fancy moves, and he directly used explosive power to walk on the right.

But this time, the defender opposite him predicted it in advance, took a step forward and went up, the two collided hard, and he pulled Sprewell's jersey covertly at the same time, so that he could not quickly adjust his center of gravity, the referee did not give the whistle, and the defender quickly pulled the ball out of bounds and pointed the ball out of bounds.

Suddenly, there was a slightly scattered applause in the venue.

Mo Xi asked Ward sitting on the field with interest: "Charlie (Ward's name), who is the guy who defends Ratrier, why haven't I heard of him at all?" ”

Ward also frowned and said, "I don't know him either, but I've heard about him, he's a good defender, but his hands are a little dark." ”

Mo Xi suddenly made the Knicks' starting point guard say that his shot was a bit black, which was at least as dark as the New York gang, and it was no wonder that Mo Xi had never heard of such a number one person.

The Knicks still couldn't score this ball in the end, and after a while, Mo Xi also returned to the court.

The situation on the field is very strange now, obviously the two sides collide so violently, but there is not a T, although there is Larry Brown, his name can control the field, but neither of the two sides, whether Larry Hughes or Sprewell or something, is the kind of talkative master, this game is really strange.

After Mo Xi came on the court, he received the first opportunity to attack, perhaps because the two sides fought too the outside before, and for a while the defense of the inside line was a little lax, and seeing Mo Xi easily receive the ball on the baseline, Larry Brown's brows furrowed.

Mo Xi's position is still some distance from the basket, but at this time it is really a problem whether he can pass it in, Mo Xi intends to force himself to solve it, so far, Mo Xi has only got three shots, although there are two free throws, but he has always held back his strength on the defensive end.

Mo Xi has no room to turn his back, and further down is the bottom line, he can only turn up.

The 76ers who defended him apparently thought the same way, slightly loosening up the defense on the line and blocking the line line with their bodies.

Mo Xi squatted and pushed directly backwards, but the other party was very experienced, and his body naturally retracted, and Mo Xi did not hit the person at all. However, such a shrinkage left a little space for Mo Xi. Mo Xi turned around directly, and both sides did not make any false movements, and rushed directly towards the route of the line.

Mo Xi dribbled with his right hand, sent out the left half of his body, and the two collided directly, but Mo Xi's current pile skills are very good, kicking under his feet, exerting force on his waist, directly pushing away the defender, and at the same time with a wave of his left hand, he smashed a road with an elbow and went straight to the basket.

Mo Xi held the ball all the way to the basket in an almost rugby way, and then took off into the air, at this time, he felt someone pulling his jersey, but he couldn't care about it, Mo Xi raised his hands high, and with the advantage of his reach, he pulled the frame with both hands.

"Drip ~ "

The referee blew the whistle and went to the free throw line.

Off the court, Larry Brown was a little upset, thinking that Moxi's elbow swing was too big in the attack. At this time in the league, although this situation has begun to be gradually stopped, but in a game like this game where both sides are very intense, the referee turns a blind eye, and Brown does this just by using his qualifications to rely on the old and sell the old, and put some pressure on the referee.

It's just that the goal he just scored became his last goal in the first half, and then it was difficult for him to receive the ball, or he was destroyed by someone when he received the ball and had to pass the ball out.

At the end of the first half, the two sides fought very fiercely, with two people each committing three fouls, and the score was tied at 31, and the players on both sides were out of breath, not to mention that the Knicks were still back-to-back.

In the away dressing room, Van Gundy looked at a group of tired players who couldn't say a word, but he was also a little at a loss, he kept looking through the tactical manual, and suddenly looked at Mo Xi as if he had thought of something.

Van Gundy asked, "Mo, how are you practicing now?" ”

Mo Xi heard Van Gundy ask this, and he couldn't understand what Van Gundy meant, Mo Xi was difficult to receive the ball in the low post in the first half, in that case, why not bring it up, and use Mo Xi like Ewing?

"Generally speaking, there are no major problems, but I haven't tried to defend at this intensity. "Actually, Mo Xi is still a little lie here, Mo Xi's shooting has always had only one problem, that is, it is not stable enough, it is a thorough nerve knife, Houston's guidance to him is very simple, unstable means that the shooting skills are okay, but there is an obvious lack of muscle memory, as long as there are more, it would be fine, as for how much to shoot, Mo Xi didn't ask, and Houston didn't say, because both of them knew it.

Van Gundy didn't care if what Mo Xi said was true or not, he directly arranged the tactics and said: "In the second half, you mentioned the high position, remember how they used the twin towers when playing against the Spurs, and now you come to play Robinson's position." ”

Van Gundy's tactics were actually very careless, maybe he just tried it without hope.

Sometimes, trying may not be successful, but if you don't try, you will definitely fail, and this time, the Knicks seem to have felt a little bit of success.

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks first defended a wave of 76ers' offense, and then began to try.

The first attempt was a failure, with Murphy holding the ball in the high post and Thomas in the low post, but Murphy clearly had no experience in holding the ball high in this situation.

Mo Xi was fine when he just received the ball, but when he put the ball down slightly, he received a pinch shot from the 76ers, and Mo Xi didn't react at the first time and was cut off.

In the next round, the Knicks didn't continue to try, Houston and Sprewell began to cross the run, and Mo Xi came up to block the pick-and-roll, but the 76ers' rotation defense was extremely fast, and neither Houston nor Sprewell could get the position.

But Ward still passed the ball to Houston, who faced a center who switched defenses, and he broke straight inside to break through and break up behind him.

This time, Mo Xi didn't make the mistake of the last time, relying on his physical advantage to shoot directly and hit.

The Knicks have a new way of attacking, and how can Larry Brown, who is a master tactician, show weakness.

The 76ers' offense is still the main offensive body on the outside, the two guards are constantly running on the baseline, passing through from behind several interior lines, their range of movement is very large, but because the main activity is on the baseline, the Knicks' defense moves in a very narrow range, and in the case of congestion on the inside, the Knicks' defensive system is instantly suppressed, and Snow hits a mid-range shot.

The second half started with a very aggressive start from both sides. Once again, the Knicks fell into positional warfare.

Mo Xi brought it up to Ward to block it. The two of them parted at the touch of a button, Mo Xi shook a little, but did not follow up, pulled to the horn position, Ward advanced to the opposite flank, and suddenly gave Thomas a blow. Thomas's mid-range shot was good, but the low-post offense was a bit poor, and it was even worse today, hitting only one shot.

Just as Thomas received the ball, the Knicks' number 30 moved quickly.

Mo Xi suddenly turned back and rushed to the basket, Thomas threw the ball into Mo Xi's arms, but because of this, the defender behind him got rid of him and stepped forward to help.

Mo Xi faced the 76ers' defensive line directly.

Mo Xi strode forward, rushing forward with the momentum of thunder. In the first half, Mo Xi held back for a long time, and the resentment of the entire first half seemed to explode in this goal.

Mo Xi rushed out directly from the gap between the two, raised one arm high, and smashed out with a straight-arm battle axe.

There was a loud bang, as if a fierce beast had come out of its cage and tore the top of the mountain.
