Chapter 80: The Knicks Are Never a Slave
The Knicks lost to Tennoyama. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lost the most crucial battle in Miami. It's just that this time the New York media surprisingly didn't pour cold water, because Tianwang Mountain is very critical, but this is destined to be a series of seven ties.
Even the Miamians, who already had the upper hand, were a little weak-hearted, and even they didn't think they could win Game 6. But no matter what, the Knicks are on the edge of a cliff, and with the Knicks' current mental state, the Knicks are going crazy at once.
Van Gundy made a decisive change of formation. In the first five games, the Knicks did not have particularly outstanding players, or neither side had particularly outstanding players, but occasionally in some flashes of inspiration, Van Gundy still had some new ideas.
Speaking of the Knicks' change of lineup, Pat Riley, as an old rival, is naturally clear and tight, that is, to remove the point guard and replace it with an interior line, Johnson went down to the No. 3 position, and according to the current configuration of the Knicks, the Knicks' current three young interior lines have a chance. However, Pat Riley prefers Thomas, and in such a strong confrontational rhythm, Thomas is more suitable than Camby, and as for Moxi, this is a headache.
In the first five rounds of the game, Mo Xi's performance can not be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad, the average of 10 + 5 + 5 data per game makes people look hot, yes, after Mo Xi arrived in the playoffs, I don't know which tendon was twitched, suddenly the style of painting changed, it seems to have become a strategy center, all kinds of elusive passes emerge in endlessly, but, at this time, Mo Xi also showed another problem, too little experience, Mo Xi's average of five assists per game is based on an average of nearly four mistakes per game.
In this regard, Van Gundy was very annoyed, and restricted Mo Xi, giving him ten shots per game, whether it was a foul or what, as long as he shot, even if it was not counted in the data table, he grabbed a rebound and had one more chance to shoot, and a mistake cut out a shot opportunity, and the players who could train themselves like this in the playoffs, Van Gundy has obviously made great progress after a finals.
As for the protagonist of this limitation, Mo Xi, in his own words, I have been working very hard to control the mistakes, but I don't know how recently, when I see a teammate have a slight chance to score, I want to seize this fleeting opportunity to pass the ball.
Van Gundy thought about it, and still put Mo Xi in the starting position, after all, no matter how the outside world views this game, the Knicks have reached the edge of the cliff, and this New York must not lose, Van Gundy started a big gamble.
Mo Xi was promoted to the starting line-up, position, center-forward.
When the lineups of the two sides came out, everyone was surprised, Mo Xi was not a surprise to start, what was really surprising was that Mo Xi came to the center position, and Ewing went to the power forward position. Although the Heat and the Knicks are both two-center configurations, because of their height, these two can play like fish in water even if they come to the position of power forward. But the Knicks are different, whether it is Mo Xi or Ewing, they are not the kind of people who adapt to the power forward position, Ewing has always played center before, and it is also because Ewing is stronger, so now, does this mean anything?
New Yorkers don't see anything wrong with this, they just know that New York will never be a slave!
At the beginning of the game, Mo Xi jumped the ball away on Mo Ning's head, and the scene set off a cheer. The Knicks began to push.
Although Mo Xi came to the center position, the Knicks' tactics have always been to find people, and the ball was given to Ewing in the high post at the first time.
Ewing faced P-J. Brown and did not launch an attack at the first time, after all, the position of the free throw line is still a little unfriendly to Ewing. Ewing chooses to hoist the ball to Moxi.
Although Mo Ning is also a well-known tough guy, but in fact, Mo Ning's style of play is very tough, but Mo Ning's innate advantage is not good, Mo Xi used his broad back and height advantage to block Mo Ning behind him, and directly caught Ewing's pass.
Mo Xi began to chisel into the forbidden area, but Mo Ning did not retreat.
At this point, Ewing also started to run, and he pushed Brown straight to the basket.
The Knicks' twin-tower tactics have been seen countless times by the Heat, but it is rare for this kind of situation to be cut by Ewing.
Mo Ning subconsciously deviated his body to the inside line, ready to make up for the defense at any time.
Ewing was about to get to the basket, but he didn't shake off Brown, but Mo Xi still passed the ball over.
Mourning and Brown plan to encircle Ewing on the spot.
However, Ewing rarely showed his agile footwork, which was not bad, Ewing first went in the opposite direction, then turned his feet and slid out to the other side, and the ink left there seemed to be just right for Ewing to block and dismantle.
Brown defended from behind, and the Heat's defense was still very strong.
Ewing didn't choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Mo Xi, who turned around directly after receiving the ball, because there was no Mourning's block, he went straight to the basket.
But with Mourning guarding under the basket, Mo Xi topped Mourning, and it seemed that the Knicks' first offense was going to be in vain.
Suddenly, Mo Xi smashed the ball on the ground with both hands, and a figure flew by, it was Sprewell, he suddenly started, from the wing to the bottom corner, and then ran back to get rid of the opponent and inserted directly into the basket, P-J Brown was blocked by Ewing, and could not step forward to make up for the defense.
Sprewell caught the bouncing ball, took off straight and completed a straight-arm dunk on Mourning's side.
There was an avalanche of cheers over New York, and the ball was so brilliant that it was even dunked in with a 24-second margin.
The Knicks put in a brilliant team offense, largely thanks to the uncanny passing between the two centers and, above all, the imagination of the Knicks.
Van Gundy looked at this performance, nodded secretly, and kept shaking his head, this passing ability is very good, but Van Gundy bets that the next pass, Mo Xi will definitely make a mistake.
Sure enough, two rounds later, the Knicks dribbled the ball into Mo Xi's hand, and Mo Xi threw the ball with one hand, intending to pass it to Johnson who cut in, but he didn't expect that Mourning behind him suddenly pushed him away, grabbed him in front of him and cut off the ball, and the Heat directly launched a fast attack, and Hardaway forced the ball in, and the two sides were tied.
The on-court lineup on both sides is now extreme, one extremely tall and one extremely short, and the Knicks are easily dragged down by the Heat's counterattack, and the Heat are also easily scuttled by the Knicks' position, especially when the Knicks have three good back-to-back players.
The Knicks began to chisel frantically into the Heat's interior, and before even Van Gundy himself knew that the Knicks' tactics had received unexpected results.
"Drop~"
"Black Thirty-Three, Foul Boy."
Because he paid too much attention to Mo Xi's pass, Mo Ning still caught the way, and Mo Xi's simple back retreat actually shook Mo Ning up, which surprised everyone.
Mo Ning walked off the court and hammered his chest hard, he knew what was going on, Mo Xi's pass was like a buzzing mosquito, which was so annoying, although it was harmless to bite it, it was very itchy, Mo Ning's temper was naturally going to slap the mosquito to death directly, but because of this, he was a little impatient on the defensive end, and he was actually hit by the Knicks with two fouls in the first quarter.
Pat Riley's face became serious, he didn't know that Van Gundy's tactical layout was just an unintentional move, he thought it was Van Gundy's tactical layout. The Heat's interior is a strength and can be a weakness, because the Heat's interior is the core of his entire defensive system, as long as the two centers stay on the court......
"Drop~"
"Black Forty-Two, Foul on the Fighter."
“what isfuck!!!” Rao is Pat Riley has always been holding such a pearl of wisdom, and at this time he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and stepped forward to argue with the referee.
Pat Riley has a very high status at this time, but he is still not qualified enough, a little thin, and the referee did not explain too much to him, but just tried to get him back to the bench.
Under the persuasion of the assistant coach, Riley calmed down, he took two steps, hurried back to the sidelines, called Brown over and whispered: "Next, you must protect yourself, don't let yourself foul again, you have to keep yourself on the court until Mourning comes back in the second quarter, control the foul, they will probably keep staring at you." ”
The Knicks don't have that meaning, but they have to have that meaning, because the Knicks' current lineup is a set of tactical styles of smashing the interior and smashing the cold to make a three-point shot.
The last thing Pat Riley wanted to see happened, and three minutes later, Brown made three fouls.
It seems that God is also attached to New York, and by mistake, New York inexplicably held the doorknob of victory.
