Chapter 155: The First Section Explodes
After the game began, the imposing Knicks directly had the upper hand.
Mo Xi jumped to the ball and the Knicks pushed quickly.
Arenas and Moxi immediately used their usual offensive style recently after blocking and dismantling at the horns, and Moxi went directly to the basket, and Arenas also broke through and stuffed the ball directly to Moxi on the side.
The Knicks' first offense is almost always in this way, and the Pacers are naturally prepared a lot for this old enemy battle, so how can the Knicks' first offense be so obvious that something as obvious is not paying attention? The Pacers directly started with a double bag and Mo Xi, O'Neal Jr. resisted Mo Xi in front, and Artest stepped forward to flank it. It can be said that the Pacers' bag is definitely at the historical level, these two people are in the last stage of their careers, and the strongest part of these two people is defense, these two people's bags are definitely not as simple as 1+1=2.
Mo Xi was almost unable to hold the ball in the first blow of Artest's impact, stumbled under his feet, almost lost the ball, and hurriedly protected the ball in front of him, but this also made Mo Xi lose the advantage of mobility and was sandwiched under the basket by two people. If it were usual, Mo Xi's goal would definitely come out, but who made George Karl's front mobilization too successful, although Mo Xi was only in the beginning of the game at the moment, he had already entered the state of killing red eyes.
With a "bang", Mo Xi waved away little O'Neill with an elbow, and Artest next to him saw this, and did not hesitate to hand Mo Xi an elbow covertly. However, Mo Xi didn't seem to care about this, and resisted Artest's blow, and then took advantage of Artest's elbow to stiffen his shoulders and shake Artest, which was a flat thunderbolt. Mo Xi pressed down on the center of gravity, directly exploded, and rose into the air under the attack of O'Neal Jr. and Artest, and smashed the ball into the basket.
There was a loud bang, and Mo Xi thumped his chest and let out a roar.
The entire Madison Square Garden roared along with the ink.
The Pacers' players swayed slightly.
Artest showed a fierce light on the side, such a hero, when the big white.
After the Knicks hit the head with a stick, the Pacers were a little angry, but whether it was O'Neal Jr., Artest or Miller, they were all unruly, how could they bear this breath, and the Pacers who came back planned to return the Knicks directly.
The Pacers are a typical traditional team in the East, a team that uses defense to win, and although they also have research on offense, they are obviously a cut behind George Carr, but they are not bad by relying on talent.
Tinsley slowly controlled the ball through the half, and the current Indiana is very much like the Knicks when Murphy first entered the league, the whole lineup is almost identical, and the tactics of the two are very similar.
Tinsley wanted to give the ball to O'Neal Jr. on the inside, but Moxi's defense was very resolute, O'Neal Jr. was difficult to hold the position, and the rest of the Knicks were also looming nearby, Tinsley hesitated for a moment, but passed the ball to Harrington outside the three-point line.
Harrington stood outside the three-point line and singled Rasheed Wallace.
Wallace's defense is not weak, coupled with his height and long arms, Harrington hesitated for a long time, after all, he didn't dare to force on Wallace's head, a tentative step, pulled to the side, and planned to hit the basket, but Wallace directly blocked Harrington, Harrington was forced to stop dribbling, first protected the ball, and then turned his back to Wallace, and saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Miller who came out from the side.
Despite his age, Miller's threat to many people has not diminished in the slightest, especially to the Knicks.
Houston knew that there was only one way to stop Miller, and that was to deny Miller the ball.
Houston gritted his teeth, not caring that it was just less than a minute into the game, so he threw himself out directly, and the whole person snatched the ball in the air.
Houston used too much force, although the ball was broken, but he also lay directly on the ground, fortunately, he was not injured.
Seeing Houston cut the ball, everyone in the Knicks roared and rushed to the front court like tigers out of prison.
Houston struggled to flick the ball forward, Arenas received the ball and forced a layup, with Artest following closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, Artest had arrived in front of Arenas, Arenas gritted his teeth, and did not pass the ball, he turned around at high speed, bringing a whirlwind, and rushed out directly from Artest, Artest was going to turn around and hug Arenas, but there was wind at Arenas' feet, and when Artest turned around, Arenas had already taken off.
The Knicks fought back.
The Pacers attack again.
This time O'Neal Jr. pulled out directly, after receiving the ball, the frame attacked, in the face of Mo Xi, O'Neal Jr. was not chaotic at all, he did not rashly attack, but used his speed, pretending to break through, suddenly a sudden stop, half turned around, and shook a shot, Mo Xi was unmoved, but leaned up to force O'Neill Jr., O'Neal's eyes flashed, and suddenly split the ball, smashed it directly on the ground, and gave it to Artest who cut in from the middle.
At this point, it was hard for him to get back to the basket, but Rashid Wallace's defense was not a showmanship, especially his ability to help defend, because of his excellent mobility, he could even match Garnett in this regard.
Artest relied on his strong body to push away Sprewell, intending to force a layup, but at this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, like a white rainbow running through the sun, and with a "poof", it was actually Artest's big hat.
However, because the forward rush was too fierce, Wallace flew directly out of bounds, and this frontcourt rebound was actually obtained by Artest again, just when Artest was happy to shoot under the basket and was about to score this ball again, another shadow appeared behind him, different from the poundy atmosphere of the white rainbow of the day, this time, it was really silent, sneaking into the night with the wind.
"Bang"
Another nail board, Mo Xi suddenly killed, killing Artest by surprise, Mo Xi was like an assassin shuttling through the night building, quietly obliterating Artest's attack.
The rebounding Pacers couldn't continue their good fortune this time, and Sprewell rushed to pocket the defensive rebound, and the Knicks hit another counterattack on the spot.
Sprewell passed to Arenas, Arenas crossed to Houston, and Houston received the ball and went straight to the basket.
Defense + fast break, the sharp weapon of the Celtics in the cardinal era now resounds in the land of Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks beat the Pacers dizzy with their bravery in the first quarter, and at 38:18, the Knicks led the Pacers by 20 points in the first quarter, which was really terrifying.
