After the narrow win over the Hawks, the Knicks had plenty of rest in Atlanta. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and after this small victory, the momentum of the Knicks has changed a lot. Winning the Heat's hard-fought battle made people sit in the clouds, and this time, the Knicks poured out a momentum for no reason, and the championship cup was not impossible to touch. A crazy desire spread within the Knicks, and the leaders were naturally Ewing and these veterans.

A day later, the second game began, again at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, where the Atlanta Hawks once again faced the incoming New York Knicks.

This time, Wilkens can be said to have done his homework, and the first thing to ensure is to strangle the Knicks' outside double guns.

Judging from the start, Wilkens did the right thing, and Houston didn't score a point in the entire first quarter. Sprewell, who was substituted on the court, only hit one shot, and the Knicks only scored 17 points in the first quarter, which was scored by those interior players. But the poor offense didn't pull the Knicks away, and the Knicks' tough defense only allowed the Hawks to score 20 points.

After a rough start, Van Gundy changed his tactics in the second quarter.

"Sprewell, the next thing you have to do is change your offense, try to get to the basket and make damage." Van Gundy rummaged in his pocket for a while, but could not find a practical means, and in desperation, he chose a reluctant change.

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, Van Gundy looked at the bench and said, "Mo, you are also on the field." ”

Mo Xi was a little puzzled, after all, since he wanted to break through to make kills, it was better to change to an inside line that could open up space, Ewing, Johnson, and Thomas's mid-range shooting ability was better than him.

It turned out that the task Mo Xi got turned out to be a low-level strategy.

To be honest, Mo Xi is not used to this kind of work, although he sees Johnson often do, but he himself does not like it very much, and in recent times, almost any type of interior Van Gundy has asked Mo Xi to give it a try, as if he wants to build him into a Wharton-style center.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Moxi, Thomas, Johnson, Sprewell, and Charles came on. And it is worth noting that on the Eagles' side, Mutombo is still on the court, and it seems that the Eagles' interior emptiness has been bad to a certain extent, and they have to keep Mutombo on the court like this, but then again, a good player really has to be durable.

The game went on with the Knicks in possession.

Charles handed the ball directly to Mo Xi after halftime, in fact, when it comes to organizational skills, Charles is the best one on the team, which is why he has always been dissatisfied with Ward as a starter. But since the coach arranges the tactics like this, it is better to execute them as a player.

Although Mo Xi occasionally responded, it was the first time that he had organized it directly.

Mo Xi carefully observed the situation on the court, Sprewell was stubbornly resisted, and there was a person looming in the passing path next to him, Johnson pulled directly outside the three-point line, Thomas was in the corner position, and was hesitating whether to make a wall for Sprewell or pull it out directly, and Charles was opposite him.

Mo Xi didn't know what to do for a while, so he held the ball with his back to Mutombo and simulated a tactical run in his heart.

Thomas made the wall and Sprewell cut into the middle...... No, he can't stop Mutombo, and with him to help defend the basket, Sprewell can't even make fouls. If you want to give the ball to Johnson, then the ball will have to be given to Charles first, to Thomas in the high post, and then to Johnson...... It's too slow, and there's no chance of attacking at all. If he forcibly cut the basket, Mo Xi looked at Charles, and then looked behind him, this space was not enough for Charles to go through the back door.

Mo Xi hesitated after getting the ball, Mutombo raised his eyebrows, pressed hard in his hand, pressed forward, and passed the ball straight to the front, and the eagles scored easily.

After the mistake, Mo Xi was even more nervous, and after receiving the ball again, he protected the ball this time, but he thought about it many times, only to feel that no matter how he thought about the other party, he could easily defend it, and seeing that half of the time had passed, he still handed the ball to Charles again.

Charles received the ball and pulled it very lightly, got a better passing space, and gave the ball to Johnson in the diagonal high position, Johnson relied on his physical advantage to chisel in a few times, and fell to the waist position, his body turned lightly, as if he was about to shoot, Mutombo hesitated, as if he wanted to make up for the defense, but saw Johnson pass the ball to Sprewell, who rushed into the basket, but did not shoot directly, just hit the Eagle's inside body.

Although the ball was still fouled by Mutombo, it still caused damage to the Eagles, and Sprewell managed to stand on the free throw line.

Taking advantage of the free throws, Johnson said to Mo Xi: "Don't think so much about playing, it's not like you're doing math, learn to use your feelings." ”

Mo Xi nodded as if he didn't understand.

On the other hand, in the face of the Knicks' steel defense, the group-focused eagles used up twenty-four seconds and did not find a suitable opportunity to make a hurried shot.

The Knicks attacked again, and this time Charles didn't give the ball to Moxi, and directly threw it away from the defender, wanting to take advantage of the Hawks' unstable foothold to make an aerial relay. It's a pity that this ball was too sudden, and his teammates were not ready, giving the opponent a mistake in vain.

The Hawks attacked again, and this time it put the Knicks under pressure.

Although the first half is exactly the same, it is different after the shot. The ball still didn't go in, but Mutombo seemed to see that his teammates couldn't open the situation, so he stood up, squeezed out of Moxi's card position, and picked up the rebound with Thomas. The basket played a small board, didn't go in, grabbed it again and hit again, and finally went in. With two rebounds in a row, Mutombo made a big run in the Knicks.

It's a pity that this ball didn't open up the momentum of the Hawks, and soon the Knicks returned a violent dunk to the opponent.

Mo Xi and Johnson's high and low cooperation, Mo Xi leaned on Mutombo, and the opponent was entangled under the basket, suddenly learned Johnson's appearance, hit the ground and passed, Johnson used his strong shoulders to squeeze away the opposing player, received the ball and strode into the basket, dunk successfully. Mutombo's arms stretched out long through the ink, but it was difficult for him to defend effectively.

This goal was played, and Mo Xi seemed to be a little enlightened.

In the next few rounds, Mutombo tried his best to grab the rebound in the front court, but only grabbed one and did not score yet.

On the Knicks' side, although Mo Xi is still very immature as a low-post strategy, under the guidance of Johnson and Charles, he is also barely able to give full play to his advantages.

There are two great advantages to the low post strategy, one is that you are an excellent low post attacker, and the opponent sometimes has to consider the pack, so that when there is an open space, the ball can be transferred by the pack; The second is that the opponent has an excellent interior defender, whether it is a single defense or a co-defense is very good, and it is not enough to mobilize him by pulling out the inside line, so a low-post playmaker can be a good opponent. Van Gundy arranged for the latter.

The score was quickly tied and Mutombo felt aggrieved, and it was difficult for him to help defend in this situation. Wilkens was also uncomfortable, this time it directly smashed on the biggest weakness of the Eagles, the Eagles' inside line was too poor, basically Mutombo was supported by himself, when Mutombo was involved, others really couldn't do anything, just a few minutes, the Eagles' bench had already fouled twice before, even the coach had to say: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”

Mo Xi received the ball again, this time in a position that was neither high nor low, and after a few balls, he found that this position was the most uncomfortable place for Mutombo, and it seemed that he could help defend in all directions, but in fact he could only sigh.

But this one, Mo Xi has a bad mind.

After a few successful strategies, Mutombo did not dare to start rashly, he knew that his little junior brother had a good brain and learned everything quickly, and this kind of work that did not require a lot of practice but tested his vision and imagination was very suitable for him.

Mo Xi suddenly made a feint to pass the ball, Mutombo hurriedly let go of Mo Xi, and after taking a step back, he found that Mo Xi didn't make a move, and he still grabbed it in his hand, and hurried back.

Even a defender like Mutombo was in a hurry and couldn't react, Mo Xi saw that Mutombo was unstable and lightly topped it, pushed away Mutombo, and at the same time turned around and accelerated to the basket with great strides, and his right hand was round against the basket is a side buckle, and after landing, he was happy and roared at the camera.

Suddenly, the Knicks' bench erupted in enthusiastic applause.

It's the first time Moxi dunks in front of Mutumbo. Perhaps after being by Ewing's side for too long, Mo Xi began to gradually reveal a brutalist temperament. But to be honest, Mo Xiwen was quiet and quiet, but he had a bit of a college professor's style, which was really different from Ewing's violent style of the eastern beast. This has also become one of the reasons why Mo Xi always goes to the library in the future, and his temperament is too similar for others to recognize.

Wilkens called a timeout with a very unsightly face, the Hawks have a big problem right now, the offense is shaky, the defense is porous, and although the score has been hanging there, the Eagles have a hard time finishing the game.

Van Gundy was very satisfied, but he still replaced Mo Xi, and then it was time for the main players, Van Gundy's discipline in this regard is very important, and this situation can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

Both Van Gundy and Wilkens thought of a lot of countermeasures for the next game, but none of them worked.

Sprewell, who had already played a handful of feelings, suddenly broke out and took over the game again. With a whopping nineteen free throws, Sprewell scored 31 points and scored 30+ points in two consecutive games.

The game was easily won by the Knicks, and the Hawks were beaten twice.

What Wilkens tried so hard to avoid still happened, being beaten twice away in a row, still the eighth team in the East, the Hawks' momentum fell to the bottom, and the old coach had to try his best to win back a city in New York.
