Chapter 6: The first win of the season

"Mr. Mo, how do you think you performed in the first half?" During halftime, Van Gundy asked Moxi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Obviously, Mo Xi instantly understood what Van Gundy meant, this is not to praise him, but to warn against Mo Xi's various offensive options in the first half, in Van Gundy's team basketball, it is not that there is no strong inside play, but unless in very special circumstances, he will not allow you to play continuously inside without tactical cooperation.

Mo Xi lowered his head directly and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, on a whim, the hand wind was too smooth, so I didn't think about it so much." ”

For the coach's training, Mo Xi is really in his heart, the coach in the 90s is not the status of leaving the class for a casual reason now, many coaches are really at the helm of the team, besides, in the first half of the game, it is indeed Mo Xi's performance did not follow the coach's arrangement, although the performance is good, but it is indeed very different from the coach's requirements, Van Gundy did not directly replace him on the field is already based on his performance is really good.

In the first half, both sides played at a fast pace, which was somewhat out of the Knicks' rhythm, which Van Gundy would never allow, so in the second half, Ward's priority was undoubtedly to bring the tempo down and get back to the Knicks' usual rhythm.

The Knicks' usual way to win is to press death at a slow pace, using defense to push the opponent into the abyss little by little, grinding the opponent away like a grinding wheel.

At the start of the second half, Randy Whitman made a few small adjustments.

The coach of the East hates the state of blowing each other, in the East where defense is believed, the explosion means losing the game, and Randy Whitman will never allow Kemp to continue to blow up with Mo Xi in the second half, and simply use some small routines.

Mo Xi has indeed practiced a good body now, but according to Whitman's observation in the first half, Mo Xi is still very bad at using his body, at best, he uses his strength to squeeze the opponent, and there are no matching technical moves at all. The reason why Mo Xi and Kemp were able to explode each other in the first half can only be said that Kemp's temperament is too straight.

At the start of the second half, Whitman made some minor changes, with veteran Danny Ferry coming on to focus on Moxi. Even though Danny Ferry is only six feet ten inches tall, he also weighs more than 230 pounds, and more importantly, as a white interior lineman, he performs on the court like his predecessors, for example, Ranbir.

In the second half, the Knicks' tempo gradually slowed down, and the offensive focus was also put on the outside, and Bob Soula was only beaten through whether he faced either Sprewell or Houston.

Ward handed the ball straight to Sprewell, whose impact and vision were undoubtedly a perfect fit for the Knicks' style of offense.

Sprewell faced Bob Sulla, looking very casual, but with a bit of a non-angry and arrogant posture, he glared at the other party fiercely, seeing Bob Sulla's heart furious, and before he could react, Spreville took a cross step and changed direction to pass Bob Sulla.

Seeing that he was easily passed, Bob Sula was not annoyed, but seemed to have a somewhat indifferent posture, watching Sprewell go straight to the inside.

Camp was quick to make up for it.

Sprewell didn't hold it up, and the cross pass was transferred to Houston in the corner, Houston was a little dead, didn't shoot, and transferred to Larry Johnson, who pulled outside the three-point line, Johnson hit a three-point shot.

The Knicks' offense is a weird thing, and sometimes it's so slow that you want to go down and throw that damn basketball to the basket yourself, but sometimes, the Knicks can play a very fluid transfer ball and make the final hit.

But the Cavaliers' offense left Cleveland fans a little devastated. There is no shortage of offensive players in the Cavaliers' lineup, Kemp and Bob Soula are all good players, but there is not enough to see how to break down the Knicks' pressing defense, in fact, there are only two people who can be called shooters, Bob Soula and Wesley Person, and there is only one Bob Soula on the court now.

After the substitution, Camp faced Johnson. Despite his age, with his muscles and agile footwork, Kemp was stunned and couldn't get any scoring opportunities in front of Johnson.

Camp received the ball on the left side, first hit Johnson with his shoulder, hit it twice, and received a hidden elbow from Johnson, Camp forced a breakthrough in anger, but under Johnson's block, Camp could only move laterally, and it didn't take a few steps because Johnson's strong body had to stop to protect the ball first. Reluctantly, Kemp passes the ball to Bob Sula behind him.

But Bob Sula is facing the offensive and defensive Sprewell, in this era of the retirement of the gang leader, Sprewell's performance makes him close to dominance in the position of scoring guard, such as the direct dialogue with Iverson last season, Iverson only had a 29-point high-score explosion, and the remaining three games were all killed by Sprewell's defense, scoring only 20, while Sprewell himself frequently cut 20+ in the sixth man position.

When he was young, Bob Sula was not a purebred shooter, and at this time he preferred to split the face frame, but in the face of Sprewell's defense, Bob Sula felt a little at a loss.

Can't get by, no chance at all, Bob Sula can't help but beat a drum in his heart. Bob Sula shook his shoulders slightly, and Sprewell was unmoved. Bob Sula had no choice but to force his speed to the left, only to find that Spreville had already blocked there, Bob Sula gritted his teeth and quickly changed direction, he felt that this might be the fastest change of direction for himself.

As a result, it was very fast, but Sprewell waved his hand heavily and cut the ball from Bob Sulla's hand, which shook Bob Sulla's palm.

Sprewell was in the dust, flying up, his straight arms buckled.

Although the Knicks have been suppressing the Cavaliers on the field, the score of the two sides did not pull away again, but stopped at a position of about ten points. Part of this is because the Knicks' rhythm has slowed down, the number of rounds is less, and the point difference is not so wide, and the other part is that in the Knicks' interior line, Moxi's offense has been suppressed.

Danny Ferry did everything he could to make Mo uncomfortable. Step on the feet, top the waist eyes, and scratch the armpits...... Anything goes. Although Mo Xi has been playing in New York for some time in the hard-liner team in the league, in fact, it has not even been a year, and Mo Xi is a little overwhelmed in the face of Danny Fee's stubborn defensive style, despite the physical advantage, Danny Ferry can always make Mo Xi uncomfortable. Obviously he is in an overwhelming position, but Danny Ferry can make it difficult for him to shoot.

Seeing that Van Gundy had brought Camby to the sidelines off the field, Mo Xi knew that he only had one chance, and in an attack, Mo Xi finally ushered in another offensive opportunity, even a great offensive opportunity.

Houston hit the ground and passed to Ward, Ward came to the flank, hoisted it to Moxi, and Moxi handed the ball to Johnson above, Johnson held the ball high with both hands, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he threw the ball hard with both hands and flew straight to the basket.

Under the basket, Mo Xi squeezed Danny Ferry away with his excellent physical fitness, and a large area was vacated under the basket, and the ball flew directly towards Mo Xi.

"Drop~" a whistle sounded.

Mo Xi's face was dark, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but although Danny Ferry was squeezed away, he was full of tenacity and pounced directly before Mo Xi received the ball and hugged Mo Xi.

This ball is not a shooting foul, just an ordinary foul. Also taking advantage of this dead ball, Camby replaced Moxi.

A few minutes before the end, Mo Xi got another chance to play, but it was still Danny Ferry who defended him, and Mo Xi still did not find the most effective means.

At the end of the game, the Knicks easily won the first game of the season at their home court 94:80, this time, as a starter, Mo Xi performed quite well, 17 points and 8 rebounds, functionally speaking, it did make up for the lack of interior offense caused by Ewing's injury, but the performance in the second half was a little sleepwalking, but the Knicks fans are still very generous, after all, this is just a little ghost, he still has a long way to go.
