After just a week of intensive training, the 98-99 regular season is finally about to begin, and before the official start of the game, the Knicks began an intra-team practice game to determine the position of the bench. After all, the strength of the starting five is good enough, and the starting position will not change unless there is an injury.

In this way, the training match related to the survival of the remaining ten people began.

Five members of the white team: center, Mo Xi; power forward, Herb Williams; small forward, Ben Davis; Shooting guard, Ratril Spreville; Point guard, Chris Charles.

BLU five: centre-forward, Chris Dudley; power forward, Marcus Camby; small forward, Dennis Scott; Shooting guard, David Wingate; Point guard, Rick Branson.

The simple comparison is that the white team is stronger on the outside and the blue team is better on the inside. However, the interior of the white team was a surprise player in Van Gundy's arrangement, and the blue team, especially Dennis Scott, was also a leading scorer in averaging more than 15 points per game as a young man. It can be said that it is indeed evenly matched.

As the opening whistle blew, Mo Xi and Dudley both jumped. With his height and reach, Mo Xi grabbed the ball and pointed it into Charles's hands.

Due to Ward's consistent performance, Charles can only sit firmly on the bench and has no strong competitors, so he doesn't care much about this training match.

But some people are different.

Sprewell took advantage of Williams' cover to run back and go out to ask for the ball. As a highly talented player, if it weren't for the angry "coach" at that time, it would not have reached the point where no one cares about it today.

Sprewell catches the ball, tentatively steps, suddenly starts, dribbles to the horn position, pulls up and throws after making a quick stop, and goes into the net in response, the whole action is done in one go, without the slightest dullness caused by not playing for a long time.

While Sprewell was known for his passion and desire to defend early in his career, no one underestimated his offensive prowess.

The ball is converted and the BLU team attacks.

Similar to the Whites, there's also a guy here who desperately needs to prove himself, Marcus Camby. However, Camby is a real inside wall, and it is really difficult for him to attack.

The offense is going to go on after all, and after several shifts, the ball came to Dudley, who, like all white centers, has a lot of mitоs to the ground, but his back-to-back shooting skills are excellent, which can be said to be the characteristic of the entire Knicks.

Dudley held the ball and leaned on Mo Xi, quickly dribbled, and pushed his body back, intending to turn around and lean back with the power of recoil, but unexpectedly, the impact that was not heavy actually squeezed away Mo Xi. Seeing this action, Dudley did not pause, turned around and split the buckle with one hand along the baseline.

No one was surprised by this, and in their opinion, it was almost common for rookies to be educated by veteran players, but Van Gundy frowned, as if he had found something undesirable.

The White attacked, and this time Sprewell didn't attack alone, putting the ball in Williams' hands and crossing with Charles. The player passed to Charles, who slipped to the outside to Spreville on the outside, who kept hitting the ball to the inserted Davis and picked up the basket.

The BLU team rotated several times after half-time, with Dennis Scott holding the ball in the corner position and misplaced to single Charles.

Scott made a slight touch to the left, tentatively stepped, and then hooked his left hand, dribbled behind his back, leaned on Charles and forced a break in the middle. However, just as he started, Leng Buding stretched out a hand from behind, pulled the ball down, and rode away.

"Bang~" Sprewell slammed the dunk.

Off the field, Van Gundy frowned and said to Thibodeau: "Dennis seems to have dropped quite a bit. ”

The BLU attacked again, this time noticeably slower, but noticeably more fluid, and Dudley's playmaking ability left Mo Xi a little overwhelmed. Dudley was hoisting the ball inside to make an inside pass with Camby, but unexpectedly, it was Sprewell who stepped up, stretched his long arm, and made a vertical leap to intercept the ball and start a fast break again.

Gradually, led by Sprewell, the white team's advantage gradually expanded, and Mo Xi also got the opportunity to perform.

Mo Xi received the ball on the right side of the low post, hit Dudley with his back, raised the ball to his shoulder, straightened his upper body, and suddenly grabbed the ball with his left hand and shook it behind him, making a gesture to pass.

Dudley retracted half a step with his hesitant left foot.

That is, when he received half a step, Mo Xi dribbled the ball behind his left hand, and the ball bypassed Dudley, while Mo Xi turned around and passed the ball and flexibly passed Dudley for a layup.

Van Gundy said approvingly: "It's not fast, but it's flexible and imaginative." ”

Ewing on the side listened to it, and also showed a rare smile for his junior brother, however, this smile was like a curse, and Mo Xi's performance after that was difficult to think of the ingenious center he had just made.

As if they had found a Roman road in the rainforest, the BLU team suddenly concentrated their attacking firepower on the inside.

Dennis played on the left flank in a misplaced position, and a three-threat posture made Mo Xi hesitate and did not know how to advance or retreat. Just when Mo Xi was still thinking about it, Dennis glanced at Mo Xi contemptuously, and then raised his hand to shoot, and hit the shot.

Mo Xi was a little overwhelmed for a moment, he felt that he didn't seem to be in the same rhythm as everyone, he seemed to be still in the rhythm of the university, slow like a snail.

On the offensive end, due to the excellent play of the previous goal, Charles once again hoisted the ball into the hands of the inside lineman, but this time, it was going to disappoint him.

Before Mo Xi could hold the ball steadily, he felt a strong push behind him, and his black and thick arm stretched out from behind him and cut the ball with one palm.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Mo Xi only felt that his hand was shaken and painful.

It turned out that Camby changed the defense, as the eye of the 96 list, Camby's excellent defense is also what the Knicks value, and he did not hesitate to exchange him for the meritorious veteran Oakley.

It seems that considering that the veteran Herb Williams is not much of a threat, Camby completely switched to mark Moxi, and suddenly, as if he disappeared on the offensive end, he was lost in Camby's muscle strangulation.

Weak positioning, monotonous offensive methods, poor coverage provided by a thin body, and almost no ability to protect the ball, so that Mo Xi could not contribute much on the offensive end, and even got in the way, Qiu was stuck at his point almost every time, or the ball was slow, or he was cut off by Camby.

Gradually, the white team began to ignore this point when attacking passes.

And on the defensive end, Mo Xi is like a black hole.

Although he lacks effective offensive means, Camby still has the most basic shooting ability under the basket of the center.

Mo Xi couldn't stand his position at all, and used all his strength to resist Camby's back, but still let the latter easily squeeze into the basket. And at this time, even though Mo Xi is taller and has a longer arm span, Canbi's wide body is blocked there, so that Mo Xi can't even interfere with the shot. On the contrary, it was Spreville on the other side, seeing that Mo Xi was tight here, and repeatedly came over to help defend people's eyes.

Even Dudley, Mo Xi seems to be a little unguarded. As a standard blue-collar interior lineman, Dudley's offensive ability is negligible in the eyes of most coaches, but even so, he still used various skills to score 9 points on Mo Xi's head.

For a while, Mo Xi was a little confused, he didn't know what he should do, or what he could do.

ended the training game in a mess, and Mo Xi didn't even listen to Van Gundy's instructions, with 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and 4 turnovers and 3 fouls.

In the locker room, Mo Xi packed everything and was about to go home, when he was suddenly stopped.

"Mo" put a strong hand on Mo Xi's shoulder.

Mo Xi looked back, and a brutalist face came into view, and it turned out to be Ewing.

Ewing pulled Mo Xi to sit down on a chair in the locker room and said, "You seem to be concerned about your performance today. ”

Mo Xi hesitated, hesitating, not knowing what to say.

Ewing didn't care about that, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, like I told you before, people who are new to the league in college will be a little difficult to keep up with at first, it's all-encompassing, whether you're a MOP (Most Outstanding Player of the American Collegiate Championship) or a role player. It doesn't matter if you play poorly, it's important to work hard and make up for your shortcomings. Mo, you have extraordinary talent, don't let the next innocuous training match discourage you. ”

Mo Xi's face gradually became a little bloody, he nodded lightly, and said: "Thank you, Pat (Patrick's nickname), I'm just a little unwilling, seeing that the people who participated in the draft in the same year as me have already achieved good results, I can't help it, I think I can do better." ”

Ewing had a slight smile on his face and said, "Mo, I'm glad you have such an idea. 96 years, it is indeed a generation of newcomers, and it may not be long before the alliance is your world. Don't worry, Mo, you just started a little later than they did. ”

The two talked for a while before leaving.

Seeing Mo Xi go away, Thibodeau suddenly stepped out from behind Ewing and said, "This is not your style, Pat, even though he is your junior." ”

It was a long time before Ewing said, "I'm old, Tom, this may be my last peak, and New York needs a new beast." ”

Xibodu paused for a moment, and then said: "It's really a high evaluation, I hope your vision is right." I hope I'll have a chance to see that time. ”

Mo Xi, who returned to the apartment, subconsciously wanted to throw himself on the bed, but suddenly a spirit slapped the wall and turned on the light.

In the dim yellow light, a beautiful figure slowly rose from the side of the bed.

"Cut" Moli pouted and said, "I wanted to surprise you, it's really boring." ”

Mo Xi was speechless for a while.

Mo Xi carefully organized the language and said, "What are you here for?" ”

Mo Liyu rolled his eyes wide and said, "Of course, it depends on whether you are starved to death." ”

Mo Xi was a little embarrassed, but also felt a little warm. What about Georgetown's top students, what about their ambitions, and how about being beaten by others, after all, they can't compete with a bowl of noodles. Mo Xi's biggest shortcoming from childhood to adulthood is that he can't take care of himself at all. Of course, daily living is still okay, but what kind of cooking, buying clothes and technical jobs really have nothing to do with him.

Moreyu winked playfully, and then said, "Of course, let's see if you have anything here that a boy's room should have." ”

So, sometimes, it's okay to be moved, and if you're serious, you'll lose.

"Okay," Mo Liyu patted Mo Xi's back and said, "Let's go eat first, you will go to a place with me tomorrow." ”

Recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, Mo Xi suddenly thought of this matter, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
