Chapter 151: Who are the best attackers in the alliance
The Knicks had a slight advantage in the opening period, but when the Kings eased up and played their offense, the scene became even more exciting.
Webber began to fall into the low post, and when Bibby hoisted the ball to Webber, Webber didn't even look at it and shoved it behind him. Although Stojakovic is an excellent shooter, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have other offensive means, Stojakovic cut diagonally from the baseline, directly received Webb's pass, raised his hand and hit a rebound, Sprewell's defense is in place, but he has a height disadvantage after all, and Stojakovic's defense is still a little laborious, especially if the opponent is still a non-ball attacker who is longer than running.
As soon as the king finished attacking, the Knicks responded.
Mo Xi and Arenas once again cooperated in the high position, this time Divac blocked Mo Xi strongly, not allowing him to easily enter the basket again, Mo Xi was blocked, and failed to enter the basket at the first time, but his cover quality was very high, Bibi was blocked and lost the first defensive position, Arenas saw a broad road in front of him, and it was directly an acceleration impact basket.
When Mo Xi saw Arenas hit the basket, it was directly like a sideways move, intending to pull space for Arenas, and so did Wallace, who withdrew from the low post to the bottom corner.
Arenas made an easy layup.
The king attacked again.
Divac responded in the high post, first handing the ball to Webber who ran from the flank, at this time Mo Xi and Wallace immediately switched defenses, Mo Xi left Divac and came to Webber, Wallace changed defense Divac.
Webb didn't stop after receiving the ball, immediately dribbling to the flank, and one turned to try to pass Moxi, but was blocked by Moxi and forced to go into the back to protect the ball.
But at this time, Bibi ran out, and it was another hand-to-hand pass, and Bibi came to the bottom corner and raised his hand to shoot.
Arenas was shaken straight up, and Bibby broke through.
Mo Xi quickly let go of Webb and returned to the basket.
Bibby's eyes narrowed, and he passed the ball to Webber with a blow in the middle of the journey.
Wallace had made a prediction in advance, but the movement of his feet was still a beat slower, the ball slipped in front of Wallace's hand, Webb received the ball, and directly hit a jumper, which hit steadily.
The Knicks attacked again.
This time, Arenas relied on the double blocking of Mo Xi and Wallace to easily shake off Bibby's defense, and Arenas directly made a pull-up jump shot and hit the shot.
However, then Bibby beat Arenas to win, and the Kings caught up with the score.
Seeing this, Arenas was naturally angry, and immediately planned to fight back against Bibby.
Once again, Moxi mentions the high position to cover for Arenas, but this time it's a fake cover.
Arenas first moved in the direction of Moxi, and then suddenly made an accelerated feint, Bibi thought that Arenas was going to use Moxi's cover again, and hurriedly went around the back to defend, but at this time, Arenas suddenly changed direction sharply, directly pulled the ball back, and rushed into the inside from the other side.
Webber was ambushed on one side, while his eyes were watching Wallace from time to time to prevent the opponent's ball, and when he saw Arenas jumping, Webber saw the opportunity and flew into the air in an attempt to block.
However, Webber's defense is worse than Moxi, he relies more on his own talent, rather than pure defensive ability, this injury, he did not have much impact on other aspects of the time, but in defense, it is very large.
Arenas easily pulled a lever, dodged Webb's block, and scored a cricket kick.
However, all three balls in a row were brought directly by Arenas to the front court to end the attack, which made others still feel a little uncomfortable, especially Mo Xi and Wallace, the two extremely attacking insiders, who were completely switchback in these three rounds.
The Kings don't have those concerns, and it's still a good team attack.
Divac and Webb mentioned the high post at the same time, the basket was completely vacuumed, and Bibby began to break through directly, which is rare under the King's offensive system, but it also ended here, Bibby still chose to pass the ball to Webb, who also hit the basket, when he burst into the basket.
However, Wallace did not lose his defensive position, and kept in front of Webber's side, Webb received the ball with a small tentative step feint, and then in a tight area actually crossed past Wallace.
Webb couldn't make a move, though, as Sprewell quickly leaned in and forced Webb to do so.
Webber couldn't shoot comfortably, but fortunately, Bibby was still under the basket, seeing this, Bibby went out, received Webb's pass, and didn't look at people, and the moment he received the ball, he passed the ball out again and gave it to the vacant Stojakovic.
Houston hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, but there was also a huge gap between his height and Stojakovic, who took the ball and shot directly into three points, completely ignoring Houston's interference.
With a "huh~", Stojakovic hit a three-point shot.
On the Knicks' side, Arenas still wanted to attack like before, but this time the Kings were ready early, although Wallace blocked Bibe, but Webb still easily followed Arenas, Arenas's layup was interfered with, and it bounced off the rebound.
Sprewell was going to rush for the rebound, but Stojakovic's size advantage was too great and he directly blocked Sprewell.
Seeing that the Kings were about to accept this defensive rebound, suddenly there was a thunderclap on the ground, and Mo Xi suddenly came out of the diagonal side, squeezed Stojakovic, and grabbed the offensive rebound.
Raising his head, Mo Xi hesitated, although he was in a mid-empty position, Mo Xi did not choose to shoot, but gave the ball to Houston, who came to the corner position.
Houston took a direct shot after receiving the pass and hit a mid-range shot.
In the first quarter, both sides played very quickly and fluently, and at the end of the first quarter, it was 35:36, and the Knicks had a slight lead of one point. These two teams are rare teams that are known for their flamboyance, and these two teams are famous for their offensive ability, and they also have this unknown super defensive ability, but this time, the defensive ability of both sides seems to have disappeared, the Knicks shot as high as 53% in the first quarter, and the Kings were not far behind, reaching 50%, and the three-point shot was 66.7%, and he hit four three-pointers in the first quarter alone, all from Stojakovic.
The fans watched it heartily, and the commentators shouted it vividly, such a wonderful duel is almost the same as an all-star.
Whether it's the Knicks or the Kings, they can be called the representative teams on the offensive end this season, but which one of them has the best firepower? It all seems to be about to be revealed today, and it just so happens that the main forces of both sides are present, and it will be interesting to see who is the best attacker in the league.
Mo Xi sat on the court, his eyes burning, he didn't perform much in the first quarter, four shots and two hits, four points, four boards and two assists, it looked decent, but under such a fast pace, it was a little not good enough. However, George Karl knows that for Moxi, he tends to prefer to let his teammates find his form in the first quarter, and then it's time for him to play.
