Although the Knicks' "MA" combination is a hard power comparison, Arenas has to drag a lot back, but from another point of view, Arenas doesn't have to defend against Kobe Bryant at all, although he can't prevent it, and with Kobe's gradual growth, the "OK" combination is no longer as pure as in the past, or Kobe Bryant began to compete with O'Neal intentionally or unintentionally for the ball, their combination may be stronger, but the tacit understanding is not as good as the previous two seasons, in this regard, Mo Xi and Arenas are slightly ahead, It was this subtle advantage that allowed the Knicks to stabilize the situation on the court after Kobe Bryant came on the court, and at halftime, the Knicks led the Lakers by five points at 47:42.

At the beginning of the second half, Van Gundy did not directly use the Knicks' bulldozer lineup, but replaced it with an ordinary starting lineup, after all, the Knicks are used to playing slow-paced games, and rashly accelerating will make players feel uncomfortable.

Mo Xi has already cut 20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block in the first half of the amazing data, many people still remember that O'Neal cut 40+ in a row in the finals is to face Mo Xi, including a 40+15 masterpiece, is this time to be a good reincarnation?

However, before the fans could think about it, the situation on the field had already caught everyone's attention, and people didn't have time to think about other things.

Mo Xi is unscrupulous on the field.

Rampant on the pitch where O'Neill is still there.

No one expected this to be the case.

There was nothing remarkable at the beginning of the third stanza, but after three minutes passed, people were surprised to find that there was a man on the field, like an ancient beast of the wilderness, or rather, the beast was out of the cage.

Mo Xi asked for the ball in the low position, everything seemed so natural, just like the goals Mo Xi had scored before, but the moment Mo Xi got the ball, O'Neill suddenly found that things were not quite right, Mo Xi, Mo Xi seemed to be a little wrong.

Turn around, take a low step, and rush straight into the basket.

Mo Xi turned around and passed O'Neal lightly, even O'Neal's rookie season had never had such a humiliating moment, and he was actually treated as if he were nothing.

O'Neill himself knew that in the battle just now, he was completely at a disadvantage.

In the first step, Mo Xi used his lower body strength to forcibly stuck on the outside of O'Neal's right leg, and at the same time leaned on O'Neill to turn around, O'Neill could retreat calmly, first avoiding Mo Xi's first wave of passing and then defending, but Mo Xi's palm was pressed on O'Neal's waist, using his instant explosive power to push O'Neill away, O'Neill wanted to stretch out his arm to resist, but Mo Xi's force was too fast, too urgent, O'Neill didn't wait for the strength to be used, Mo Xi had already stepped out and forcibly passed O'Neill.

The Lakers' basket was blank, and people believed in O'Neal's low-post defensive ability, never expected O'Neal to be eaten raw by Moxi, and he ate it so easily.

Mo Xi squatted slightly, lifted his body, rose into the air, and split the buckle with one hand to complete the attack.

Unlike the combination of Mo Xi and Arenas in the second quarter, Mo Xi started his own rhythm directly in the third quarter.

This rhythm is offensive and defensive.

O'Neal wanted to turn around and return to Mo Xi, and he did sit in the low post, but what he didn't expect was that Mo Xi's defense was very tough, and he firmly stared at O'Neal, and the two began to wrestle on the side of the basket.

However, due to the five-second limit on his back, O'Neal had to withdraw his strength early, and with a light foot, he quickly turned around and swung his arms, intending to solve the ink with a hook.

However, O'Neal's lower hand was always killed by Mo Xika, O'Neal's hook hand did not fully complete the action, and this hook hand was too powerful, and it bounced out directly on the back edge of the basket.

Mo Xi turned around and blocked O'Neal and grabbed the defensive rebound, but because Mark Jackson was on the court, the Knicks' first choice was not a fast break, but a steady advance.

Mo Xi singled O'Neill again, and it was the same position again, but this time he didn't seem to plan to use the same offensive routine, Mo Xi shook a little, pulled outward, and then quickly leaned in, and hit O'Neill fiercely, bullied further, lowered the center of gravity, and used his excellent core strength to bully strongly, but Mo Xi did not take advantage of this moment, but as O'Neill just did, his footsteps moved sideways, a light turn, and left O'Neal's side directly, leaning outward, At the same time, a hook is thrown.

O'Neill tried to press it, but was blocked by Moxi's shoulder, and Moxi scored the goal with ease.

O'Neill was a little annoyed, even Olajuwon hadn't beaten me like that back then.

O'Neal is flexible, strong and good enough in small skills, it can be said that after O'Neal's real peak, he has never met a person who can suppress him, even Duncan that year, he only took advantage of some shrinking seasons, after all, everyone understands O'Neal's habits.

And now, Mo Xi actually beat O'Neill a little helpless.

The angry O'Neal is really like a shark that smells blood, he began to fight back, O'Neal and Mo Xi are the same as Mo Xi, they are typical representatives of the center's strong attack and weak defense, but O'Neill is unwilling to divide his energy, and Mo Xi does have some flaws.

O'Neal is violent, Mo Xi frowned, this time the hard block can't be stopped, but Mo Xi has one thing that O'Neill can't compare, although O'Neal's ball quotient is also very high, but compared to Mo Xi, it is a little insignificant.

O'Neal wanted to squeeze the first step out of the way, but then quickly turned and rushed to the basket, ending the fight with a basket hanging.

However, Mo Xi actually boldly withdrew the chair directly when O'Neal took the first step, Mo Xi moved sideways, and easily snatched the ball from O'Neal's hand, Mo Xi seemed to intend to dominate both offensive and defensive ends from here.

Mo Xi continued to single O'Neal, still in the previous position, which made O'Neill a little irritable, he never understood why he suddenly couldn't prevent Mo Xi, if Mo Xi suddenly changed his playing style, he would have endured it, but Mo Xi's style is obviously the same as in the past!

Wait a minute!

The style is the same as in the past?

Mo Xi Sigma turned around, his eyes swept, and found that O'Neal's position was close to the bottom line, and he didn't want to quickly accelerate from the internal test, a lunge, stepped over O'Neal, and at the same time blocked O'Neal with half of his body, and the other hand dribbled the ball, and then grabbed the ball with one hand, and directly split the dunk.

Another heavy dunk, and the Lakers don't seem to be able to stop Mo Xi at all.

O'Neill also understood a little at this time, Mo Xi's style has not changed, what has changed is Mo Xi's technical characteristics, and now Mo Xi has been mellow and penetrated to use his body to create space advantages, which is somewhat like his own style of play, but Mo Xi is faster.

O'Neill was a little annoyed, he knew that he couldn't stop him, and the next game would be decided by the situation of the attack.
