With the excellent play of the bench, the Knicks led the 76ers by as many as 14 points in the first half, which was only obtained after Iverson came on the court and struggled to catch up, otherwise the number would have been even greater.

At the end of the first half, Mo Xi cut 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, with a shooting rate of 60%, which is habitually amazing.

Throughout the first half, in addition to Mo Xi, the Knicks had a performance that was really stunned, and even Van Gundy himself didn't expect it.

After a dormant period throughout the regular season, Gilbert Arenas finally ushered in his own outburst, seven of eight in the half, two of two three-pointers, plus three rebounds and three assists, he became the most dazzling person in the entire Knicks under Moxi, and even, in the eyes of many people who are used to Moxi's performance, Arenas is now more eye-catching.

The spirit of New York has always flaunted freedom and hard work, and New Yorkers have always believed that if you work hard enough, a newspaper delivery person can sit on the top floor of the Empire State Building. The current leader of the Knicks, Mo Xi, is the perfect embodiment of the New York dream, and because of this, Mo Xi is deeply loved by the people of New York, who believe that it is like a portrayal of New York, and they can always find their own sustenance in him.

And now, there is one more such figure, and that is Arenas.

A second-round pick that was forgotten in the corner, and all of a sudden, a blockbuster, no matter how the game won or lost, at least the New Yorkers remembered that the Knicks still had a zero;

Iverson's expression was a little serious, if he cherished a person, the outcome of this game would still be five-five, even if the Knicks still have characters like Sprewell and Houston, but they are already outdated old guys in Iverson's eyes, people who live under the shadow of No. 23 in the last era are destined to have no future, and now, the Knicks have one more outside firepower point, and it faintly corresponds to himself, it can be said that he even has to devote some of his energy to defense, But Arenas doesn't have such concerns, because Arenas thinks that even if you can score on my head, I can hit it back, and with a bunch of Knicks defenders behind him to help him make up for it, it can be said that he is unscrupulous.

At the start of the second half, Van Gundy made his boldest substitution of the playoffs, dropping Arenas to the starting line-up for Mark Jackson. Although he is nominally a point guard, he is actually directly opposite Iverson, both offensive and defensive, although his defensive ability is not qualified even by the coach of the West, but Van Gundy does not expect him to be able to prevent Iverson, after all, even Sprewell can't prevent the current Iverson, he has only one purpose, to replace Iverson's point, and lock the scoring point in other positions, which is a flexible application of Jordan's rule.

As the best coach of the last era, Larry Brown naturally saw the Knicks' tactical intentions at a glance, but for this kind of defense, there are only two ways to solve it, one is to have an excellent second-in-command, and the other is to let Iverson solve it himself, and there is only one way in front of the 76ers.

At the start of the second half, Iverson came directly to the Knicks with a combination punch, but the Knicks played a set of Tai Chi punches with great beauty.

After Iverson scored, the Knicks continued their offensive pace, using a walk-through offensive rhythm to wear down the 76ers' offensive will.

When Mo Xi received the ball in the low position, there were fifteen seconds left in the offensive time, and after three or four seconds of grinding, Mo Xi passed the ball out again, at this time Arenas wanted to shoot directly, but when he met Mo Xi's serious eyes, he was suddenly a little stunned, and he still hoisted the ball to Mo Xi again.

However, this time Mo Xi was pushed out by Mutombo, which made people feel very weird, Mo Xi has never fallen behind in the power duel with Mutombo. This makes people instinctively feel that there is fraud in it.

Mo Xi really lived up to people's speculation, after receiving the ball, he used the space pulled out, turned around in one step, and directly passed Mutombo, and at the same time used his shoulders to resist the opponent, pressing Mutombo to go inside.

Iverson hurriedly moved to the inside to wrap Mo Xi, and at this time, Mo Xi directly shook his hand and distributed the ball to Arenas on the outside, Arenas was already impatient, and after receiving the ball, he shot directly and hit another three-point shot.

For this kind of ball, Arenas thinks he is still very sure, although he thinks he has no problem beating Iverson hard, but after all, Mo Xi is his brother for many years and the boss of the team, and this bit of face still needs to be given.

The Knicks' inside and outside offense has only just begun.

Next, Arenas and Mercy came to a pick-and-roll cooperation, and Arenas directly got rid of Iverson's defense with the help of Mercy's cover and plunged into the basket.

However, Arenas played a little too anxious with this ball, and Mutombo's defense is not something that anyone can look down on, let alone Arenas in the first grade. Mutombo made a substitution defense, and when he saw Arenas break through and rush directly to the inside, he turned around, stepped forward, and pinned the ball to the rebound with one palm.

With this ball as a lesson, Arenas converged a lot, and then with Mo Xi with a high-quality block, but Arenas's breakthrough was not as fierce as just now, after a sudden step, the space was further opened, and the ball was directly transferred horizontally, to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi pushed Iverson away, turned around after receiving the ball, dodged Mutombo's defensive range, and faced the 76ers' defense player with a double closing and dunk.

Back then, the Utah Twins of the Dominant Alliance relied on this hand to block and dismantle, so that the heroes of the world were tied, except for a certain person, of course. Now, although the cooperation between Arenas and Mo Xi is still a little rusty, the deterrent effect is out.

Next, when defending the Knicks' pick-and-roll, Mutombo began to hesitate. Once he makes up for Arenas, then there can be said to be an open field in front of Moxi, and the best way to do this is for Iverson to go around.

But this time Iverson really went around the back, but they were greeted by Arians' decisive shot, and after blocking and dismantling with Moxi, seeing that Mutombo did not step forward, Arenas directly stopped and jumped. Although it is a pity that this goal was not scored, it shocked the 76ers into a cold sweat

The Knicks had been a traditional "in-out" tactic that everyone in the East knew about before, and when they suddenly switched to a tactic, it was a bit of a surprise.

Larry Brown snorted coldly off the court, this tactic is actually just a change of soup and not a change of medicine, the core point is still Mo Xi, but with the addition of Arenas. That being said, the old man is also a little embarrassed now, and before he knows it, the big man who fell down as soon as he hit it back then has become a super center that even Mutombo can't restrict.

The 76ers were completely distracted by the Knicks in the third quarter, and Larry Brown decisively gave up the game and replaced the unwilling Iverson early.

The Knicks won Game 2 without blood, and the two sides will move to Philadelphia next. 21010
