George Karl relied on his excellent personality charm and the simplicity of offensive tactics to mobilize the enthusiasm of players in the second half of the schedule to lead the Knicks can be called a turn of the tide, running in the Knicks' new offensive system, in the last 40 games, the Knicks 34-6, if it were not for the Knicks' performance under the new tactics is still a little rusty, I am afraid their record will be better.

Now the Knicks are heading into the final game of the regular season. The Knicks' final game will not be on the final day of the regular season, but on the penultimate day, when they will host the Indiana Pacers. This is a very classic showdown, where rivals gather.

However, the enemy at this time is not the enemy of the year, Ewing is no longer there, Johnson is gone, Reggie Miller is still there, but Miller at this moment is no longer the team's first scoring point, the core of the team. Now, both the Knicks and the Pacers have handed over the core of their teams to the young center. One is Mo Xi, who has proven himself in the Finals and brought back the championship trophy that he has lost for nearly three decades for the Knicks, and the other is Jermaine O'Neal, who has been suppressed by Mo Xi since he came to the East and cannot turn over.

Jermaine O'Neal is also a masterpiece of the 96 generation, and he bears the surname O'Neal, which has attracted people's attention. It's just that he is not a draft in the lottery area, only the seventeenth pick, and in the four years of the Trail Blazers, Jermaine O'Neal has not made great progress, and even compared to other 96 first-round picks, it seems so insignificant, coupled with the chaos within the Trail Blazers at the time, O'Neal Jr. can be said to have almost no chance of coming out of the Trail Blazers, but fate is sometimes so magical, O'Neal Jr. ushered in one of the most important turning points in his life, He was traded to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Dale Davis. Just when the Portlanders were complacent, O'Neal Jr.'s 00-01 season began his small outburst, and the Portlanders began to get nervous, and in the following season, in the 01-02 season, O'Neal Jr. was among the 20+10 clubs and became the winner of the Most Improved Player Award, this time, the Trail Blazers went crazy. Originally, it seemed that O'Neal Jr. should have gone from this corner and flew from the sky, but unfortunately, in the east where Mutombo was old and Mourning was injured, another super center was born, and Mo Xi's dazzling brilliance made O'Neal Jr. lose his color and become a shadow behind Mo Xi.

The feud between the Pacers and the Knicks, coupled with the constant comparison, makes O'Neal Jr. try his best to beat Mo Xi every time, but it seems that he has never succeeded, even if sometimes the Pacers can win, but O'Neal Jr. can't beat Mo Xi, and even was completely crushed by Mo Xi for a time, counting last season, O'Neal Jr. faced Mo Xi's game, averaging only 17.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 1.3 blocks per game, and the shooting rate was only 43%, far below his season average. However, Mo Xi was able to easily cut 27.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 blocks, and the shooting rate was as high as 53%, which was already a complete blow to O'Neal Jr.

However, O'Neill Jr. has never admitted defeat, no matter how many times he has lost to Mo Xi, the next time they meet, he always has the same determination and desire to win, and even this feeling becomes stronger and stronger with time.

This is the last time they've met this season, and O'Neal Jr. wants to breathe a sigh of relief.

The current Pacers are almost complete with the best template they have in mind, O'Neal Jr., Harrington, Artest, Miller, Tinsley plus Ron Mersel, Klohill and Tim Hardaway on the bench, such a lineup is no worse than the Knicks' current roster, and it can even be said that this is really a matchup.

In terms of point guards, Tinsley was the only point guard in front of Arenas in the original draft (there was only one point guard in the first round of that draft, and that was Tinsley); In terms of quarterbacks, the captains on both sides don't need to say much; In terms of small forwards, these are two people who are indistinguishable in temper and are also very similar in terms of technology; At power forward, Harrington and Wallace are both the kind of aggressive No. 4 positions, but their styles are one inside and one outside; As for the center, it is even more needless to say. Moreover, in this game, the Knicks also have a decorated veteran of the Pacers that year, Dale Davis. Therefore, the game has not even started, and it has already been scheduled to be broadcast live in the United States.

There are still many teams struggling for a playoff spot as the playoffs approach, but these two teams have secured their playoff spots early, and this game is more important to them than just a win.

In the Knicks' locker room, George Carr began his pre-war mobilization.

"I think you should know better what this game is about than me, a half-baked coach who took over the team in the middle of the game. I'm not going to focus too much on this game because I know you definitely want to win more than I do, and it's much easier for me to ask of you. Ruthless - ruthless - beaten - opposite - face - dog - mother - raise - of! It's not a race! It's a war! In this game, I allow you to fight more ferociously, and there is only one hard demand, to press everyone in Indiana to the ground and bully! ”

George Carr's face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyeballs were protruding outward, making people look so frightened.

There are few good people in the Knicks' group, and under the education of the coach, they are like bulls in estrus, exuding a compelling heat all over their bodies, and the crowd is excited, although there are only a dozen people, they are performing the momentum of Causeway Bay.

"Roar~"

"Hack them to death~"

"Hack to death the Indy~"

With an earth-shattering roar, the Knicks played, not like in the past, one by one, this time, the Knicks actually rushed out, and they were stunned to see the commentary, but this rugby-like way of playing seems to be right in the atmosphere of the war at the moment, this is the death match between the Knicks and the Pacers, not a fight of one person, this way of playing, obviously more exciting the blood of the players.

Fortunately, the number of basketball players is small, and the on-site DJ will not let his team weaken the momentum, and directly change his voice, from a single player to the Knicks, and then on the way to the Knicks, he used his fastest speed and loudest volume to shout everyone's name. Combined with the momentum of New York's home stadium, the arrogant Knicks seem to be like a demon army rushing out of hell, and they are unscrupulously bullying men and women against the Pacers.

A mighty battle for the eastern enemy is about to begin.
