On this day, in Madison Square Garden, the cry of the New York gangsters sounded again, and this long-lost cry seemed to bring people back to the early nineties, when the New York gangs were rampant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAll of this is because of the return of the thirty-three.

Yes, Patrick Ewing, who has been away from the court for half a year, has finally returned, and his first game of his comeback is against the league's veteran team, the Boston Celtics. Although New York fans always complain about Ewing, when Ewing returns, the whole New York is still immersed in great joy, because the titan who has guarded Madison Square Garden for more than ten years is back.

Just walking on the court, Ewing got the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, Ewing raised his hands and greeted the fans, the waves of cheers were better than the waves, and the Boston Celtics who came from afar watched in silence as this seven-foot man echoed in his kingdom, instinctively, they felt a trace of fear, after all, this Celtics team is still very young, and the core is their twin stars, Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, the twin forwards of the Green Army.

Van Gundy thought about this game alone in his office for a long time, and after a long time of research, he finally decided to try the twin tower combination of Moxi and Ewing. This combination is very risky, first of all, the first point is that Mo Xi and Ewing are the kind of people who can get the greatest offensive threat in the low post, even if Ewing throws a shock alliance but can't change it, when Ewing is in the low post, he is the famous "Eastern Beast", the same way, the current Mo Xi seems to have developed a good face frame offensive ability, but Mo Xi's strongest point is still in the low post singles. In this way, both offensive centers of the Knicks must hold the ball in the low post to have the greatest deterrent. On the defensive end, the combination of these two people is completely inconsistent with Van Gundy's basketball philosophy, these two people are not the kind of strong rebounders, Ewing is only 12 rebounds even at his peak, and Mo Xi is not to mention, and on defense, both of them are the kind of traditional centers, and their personal marking ability is okay, but like other interior lines in the league, it is impossible to turn over the river and the sea, and it is impossible to live the opponent's defense. But it's a pity that the state of this period of time is really good, and it's a pity to abandon it. If Van Gundy had known the history of the East, he would have said something like this: "It is a pity to abandon the tasteless food." ”

The Knicks are known for their Real Madrid style and generally don't develop too much of their draft players, and Van Gundy has done his best to do what he is now.

At the beginning of the game, Mo Xi came to the position of power forward, against the current Celtics boss Antoine Walker. At this time, Antoine Walker was still expected by the Bostonians, his status in the team was far above Pierce, first-class physical talent, excellent touch, and the background of the famous Kentucky, Antoine Walker was almost the hope of Boston's revival.

Yes, he was devastated after the Green bullied the young gang leader that year, but because of this, it became the only team in those years to go undefeated in the playoffs.

The game starts with both sides jumping the ball.

The center of the Celtics is a Ukrainian, just an ordinary blue-collar player who weighs a whopping 280 pounds despite being only six feet ten inches tall. That didn't help him with his jump shot, though, and despite Ewing's age, he jumped off possession and the Knicks started the first wave of offense.

Ewing had just come back and was still a little stiff, but the Knicks decided to help Ewing build up the feel of the court first, after all, Ewing hadn't played with them for half a year.

Ward hoisted the ball straight to Ewing. Ewing squeezed on the inside, and the opponent stood firmly because of the weight advantage, Ewing couldn't squeeze the other party. Ewing's first attempt was fruitless, but he didn't give up and changed his style. Dangling from side to side again, Ewing shook his shoulders back and forth, and then used his thick body to hit backwards, borrowed the power to turn, and turned over for a jumper, the iconic "Ewing-shot".

Just back on the court, Ewing couldn't find that great touch, and his first turnaround jumper was big, almost throwing a three-no-dip.

At this time, Mo Xi suddenly appeared on the rebounding spot, and Mo Xi also secretly complained in his heart, this is the first time he has met someone who is less focused on rebounding than him. Moreover, Mo Xi is not called low concentration, Mo Xi is just a lack of card awareness and judgment of jump timing, and Walker's side, his card position is quite good, and his slightly wider figure also brings a great space advantage to his rebounds, although the defense is not good, but the rebounds are not bad, and now Mo Xi is rushing into the basket in the empty gear just because he is simply lazy.

But Mo Xi seems to underestimate the Celts.

The Celtics were built by Rick Pitino, who was also the manager, chief executive and chairman (this had always been a Celtic tradition before Rivers, unless the head coach was a disciple of Auerbach, when in fact, for many years, the entire management of the Celtics was brought out by Auerbach). He's already a legend, just an NCAA legendary coach. In college basketball, Pitino is the first coach in NCAA history to lead three different schools (Providence College, University of Kentucky, and University of Louisville) to the final four of the NCAA Tournament, and the first coach in NCAA history to lead two different universities to NCAA Championship titles.

How could such a coach have such a vacancy in his tactical system?

Almost at the moment when Mo Xi was about to get the rebound, the three outside lines of the Celtics rushed in one by one, two of them stuck Mo Xi, and one person rushed directly to grab the rebound. They seem to have planned for Antoine Walker's performance.

It didn't take long for him to understand why Pitino was so laissez-faire with Antoine Walker.

The Celtics' formation was pulled apart directly, but not for singles, this is just a tactical characteristic of the Celtics, and most of the Celtics' offense is focused on outside projection, and one thing is particularly important is that they have almost no ability to play inside and back.

The Celtics did a couple of simple passes on the outside to Antoine Walker.

Antoine Walker stood directly outside the three-point line, which made Mo Xi very uncomfortable, when he faced Garnett before, the opponent played this way, although Mo Xi was already very flexible at his feet, but it was still a little worse, and it was not enough to see these forwards, he hesitated and took a step back.

Just then, he heard Ewing shouting behind him, "Don't retreat, go up, go up, he's going to shoot." ”

Mo Xi was startled, and when he looked up again, he found that Antoine Walker had already made a three-point shot.

As a six-foot-eight-inch little fat man, Antoine Walker's hand is very soft, and the ball is thrown in a high arc, like a rainbow crossing the sky.

"Huh~"

Three-point hit.

Antoine Walker skipped Ewing and made a helpless gesture at him.

The Knicks were a little angry and went on the offensive.

Ward passed the ball to Ewing again, but Ewing didn't attack himself this time. Ewing held the ball in one hand, half-sideways, glanced at the half court, and then threw the ball away with a quarterback-style shot, Sprewell quickly rushed up to receive the ball, turned his feet, and rushed in the direction of Antoine Walker, and when the latter did not react at all, he changed direction, passed in front of the opponent, and then made a layup.

After Spreville landed, he walked straight in the direction of Antoine Walker, bumped his shoulder slightly, and whispered: "Cousin, where is ¥......%*&%, this is Madison." ”

Without hesitation, Antoine replied, "Mind your own business, little man. ”

As the game continued, Antoine Walker seemed to be on fire, asking for the ball directly from the three-point line when he got to the frontcourt.

With the experience of the last time, Mo Xi changed to directly defend him this time, and stepped forward with teeth and claws to stick to Antoine Walker.

Antoine Walker smiled coldly, dribbled sideways and took a step, and when Mo Xi let it go, he suddenly stepped back a little, and retreated three points outside the three-point line, in this era, only this guy dares to shoot like this.

But after all, Mo Xi is not the same as the people he was in the position before, they don't have a height of seven feet, Antoine was embarrassed to find out when he shot, why is the opposite wall so high, Antoine had to forcibly raise the shot point, which also led to this ball actually throwing a three-no-stick, Ewing laughed at this rebound, it was really a smile, the whole Knicks team was laughing, even Mo Xi had a shallow smile.

Antoine Walker was a little annoyed.

Knicks offensive round.

Ewing again, and the Knicks continue to feed Ewing the ball.

Ewing received the ball one step outside the box, and once upon a time, it was one of Ewing's favourite positions. Ewing habitually squeezed inward, but still felt powerless in the face of a 280-pound Roshan. Ewing suddenly shook towards the baseline to deceive the opponent's attention, and then quickly turned around, attacked the basket sideways, strode to the inside, and at the same time straightened his body and shot an arrow on horseback.

It's just that the shot of this ball was a little too flat, and it bounced out after hitting the basket twice.

It's still the Celtics' rebounds, and the two sides switch offense and defense.

Antoine was going to keep asking for the ball, but his teammates seemed a little worried about him and handed the ball directly to Paul Pierce on the wing. When he was young, Uncle Pi was already a little anxious, but the statement that your uncle is always your uncle is not false, the 23-year-old Uncle Pi and the 33-year-old Uncle Pi are not the same in addition to their physical strength, and their offensive skills are the same.

Pierce faced Houston, squeezed his shoulders, crashed into Houston, and then rushed inward, Houston hurriedly followed, at this time, Pierce suddenly stopped, used his strength advantage to push Houston again, and then stepped back, shaking Houston away. But Pierce didn't make a shot, and he opted to pass the ball to Antoine Walker.

Just two months ago, Pierce experienced that turning point in his life, and the magical eleven knives seemed to wake up the Celtic supernova.

Antoine received the ball and went straight past Mo Xi with his excellent footwork and went straight to the basket.

However, Antoine, who got carried away, did not know that sometimes, the dignity of the old man could not be violated.

Antoine stretched out his arms to buckle, but unexpectedly, a giant palm flew and slapped it directly, and the ball led Antoine over. Antoine's face was incredible.

Pierce leaned against Houston to pick up the rebound, his back hard chiseled. If there is anything about Uncle Pi when he was young that he is not as good as now, it must be the ability to play singles with his back, although Pierce's one-handed back-to-back shooting skills at the peak of his career have made James also bow down, but the current Pierce is far from practicing those unpretentious skills.

Pierce suddenly stepped back and turned, raised his hands, shook Houston, and then forced a foul on it, while keeping his hand unchanged, and forced a shot behind Houston's arm.

At this moment, the No. 30 jersey flew in, and Mo Xi arrived and directly covered the shot from behind, but this ball fouled first, and Mo Xi only guaranteed that he would not be beaten 2+1 by Pierce.

"Mo, you've become very strong." Pierce looked at the guy flying out from behind him and said with a hint of helplessness. Pierce's family background is very similar to Mo Xi, both come from a single-parent family, grew up in Los Angeles, Mo Xi left when he was in middle school, and Pierce didn't leave until college, he always wanted to play for the Lakers, but he never wanted to be created by fate and came to Boston, the sworn enemy of the Purple Gold. These two people, including Arenas, the youngest who has not yet entered the league, met on the streets of Los Angeles because of their similar circumstances, and they have become a group of close friends.

Mo Xi smiled lightly, patted Pierce on the shoulder, and said lightly, "Are you also strong now?" Paul, however, I am stronger. "It's like a declaration, it's like some kind of assertion, and after these few games, Mo Xi's confidence is stronger.

Pierce made both free throws and switched to the Knicks offense.

The star of the house has not yet found his touch, Ward hesitated, and still passed the ball to Ewing, hoping that Ewing can find his touch as soon as possible. But Ewing himself knew that this kind of thing was urgent, he hadn't played for a long time, and he came back not only without his own shooting bag, but also with the destruction of the team's already tacit offensive system. But Ewing didn't pass the ball right away, hoping to borrow himself to draw firepower for his teammates.

In fact, it is true that Ewing received the ball on the inside, attracting the attention of most of the Celtics, this is the aura of a superstar, even if it is in his twilight years, but his every move still involves people's hearts.

Suddenly, Ewing made another pass, this one imaginatively, a horizontal pass, straight to the middle, where there was no one, not hitting the ground, but gently with a little uplift.

At this time, Mo Xi arrived with a gust of wind, Antoine wanted to defend this time, but was hit by Mo Xi's elbow in the hand, and hurriedly stopped, Mo Xi took the ball, glided and dunked, and fell on the basket to pull himself up.

"Roaring ~~~~~~~"

A roar rang out over Madison Square Garden.
