Schmitz fell behind in the battle with Mo Xi, but fortunately, one thing did not happen, which made the Pacers at least have some confidence, that is, Mo Xi's offensive desire in this game is not very high, and it has already reached the fourth quarter, Mo Xi has only made five shots now, hit three shots, and four free throws, three of four free throws, and even ten points have not fallen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, Mo Xi seems to have a tendency to raise his head in the last quarter, and gradually began to strengthen his personal attack.

Moxi's personal offense is mainly concentrated in the low post, although Schmitz has been using the height advantage to suppress Moxi's attack, but obviously, it was only Moxi who has not attacked before, and now at the critical moment, Moxi's attack is not soft, and he plays extremely tough in the face of Schmitz.

Mo Xi asked for the ball directly with his back at the left bottom line, and pushed forward strongly, what Schmitz didn't expect was that just the first time, Schmitz was hit in the chest and almost lost his defensive position.

Mo Xi was expressionless and continued to chisel inward, but this time it seemed that the strength was not very strong, Schmitz just shook slightly, and just when Schmitz was a little confused, Mo Xi moved.

Mo Xi suddenly turned up, as if he was going to turn around from above to break through Schmitz, and kill directly under the basket, half of Mo Xi's body pressed Schmitz, Schmitz was difficult to keep up with in the first step, plus Schmitz moved slowly, as long as Mo Xi opened up space with Schmitz in the first step, then Schmitz must be unable to keep up.

Schmitz was a little difficult to move, but Schmitz did not give up, he stretched out his arm, bent his elbow, and pressed it directly against Mo Xi's waist, pushing Mo Xi outward.

Mo Xi suddenly stopped at this time, and at this time, Mo Xi's turn was not completely turned, and his left foot was still in place.

Schmitz panicked when he saw Mo Xi stop, realizing that Mo Xi was likely to be a feint, and hurriedly pressed a step towards the bottom line to prevent Mo Xi from turning around and breaking through the bottom line.

But Schmitz was obviously too nervous, Mo Xi didn't make any moves at all, Schmitz had already begun to move in advance, Mo Xi paused, and then accelerated directly, shoulders against Schmitz, and continued to attack the basket.

Dale Davis stepped forward to make up for the defense, because the place where Mo Xi started was still some distance away from the basket, so it also left Davis plenty of time to react, and when Mo Xi turned around, Davis had already caught up and blocked Mo Xi's breakthrough route.

If it is usual, Mo Xi should be an emergency stop at this time, sideways hook hand, but at this moment, Schmitz is behind him, even if Schmitz is slow, when Mo Xi hooks, Schmitz can also rush back, for the center hook, the most effective defensive means is height, as well as the side of the defense, Schmitz at the same time with these two advantages to defend Mo Xi's hook, Mo Xi is still difficult to score.

But apparently, Mo Xi didn't think about solving the battle with a hook hand at all.

Mo Xi deviated from his feet, took a big step, grabbed Davis's side, suddenly broke out, his left foot was the axis, and he suddenly wanted to turn the other side of the basket, and at the same time shook his shoulder, which was directly a low-handed layup.

Davis's defense didn't do anything at all, and he didn't even get in the way, and Mo Xi went straight to the basket.

This is the second goal that Mo Xi hit in the fourth quarter, Bird was not surprised at first, after all, Mo Xi's offensive power is really strong, Schmitz may be able to suppress it slightly, but obviously, it is impossible to let Mo Xi not score, but soon, Bird found that Schmitz was really unable to parry.

The Knicks attacked again, this time Sprewell didn't attack, the ball passed outside, and it went directly to Mo Xi, who was stuck in the waist position.

After receiving the ball, Mo Xi did not put pressure on Schmitz behind him as usual, but directly Sigma step, becoming directly facing Schmitz, Mo Xi shook a little, and before Schmitz could react, Mo Xi returned to the posture of his back. In vain, Mo Xi began to exert his strength, and chiseled Schmitz.

One, two, three. After three hits in a row, Schmitz was hit a little bit for a while, but he also knew that Mo Xi was in this position, hindered by his height, and there was no particularly effective offensive means. Then, he was naturally slapped in the face by what he liked to see.

Mo Xi is another top, with the strength of this top, Mo Xi pushed to the side, and pulled his right foot outward, but it was a direct hook.

Although Schmitz didn't expect it, he still jumped up with all his might, trying to block Moxi's shot.

Mo Xi's eyes did not blink, as if Schmitz was nothing, Mo Xi's big hook hand was very elegant, but Mo Xi's hook hand and his step back shot are somewhat similar, the rhythm is slower than others, Schmitz was surprised to find that when he jumped, Mo Xi was such a posture to shoot, when he landed, Mo Xi was still like this, it was at this time, Mo Xi finally shot, a mid-distance big hook, the ball flew high, drew a rounded arc, and floated directly into the basket.

Larry Bird was also very excited to watch off the court, he slapped his thigh hard, which was already obvious, Schmitz couldn't help Mo Xi, although before this, Schmitz was obviously able to win and lose with Mo Xi, but at this time, it was weird and difficult to parry.

The sluggishness on the defensive end obviously also affected the performance of the Pacers in the offensive segment, because Schmitz was repeatedly defended by Mo Xi on the offensive end, so Miller seemed a little hesitant when he and Schmitz did the pick-and-roll cooperation, and did not give the ball to Schmitz at the first time, but held the ball himself and entered the three-point line.

Mo Xi's eyes flashed, he seemed to have caught something, and boldly pressed forward, forcing Miller.

At this time, Miller planned to share the ball with Schmitz, but it was too late, Mo Xi had already pressed up, although Mo Xi looked a little short in front of Schmitz, but this does not mean that Mo Xi is short. He is a real seven-foot-long man, Miller failed to pass the ball out, but was directly pressed into his hand by Mo Xi, but fortunately, Miller reacted quickly enough and dragged the ball to the floor.

The chassis was too high, and it was difficult to bend down to make the upper strength, and for a while Miller argued together.

After a while, the referee blew the two of them away and gave a scrum, and the Pacers looked very resentful, this scrum was too difficult for the Pacers!

Mo Xi easily jumped to the ball and flicked it out of the court.

Suddenly, the Knicks and the Pacers scrambled again, and the direction of the penalty was Johnson, he believed that with Johnson's ability, this ball was nine out of ten, and sure enough, Johnson relied on his strong body to forcibly squeeze Davis away, firmly controlled the ball in his arms, and then handed it directly to Sprewell, and the Knicks launched a fast attack.

Sprewell took the lead, Jalen Rose was in hot pursuit, but the gap wasn't narrowed, and Sprewell came with a straight-armed tomahawk heartily, once again causing a deafening cheer at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks went back and forth, not only did not lose points, but scored four points in a row, directly overtaking the score, Madison Square Garden boiled, and the whole New York was a little fluttering.

Larry Bird called a timeout, and although he didn't have anything too good to do, at least, he couldn't let the Knicks develop like this right now.

Fortunately, the Pacers' tactical execution was extremely strong, and the tactics laid out by Larry Bird were perfectly executed, and it was Miller again, and Miller once again interspersed running positions in the Knicks' position, and this time Houston didn't keep up, or the Pacers' cover was very good, winning Miller a shot on the wing.

For the Pacers, when they get the ball into Miller's hands from beyond the three-point line, especially in the fourth quarter, it means that they can stand on the sidelines and watch the game.

Miller pulled up a three-point shot and forced the score back, and the Pacers once again led by one point.

The Pacers' offense is getting simpler and rougher, and on the other hand, the Knicks have really changed.

It was Mo Xi holding the ball again, or in the low post, but this time Mo Xi did not choose to play Schmitz, Mo Xi dribbled directly and went up, and at the same time, at this time, Sprewell cut down to the inside line.

The two completed a hand-to-hand cooperation halfway, and at the same time, Mo Xi also helped Sprewell block Jalen Rose, but the two of them were still a little closer to the basket, Schmitz turned back directly and successfully interfered with Sprewell, but Sprewell was playing tricks at this time, and seemed to throw the ball to the rebound in a panic, but it was directly past Schmitz's big hand blocked behind him, the ball smashed on the rebound, and flew straight back, Schmitz hurriedly fished his hand up, intending to intercept the ball, but unexpectedly, The other one suddenly stretched out, and behind Schmitz, he grabbed the ball back first, and Schmitz turned around, but it was a pity.

It's just that Schmitz's movements are still too slow, this turn is already his limit, and he can't do other defensive moves at all, Mo Xi directly fits and leans up, forcibly takes off against Schmitz's body, and puts the ball in the basket.

At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, 2+1, and the referee gave Schmitz a shooting foul.

Larry Bird was a little annoyed by the steady free throw, and he planned to replace Schmitz, otherwise Schmitz's slow foot movement would only make him a breakthrough for the Knicks on the offensive end.

Despite this, Larry Bird did not call a timeout immediately, at this time there were more than three minutes before the end of the game, there were few timeouts left for both sides, and he still had two in his hands, Schmitz still had some deterrence on the offensive end.

The Pacers trailed by one point again, and this time, the Pacers continued the tactics of the previous time, with four men coming to pull and cover for Miller, who was like a bird in the woods, shuttling between the muscular sticks, and Houston was like a stunted eagle, chasing closely behind.

Miller received the ball, but this time Miller failed to come to the three-point line, but inside the three-point line, Miller gritted his teeth, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, Miller took advantage of Houston when he was still half a step away from him, Miller directly pulled it up and shot it.

However, although the Pacers' tactics are a little tried, they are obviously used too much, and for some people who are extremely sensitive to tactical positioning, it is simply a hole in the fire, including Mo Xi.

Mo Xi directly shook off Schmitz before Miller received the ball and pounced in the direction of Miller, and sure enough, when Mo Xi arrived, Miller was just when he turned and shot.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Mo Xi in front of him, Miller was shocked, but years of experience made him still make a steady move.

It's a pity that Miller's shooting rhythm was also counted into Mo Xi, Mo Xi didn't wait to judge whether Miller was going to shoot or feint, he flew up directly like a stunned young man, in the eyes of others, the two were like they had been discussed, Miller received the ball and turned around, and directly sent the ball to Mo Xi, who threw off Schmitz and ran over without the slightest pause.

Mo Xi took the ball directly, and the Knicks quickly launched a fast attack, and it was Sprewell who took the lead, the iconic straight-arm tomahawk, and scored a fast-break dunk! The Knicks unexpectedly pulled the score away.

Bird was almost about to brush the tactical board in his hand to the ground, and he called a long timeout with a gloomy face.

Although the Pacers' interior has a height advantage, in fact, the Pacers' bench interior line is far from the Knicks, after all, the Knicks' benches are all the kind of iron-fisted blue-collar type, in contrast, although the aging Sam Parkinson can also illuminate the other party, but he will also lose the height advantage because of the rotation, and even turn into a disadvantage, but at this time, Bird has to choose to use the tougher Derrick McKay on the court, and he doesn't need to do anything else, as long as he can provide Miller with high-quality blocking, And on the defensive end to defend Johnson, while forming some threat to Moxi, Bird finally decided to hand over the task of containing Moxi to Davis.

However, Bird didn't realize that he lost to Van Gundy for the first time in the game against the Knicks! It's simply unthinkable.

Van Gundy also made a change, a regular and unconventional one, saying that he was regular because the Knicks had used this lineup many times, and saying that he was unconventional because the Knicks were almost the only team in the league right now that did it.

Van Gundy replaced Ward with Camby, who was getting better with an injury.

The Knicks' lineup has rarely appeared in the playoffs, after all, Ward has also improved, especially on the defensive end.

Bird didn't expect the Knicks to use this lineup, and as a result, the Pacers would be at a disadvantage in terms of height and rebounding.

The Pacers attacked, the Pacers still chose to believe in Miller, Miller lived up to expectations, and once again saved the team on the brink of life and death, Miller pulled out to the bottom corner, picked up Jalen Rose's sudden points, and hit a three-point shot directly against Houston's defense, and once again pulled the score back to the same running line.

It's just that after the Knicks replaced such a big lineup, the confrontation on the court intensified a lot, and after Miller scored the ball, for two minutes in a row, both sides failed to score another goal, and at this time, the referee almost stopped blowing the whistle, unless your foul was too obvious or serious.

Miller taught Camby a straight lesson.

This time, Miller did not shoot after receiving the ball, but shook Houston directly with a feint, and then went straight to the inside.

At this time, Mo Xi and Johnson were both pulled outside, but fortunately, Camby was nearby and flew out directly.

But Miller didn't even shoot the ball, and hit it directly on Camby, who took off.

"Drop~" Camby shoots foul.

The Pacers pulled Miller out from underneath Camby, and Miller couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Under the huge noise offensive in New York, Miller hit two free throws without changing his face, and the Knicks fell behind again.

With just over forty seconds left in the game, Van Gundy called a timeout again.

The Knicks have always given the ball to the team's best shooter in this critical moment, whether it is the Pat Riley era or the current Van Gundy era, the Knicks' final offensive endpoint is the outside shooter, so now, should Van Gundy choose Sprewell, who has scored 30 points in this game, or Houston, the Knicks' best shooting ability?

Knicks sideline ball.

Johnson passed the ball to Sprewell, and he quickly moved to the free throw line, and Sprewell received the ball and moved closer to the top of the arc, at which point, Houston ran from the bottom corner of one side to the basket, and with the help of the double cover of Moxi and Camby, he went directly to the other side of the 45 degrees.

The Pacers' perimeter defense is facing a huge test, and Mark Jackson is very nervous at this time, his height is on the short side even among point guards, (only 6 feet 1 inch, which is equivalent to about 1.68 meters, in fact, shorter) The instinct of playing for many years told him that Sprewell would not let go of such a big advantage.

Sure enough, Houston's run was there, but instead of passing the ball immediately, Sprewell pressed the time, and with more than 30 seconds left, Sprewell suddenly hit a jumper over Jackson's head. Although Mark Jackson had anticipated it, it was difficult for him to threaten Sprewell.

However, Sprewell had a good day today, and by this time the lack suddenly withered, and Sprewell's three-pointer was short, hitting directly under the front of the basket and smashing to the ground.

Davis jammed and got the ball first.

At this time, Mo Xi burst out with amazing power, he directly put himself to the ground, pressed the ball from behind Davis, and the ball returned to the floor.

In an instant, Camby, Davis, and McKay rushed to the ground to frantically scramble for the floor ball, and several ordinary people were mixed together.

Seeing that the referee was about to come over to award the jump ball, seeing that the situation was unknown, Mo Xi made another leap, and slapped the ball on the floor out of the ground, aiming directly at Sprewell outside the three-point line.

Sprewell also broke out with a desperate situation at this time, and got rid of the blocking of the people around him in a way similar to a scuffle and pounced, behind him, Jalen Rose was still dragging Sprewell's jersey. Rao so, Sprewell still got the ball.

Sprewell was about to shoot when he heard a shout in front of him, "Ratrel!" Outside! Houston! ”

Sprewell suddenly realized, at this time, what is the point of tying!

Sprewell passed the ball directly to Houston, who had been waiting outside the three-point line for a long time, Houston posed early outside the three-point line, and shot directly after receiving the ball, although Miller and Jalen Rose pounced together to defend, but they could only watch Houston shoot.

For a while, everyone in this arena focused on the basketball that was thrown, even the security guards who had their backs to the court, at this moment, were a little itchy and secretly looked behind them.

"Huh~", begging to plunge into the net, a circle of white spray.

The Knicks' key three-pointer in the final moments, Houston's quasi-stunner! The captain of the Knicks saved the Knicks once again!

Madison Square Garden erupted in roar after roar, as if it had won the championship.

At this time, Bird directly called the last timeout.

With 11 seconds left, the Pacers can make a solid offensive move, and the winner will be determined in this offense and defense.

In the last offense, Bird made two substitutions in a row, Schmitz and Sam Perkins were all replaced, plus Jackson, Jalen Rose and Miller, which can be said to be the strongest on the offensive end of the Pacers.

Van Gundy, on his side, is the same, in his opinion, Miller is Miller, he will not be like Joe, besides, the Pacers don't have a single Kerr.

The Pacers served, and Camby on the Knicks' side blocked in front of Perkins, and the advantage of height and arm span allowed Camby to almost perfectly block all of the opponent's vision, but Perkins' more than ten years of experience is not dry, and Perkins sent the ball directly to the no-man's land near the halfline.

Sure enough, there, Jalen Rose waited there early. The Pacers' last offense, Miller is not the one with the ball, because Miller needs to keep running to find a position, and at the same time get rid of the defender, which requires the person who passes the ball to Miller must have a wide vision and quite good passing skills, and the most important thing is a direct tacit understanding with Miller.

Jalen Rose felt that his passing skills were not enough, and passed the ball directly to Jackson.

At this time, the Pacers discovered the Knicks' defensive arrangement, and Miller's side naturally had Houston to follow the whole defense, and someone would come up to fill in at any time, but at the same time, on Jackson's side, in addition to Sprewell, Camby actually leaned over after the defensive serve, and directly wrapped up Jackson with Sprewell.

Defending Miller's three-pointer at the last moment, this difficulty is really no different from when he defended Bird, but Miller has always been a weakness compared to Bird, Miller's ball-handling offense is only the average level of the league, as long as Miller can't receive the ball, then what can a shooter do?

At this moment, Jackson is already a little crazy, he was tightly pressed in place by the Knicks, Sprewell is very experienced, he did not rush to reach out, he must not stop the ball at this time, both sides have not paused, as long as they interfere with Jackson and do not let him pass or pass wrong, then the Knicks will win.

But with more than two seconds left on the clock, Jackson made a desperate gamble and tucked the ball straight under Camby's goal, believing Miller must be nearby.

Miller was nearby, of course, but so was Houston, who made a desperate save, throwing himself to the ground and sending Jackson's ball straight through Camby's goal.

But in the end, because of being on the ground, Houston's strength was not used, the ball did not fly far, and was intercepted by Miller, but at this time, Miller was already in a position of almost half court, and there was no time, Miller forcibly threw the ball out, and at this time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Again, this basketball attracted everyone's attention, probably he has never been watched by so many people in his life, today, there were two such gifts in a row, which made him a little fluttery and a little drunk.

This ball is very positive, but judging by the experience of Houston's pitcher, this ball is too small in power and is destined to be a three-not-touch.

Miller missed! Miller misses the lore! The Knicks won!

The Knicks celebrated wildly, the entire Madison Square Garden also began to celebrate wildly, and even more so the fans around New York, many bars directly called out this round of my invitation, and the Knicks won the Eastern Conference championship again, advanced to the Finals, and faced the winner between Los Angeles and Portland.

At this time, the Los Angeles Purple Shirts were still fighting against the Portlanders, and Game 7 would not begin until two days later.
