Chapter 213: The Giant Beast Comes Out of the Cage
After 1998 AD, it is still difficult for people to forget that painful era, because this land was ruled by a group of giant beasts, and to this day, people are still afraid of it.
The Knicks made another substitution adjustment, but this time, it was just a regular substitution adjustment, at least, in the eyes of most people, but the Knicks clearly knew that this was just to execute a tactic and "give the ball to Moxi".
Center Moxi, power forward Ratliffe, small forward Witherspoon, shooting guard Sprewell plus point guard Arenas. After experiencing a wave of Knicks' bombardment lineup, this lineup is much more decent. But the Magic didn't even have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, because Mo Xi was still in big trouble. For the Magic who lack a center, Mo Xi is not only a big problem, it is simply God.
Gooden had to stand by Mo Xi's side again, the height gap between the two was slightly obvious, Gooden was a head shorter than Mo Xi, but the entire inner line of magic, except for Gooden, only Zhu Wan-Howard had a little strength to block Mo Xi.
On the first goal after the substitution, Mo Xi took the lead and started to ask for the ball directly in the position of the flank.
At the first time when Mo Xi took the initiative to ask for the ball, the magic immediately clamped him, but the magic still suffered from the lack of height, and the two of them failed to surround Mo Xi at all, at best, they pushed Mo Xi out with the help of the joint efforts of the bag and clip.
But Mo Xi didn't care, his hands were outward, and he stretched out his arms in the middle of the human slit, and his center of gravity pressed, and his body leaned directly on Gu Deng.
Drew Gooden's small body could not bear Mo Xi, but he was squeezed out of the bag by Mo Xi, taking this opportunity, Arenas directly hoisted the ball to the top of Mo Xi's head, and Mo Xi fished up with both hands and held the ball.
Mo Xi did not pause after receiving the ball, turned around, swung his body horizontally, stepped out in a big stride, and his thick shoulders were directly topped, and a broad avenue suddenly appeared in front of him. Mo Xi did not hesitate, lowered his center of gravity, dribbled directly to advance, and held the ball to impact the basket violently.
There was no one to stop along the way, and everyone dodged one after another, and Mo Xi killed under the basket and raised his hand to buckle lightly.
Mo Xi turned around and walked to the backcourt, inadvertently came to Maddie's side, and whispered to him, "Shall we come to Bibi to see, who has the higher score?" ”
Mo Xi was originally a very introverted and very cold person, but he entered the big dye vat of New York, first Larry Johnson and Sprewell, and then Johnson left, but Arenas made up again, plus there was a Rashid Wallace in the middle, so a good young man became a sullen ......
Listening to Mo Xi's joking provocation, Maddie was a little uneasy, who was the scoring champion last season, did you have a place on the scoring list last season?
Maddie catches the ball, turns, and responds directly to Moxi's challenge with action.
Yes, that's right, in Maddie's opinion, this is the challenge of Moxi, as a center, Moxi's scoring ability is absolutely undoubted, but the center and the guard are still very different, especially in the scoring explosion, how can it be compared.
Maddie dribbled to the frontcourt, because Maddie's first step was really daunting, Sprewell did not stick directly to defend as usual, but left at least one step away, but he forgot that his height is only 1.96 meters, while Maddie is more than two meters tall, plus Maddie's excellent arm span......
"Huh~"
Without thinking about it, Maddie directly hit a dry three-pointer, and unreasonably shot directly at the top of Sprewell's head, and Sprewell jumped hard, but his fingertips could still only reach Maddie's elbow.
Maddie stretched out three hands and waved at Mo Xi.
Is this what you want?
Mo Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, if he didn't release it, it seemed that he would burn himself, as for who would be hurt if he released it, it was not something he could control.
Knicks offense
Arenas carried the ball through the half, stopped the ball, and looked directly for Moxi's position.
It's just that this time the magic is more tough and resolute on Mo Xi's bag, one person is holding his hands high in front of him, interfering with Mo Xi's vision, and the other person is stuck behind him, pushing Mo Xi outward, and at the same time secretly holding Mo Xi's waist and eyes.
Mo Xi frowned slightly, this feeling is very uncomfortable, it makes people feel very awkward, but it is not particularly sad, as long as you struggle hard, you can get rid of the shackles, but this kind of thing is not useful, but annoying.
Mo Xi pushed left and right, but the action was a little bigger, and the referee blew the whistle.
The Knicks had to go back to the half-court defense in a huff.
The Magic's confidence, which was fairly successful in the previous round, boosted Maddy's one-handed ball from beyond the three-point line and continued to play Sprewell alone.
This time, Sprewell learned the lesson of the last time, and regardless of whether he could keep up with Maddie, he directly posted it, forcing Maddie to lean sideways against Sprewell.
The two of them wrestled with their upper bodies, but at this moment, Maddie suddenly withdrew, turned around in a dashing way, and shook Sprewell's feet to stumble, Maddie accelerated directly and strode straight to the basket.
In front of him, Moxi and Ratliff came together.
Maddie soared into the air and passed between the two men, a lever far away from them.
However, whether it is Mo Xi, who has experienced the baptism of the finals, or the defensive titan Ratliffe, it seems that they are not the kind of people who are easy to get along, Ratliff directly put his palm on Maddie's head, Maddie suddenly fell into a dark situation, and Mo Xi was even more direct, when Maddie lost the basket vision and hesitated for a short time, he suddenly stepped forward, lightly jumped vertically, cut down with one palm, and knocked the basketball in Maddie's hand.
Sprewell, who followed up behind him, bent down to pick up the ball, and the Knicks launched a fast break.
Arenas took the lead, and after Sprewell dribbled across the three-point line, it was a long pass to Arenas in front, and Arenas received the ball and went straight to the basket.
Although Mo Xi is a little strong and weak in offense and defense, but only because of his increasingly strong offensive ability and more diverse scoring methods, relatively speaking, his defensive ability seems a little mediocre, but many people have forgotten that the most terrible thing about Mo Xi is his extraordinary learning ability, even if Ratliff came to the Knicks for only a month or two, but Mo Xi began to learn defensive skills from the best defensive player early, perhaps, in this season, People can see that Mo Xi has raised his strength to another level and become a mythical center with all-round offensive and defensive capabilities.
After being blocked by Mo Xi once, Maddie didn't dare to rush into the inside, and the Knicks are now in charge of two generals on the inside, and no one has the confidence to turn over the river and the sea on the inside.
But on the contrary, it was Mo Xi who began to bombard the mode, yes, it was bombing, bombing.
After several waves of testing, Mo Xi found out the referee's penalty standard, and then began his own bombing scoring performance, leaning on his body, his arm lightly exerted force, pushed away the bag in front of him, one turned around, rushed directly into the inside line, one turned back, Sprewell just right to hang the ball to Mo Xi, Mo Xi lowered his center of gravity after receiving the ball, stabilized, and then pulled the onion on the dry ground, and hung the frame with both hands.
The Magic's interior line completely fell into a state of collapse, and in the remaining five minutes of this quarter, Mo Xi completely turned on his personal offensive firepower, eight shots, and caused a total of three fouls on the opponent's inside, and frantically cut down twenty points and four rebounds in five minutes, and Maddie on the opposite side also made a big move, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, but compared to Mo Xi, it is still a little dwarfed.
The Behemoth of Ink arrives on the East Coast.
