“Fuck！ Fuck！ Fuck！ ”

In the Pacers' locker room, Artest angrily shook his fist and smashed it into the air.

Several Pacers bench players watched with some horror, but Reggie Miller was comfortable with it, and it wasn't a bad thing for players to have tempers, and as long as they were done properly, they could be a way to strengthen players.

O'Neill Jr. is also not a good-natured person, or for his teammates, they are always as warm as spring, and they only turn into winter when dealing with enemies.

The coach of the Pacers watched silently in the locker room, as a person from the nineties, he was very familiar with the enthusiasm of the players, but I don't know why, now he looked at Artest's annoyed appearance, and there was always a feeling that something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but in short, it didn't feel very good.

At the beginning of the second half, although the Pacers relied on Miller's god-level performance in the final stage of the first half to close the score as close as possible, in fact, every Pacers player was very worried in their hearts, they knew that the kind of performance like Miller just now would never last, not to mention that they were still in the process of chasing points, and the slightest carelessness was an abyss.

What the Pacers can think of, the Knicks can naturally think of, although they were beaten by Miller, but after a halftime break, the Knicks' morale has recovered, and the Pacers' road is becoming more and more difficult.

At the beginning of the second half, Reggie Miller wanted to replicate the miracle of the first half, and led the entire Pacers directly to blow the horn of offense.

Reggie Miller's running ability is indeed strong, enough erratic, coupled with tireless running and amazing willpower, Houston may not really be able to guard against him, but now, Miller is facing the entire Knicks. The Pacers O'Neal Jr. and Artest are typical representatives of weak defense, they can share some pressure for Miller, but there is not much they can do, especially O'Neal Jr. was suppressed by Mo Xi on the inside. It's not that O'Neal Jr. is bad, it's just that O'Neal Jr.'s offensive style is good at just not having the face frame offense that Mo Xi is best at dealing with.

Arenas successfully cut off a pass to Miller, and the Knicks launched a fast break on the spot.

Arenas pushed the ball forward and gave it directly to Sprewell, who received the ball and dribbled forward twice, and also passed the ball to Moxi, who was inserted in the middle.

Once a seven-foot-long man rushes up, it looks like an African elephant galloping on the grassland, and the walker also has a few people who return to defense, but in the face of Moxi's tank-like body, they subconsciously choose to retreat.

Mo Xi caught the ball in the high-speed movement, lifted the ball directly, rushed directly without slowing down, pulled the ball behind his head with both hands, and rose into the sky.

"Bang-"

With a loud bang, Mo Xi was directly a slap in the frame.

There was a twitch on the walker's face, which ...... It seems that after a halftime break, the excitement of the Knicks does not seem to have cooled down, but has a tendency to intensify.

Miller was locked by the Knicks as a team, and O'Neal Jr. was defended by Moxie, but the Pacers still had an attacking arrow on the outside, and that was Artest.

Because of the need to help defend Reggie Miller, Sprewell's defensive attention had to be divided into a part, but in this way, Artest was like a fish in water, and the confrontation between the two people Spréwell was faintly at a disadvantage, Artest relied on his strong body to crush Sprewell many times and directly hit the Knicks' basket, and at this moment Sprewell's defensive attention could not be concentrated, which was giving Artest a chance.

Artest began to pound the basket constantly.

The basket is the Knicks' strongest point, but it is also their most vulnerable point, because both Moxi and Wallace have excellent interior deterrence, but combined with their strong defensive awareness, they often carry four or five fouls.

Mo Xi saw Artest's intentions, thought about the two fouls on his body, and hesitated, but still planned to stabilize first, after all, the game still has a long time.

But seeing Mo Xi's concession, George Karl was unhappy on the field, after this period of time together, he knew that Mo Xi was not a soft egg, this is also a very tough person, but sometimes he always felt that Mo Xi's performance should be tougher.

Mo Xi frowned, and without discerning anything, the Knicks began their offense.

The Pacers also seem to have grasped the characteristics of the Knicks' offense, George Karl's offensive tactics, sharing the ball is a key point, second only to the point of fast ball processing, under George Carr's tutelage, each of the Knicks' offense has to go through at least four or so transmissions before shooting, of course, there are a lot of frequent runs, but when the team has a super good big man, how can the Knicks' offense not revolve around this big man? What's more, the Knicks still have two at once.

The Pacers directly cut off the connection between the Knicks' inside and outside, and even if they let go of the outside, they didn't want the Knicks' outside line to be connected to the inside.

But they really underestimated the outside players of the Knicks, Sprewell, Houston plus a Arenas, all three of them were 20+ characters at their peak, even if they are not at their peak for different reasons, but they are not characters that can be underestimated.

"Huh~", almost an empty three-point was directly thrown by Arenas.

The Pacers returned to the offensive end with a blank face, for them, as long as they can block the opponent's inside and outside connections, whether it is an inside single or an outside single, there will be a time when they can't go in, as long as they don't let their cooperation play out.

Artest beat Sprewell again, but this time Sprewell resisted Artest hard, Artest was fruitless and had to pass the ball out, but on the Pacers' court, there are only two people with outside finishing ability, one is Miller, who has been locked, and the other is Al Harrington.

Facing Wallace, who is a head taller than himself, Al Harrington subconsciously chose to dodge, he likes to float outside and shoot three-pointers, but that is based on the situation that the opposite person is not as tall or fast as himself, not when he is evenly matched or even taller and faster than himself.

But Harrington still couldn't dodge Wallace in the end, and had to force a step-back jumper.

With a "poof", Harrington hit the iron, and Mo Xi took the rebound in his pocket.

After winning the rebound, Mo Xi first protected the ball sideways, and then looked ahead, threw the ball directly to the front court with a long arm.

Mo Xi's long pass seems to be equipped with a guidance system, and it accurately finds Arenas.

Arenas plucked the ball directly from his side and slapped it forward, turning the whole person into a lightning bolt and heading straight for the front.

Arenas makes a fast-break layup!

Just when everyone thought that Arenas's goal was already secure, a sudden change occurred.

A sturdy figure suddenly flew out from behind Arenas, dragged Arenas into the air, and threw him directly to the ground, smashing Arenas to pieces.

Mo Xi only felt that his head was "buzzing~", his blood was surging, his whole face became red, and Mo Xi strode forward in silence.

At the same time, Houston, who is closest to Arias, has stepped forward to check Arenas' status for the first time.

And at this time, Rashid Wallace also passed the half, he walked straight to Artest, looked at the beast condescendingly, put his head on Artest's head, and said: "Indiana wild boy, what do you want to do!" Kill! ”

Artest probably knew that he was at fault, but he couldn't let go of this face, and when he saw Wallace coming over and reprimanding him, his head was hot, and he had a manic attack, so he pushed him directly, "Of course I know what I'm doing, you don't know where I am when I play in Queens!" ”

Rashid Wallace was furious, too, but before he could do anything, he saw a fist swing out from behind his side.

Artest gets punched in the head by Moxi.

Mo Xi's punch seemed to ignite the fuse, and Artest completely stormed.

"Roar~"

Artest roared angrily and pounced on Mo Xi.

But don't look at Mo Xi's tall and big man, but the movements under his feet are much more flexible than Artest's boxing, with one side, a wave of his hand, and a pull outward, blocking Artest's fist.

Artest missed a blow, and the second punch followed without stopping, and the fighting experience accumulated over the years told Artest that fighting this kind of thing, we must take the lead, and we can't let the other party react.

Artest stepped forward with one leap and at the same time retracted his empty fist, and the other fist slammed straight from the bottom up to Moxi's chest.

Mo Xi's heart was full of anger, but his eyes were extremely calm, flashing with a cold light. Mo Xi's body retreated, his right foot pulled back, and his body pressed back with a heavy heart, narrowly avoiding Artest's punch, and then, Mo Xi directly hit Artest in the chest.

Artest was beaten back three steps.

When did Artest suffer such a loss, he cheered up and had to come forward and start over again, but it was not only Mo Xi in front of him, Wallace was also there. Rasheed Wallace stepped forward to block Artest and pushed Artest straight to the sidelines.

At this time, the referee, who was slow to react for more than a beat, reacted and hurriedly rushed forward to pull the two sides apart.

On the other side of the court, O'Neal Jr. and Miller saw that Artest was full of old punches, and they were about to rush forward with red eyes, but after all, they were too far away, and this side was blocked by Sprewell, and they couldn't rush over at the first time, but this also avoided a big scuffle.

George Carl also walked over with a roar, George Carl is a very calf-protective coach, Artest dared to treat Arenas like this has already touched his bottom line, not to mention that he dared to push Wallace later, and even waved his fist at Mo Xi, although Mo Xi was the one who made the first move, but who let Mo Xi play under him!

George Carr's actions sent a roar throughout Madison Square Garden, where people shouted for Artest to be expelled, and the earth-shattering roar made the unsuspecting think they had arrived in the Colosseum of Ancient Rome.

The referee immediately made a penalty and directly sent Artest out of the game for a second-degree malicious foul.

Just as the fans were applauding the referee's decision, the referee blew another whistle and Mo Xi was ejected, while Rasheed Wallace also received a technical foul.

After the fans in New York saw the referee's decision on the Knicks, they immediately booed dissatisfied, but the boos did not last long, because Mo Xi had calmly walked to the players' tunnel, and the whole stadium burst into applause in an instant.

Fans in New York are cheering for Mexi.

Wallace patted Mo Xi on the shoulder and said loudly, "Well done, boy! Don't worry, we'll win the next game! ”

Mo Xi felt that his whole body was trembling, and he didn't know if he was scared or excited, or if he was simply exerting too much force.

George Carr also walked over, pulled Mo Xi's shoulder and said to him: "It's nothing, don't think too much, it's all over anyway, I'll help you carry something." ”

Mo Xi returned to the locker room with a blank face.

It's very cool.

But the playoffs have begun.

Mo Xi knows very well that he and Artest are bound to face a ban, but I don't know how many games it will be, but even if it's just one, Mo Xi feels that it is difficult to accept, this is a playoffs! Every point can be used to win the playoffs!

But do you regret it?

No!

Mo Xi's expression became serious, he would not regret it, not to mention what he had done, whether it was right or wrong, there was no room for regret left to himself, and the next important thing was to face it.

Mo Xi buried his face in a towel.

Alas? I just played quite handsomely in retrospect!

This passionate game became more intense because of the downfall of the big players on both sides, and several times almost staged an all-out martial arts again, but both sides were playoff teams, and both sides still tried to restrain themselves when the playoffs were about to begin.

The Pacers' lack of an Artest has a huge impact on their overall impact, but no matter how big the impact is, it can't compare to the impact of Murphy on the Knicks, fortunately, Rasheed Wallace ushered in a big explosion in this game, and he and Miller soared three points at the last minute, and in the last minute, the two hit two three-pointers each, no matter how big the impact is, but the Knicks won the final victory by virtue of the initial advantage.

The Knicks won the battle of arch-rivals, but that's not the most important thing, and the conflict between Moxi and Artest is clearly what people care about the most.
