Chapter 105: Fighting Harder (I)

"Toot ~" Soon after the start of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy had to call a timeout again, he pulled Mo Xi in distress, and said in his ear: "How about it, can you still hold on, or I will replace Ewing in advance to replace you?" ”

Mo Xi didn't speak, just waved his hand vigorously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Knicks are already nearly twenty points behind, and it can be said that according to the current situation, this game cannot be won, but at least, Van Gundy does not want to lose too ugly. On the Lakers side, they could have replaced the main force, but when they saw the Knicks, they didn't seem to want to give up, Phil Jackson thought about it, although he made some substitutions, but the core O'Neal still stayed, and even put Kobe Bryant on the court, he understood what Van Gundy meant, but in Staples, it is not so easy to save face.

O'Neal has been on the court for thirty minutes, during this period, although the Knicks have rotated, but the main opponent with O'Neal is still Mo Xi, just now Van Gundy wanted to call a timeout, because he found that Mo Xi actually had signs of retching on the sidelines, which is not a good sign, what makes Van Gundy even more frustrated is that the Knicks have many inside lines, but at this time, there are no available soldiers, Camby has been beaten by O'Neal to six fouls, Ewing is still resting, and he can only rely on Mo Xi alone to withstand O'Neal's huge pressure.

Mo Xi stood up straight, word by word, and said to Van Gundy in frustration: "If Shaq is gone, you can let me go down to rest." Mo Xi got this respite, took a breath, and returned to the court.

Van Gundy's mood at this time is very complicated, this year is not better than last year, although Duncan is scrapped this year, and the biggest nightmare of another interior in the West has disappeared, but in fact, this year's competitive pressure is even worse than last year, and last year's Knicks can't beat the Spurs, but at least, at that time, they were going up and playing one by one, which is like now, Ewing stopped and stopped, and Camby was beaten down for more than ten minutes, and Mo Xi relied on the help of Johnson and Thomas, trying to compete with O'Neal, and even more often, Or is he alone at the forefront, Van Gundy has a hunch that after the end of this year's finals, Mo Xi is afraid that there will be great improvements!

However, no matter what happens in the future, now, Mo Xi's hard support has also made Van Gundy a little uncomfortable, maybe Van Gundy himself often overdraws them when using players, but it is undeniable that Van Gundy's protection of his players will always come first.

Seeing Mo Xi return to his side, Rao is O'Neill can't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, he is afraid of being stunned, he is afraid of dying, O'Neill is a complete rampant person, but Mo Xi is also a stunned and stunned young man, and he is fighting against O'Neill.

Murphy returned to the court, and the Knicks attacked the ball.

At this time, it is Ward who controls the ball on the court, and the pressure on Ward is much less, because in comparison, the Lakers' point guard, no matter which one it is, gives him far less pressure than the previous opposition Hardaway and Mark Jackson, in fact, it is true, whether it is Ron Harper or Fisher Fisher, under the system of the Lakers, especially Phil Jackson, it can be said that he is a purebred "point guard", and only has a single functional point guard, which is somewhat similar to Ward, and even, Ward also does have some rights and ability to organize offense.

Ward handed the ball to Sprewell, because O'Neal was sitting under the basket, and Sprewell's several impact baskets did not receive good results, Sprewell simply made a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Thomas, who was substituted on the court, and then Sprewell quickly dismantled with Thomas, and Sprewell hit the ground and passed the ball to Thomas. In the past, Van Gundy used Thomas more time than Camby, because Thomas had a very consistent mid-range shot.

On the Lakers' side, Robert Horry stepped into the power forward position. (Every time I hit Horry's name, I can't help but praise it, there is no one who can do this as a role player, seven championships in sixteen years, it's really where to win the championship) Thomas's shot was a little hasty, and he was interfered with by Horry.

O'Neal stretched out his hand and pocketed the backcourt rebound, but he didn't know that someone was waiting for him early.

Mo Xi knows that it is almost impossible to impact O'Neal's rebounds with his own ability, but sometimes things are man-made, but even if things are man-made, you have to do your best before you can resign yourself to fate.

Murphy suddenly came out of O'Neal's side, and this was when O'Neal grabbed the rebound and was about to hand the ball to Fisher in front of him. O'Neill only saw a fairly handsome face appear in front of him, and then he felt a tingling in his hand, and suddenly felt that his hand was light, and when he looked again, it was Mo Xi who cut the ball off. Mo Xi cut this very smart, he directly cut the ball far away, although he can't get it, but the Lakers don't want to get it, if you compare the scramble for the ball, it is estimated that the Lakers will replace the entire team with Kobe Bryant to compete with this Knicks.

Sprewell made a direct tiger pounce, pressed the ball under him, and without thinking about it, he called a timeout directly on the field. It stands to reason that in the fourth quarter, it would be safer to pause this thing, but at this time, no matter how bold Sprewell is, he also knows that it is too difficult for the Knicks to win, but there is one point, even if the Knicks are going to lose, they have to die with the best dignity. At this time, if you don't fight every chance of the ball, when will you wait?

The Knicks got a chance to re-attack.

The Knicks served, but this ball was directly given to Mo Xi who came to the high position, Mo Xi did not cling to O'Neal, but left a distance, but at this time, O'Neal was interested, you can't come, then I will go over, he took a few steps forward, and directly pasted it on Mo Xi.

Mo Xi didn't react to this, just made a few gestures on the court, and for a while, the Knicks began to run. Ward took advantage of the situation and ran past Mo Xi and O'Neill, and inserted it directly into the bottom corner, poor Fisher, not only blocked by Mo Xi, but also bypassed such a big mountain as O'Neal in his own house. Ward was followed by Sprewell, he went directly to the basket, O'Neal was shocked, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, but found that Mo Xi didn't seem to make any moves, and breathed a sigh of relief, but then, he saw Houston running up, and with this cover, Mo Xi and Houston completed a hand-to-hand cooperation, and Houston came to the free throw line and was about to jump shot. This ball Brian Shaw was still behind O'Neal, and it must have been impossible to prevent, O'Neal hurriedly took a step forward and came to Houston.

Houston didn't do it recklessly, and passed the ball back to Moxi, just when O'Neal and Brian Shaw switched defenses back, O'Neal felt a chill on his waist, someone ran past him, O'Neal fixed his eyes, Sprewell ran out of the basket again, came to the three-point line, Mo Xi was a hand hand again, Sprewell shot directly after receiving the ball, and the person who defended him was still nowhere to be found, and he was falling far behind O'Neal!

Sprewell made a decisive shot, and the Knicks hit a three-pointer, and although the Knicks still trailed by a large margin, at least for now, the Knicks played a lot more rules than before.

Phil Jackson sat off the court, and he also realized that the Knicks' fight was coming. From a certain point of view, Phil Jackson can really be regarded as a master tactician, but he should actually be called a master of strategy, he pays more attention to the layout of major games than the tactical arrangement of a certain minute and a second, which may also be a habit he developed in the Bulls, after all, in the Bulls, there are only two tactics, the triangle offense and the No. 23 singles tactic in the fourth quarter. (No blowing, no black, the Bulls really used these two tactics at that time) In this kind of finals, Phil Jackson's advantages were maximized.

You have to suppress the momentum of the Knicks! Phil Jackson secretly thought in his heart, but now, it is better if the main force does not play, and in fact, there are not many people who can have an immediate effect on the Lakers at the moment, it seems that they can only rely on O'Neal alone, and Phil Jackson, who has long been accustomed to letting stars decide tactical decisions at certain moments in the early years, is very different from other coaches, not ashamed, but proud, Probably only Bobo has such a mind when he arrives and his temper is not so short-tempered, Bobo really rarely scolds, and he is a little unaccustomed to it.
