Chapter 225: Suppressing the Sons of Akron (2)

James is very strong, few people can reach him in his rookie season, and few people can reach his future heights, Mo Xi just thinks this young man is great, great, better than his rookie Anthony faintly better than his rookie Anthony, just a loss, maybe it will be very good in the future, so good that he can compete with him for the championship.

Now Mo Xi, his heart is full of unparalleled ambition, the championship is no longer enough to satisfy him, he just wants to go down in history. Although as a Chinese athlete, he may have already been regarded as a famous athlete in history, but this is not enough, far from enough, he even thinks that a dynasty may not be enough.

The Knicks' actual suppression continued, and the Cavaliers' lack of firepower to open up space led to a large number of people concentrated on the interior, making the entire restricted area extremely crowded. The Knicks are happy about this situation, because they have two centers with pretty good defensive ability, especially the old and strong Ratliff.

Although James is not very old, he is quite mature in playing, the ball quotient is very high, and when he saw such a crowded inside, he decisively withdrew, and his offense, including the way he organized the team's offense, had high requirements for space, and he must ensure that there was a certain amount of space under the basket. As James pulled out, Boozer also moved outward, and the two began to rely on Boozer's mid-range shooting ability to pull outward.

In this way, the scene will gradually open up. Ratliff is a traditional center, and at the Knicks, he had to move to the No. 4 position because of Moxie's presence, and when he meets a forward like Boozer who has the ability to shoot and move quickly, his defensive ability is greatly reduced.

James and Boozer played three blocks in a row, but they managed to stabilize the situation.

George Karl looked at the situation on the court and nodded imperceptibly, the Cavaliers, it's still a little interesting, but it still can't be put on the table.

After the first quarter, the Knicks gradually opened up the distance at 27:20.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides changed their second stops, and Mo Xi led a group of little brothers to continue to blast the Hammer Knights. The Knicks' second lineup, Murphy, Roughly, Anthony, Witherspoon plus Arenas, can be described as full firepower, and the offense is over.

The second lineup of the Knicks is very different from the first lineup, and the power forward and scoring guard are definitely inferior to the first team in terms of personnel strength, but in this lineup, his impact is stronger! The offensive firepower is also one of the best in the entire league, although defensively, there is basically no defense, but since it is the second team, they generally face the opponent's second team, and it is enough to rely on firepower to suppress it. And most importantly, the current Knicks lineup is the most ideal lineup in George Karl's mind, after Mo Xi lost weight, although the confrontation ability has declined, but the athleticism has come to the peak, so George Karl and his flying team came out in advance, or the kind of offensive reinforcement with three points.

In less than five minutes, the Cavaliers were completely blinded, what the hell is on the other side, how does it feel like playing the Drew League, everyone is running, running, scoring...... Well? When is the opposite side already seventeen points ahead?

The Knicks pulled the score away in an instant, 41:24, and the Knicks scored 14 points in less than five minutes.

Cavaliers' head coach Paul Silas saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly called a timeout and replaced the starter in an attempt to salvage the situation.

George Karl pouted, even if the Cavaliers are the Cavaliers' starters, it will be like that, at most, it will become the Knicks and the Cavaliers to fight against each other, and the final winner is still the Knicks, but the Knicks are the championship team after all, plus this is New York, the taste of New York fans is very strong, not only to win, but also to win beautifully, as the league's first and last season's league squad bombardment, it still seems a little ugly, anyway, this is not a playoffs, George Karl waved his hand, and simply changed to the starter, However, he replaced Mo Xi for a short rest.

The biggest change for the Knicks with the arrival of George Karl is their offensive end, even if Mo Xi is not on the court, the Knicks will not play like a fly without a head, and the Knicks' already mature defensive system, the Knicks are now really both offensive and defensive.

However, the lack of the Knicks does not make James happy, because even the current Knicks lineup is too uncomfortable for him, and he has completely come to the position of small forward in the late season, and Sprewell, who defends him, has recently taken the initiative to change his role because of Moxi's "speech" in the locker room, found George Carr, repositioned his role, and became the initial template of a 3D player, It's a waste for Sprewell, who has a good offensive hand with the ball, and his points per game average has dropped all the way to the mid-10s, but for the Knicks, it's a great thing.

James relied on his extraordinary physical fitness every time he tried to forcibly overtake Sprewell, but was stopped by Sprewell, even if James broke in, but he couldn't get into the basket, because although Mo Xi was out of the court, there was a Ratliff on the court who had a stronger blocking ability than Mo Xi, James had to choose a mid-range emergency stop jump shot after the breakthrough, but shooting is really not the regular offensive means of the current little emperor, and the offensive efficiency of the Cavaliers has declined.

The Cavaliers were forced to make another adjustment, wanting to continue to use James and Boozer's pick-and-roll to keep themselves alive. However, the Cavaliers' blocking and dismantling can only be regarded as a temporary tactic, and it is not considered the content of the Cavaliers' regular drills, for this immature tactic, George Karl waved his hand and directly made targeted arrangements, replacing Wang Zhizhi with Nazr Mohammed with better defensive ability, and stuck a little, still defending the basket.

The Cavaliers' lack of perimeter projection is still an inevitable dead end.

After stumbling for almost five minutes, the knight gritted his teeth and never let the margin open to twenty points. Just when Paul Silas breathed a sigh of relief, George Carr took the initiative to call a timeout, and Paul Silas's pupils shrank, something was wrong.

With more than three minutes to go before halftime, Mo Xi returned to the court.

The Cavaliers only felt breathless.

Mo Xi returned to the field indifferently, faced the knights, and began to cut points.

Big Z's defense is also very good, but after Mo Xi lost weight, his lethality in the low post has decreased, but because of the improvement of flexibility, the scoring efficiency in the low post has been greatly improved, and Big Z's slightly bulky steps can't even see his taillights.

Seeing that Big Z couldn't resist Mo Xi's attack, James sneaked up and tried to help defend Mo Xi, definitely not to repay Mo Xi's bloody cap at the beginning. But the fledgling James has never experienced a bag in the real sense at the moment, and Mo Xi, who has experienced the bag of the previous era, told James with practical actions, what is called I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born.

Just caught a glimpse of James who stepped forward to wrap it out of the corner of his eye, Mo Xi immediately responded, flicked his elbow, scared James, his eyes closed involuntarily, and when he opened it again, he found that Mo Xi had already turned around and came to him, and his hands were stretched out in vain and put on Mo Xi's shoulders. Mo Xi took the initiative to find James, and then took James's hands, turned around and threw at close range under the basket.

"Drop~"

The referee's whistle blew, and Mo Xi played 2+1.

James's face is darker, Mo Xi is a center, but why, it feels more like a defender than him.

At the end of the half, the Knicks led the Cavaliers by 22 points at 61:39, and it was not only the Knicks' offense that was terrible, but the terrible thing was that while the Knicks played such a fast-paced game again, they could still rely on their own defense to suppress the Cavaliers' half-court score below forty points.
