Chapter 70: The Tyrant
Mo Xi killed Weber, and the pressure on the Knicks was greatly reduced for a while, and Mo Xi was not polite, scoring eight goals in a row, scoring five, and pulling the difference into five points.
After halftime, Mo Xi achieved 20 + 10 + 3 data, but the Knicks still trailed the King by five points at 44:59, Mo Xi was responsible for half of the team's score, everyone saw that Mo Xi had done the limit, and although the Knicks have been biting the score, as long as the fans who are still calm can see that the Knicks seem to have no means of countermeasures.
Sprewell and Houston provided as much firepower as possible, but Houston didn't feel very good today, at the end of the first half, only one of six shots, counting free throws, a total of four points, Sprewell performed decently, three of seven shots, and cut down eight points.
However, the rest of the Knicks are too monolithic, except for defense is defense, maybe Mark Jackson has one more pass.
The Knicks were like a sophisticated machine, but the king across from him was a stitching monster who would stick out a tentacle at any time or anywhere.
After the start of the second half, the situation still did not improve, but Houston suddenly regained his touch, and broke out appropriately in the third quarter, hitting three three-pointers in a row, pulling the Knicks back from the brink of life and death, and always maintaining the score at about five points.
This stalemate lasted until the final quarter.
Van Gundy pulled Mo Xi and said: "Mo, we can't go on like this anymore, in the last quarter, you take over the game, the ball is all over to you, you don't need to think about other people, just put the ball in the basket." ”
This kind of almost dominant-style operation is a resolute resistor for both Mo Xi and Van Gundy, but in the face of the temptation of the thirtieth winning streak, Mo Xi has to be a tyrant again.
In the fourth quarter, Mo Xi first rested for two minutes off the court before returning to the court, and at this time, the Knicks were still in an anxious situation with the Kings.
"Give me the ball!"
Mo Xi sat directly in the low position, stuck the position and began to ask for the ball, this may be the first time in Mo Xi's career to make such a sound on the court, there is no doubt that the sound, this is a kind of power, because Mo Xi continues to improve, forming self-confidence on the court, thus developing a kind of power.
Without any hesitation, the ball came directly to Mo Xi's hands.
Sink the bottom step, back top, bow down, and lift the heavy buckle.
Mo Xi went crazy directly under the king's basket.
In fact, the king's interior defense is not not strong, but it is too targeted, and it is completely aimed at O'Neal, and when encountering a center like Mo Xi who is more inclined to the all-round forward, because he has to guard against Mo Xi's other offensive behaviors, the king's interior line has to let go of the pressure on the inside line, which makes Mo Xi's breakthrough very easy.
However, after two minutes, Mo Xi's easy score was gone.
The Kings found that Mo Xi began to attack more individually, and the entire Knicks players were making the ball for Mo Xi alone, and Mo Xi became a tyrant who exploited the people.
Deal with the tyrant and pinch him to death.
Although Mo Xi can also be regarded as a kaleidoscope of interior attack.
But now he has to face the king's defense anytime and anywhere, which makes Mo Xi have to devote some of his energy to constantly pay attention to his surroundings.
With four minutes left in the game, the Knicks relied on Moxi's low-post singles and made five shots to directly close the score to three points, and at this time, the Kings called a timeout.
"Look what you're doing! Aren't you ashamed that they gave the ball to one person, and they wanted to beat all five of you with that one, and most importantly, he really did it, even though they were still behind, but he was really alone against all of you! Führer Adelman was furious, or rather, it was a sign of fear that someone was fighting his basketball philosophy on his own.
Adelman's words weren't long, and he had to seize every second to lay out his tactics.
As for the Knicks on the other side, it was a little quieter. The Knicks have forgotten that this is their thirtieth winning streak, and they are just staring nervously at the tactical board in Van Gundy's hand, for fear of missing a word, but in fact, Van Gundy's tactical arrangement is quite brief, using various ways to hand over the ball to Mo Xi.
As for Mo Xi, he sat there, quietly not knowing what he was thinking.
Now the Knicks don't care about their winning streak, it's more important to win.
The game continued, and the Kings started with a classic set of "back door" tactics, and the Knicks couldn't guard against it and were directly stolen by two and a half points.
However, Mo Xi didn't care about this, and when he turned around, Mo Xi asked for the ball in the low post again.
It's just that this time it's not easy for Mo Xi to ask for the ball, Divac is in the back, and Gerald Wallace is in front of him, in terms of pure defensive ability, this can be said to be the highest treatment for the king, not to mention that there is also a "white devil" Mike Bibby in front of Mark Jackson.
The Knicks had planned to start running according to Van Gundy's previous arrangement, but the situation on the court changed dramatically.
Mo Xi suddenly leaned and pulled, Divac was carefully pulling Mo Xi's jersey, which caught him off guard, but the referee didn't make any moves, he saw Mo Xi pull in the opposite direction, and pushed Gerald Wallace with his hand, and a jump to the horn position, although Mark Jackson didn't realize it, but the natural reaction of his body had passed the ball over.
One hit the ground, dodged Bibi's interception, Mo Xi squatted to catch the ball, jumped directly, completed the turn in the air, and just sat directly in the air to complete a turnaround and jump shot.
And Mo Xi's performance was not over yet, and then on the defensive end, Mo Xi saw through Divac's passing intention and cut the ball directly.
Immediately after that, the top 10 goals of the season appeared.
Mo Xi had no intention of passing the ball at all, after cutting off Divac's pass, Mo Xi dribbled directly across Divac, and then accelerated, stepping over Webber who rushed forward to make up for the defense, originally Weber just wanted to interfere, but he didn't expect to be so easy.
But Mo Xi's performance continued, and he crashed directly into the gap between the two kings, smashed out with an elbow stuck in the dead corner, and opened a way, and rushed directly to the front.
At this moment, only the "White Devil" Mike Beebe was left in front of Mo Xi.
Bibi, who can be regarded as a strong and strong point guard, is like a child in front of Mo Xi, Bibi was already on Mo Xi's offensive line, but looking at Mo Xi who was running all the way, Bibi felt a void in his heart for no reason, and actually took the initiative to dodge.
But he didn't completely dodge this dodge, but just made way for Mo Xi, who turned on one side and jumped directly, bent his arm, and split the tomahawk through Bibi's sideways.
It was as if there was a thunderclap on the ground, and one person made the entire king speechless.
