In the second quarter, neither Mo Xi nor Duncan chose to rest, and the two seemed to be ready to play the whole court. The two men took their knives and mounted their horses, leading a group of substitutes to continue their battle. In fact, it can't be regarded as a substitute, the Knicks are Ward, Houston, Witherspoon, Dale Davis, plus Mo Xi, this is a lineup that completely highlights Mo Xi's personal strength, super center plus two blue-collar forwards, a shooter outside and a cannonball transmitter, this is a fairly classic center tactical matching, even a coach like George Karl who is good at fast-break tactics, in the case of having a super center in his hand, he will occasionally be "conservative"; As for the Spurs, it is Parker, Ginobili, Bowen and David Robinson, although David Robinson has lost his All-Star look, and is just an ordinary center at the moment, but the tiger is thin and majestic, and no one dares to ignore his existence, plus Tim Duncan, this is a typical Spurs-style formation, or rather, a typical Popovich-style play, defense, movement, rotation, plus some wine music and reading, this is the Spurs.

This is no longer a shield and spear confrontation, this is a hammer and shield contest.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Xi pursed his lips and walked onto the court, and the Spurs took the lead in attacking.

Parker dribbled past halfcourt and passed the ball to Ginobili, who seemed to be running a little faster to get rid of Houston, and when he received the ball and stopped, he was already one step outside the three-point line on the left wing.

Instead of stepping forward to force the defense, Houston took another step back and let go of Ginobili's position of almost two steps, which would be more beneficial to his defense.

Ginobili seemed to notice the problem as well, but the Spurs' style kept him from stopping to look for opportunities, and Ginobili began to push in, pulling to the side.

Houston easily followed.

Ginobili wasn't moving fast, and he was looking for a lethal one-hit.

Suddenly, Ginobili kicked in, and Houston's footwork was excellent, but in the face of the impact of the European MVP, he was a little helpless for a while, barely blocking the position.

However, that's exactly what Ginobili wants to see, and the closer Houston gets to him, the more space he has and the bigger the gap behind Houston. Ginobili raised his hands above his head and jumped straight to Parker, who cut in from the middle.

Ward is a qualified defensive player, but he can't be considered outstanding, Parker's cut is fast, Ward doesn't react at all, Parker's ability to combine the ball is also excellent, and after receiving the ball, he doesn't pause at all, and rushes towards the Knicks' basket.

In the face of this offense, Mo Xi didn't even have to think about it to know that Parker must have used his specialty small throw to attack the Knicks' basket.

Sure enough, Parker pushed the ball straight up, a classic Parker-style small throw.

In the face of Parker's throw, unless Parker made a perfect prediction before he made a shot, he basically couldn't block it, and Mo Xi was in this situation now, he predicted that Parker would use the throw, but he couldn't judge the right time, and before he went to make up the defense, Parker had already shot.

Parker's ball flew straight past Moxi's fingertips and into the basket.

With a "swoo~", the Spurs scored the first goal of the second quarter, which also gave the Spurs the lead for the first time.

The Knicks soon began to fight back.

Ward directly hoisted the ball to Moxi, and the Knicks' lineup is the classic "hang the ball to the inside, the inside line can't play to the outside, and the outside line can't play anymore and return it to the inside", and the No. 5 position is a low-post single.

Duncan couldn't switch to Mo Xi's side to defend at the first time, and surprisingly, Mo Xi's current defender is David Robinson. David Robinson hasn't been directly opposite to Moxi for a long time since the first game, and there is David Robinson's own weakness and Popovich's distrust.

Seeing Mo Xi holding the ball and sticking it up, David Robinson couldn't help but feel nervous.

Damn, how did he find me.

David Robinson cursed secretly in his heart.

Duncan was on the other side, his eyes rolled, and he began to move a little to this side, Dale Davis is a blue-collar player, his offensive style is mostly to rush to the basket after grabbing rebounds, and his offensive ability is almost negligible. Duncan can come boldly to help the defense.

But it seems that Mo Xi didn't want to give Duncan a chance to make up for it. Mo Xi's offense was very decisive, he didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to pass the ball, he directly pushed David Robinson, and then relied on the power of this recoil, floated out, rubbed back with one foot, and turned over with a slight step back in the jumper.

The turnover jumper is the first skill Ewing handed over to him after Mo Xi entered the league, and even this skill can be regarded as the Knicks' inheritance skill.

Neither David Robinson nor Duncan expected Mo Xi's shot to be so decisive this time, and no one even interfered, Mo Xi just shot the basket, the whole person leaned back slightly in the air, and Mo Xi sent the ball into the basket.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides appeared to be excellent in the first offense, but unexpectedly, the more important matchup of this game was actually shown on the defensive end.

Pretty bad at defending, not good at defending, not good at defending, almost every year, when scouts are searching for players from each team, they will have this sentence in their scouting reports about Much, and people believe it, or rather, at least at that time, it was true.

Women are fickle, but in fact, men are not static, and some people become faster. The defensive ability shown by Mo Xi in the entire finals, although it did not reach the level of Duncan, but it was able to reach the level of a defensive one, this game, in the hands of Mo Xi and Duncan, the score seemed to have lost its due charm, but the defense was more refreshing.

However, in this way, it is a little unfavorable to the Knicks, because the characteristic of George Karl's layout of this lineup is to attack with Mo Xi as the core, although the defense is also strong, but in fact, the real power of this lineup lies in the firepower of Mo Xi.

However, within six minutes, the Spurs and Knicks played a 6:4 score, and the Spurs had a slight lead of two points, which was really unexpected.

George Karl and Popovich didn't expect this, but now the mood of the two is not the same at all, Popovich is naturally happy, but George Karl has a headache.

George Carr immediately called a timeout, called Mo Xi to his side, and said loudly to him, "Attack! Score! Scoring, what we need now is scoring, Mo, I put you up not to let you play a one-on-one game with Duncan, but to let you score, to win, to turn on all your firepower! ”

George Karl was still a little uneasy, so he simply made another adjustment, Arenas, Spreville and Wallace returned to the court, and Ward, Houston and Dale Davis went off.

The game continues, and the Knicks have the ball.

With Arenas and Wallace involved, the Spurs' defense line was pulled apart in an instant, and Mo Xi knew that the team's poor offense in the middle of the quarter had something to do with him, and at this moment, he stepped up to do something.

The waist position wants the ball, and the ink regrets hitting Duncan with his back.

Sprewell sent the ball straight to Moxi, which was a very dangerous pass, but the goal was successful, and the relative benefit he brought was huge.

Mo Xi quickly turned around after receiving the ball, no, not just turning, before he turned, his left hand quickly flicked behind Duncan's back, and the action was so fast that he almost ignored this action, until Mo Xi completed this whole offensive action.

Turning his back to the ball, no one expected Mo Xi to make such a sudden move, of course, when he was predicted, he would probably fail, and what people were surprised about was not here, but Mo Xi's action just now was too fast, no one reacted at all, many people thought that Mo Xi just made a simple turn to pass Duncan, and in fact, only through slow motion playback, people can find out what Mo Xi did just now.

After passing Duncan, Mo Xi stepped forward and scored easily with a one-handed slam.

The excellent play of this offense obviously also affected the performance of Mo Xi on the defensive end in the future. The high-spirited Mo Xi is once again jaw-dropping.

This time, the Spurs' offensive ball was passed around the perimeter, and Parker saw the right time to successfully stuff the ball into the hands of Duncan, who was sitting in the low post.

On the defensive end, Murphy didn't go directly to Duncan, because David Robinson's outstanding height made Wallace misplaced to defend him, and Murphy had to mark Robinson and hand Duncan to Wallace.

It's just that Wallace is the kind of typical defensive forward, and he needs someone to carry him up front so that he can make the most of his footwork, but now that he has to face Duncan directly, this is not good news for him.

Really. Duncan relied on his excellent lower body strength to chisel directly to the basket, seeing that he was only two or three steps away from the basket, Wallace gritted his teeth and pressed all his weight on Duncan's body, but at this time, Duncan suddenly turned around and lightly left Wallace behind him, and Duncan directly lowered his hand to the layup.

But what people never expected was that Duncan was actually blocked.

Mo Xi jumped out and knocked Duncan's ball straight from behind.

After the ball landed, the power was not very great, and it did not pop directly out of bounds, which gave the Spurs a chance, Parker quickly sneaked over from the baseline, picked up the offensive rebound, and then directly wanted to make a rebound.

It's Mo Xi again, this time Mo Xi has just landed, and he is not ready to jump for the second time, at the moment when Parker made a move, Mo Xi keenly smelled something, and then the ghost made a hand and put his hand directly on Parker's head.

"Smack~"

As if he was acting, Mo Xi actually blocked Parker's layup like this, all as if Parker deliberately sent the ball to Mo Xi's hand.

This time, the rebound was picked up by Wallace, and Moxi's two consecutive blocks made the Knicks more imposing, and the Knicks quickly switched offense.

However, Arenas did not dare to make a rash move, but waited until Mo Xi also reached halftime.

Mercy is directly in the horn position, which is honestly not Mercy's favorite position, but after Arenas comes on the court, he must leave enough space for Arenas to make the basket and behind him so that Arenas can run freely.

Seeing Moxi's position, Arenas immediately rushed in his direction, and with the help of Moxi's cover, he attacked directly under the basket.

David Robinson may have really lost his courage, but he is still David Robinson, the admiral, Arenas has already taken off into the air, but he is astutely aware of the scene of his own step, Robinson in front of him, the opponent did not move, he can't make a foul, and with Robinson's ability, he is fully capable of splitting the head and covering the face of Arenas.

Arenas twisted his waist in the air and forced the ball into the hands of Sprewell, who was pulled into the bottom corner, but Ginobili's defense was also excellent, and Sprewell had to pass the ball back to Moxi in the corner position again.

Immediately afterwards, everyone grew their mouths, because of Mo Xi, there was a time when he used his back to turn around and divide the ball, twice in a row, Mo Xi seemed to be playing Duncan, twice in a row with the same action, in different positions past Duncan, this time Mo Xi was not as fast as the last time, but this time Duncan obviously did not expect Mo Xi to use this technique that is considered to be Mo Xi's killer skill in a row.

Fortunately, after Duncan was passed, the Spurs' interior line was not empty, and David Robinson was still waiting there, as long as he ......

"Bang-"

Before people could finish thinking about it, they heard a loud bang, and the fantasies that people didn't have time to complete had come to naught, and Mo Xi hung himself on the basket, and under Mo Xi, was David Robinson's dodgy figure and helpless expression.

Some people missed the scene where David Robinson was blocked again, but no one missed the scene in front of them, at least this time, everyone knows, probably after this Finals, David Robinson will announce his retirement.

David Robinson leaned against his basketball hoop with empty eyes, he hadn't been dunked by others, the three centers, and even Mourning had been dunked above his head, but now, he felt like a child, so helpless.
