Because of O'Neill's journey to the west, many teams in the west have also begun to hoard heavyweight inside lines to act as meat shields, originally the iron-blooded big inside line has always been a specialty of the east, but because of the fluctuation in value, resulting in the situation of the center west expensive, many eastern teams have begun to prepare to use their own inside line to slaughter the local tyrants in the west, but unfortunately, after a few years, the center that has gradually declined in the east has appeared a top figure, so, between the changes, The iron-clad defensive center is back in value.

But this kind of thing is strange, since 2000, although it is still the prosperity of the inside line and even the center, but an inexplicable decline has inevitably come to the fore, it seems that this position of dominating the stadium can hardly be called a successor, and the only young generation of excellent center forward is Yao Ming from overseas. Although Brad Maitreya and others have performed well this season, no one seems to agree to call them the super center of the future, but this big man with the same skin color as Mo Xi, maybe because Mo Xi is in front of him, people still have a lot of expectations for him.

However, expectations are expectations, and the potential of the future is still not fulfilled until now.

This era is still the era when Mo Xi is led by a super center.

Because of the huge difference in height, Mo Xi faced Yao Ming, and his very skilled turn-over jump shot was not as good as usual, but although Yao Ming has made great progress in the strength confrontation, he is still at a disadvantage in the face of Mo Xi.

Mo Xi began to play singles in the waist and horn positions, because of Mo Xi's adaptability, which made the team trying to contain him have to take a huge risk.

But now this team is directed by Van Gundy, and the deep-rooted ideas of Eastern iron-blooded basketball have been deeply imprinted in Van Gundy's mind, especially, he also has an extremely deep understanding of the Knicks, and even the Knicks' star Mo Xi is brought out by him bit by bit, Mo Xi is considered to win the strength of everyone on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Mo Xi is properly taught by Van Gundy, although Ewing is also very helpful in this, but Van Gundy has obviously taught Mo Xi for a longer time, His defensive philosophy is obviously more impressed by Moxi, and George Karl's tuning of the players' defense is more based on their talent, which means that the coach in the entire league who knows Moxi the most is still Van Gundy.

The Rockets are very decisive about Mo Xi's bag, but it is worthy of the Rockets under Van Gundy's tutelage, although Mo Xi saw the gap of his teammates, but obviously, such a large-scale lateral transfer is really a bit risky.

It's just that Van Gundy still underestimated the decisiveness of Moxi, or rather, Moxi, who was bent on scoring.

Mo Xi forcibly pushed with his back, Yao Ming couldn't bear the strength, and retreated again and again, and the players who came to the rocket to wrap him couldn't form a good encirclement with him at all. Mo Xi suddenly retracted his strength, his back straightened, and forced a turn to run over Yao Ming, and the players under the rocket basket tried to step forward to make up for the defense, but they were shaken away by Mo Xi's clean European step, and ended the battle with an easy trowel.

Mo Xi's ability to grow into a super center depends not only on his offensive ability, but also on his defense.

Francis hoped that his little brother would be able to return the favor, just like at the beginning of the game, so he hoisted the ball directly to Yao Ming.

Mo Xi pressed the lower handicap very low, so that Yao Ming's height advantage was more obvious, and at this time, Yao Ming was about eight feet away from the basket, although he had not yet developed a perfect hook hand, but this area was still the most efficient place for traditional centers.

Yao Ming shook twice, but Mo Xi was unmoved, so Yao Ming simply turned around to face Mo Xi in a Sigma step, trying to pick up another turn, and then reversed back to shoot at close range, Mo Xi suddenly shot and slapped directly at the bottom of Yao Ming's ball, and the ball jumped upwards and almost hit him in the face.

Mo Xi quickly grabbed the ball, and then dribbled behind Yao Ming to find Sprewell with a long forward pass, and Sprewell took advantage of the situation and handed the ball to Anthony, who took off the tomahawk and slammed it.

Since Anthony joined New York, although Sprewell's playing opportunities have been cut, he can return to the most familiar No. 2 position, which is why Sprewell's statistics have declined, but not very much.

For Van Gundy's team, it's not scary to not be able to attack, but the scary thing is that they can't defend the opposite side at all.

Mo Xi's solo performance mode is on, to the surprise of many people, Mo Xi's play is not reasonable at all, obviously a better position has appeared, but Mo Xi seems to be very alone, forced singles, the superstar mode of the nineties shines on Mo Xi's body.

George Karl is a team-oriented attacker, yes, but he's also a pretty passionate guy with a temper similar to Nelson Sr., and he doesn't care about opening a back door to talented players.

Mo Xi is more and more fun, he can clearly perceive the breath from every cell in his body, this feeling is very wonderful, many times, Mo Xi looks at the basket, just has an idea in his heart, even a wild idea, his body can do it for him, in this state, Mo Xi gradually can't help but be a little unable to hold back, any league player, at such a time, can't help but want to do something.

Van Gundy forced a timeout, and Mo Xi sat down on the sidelines, with a towel on his shoulder, and said thoughtfully to Ratliff beside him: "I always feel that I can score fifty points." ”

Ratliff pursed his lips and pointed to the scoreboard.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Knicks have led the Rockets by 16 points, and Mo Xi has just scored his 32nd point, in other words, if the Rockets can't make any effective adjustments, then Mo Xi wants to score 50 points, he must score 18 points in a limited time, in Ratliff's view, Rao is Mo Xi wants to do this, it is still a little difficult, after all, this is still an era of traditional centers.

Mo Xi also thought of this, but he had some more thoughts in his heart, and he shot nine times, which didn't seem to be very slow.

At the end of the timeout, Van Gundy made a substitution, a move that was once called a faint move in the post-match resumption, and he replaced Yao Ming with Kevin Marto, hoping to use this meat shield to force Mo Xi into the quagmire of being trapped.

But with this substitution, the only advantage of the rocket's inside line against Mo Xi was also lost, and Mo Xi began to pour his firepower and constantly hit the basket.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Mo Xi won ten points in a row, and the difference instantly reached twenty points, and at this time George Karl was already preparing for a substitution.

Seeing this, Mo Xi decisively changed his style of play, using the block to win the opportunity to shoot for himself, Kevin faced Mo Xi without height pressure, and he couldn't put pressure on Mo Xi at all, and Mo Xi scored three goals in a row.

At this time, the Houston fans gradually turned against each other, and Van Gundy was very unwilling to put Yao Ming back on the field again.

But at this time, it was too late, and Mo Xi was already 48 points.

Facing Mo Xi, who is fully out of shape, Yao Ming feels a lot of pressure, he has played against O'Neal, but O'Neal in the regular season and O'Neal in the playoffs are definitely not the same species.

Charge, turn, and ram again

It's not any amazing technique of Mo Xi, it's just a simple raise of your hand and force a shot under the basket.

"Drip-"

2+1

Mo Xi, who completely released his offensive desire, staged a bullying incident in Houston, and in just three quarters, Mo Xi used a near-perfect performance to cut 51 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

After the game, Yao Ming said that he was very helpless and angry, you beat me like this, I still have to invite you to dinner.

And because of this Knicks and Rockets war and specially came to the United States to coach Zhang, he had to interview a few people with a wry smile, and when he arrived here, he said very euphemistically: "You are in good shape today, refreshing your regular season score this season, is this to leave a deep impression on the domestic audience?" ”

Mo Xi said very seriously: "Because Da Yao said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, I want to go early." ”

Yao Ming, who was standing on the side, although he was used to Western humor like this, couldn't help but say a few more words about tomatoes, you mean to blame me.
