Chapter 117: Dance Music in New York

Surprisingly, Van Gundy's arrangement turned out to be crooked, even now that Kobe Bryant has returned. The Lakers' outside strength has risen sharply www.biquge.info, but obviously, Mo Xi, who came to the offensive end he is most familiar with, has played 120% of his strength, and he doesn't need to fight against O'Neal, he doesn't need to worry about when O'Neal will have another Tarzan on his head, he doesn't need to worry about when O'Neal will suddenly make a mountain of blows on himself, and he doesn't have to worry about what O'Neal will think about his delicate body and push himself to the ground.

After three devastation by O'Neal, Leng Buding was replaced by AC Green, and Mo Xi felt that the world was so wonderful. Mo Xi is playing here is cool enough, but the other positions of the Knicks are still in dire straits, the inside line is now Ewing and Camby taking turns to take over the role of Mo Xi to defend O'Neal, and obviously, losing Mo Xi's hard bones, O'Neal's play began to have the trend of the first two games, plus Kobe's return, fortunately, on the Knicks' side, Mo Xi and Houston supported the situation on the offensive end, and the two sides tied in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides began to increase their rotation, the Knicks replaced Charles, Johnson and Camby, Sprewell was rested, Ewing was also rested again, this time Mo Xi thought he would return to the center position to play against O'Neal, but what he got was Van Gundy's order to resolutely implement the tactics.

This time, even Camby was a little unsettled, he replaced Ewing for four minutes in the first quarter, he was not the kind of physically strong interior line that allowed him to play against O'Neal, which is simply a fantasy.

However, Van Gundy's attitude was very resolute, but Mo Xi could tell from his tone that Van Gundy's resoluteness itself seemed to be a little hesitant.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides were directly facing each other in the rotation lineup. On the Lakers' side, O'Neal did not get off the court, and Horry, Fisher, and Brian Shaw were replaced one after another, after all, Kobe Bryant had just returned from injury, and Phil Jackson did not dare to use Kobe too aggressively.

Before going on the field, Camby sneaked up on Mo Xi and whispered, "That, Mo." ”

Before Camby finished speaking, Mo Xi had already guessed what he was going to say, and said directly: "Don't worry, I will help you share the pressure of O'Neill as much as possible." "It's not that I don't trust Camby, in fact, Camby's interior defense ability is very good, but Camby's defensive ability is more like KG's style, and he is slightly weaker than KG in physical confrontation, and in the face of a power center like O'Neal, Camby is really a little powerless.

Camby smiled and patted Moxi's shoulder.

The game continued, and the Knicks attacked possession.

Because Camby lacks mid-range shooting ability, Camby's role in the high post is not great, O'Neal even simply gave up Camby and instead focused on Mo Xi, even if Mo Xi did not return to the center position, but depending on the situation, O'Neal does not plan to let Mo Xi go.

Because of the lack of Sprewell's powerful ball-handling offensive point, the Knicks' offense seems to be a little muddy and the transfer of the water polo is a little unsmooth, Houston is a typical shooter, and there is almost no difference between him as a point of possession and directly stopping the offense.

But as soon as he made a pass to Mo Xi, he saw a huge and incomparable figure suddenly burst out, directly pushing Mo Xi away and winning the ball.

O'Neal steals.

The Lakers intend to launch a fast break directly, but obviously, even with a rotating lineup, the Knicks' defensive ability, especially the ability to retreat, should not be underestimated, and the Lakers, who lack a frontcourt engine, do not play fast offense.

But the Lakers have a giant that can be called a prehistoric behemoth. O'Neal slowly ran back to the front court, O'Neal came directly to Mo Xi, and then in Mo Xi's surprised gaze, he turned his back and resisted Mo Xi, regardless of whether he was at the high free throw line at this time.

O'Neill whispered to Moxi, "How's it going, baby, miss me?" I didn't see you coming to me for a whole verse, and I thought you were scared. Although O'Neill knew how many words he said, Mo Xi might not reply to him, but he still couldn't help it.

Camby was so moved that he almost cried, sure enough, he was a good brother, this wave of hatred was very stable, and he went straight to you, without even looking at me.

Phil Jackson sneered off the court, he looked at the Knicks' bench, Van Gundy was looking at the court with an indifferent face, but Phil Jackson could clearly feel the shock and anxiety in his heart. Phil Jackson secretly said in his heart: "Still too young, do you think the chaos in New York was wrenched by Auerbach alone?" ”

It is said that there are two kinds of coaches in the league, one is the coach of the Celtics, and the other is the coach outside the Celtics, and Phil Jackson is the second, he spent most of his playing days with the Knicks, and here he also followed Reed and others to win the only two championships in New York, and then his legendary Bulls career, Phil Jackson's connections in New York are not small, and the strength of the dark box operation is not inferior to anyone, obviously, he has reached some deal with Auerbach. (The most failed off-court operation in league history was when the Magic recruited Duncan and refused to let Duncan's ex-wife get on a special plane to go to the road...... If this is New York, just send him a special plane)

Mo Xi suddenly faced O'Neill again, and he couldn't adapt for a while, and was directly eaten by O'Neal.

Changed to the Knicks offense, O'Neal directly changed the defense to Mo Xi's side, no matter what position Mo Xi is, he must be on the same page as Mo Xi, for O'Neal, he also has his own pride, since he is on the court, then no matter what position he is, he has to play with the best interior line on your court, because he is O'Neal, he can beat anyone.

Johnson temporarily took on the responsibility of the organization, but his organization seemed very free or irresponsible, he passed the ball directly to Mo Xi, Mo Xi squeezed it, and passed the ball out, Johnson waited for Mo Xi to stand firm again, and decisively passed the ball to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi was a little hesitant at this time, Johnson's meaning was clear, that is, let Mo Xi single O'Neal.

Singles O'Neal is a tough subject in the league after '98.

Mo Xi arched his back and hit his hips directly into O'Neal, O'Neill had to shrink back, but his upper body was leaning out and sticking to Mo Xi's body, and for a while, Mo Xi couldn't stand up.

But Mo Xi didn't sit still, he dribbled the ball on the ground hard, and then turned around quickly, turned over and jumped, but O'Neal's reaction and bounce power were destined to such an offensive choice was not a good choice, sure enough, O'Neill took off directly, and came over towards the ball in Mo Xi's hand, and it looked like it was about to come down.

But the audience in the front row watched very carefully, when Mo Xi made the shooting action, the action under his feet had not been completed, this was a fake action that was not a feint, and Mo Xi's foot stretched out in front of him was not withdrawn at all.

Mo Xi lightly retracted his foot from behind him, turned around directly, just let O'Neal pass, and then leaned back slightly, jumping and shooting.

Mo Xi's rhythm is very good, this ball he safely chose to play the board into the frame, Mo Xi pulled back a city, and directly returned a goal to O'Neal face to face.
