Chapter 235: Agent Zero makes trouble in Boston

In the next attack, Mo Xi confidently stepped forward to build a wall for Arenas.

The Celtics didn't choose to change their defense, and even the center didn't even delay a moment, directly blocking the way for Mo Xi to impact the basket, as for Ricky Davis, who was in the No. 1 position, he carefully wiped it from Mo Xi's side and chased Arenas, just looking at it like this, his defensive focus still seems to be on Mo Xi.

Arenas went straight to the basket, and the Celtics' power forward quickly came out to make up for it.

Seeing the opportunity, Ricky Davis also stepped forward decisively and sandwiched Arenas back and forth.

Mo Xi, who was already in the battle to break free, instantly felt a light pressure, turned around lightly, directly wiped the defender, and rushed to the basket, while opening his hands in front of his chest to prepare to catch the ball.

However, the pass he expected did not materialize. Arenas glanced at Mo Xi after blocking and dismantling, and found that his position was not good, so he decisively turned on the free mode, rushed directly, and faced the opponent's reinforcement personnel, Arenas instantly stopped and jumped.

It was at this time that Ricky Davis behind him also arrived, and Arenas was instantly sandwiched into a pie.

But who is the guy in front of him wearing the zero Knicks jersey, this is Gilbert Arenas, Arenas is in the air, it seems that his wrist has moved, and he wants to pass the ball to Mo Xi, who has followed up, but Mo Xi's position always seems to have been stared at to death, and the next second someone will come out of nowhere to block him, so Arenas is very decisive to complete a stop-and-go jump shot on the top of the head of the man who is more than two meters on the opposite side.

"Bang~", Arenas' shot smashed on the rebound and bounced out.

It was a long rebound, and the Knicks' two interior lines failed to react, and the rebound was directly collected by Pierce.

Pierce directly attacked quickly, but the speed was reduced just after halftime, and without him, the Knicks' current lineup can be said to be their fastest defensive lineup. The Celts slowly fell into position.

However, the Celtics' offense is still not improving, although Pierce at this time is infinitely close to his peak, and the front line facing the Knicks can perfectly form a violent situation, but under the defense of the Knicks' inner giant spirit, he can only choose less efficient mid-to-long-range shooting.

After defending against another attack by the Celtics, Mo Xi chose to block again, only this time he avoided Arenas, who had already hit the head, and chose Anthony.

As a 03 rookie, or one of the few top five picks to enter the playoffs, it is impossible to say that Anthony has no pressure, although the pressure is not as small as the pride in his heart, the kind of small show-off, but there are still real worries, he formed a momentary small fight when he blocked and dismantled, it stands to reason that our NCAA MVP should not hesitate to encounter this situation, but this is not his team, and the atmosphere of the playoffs is too strong, this is an away game, Even in March Madness, he didn't experience such an environment.

A momentary hesitation put Anthony in a dilemma, but he quickly adjusted, raised his head, looked in Moxi's direction, and passed the ball.

At this time, Mo Xi's heart is gloomy, what should I say, he admires Anthony's behavior now, fortunately, there is a person who does not do whatever he wants like Arenas, but this pass is really desperate.

Mo Xi jumped hard under the sandwich of two people, almost stepping on the three-point line to receive the pass, and at this time he was only one and a half steps away from Anthony, who had just passed the ball to him. All the previous blocking and dismantling seem to have become useless at this moment.

However, after consuming so long, the ball was already in his hand again, Mo Xi didn't plan to deal with the ball too much, resisted the defender behind him, and directly turned around with his signature back and the ball was directly killed under the basket.

Turn around, start.

Before Mo Xi raised his arm to dunk, he was directly stopped, and the Celtics in order to prevent Mo Xi from playing 2+1, the two clean and neat people stepped forward to foul together, just to hold Mo Xi down.

In order to protect himself, Mo Xi did not force a layup, but stayed in place. It's just that at this moment, Mo Xi's eyes are lit with a raging fire and a trace of nostalgia.

How many years have passed, Mo Xi seems to have seen the iron-blooded era when he first entered the alliance, thinking that he was educated like this back then, but he didn't expect that after five or six years, he would encounter such treatment again.

Mo Xi chewed gum and walked to the free throw line and started the free throw. Mo Xi's preparation time for this free throw is extraordinarily long, he is using the free throw time to think, now this situation, it seems that the Celtics are determined to stop him from attacking, it doesn't matter any means, as long as it can disrupt the Knicks' offensive rhythm, if that's the case, then simply the Knicks also play a little ruthlessly, Mo Xi directly turned into a role player state, let Arenas and Anthony start the main offense, and Mo Xi only needs to do a good job of defense.

After making up his mind, Mo Xi took advantage of the time to high-five Arenas and quickly whispered a few words to him, and Arenas's face flashed with joy.

How many years have passed, seeking power and usurping the throne, and changing the dynasty is today!

Arenas even had the title in mind for the post-game press interview, the ruler of the Knicks, Volcano Zero, Ink, in the most critical moment of the game, to him, the great Agent Zero, Gilbert Arenas, the free-throw line Tol.

The Knicks' offensive focus instantly tilted into the hands of Arenas, although they were still playing with the rhythm, but the irrepressible power of the offense had obviously overflowed, although the pace was slow, but the fans could still clearly feel the irrepressible madness from Gilbert.

Arenas and Pierce started a different mode of match-up, but one couldn't get into the inside, and the other just thought it was too much time to get inside. The two became pure fighting, so after going back and forth, there was no obvious change in the difference between the two sides, and the Knicks finally entered the halftime with a five-point advantage.

The atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room is still very relaxed, the team is now leading by a big score, this game is also in the lead, and it seems that the opponent has no special solution.

But only a few people saw something different.

The Knicks' coaching staff has seen it very clearly off the court, and the Celtics have now hit the nail on the head to catch several of the Knicks' most well-known weaknesses, the age of the starting lineup, the youth and inexperience of the young players, not to mention the holes in the defense; Ratlleaf, on the other hand, benefited from his excellent defensive senses, and his instincts told him that there was something wrong with the team, but he couldn't feel what it was; Although Mo Xi was in the game, he also saw the problem by relying on his superb ball quotient, but he did not come up with a perfect solution; As for the rest, Mo Xi can only regret that even the tactical manual has been explained to them little by little, and it is difficult for him to have higher expectations for his teammates.

The halftime pass quickly, the players are about to play, at this moment, George Karl appeared, although this time without making changes may be the best way to deal with it, but the entire Knicks coaching staff is cautious about this, since the problem has arisen, it is better to find a way to solve him, otherwise, the Knicks will eventually swallow the bitter fruit.

George Carr sorted out his thoughts and said: "Hi gentlemen, the coaching staff has some small thoughts to share with you, we have built up enough advantages at home in the first two games, and we are in a very good situation in this game, considering that we still have a young man with good potential, we want to make some changes, as a reward for this young man, Carmelo Anthony will start in place of Houston in the second half, and Arenas, you will start in place of Jason." “

Regarding George Karl's change of lineup, the Knicks' players don't know whether it's okay or not, and they don't agree with it or oppose it.

In fact, this kind of adjustment is the strongest lineup of the Knicks in a sense, but Houston, as the captain of the New York Knicks, is still the soul, and now the decline in strength is not very serious, and a lot of playing time has been sacrificed, so in order to give the veteran enough respect, he has been put in the starting lineup, and Sprewell here is just very simple, and New York has not found a good enough second substitute.

At the same time as changing this lineup, George Karl also made a slight adjustment to the tactics, Mo Xi will be promoted as a high position, Arenas will open the main attacker mode, Anthony and Sprewell assist, but these two people don't seem to feel very good today, and in the next game, the offensive burden of the Knicks is likely to be all on Arenas' shoulders alone.

But some people, especially people like Arenas, are born with a feeling that way.

Arenas didn't play well throughout the first half, and even when he continued to play for him in the final moments of the first half, he only scored seven points, and in the third quarter, Arenas began to really fire up.

One thing is for sure when you have a player like Arenas on the floor, even with a pacing controller on the court, Arenas can still take the tempo into his control, attack quickly, shoot the basketball, and then come back and attack quickly and shoot.

When Arenas is attacking, the Knicks' tactics are simple, because Arenas' offensive style itself is simple, as long as someone can jam the basket, then Arenas can score anywhere in the opponent's half.

And on the other hand, Pierce, because the Knicks have two gods under the basket, Mo Xi and Ratliff, not only Pierce, but the entire Celtics score under the basket is pitiful, and in the first half just now, the entire Celtics scored only a little more than ten points under the basket.

The entire Celtic backcourt was nothing in front of Arenas.

Arenas dribbled through the halfcourt, Mo Xi stepped forward to block and dismantle, the Celtics defender was about to go around behind him, Arenas directly took a lunge, topped a three-point shot, and shot a three-point shot next to Mo Xi. This is actually a sideline ball, at this time the rules of the league do not allow blocking outside the three-point line, and the cooperation of the two people this time looks like a cover, but the cover of Mo Xi is not in place, and it is completed by stepping on the three-point line, which can be said to be a complete shot shot by stepping on the rules.

Arenas's burning ambition has not only brought him an increase in his desire to score, but more amazingly, it seems that even his hand has also improved.

Arenas' ball went straight into the hollow.

The Knicks' next attack, this time the offense was led by Moxi, Arenas handed the ball to Moxi, who came to the high post, Moxi Sigma turned, dribbled and then turned his back to resist the opponent, and directly handed the ball to Arenas, who ran past him again, and at the same time made a solid cover.

Arenas slammed into the basket with the ball.

Arenas' physical talent is not explosive, but it is also quite good, and he is forced against the defender under the Celtics' basket, causing a foul and playing a 2+1.

Arenas began to enjoy the treatment of Mo Xi when he was playing singles with the ball, all kinds of small hits, all kinds of empty shots after covering, and the whole person was completely high.

From a certain point of view, Arenas can also be regarded as a peerless genius, a peerless genius of hard work, although he occasionally gets nervous, but Arenas's hard work talent is definitely the group of people who are full.

The arrogant and sensitive Arenas was "talked" by Mo Xi at the beginning of the season, in fact, he had a vague idea of running away in his heart, but he thought about Mo Xi's dynasty greatness, and he was still in the rookie contract, so he had to press it down, but in fact, how much he wanted to prove himself, he could also lead the team to win victory after victory like Mo Xi.

And now, the opportunity has finally arrived, and this is the stage for him to prove himself.

The more Arenas fought, the angrier he became, the more he fought, the more he fought, the more he felt.

The Green Shirts lost inexplicably in their opinion, obviously they had already restrained each other very well, but what was the matter with this sudden zero, he already had such a powerful firepower.

In the third game, the Knicks still beat the Celtics on their home court, and in this game, they had a mediocre performance, only 19 points and 9 rebounds, and Arenas became the only superstar to shine on the day.

Arenas had 36 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, 29 of which came in the second half, and with such a crazy performance, the Celtics made it through the first round with most of their bodies.

This game disappointed many people, and the most disappointed of them was not anyone from the Green Shirts, but the coaches of the Knicks Sniper United Front who provided information, they didn't get any information they wanted at all, after all, the Celtics were too weak, and I hope that the next round of games can meet their ideas.
