Chapter 65: The First Section of Rule

Mo Xi was quite emotional when facing Elden Campbell, and the rest of the Knicks were also a little happy to see him start feeding Mo Xi the ball. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After all, if there is a strong point on the court, the game will be much easier for them, not to mention, this strong point is in the fight for the right to play as an All-Star.

The Hornets responded on the offensive end, with Eric Williams making a clever counterrun, pulling directly to the basket, receiving a hanging pass from David Wesley, turning over directly and making a rebound.

The Knicks began to push in, and Mo Xi was officially put into the offensive core by everyone, which was the first time he had played such a role.

Ward handed the ball to Sprewell, who burst out and couldn't get past Eddie Jones with just a small step forward. But Sprewell took advantage of the momentum of the forward rush and passed the ball directly from the side to Moxi.

Mo Xi took a small leap forward to catch the ball. In this position, Elden Campbell left a large space behind him, and Mo Xi glanced at it before swinging his head back.

Mo Xi began to push with his back, so he directly and strongly relied on the body to attack, he only at the beginning of the season, in order to adapt to the body to adopt this style of play, when he found that although his strength had some advantages, but compared with those top insiders, it was still weaker, and he could not rely on his body to achieve an advantage like they could directly convert into scoring, which made him not very enthusiastic about the technique of back body advancement, but today, it was rarely used.

Mo Xi pressed his center of gravity very low, and directly took a big step to push Elden Campbell back, but Campbell reacted quickly, squatted down directly, put his hands on Mo Xi's waist, and forced Mo Xi's advance with force.

It seemed that he felt a strong force coming from behind him, Mo Xi frowned, and pushed back hard, this time, Elden Campbell only stepped back slightly, obviously, Mo Xi did not take too much advantage in this advance. Mo Xi wanted to take a look at the top, Campbell was ready early, but he found that he didn't feel any strength in his hands, only to see Mo Xi take advantage of Campbell's push forward, directly turned around and sank low, walked the bottom line, drilled into the space behind Campbell, dribbled directly to the basket, and raised his hands to shoot.

Campbell hurriedly jumped up to try to block it, but found that he seemed to have been fooled, and forcibly adjusted his body to force himself away from Mo Xi's fall.

But Mo Xi didn't intend to cause the opponent to foul at all, and when the opponent was about to fall, he suddenly got up and sent the ball into the basket with a low hand.

Campbell was beaten again, a little frustrated, and desperate to get one back, but it was clear that his teammates had lost faith in him. In this ball, the Hornets took advantage of the misplaced cover and gave the ball to Eddie Jones, allowing him to form a small and big situation and directly singled out Ewing.

Ewing as Moxi's "instructor" can be regarded as "teaching by word and deed" in many ways, such as now, outside defense, although it is very difficult for the center to defend outside players, but such as Robinson, Ratliff and other inside players can still use their height to interfere and deter outside players, if they are not fast enough and fail to get rid of defenders, they may be chased by others. However, Ewing's footwork was slower, and against a player like Eddie Jones who was very talented in running and jumping, Ewing knew that he couldn't prevent it, so he took a slight step back and guarded the route to the inside. It's just that Ewing has been gone for a while, and he doesn't know about the progress of many people.

After Eddie Jones joined Kobe, he felt that his position was threatened, and began to develop his own shooting, and in recent years, Eddie Jones's shooting has become more and more accurate, especially this season. After seeing Ewing not advance and retreat, Eddie Jones did not hesitate to shoot directly from beyond the three-point line.

"Huh~"

The basketball fell straight into the hoop, splashing a white wave.

Eddie Jones blew his fingers and ran towards the backcourt. The three-pointer was scored and the Hornets stopped the bleeding slightly, but only brought the momentum back a little, because the Knicks still led by five points on eight shots.

The Knicks turned around and attacked again, and this time Ward very simply hoisted the ball directly to Moxi.

But at this time, maybe it was because the previous balls were played too smoothly, and Mo Xi handled the ball a little arrogantly this time. Mo Xi began to chisel in, advanced two or three steps, and gradually reached the edge of the penalty area, Mo Xi suddenly exploded, turned around directly, grabbed the ball with his right hand and swiped upwards from his side, stuck the opponent with his physical advantage, and shot directly with his hook.

This ball Mo Xi played too fast, lost his rhythm, the ball was a little crooked, hit directly on the side of the basket, and bounced out.

Eddie Jones rushed over from the outside and grabbed the rebound on Ewing's head, intending to launch a fast break on his own.

But the Knicks' defense is really powerful, Eddie Jones has just come to the three-point line, most of the Knicks' players have already returned to the defense, and Eddie Jones is directly facing Sprewell's defense.

Eddie Jones glanced at the Knicks' interior, and Sprewell seemed to see Eddie Jones' eyes, and the defense was a little lax, and he also took half a step back.

Eddie Jones suddenly made a move, and Sprell was a little smug, which was clearly a defensive trap for him, and Sprell jumped up and pounced.

But Sprewell didn't expect that Eddie Jones was also a trap this time, he made a false move, put the ball away, hit Sprewell properly, and directly made a three-point foul on the opponent.

In Sprewell's resentful eyes, Eddie Jones hit two of three free throws, and Huang Feng closed the score to two more points, only three points behind the Knicks.

The Knicks attacked again, Ward was a little hesitant, I don't know if I should give the ball to Mo Xi again, at this time the first quarter of the game has passed more than half of the game, it stands to reason, the team should have a normal offensive rhythm, although Mo Xi is in good shape now, but after all, his status in the team is not high, just a little impatient, he lost one, at this time, I only heard Ewing shouting loudly in the high position: "Give him the ball, give it inside." ”

At this time, Ward did not hesitate, since the boss had spoken, what reason did he have not to comply? Ward passed the ball to Murphy again.

Mo Xi glanced at Ewing gratefully, and at this time he could clearly see the status of Big Brother in the team.

The position of this ball is directly on the bottom line, Mo Xi can only go on the line, Mo Xi did not start to exert force, showing off his own steps, but chose to play steadily, he began to arch inward step by step, the range of action is not very large, but each step can bring himself closer to the basket, gradually the Hornet's defense line began to shrink inward, at this time, Mo Xi suddenly lifted the ball, thrown directly to the high Ewing, Ewing received the ball and squeezed away the defenders, directly into the inside, dunk to score.

The ability to assist is also counted as part of the alignment, although Mo Xi's passing is still very young, and he often makes mistakes because of some bold passes, but Mo Xi always has his own unique views on the trend on the court, and can often see the offensive line that others can't see.

Elden Campbell's face is getting worse and worse, it stands to reason that this ball should not be blamed on him but should be the problem of the person who defends Ewing, but now after Mo Xi adds an assist, unless Mo Xi plays mediocre after this game, and the Knicks also lose the game, it is still a little difficult for him to squeeze out Mo Xi to become an All-Star in the East.

The Hornets began to organize their own offense, saying that it was organization, but in fact, it relied more on Eddie Jones' breakthrough points.

Eddie Jones held the ball, lowered his center of gravity, and directly faced the Spréwell defense, and the two faced each other, eye to eye, and began to brew a new storm.

Eddie Jones suddenly started, taking advantage of his starting speed, forced a step forward, crashed into Sprewell and rushed inside, but Sprewell was not slow and followed closely to his side.

However, the Knicks' defense suddenly showed a flaw, and Ward saw Eddie Jones burst in, relaxed the defense of the opposing player, and had some intention of shrinking inside.

But how dare Eddie Jones make such a presumptuous shot in the face of a Buddha like Patrick Ewing, he half-turned in the air, blocked Sprewell, protected the ball, and then passed the ball straight to David Wesley on the outside, who made a direct three-point shot.

Although Ward made a small mistake, he reacted quickly, directly stepped forward and stretched out his arms, interfering with the shot, and the defense was very timely.

David Wesley's shot was blocked, and the shot was just a good shot, hitting the front of the basket, and Mo Xi jumped forward uh, grabbing the rebound before Elden Campbell.

The Hornets offense was fruitless and lost the chance to chase points, and the Knicks attacked.

After the last goal, Ward was also a little relieved about Mo Xi's handling of the ball, and passed the ball directly to Mo Xi without Ewing reminding him.

Mo Xi holds the ball in the waist position, this position is a pure offensive choice for the inside, not to mention that after seeing Mo Xi's ability to respond, Elden Campbell feels that the opponent is becoming more and more difficult to defend.

Mo Xi held the ball in both hands, put it on his chest, and shook it from side to side, Campbell was a little timid, as if he wanted to retreat, but he still didn't retreat after all, but the strength in his hand was not so strong. Mo Xi suddenly poked out his left foot, wanted to step in front of him, his body was shortened, and he flicked his foot outward, as if he was going to turn inside.

Elden Campbell knew that Mo Xi must be exerting force in the opposite direction, so he suddenly added some force to his right, but he didn't dare to put all his strength up, but only paid more attention.

Sure enough, as Campbell expected, Mo Xi was really a feint, Mo Xi directly exerted force on his waist, and with the strength borrowed from the ground by his legs, he directly hit it the right, and chiseled to the inside line from this direction.

Elden Campbell was right, but to no avail, because he was betting on the outcome, but he didn't dare to gamble on the outcome, only slightly resisted and stepped back a bit.

In fact, Elden Campbell's strength is not very bad, the reason why he was squeezed into by Mo Xi so easily is just because he has been beaten by Mo Xi a little suspicious in the previous few balls, and he always feels that there are Diao people who want to harm me, and he thinks too much on the defensive end but is timid, and he falls behind.

Mo Xi chiseled and chiseled, and suddenly turned, not from the right, but from the left side of the initial temptation, and from here he turned directly to the inner line.

Elden Campbell hurriedly moved sideways to block Moxi's offensive lane.

However, Mo Xi was right in front of him, pulling the ball from right to left, and then, the ball was gone.

At some point, Sprewell suddenly made a cross run with Houston, and Sprewell directly shook off Eddie Jones and ran inside. Just as he passed behind Elden Campbell, he made a hand-to-hand pass directly between him and Moxi, and Sprewell received the ball and went straight to the basket.

The Hornets' coach was a little annoyed, and he called a timeout to replace Elden Campbell.

Elden Campbell sat on the sidelines in frustration, looked at Brad Miller who came off the bench, and lamented, if nothing else, this time the Eastern Conference All-Star spot should be out of the way for him.

Brad Miller was a rookie in '98 and entered the league with Moxi, and in a way, the two are similar in many ways, such as poor rebounding, not good enough protection for the basket, and Miller is even worse, his interior offense is not very good, and it seems that he really only applies to the Princeton system. But there is one thing that Mo Xi is far inferior to Brad Miller, and even many centers are not as good as him, and that is Brad Miller's playmaking ability and the fact that he has beaten O'Neal is Shaq O'Neal.

It's just that Brad Miller, who is only in the second year, obviously doesn't have any effective solutions when facing Mo Xi.

Soon, Mo Xi was able to make waves on the Wasp's inside line again.

Brad Maitreya has a very good heavy advantage, almost every white interior line has a relative advantage over other racial interior lines in the same period after entering the league, that is, weight, Brad Miller is almost immobile in the face of Mo Xi's back play, which not only makes Mo Xi raise his eyebrows, but also with this? Mo Xi's competitive spirit burst out, and Miller followed in small steps. At this time, Mo Xi suddenly tightened, lowered his center of gravity a little shorter, and slightly shrugged his shoulders to Brad Miller, this time Mo Xi used real kung fu, although he still practiced a little home, but under this blow, Brad Miller still tragically retreated half a step and let go of half of his body, which happened to be the path to the front of the penalty area.

Taking advantage of the momentum of this blow, Mo Xi used his strength to hit inward twice, and when he confirmed that the opponent's strength was full, he suddenly pulled his feet out of the mud, quickly half-turned, and killed inside, Brad Miller chased closely behind, raising his hands.

At this time, Mo Xi did not use the hook hand, but arrived in front of the penalty area, and suddenly turned again, retreated with his right foot, and shot backwards with his face frame.

Brad Miller stretched out his hand as hard as he could, but he didn't expect that Mo Xi didn't use the hook hand that he was good at, but replaced it with a backward shot. This time he touched Mo Xi's elbow impartially.

2+1 played.

In the first quarter, under the crazy momentum of Moxi, the Knicks led the Hornets by eleven points at 33:22, and Moxi scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 5-of-6 shooting.
