Many representatives of the league are in the same vein, and the Pacers have one here, Guru "Big Bird" Larry Bird, and Disciple "Bigshot" Reggie Miller, these two have not only completed the inheritance on three-point shooting, but also trash talk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Moreover, compared to Bird's scolding without swearing, Miller is much more direct, the older generation of trash talk masters are "artists", and these younger generations have not yet been trained, and can only be regarded as street performers.

But even the level of street art is not so easy to match

"Hey, gorilla, I heard that your hand was connected, and this time you can finally eat bananas with peace of mind."

"Isn't this parallel Houston? I heard that you are good at singing, come and give me a solo concert? All you have to do is sing, 'Ah, ah, this man is amazing, help, yes.'" ”

"Ah, sweet little Ward, remember my three-pointer?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot, you weren't born then, it was Mark Jackson, sorry I can't remember the names of the kids I was taught."

"Yo, big man, butter cake? You should go play table tennis, this is not the place for you, go back to your mother, say that you are hungry, and she will definitely feed you. ”

"That stupid black stick, what about you, did you see that Aston Martin at the door? How many years do you think you'll have to sell your ass to be able to afford it? ”

……

Mo Xi has always boasted of being mentally focused, not affected by trash talk, but this time I had to take it, when I warmed up before the game, Miller actually came over alone and started spraying, and Mo Xi felt that his head was big.

Before the game started, the referee began to stare at this side, but after all, the game hadn't started yet, no matter how to give the whistle, even if the referee couldn't give T.

However, Reggie Miller, as the inheritor of trash talk, still has his own creed, which definitely does not involve his family, and secondly, the scriptures he took from his teacher Larry Bird, when spraying, stay away from the opposite side of the fight, it is better not to spray them.

Johnson and Sprewell are watching Reggie Miller like a play, they also like to spray people, but they also have self-knowledge, and they are definitely not as good as Reggie Miller in this regard, since the other party didn't scare them, they naturally didn't have much to worry about.

Under the baptism of boundless saliva and rain, Mo Xi returned to the bench in a daze, his brain as if it was about to explode, as if someone had stuffed all the math books from elementary school to college into your head.

By the time Mo Xi came to his senses, the game had already begun, and the situation on the field was a little strange.

When you have two legendary shooters, plus a point guard who is very good at passing the ball on defense, what are you hesitating about, run! Cast it!

The Pacers' offense was fast, with Mark Jackson in control, two shooters constantly on the move, and a big shooter who could pull out and shoot.

Mo Xi felt that this scene was familiar, wasn't this the Knicks' offensive mode?

It's just that the two sides have a big difference in details, which also determines the next direction of the game. Mark Jackson can be said to be one of the strongest point guards at this time, even Kidd is difficult to eat him with his body, so the Knicks' starting point guard Ward is miserable, in the face of old-timers in all senses, Ward has been educated very badly, and in Mo Xi's opinion, there is even a feeling that he has just entered the league, Ward is like an innocent little girl, being played with by Jackson, a black villain. However, the Knicks, on their side, also have their own advantages. Neither Johnson nor Ewing can handle it on the Pacers' inside. In the Pacers, a European center and a coolie inside line were all eaten to death, Ewing seemed to have a faint feeling of returning to the top, hitting Schmitz with his back in a row, and directly letting the opponent foul twice off the court.

The Knicks seemed to have the win, but Bird was quick to respond by replacing Chris Mullin with Jalen Rose, one of the "Michigan Tigers."

This time, the Pacers' lineup is more impactful, and the outside defense has been greatly strengthened, but the opposition is still suppressed by the Knicks on the offensive end of the interior.

Fortunately, the Pacers also have a Reggie Miller presence on the lineup. Van Gundy put Sprewell on the court to replace Houston in order to limit Reggie Miller without curtailing the firepower from the outside, but the results were not satisfactory.

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Huh"

Reggie Miller made several shot-shot gestures in a row, and although Sprewell was close, for Miller, it didn't take space to shoot, and scoring was just a shot, and Miller made four of four shots in the first quarter, including a three-pointer, to score nine points.

It's a pity that the awesome Ewing seems to be back in this game, although the shooting rate is not high in the first quarter, but several times caused the opponent to foul under the basket, the lethality is not reduced, plus Johnson's fire support, the first quarter ended, the Knicks still led 25:21.

There will be a lot of playing time in this game, because the Pacers don't have many people who can pose a threat to the Knicks' basket, and instead of strengthening the interior defense, it is better to let the players directly turn the waves on the Pacers' interior line.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Xi played with Ewing for the first time.

Two good interior attackers who can pass the ball should naturally be paired with a slippery outside shooter on the court, and Ward, Sprewell, and Houston are lined up on the outside.

At this time, Miller was resting off the court, and the Pacers were relying on Mullin and Schmitz to play on the court.

After coming to the Pacers, Schmitz rarely got the opportunity to attack on his own, after all, the team's shooting power was more concentrated in the hands of Mullin and Miller, and in this respect, it was very similar to the Heat's Marshburn.

The Pacers attacked, and Mullin came out to catch the ball through the cover, but unfortunately at this time, Mullin was no longer the left hand of God who was rampant in those years. Before he could make a move, he was caught by Ewing and Sprewell, unable to move. Finally passed the ball, and his teammate's hurried shot bounced off the frame, and Mo Xi accepted the defensive rebound.

The Knicks switched offense to defense.

The Knicks did not play singles in the pure sense, and this ball Ward gave the ball to Ewing in the low post after several command runs, and Ewing at this time formed a big and small game after several rotations, and easily scored the ball.

Quickly back on the defensive end, the Pacers began another round of offense. Mullin couldn't get rid of Sprewell's defense, and the Pacers point guard had to use the most conventional tactics, Schmitz mentioned the free throw line position to block and pick, and after a block, Mo Xi hesitated for a moment and did not change the defense, and continued to follow Schmitz.

The Pacers went inside to face Ewing.

Ewing can be said to be a traditional center that moves slowly, but that doesn't mean that the defense is bad, Ewing's block is still very evocative.

As a result, the ball was distributed outside and given to Schmitz after several turnovers, after all, Moxi's defense was still a little immature in comparison.

Although Schmitz spent his entire formative years in the United States, he still had the cunning of a European center in his bones. First a triple move, tricking a space, and then making a shot shaky.

Mo Xi hesitated for a moment and did not move.

Schmitz then shook again.

Mo Xi believed it a little this time, but he still held it back, took a step forward, and then froze.

It was at this moment that Schmitz took a step under his feet and crossed the step to pass the ink.

Fortunately, Mo Xi reacted quickly enough, and Schmitz couldn't completely get past Mo Xi, so Mo Xi hurriedly followed and stuck to the side.

Suddenly, Schmitz dribbled the ball hard, and a dashing step back caught Mo off guard, and Schmitz hit a jumper.

Even among the white centers in the technical stream, Schmitz's skills are among the best.

However, Schmitz is a little old after all, and he is still a type of strong offense and weak defense, and when he turned around, he was returned by Mo.

This ball Ewing mentioned high and passed to Mo Xi in the low post.

After another round of special training, Mo Xi began to have some ideas about the application of his own strength.

This ball Mo Xi leaned on Schmitz, who was not known for his strength, and had to hold down Mo Xi's back for a while. As soon as he put his hand up, Mo Xi turned around and jumped back to his hand.

This time he still stole from Mashburn, since the Heat, Mo Xi has been very interested in Mashburn's amazing back shooting, even if it is Ewing, Johnson and others' back jumpers are not as good as Mashburn, and even Mo Xi once felt that even if it was the "Joe Gang Leader" in person, only the back jump shot may not be Mashburn's opponent.

Mo Xi is not very sure about the back jumper that is far away, but this kind of close-range Mo Xi is still nine out of ten. Because he had been leaning on Mo Xi before, Schmitz didn't adjust his center of gravity for a while, so he had to stand on the ground and watch the ball fall into the basket.

After a few rounds of back and forth, Bird changed his tactics and replaced Jackson again, eating Ward's physical confrontation. At present, Charles, the best point guard in the Knicks, is replaced by the situation, but he is not Mark Jackson's opponent, I have to say that Jackson's back push is powerful, but fortunately, the Pacers' shooting rate began to decline in this quarter, and the Knicks kept the score.

At the end of the first half, the Knicks still led 44-40.

But how could the Assassin let you know when he struck?
