Chapter Forty-Three: The First Skill Pack of Ink Regret
On the night of January 5, the Knicks host the Celtics. After defeating the strong rival Dallas Mavericks, the Knicks were very morale, although it did not reach the point where Lao Tzu was invincible in the world, but since Mo Xi released cruel words, the atmosphere in the Knicks team has become hot with the naked eye.
In the locker room, Mo Xi is flipping through his own physics magazine, which is really a terrible thing, when someone is looking through a magazine in front of you that you can't even read, what kind of mood do you have? Even Van Gundy, the Knicks' most educated at the moment, sometimes can't read Mo Xi's books at all, so you can imagine how much pressure Mo Xi's academic bully usually brings to the Knicks' players.
But unfortunately, the topic of today's locker room is still related to Mo Xi, but Mo Xi is not the protagonist, the protagonist is the famous old man.
Sprewell took down Moxi's physics journal with a trembling hand, and carefully put it aside, when he was in college, he owed an elective in physics, and was almost forced to drop out, thanks to the coach who saved him, Sprewell said: "Hey, Mo, I heard that you went shopping with that old red man for a day in the morning, when did you have such a heavy taste?" ”
Mo Xi glanced at Sprewell and said, "Yesterday, the old man found me and said that he wanted to go around New York, so I walked with him, but I have no plans to release the water today. "Just kidding, I'm such a low-key person, would I tell you how the old man praised me yesterday?
As the record gets better and better, the atmosphere in the Knicks team is getting more and more enthusiastic, although there is still most of the season to go, but the Knicks are not worried that they will stay away from the playoff spots in their current state, of course, if one day Mo Xi, Sprewell and Houston go out and get hit by a car together, there is still a chance that they will not enter the playoffs.
At this time, the Knicks' last home court for the three consecutive masters, after this game, the Knicks will go to Texas to start their western journey, and continue to play against the Texas three heroes to test their true strength. As a result, this Knicks home game will also be the last time many New York fans sit on the scene to watch the Knicks play during this period of time, and there are many people who come, which is almost the one on Christmas.
Although he also grew up on the streets of Los Angeles, Paul Pierce did not have much in touch with Mercy and Arenas, and the exchange between the two sides was limited to ordinary nods and greetings. Paul Pearce, like Moxie, was officially promoted to the leadership of the team at the end of last season, and it will be the first time this season that the two new Eastern Conference giants have faced each other, and the two teams are also direct contenders for a playoff spot.
Arenas can be said to have held back his strength in this game, and he finally won the opportunity to play, and he was full of joy that he also had a chance to play in this game, and Mo Xi watched from the side, and did not dare to tell him the truth, a bench player in the league, unless there is a large number of injuries in the team, or you are performing too well, otherwise, it is normal to play only three or four minutes a month, after all, the coach still needs you to have some feeling on the field, so that you don't know what to do when you play.
The Knicks started with five Tigers, and there was still no change, with Moxie, Thomas, Sprewell, Houston, Mark Jackson; The Celtics' lineup is still based on twin stars as the core, Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker form the front court, Tony Barty sits on the inside, plus there is a super newcomer Joe Johnson this year, with a passable Kenny Anderson, it can be said that the Green Army has undergone a huge change in style and technique and tactics as a whole, their offensive firepower is more powerful, on the contrary, the defense is very fragile, among the starters, the best defense is Paul Pierce.
It can be said that these two teams show a very delicate situation in the East, the old powerhouses are clinging to defense, and using this to suppress the emerging outside quarterbacks as the core, such as the Raptors, Magic, 76ers, etc., and the current Celtics are gradually developing in this direction.
At the beginning of the game, it was again Mo Xi who took the lead, jumped the ball, and after advancing to the halfcourt, Mark Jackson handed the ball to Alan Houston, who came out to catch the ball, but his hand was not fully opened, and the first shot missed.
However, the Celtics' interior line is really a huge problem now, Tony Barty's defense belongs to the upper middle level, but due to physical fitness, his defensive ability has not been able to improve, just opened, Mo Xi felt full of strength, after judging that Houston's ball was off, he immediately predicted the rebound position, opened his arm to block Barty behind him, jumped over, grabbed the frontcourt rebound, Mo Xi turned around and flashed Bhatty, and the basket was split with one hand.
Mo Xi used the rebounding that he was not good at to get the Knicks off to a good start.
The Celtics quickly responded with Antoine Walker shooting directly outside the three-point line, but Antoine was too big and shot directly against Thomas, and under the latter's interference, the ball hit the iron, and the rebound was once again accepted by Moxi.
The Knicks didn't opt for a fast break, after all, the Knicks' engine, Mark Jackson, couldn't run either.
This time, Mo Xi still did not choose to attack, Thomas missed the shot, and the two sides began to play iron for more than two minutes.
After the Knicks collected the rebound again, Mo Xi began to choose his own singles.
Mo Xi casually asked for a position and began to sit and play Tony Barty, Tony Barty's strength is okay, although he is not a leader in the interior group of the powerful center in the East, but the anti-first resistance can still be done, but the key to the problem is that there is no center in the East that combines technology and strength in the prime of play.
Mo Xi resisted Barty, advanced two steps inward, and then turned directly to the bottom line to the basket, Barty followed step by step, saw the basket, Mo Xi did not retract the momentum, directly to the other side of the basket, Barty thought that Mo Xi was going to go to the basket, stride over to block in advance, but unexpectedly Mo Xi suddenly turned his feet, turned over and turned out of the basket, came to the other side, directly hooked his hand, and the ball went in.
Madison Square Garden resounded with waves of cheers, which was a dream dance move of Moxi, which combined the characteristics of Olajuwon and Ewing at the same time, first using his own strength to win space for himself, pushing strongly, then using his feet to shake or pass his opponent, and then using his physical advantage to bounce off the opponent, and then repeatedly turning and shaking to win a comfortable shot for himself.
Mo Xi looked down at his hands, he felt good today, and he would have played a little more in the first quarter.
Mo Xi himself doesn't know how far he will go if he drives a little more, anyway, Fan Gundy also thought in his heart off the field, Mo Xi seems to be in a good state today, is his girlfriend coming to the scene? No, I didn't see it, according to this posture, he will be able to play full in the first quarter.
