Chapter Eighty-Five: The Center Can Not Pass
Although the Heat's interior line is at a height disadvantage, but there is one point, the Knicks are unexpected, today's Knicks generally feel bad, the entire first half of the thirty-seven points, nearly nineteen points are penalty area scores, and ten are free throws, it can be said that the Knicks' shooting today is outrageous, although Van Gundy put the team's offensive focus on the inside, but obviously the Knicks today outside the line is not found to feel that he never expected, as a last resort, Van Gundy intends to give it a go. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"In the second half, you started in place of Johnson, don't go outside, go all out and attack inside, Pat, I need you to play tougher." Van Gundy began to line up, the defensive intensity in the first half was very large, and the physical strength consumed was also huge, Ewing was already a little unbearable, but he still nodded stubbornly.
Before going on the court, Ewing specially left Mo Xi behind, and the two talked in a low voice.
"I can already use what I taught you last time." Ewing said calmly.
"I've mastered everything, but I haven't used it much on the field, and it's not very good." Mo Xi replied.
Throughout the season, when he was usually training, almost as soon as he had time, Ewing would call Mo Xi over to open a small stove, almost teaching him all his skills. There is still no shortage of seedlings of some good centers, but in New York, it seems that only Mo Xi is the most likely to take over Ewing's banner, and with the alumni relationship between the two, Ewing is also happy to be a coach.
Ewing continued: "I'll teach you one more in a moment, not the technique, not the mentality, not the philosophy, but the way the center plays. ”
Mo Xi heard in the clouds, the way the center plays? Isn't that what he is now?
At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks took the lead in attacking.
The ball passed through the half, and Ward gave the ball directly to Ewing in the high post.
Theoretically, the high post is not an offensive dessert for a traditional center, first, it is too far away from the basket, and if you want to attack directly, you can only rely on a turnaround jumper, and secondly, it is too close to the center, where holding the ball is too dangerous for a very tall center, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful. Conversely, a center's ability to play brilliantly in such a position is determined by his ability, with the exception of Bill Russell, of course.
Ewing holds the ball with his back, just relying on PJ Brown who switched defenses, obviously the Heat have also made targeted adjustments, as the only reliance on the Heat's current scoring, Pat Riley doesn't want Mourning to consume too much energy on the defensive end because of the entanglement with Ewing, although the defense still has to be done, but obviously the pressure brought by Mo Xi is less than Ewing, but according to the current scenario, this year may be the last time this situation happens.
Ewing suddenly exerted force, half turned around, pushed away Marley, who was going to come over, resisted PJ-Brown, and strode inward, it stands to reason that Ewing at this time was already solid on the downhill road of a center, and PJ-Brown was in the prime of life, but to Moxi's jaw-dropping, PJ-Brown had no ability to resist at all, and was forced to take two steps back by Ewing.
Seeing that Brown was overwhelmed, Mo Ning did not hesitate, and immediately threw off Mo Xi to go to defense, and Mo Xi also began to move, directly inserting it into the basket, intending to pick up Ewing.
According to common sense, Ewing's ball has attracted Mourning's attention, and it can be hoisted to the basket, but now, Ewing only thinks
This is Miami, but I'm the king of centers in the East!
On the shoulder, squeezing PJ-Brown, holding each other with his right hand, shaking his body, and making a big hook from a distance, tough, but full of a classical beauty. Ewing made a near-vexatious shot, and then the ball went in vexatiously.
On the Heat's side, Hardaway attacked the basket directly after blocking and pick-and-roll, scoring two points on Moxi's head. It's back to the Knicks offense.
It was given directly to Ewing again, this time, Ewing received the ball in the low post, and Mo Xi came to the high post to involve Ewing.
This time, PJ-Brown had almost exhausted all his strength to resist Ewing, and Ewing really couldn't help him for a while, but Ewing was the most deadly, but his one-handed turnover jumper.
"Hyper" chiseled twice, Brown pushed harder and harder, Ewing suddenly retracted his strength, retreated, raised his hand, turned over and shot with a small back.
Brown couldn't hold back and pounced directly on Ewing.
Ewing propped up, as if he didn't realize it, and shot directly when there was still a person hanging on his body.
The whistle blows and the ball goes in
2+1。
Ewing glanced at PJ-Brown with an almost disdainful look, and it was clear in his eyes, thinking that when Lao Tzu was crisscrossing the East Coast, you were still studying in college and picking up girls! Even if this is Miami, it's part of the East.
Brown was a little unwilling, but more helpless, he really couldn't understand, where could this old man still have so much energy?
It's not just Brown, even if it's a teammate, at this moment, Mo Xi and Sprewell, the two people who have been teammates with Ewing for the shortest time, are also a little suspicious on the court, it turns out that this is the patron saint of New York.
was beaten twice on his own inside, Mo Ning felt so uncomfortable, he had to return one to be decent, but who knew that he was advancing halfway through, and he was actually caught in the encirclement and suppression of the Knicks.
Behind him by Ewing on the top, the strength can't be used, and there is a quiet touch next to him, and he can't turn around, Mo Ning then forcibly pushed Ewing, intending to use his strength to turn over and jump shot, but, at this time, he only felt a pain in the back (so strange...) Sprewell also came over at some point, and hit Mo Ning directly on the back shoulder, so that Mo Ning couldn't make a move.
The second soft point of the Heat compared to the Knicks is that the Heat's free throws are too bad. This is especially evident in this game, when the Knicks' free throw shooting rate is as high as 90%, while the Heat are only 55%, in fact, throughout the series, although the Heat's free throw shooting rate is not too high, but it is not so bad, all this can only be said to be timely.
Mourning hit one of two free throws, the Knicks defended the ball, and the Knicks attacked again.
Once and twice in a row, the Heat were singled out by Ewing, which is a shame for a top powerhouse that emphasizes defense.
This time, Mo Ning did not hesitate to step forward to cover Ewing.
It's just that suddenly, Ewing seems to have really returned to the time when he shook the world many years ago, and even felt that these legs were like going back to college.
Ewing simply ignored Mo Xi, who was completely empty on the other side, and turned around directly, placing himself between Mourning and PJ-Brown, as if he had thrown himself into a net. But that's it, Ewing pushed back and forth, leaned on Mourning, lowered his center of gravity, and pulled out a space with his foot stuck in PJ-Brown, and then jumped between the two.
Mourning and PJ-Brown also jumped, and for a moment the three long men flew into the sky almost simultaneously.
Ewing was obviously unrealistic to dunk, he didn't want to do that, after the three of them reached the highest point in no particular order, Ewing gently threw the ball out, just like Mo Xi hit Mourning in the first quarter, a straight up and down trajectory, the ball fell straight into the basket, leaving only Mourning's face of resentment and Brown's face full of puzzlement.
Ewing pulled Mo Xi and said to him: "This is the last thing I taught you, the center can not pass the ball!" Patting Mo Xi on the back, Ewing continued, "You can try it. ”
So, Mo Xi really came to try, in the land of the playoffs, in the seventh game of life and death, at the anxious node of the game, at the guidance of Ewing, he really began to play like a center.
Mo Xi caught the ball and directly slammed Mo Ning. Originally, Mo Ning had already taken a half-winding defense against Mo Xi, but Ewing's outburst made him shift his focus to Ewing for a while, and if he was not careful, Mo Xi had already received the ball on the bottom line, although there were still three or four steps away from the basket, but it was also very dangerous.
Mo Xi seems to be a little hesitant, I don't know whether to beat Mo Ning, after all, Mo Ning's defensive ability is really strong, at the moment Ewing is in the right hand, although it is Ewing passed to Mo Xi, but Mo Xi passed back to Ewing, and it is also a good choice for Ewing to continue to play Brown.
Marley consciously saw Mo Xi's hesitation, and stepped forward directly, intending to cut off Mo Xi's ball in one go.
However, seeing Marley step forward, Mo Xi suddenly shook the ball, and Marley thought that Mo Xi was going to distribute the ball to the outside Houston, so he quickly stopped, but found that Mo Xi was just a feint, and in fact, he had pulled his center of gravity back, and he wanted to shoot directly half-turned. Marley hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the position of Moxi's backward shot behind him.
But Mo Xi is another feint, when Mo Ning pasted it, he suddenly held the ball and hit it directly, the two directly collided with each other, sparks splashed, Mo Xi took the initiative, this time it actually knocked Mo Ning away, and there was a hole in the defense, passing? Anyone can do it!
Mo Xi exerted his strength for the second time, and suddenly rose from the ground, although his body was a little unstable, it was more than enough to get rid of Marley behind him.
Mo Xi gently put the ball in the basket, and the Knicks played a small 8-3 surge.
