After losing the first game, the momentum that the 76ers had accumulated to repel the Celtics was also cut in half, and now the 76ers have lost their original sharpness, of course, there is one exception, that is, Iverson.

As the boss of the team, Iverson burned the flame in his heart all over the team, but sometimes, an assassin can only be an assassin, and even if Jing Ke kills Yingzheng, there will be the next First Emperor.

The two sides seized time to rest and prepare for the second game in New York.

After the 76ers lost their enterprising mentality in the second game, New York's strong fan power began to exert its power, but everywhere you can see, you can see all kinds of ridiculous posters and small cartoons of the Knicks beating the 76ers.

When they returned to Madison Square Garden, they found that it was the most terrifying place compared to the distractions of the outside world.

As soon as the 76ers' feet stepped into the court, the overwhelming boos began one after another, and the important thing is that New York fans were taking all kinds of wonderful pictures of the first game, of course, it was the Knicks, painted on all kinds of cardboard, constantly shaking, constantly provoking the 76ers.

In such a situation, the 76ers' players generally have a little "little restlessness in adolescence", which is almost inevitable, because their boss has always been the most fierce person, which cannot be said that Iverson is not suitable for leading the team, but he is better at infecting the whole team with his enthusiasm for the game and desire to win.

The 76ers' offense is starting to get more intense, which is very different from their usual style, but the Knicks love it. Because the most powerful thing about the Knicks is not that they are not afraid of any challenger, but that they can calmly face any offense, in the playoffs, even if the Kings who prevented them from winning thirty in a row before, the reinforced concrete defensive style of the Knicks is destined to be weak, not to mention the wolf pack tactics of the 76ers, which is more of a "wolf pack tactic" than the Timberwolves, the entire 76ers under the leadership of the head wolf Iverson, began to frantically attack the Knicks' position, and the Knicks' defense always looks shaky, However, the 76ers never hit more than 36% from the field.

After the first quarter, the 76ers, who had been clearly dominating the court, were led by the Knicks by 6 points, and the 76ers fell behind 20:26.

Iverson scored 9 points and 2 assists, but the shooting rate was a little low, only 33%, and on the other hand, the Knicks, Mo Xi is now completely in playoff mode, and the entire Knicks are attacking around Mo Xi, not that Mo Xi has become a ball bully, but the current Mo Xi efficiency is too terrible. Mo Xi made four shots in the first quarter, plus three free throws, cut 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and also accounted for more than half of the team's scoring contributions, the most important thing is his super high efficiency.

Mutombo is a little confused, facing O'Neal in the finals last season, although ok and Iverson are so dazzling, but in fact, Mutombo's performance is also impeccable, a center who can still cut 17+12+2 in the finals in the face of O'Neal, is a top existence in that aspect, but now, this center with a defensive label actually made Mo Xi play such a performance in one section, and he himself began to waver.

At first, when people said that Mo Xi had grown into a center no less than O'Neal, Mutombo thought it was an exaggeration from the media, after all, Mo Xi was in New York, which in itself was a huge innate advantage, he thought Mo Xi was very strong, but maybe it was just like the intensity of O'Neill Jr., but in the first game, he changed this idea a little, and he felt that Mo Xi seemed to be really different. And now, he thinks that those who compare Mo Xi to O'Neill really seem right. Moxi never showed a huge presence on the field like O'Neal, but he was like water, everywhere and all the time, and when you notice him, you will see that the game is coming to an end.

The game continued, the two sides began to make rotations, the biggest feature of the Knicks' bench is that it is extremely strong, especially the point of the interior, several substitute interior players, Ewing, Camby, although now more in the third position, but in fact, the fourth position can still play Johnson plus an Osara Harrington, these four people are enough for the Knicks to make various adjustments in the rotation. However, this is not the biggest bright spot in the Knicks' rotation, the biggest highlight is their zero.

Arenas was sullen throughout the regular season, he felt that no matter how active and serious he was in training, how well he played in the game, it seemed that he could not get Van Gundy's attention, and his boast of being a starter in half a season came to naught, Arenas played 54 games in the Knicks this regular season, playing an average of 6 minutes, and his efficiency was not bad, he was able to score 5.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists, almost a point every minute.

Just when he thought he was going to be dropped with the Knicks, Van Gundy's change in strategy in the playoffs turned out to be a magical boon.

Iverson's strategic position has improved, and he has become the first shot option for the bench lineup, you know, in the second team of the Knicks, although Mo Xi is rested, there will still be one of Sprewell or Houston on the court, plus Ewing or Larry Johnson, the second team of the Knicks can also be called "star-studded", but Van Gundy gave Arenas the right to fire first in the second team.

"I'm the best point guard in the East, no, the best point guard in the entire league, and I'll let you know that you didn't make a mistake." Arenas made such a bold statement in front of everyone in the locker room.

No one thought it was funny because they saw madness in Arenas' eyes, and they were familiar with it because they experienced it, like that summer, that summer of miracles that began in the eighth seat of the East.

After the start of the second quarter, Arenas became the biggest focus on the court during the period when Iverson and Mo Xi were off the court, and even shot in four minutes, directly slashing 8 points, during this time the Knicks' balls were all in Arenas's hands, but Arenas was strong enough, and he was not bad enough to chisel in, and on the 76ers' side, although Arenas's defense was somewhat transparent, he still only scored four points, and the Knicks pulled the score to ten.

Timeout, the 76ers hurriedly called a timeout, Iverson and Mutombo returned to the court, and the Knicks did not immediately replace Mo Xi, but replaced him with Ewing to play a little longer, so that Mo Xi had a good rest.

The Knicks' strength is too strong, and the 76ers are already a little out of breath, and next, they must force a wave of guard matchups from Iverson to force the decline. 10
