The situation on the field instantly became clearer, or rather, simpler. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn the current situation, Miller and Sprewell's hands are both excellent in this match, so it will depend on who has the stronger helper, and the inside confrontation between Mo Xi and Schmitz will directly determine the victory of this game.

Schmitz returned to the court again, and in the first round, he pulled to the free throw line, and did not cover Miller, just stood there, because of Schmitz's excellent offensive ability and attack distance, Schmitz was here even if the Knicks players didn't want to care about him, and when he passed near him, he was more or less affected.

Although Miller is missing a cover position, but relying on tireless running, Miller still got a position on the wing, but this position is not too good, Miller just received the ball and landed, Johnson has already moved over to fill the position, but Miller does not seem to take Johnson in his eyes, and intends to force a shot against Johnson.

Johnson jumped straight up and tried to force the block, but Miller was just a feint.

Miller broke straight past Johnson and rushed towards the penalty area.

Mo Xi did not hesitate and directly let go of Schmitz to chase Miller.

Miller saw that someone was coming to defend, suddenly made an emergency stop, shook Mo Xi, and made Mo Xi think that he was going to make a quick stop jump shot, and instantly stuck in place, and gently tested forward, while not forgetting to block Schmitz's passing route behind him.

It's a pity that Miller, as a legendary goalscorer, has a strong ability to break through, but he has not been much noticed.

Miller accelerated twice, shook off Mo Xi, and went directly to the basket, at this time only Camby was left under the basket, and he was also the best Knicks interior defensive ability, but what made New York fans feel frustrated was that Camby couldn't completely prevent it and took a foul.

Miller hit both free throws.

The Knicks started to attack, intending to return the color.

Camby stayed under the basket, Mo Xi came to the high post to do a side response, after receiving the pass, Mo Xi half turned to Schmitz, Schmitz's height greatly limited Mo Xi's vision, more can only rely on feeling and experience to judge the situation in other positions.

Mo Xi gave the ball to Johnson, who then distributed it to Sprewell on the wing.

Sprewell forced a punch on Jalen Rose, basically crossed steps, changed direction sharply, forcibly accelerated past Jalen Rose, and killed the inside from the wing. It's just that Sprewell is so strong, Jalen Rose is not too scared, he can still follow Sprewell's side half a step, and plan to give Sprewell a big gift when he is about to go to the basket or make an emergency stop.

Unfortunately, Jalen Rose's defensive trap didn't come in handy, and Sprewell, seeing that he was about to reach the three-second zone, suddenly slowed down, and then passed the ball without looking at people, "no-look-pass", and directly distributed the ball to the Knicks players who followed.

But it is said that Schmitz does have some height advantage in defending Moxi, but just like Johnson's counterpoint, once Moxi pulls out the activity, Schmitz's same problems as other European interior lines are undoubtedly revealed, and his feet move slowly, making it difficult to return to defense quickly.

Mo Xi directly pushed Schmitz to the basket to kill, was receiving Sprewell's ball, facing the opponent's defense from the basket, Mo Xi held the ball in both hands, the center of gravity dropped, his legs bent, and steadily with a force, he broke out violently, flew up, and split his head and face was a fierce slam dunk.

The Pacers players quickly dodged the basket, avoiding the consequences of the backdrop wall.

Off the court, Larry Bird was a little dissatisfied, in his opinion, if this was in their era, it would have been a direct slap down, and you still want to dunk?

Mo Xi was the first to succeed, and Schmitz couldn't sit still.

Schmitz came straight to the basket, and he was going to hit Mo Xi with his back.

At this time, Miller also planned to take a break, simply stopped outside the three-point line, and had a deeper communication with Sprewell, who was defending him.

Schmitz received the ball and slammed it backwards, feeling that he had already sat down before he began to hit it with his back.

In the case of a significant advantage in height and weight, Mo Xi almost didn't have to think about it to know what Schmitz planned to do to him, it must be a wave of strong push with his back first, and then turn around to shoot or step back to shoot, either way, it is Schmitz's forte.

In fact, this ball is still Mo Xi's lack of defensive experience, the Pacers did not replace Mark Jackson, and there are still some small flaws in the passing organization, especially the Pacers' backup point guard is only 180 cm, although Mark Jackson is not very high, which means that as long as Mo Xi goes around the front defense, Schmitz is actually difficult to receive the ball.

Schmitz began to dribble and push, and kept squeezing Mo Xi to the basket.

At this time, Mo Xi is no longer like last year, when he was squeezed twice by Schmitz and went directly to the basket, and now, he can block Schmitz out.

After dribbling a few times, Schmitz frowned slightly, he found that this "small" center had really improved a lot compared to last year, and he couldn't squeeze him anymore, but the offense still had to be played.

Schmitz gave him two blows, and he had to put all his strength on his legs to withstand the onslaught.

Seeing this opportunity, Schmitz suddenly retracted his strength, turned and retreated, and his soft wrist was gently thrown.

Mo Xi had already reacted when Schmitz closed his strength, but Schmitz was too high, plus another step back, when Mo Xi caught up, Schmitz had already shot, Mo Xi's defense has a habit that cannot be considered a bad habit, Mo Xi will rarely choose to jump and block to defend, although it also avoids the danger of injury and being fouled, but in the end it still lacks some initiative.

Mo Xi looked back, but saw that the ball had fallen into the basket steadily, and Mo Xi was a little annoyed.

The Knicks are once again running their own offense.

With the experience of the last time, Mo Xi was directly pulled to a high position, and Schmitz was excited.

There was a momentary vacuum under the Pacers' basket.

Charles didn't give the ball to Sprewell this time, but unexpectedly accelerated and hit the basket directly.

I have to say that this veteran's grasp of the opportunity is really wonderful, but Charles is a little old, his sudden attack was caught up by the Pacers' point guard, and blocked, Charles had to talk about the ball and pass it back to the high post Mo Xi and regroup.

At this time, Sprewell took advantage of Johnson's cover, came out of the bottom line, and handed the ball to Sprewell from his own ribs, a back pass that hit the ground, and Sprewell was about to hit the basket directly.

Schmitz had the experience of the last time, and he was forced to stand behind Mo Xi, just not moving, in fact, he was right not to move, how could he catch up with this full-fire Spreville when his feet couldn't move.

Sprewell rushed straight in, as if holding a bag of explosives, and blew a hole under the Pacers' basket.

The Knicks pulled back two more points.

The first half ended quickly, and the Knicks couldn't recover too many points, but fortunately they weren't left too far behind by the Pacers, only being led by 6 points, which was still within the psychological acceptance range of the New Yorkers.

Obviously, for the Pacers, with Miller in the fourth quarter, this is definitely a section worth planning, so on the other hand, Van Gundy plans to start working directly in the third quarter and defend Miller in the fourth quarter? Or do you really have to play a game with the Pacers and Miller, and play four games in a row?
