Although the Knicks lost a home court during this period, they unexpectedly won an away game, and they also developed Arenas' maximum firepower, so to speak, after the return of Mercy, the Knicks' lineup will be the league's No. 1 offense above the Kings.

The Magic failed to get enough advantage in the three games that Mo Xi missed, which made them a little panicked and a little overwhelmed in the next game, they were already very difficult to play against the Knicks, plus the return of Mo Xi, the Magic was already on the edge of the cliff, once the next home game was snatched away by the Knicks, the Knicks returned to the home court with a 3:1 lead, at that time, the Magic could only pray for God to come.

Orlando's home stadium, Amway Arena, is a depressing atmosphere.

At this time, the game has not officially started, and the players are warming up.

After two weeks, Mo Xi finally returned to the basketball court again.

Mo Xi warmed up on the court, stood in a high position and turned around quickly, dribbled, turned around continuously, came to the side of the basket, Mo Xi burst up, grabbed the ball with one hand, pulled the bow and dunked violently.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, Moxi's dunk is not very beautiful, and even less violent than those top centers, but Magic fans just feel a sense of suffocation coming to their faces, which is the unique momentum of super centers, holding the ball in one hand, Ling Jiutian, and anyone who is in front of him has nothing to do.

Maddie looked at the warm-up big man opposite in a trance, and felt a longing in her heart, if she could have such a big man as a teammate, how good it would be.

Mo Xi's return, and before he even did anything, it made the entire Orlando feel a burst of chest tightness, it was only April day, but people just felt as if the height of summer had arrived, and they were sweating profusely.

With the nervous eyes of the Orlando fans, the game began.

Returning to the court, Mo Xi easily jumped to possession of the ball, and the Knicks began to attack.

Arenas held the ball, and at the free throw line, he and Mo Xi directly came to a pick-and-roll cooperation, and the two of them quickly went straight to the basket together.

The Magic's No. 1 and No. 5 positions are a little slow, Mo Xi's cover is very good, Arenas is completely empty, and at the same time, Mo Xi relies on his strength and speed to easily kill the basket.

Gooden was a little nervous, he didn't know who to defend, the two were passed by people at the same time, only Gooden was in charge of the basket, and Gooden was one to defend three.

Gooden stubbornly defended Arenas, but he also kept an eye on it, keeping his eyes on Mo Xi and Wallace's direction.

Arenas saw Gooden's half-heartedness at a glance, sneered, and jumped directly through Gooden's defense, jumping to the basket.

The Magic player picks up the ball with a blank face and prepares to serve.

With just one ball, the Magic players have entered a numbing feeling.

The Magic went on the offensive.

Maddie received the ball from beyond the three-point line, and he pressed the ball directly to his waist and looked directly at Sprewell. In the first attack, Maddie planned to use his individual ability to make a gap for the team first, at least, not to let his teammates lose hope of victory.

Maddie started, the first step was strong, and the excellent first step was half a step past Sprewell, the reason why there was only half a step was because Sprewell reacted at the first time, although the body couldn't keep up, but at least Sprewell's defense was in place, and he forcibly squeezed back half of his body.

Maddie had no intention of attacking, and suddenly lowered her center of gravity by another level, a super large change of direction, slammed her crotch, and at the same time, her body turned and rushed out from the other side of Sprewell.

Sprewell just moved, the center of gravity was still in front, this time Maddie was equivalent to passing behind him, Sprewell's body shook, after all, he couldn't resist Newtonian mechanics, Maddie passed Sprewell.

Maddie was waiting to break through to the inside, and the first shot of the Magic, in his opinion, had to end with a most exciting dunk. With her center of gravity pressed down and the ball in both hands, Maddie took a deep breath, her legs were like springs, and she stomped on the ground fiercely, and Maddie rose into the air.

Maddie two-handed windmill.

Just as the Magic fans were about to shout for this wonderful dunk, a hand suddenly appeared, causing all sounds to stop abruptly, as if someone had choked the neck.

Mo Xi jumped lightly, he didn't jump high, but the position was very right, it was when Maddie had just risen into the air, and even the basketball in his hand was not shaken behind him.

Mo Xi's hand slapped the basketball in Maddie's hand fiercely, Maddie only felt a shock in his palm, the strength in his hand was exhausted, and his waist was loosened, Maddie was shot down directly, and the basketball in Maddie's hand flew out far away under Mo Xi's cover, flying directly outside the three-point line.

Sprewell stepped forward quickly, grabbed the ball before the Magic players, and then quickly got up and made a long pass.

Houston received the ball near the halfway line, dribbled forward twice, and saw the Magic players getting closer, and immediately moved the ball away.

Houston's pass target was Mo Xi, who blocked Maddie in the backcourt, and from the block to the quick follow-up after that, Mo Xi celebrated his return with an offensive and defensive one.

"Bang~"

Mo Xi pulls the frame with both hands.

"Roar~"

After Mo Xi succeeded, there was a long roar, and the sound shook in all directions, and the huge arena could only hear the rampant roar.

Rivers looked very ugly off the court, he didn't expect that when Mo Xi returned, the Magic game would be very difficult, he just never expected that it would be such a scene, and even Maddie, the new scoring champion, was hated by Mo Xi.

Mo Xi's huge deterrent power under the basket made the Magic people panic, in fact, to deal with Mo Xi's defensive ability, as long as there is an excellent inside line with the ball to attack, Mo Xi can be contained, but this is exactly what Magic does not have.

Maddie relied on Gooden's cover and got rid of Sprewell's defense, this time, he didn't dare to hit in again, but chose a stop-and-go jump shot, but at this moment Maddy's palms were still a little sore, the shot was very unstable, the ball was crooked, Mo Xi accepted this defensive rebound, and the Knicks turned defense into offense.

Another wave of Knicks offensive frenzy, Mo Xi first passed the ball to Sprewell, Sprewell dribbled to the midfield, and directly hit the ground to Arenas, who followed from the wing, Arenas forced a layup against the defense of the Magic players.

In the first four minutes of the game, Rivers was sweating profusely and called the first timeout, no way, the Magic was beaten to an 11:2 small climax, which was still based on the fact that Mo Xi only shot once, and within four minutes, Mo Xi made one shot and one hit, and cut down two points, three boards, one assist and one cover. Magic's offense is actually very single, mainly concentrated in Maddie's hands, and Maddie, like several other super scorers, has a problem that seems to be a big problem now but was not a problem in the past, Maddie's scoring efficiency is too low, in addition to hitting the inside, otherwise just relying on dry pull and emergency stop, it is really unsustainable, but now in the case of Mo Xi sitting on the inside, Maddie can't do it like a fish in water on the inside.

Mo Xi's return turned out to be a deterrent only on the defensive end, and just when everyone was surprised, Mo Xi seemed to feel that the warm-up was over, and began to show his fangs.

Mo Xi asks for the ball in the low post.

Arenas decisively hoisted the ball to Moxi. This is also the Knicks' first ball-handling single in this game.

Mo Xi resisted the Magic defenders, swayed left and right, the defenders did not dare to move, Mo Xi slammed his force, leaned back on his back, and fiercely pushed towards the Magic defenders.

The magic center was directly pushed back a step without the power to parry, Mo Xi was unceremoniously, and he pushed it with more force, and the magic center retreated, and Mo Xi struck while the iron was hot and it was another top, and now, Mo Xi came to the basket completely.

The back drove the shoulder, Mo Xi pushed hard, kicked hard with his left foot, turned sideways, directly pushed the defender, held the ball in one hand, and split the buckle.

The basket shook for a while, and Mo Xi pushed away the Magic center and walked to the backcourt.

The Knicks are starting to gain momentum.

Arenas is responsible for the fast-break counterattack after the defense, and Mo Xi is the main offensive positional battle, coupled with the offensive system created by George Carr, the Knicks' firepower on the offensive end has been completely opened up in the playoffs, especially after Arenas was released.

On the one hand, the Magic's offense couldn't be opened, and on the other hand, the Magic had no power to resist the Knicks' offense, and the Magic was really beaten into a sieve by the Knicks in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, the Knicks led the Magic by as many as 15 points at 34:19, and the comeback Mo Xi scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, and Arenas, who shined not long ago, also scored 7 points, and the Magic relied on Maddy to support himself, and he scored nine points in the entire first quarter.

Because of the Knicks' large lead, George Karl boldly replaced the entire starting lineup and replaced it with a pure bench lineup, No. 1 Ward, No. 2 Matt Barnes, No. 3 Witherspoon, No. 4 Wang Zhizhi, No. 5 Dale Davis, this is a more balanced lineup, and there is no doubt that this kind of talented forward is the main composition of the flying team that George Carr is famous for.

And because the Magic fell behind too much, Maddy continued to stay on the court in the second quarter, and he intends to use this time to close the score between the two sides.

Although Barnes is a pretty good bench bandit, but now the young Barnes can only eat dust behind Maddy, if there is any flaw in the current Knicks' lineup, it can only be their lack of outside defensive ability, Ward's defense is good, but he is short, and it is good to be able to defend the No. 1 position, but there is no way to defend someone like Maddie who is a head taller than him.

Maddie suddenly broke out, shooting wildly in the second quarter, and didn't care what his shooting percentage was, anyway, he just did it, and Shengsheng pulled the double-digit score of the two sides closer to within five points.

The score continued to be closer, the atmosphere in Amway Arena was lively again, and the faces of the Magic players were bloody.

George Karl glanced at the clock, with more than four minutes and fifty seconds left in the first half, he glanced back at the bench and said, "Okay! The children! Let's play! ”

The New York gangsters stormed the basketball court in a rage.

Looking at the New York Knicks, who were surrounded by rolling blood, the Magic team couldn't help but shudder.

The Knicks attacked, serving in the half.

Mo Xi covered Arenas directly on the baseline, and Arenas came out to catch the ball with the help of the cover.

Arenas received the ball outside the three-point line and made a direct shooting feint, but Arenas's feint didn't seem to be very well done, and the Magic's point guard was not moved at all.

Arenas started and planned to break through, but after the last game, Rivers still designed a defensive strategy for Arenas, preventing sudden bursts and not shooting, Arenas does have the ability to shoot anywhere, but his shooting percentage is not so good-looking, only a hit in his early forties, which is not very efficient, Arenas's breakthrough has no effect at all, and with a frown, he simply stopped the jump shot directly.

"Dangchang", Arenas' shot hits the iron.

Mo Xi straightened up, broke free from the position of the opposing player, took a step forward, and pressed against Gooden's body. Gooden couldn't jump, and Mo Xi relied on his height and reach to take away the offensive rebound.

After receiving the rebound, Mo Xi directly received the ball to his chest, and there were magic people all around, and Mo Xi didn't even have room to pass the ball.

George Carr raised an eyebrow, hesitating to call a timeout.

But at this time, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

There were two people pressed on the body, but Mo Xi was still light, and the center of gravity was lowered again, and the magic two were overjoyed, and immediately pressed it again, this is a great opportunity to lock Mo Xi, and the two of them don't have to stretch out their hands, they just need to press Mo Xi and wait for three seconds to violate the rules.

Mo Xi took a point under his feet, his steps were firmly rooted there, his back was forced upward, and his waist was forced, driving the entire upper body to lift upward, and Mo Xi relied on his strong strength to push the two people of the magic away.

The two magic insiders who defended Mo Xi only felt that a boulder slammed into their faces, and they took three steps back, and for a while, a vacuum area appeared under the basket.

Mo Xi took advantage of the situation and burst out, pulling the frame with both hands.

The re-returned Mo Xi didn't even use any amazing skills, just simply relying on his body honed over the years to hang the inside line of magic, plus the defensive experience accumulated over the years, the current Mo Xi has become a veritable demon king.

At the end of the half, the Knicks still led the Magic 54:44 with some spare strength, and the comeback Mo Xi was even more terrifying, with six of eight shots, four of four free throws, and 16 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks.
