Mo Xi sat on the sidelines and panted, putting the towel on his head, and as soon as he sat down, he felt that he was too tired. Playing against O'Neal for a long time, and he has to take on important responsibilities for the whole team at both offensive and defensive ends at the same time, the energy consumed is far from being comparable to O'Neal or Kobe. In fact, the Knicks have always been characterized by the fact that they don't need to fight like this, but with the continuous growth of Mo Xi's strength, his tactical position is getting higher and higher, plus the position of the center is an easy to get out of the core, and it is an all-round position that pays attention to offense and defense, and Mo Xi often plays several positions alone in the Knicks' tactics, and everyone takes it for granted, even Van Gundy thinks so, but once Mo Xi faces those strong interior lines, especially the type that has a good performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, For example, the current O'Neal, the physical impact of Mo Xi's overweight role is even heavier.

On the court, Ewing, who came off the bench, is continuing his mission as the guardian of New York on the court, which he has done for more than ten years, with misunderstandings, frustrations, and many unsatisfactory things in between, and no matter what, he is still standing here after all, no matter what his strength is now, he is still fighting for himself, for the Knicks, and for New York.

After seeing Ewing playing, O'Neal snorted coldly, but did not choose to hit him, but distributed the ball to Kobe Bryant on the outside, and he handled it, after all, O'Neal forced Mo Xi off the court, and he also consumed a lot of strength, and now Ewing is on the court, this is also a difficult bone to gnaw, instead of continuing to spend a lot of strength, it is better to hand over the work of chasing points to Kobe, and take advantage of this kung fu to recover his physical strength and prepare for the next decisive moment.

At such a decisive moment, Kobe Bryant broke out, even with a sudden shot, although the three-point ability is still weak, but with the super scoring explosion, it was Shengsheng who caught up with the score.

Just like Mo Xi beat O'Neal, Kobe Bryant played Sprewell in some similarities.

Sprewell's defense is strong, but Kobe Bryant's offense is stronger. In the original historical trajectory, the Nets played against the Lakers, according to the Nets' usual defensive setting, the quarterbacks were all defended by Kidd, and in the face of Kidd, Kobe Bryant was still at ease, I have to say that Kobe Bryant at this time has shown super scoring ability even under the suppression of O'Neal.

In the fourth quarter, when the Knicks left the game, the Knicks still maintained a 12-point lead, but the 12-point advantage was only wiped out in an instant, Kobe Bryant scored five goals in a row, and two of them cut off the Knicks' passes and scored directly on the fast break, during which the Knicks only Houston made a mid-range shot, and the difference between the two sides was only four points.

At this time, the time came to more than six minutes and forty seconds, and Mo Xi returned to the field.

It's just that the Knicks have lost momentum, and the Lakers' momentum has risen, and the situation is very unfriendly to the Knicks.

But this is New York, and this is Madison Square Garden.

Murphy forcibly helped the Knicks stabilize the situation.

However, it didn't take long for the situation to calm down, and the other giant of the OK combination made a move.

O'Neill slowed down, and directly caught Mo Xi with a strong push.

Although Mo Xi blocked O'Neal's strong push offensive, O'Neal suddenly turned over and shot, and hit the shot, this ball is really a hit. And before the Knicks could respond, the Knicks' offense was terminated again, Mo Xi gave the ball to Sprewell, Sprewell burst to Houston on the outside, Houston made a direct three-point jumper, but was directly knocked to the ground by Kobe, Fisher grabbed the floor ball, and the Lakers quickly turned defense into offense.

The Knicks' defense was very fast, and even Mo Xi quickly returned to the three-second zone, but at this time, Fisher threw the ball to the follow-up Kobe, who stopped outside the three-point line and raised his hand directly to make a three-point shot.

"Huh~"

The Knicks were stunned.

Bryant's three-point hollow net.

With three minutes left, the Knicks are behind!

Van Gundy immediately called a timeout, and the first thing Van Gundy did during this timeout was not to arrange tactics, but to pat Mo Xi on the shoulder and say, "Mo, I think we need you." ”

The finals, in the end, are still a game for superstars.

Whether you lose or win, everything will be left to Mo Xi's own decision.

Three minutes, like six seconds in the first game, he can do a lot of things.

After Mo Xi came back from the pause, he forcibly beat O'Neill with a feeling of retching, a complete all-round confrontation, from body to technique, Mo Xi relied on his imagination to deceive O'Neal and beat him into a penalty.

Immediately afterwards, back to the defensive end, Mo Xi was more serious, Mo Xi did not give O'Neal a chance to receive the ball at all, and directly used the half-winding front, although Mo Xi was shorter than O'Neal, but it was not much shorter, Fisher did not dare to take risks, and still handed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's hand in this game is not bad, the 43% shooting rate is already very good, and Sprewell also knows that this moment is a matter of life and death, and the whole person is already eager to put Kobe in his trouser pocket and look at each other.

But Kobe Bryant is still Kobe, and after receiving the ball outside the three-point line by covering it, it was a three-pointer, and this three-point shot was a miraculous goal, and the Knicks players jumped straight to their feet one by one.

After the Knicks returned to the offensive end, it was Mo Xi again, and Mo Xi held the ball in the high post this time, facing O'Neal sideways.

After making a hand-to-hand cooperation with Sprewell, Mo Xi directly inserted it into the basket, and Sprewell didn't want to hang the ball directly.

However, Mo Xi did not shoot after receiving the ball, he saw a better route, he turned around directly and passed the ball to Thomas on the other side, at the moment on Thomas's side, Houston had already started, he ran directly around the back behind Thomas, and it was a hand-to-hand cooperation, Houston took a direct shot after receiving the ball, this time Kobe failed to interfere with him, Houston hit a shot directly, and the Knicks and the Lakers tied.

After both sides returned to the same running line, they both looked a little disappointed and nervous, they felt that the current situation should not be like this, and the lead should be their own, and the offensive seemed a little reckless for a while, and no one could score for more than a minute.

With thirty-seven seconds left in the game, the Lakers have the ball, this is a familiar scene, is it a quick offensive wave to save the last offensive opportunity for themselves or a steady shot, and then defend against the Knicks' offense?

Phil Jackson quickly gave his answer, how to win the first game, how to play this one, he directly assigned a starburst tactic to the Lakers, and came to attack quickly with one shot first.

But the old Zen master also made mistakes, and he forgot that the inventor of this tactic, called Reed Holzman, hung the clothes that symbolized his status on the top of his head.

"Smack~"

Mark Jackson's excellent prediction directly cut off this ball, and the entire Lakers were stunned, without thinking, Mark Jackson began to advance to the front court and directly gave the ball to Sprewell, the Knicks' fast break!

Just as Sprewell took off for a layup, a black fat man fell from the sky and directly pinned Sprewell's layup to the rebound.

It was O'Neill, who stepped up at the critical moment.

Immediately after, Rick Fox lunged forward, pressed the rebound ball in his arms, and threw the ball forward directly on the ground and threw it to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant started to accelerate from the middle line and went straight to the basket, but just like a copy of O'Neal just now, the Knicks' No. 30 also took off, unlike O'Neal, Mo Xi directly grabbed the ball in his own hands.

Mo Xi caught Kobe.

With this humiliating goal, Mo Xi threw the ball directly in the front court and found Sprewell.

But Sprewell was immediately pounced on by Fox, and the two men were entangled.

"Toot ~"

The referee gave the scrum.

Sprewell and Fawkes gasped and stood up, staring at each other fiercely like two hungry wolves.

The jump ball begins.

The two jumped to their feet, Fox was no longer magically gone, and the ball was rightfully picked up by Sprewell.

Mo Xi jumped out and received the shot from beyond the three-point line.

There were seven seconds left.

Mo Xi didn't think about it, just walked under the basket.

The first defender he faced was Rick Fox, who had just finished jumping.

Rick Fox knew that he couldn't prevent Mo Xi, so he simply used some small means to buy some time for the defenders behind him, he reached out and wanted to pull Mo Xi's jersey, but unexpectedly, Mo Xi turned to the side, and Fox didn't touch anything.

On the side, Mo Xi encountered Kobe's supplementary defense.

As a center, if you want to pass Kobe, it's just a fantasy.

At this time, Mo Xi was already in a hurry, where did he care so much, when he saw someone in front of him, he limped on his elbow, and made a change of direction by the way, forcing Kobe Bryant away with one elbow, and at the same time he drew a big right angle, and killed him towards the basket.

Take a step forward, and it's time to jump!

At the same time, the retreating O'Neill also jumped up, and the two centers were about to have a life-and-death duel in the air.

O'Neill's bounce couldn't be better, but Moxi's waist and abdomen made a contribution at this time.

Fans in New York saw that Mo Xi seemed to fly in the air for a while, and the whole person drilled under O'Neal's armpit, and then opened his arms that were shrunk together, pulled the ball, drew a small arc, and hooked up for the layup.

"Bang~唰——"

Hit cricket to score!

Moxi's last-minute breakthrough sealed the win for the Knicks!

There are still a few seconds left, with Kobe Bryant's ultra-long three-point miss, the Knicks won the game without danger, and the magical breakthrough at the last moment also faintly pushed him to the highest peak of his life.
