Chapter Ninety-One: A Return Gift from the Nix
The Pacers were completely spent, 19:33, a desperate game, it's not that the Pacers weren't strong enough, but the Knicks plugged in, the Knicks' three-point shot in the first quarter turned out to be five of five, in fact, the Pacers also scored three three-pointers in the first quarter, but it took nine shots, in this era, such a shot is simply crazy, and this is mainly because of the dignity of the main player Reggie Miller, who can't stand the fact that others keep scoring in front of him with the defense he is best at, and it is difficult for him to respond.

For the first time in this series, Larry Bird got angry and he pinned Reggie Miller straight to the bench.
Van Gundy made almost no substitutions in the second quarter, just replaced Ward with Charles, which can be said to be a regular substitution for the Knicks, in fact, Van Gundy has no one to replace, who can play a role in such a situation, the Knicks are now only left with Thomas, who to replace him? Johnson who feels just right? Or is it the Knicks' highest point on the court right now? If he were to play against Schmitz, who was seven feet three inches, he would wake up laughing from his dreams, Van Gundy had already made up his mind, and Mo Xi was not too young, it was time for him to feel what it was like to play the whole court in one wave.
In the second quarter, the rhythm of the Knicks slowed down a lot, no way, not slowing down, these few people on the court, everyone has to play for forty minutes, and they must control the rhythm, otherwise, it will be difficult to play the whole game even if it is an iron body. (Now the pace of basketball is very fast, in fact, the physical requirements are particularly high, so many people are black old men, saying that the body of Lao Khan is average in the eighties and nineties, but even if it is a person of this era, few can do it in such an offensive and defensive rhythm to play for nearly 40 minutes in a row)
In the second quarter, the Knicks took the lead in attacking.
The Pacers still made a big change, Schmitz went off the court, replaced with a six-foot-nine-inch forward to defend Johnson, at least not let Johnson shoot so easily, Davis got his wish to defend Memo.
Charles gave the ball to Spreville first. At this time, Sprewell was played against the hero of the first game, Austin Klohill. Against Austin, Sprewell is at a disadvantage in height, but as a black forward, he can be compared to a white forward in terms of physical fitness.
Sprewell used his excellent explosive power to attack, Austin reacted, but his body did not follow, and Sprewell stepped into the heart of the Pacers.
Sprewell rushed too fast and failed to notice the situation on the court, but Mo Xi found out that something was wrong at a glance, Sprewell had fallen into the encirclement of the Pacers under the basket, and it was difficult for Sprewell to have a chance to shoot at this pace.
Mo Xi found that although Davis next to him was ready to defend Spreville at any time, the defensive center of gravity was still firmly placed on him.
Mo Xi simply withdrew from the basket, took three steps outward, and "rubbed" directly to the left waist.
Davis clinged to Mo Xi to defend himself, but he didn't notice that because of his departure, Sprewell instantly changed the breakthrough route, Europe limped, rushed towards the empty space under the basket, and directly rushed out of the Pacers' defensive trap, but Sprewell himself rushed too much, and the layup hit the side edge of the basket and flew far away.
Long rebounds!
The rebound flew to the left, and here, all the players on both sides tensed their nerves, and Davis directly used his broad back to plan to push Mo Xi directly behind him.
Mo Xi was so top by Davis, lost the opportunity to grab the position, but he did not give up, Mo Xi stabilized the next plate, his eyes were firmly fixed on the ball, and then saw the right time, first took a step back, reducing the contact between Davis and himself, and then suddenly turned around, pulled a step to the side, when the ball was about to be grabbed by Davis, Mo Xi suddenly jumped, struggled a little, and pointed the ball out of Davis's control.
The two landed at the same time, Davis was very angry, and he jumped hard, and Mo Xi also jumped at the same time, and Mo Xi clicked the rebound again with a branch advantage, and flicked the ball out slightly.
The two repeated this three times, Mo Xi kept adjusting his position, and finally seized the opportunity, his body was horizontal, and he struggled to jam Davis, and with a long arm, he pointed the ball out and gave it to Houston on the outside.
Houston didn't make an immediate move, he controlled the ball, slowed the tempo on the court, and the Knicks reorganized the offense.
Houston gave the ball to Moxi, who had come to the high post. Mo Xi received the ball, still facing Davis with his back to him.
At this point, Sprewell came back from under the basket and ran past Moxi. Mo Xi handed the ball directly to Sprewell.
After receiving the ball, Sprewell put the ball on his waist, and at the same time adjusted himself to the frame posture, and on the other side, Mo Xi also ran down to the low post without stopping after passing the ball, and returned to the position under the basket.
Sprewell didn't attack rashly this time, he glanced at the whole court, and found that Mo Xi fell into position quickly, Davis on his side was not ready to defend, Mo Xi vacated a piece in the direction of the basket movement, and Sprewell did not hesitate, directly smashed the ball and passed it to Mo Xi.
At this time, Davis had realized the mistake he had made, and hurriedly walked off the line, intending to take advantage of the gap between Mo Xi's catch to block the basket first, but unfortunately he overestimated his speed too much, Davis just surpassed Mo Xi half a position, Mo Xi had already received the ball, and it was obvious that Mo Xi only needed to raise his hand, he could grab the ball in front of Davis and put the ball into the basket.
Davis gritted his teeth and planned to hug Mo Xi directly, at this time, the foul also needs to be skillful, because Mo Xi's ball holder at this time is the left hand, the ball is not on Davis's side, Davis is easy to foul, but it is difficult to stop Mo Xi from shooting and scoring. Davis put one hand around Mo Xi's back, and used his strength to throw his body in front of Mo Xi, while the other hand pressed directly against Mo Xi's left shoulder.
This position under the basket is the best position for the center's small hooker, and Davis feels that with his character, he will definitely choose the most efficient way to score.
Mo Xi also planned to do so, but when Davis's hand hit Mo Xi's back and began to turn around, Mo Xi found out what Davis was going to do, that is, at this time, Mo Xi's heart moved, and suddenly some happiness was in his heart, and he made a mistake under his feet, with the strength of Davis's hand, Mo Xi actually took advantage of the situation to turn around, in the eyes of others, the two seemed to be dancing, but Mo Xi danced a female step......
Mo Xi's sudden turn surprised Davis, but Davis couldn't hold back and couldn't touch Mo Xi's body, Davis threw himself out directly because he used too much force, his body was unstable, and he knelt directly on the ground.
Because of his strong core strength, Mo Xi was not affected, and after Davis fell at his feet, he didn't have the heart to look at the opponent's miserable situation, but calmly hooked the ball into the basket with one hand.
But Mo Xi didn't know how chic his scene was in the eyes of others, just a slight twist, he brought a strong man of more than 230 pounds directly to the ground, and then there was a fluttering easy hook on his head to score. Su Shi's "Former Red Cliff Fu" "is like a reed, and Ling Wanqing is at a loss. The vastness is like Feng Xuan resisting the wind, and he doesn't know where it stops; fluttering like a legacy of independence, feathering and ascending to immortals. "That's about it.
Madison Square Garden was like a volcanic eruption at this moment, and cheers and shouts came one after another.
Mo Xi was confused at this time, he thought he had missed some wonderful shots, even when he retired in the future, he recalled the games he had played, and when he mentioned this one, he couldn't help but smile, and said with a little pride: "Actually, I really didn't know why they cheered at the time, I just remember that I shook off a person, and then scored." ā
