After entering January, Mo Xi obviously felt that when the game was played, the competition and performance were stronger, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath, after all, the All-Star Game is coming, although this is just an exhibition game, but there is no doubt that the players who can play in this game will be worth double, at least they can boast of "I am also an All-Star player." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Various agents began to frantically help their players build momentum, and Bill Raffi was no exception, starting to wander around for the sake of Moxi's business, thanks to Moxi's location in the metropolis of New York, there is no shortage of ticket sources, as long as Moxi's performance is good enough, but at this point, Moxi has encountered some small bottlenecks.

There are probably only three centers in the East, and although there are not many centers in the East, there are three mountains that have been pressing on the heads of all the Eastern centers, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, and DiCambe Mutombo. These three people go here, as long as the level does not drop too much, they are almost guaranteed All-Stars, not to mention that the performance of the three of them is really the best among the Eastern centers. Mourning's performance this season is very stable, averaging 20+10 per game, coupled with being under the Heat's extreme defensive system, and averaging 3.7 blocks per game, Mourning's voting appeal in the East can be said to be the only one among the interior players who can compete with Carter and Iverson, who have a gorgeous style of play, and Ewing Although he only returned in the middle of December, his competitive state is not at his peak, and the data is barely 15+10, but being in New York has already added a lot of points to this big center, and with Ewing's usual fan base, the All-Star starters can't get in, but it's no problem to send them to the All-Star bench; As for Mutombo, as a pure defensive center, although he was robbed of the top spot on the block list by Moring, he also ranked second with 3.3 blocks, and the rebounding list was even more than 15 leaders per game, and O'Neal, who ranked second, was nearly a rebound behind him. It seems that none of these three mountains can be moved by Mo Xi. However, this is the time when the turning point came, Stephen Marbury was injured, and there will be a man to fill the position. Because the voting has basically ended, the remaining places will be directly designated by the coach, as long as Mo Xi performs well enough in the next game, or plays a phenomenal game. In contrast, Marcus Camby is "smart", he reported as a striker, and at least Camby has some opportunities to fight for position, but Murphy is reluctant to do so, he feels that he is always a little uncomfortable if he is allowed to play as a power forward.

In January, the Knicks' schedule was relatively flat, only one game was back-to-back, and the Knicks got a seven-win and three-loss record in January, which also canvassed a lot of votes for several All-Star candidates for the Knicks, and Mo Xi also became a beneficiary, and after learning that Marbury was injured, the Knicks team also began to intentionally or unintentionally increase Mo Xi's shooting power, and began to build momentum for Mo Xi, and Van Gundy also turned a blind eye to this.

Among them, Ewing is the hardest working one, after all, Mo Xi will be his heir to the Knicks, and he is also his apprentice, mentioning this, I have to say one thing, in the center class in the East, the best three centers, that is, the three who were guaranteed to enter the All-Star, Mourning, Ewing, and Mutombo are all from Georgetown University, as a disciple of John Thompson, and Mo Xi is also one of them. Regardless of the personal relationship, everyone came from a college and a coach, and in public, they talked a lot about Moxi, and if Moxi finally made it to the All-Star Game, it would be the first time that there would be four centers from the same college playing together on a team in the East. Moreover, this all-star was held in Philadelphia, and Iverson naturally forced a mouthful of milk for his friend, and Mo Xi had already occupied the right time and place, so he sent people, that is, Bill Lafe planned a phenomenal battle for Mo Xi.

Soon Mo Xi waited for the people, in the fight with the Heat, Johnson was injured, as if it was arranged by God, Mo Xi took Johnson's place on the court, helping the Knicks beat the Heat by 14 points, although, this is because Ewing, Houston and Sprewell combined to cut 74 points, but Mo Xi temporarily went up, but did not fall behind, the next game against the Hornets, Van Gundy directly put Mo Xi in the starting position, Mo Xi can enter the All-Star almost depends on the performance of this game.

On February 7, the Knicks traveled to Charlotte, and Mo Xi will face his own life-and-death situation in his career.

Among the Hornets, in addition to the already confirmed All-Star Eddie Jones, there is another person, Elden Campbell, who is one of the candidates competing for the vacated All-Star spot and the biggest opponent of Murphy, who was traded from the Lakers to the Hornets with Eddie Jones.

It's just that this game is obviously not so easy to play, not to mention the strength of Elden Campbell, the existence of two people in the Hornets is already a headache for many people, such as Anthony Mason, Jr., the starting forward of the New York Gangsters, he was a veritable Ewing bodyguard during the New York period, and he averaged 8 rebounds per game, There are also more than 2.5 frontcourt rebounds, plus Charles Oakley's nearly ten rebounds per game and almost four frontcourt rebounds, and it's no wonder that Ewing hasn't had more than 13 career rebounds, and together these three have already grabbed three-quarters of the Knicks' rebounds. And the most eye-catching of the Hornets is undoubtedly Eddie Jones. Many people only know him from the data and the persuasion of Kobe Bryant's high school draft to enter the league, but in fact, many people have already seen his style of play and don't know it. It is true that Eddie Jones is an excellent defensive player, but what amazes Eddie Jones is not his defensive skills, but his dunks. Even now, many people think that they haven't seen Eddie Jones' dunks, but in fact, you have seen them countless times, the legendary "demigod" Vinson Carter and his younger brother Tracy McGrady (you must say the full name of this name, okay, I always feel that there is a power in the dark that fills the whole body) The most admired idol is Eddie Jones, the two of them look slightly different slamming styles, in fact, they both learned from Eddie Jones.

The game started at seven o'clock in the evening, and the New York Knicks arrived in Charlotte early on a special plane to start preparing for the evening's game. There are still people who pay attention to this game, but more people are related to Moxi, Iverson and Kobe Bryant both called before the game to cheer for Moxi.

This game can be said to be a godsend for Mo Xi, and it is definitely fake to say that he is not nervous, but after all, this is just a regular season, and Mo Xi, who has played in the finals, still adjusted quickly.

Van Gundy can also be regarded as "conforming to the will of God", and actually put Ewing in the position of power forward, directly promoted Mo Xi to the center and Elden Campbell against him, and forcibly decided the position of the 12th in the All-Star East, but Van Gundy can only do this, and it is impossible for him to directly designate a core tactic for Mo Xi, after all, the Knicks still need to win.

And Charlotte's fans naturally fully support their own center Elden Campbell, outside the court, Mo Xi has already felt the city's strong malice towards him, Charlotte is doing his best to build momentum for Elden Campbell, although it is only an All-Star water cooler position, but Charlotte still doesn't mind having another All-Star on their team, look at New York opposite, in the All-Star list that has come out, the Knicks account for as many as four, Ewing, Camby, Sprewell, Houston, No team in the East has such an honor, and although the Knicks' record is only sixth in the East, it can be seen from this alone that the Knicks are worthy of being the Eastern Conference champions last season, and they are still very dominant.

As soon as Mo Xi got off the bus, he saw Elden Campbell's posters full of eyes, and all kinds of slogan posters mocking Mo Xi, which surprised him, this is a playoff treatment, Charlotte is also fighting for this All-Star spot, but considering Charlotte's current ranking in the East, the hope of the playoffs is not very big, and people have to put more expectations on their team's All-Star vote.

Finding that Mo Xi was a little stunned in the face of the poster offensive in front of him, Ewing couldn't help but put his hand on Mo Xi's shoulder, and said in a somewhat teasing tone: "How is it?" How does it feel to be the enemy of the world? ”

Mo Xi came back to his senses and said, "No, it's just an enemy of a small city. ”

Ewing was dumbfounded, this is really, a merciless declaration, I don't know when Xing Mo Xi has really begun to be damaged by these old guys of the Knicks, and the unruly things hidden in his personality have gradually begun to reveal.

At this time, Spreville behind him also seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, this opportunity will come eventually, one person, one city, as long as you live long enough." Sprewell gags, unaware that this sentence has become a curse with blessings.

After an afternoon of acclimatization, the Knicks were fully geared up for the evening's game.

The Hornets' live DJ didn't specifically target Mo Xi, but Charlotte's fans were different, the boos of the whole audience when Mo Xi played made Mo Xi think that he had cut 30+30 when he faced the Hornets last season, and when Elden Campbell played, the cheers of the audience were not as high as Mo Xi's boos, which seemed to faintly prove Mo Xi's favorable position in the competition for the position of the twelfth man, after all, the three major centers in the East were jointly recommended, plus two excellent defenders of the new generation, Moxi has a great advantage in this regard.

Eddie Jones came up and talked to Mo Xi very friendly: "Hey, Mo, how are you doing?" How do you feel about encountering this kind of scene? Don't worry, they just think you're too much of a threat to the All-Star spot, and you're going to get used to it when you become a superstar. "Eddie Jones and Mo Xi met at Kobe's house, and the two are familiar with each other.

Mo Xi said, "What. Looking at your relaxed face, it seems that your Elden Campbell will definitely beat me to be selected. ”

Eddie Jones' face changed, hesitated for a moment, looked at the people around him without the Hornets, and then said: "No, in fact, I am personally more optimistic about you, not everyone can play 15+7 data on the inside of the East, even Ewing, he only has three more rebounds than you, isn't it?" ”

Eddie Jones made a crucial point that New York's player fan base is definitely not something that anyone in a small city like Charlotte can imagine.

Mo Xi smiled and said, "I'm going to have a good time in your territory today, are you ready to wipe your tears with a tissue?" ”

Eddie Jones raised an eyebrow and said, "yes, what a coincidence, I'm going to chop 30+ on top of your heads to celebrate my All-Star selection, maybe your performance is going to be delayed." ”

Mo Xi had long been accustomed to these pre-game remarks, and he turned directly to the warm-up players on the Knicks' side and shouted, "Hey, Latrill (Sprewell's name), someone said he was going to score 30 points in front of you, one less point and a hot dog." ”

Sprewell turned his head directly, gave Eddie Jones a middle finger, and said, "Eddie, you get a point in this game, and I'll treat you to a New York cheeseburger." ”

Eddie Jones looked at Mo Xi helplessly and said, "It seems that you really learned from these gangsters of the Knicks." ”

Mo Xi said mysteriously: "Who knows? Maybe I was born that way, but it's just too well hidden. ”

The time for small talk is over quickly, and the game is about to begin.

Charlotte is located in North Carolina and has the deified University of North Carolina, and the basketball atmosphere here is stronger than that of football. When the referee came to the center circle with the ball, the atmosphere in the front court came to a peak.

Mo Xi and Elden Campbell stood still in the center circle, and they didn't communicate with each other, but their eyes were locked on the basketball in the referee's hand.

"Di~" whistle sounded, and the referee tossed the ball high.

Mo Xi glanced at the ball, estimated the strength of the ball, "swooped" and rose into the sky, Campbell's jump was a little early, when he began to fall, the ball had just reached the highest point, Mo Xi jumped the ball perfectly, directly to Ward's hands, the Knicks began to attack for the first time, and Mo Xi won the first game against Campbell.
