There is no shortage of topics in the alliance, especially in New York, which is considered the center of the world and where the media from all walks of life pay more attention. The teams in the various professional leagues here www.biquge.info undoubtedly have a lot of exposure, and the Knicks' home game against the Bucks was naturally featured by the media. Not for anything else, just because the Bucks' no-center lineup is too strange, but they have beaten two teams with super interior lines, and the Knicks, even if they are now centered on two guns, it is undeniable that the Knicks are still a team with a center.

Before the game, the cheerful and optimistic George Karl was surrounded by the media, and there was only one center, which was George Karl's no-center tactics. It can be said that the history of the league has always been written by the center, but now there is no truly dominant center. The era in which Mo Xi lived was the last glorious period of interior players, the four major centers except for the shark in Los Angeles were almost all about to leave, the younger generation of interior players is growing, there are too few good centers in the league, and George Carr's tactical ideas can be said to have opened a window for many small teams.

The recent three-game winning streak has put George Karl in a good mood, and he answered reporters' questions in a playful tone: "To use a center, at least there must be a good center in the team, and it's not that I don't use a center, it's just that I can't use a center." "There are only two serious centers on the Bucks, Irvin Johnson and Danny Manning, the former is at best a qualified blue-collar worker, and the latter is another talent ruined by injury, in other words, there is really nothing wrong with the Bucks team's replacement for a symbolic center for a forward.

However, George Karl ignored the undisciplined behavior of the New York media, and under their rendering, George Carr became an opponent of the center, and the headline "I don't need a center in my team because I won't use him at all" appeared in many New York media. And with the spread of this statement, the really intelligent team began to consider the meaning of the center. A strong center is the cornerstone of a dynasty, but what if you don't have that card in your hand?

Under the hype of the media, the Knicks, who have always had a tradition of center, were pushed to the forefront, the world of basketball is like this, no matter how much you talk about it, it is better to go on the court and make a shot, only the winner has the right to speak. As the team's starting center, Mo Xi naturally bears a lot of pressure. For Mo Xi, this is undoubtedly a battle of faith.

Adhering to the consistent style of the players from Georgetown, Mo Xi rarely interacted with the media, and even if he did occasionally speak, it was a manuscript prepared for him by the Knicks' press officer, and on this day, Mo Xi was surrounded by a large number of reporters when he entered the arena, and everyone stretched out their arms to raise the microphone up and handed it to Mo Xi. After spending more time with Johnson and the others, Mo Xi inevitably became a little ruffian, pretending to ignore these reporters, and Mo Xi used his strong body to squeeze directly through the crowd and walked in.

For the battle of the Bucks, Mo Xi also has his own ideas, no matter how interested in George Karl's tactical style in private, but as far as Mo Xi himself is concerned, he is a center, from the time he stands on the stage of the league, to the time he leaves, and even the day he lies in the grave, he is a center, he wants to live and fight in the way of a center, no matter how the world changes, this is his stubbornness, from the stubbornness taught by coach John Thompson.

When they got to the locker room, it was obvious that the other Knicks players were talking about it, and although they understood that it must be the work of the New York media, they couldn't help but want to tease, and said, "Woh, our center, how do you feel now, want to shred George Karl?" ”

Mo Xi smiled a little helplessly, needless to say, this is a "greeting" from Spreville. Mo Xi looked at Camby and said, "How did you answer?" ”

Camby smiled and said, "I ignored him, after all, he was too short to play center." ”

Camby's seemingly loyal words made Spreville blush, and everyone laughed. Despite the unscrupulous portrayal of the media, it makes them a little angry for many center forwards, and who wants to be thought to be something that they don't have and can be replaced?

There were a lot of Knicks fans who couldn't watch the game live in three games today, and the stadium was already very lively before the players entered the court.

I don't know if the DJ on the scene intentionally or unintentionally, when the player played, he made a slight change to Mo Xi's appearance words: "From Georgetown University, 7 feet tall, 237 pounds, No. 30, center-forward-Xi-Mo." "The word center drags on for a long time.

George Karl off the field looked at Mo Xi who came out of the players' tunnel, his eyes showed a burst of envy, the pre-game things are irreversible, they will happen, and they will be forgotten with time, George Karl doesn't care about this, what he cares about is why he doesn't have a good center in his hands?

As a center, Mo Xi is an existence with strong offense and weak defense, excellent offense under the basket, but the defense is slightly inferior, and the rebounding is even weaker, but there is also a flash of passing talent, thinking of this, George Karl can't help but secretly curse Van Gundy's good luck and the ability to adjust the center, but in fact, in the entire league, only the Trail Blazers have really good response centers, Wharton and Sabonis.

At the start of the game, Mo Xi easily jumped to the ball, and the Knicks quickly launched an offense.

The two teams are very different in rhythm at the first place, with the league's famous "Old Lady Team" on the one hand, the spine-slow pace on the other, and the impactful fast-break team on the other, and the first battleground between the two sides is the control of the rhythm between the point guards. In the 93-94 season, Ward had not yet entered the league, but Casal was a member of the Rockets, having experienced the battle between the Rockets and the Knicks.

The Knicks' strategy is clear, don't you have a center on the lineup, okay, then we'll play our highest point. Ward hoisted the ball directly to Moxi.

The Bucks' defense is J.R. Reid, who is six feet nine inches, weighs a full 240 pounds, and is also a good power player who is good at scrambling. After Mo Xi received the ball, he collided with Red slightly, and both of them snorted, obviously neither of them took much advantage. But Mo Xi still has a big height advantage, he directly held the ball and turned to the front of the basket, and Red stepped forward to force the defense.

Mo Xi saw the opportunity for Red to take a step forward, and crashed into Red as soon as he fitted it, the two of them parted with a touch, Red took a step back, and Mo Xi took advantage of this power to directly lean back and shoot.

A small step-back shot under the basket, and Mo Xi hit it without interference.

2:0 Knicks take the lead.

Obviously, the Bucks have experienced this kind of ball I don't know how many times, the Bucks serve directly and quickly, and no one in the team runs quickly to the court.

In the previous three games, the Bucks faced the best defensive team against the Pistons, who had gone downhill, and it was clear that this lineup had not been tested by a strong defensive team. Except for Moxi, the other four Knicks have all quickly returned to the defense, and the Bucks' fast break has been choked.

But Cassel knew that the Bucks' tactical benchmark was that they could never stop, and once they stopped, the Bucks would lose their biggest weapon. Casal passes the ball directly to Glenn Robinson.

Facing Houston, Robinson directly forced the impact, crashed into Houston and strode towards the basket. But the Knicks' defense in particular was so easy to match, Johnson quickly stepped up and his strong body stopped in front of Robinson, forcing the latter to stop.

Glenn Robinson had no choice but to distribute the ball to Robert Trayler who was free, but at this time, Houston made up for it, and Traylor was choked by Houston and had to pass the ball back to the outside. But Ray Allen on the outside faces the Knicks' best outside defender, Sprewell, both of whom are in their prime of life, and Ray Allen's vaunted explosiveness can't help him get rid of Sprewell's defense.

The Bucks can't pass anymore, and if they pass any more, the Bucks will get into the rhythm of the Knicks, which is more terrible than not being able to score a ball, Ray Allen dribbled a step inside the three-point line, and forced a big two-point step back against Sprewell's defense.

I have to say that Mo Xi, who lacks experience and awareness in the position, still has some problems in the way he rushes to grab offensive rebounds in the face of the Bucks.

Ward's slow possession of the ball came to the frontcourt, and in the face of Casal's interference, Ward handed the ball to Johnson in the high post, and Johnson did not pause and handed the ball to Mo Xi on the bottom line again.

It's not a deep position for this shot, just two or three steps inside the three-point line. Mo Xi turned directly to the frame, protected the ball on one side of his body, and blocked Red on the other side to force him to the basket. Halfway Glenn Robinson rushed out to clamp the defense, Mo Xi made a quick stop, turned around in the middle of the two, and squeezed Robinson out of the bag, and at this time, Robinson also happened to become Mo Xi's cover to block Red, and Mo Xi completed a violent dunk directly under the basket.

Back and forth, the Bucks have no way to take the Knicks' center singles, once they are wrapped in advance, they will give the Knicks' outside a chance, but on their side, they are suffering from the Knicks' steely defense, and it is difficult to form their own characteristic flowing offense, four minutes later, the Knicks played a wave of 16:6, the Bucks seemed to have no power to resist, George Carr suddenly smiled off the court and called a timeout.
