Compared to the derby battles and rivals of other sports, the basketball league has always had a lot less gimmicks in this regard, but there are still some that should be, such as Miami and New York a few years ago, the enduring Texas Civil War, and the protracted New York vs. Los Angeles. And this time, the location of the jihad was Madison Square Garden in New York.

“BEAT LA！”

“BEAT LA！”

“BEAT LA！”

“BEAT LA！”

……

The game hadn't even started yet, and it was just the warm-up stage, and the fans were already stirring up the atmosphere. Unlike those cold-blooded fans in Los Angeles, the fans in New York are always full of passion and enthusiasm.

Mo Xi warmed up on this side of the field, and the appearance of not moving like a mountain made people feel a little more reliable when they saw it, but Mo Xi could always feel the gaze of the burning eyes from the other side of the field, more than one.

Because of the birth of Mo Xi, the "OK" dynasty was disrupted, Malone and Payton still did not have a championship, and these four people looked at Mo Xi with different eyes, either angry, envious, or melancholy.

Mo Xi didn't look for the source of his gaze, because it didn't matter to him anymore, he just had to defeat all the challengers.

The race soon began with national attention.

Murphy and O'Neill jump ball.

Thirty-one-year-old O'Neal began to decline, but his strength actually did not decline much, and this time he actually grabbed the basketball before Mo Xi.

Sprewell wanted to step forward and press it, but Karl Malone was sideways, and Sprewell lost his chance.

Payton began to dribble through the half.

After a brief run-in of eleven games, the Lakers' game no longer looks like it was scattered at the beginning.

Payton and Malone made a pick-and-roll combination, and Malone's strong arms blocked Williams to death, and Ratliffe switched defenses.

Payton quickly shifted the ball to Malone, but the Knicks switched defenses quickly, and Ratliff stopped at the first time and came back to Malone.

But Williams wasn't the kind of player who was known for his defense after all, and Payton was let go.

Malone passed the ball back, Williams couldn't make up for it, and Payton made a decisive three-pointer.

"Huh~"

Payton had a good hand and made a three-pointer in the opening game.

Reflexively attacking the Knicks, the Knicks' offense is much simpler and rougher.

Mo Xi pulled directly to the high post to cover Williams, O'Neal hesitated for a moment and did not choose to follow, but chose Ratliffe nearby, but Karl Malone followed out.

Mo Xi and Williams block and dismantle, and Mo Xi cuts into the basket from the middle.

Karl Malone, as the strongest executor of blocking and dismantling tactics, couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this familiar scene.

Karl Malone is familiar with this kind of offensive routine, and he wants to block Moxi's offensive line as soon as possible and cut off the connection between Williams and Moxi. It's a pity that he thinks a little too highly of himself, and also underestimates the connection and strength between the new duo of Mo Xi and Williams.

Mo Xi's arm blocked one by one, and directly pushed off half of Ma Long's body, but it was only half of his body, after all, the tiger was still there, but for Williams, this was enough.

With a slight contemptuous smile, Williams crotch = down, back, hit the ground, and the basketball directly pierced Malone's crotch, bounced up lightly, and landed on Mo Xi's forward route.

Mo Xi receives the ball and rushes forward.

O'Neal shook off Ratliff and went straight to Moxi, O'Neal didn't want to defend this ball, but he didn't want to be dipped even more.

As far as O'Neal's physique and the bodies of the two are concerned, Mo Xi really can't block O'Neal in such a situation, and even because of O'Neal's supplement, the space under the basket is almost crowded by his huge body.

But Mo Xi didn't stop, after receiving the ball, he dribbled, his shoulder pushed forward, leaned on O'Neal is a turn, picked up with one arm, and dunked.

Strength, agility, skill, the Knicks' offense only took ten seconds from serve to the end, and Mo Xi's style of play in this attack is more like a small forward than a center, people suddenly feel that Mo Xi seems to have some David Robinson feeling. The four powerful centers of the year, Mo Xi seems to have taken all their essence for his own use.

Ma Long's face is not very good, and he was scored in the way he is best at, which makes Ma Long feel very embarrassed.

The Lakers attacked again, and this time Payton handed the ball to Kobe Bryant, the core of the perimeter, who started to attack the basket directly from the outside.

It's just that Sprewell's defense is still in place, Kobe was blocked, and seeing that Kobe's dribble was about to be stopped, Malone quickly came over to cover Kobe.

Kobe gritted his teeth and was about to bow his head and choose to do it, but at this time, Ratledge also followed, and the two caught Kobe.

Bryant survived in the cracks, struggling incomparably.

Fortunately, at this time, Ratliff was a little anxious, and his attack was a little ruthless, the referee blew the whistle, and the Lakers re-served and started attacking again.

Kobe Bryant received the ball directly outside the three-point line, facing Sprewell, pressing down the center of gravity, tentative step, and suddenly, Kobe Bryant raised his head sharply and raised his hand to shoot at the same time.

Feints? Sprewell subconsciously thought that this was a feint, but this kid was stunned! Seeing Kobe Bryant's hand raised higher and higher, Sprewell felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step forward and reached out to block up.

Kobe Bryant instantly pressed his center of gravity down again, and suddenly exerted force, directly using his speed to be stronger than Sprewell.

Sprewell was passed, but Sprewell didn't give up on defense, he was one step behind and followed Kobe Bryant.

At this time, under the Knicks' basket, the four elders were entangled to death, Malone was entangled with Ratrier, and Mo Xi had to get into hand-to-hand combat with O'Neal.

At the last minute, Ratrill cleverly stepped out and faced Bryant.

Kobe Bryant stopped suddenly at this time, and rarely chose not to force the basket, but a stop-and-go jump shot.

But by this time, Sprewell had already caught up, and in order to prevent fouling, he took another step to the side before jumping, although the rhythm was a little late, but it still interfered with some Kobe Bryant's shooting.

"When~"

At this time, Kobe Bryant's shooting was still very unstable, and this ball was iron.

Suddenly, there was another scuffle under the basket.

Malone elbowed Ratliff away, but the rebound was already flying in the direction of Mo Xi and O'Neal.

Mo Xi pushed his back and didn't squeeze O'Neal away, but he really grabbed the key position and hugged the rebound into his arms.

Mo Xi took the ball off, and there was no movement to protect the ball, just in front of O'Neill's eyes, a long pass and a half handed the ball to Williams on the halfway line.

The Knicks push fast.

nolook-pass！

The white chocolate turned around and flicked it, and the ball was handed to the follow-up Sprewell, who was directly a chasing three-pointer. Unfortunately, Sprewell couldn't make the shot, but White Chocolate stole the rebound in the frontcourt.

White Chocolate passes the ball out, Sprewell catches it, and the Knicks reorganize the offense.

The big game between New York and Los Angeles was so exciting that David Stern couldn't help but nod his head frequently, if this year's Finals were still these two teams, it would be great.
