Chapter 167: The Great Demon King's Mercy
After Mo Xi knocked Camp off the court, he became even more unscrupulous. He received the ball in the high post, turned slightly sideways, turned his back to the basket, and suddenly his hand shook, and the ball was stuffed directly into the hands of Arenas, who ran past him, and Arenas went straight to the Magic basket.
Mo Xi's pass was fast and urgent, and Arenas's running position was also very close to Mo Xi, so the Knicks' impact this time could be described as killing the Magic by surprise, and the Magic didn't even have time to react before seeing Arenas have landed, and at the same time, the basketball was also behind Arenas, slowly sliding down from the Net.
Arenas slapped Mo Xi excitedly, and the two returned to the half court in high spirits.
The return of Mo Xi has made the Magic feel a lot of pressure, no matter which end of the offense and defense, Mo Xi's figure has always brought a lot of pressure to the Magic.
Maddie again singles with the ball.
It's just that this time it seems that the Knicks are too focused on Maddie's defense, and when Maddie breaks through, for a while, almost everyone's eyes except Arenas are fixed on Maddie, and the four of them take a step forward at the same time, ready to pinch Maddie.
Seeing this, Maddie had no intention of forcing it, so he simply made a quick stop and jumped the ball outside the three-point line.
Magic's Armstrong catches the ball and makes a direct three-point shot.
It's just that Armstrong seems to be too nervous, and his shot makes people feel very empty, and sure enough, the ball hits the front of the basket.
Drew Gooden forced Wallace to take the frontcourt rebound down. Gooden hesitated, not knowing whether to shoot directly or hand the ball to Maddie, when he looked up and saw Maddie who was deeply encircled, he still decided to attack himself, but at this moment, Wallace and Mo Xi were ready, watching from the sidelines.
Under Wallace's tough defense, Gooden laboriously shot in a ten-twisted position, his body was crooked, his left and right legs stretched out in the air, one long and one short, and the two arms were stretched forward in order to prevent Wallace from interfering and trying to make fouls.
Wallace didn't make it a hit, but it made Gooden's shot very uncomfortable.
But Mo Xi has been waiting for a long time. Mo Xi's eyes narrowed, took a big step forward, and then took off violently, and slapped it directly.
"Bang~"
Gooden was capped.
The ball went out of bounds, the Magic went back on the attack, but they were running out of time.
After receiving the ball, Maddie directly and decisively pulled out a three-point shot, which was unexpected by everyone in the Knicks, and what was even more unexpected was that this goal was scored.
Sprewell helplessly spread his hands, and he was also weak with this kind of ball.
The Knicks have long been mentally prepared for this situation, after all, no matter how good the defense is, there will eventually be a time when others will score.
The Knicks continued to attack without care, and now they have a big lead, and the situation on the court is so good that there is almost nothing to stop them.
Wallace singles with the ball in the low post. Wallace's back body skills are also very good, but just now magic was taught a good lesson by Mo Xi, at this time in the face of Wallace's back, magic is very cautious, but there is also some contempt.
Wallace naturally felt the defensive mentality of the Magic, and couldn't help but sneer, no one can underestimate his back, not even Mo Xi, you must know that when training, these two guys, who are called back-to-back singles textbooks, are not less practiced.
Wallace turned around directly, pulled the ball back, and the whole person took a step back, as if he was going to retreat and jump shot, but Wallace's offensive imagination was no longer regretted.
Wallace swiped his feet and went straight to the line and burst into the basket.
The Magic center came over to make up for the defense, Wallace turned around and passed the defender directly, but he didn't plan to shoot himself, a no-look-pass directly stuffed the ball from the waist to Mo Xi, and Mo Xi received the ball and dunked directly.
Instead of continuing to rely on these two super-strong low-post players to attack, the Knicks used team offense to break down the Magic's defense.
The Knicks began to constantly transmit from the outside, and even Mo Xi pulled out of the three-point line.
Arenas passed the ball to Houston, and he began to run diagonally to the 45-degree three-point line opposite Houston, and there was a small gap in front of Houston, but he didn't pass the ball, but distributed the ball to Sprewell in the bottom corner, and he ran to the other corner, while at the same time, Moxi came to the high post to cover, and Wallace came from the top of the arc to the 45-degree position.
Sprewell received the ball and shook it for a moment, waiting for the defender to press it in, and then passed the ball to Wallace, who was forty-five degrees, and ran up on his own.
Sprewell ran past Wallace, and at the same time Wallace passed the ball to the high post Murphy, at this moment Spréwell came to the top three-point position of the arc, shook off Maddie's defense, Murphy did not hesitate, as if throwing a bomb, and threw the basketball into Spréwell's arms.
After receiving the ball, Sprewell adjusted slightly, shot directly, and hit a three-point shot with a large open position.
The scariest part is that problems that can be solved by individual play can still be solved by the opponent's use of team attacks, and the magic feel powerless to do anything about either of these two methods.
Mo Xi has reduced the proportion of his personal offense, which does not mean that his offensive threat is smaller, on the contrary, his offensive threat is greater, because Mo Xi is constantly running on the court, and the entire Knicks are connected as a whole, it seems that Mo Xi can receive the ball in any position, and then directly end this offense, not only Mo Xi, but any person in the entire Knicks has such an ability, this set of league-winning starting lineups with super offensive power After half a season of running-in, Miraculously found the most suitable path for them, using the way of sports warfare to fight positional warfare, such a method of warfare, probably only George Karl can think of, and probably only the current Knicks can do it.
Because Mo Xi has just come back, George Karl deliberately let Mo Xi get a long time, let him find a feeling on the court, throughout the third quarter, Mo Xi can be described as a god, eight shots, four free throws Four shots actually cut 20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter, and after the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were 90:63 suffocating ahead of the Magic, the game got here, basically blew the final whistle, George Karl directly replaced the second team of the Knicks, Even if Mo Xi has just returned to the ring, he has not continued to adapt to the game, not to mention that Mo Xi's performance in this game has proved that he is in great shape. In the last 30 minutes, he shot 14 of 16 from the field, made 8 free throws, and scored a terrible triple-double of 36 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 blocks, but the most memorable thing is not only the performance of the Knicks, but also the Knicks team, the Knicks are like machines in this game, there are only six turnovers in a normal game, you know, this is a playoffs, and the Knicks' style of play is based on multiple passes and runs, in such a fast pace, the Knicks actually controlled their mistakes in single digits, Although it is also the Magic's spirit that has been broken up, and the intensity of the defense is not large, this can still make people feel the horror of the Knicks.
After the game, Mo Xi, who had just made a comeback, came directly to the press conference.
Seeing Mo Xi, the first question of the reporters was not about this game, but about Yu Moxi's ban this time.
Even reporters in New York are difficult to block Mo Xi from interviewing, let alone other places, and after the fight is over, Mo Xi disappeared directly from the public eye, disappointing a group of media and fans who are trying to know more about the content, this time Mo Xi finally showed his face, but this opportunity cannot be wasted.
"Mo, the last time you had a fight with Artest, it had a huge impact on the league, but as a result, the punishment of both of you was not serious, what do you think is the reason for this, because Stern would prefer New York to reach the finals?" Such sharp words came from the mouth of a thin man with gold-rimmed glasses.
Mo Xi only glanced at it, and knew who this guy was, this was a well-known paparazzi reporter on the streets of Los Angeles, but he didn't know why this guy was here. Mo Xi said teasingly: "What, have you changed jobs?" The entertainment industry is no longer difficult for you, so change to a new place and continue to dig? ”
Mo Xi's words caused a burst of laughter in the audience, and the man with thin glasses turned red, unable to hold back his words.
Mo Xi's face straightened, and he said seriously: "I know that many of you here want to bring up this topic that has nothing to do with this competition, and theoretically I can not give any answer, but seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic about this issue, I will say a little, and then I hope everyone will turn their attention back to this game, after all, we just gave a pretty wonderful game." ”
As soon as Mo Xi's voice fell, the entire news conference scene suddenly became quiet, the needle drop could be heard, and the reporters were looking at Mo Xi with enthusiastic eyes, although they knew that Mo Xi was a person who couldn't beat a fart with eight poles, but there were still occasional amazing words, such as last season's championship rhetoric, and in the end, it was magically realized, now? What would he say? Will it be against the Alliance?
Looking at the quiet venue, Mo Xi was very satisfied, Mo Xi said quickly and clearly with a slight smile: "The alliance did the right thing." ”
Then, there was no then, Mo Xi closed his mouth directly.
The reporters in the audience looked confused, hat's fuck!
That's not what we want to hear, what about your whining? What about your grievances? What about your anger? Is that what you recognize?
George Carr was also very happy to see Mo Xi play the reporters on the court, and said: "Okay, the first question is over, I think everyone should ask some questions about this game, it's the lady." ”
Doris Pocker, a well-known female commentator in the basketball world, was invited to comment on the game of MLB this year, before that, she had been commentating on NCAA and NBA games, and now she has come to this macho league, naturally subject to a lot of discrimination, even if she is already a well-known commentator and commentator all over the country at the moment, and this is why she is here today, she is not a New Yorker, but she is a New York State, and she received a kind signal from George Carr, Naturally, she reciprocated, so she relied on her spicy eyes to cut directly to the point, she asked: "Hello, Coach Karl, I noticed that in today's game, Mo Xi and Wallace have super strong back ability in the low post, they are almost insoluble in the face of magic, but they are still under the operation system of the whole team, playing team basketball, the proportion of individual offense is greatly reduced, will this cause a conflict between the player's individual offense and team cooperation, Will Mo Xi not use a lot of low-post singles in the playoffs? Is this kind of offense what Mo Xi likes? Are you willing to make a change for this? ”
The last two questions Doris asked directly to Mo Xi, I have to say that she saw the problem very accurately, and this time she stepped on it very accurately, but obviously, it was also something that Nicks was willing to answer.
George Carr was the first to answer "No, I think a lot of people have a problem with the definition of team offense, team offense means more blossoming, but it doesn't mean that the player's individual singles are not part of the team offense, in fact, we have a lot of offense based on the player's super individual single ability, especially the low post skills of Mo and Wallace. As for Moxi's low singles percentage in the playoffs, oh my gosh, may I keep it a secret? Wait until the day of the finals to ask me, I think if there is such a day. ”
George Carr's words shocked the audience, except for Auerbach, no coach dared to make such a rampant statement.
And at this time, Mo Xi also stood up, his answer was more direct, he said: "The way to win the game is a good tactic, and there is nothing that does not change, just the difference in the way of scoring, and" Mo Xi's words paused, he looked down at his fingertips, raised his head again, and looked very serious "If the opponent is strong enough, I will have no problem playing with him in the low position for the whole game." ”
As soon as the two extremely rampant answers appeared, the whole venue was like a frying pan, and the press officer of the Knicks smiled bitterly, this is really not a good errand!
Looking at the two masters and apprentices with the same confident smiles on their faces, Doris Pock smiled knowingly, she directly captured this scene, she planned to write a special report, but, this name, is it used by the Great Demon King Mo Xi or the Great Demon King Nix?
