The Knicks stood on the edge of the cliff, and both the players and the fans looked very focused in this game. In the first section www.biquge.info the Knicks show their strong desire to win, or rather, they have reached the point of wanting to survive. If it weren't for the fact that Bruce Bowen, who was traded from the 76ers in the middle of the season, successfully locked Sprewell on the bench, then it is clear that this high-impact player would have stuck a sharp knife in the heart of the Heat. However, Rao was so, and the Heat also ushered in a big rout in the first quarter, trailing the Knicks by as many as nine points at 16:25.

As one of the heroes who knocked Mourning off the court, Mo Xi was naturally praised by Van Gundy, but after that, he got carried away and sent two mistakes in a row, and was pressed to the bench by Van Gundy again.

In the second half of the second quarter, Mo Xi returned to the court again, but at this time, the situation on the court had changed.

Dan Marley teamed up with Anthony Carter and Bruce Bowen to hit consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter, and Bowen successfully locked up Sprewell, who led the second team, the Heat played a wave of rhythm, directly overtook the score, leading by one point, Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout and replaced the Knicks' five-long lineup again. (I've always been very curious about whether the 76ers can play if they really form a five-man lineup, there is no problem at all from a technical level, but I don't know how it will actually work.) ）

The Heat's lineup is completely different from Pat Riley's previous style, although it is also a team with defense as the core, but, obviously, whether it is the Lakers in the "show time" period or the Knicks in the Iron Army era, they have a significant feature, that is, the height advantage of the players is very obvious, but maybe Pat Riley really intends to start his future basketball theory of five all-round players who are two meters tall and have a vague position, and none of the entire Heat is more than two meters tall. Totally a quick lineup.

Fast rotation and high pressing, this defensive style will make most teams play constrained, but when they face the Knicks' strong back-to-back team, they can't help but think of MMP.

On the starter, the Heat replaced Dan Marley and put on Bruce Bowen, who has performed well on the defensive end.

Larry Johnson asked for the ball directly from a step inside the three-point line and began to force his back to push Bruce Bowen.

Bruce Bowen is extremely defensive, sticking to you from start to finish, letting you know how beautiful it is to breathe, and there are endless small movements, many first-class scorers are difficult to score in front of him, but now he is going to face a first-class scorer in his youth, and now he has no strong forward in his old age except his body.

Johnson leaned directly on Bruce Bowen, and the height of the two was clear at a glance at this time, although the official height report was two meters and three, but it was clear that Larry Johnson was much shorter than Bowen. The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat, with Bruce Bowen defending more on his tenacity than physicality or defensive skills. Just by looking at the face, Bruce Bowen was pushed back and couldn't stand. Johnson felt the powerlessness of Bruce Bowen behind him, Johnson sneered, and directly blocked Bowen with his broad body, Bowen was held down and couldn't move. Johnson turned around directly and burst into the inside, and P-J-Brown, who had already committed two fouls, did not dare to rush forward, so he could only watch Johnson make an easy layup.

Obviously, the protection of the interior line is the biggest problem for the Heat.

The Heat now need to speed up and use the advantage of their own fast and flexible side to open up the situation, but the Heat want to be a slow-paced defensive team, and suddenly let them speed up, and they feel a little helpless for a while.

Hardaway forced the team's offensive rhythm to the head, in fact, the best offensive person in the Heat team is Mashburn, but in such a position, he will face Johnson's defense, Johnson is also a good back player, plus Mashburn's body looks too weak in front of Johnson, Mashburn has actually shot one of four so far.

In desperation, Hardaway passed the ball to Mourning. Back on the defensive end, the Knicks made a defensive change, Ewing and Moxi exchanged defenders, and Ewing singled out Mourning.

Mo Ning faced Ewing, directly a top, Mo Ning is now playing blood, directly hard to hard, an iron head up to "Bang Bang Bang" against Ewing, Ewing was a little unbearable, was hit sideways, Mo Ning took this opportunity to lower his center of gravity, one step into the basket, directly split his hand to dunk.

Ewing was knocked out of the way, looking very annoyed, and dragged Mo Ning directly from behind.

"Drop~" The referee blew the whistle

"Di, Di~" There were two more hurried whistles, and the referee hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

It turned out that after the two landed, they met and pushed each other, and it was obvious that the fight just now made both of them very angry. Fortunately, the referee went up in time and directly pulled away the two, otherwise it is estimated that it will be staged again.

Mourning hit both free throws.

After the two sides made substitution adjustments, the scene fell into a stalemate for a while, and the Heat was a little helpless against the Knicks' hard-chiseled interior offensive method, and the Knicks were also helpless in the face of the Heat's crazy wolf offensive mode.

Mo Xi finally found a place to play in such a stalemate situation, because he was afraid that Mo Xi would not pass the ball well, Mo Ning was a little hesitant when defending, because he didn't know if Mo Xi would pass the ball when he fell to the ground, or just attack the inside.

Mo Xi received the ball in the waist position, which made Mo Ning feel very annoying, because Mo Xi will have more offensive options in this position, this time after Mo Xi received the ball, his action was very fast, there seemed to be no feints, directly turned around, and went to the bottom line to the inside.

Mo Ning took a step back and squeezed Mo Xixiang out of bounds, but at the same time, he also left a room to turn out and defend at any time.

Mo Xi felt the defensive pressure from Mo Ning in front of him, turned around decisively, avoided the opponent and turned around, and came to the front of the basket.

At this time, Mourning put his body to the side, blocking Mo Xi's body, and at the same time, P-J Brown immediately stepped forward, and the two planned to directly clamp Mo Xi in the three-second zone, forcing the other party to make a mistake.

Mo Xi is a little strange, the more he is surrounded by people, two or even three people, he can always make unbelievable foot movements, get a little space in impossible situations, and when he looks back, he finds that he doesn't know how to do it at that time.

Mo Xi's weird foot made a mistake, his body turned into a side-to-side basket, one foot stepped directly on the gap between the two, and then the back shoulder arched, expanding the space that he looked very like, and directly shrinking, his body moved forward, harvested into a straight line, and went directly to the basket.

Although Mo Xi still has such and such shortcomings, it is undeniable that in terms of offense, Mo Xi has gradually stepped out of his own world, and it is difficult for even first-class insiders to suppress him strongly.

So in the second half of the second quarter, the two powerful defensive teams actually formed a magical situation where they couldn't help each other, you came and went, but they didn't open the score with Mourning's whistle turn and miss, the Knicks fell one point behind and entered the second half, but obviously, Mo Xi performed very well in the first half, although he got three mistakes in the half, but the flaws were not hidden, and the strong data of Mo Xi's eight points and four versions of four assists still made the Knicks see the hope of winning, in the eyes of Knicks fans, It seems that a new savior is coming with thunder.
