Chapter 119: Riding the Wind
O'Neill didn't intend to let go of Mo Xi like this, and went back and started directly to the acting time that belonged to O'Neill. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
O'Neill is in a very bad mood at the moment, the goal just now seems to have brought him back to the finals of that year, and I vaguely remember that Olajuwon was like a fly above his head, buzzing, and he couldn't catch up, but he could take something away from him every time, and this is the case with Mo Xi now.
It's just that O'Neill is no longer what it used to be, and he firmly believes that even if he meets Olajuwon back then, he has the confidence to defeat the other party from the front and in a dignified manner.
O'Neal came directly to the forty-five degree card position, at this time it was Kobe Bryant who controlled the ball, and finally returned to the court, Kobe naturally wanted to perform, but now, O'Neal is still his eldest brother, and his eldest brother was beaten just now, at this time, how dare he disobey his brother.
O'Neal received a pass from Kobe, O'Neal straightened up, and took the initiative to open up a space with Moxi.
Mo Xi felt a little uneasy, but still didn't put it on, in contrast, reducing physical contact with O'Neal to defend is the most effective way to defend O'Neal, O'Neill took the initiative to open up the space at the moment, which made people feel puzzled, but it was also a little creepy.
O'Neal suddenly turned around, turned his back, and cut head-on to the basket, although O'Neal was huge and should look bulky, but in fact, O'Neal was a rare and extremely flexible center.
O'Neal saw Mo Xi blocking in front of him, snorted lightly, and gently pushed Mo Xi, Mo Xi's balance was messed up, but O'Neal did not continue to force the middle of the line, but turned around again, pulled directly to the side of the basket, and raised his hand to split the dunk.
Under O'Neill's strong winds, Mo Xi had to take a step back.
O'Neill roared, and Overlord stepped into the backfield.
Mo Xi didn't get another chance to attack O'Neal, because the Knicks' offense has always been based on team rotation, although their main scoring method is still to rely on the individual ability of the players to form a local single, but they will still use a lot of running and passing the ball to pull the space.
As for the Lakers, although the KFC grandfather has always sworn that he is playing a triangle offense, it took a year to build a triangle offense? In fact, the OK combination is the strongest in their third year, before that, OK and the Lakers relied more on the individual ability of the stars to handle the game, but the tactics that were tested by the Qiao gang can indeed make the best play for players with super individual ability.
But at this point, it has to be said that whether it is O'Neal or Kobe, their personal ability is really the number one enemy in front of the Knicks, and the two of them stirred up the Knicks' position.
Kobe's appearance not only means the awakening of the Lakers' outside line, but also the freezing of the Knicks' outside line, Houston, who played well in the last game, was targeted by Kobe Bryant, taking care of him from beginning to end, plus O'Neal is in charge, Sprewell's offensive style is more inclined to attack the basket, so he is also invisibly put on a set of shackles.
Some of the Knicks fell into passivity, and before they knew it, the original five-point gap was about to move in the direction of ten points.
As a last resort, Van Gundy called a timeout, he hesitated for a moment, and decided to replace Ewing off the court and put Johnson on the court, Ewing did not play well in this game, playing so far, only three of eight shots, but he grabbed five rebounds, the highest in the Knicks. Van Gundy decided to use Johnson to bolster the Knicks' offensive power.
However, he obviously overestimated Johnson's ability, Johnson's play completely emptied the Lakers' interior line, but it also brought a problem, the Lakers' players on the court are all people who can cover the defensive range to the three-point line, Johnson's play, on the contrary, highlights the offensive arrows that are not in the interior.
The Knicks made a few passes, and the ball came to Johnson in the high post, and by this time the Lakers had replaced Robert Horry, and Johnson was not sure to eat him on the outside, but decided to hoist the ball to Mo Xi in the low post.
Under O'Neal's push, Mo Xi had to jump out a step to receive the ball, and under O'Neal's strong targeting, Mo Xi's attack has been muted for a while.
Mo Xi jumped a long distance to control the ball, which was not very good, but there were only five or six seconds left, and Mo Xi couldn't pass the ball out and reorganize it.
Mo Xi turned his back against O'Neal and began to force his attack to the basket.
Although Mo Xi said that he couldn't squeeze O'Neill, he was still able to advance a step or two, and Mo Xi changed the ease of his previous attack, and suddenly looked like a stonemason, chiseling a huge and hard marble with all his might.
Just when O'Neill was about to laugh at Mo Xi, Mo Xi suddenly retracted his strength, in this regard, O'Neill was almost accustomed to it, virtual and real, this is still Mo Xi learned from O'Neill, but this trick is used to deal with people whose strength is not inferior to himself or even higher than himself, it is not a good choice, O'Neill leaned directly on, oppressed Mo Xi, and wanted Mo Xi to make mistakes.
But it seems that Mo Xi has already thought of a countermeasure, Mo Xi did not lose the support point, but took the initiative to retreat, and let the space that was just hard to get back, but Mo Xi's action did not end, Mo Xi dribbled and pulled, not retreating, but pulling himself back, just when O'Neill further forced Mo Xi, Mo Xi suddenly crossed to break through the middle, O'Neill forward, Mo Xi also forward, the two crossed in an instant, O'Neill was in the stage where the old force was upright and the new force was not born, and it was too late to turn back, It was passed away by Mo.
Mo Xi took two big strides directly to the basket, raised the ball high with one hand, and a Lady Liberty-style dunk smashed directly into the basket, Moxie killed O'Neal, flew to the inside to score, and stabilized the Knicks' decline.
The current showdown is so easy for Mo Xi, not physically, not technically, but in status, O'Neal as a veteran center in the league, the last widow of the 90s, although he is not old, O'Neill is already famous, in contrast, Mo Xi is a child who just came out of the countryside to work in a big city, the identity of the two is very different, but this is a good thing for Mo Xi, once the wind and clouds rise, when the hidden dragon ascends to the sky, this will be the fastest way for Mo Xi to become a first-class star in the league, stepping on the bones of those who came before them.
