Chapter 153: A Great Victory over the King

After halftime, the atmosphere in the locker room between the two sides could be described as worlds apart, the Knicks were as hot as fire, and the Kings were as cold as snowy mountains.

Adelman frowned, staring at the tactical board, but suddenly smiled, because he found that the Knicks' tactics actually did not have any technical content, but the problem was that no one in the Kings could defend against two big men with such excellent low-post skills, which is the most annoying thing about the Knicks. The space under the basket is already small, and the average team will put a low post player on the court, but the Knicks put two at the same time, but what makes Adelman feel a headache is that these two people are crowded under the basket at the same time, and it doesn't seem too crowded under the basket, and I don't know how George Karl did it.

For now, we can only hope for the king's attack.

Adelman played a good game, but he just forgot one thing, perhaps, the whole league has been forgetting one thing recently, the Knicks have always been a strong defensive team, and George Karl is not the old Nelson or the early D'Antoni who looks at defense as nothing, but George Karl adjusts the defense like offense, and is very passionate.

"Dudu~"

Another whistle blew, the basketball was forced out of bounds by the Knicks again, Adelman's brow has not been relaxed, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he himself would have been hard to imagine what team could make his Kings return three times in a row in one round, this is still the king's good luck, the Knicks failed to break the ball, just knocked the ball out of bounds.

George Carl's coaching in the Knicks is extremely good from now on, and he has also infected his personality to everyone in the Knicks, or in fact, it can be said that most of the Knicks are the kind of passionate people, even Houston, in private is a very passionate person, George Carr's arrival ignited everyone's blood, among which Mo Xi is the most, in the words of George Carr, Mo Xi lives in the heart of an ancient beast, and now, the beast is out of the cage!

"Toot-"

With a flute, the king attacked for twenty-four seconds.

The Kings had to go back to half-time in disgrace.

But at the end of the first half, Mo Xi and Wallace were playing on the rise, and how could they give up when they had another opportunity, and the Knicks' double-low post tactics reappeared.

Mo Xi received the ball in the low post and quickly turned a Sigma step into a frame attack, he directly raised his hand and made a shooting feint, Divac had already been nervous by Mo Xi at this time, this time, he didn't even want to think about it, and jumped directly.

Seeing this, Mo Xi did not hesitate, and directly bypassed Divac and killed under the basket with an arrow step.

At this time, the king was also a little tired, not physically, but mentally, simply put, the king had been completely subdued by the combination of Mo Xi and Wallace at the moment, and even in the face of the ravages of Mo Xi and Wallace, the whole king was a little accustomed to it.

However, compared with the first half, there are still some differences, two low-level masters who played with interest, at the moment it can be said that there are no taboos, what team offense is almost all left behind by the two, only these two people are overturned on the inside, and there are frequent subtle cooperation between each other, fortunately, Mo Xi still has some sense, and from time to time pass the ball out to others to play, otherwise, the other Knicks in the third quarter can only wait for the defensive counterattack to score.

The king completely collapsed.

Adelman sighed and leaned back in his chair, he didn't choose to change to the bench, now the king is nearly 30 points behind, this point difference is too big, and the king only gets 50 points now, which is too low a score for the king, he has to let the starter play a little more on the court, so as to save some face for the king.

Although George Karl also made a substitution, but the most crucial Mo Xi and Wallace were still on the court, since these two people are happy, you might as well let them play on the court for a while, at least to finish the third quarter.

It is said that George Karl is not good at handling the relationship with players, but that is only because of personality factors, in many places, George Karl still cares a lot about what the players think.

In the end, Mo Xi and Wallace played the entire third quarter, playing 32 minutes, and combined for 67 points, 25 rebounds and 18 assists. Among them, Mo Xi shot 15 of 23, 5 of 7 free throws, and cut a big triple-double of 35 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and Rasheed Wallace was not far behind, 20 shots and 11 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 32 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, in addition to three steals and two blocks, the performance is not comprehensive, and the score of these two people is exactly half of the Knicks' score, at the end of the game, the Knicks 134:96 bloodbath King, complete bloodbath, without a trace of emotion.

After this war, people finally clearly knew how terrible the current Knicks were, and the Knicks who found the right way seemed to be a runaway carriage, running rampant on the North American continent, and anyone who stood in his way, no matter what the source, was smashed to pieces. But fortunately, this crazy carriage is not really so crazy that it is impossible to be beaten, they still lost two games, after all, George Karl's pressing defense is always a gambling defense, it is a gamble, there is a win or a loss. After the Knicks went on an eighteen-game winning streak, they were blocked by the Mavericks with a three-point advantage.

However, the Knicks' return to the top of the Eastern Conference is already a certainty, and there are not many games left before the playoffs, and the Knicks have once again begun to prepare for the playoffs in advance.

For other teams in the league that aspire to win championships, the Knicks' current strength is really a headache for them, the trade deadline has passed, and they can't strengthen the interior line, and the combination of Moxi and Wallace can't face the Knicks if the team doesn't have at least one interior line that can be defended.

The current Knicks are like the Lakers, but when facing the Lakers' O'Neal, almost everyone uses a blue-collar player with enough tonnage to carry it inside, and then others help defend it, although the effect is not very good, but at least there will be some effect, and what should the current Knicks do?

The best way is to have two people who are good at defending inside, and strength is secondary, the main thing is footwork.

It's not that there are no defenders with flexible feet on the inside, but all along, in order to defend O'Neal, many teams have been hoarding meat shields on their own inside, even if Mo Xi was born later, the meat shield-type inside line can also play a certain role in hindering him, so for those defensive insides with flexible feet, few teams will have, let alone two.

But there seems to be providence in the dark, and there are still three teams in the league that fit that criteria, and more importantly, they are all championship contenders: the Detroit Pistons, the New Jersey Nets, and the San Antonio Spurs.
