Chapter 14: The First Battle of the Season
"Beep~" A whistle sounded, and the first game of the Knicks season began. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two sides jumped the ball, Mo Xi rubbed a few steps forward, looking at the wizard white center with a fierce face on the opposite side, Mo Xi looked very indifferent, he has more centers in the past few years, what kind of people have not seen it, but Mo Xi saw something strange from this hurried glance.
The Wizards' center was actually a little inward-looking, and Mo Xi felt very interested, and it was really unheard of for someone to tremble in the face of him.
However, in an instant, Mo Xi also reacted, this mentality may not be for Mo Xi, I am afraid it is because of the new return of the Wizards No. 23. Regardless of the team's victory or defeat, the pressure on this aspect will not be on Joe's gang leader, people will just say, look at that, his gang of teammates is really bad, because they have proven themselves, so the pressure of the game is completely indifferent to the old hooligans, if they lose the game, then it must be someone else's fault.
Mo Xi accurately captured the mental activity of the rest of the Wizards. Playing by God's side is not a blessing for everyone.
The two sides jumped the ball, Mo Xi jumped up and flicked the ball behind him on the head of the opposite center, and the Knicks got the right to attack for the first time.
Although the Knicks' offensive core has changed, the Knicks' offensive style has not changed much, the offense still starts from the inside, Mark Jackson and Mo Xi have not been together for a long time, and they can't pass any exquisite balls, but simply hang the ball to Mo Xi.
Mo Xi stuck in the position of the 45 degree waist, take the ball out of the air, as a center, nothing is more comfortable than receiving the ball in this position, after Mo Xi received the ball, directly to the back, squeeze out a space, while the opponent did not have time to fill this space, Mo Xi took advantage of the situation to turn around, squeezed away the opposing player, a step to the side and directly bullied himself to the inside, there is still a step away from the basket, and then he pulled the ball to the outside, pulled out a step of space, Mo Xi directly hooked the shot.
Murphy hit a near-open hook shot to score the Knicks' first goal of the season.
Mo Xi's swift and simple offense made the New York fans present feel very pleasing to the eye, and after getting used to the hand-to-hand combat of the New York gangs, there was suddenly such a small and fresh guy, people still liked it very much, but in fact, many professionals often shouted, don't be deceived by Mo Xi, this guy who looks very weak and polite, in fact, is not inferior to Ewing at the peak of the year in terms of physical confrontation.
After the Knicks scored this goal, the Wizards desperately wanted to get the ball back, or rather, it was Joe who wanted to get the ball back.
In comparison, the Wizards' offense is even more unconventional, and a lot of tactical drills are only one, which can stably put the ball in the hands of the old Qiao gang leader.
The defender of the number 23 is also considered to be the representative of his generation, Sprewell.
Sprewell's defense was very serious, and when he crossed the half-court line, he directly stuck to it, defended closely, and didn't want to give him the opportunity to connect the ball.
The Wizards began to block and dismantle, and the Wizards' white center pulled out, intending to block and dismantle for his teammates, but it was clear that No. 23 didn't seem to be very sympathetic, but it seemed that in order to take care of his teammates' emotions, he still borrowed the opponent's cover to get rid of Sprewell's defense, and the Knicks switched defenses, and Mo Xi followed out to defend No. 23.
At this time, the fans in New York couldn't help but pay a high degree of attention, and even many fans present had already stood up, which was definitely a scene they couldn't miss.
People always say that No. 23 at this age can still solve most young people one-on-one, but one-on-one is not an official game after all, Mo Xi let go of No. 23 two steps away, lowered his center of gravity, and firmly blocked the opponent's offensive line.
Some people, they regard honor and dignity as more important things than life, and the man in front of him is also such a person, seeing Mo Xi let you shoot, I will prevent you from breaking through, the old rascal was very angry, he said to Mo Xi: "Ha, do you think you can really prevent me in this way?" Also, because then you only have to do one thing, pray that I don't throw in. Before the words fell, the twenty-third was already a three-point shot.
Few people realized that this basketball player, who is considered to be the greatest, could be so headstrong in his offensive choices, because this guy not only gave everyone so many slams and wonderful dunks, but also the legendary and memorable lowest score in the three-point contest.
Joe's three-pointer missed, and Camby jumped to his feet and closed the rebound, but the Knicks didn't launch a fast break directly on the spot.
The Knicks opted to play steady.
Compared to the Wizards' pure one-man play, maybe add some running and cover, after all, Richard Hamilton is also a pretty good shooter, and the Knicks' offense is much more brilliant.
Although Mo Xi is now promoted to the core of the team, in terms of tactics, Mo Xi is not a ball bully.
Ink Xi pulled to the high position to block and dismantle Mark Jackson, and the two quickly dismantled, although Mark Jackson is a little old, but his big ass that was targeted by the league can be said to be majestic, although he is a center after changing defenses, but Mark Jackson still pushes the opponent away.
It was at this time that Mo Xi directly crushed the Wizards' point guard and came to the basket.
Mark Jackson hit the ground and passed the ball to Mo Xi, who seemed to be planning to attack the basket directly after receiving the ball, but at this time, the No. 23 old rascal was killed on the side, and he felt very unhappy when he saw that his current team's defense was torn apart, and he stepped forward to block Mo Xi.
Mo Xi didn't intend to hit it hard, but turned around, backed up to No. 23, chiseled in, and then passed the ball out.
Alan Houston received the ball, shot straight from the field, was unguarded, hit a shot in the open space, and the Knicks grabbed two more points.
However, it was still a contest between the two Eastern Conference teams, and soon, both teams found their form and began to enter the muscle grinder mode that everyone loves.
The shooters on both sides, Hamilton and Houston, were the center of attention in the first quarter, but the long-awaited confrontation between No. 23 and Sprewell failed to make the blood swell. Sprewell is the kind of player full of passion, when facing a No. 23 who is already a little old, but undoubtedly still at the peak in all aspects, she is still being educated fiercely, and is strictly guarded by the opponent, only one of five shots, and No. 23 is cut down by six points, which is okay.
But obviously, the Knicks' defensive quality is far better than that of the Wizards, who have been suppressing the Wizards by one point in the first quarter.
The warm-up of the first quarter was over, and everyone's faces on the Knicks' side became a little different, and the game began to get serious.
