The two sides jumped in the middle circle, Theo Ratliff against Ewing Sr. Theo Ratliff was noticeably younger, and he won possession with ease. handed the ball to Snow, and Snow handed it to Allen after half time (the first ball was singled by the core player), Allen faced the defense of the mid-range king Alan Houston, there was no pressure at all, a simple realization, shook off Houston, and scored the ball before the "Big Mom" made up the defense.

Although the home team trailed and the visitors scored a goal, the fans at Madison Square Square did not burst into boos. They are a group of fans who really enjoy basketball (and let's be honest, the home players are the saddest when they meet this kind of fans).

Knicks possession. Charlie Ward handed over to the current core - Alan Houston after halftime, do you know why Larry asked for a let go in all other positions of the 76ers? It's because Allen's defense is so poor, he only has risky steals to deter the enemy, and other times, the 76ers only have 4 people on defense, and Allen stands at the forefront, always ready to counterattack quickly. Houston certainly won't take Allen's defense to heart, he just needs to protect the ball and score it before anyone else arrives. However, Aaron is not easy to mess with either. Although the defense is not very good, it is not that he does not know how to defend, and his small actions are still very troublesome.

Houston didn't say anything either, hitting the ball with a mid-range jumper.

Larry wanted to call Luke to make up for the defense, but seeing that Luke was defending "Big Mom", he didn't open the opening, because Johnson's deterrence was greater than Houston's.

Aaron shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

But he didn't get frustrated for long, he knew his weaknesses and his strengths. Offense is his strength, and there are other things that are up to others.

After saying that, he was the first to run to the front.

This time, when Snow passed the ball to Allen, Allen directly fanned the ball out with his hand. Just when everyone was wondering, Luke received the ball and dunked it directly into the basket in front of Ewing.

He gave Aaron a thumbs up as he ran.

"Huhuhu......" The Madison Garden Plaza Arena resounded with cheers again, and the Knicks players were embarrassed, whose home stadium is this?

Of course, these are all new members, and the veteran players have long been accustomed to the behavior of their fans.

Ewing, the former core of Ewing, has lost face, and other players certainly can't get used to it, especially Charlie Ward, a player who has been a Knicks for many years, of course, can't get used to it. So he ignored Houston's request for the ball and hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area, where Ewing caught it. Leaned on Theo Ratliffe, squeezed it, twice, three times, and directly squeezed Theo Ratliffe away, and directly slammed it with one hand. Theo Ratliff reached for LaEuin and couldn't pull it down.

"Roar......" Ewing roared as he punched his chest.

"Beep - 76ers No. 50 hitter fouls, Knicks No. 33 free throw." The referee gestures like a referee.

, 76ers ball possession, this time it was Luke and Allen who played a beautiful match, Allen broke through, and then gave the ball to Luke, and then Luke forced "Big Mom", Marcus Camby and Ewing immediately came over to clamp the defense, forcing Luke to the edge of the three-second zone. The 76ers immediately realized that the situation was not good and rushed over to help. But Luke smiled and used his light arm to let the ball slide through his fingertips, and the sound of the ball sliding into the net came from the silent arena. A perfect skyhook.

The entire Madison Garden Plaza arena was silent, including the audience in front of the televisions.

It wasn't just whoever was the first to shout, and then the entire Madison Garden Square arena was boiling.

"What do I see?" Barkley excitedly said in the studio, "Skyhook! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook! After retiring from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Erwin (Magic), when the league was left with only a small hook from the center, I thought it was gone. But today it actually appeared again. Who is he? Luke Wharton! I finally knew why he was in Los Angeles that day, he went to apprentice! ”

"yes." Kenny said, "I haven't seen Skyhook in a long time. Come, let's watch the replay, you see, when the three of them attacked Luke, Luke actually laughed, the action was done in one go, there was no flaw at all, perfect! ”

"It's not the most standard, but it's great to be able to do it in less than a week, which is awesome!" Barkley was not sparing words of praise at all.

"Alright, alright." Kenny interrupted Barkley, "Everybody knows you're good with Bill, and he's good with his son Luke, so you don't need to be so complimentary." You see Ewing's face as if he had eaten something unclean. ”

"I like to watch Ewing get deflated." Barkley quipped, "But he's too dark to see." ”

"Alright, alright. Let's continue to watch the game. ”

Back on the court, the players on the 76ers bench waved white towels excitedly, while the players on the court surrounded Luke, touched his head, and slapped his ass. It made Luke very uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, don't touch it. I'm by touching it again! Luke pretended to be angry.

"Hahahaha......" The 76ers players laughed.

But the Knicks players weren't so happy, and they were in the background again.

Or the spiritual leader of the team came back to his senses first, "Don't be discouraged, he was just lucky, let's just play one and come back." Ewing said.

Then Houston said, "yes, it's only one goal, we haven't lost yet." Next look at mine. ”

After saying that, he ran to the front court. Just past the front court he received a pass from Charlie Ward. Houston chose to play singles, and he wanted to get back the face he had just now. But Allen is not so good, Houston can't break through, only choose his best shot, but I don't know if he shot too hastily, or was interfered with by Allen, or he was unlucky this time, the ball smashed on the neck of the basket and hit the iron. Ewing didn't give up, though. Although he is old, his physical strength has decreased, and his rebounding ability is still very strong. Hold down Theo Ratliff to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and then back to Theo Ratliff to play, but this time it was interfered with and the ball didn't go in. However, Ewing used his experience and skill to deceive Theo Ratliffe into a foul.

"Beep - 76ers player No. 50 fouled Knicks player No. 33 for a foul, and Knicks made two free throws." The referee awarded a penalty.

Just five minutes into the first quarter, Theo Ratliff picked up two fouls. There were two fouls in the first quarter, plus one more to play later. At this point, the player will usually be replaced. Larry did the same, replacing Theo Ratliffe and Big Ben for it. Big Ben took off his coat and walked straight to the inside.

"How?" As Big Ben walked past Luke, he heard Luke say, "I'll just say you're going to play soon." ”

"Thank you." Big Ben said.

"Don't thank me, thank him if you want to," Luke pointed at Ewing, "he got Theo Ratliff down." ”

"Oh," Big Ben smiled too, "don't worry, I'll take good care of him." ”
