Chapter 56 2+1
On the bench, Ma Long felt that the game was very enjoyable.

Playing against a super center like Ewing is a bit more difficult, but it also brings a high sense of accomplishment.

"It's just a bit expensive."

Malone wiped off his sweat to rehydrate.

Offensively, they have to face the siege of the Knicks.

It's okay to say that he plays very smartly, and he doesn't make strong shots. He either makes pivot shots or mid-range shots.

After several replays and learning from Sabonis, Ma Long's ability to distribute the ball has improved a lot. This style of play is also very smart and does not consume much energy.

The main reason is that Ewing needs to be consumed defensively.

The confrontation itself consumes each other, Ewing is consumed by him, and Malone's physical strength is also consumed.

Fortunately, the physical strength strengthened to 97 points is very powerful.

Marlon hesitated.

After a short rest, the young body feels revived with blood.

Malone looked at his stats and thought, "With the style of the Knicks, they won't surrender just 11 points away."

"This game should be full."

"In this case, the data seems to be higher. The Knicks are determined to encircle and suppress me, and it is difficult to achieve it."

"You have to beat Ewing or Oakley down."

This fight is serious.

Either using elbows, or simply exhausting their physical strength, or making fouls.

Although Ma Long has elbows, he will not use them maliciously.

When the opponent is playing well, he can at most use the advantage of the elbow to make the offense more smooth and efficient without thinking about hurting others.

Malone's ability to create damage has always been very good, and he has made many free throws in every game this season.

There are no free throws in this game, mainly because after the Knicks went to the siege, Malone didn't play hard in the low post.

Now the point difference is a little bit of an advantage.

If you have an advantage, you can play a little more in the second quarter.

Anyway, it's the home game, and he is a popular hot pepper chicken.

For Stern's sake, even if the referee doesn't give more free throws, at least he will blow the whistle fairly and justly.

Even if he didn't get what he wanted, Ma Long felt that if he fought so hard and made a few fast breaks, Ewing's physical strength would definitely be exhausted.

Gorilla's strength has been maintained very well, and he is still a super center at the age of 33.

But in terms of physical fitness, it must still be affected by age.

Even if he can persist, Ewing will be weak in the fourth quarter.

"Just hit like this!"

Malone snapped his fingers.

After being happy for a while, I suddenly felt sad: "If the alliance doesn't target me, would it be so difficult for me to get a stat?"

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers performed a rotation as usual.

On the court, Clifford and Malone are leading the team.

The Knicks have also carried out a small amount of rotation, but most of them are still the main force.

Since this season, the Knicks have been rotating with 8 people.

The score fell behind, and the Knicks routinely began to play the main force.

Hawkins went off to rest, and the Trail Blazers' perimeter defense was reduced. At the beginning of the second quarter, John Starks hit a three-pointer when he came up.

28:36.

After Malone received the ball, he still faced the double siege of the Knicks.

He didn't hit hard up, and he stretched out the ball to Hawkins who was emptied.

If you double-team, someone must be left empty.

Hawkins, who was emptied, attracted Derek Harper and passed the ball to Legler, who was wide open.

When Legler swung his hand, there was a crisp swish sound.

Three point hit!

28:39.

The Knicks attacked, this time Anthony Mason Jr. missed the shot with the ball, but the rebound was grabbed by the Knicks.

This time the basketball rebounded very far.

Ma Long hid many times, but this time he couldn't escape and was stuck by Ewing.

John Starks picked up an offensive rebound and tried to drive to the basket with interference from Hubert.

Ewing still misses Cameron.

Ma Long used his elbow to fight back.

Tiezi, let's be elbow to elbow!

Ewing elbowed his heart, and his fart was almost protruded by the elbow, and he was almost turned into a cockroach.

Malone also found his position and slapped John Starks' throw!
Throwing is a small trick.

But that also depends on what 'big' is!

Malone is too big.

Big John Starks couldn't take it anymore and became a hat boy.

Malone missed the basketball this time, but the basketball was stolen by Clifford, and the man with the headband dribbled the ball himself and launched a fast break.

Oakley wanted to swear at his mother, but he couldn't catch up at all.

Derek Harper caught up, but was knocked away by Clifford, and could only watch Clifford take off and dunk with one step inside the free throw line!
Seeing that the point difference was about to widen again, Ewing fouled Malone in the low post and returned the throw.

31:41.

Malone shook his hand, watching Ewing's free throw in displeasure, making it a 2+1.

Originally, he wanted to make Ewing a foul, but Ewing made him a foul based on his experience.

As you get older, you will have the disadvantage of declining physical fitness, but it also brings a wealth of experience.

But young people also have the advantage of being young!

The Trail Blazers hit the ball out of position.

Being punished by a three-pointer from the Trail Blazers, the Knicks did not resolutely encircle Malone this time, and gave some space.

Malone found an opportunity to catch the ball on the right side of the paint, Ewing stood behind, and Anthony Mason Jr. was ready to support.

Anyway, I didn't turn my back for five seconds now.

Since he was aiming at consuming Ewing, Ma Long turned his back and began to chisel.

Ewing was able to withstand it, but it felt a bit wrong to be gouged for a while.

Why did Ma Long go back and forth and not link up with other technologies?

After digging for a while, Ma Long turned around suddenly and stepped into the center line of the paint area.

Anthony Mason Jr. immediately came to double-team.

Malone didn't pass the ball, he relied on his shoulders and elbows to open up space, and the outside hand grabbed the ball and shot straight.

Ewing and Anthony Mason Jr. subconsciously raised their hands to try to block the shot, but the desperate height difference made their efforts useless!

beep!
Swish!
A layup was made, and the referee called Ewing for a foul!

2+1!

Ma Long waved his long arm, thinking: "The home whistle is cool."

Double-teaming, and in such a small place under the basket, it is too easy for him to be tall and long-armed to cause damage.

Malone easily made a free throw and maintained the lead again.

31:44.

Ewing was very angry when Ma Long made a foul like this.

Influenced by Ewing, the Knicks began to work hard.

In the next few rounds of the second quarter, the Knicks seized the loopholes on the Trail Blazers' outside line and kept shooting three-pointers or long two-pointers.

On the defensive end, they also began to defend desperately, directly pulling the defensive intensity to the playoff level, and the Blazers defended several irons in a row.

The Knicks seized the opportunity to play a wave of offense, and in one wave the point difference was brought within 10 points.

Carlesimo immediately called a timeout, replaced Hawkins, and made some adjustments.

After the timeout and adjustment, the Trail Blazers stabilized their position and began to play a one-star game.

Five players on the Blazers field can shoot three-pointers.

Except for Malone, the other four shooting percentages are all around 40%, and the Knicks dare not let it go.

The line of defense surrounding Malone was loosened.

Malone has shown terrifying dominance at the basket. When he catches the ball, he hits Ewing hard with his back, and his hard bridge and hard horse create damage in the low post.

The one-star four-shot space was opened, and the Knicks' frontcourt trio rotated to defend Malone, but they couldn't even stop the little giant for fouls!
Amid the frenzied cheers of the Rose Garden Arena, Malone was extremely tough and regained the lead. He scored 10 points in the half quarter, held off the Knicks' offense, and continued to maintain an 11-point lead into the official timeout!
