A different point guard path

Most of the positions on both sides have changed back to the starting lineup, and a few positions are substitutes.

The Knicks replaced Randolph with Eddie Curry.

Thomas also discovered something was wrong between Randolph and Lin Rui, so he first staggered their time.

The Cavaliers' Gibson was replaced by Damon Jones. Damon Jones is a three-point shooter with a career three-point shooting percentage of 39%.

The Cavaliers want to use the perimeter to break through the Knicks' defense.

Knicks possession of the ball.

Lin Rui advanced with the ball.

Defensive Lin Rui is Hughes.

Hughes' weight of 83 kilograms is too thin for Lin Rui. Although he has been close to Lin Rui, he still does not cause too much trouble to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui beckoned his teammates to open up the space on the right side as much as possible.

After the teammates moved to the left, Lin Rui did not continue to dribble on the outside, but took Hughes to the low position on the right.

For a weight of 100 kg and a weight of 83 kg, low-position tactics are the most suitable.

Lin Rui hit Hughes on the back!

Crushed step by step!

Hughes couldn't bear it, so he could only retreat.

James didn't expect Lin Rui to attack in such a low position, and couldn't help it. James came from Lin Rui's left side to help defend, and Lin Rui turned to the right, taking advantage of the situation with a low hand to send the ball to Richardson who was in the air.

After receiving the pass from Lin Rui, Richardson stepped up, grabbed the ball with both hands and swung it past Gooden, turned around and scored.

The Cavaliers are very unfamiliar with Lin Rui's offensive routine, but the Knicks players are very familiar with it, so Richardson's inside cut is very decisive.

34:40.

Knight's attack.

James dribbles himself upfield.

Big Z and Gooden put on double screens at the same time, James used the screens to move laterally, and then used the space to accelerate the breakthrough.

Richardson went up, but was carried by James and went straight up the ball!

36 to 40.

James showed his dominance to the fullest. After James scored the goal, he even asked the referee for a foul.

Fans at Madison Gardens can also feel the huge pressure of chasing points brought by James.

The camera kept showing Lin Rui. Obviously, they all wanted to know if Lin Rui could withstand this wave of pressure.

Lin Rui on the field didn't have a good way to deal with James' style of play, and James rushing like this was very buggy.

Knicks offense.

After receiving Eddie Curry's serve, Lin Rui quickly advanced.

Eddie Curry dragged his fat body to chase the ball behind Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's rhythm is very fast, and he will increase the number of rounds.

Lin Rui's fast push made the rest of the Knicks also run quickly.

The Cavaliers' defense is also very clear now, which is to focus on dealing with Lin Rui and prevent Lin Rui from driving the whole team.

Cut off Lin Rui's connection with other Knicks players, and constantly consume Lin Rui with defense.

After Lin Rui arrived in the frontcourt, he still underestimated the Cavaliers' defense. Their defenses were positioned quickly, and they did not give other Knicks players any space, so that Lin Rui had no easy chance to play the ball.

Lin Rui passed the ball to David Lee, and David Lee made a hand-off pass to Lin Rui.

Then David Lee pulled away, and Eddie Curry came up to pick and roll for Lin Rui.

After the pick and roll, Eddie Curry left the big Z to Lin Rui, and took Hughes away by himself.

This was a misplacement, Lin Rui chose to fight by himself.

"Slip him!"

"Play him!"

"Fuck him!"

Domestic fans cheered after seeing this scene.

Fans love to see giant planets like this.

Big Z didn't dare to stand too far away, but he didn't dare to stand too close either.

Lin Rui's shooting and breakthrough are very threatening.

Lin Rui made three threats with the ball and did not dribble rashly.

Big Z has a lot of defensive experience, and he didn't take Lin Rui's fake moves.

After observing the Cavaliers' defense, Lin Rui began to dribble the ball.

Lin Rui passed Big Z without even changing direction. Even if Big Z took a step back to defend, his pace was too slow for Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took the ball and rushed towards the Cavaliers penalty area at high speed.

James came to help defend, Lin Rui leaned on James and took advantage of the situation to turn around and wipe it.

Lin Rui turned around and came to the three-second zone. He received the ball and swayed, hitting Gooden who was under the basket. Then he took off quickly and dunked with one hand!

36 to 42,

"Lin Rui's height and confrontation can ensure that his movements will not deform when confronting the inside line, and his skills can also be displayed."

"Many point guards are not poor in technique, but they don't have that kind of body. They will spend a lot of energy on confrontation, resulting in deformed movements in the end."

"Lin Rui obviously does not have this problem, and his physical talent is also one of the main reasons for being selected as the No. [-] pick."

Barkley and Smith were chatting about Lin Rui's goal just now.

"Nice job, Big Z, you look like a big fool."

"Lin, your footwork is amazing, and that turn."

New York fans continued to release their enthusiasm towards Lin Rui.

Lin Rui is gradually being recognized by New York fans.

The big screen at the scene kept replaying Lin Rui's goal just now.

Lin Rui has strong stability in both long-range shooting and attacking the inside line, which is why he can attract the opponent's defense every time, so as to calmly send assists to his teammates.

Under the leadership of Lin Rui, the Knicks' firepower has always been maintained very stable, and will not be the same as last season, where there will be no scoring for five or six minutes.

On the Cavaliers' side, under James' organization and tandem, they will not be opened up by the Knicks.

James' desire to attack is not high today. He has many opportunities to play hard, but he finally chooses to pass the ball.

After the first half, the score was 54-58.

The Knicks still have a 4-point lead.

林锐是尼克斯上半场领先的功臣，林锐三分球6中4，两分球5中3，合计轰下了18分10助攻的两双数据。

David Lee scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. He received the most cake-eating balls from Lin Rui, followed by 10 points from Richardson.

Lin Rui will cooperate a lot with players who can run. On the contrary, those players who have been playing singles have not formed much chemical reaction with Lin Rui.

On the Cavaliers side, James scored 22 points and 7 assists, Big Z scored 8 points and 8 rebounds, and Gooden scored 6 points.

22 points are very easy for James. He scored such a high score with ease without showing any obvious desire to attack on the court.

The Knicks have certain advantages, but the price is that Lin Rui consumes a lot.

It's not that Lin Rui's physical fitness is poor, but that he holds the ball too much, and the Cavaliers' defenders have been confronting him continuously.

Lin Rui's overall rating is only 85 points, not 95 points, which leads to such a high-intensity defense, Lin Rui has to pay more to break the defense.

This is why the Cavaliers are clearly behind, but James has been very calm and did not turn on the personal mode.
