A different point guard path

..........

The Knicks completed a sweep, and the Knicks' opponents in the next round also completed a sweep.

Although the series between the Magic and the Heat was not as exaggerated as the Knicks' win, they won every game.

The Heat have only one Wade who can play, and the Magic has a deep lineup. Howard guards the basket, Turkoglu organizes the series, Nelson, Lewis and other veteran shooters play steadily!

On the night when the Knicks won the Bulls, the Magic also announced that they had advanced, but the duel between the two teams would not start so early, and they needed to wait for the rhythm of other teams.

............

"Both the Knicks and the Magic swept their opponents in the first round. The Knicks won more simply and neatly, but it cannot be taken for granted that the Knicks can beat the Magic."

"Lin Rui led the Knicks to an unbelievable first-round performance. Their current lineup depth is not inferior to any team, especially the inside line. They have two All-Star insiders Zach Randolph and Yao Ming, and then there are two potential centers Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan, these four will make Dwight Howard encounter a huge challenge."

"Whether the Magic win or not depends on Dwight Howard attracting flankers to create space for outside shooters."

"The inside and outside duel between the Knicks and the Magic is very exciting, and I am looking forward to the duel between these two teams!"

When the media were discussing the Knicks and Magic series.

The NBA's major awards have also been announced.

The first officially announced award is "Rookie of the Year" - Derrick Rose (Bulls)

Not many people doubt that the best rookie of the year is Rose!

Although Rose is far less amazing than last year's rookie Lin Rui, except for the bug of Lin Rui, Rose's performance is not inferior to that of the top picks in other years.

In the Bulls this season, Rose averaged 36.8 minutes, 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game.

His performance is good enough, the most important thing is that he helped the Bulls enter the playoffs.

Rose also played very well in the playoffs.

Immediately after the second award is the best sixth man - Jason Terry (Mavericks)

ESPN Comments: "Jets" Terry averaged 19.8 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game.His performance is good enough, he served as the sixth man, a bit of a big talent, but Nowitzki's ability to score is super, Terry will lead the team when Nowitzki is resting, and bring help to the Mavericks!

"Most Improved Award" goes to Devin Harris (Nets)

ESPN Comments: Harris averaged 22.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game this season, which can be called an All-Star level!It is a pity that Durant did not get this award. Durant has been in the league for 2 years, and he is now ranked first in the league in points per game. The top five are the league's top superstars Lin Rui, Wade, and James , Kobe, Nowitzki.

"Best Regular Season Coach" Mike D'Antoni (Knicks)

ESPN Comments: Although D'Antoni's team has the best players in the league, his influence on the team cannot be ignored to create such a super team! !The Knicks have broken countless records this season. D'Antoni still doesn't get enough respect. His transformation of the Knicks is successful. The Knicks' reliance on Lin Rui is much lower than last season, and their number of wins It has also improved. Even if D'Antoni is the least good at defense, this season, the Knicks have suppressed the opponent's shooting percentage to the bottom of the league. No team can easily play in the Madison Garden Arena. It's easy to get out of the whole body, and now, the Knicks are the most promising team to win the championship, and D'Antoni has contributed a lot.

"Best General Manager" Isaiah Thomas (Knicks)

ESPN Comments: Isaiah Thomas traded to Yao Ming, Gasol Jr., Jordan Jr., and signed Tony Allen, Korver, Tucker and others. The operation is perfect.

As the head coach of the Knicks last season, Isaiah Thomas now knows too well which positions the Knicks need to strengthen, and he has done a good job. We have no reason to give this award to others.

...

...

The awards came out one by one.

Most of them have nothing to do with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui fans are waiting for the highest personal honor - regular season MVP!

Although all Lin Rui fans are well aware that this highest honor will not be left behind, it is still itchy before it is announced.

But the regular season has not yet come, the best defensive player is waiting first

Best Defensive Player - Lin Rui (Knicks)

Originally, Howard was the most promising player of the best defense, but he was knocked down by 80+ in a single game by Lin Rui....

That game surprised the media and fans alike.

Howard was targeted in that game, and was beaten by Lin Rui in various tricks.

There is really no way for the media to vote for Howard.

Since you can't vote for Howard, then vote for Lin Rui who performed well.

The Knicks under the leadership of Lin Rui often give opponents a nightmare experience on the perimeter, especially Lin Rui's steals. His number of steals is the first in the league, averaging nearly 4 steals per game!

This kind of steal means that you have 4 more rounds than your opponent!

In addition to steals, Lin Rui also has the same height and strength as a forward, and the same speed and reaction as a defender.

This allows Lin Rui to always form a huge sense of oppression when facing offensive players.

Even with Lin Rui's height, he can withstand some backs from some center forwards!A center with less strength can't hit him at all.

After receiving this award, Lin Rui also became the second point guard best defensive player after Payton.

Lin Rui's winning of this award did not cause much controversy. After all, there are not many guards in the NBA who want to play against Lin Rui.

Whether on offense or defense, Lin Rui can easily beat his opponents to a psychological breakdown.

"Lin Rui deserves his name!"

"This season, I have seen too many games in which Lin Rui defended his opponents to the point of collapse."

"Lin Rui's offense is very talented, and his defense is also very good."

"Lin Rui has the most steals and the most blocked shots among guards. It's really fierce!"

"In my impression, there are not many players who can meet Lin Rui with good statistics. Of course, when the opponent's statistics are good, Lin Rui's statistics are explosive. That's because Lin Rui doesn't focus on defense."

"Lin Rui is so handsome, and this award is also very valuable."

............

On May 5, at 2 pm, Lin Rui, who was still training, was called to the Knicks president's office by a phone call.

In this office, Dolan, Isaiah Thomas, D'Antoni and a group of Knicks executives are on the list!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the landline in the president's office! !

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The phone finally rang! !

Isaiah Thomas answered the phone.

Everyone fell silent.

"The most valuable player winner of the regular season this season is Lin Rui of the Knicks!"

"Elected unanimously!"

"Isaiah, congratulations, I will go to attend your awards ceremony tomorrow!"

"thanks!!"

Isaiah Thomas hung up the phone.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The office started to burst into applause, and Lin Rui also showed a smile on his face!

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Led by James Dolan, the Knicks executives have gone wild.

This award is very important to Lin Rui, and it is also very important to the Knicks.

The Knicks have not had a top superstar since Ewing.

MVP is one of the symbols of top superstars!

No MVP will be a parallel importer.

After applauding and celebrating, the CEO also rolled out a car of champagne! !

Everyone started celebrating directly in the president's office!

at the same time.

The official announcement that Lin Rui won the regular season MVP was also sent out.

The media, fans, and Lin Rui's teammates all sent congratulations to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's qualifications were not enough last season, so Lin Rui's performance this season is indisputable.

Lin Rui is not only the leader in scoring, assists, and steals, he also averaged a triple-double and led the team to a super luxurious record of 73 wins and 9 losses.

These also made Lin Rui's unanimous election a matter of course.

No matter how picky the media is, they really can't find a reason to vote for the MVP to other people.

"Double happiness, Lin Rui was elected the best defensive player and the most valuable player in the regular season! "

"Finally won the MVP, Lin Rui deserves it! ! "

"Lin Rui's hardest personal honor so far! "

"The league is about to enter the era of Lin Rui, I believe this will not be the first time! "

"Lin Rui conquered everyone who played this season! "

"NBA: Lin Rui won the 2008-09 regular season MVP! "

"Unanimously Elected, Unprecedented! ! "

"The MVP Who Conquers Everyone! ! "

"Lin Rui played an epic season! "

The news that Lin Rui was selected as the MVP immediately caused a sensation in the country.

Although the fans knew that Lin Rui would win this season's MVP, when the award actually came, the fans were still a little excited.

After all, this is an honor that Dayao has never had before!

All the major forums and portal websites put the news that Lin Rui won the MVP at the top.

Fans are actively discussing this matter.

Lin Rui's playing is not only a great viewing experience, he also brings a unique cultural exchange.

More and more domestic sponsors have reached in-depth cooperation with the NBA.

There are also many NBA teams focusing on going to China to inspect players to see if there is a second Lin Rui.

Morning, May 5rd!

In the awards hall.

Lin Rui stepped onto the podium in a suit and leather shoes.

Taylor Swift, Scarlett, Li Feifei, Zeng Xiaoran and other girls who have stories with him are all sitting in the auditorium.

The Knicks teammates were also wearing training uniforms and waving to Lin Rui.

All the media also pressed the flash to take pictures of Lin Rui's rare appearance in formal attire.

Lin Rui took the trophy from the CEO!

"Kakkaka!"

After going through the process, Lin Rui also started his MVP speech.

"I am very excited to receive this trophy, it is a recognition of my work."

"This was my childhood dream...."

"I thank my parents, my teammates, my coaches..."

Lin Rui's speech lasted about 20 minutes.

He started talking about his own childhood experiences, and talked about his fate with basketball.

Not too special, not very sensational, Lin Rui just expressed his sincere emotions.

......

The day after the MVP awards ceremony.

The second round match between the Knicks and the Magic also started.

The Knicks still have home court advantage.

.......

At the pre-match press conference.

Howard said with confidence: "We will definitely win the series. They are not as terrible as you imagined. We already have countermeasures against them!"

Howard's self-confidence also made the reporters stunned for a while. If it wasn't for Lin Rui's 80+ victory over the Magic, they would have believed it.

Howard has no objection to Lin Rui getting the MVP. His dissatisfaction is mainly the best defensive player.

Howard felt that the award should be given to him, not to Lin Rui.

Turkoglu also said: "We are very familiar with them, they are really strong, but we have a chance, we have the possibility to win in the series, our goal has not changed, it is still the pursuit of the championship."

The Magic's players are confident after the first round.

The current state of the Magic is indeed the best. Lin Rui remembers that this team reached the finals in the previous life and lost after six games against the Lakers.

All kinds of provocative remarks were made by the Magic.

The Knicks didn't give in too much.

Randolph said: "We didn't take them seriously. They have always been our losers. Last season, they will be this season."

"They're just consoling themselves," Tucker said. "Their actions are not as strong as their mouths."

"We're going to slam them down and rub them on the ground," Richardson said.

The Knicks really don't need to be afraid of the Magic, they have the most luxurious inside line in the league.

.........

The commentators of the TNT studio are ready.

Barkley said: "Although I am a Knicks fan, I support the Magic tonight. I hope they cause more trouble for the Knicks, which makes the game better."

Smith said: "Yeah, the last round was really eye-catching, and I hope that will not happen tonight."

Barkley said: "In terms of overall strength, the Knicks are stronger than the Magic, but the playoffs have never been a game that only depends on strength."

Smith said: "Let's see if Howard can withstand the impact of the Knicks inside and outside."

.......

After the appearance ceremony.

D'Antoni arranged tactics for all players: "Choose to transfer the ball from the outside as much as possible. If there is a chance from the outside, you will make a decisive shot. Don't hesitate."

Howard still has an impact on the Knicks' formation.

"Don't bask in the joy just because we swept the opponent in the last round."

"It's all about to start all over again!"

D'Antoni readjusted the Knicks' tactics.

Playing magic can't be the same as playing bulls, otherwise you will suffer a lot.

Knicks starters: Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Korver, Randolph, Dayao.

Magic starters: Nelson, Barnes, Turkoglu, Lewis, Howard.

The lineup gap between the two teams on paper cannot be said to be very large, and there are still a dozen.

Fans at Madison Gardens cheered loudly! !

In this cheers.

Dayao and Howard jumped up!

............

Howard jumped the ball and continued to beat Yao.

As far as the jump ball is concerned, Dayao is really not very strong, mainly because his jumping speed is not good.

Howard gave the ball to Barnes, and Barnes gave the ball to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu dribbles to the frontcourt to organize the offense.

Turkoglu called his teammates to move, and Lewis used Howard's off-ball screen to create a gap in the bottom corner.

Turkoglu gave the ball to Lewis after he forced Korver himself.

Lewis caught and shot, Randolph didn't follow! !

"Shh!"

3:0.

The Magic are too familiar with the Knicks' defense. They also play outside, so they don't easily challenge Randolph and Dayao's defense.

The Magic suffered enough losses during the regular season.

Randolph's pace is indeed relatively slow, and it is difficult to prevent it.

The Knicks' defense looked broken from the start, and the fans at Madison Gardens were a little quieter.

The two teams are really too familiar with each other and have played against each other too many times.

After Lewis scored the goal, he also looked at Randolph provocatively.

Lewis didn't dare to really conflict with Randolph. He felt that he would definitely not be able to beat Randolph, but the necessary confidence still had to be built.

Knicks offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to suppress the rhythm.

Lin Rui's rhythm is fast and slow, and the metronome is in Lin Rui's hands.

Under normal circumstances, the Knicks mainly attack in positions. When the opponent makes a mistake or grabs a long rebound, the rhythm will be raised in an instant.

Lin Rui is the only one in the Knicks lineup who can play fast break.

When Lin Rui has a chance to fight back, his speed will explode at that time.

"Respond to the past!"

"Lin, come on!"

"Sweep them!"

Fans at Madison Gardens keep getting up.

Playing the Magic in the playoffs also excited Knicks fans. Lin Rui's personal scoring record was reflected in the Magic.

Fans still hope to see Lin Rui erupt to slaughter the Magic tonight.

Lin Rui's dribbling is very steady, and Barnes is responsible for marking Lin Rui.

Barnes kept putting pressure on Lin Rui, but Lin Rui didn't take it seriously.

After Lin Rui dribbled the ball, he organized the pass and dispatched the ball to Randolph on the inside.

Howard's main defense is Dayao, and Randolph's opponent is Lewis. Lewis' defense is slightly worse.

Randolph held the ball in the low post to observe, and then started post-up singles.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Randolph's strength and weight overwhelmed Lewis.

Randolph squeezed in slowly.

Lin Rui was not idle when Randolph was playing back.

Tony Allen made an off-ball screen for Lin Rui, and Lin Rui inserted directly from the top of the arc.

Randolph underhanded the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took the ball and flew straight into the air, Barnes had already been thrown away by Lin Rui, and Howard was stuck by Dayao.

Lin Rui turned his battle ax sideways to complete the split! !

"frame!!"

3:2.

The Magic are familiar with the Knicks, and the Knicks are also familiar with the Magic.

The Magic's defense was instantly torn apart by the Knicks.

"Om!!"

After dunking, Lin Rui pulled the basket to protect the balance of his lower body.

but!

"boom!"

Barnes who came back directly pushed the swinging Lin Rui.

Lin Rui let go and flew all over the basketball pad.

Lin Rui was not injured, but he was very angry.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

"what are you doing?"

Lin Rui and Barnes immediately sparred.

"Beep beep!!"

The referee came over and quickly separated the two.

Knicks players are also protecting Lin Rui.

Barnes applauded Lin Rui fiercely.

Obviously, the Magic is also trying to provoke Lin Rui, to see if there is a chance to get Lin Rui off the court by means other than basketball.

The referee didn't go back to watch the video. Barnes' action was too subtle.

The referee just warned Barnes.

The fans at the scene booed a lot! ! !

Knicks fans can see that Barnes is deliberately looking for trouble.

Lin Rui's emotions did not lose control. He looked at Barnes firmly, and then signaled his teammates to return to defense.

Barnes' eyes were full of rebelliousness. He seemed to be provoking Lin Rui. If he was beaten up by Lin Rui, then the limit would be successful.

Magic offense.

Nelson brings the ball upfield.

Lewis is still running, and Howard continues to screen him off the ball.

This time Tony Allen switched to defend Lewis, and Lewis' jumper from beyond the three-point line was interfered with.

"frame!!"

The basketball hit the rim hard.

Howard wanted to grab the offensive rebound, but was firmly stuck in the position by Dayao.

Randolph jumped out and grabbed the rebound.

After Randolph controlled the rebound, he continued to talk to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt, Barnes defended Lin Rui.

Lin Rui waved directly to pull it away.

Barnes clapped his hands and signaled Lin Rui to come anyway.

"Lin, I promise, you will have a hard time tonight." Barnes growled at Lin Rui.

From his roar, Lin Rui heard a trace of fear.

Seeing that Lin Rui was going to teach Barnes a lesson, the fans cheered again.

The actions of Barnes just now were too dirty, and the fans were also very upset.

Fans love watching this scene.

"boom!"

Lin Rui hit Barnes on the chin while dribbling.

Although Lin Rui is a point guard, he has advantages in strength and tonnage.

Barnes' chest was hit hard by Lin Rui, and he was a little confused.

Barnes didn't expect Lin Rui to be so horizontal. Lin Rui used the space created by the confrontation between the two to complete the explosive acceleration and overtook Barnes on the right.

With Lewis' defense, Lin Rui received the ball and took the European step.

Lin Rui kicked the ball from the left to the right, and strode the ball across Lewis' head.

Lewis watched as Lin Rui took off and kicked the ground for a dunk! !

"frame!!"

3:4.

Others are European step layup, Lin Rui is European step dunk.

The cheers of the fans kept ringing.

"so cool!"

"This pace, this arm span, tsk tsk!"

"The talent is overflowing."

"Great Eurostep!"

"Magic still can't stop Lin Rui like that,"

"Lin Rui is going to beat magic to death."

The fans cheered.

After Lin Rui's dunk landed, he yelled to Barnes on the way back to defense: "It's much easier to pass you than to cross the road."

Barnes' face turned black, he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to pull Lin Rui just now.

The two are not players of the same level.

Magic offense.

Howard wants the ball inside.

Turkoglu gave the ball smoothly.

Howard was very difficult to play against Dayao. After hitting Howard continuously, he jumped to the front and made a small hook.

Howard has no other choice, he has no way to enter the three-second zone.

Dayao did not block Howard.

The ball bounced twice off the rim and fell in.

"Shh!"

5:4.

The Magic's offensive state at the beginning was still good, scoring two goals in three rounds.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Dayao stepped up to cover.

After the cover, Dayao went down and took Barnes away.

Lin Rui faced Howard directly.

Lin Rui didn't have ink marks, and adjusted the rhythm with continuous back dribbles, catching a rhythm difference with Howard.

Instantly kicked off the ground and made a quick three-point shot.

Howard's defense seemed to be a beat slow.

"Shh!"

5:7.

Lin Rui's military training Howard succeeded! !

After scoring the goal, Lin Rui celebrated by waving three fingers.

Howard was very depressed, he couldn't defend this ball at all!

"Don't be discouraged, it's not something one person can do to prevent him." Turkoglu came over to encourage Howard.

Facing an offensive player of Lin Rui's level, it is indeed easy to lose confidence in defense.

"I understand." Howard didn't laugh and laugh, but looked serious.

Howard has been trained by Lin Rui for a long time, and he has also cultivated his mentality.

"Howard is often pulled out by Lin Rui for solo practice, haha."

"Howard's defense is not bad, but facing Lin Rui is a disadvantage."

"Lin Rui's heads-up is really fierce."

"Ignore any defense and beat your opponent with ease."

"Kill him!"

The fans continued to cheer.

On the field.

The Magic's offense is back.

Nelson dribbles forward.

Nelson raised the tempo a little, and Howard gritted his teeth and ran faster.

Lewis still wanted to run, but this time the Knicks' defense was in place and didn't let him open.

Nelson was entangled by Lin Rui all the time, and Howard stepped forward to block Lin Rui.

Nelson made a breakthrough on the right side, and Dayao assisted in the defense.

Nelson broke through very resolutely, he got in and was about to fly to the layup.

Just when everyone thought Nelson was going to succeed in a layup.

"boom!!"

A black shadow appeared, and directly blocked Nelson's face.

The ball bounced off the backboard.

Dayao's speed was not as fast as Howard's. Howard got the offensive rebound and dunked with both hands! !

7:7.

The Magic didn't listen to Van Gundy's arrangement and kept looking for opportunities on the outside. They are still used to attacking inside.

Such an impact still had some effect.

Howard also celebrated by pulling the frame vigorously on the rim.

Dayao's expression was not good, it was his responsibility to wave to his teammates.

Howard scored 4 points in a row, all due to his defensive mistakes.

Howard's athleticism cannot be underestimated.

Lin Rui encouraged Dayao, saying that it doesn't matter.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui held the ball and advanced across the half.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Yao on the inside.

Lin Rui didn't hold the ball, but he didn't stop running either.

Dayao did not respond impulsively to Howard, but waited for the opportunity.

Lin Rui pulled the Magic's defense line from the outside, and Korver appeared in a gap at a 45-degree diagonal position.

Dayao passed the ball over.

Korver catches the jumper.

The pace is great, but!

"frame!"

The basketball hit the rim hard and bounced up.

Howard protected the rebound.

Magic's counterattack.

Howard set a screen for Nelson on the perimeter.

Nelson broke through and gave the ball to Turkoglu on the right.

Turkoglu faced Korver with a bent over impact, and a retreat step that bounced back to open up space.

Turkoglu's three-point jumper.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Shh!"

10:7.

The Magic got off to a great start, and they turned the tables.

"pause!!"

D'Antoni took the initiative to stop the game.

For the Knicks, only Lin Rui is scoring, and everyone else seems to have not adapted to the sudden increase in defensive intensity.

Bulls and Magic are not the same level of team.

Smith said: "The Knicks showed the consequences of being too easy in the first round. They probably thought they were playing the Bulls."

Barkley said: "The Magic is not comparable to the Bulls. The defensive strength of the two teams is completely different, but there is no need for the Knicks to panic. Lin Rui played normally."

Smith said: "Korver was focused on this point, and Turkoglu did not hesitate to hit him on this point."

Barkley said: "The Knicks' defensive weakness is at the small forward position. If Korver doesn't feel good, he doesn't need to stay on the court."

D'Antoni took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replacing Korver with Richardson.

Richardson's defense is not top-notch, but it is above the average level and will not become a loophole like Korver.

D'Antoni believes that with Lin Rui in the Knicks, there will be no problem on the offensive end.

In addition to Korver, Dayao was also replaced.

Dayao's state did not adjust, and D'Antoni put Gasol on top.

The cooperation between Gasol and Randolph is more tacit.

D'Antoni has a lot of experience in the playoffs, and he will not use rigid personnel. The Knicks have many players who can play, and he will be rotated quickly.

After the timeout, Lin Rui applauded and emphasized to all his teammates: "They are different from the regular season."

"Brothers, don't be careless. We must do our best to increase our focus and intensity."

"Kill them!"

Lin Rui's encouragement slightly boosted the morale of the Knicks players.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Barnes knew that Lin Rui could shoot well, so he didn't dare to give Lin Rui any space.

Pau Gasol's mention.

Lin Rui got rid of Barnes with the help of cover, and Lin Rui broke through to observe while walking.

Howard and Lewis' defensive attention was on Lin Rui.

Lin Rui hit the ground and passed the ball to Randolph who cut inside.

Lewis quickly went to help defend Randolph.

Randolph scored the ball against Lewis! ! !

"Beep!"

The referee whistled Lewis' foul.

Randolph's two plus one goal! !

Get to the free throw line.

Randolph made a solid free throw.

10:10.

The Knicks have players other than Lin Rui starting to score.

This ball Gasol also helped Randolph open up space, which is a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Lin Rui celebrated with Randolph's high five.

Magic offense.

Nelson dribbles to the frontcourt and continues to feed Turkoglu.

Turkoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll offense.

After the pick-and-roll, Turkoglu observed on the move, and Gasol Jr. defended very high, leaving Turkoglu no chance.

Turkoglu chose to give the ball to Howard.

Randolph and Gasol flank Howard at the same time.

Howard was pissed, and he missed the shot in a hurry.

The rebound was protected by Gasol Jr.

Gasol Jr. gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Barnes' defense, Lin Rui didn't wait for his teammates. Instead, after a series of dribbles, he chose to shoot a strong three-pointer against Barnes!

Barnes tried very hard to defend, but he couldn't block Lin Rui.

"Shh!"

An arrow through the heart! !

10:13.

After a timeout, the Knicks regained the initiative! !
