A different point guard path

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

The fans cheered for Lin Rui's button.

After this attack, the Magic once again strengthened their offensive firepower.

At 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 24 to 26.

The Knicks led by two points.

Magic coach Van Gundy is not satisfied with such a score.

The overall state and rhythm of the Magic are not bad, but the Knicks can't say how good the state is, but Lin Rui feels good.

But that's it, the Magic are still lagging behind.

The two teams began to rotate personnel contest.

The Knicks sent a lineup of Lin Rui, Crawford, Richardson, Tucker, and Jordan.

The Knicks continue to use multiple rotations and are full of confidence.

On the Magic side, Nelson, Turkoglu, and Howard led the team.

The Magic has an 8-man rotation, and the main players will play for a long time. Howard and Turkoglu will not play as long as they can.

Van Gundy also has no choice but to arrange. The Magic's personnel reserves are not as sufficient as the Knicks. He dare not play like D'Antoni.

Van Gundy needs to make sure the second unit doesn't lose points against the Knicks.

Van Gundy and the players emphasized the defense of Lin Rui.

Defending Lin Rui is very difficult and requires everyone to work together.

Barkley said: "The Magic played very cautiously, and Howard is still on the court."

Smith said: "They can't be careless. If they face the Knicks behind, they will have a difficult time."

Magic offense.

Nelson dribbles upfield.

Nelson is a point guard with a strong offensive ability, but his offensive ability cannot be used against Lin Rui.

Nelson gives the ball to Turkoglu on the right.

Turkoglu breaks through and points the ball back to Nelson.

Howard provided cover for Nelson, Lin Rui bypassed the cover and chased Nelson.

Nelson took advantage of the situation and gave it to Howard who went down.

Howard caught the ball and stepped into the three-second zone. With a feint, he picked up Jordan. After staggering the rhythm, he grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it to the basket! !

"frame!!"

26:26.

The Magic tied the score.

The Knicks defended very hard, but still failed to completely prevent the Magic's offense.

There are too many offensive points for the Magic.

Knicks attack.

Crawford pushed forward with the ball.

Crawford's role is to help Lin Rui share the pressure of holding the ball.

Lin Rui changed from holding the ball to playing off the ball. Although he played off the ball, his tactics still revolved around Lin Rui.

Lin Rui ran on the right, first made a feint and cut in, then turned around and used Jordan's cover to get rid of Turkoglu's pursuit.

Crawford quickly gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui received the ball one meter away from the three-point line on the right without any hesitation.

Lin Rui catches the ball and shoots! !

Lin Rui's shot speed was very fast. Even though Bass, who was assisting in defense, followed closely, Lin Rui still caught the shot space.

Lin Rui successfully completed the shot, and the basketball drew a wonderful arc.

"Shh!"

26:29.

The Knicks quickly grasped the score advantage.

Turkoglu, who was defending against Lin Rui, was speechless. He was already close, but he just couldn't defend.

Lin Rui's shooting speed determines that he will have a lot of space.

Lin Rui's shooting speed may be the fastest in the league.

Magic offense.

After Nelson controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he continued to support Turkoglu.

Richardson defends Turkoglu.

Richardson's defense isn't as good as Korver's.

Turkoglu couldn't directly press Richardson to play.

Richardson's defense is also in place, and Turkoglu tried to change the dribble and he couldn't get past him.

Turkoglu gives the ball to Bass in the right corner.

Bass dribbled the ball in the middle of the emergency stop.

Bass is running out of attack time on this ball.

"Shh!"

Shot at the buzzer! !

Bass's middle distance is still reflected.

28:29.

The Magic clung to the score.

Knicks attack.

Crawford dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and organized the outside to pass the ball.

Lin Rui circled Jordan's off-ball screen again.

Still two meters away from the three-point line on the right, Lin Rui received the ball.

But this time Lin Rui didn't shoot immediately, but feinted.

Turkoglu rushed forward.

After Lin Rui clicked Turkoglu, he dribbled the ball and took a horizontal step to open up the space.

Continue to bombard with ultra-long three-pointers! !

The cheers of the fans in the Madison Garden Arena suddenly rose. This is a typical Lin Rui style three-pointer! !

Knicks fans love to see such three-pointers, this kind of three-pointers is very morale-boosting! !

D'Antoni also raised his hands high, and he was used to Lin Rui's shots.

Lin Rui's three-pointers are not due to how the opponent's defense is, but how his offense feels.

As long as Lin Rui's offense feels in place, the distance is not a problem.

Basketball is like having a scope on it! !

Draw a wonderful arc! !

"Shh!"

An arrow through the heart! !

28:32.

Willful offense.

After scoring the goal, Lin Rui raised his hands and kept raising them, indicating that the cheers at the scene could be louder.

The fans also cooperated very well and continued to send out cheers, which were very shocking.

Whenever Lin Rui hits such a super long three-pointer, the fans will always send their enthusiasm.

Magic offense.

Howard asked for the ball inside.

Howard singled Jordan, and turned to the three-second zone after consecutive hits.

Continue to shake, Jordan took off, Howard leaned on Jordan and layup!

"boom!"

"Beep!"

The ball goes into the whistle! !

Jordan's defense against Howard is still too tender.

D'Antoni felt that at the beginning of the second quarter, Jordan could not be played.

Still can only use Dayao and Gasol to deal with Howard.

Howard gets to the free throw line.

"Shh!"

31:32.

After the free throw, Howard compared his biceps with Lin Rui.

This is Howard's provocation to Lin Rui.

Little Jordan shook his head, being beaten up by Howard made him a little frustrated.

After this attack, neither side scored in the last attack!

Lin Rui scored 17 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in the first quarter.

For the Magic, Howard scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The two main players of the Knicks and Magic performed very well.

Break between festivals.

D'Antoni criticized Jordan for being too easy to jump off.

If it wasn't for him being targeted at this point, the Knicks should have more leads.

D'Antoni himself also secretly reflected that such an important game should not rely too much on a rookie.

On the Magic side, Van Gundy continued to emphasize his defense against Lin Rui.

Lin Rui played very easily in the first quarter, and the Magic failed to defend him.

The rest of the Knicks haven't exerted much force yet. If they start to exert force, it will be difficult for the Magic to deal with it.

Moreover, if Lin Rui plays easily, it means that he will explode at any time in the future. The Magic have already experienced Lin Rui's explosion, and they have no way to recall that terrible experience.

In the second quarter, to Van Gundy's relief, Lin Rui left the field.

Dayao and Randolph led the team on the field.

The Knicks mainly play on the inside, while the Magic mainly play on the outside.

The Magic's outside touch is good, making three-pointers one after another, and the Knicks' inside offensive efficiency is mediocre.

In the second quarter rotation contest, the Magic played a wave of 12 to 4 to the Knicks.

43:36.

The Knicks fell into a passive position at home.

The Magic know the Knicks too well, they have done a lot of research,

The Knicks looked a little underprepared.

The outside firepower of the Magic's second team was somewhat beyond D'Antoni's expectations.

Of course, this also has something to do with the Knicks pulling their hips inside.

D'Antoni quickly stopped the game.

"Lin Rui!"

"Lin Rui!"

"Lin Rui!"

Knicks fans shouted Lin Rui's name loudly.

When the Knicks fell into a passive state, the fans hoped that Lin Rui could stand up.

The contest between the two teams' starting lineups.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui regained control of the ball.

This is the first time the Knicks have fallen into a passive position in the playoffs.

This also shows that the strength of the Magic is not comparable to the Bulls. If the strength of the Bulls is used to deal with the Magic, the Knicks will also suffer.

Although temporarily passive, Lin Rui is not worried, the game time is still very, very long.

Lin Rui dribbled and pushed forward. Compared with the Magic inside, the Knicks didn't play well inside.

Facing the pinnacle of Howard, the Knicks are also a little flustered inside.

After Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he called to open up the space.

It was Turkoglu who defended Lin Rui.

Turkoglu opened his hands and dared not be careless.

He was too impressed with Lin Rui's offense.

The highest score of Lin Rui's career was scored against him.

After the space was opened, Lin Rui immediately turned to the left of Tutkoglu.

Turkoglu followed Lin Rui closely, and Lin Rui immediately dribbled back to the right.

Lin Rui hopped horizontally to collect the ball and shot quickly.

Lin Rui's shot was at the top of the arc, and Turkoglu couldn't keep up with Lin Rui's rhythm.

Basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Shhh!!"

43:39.

As soon as Lin Rui came up, he helped Nix stop the bleeding.

Fans at Madison Gardens screamed and yelled.

Lin Rui also held up a three-point gesture in line with the fans.

Lin Rui makes fans feel very reliable. No matter what state the Knicks are in, Lin Rui is the Knicks' pinnacle of stability.

Turkoglu shook his head. Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't guard Lin Rui one-on-one.

There are too many ways for Lin Rui to score. As long as Lin Rui's technical moves are used, then Turkoglu is basically defenseless.

Zhang Weiping said: "Lin Rui is still stable, he scored and controlled the situation!"

Xu Jicheng said: "The Magic are much stronger than the Bulls, and the Knicks need to increase their intensity as soon as possible."

As the commentator said, Lin Rui on the field led his teammates to start increasing their defensive strength.

Lin Rui directly began to press Nelson who was dribbling, and the players in other positions were also suppressing their opponents.

Nelson's continuous back dribble combined with diving only passed halftime.

Nelson did not hand over the ball easily, and there were no good opportunities to receive the ball in other positions.

Nelson calls out Howard's cover.Enter Howard.

Lin Rui was prepared, Nelson used the cover to make an emergency stop in the middle distance, and Lin Rui interfered behind him.

"frame!"

Nelson took the ball too much for granted. Lin Rui's defense was not so easy to break, and Dayao controlled the rebound.

Dayao gave the ball to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen quickly transferred the ball to Lin Rui in the frontcourt.

Lin Rui controlled the rhythm a little.

After his teammates had passed halftime, Lin Rui launched a pick-and-roll with Randolph.

Randolph's cover was very solid, helping Lin Rui fend off Nelson and Turkoglu's pincer attack.

Lin Rui dribbled in with his low hand.

Howard's defense came again.

Lin Rui's second sprint accelerated past Howard's right side.

Take the ball and step, take off and take off into the air.

The tomahawk-style split dunk hits the basket! !

"frame!"

The basketball made a bang!

43:41.

Lin Rui succeeded in attacking consecutively and helped the Knicks recover the point difference.

The point difference between the two teams returned to the gap of one goal.

Van Gundy yelled, "Flank, flank him!"

Needless to say, Van Gundy, the Magic players also know what to do.

Just want to defend Lin Rui by pinching?It would be nice if it was that simple.

Although the score is still leading, but the magic is already very nervous up and down.

Magic offense.

Nelson brings the ball upfield and Turkoglu goes over to set a screen.

After the screen, Nelson returned the ball to Turkoglu.

Lin Rui switched to defend Turkoglu, and Turkoglu had a bitter look on his face.

Regarding Nelson's return pass, Turkoglu was speechless, and Lin Rui was the best defensive player, which was very difficult for him to play.

Turkoglu's barely dribble attempt went past Lin Rui.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Turkoglu didn't have absolute speed, so he couldn't pass Lin Rui.

Turkoglu wants to pass the ball to Howard inside.

But as soon as he passed the ball, Lin Rui stretched out his long arms.

"Snapped!"

Lin Rui directly intercepted the ball.

Randolph behind him controls the ball.

Lin Rui was about to go down, and Randolph threw the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui received a fast pass from Randolph two meters away from the right side of the three-point line in the frontcourt.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui dribbled the ball to adjust, absolutely neutral, and fired again with a long-range three-pointer! ! !

The eagle hits the sky! !

The basketball hits the box with precision! !

"Shh!"

43:44.

Overtake the score! !

"pause!!"

The magic was stopped by Lin Rui.

The cheers of the fans at the scene continued.

"Nice job!!"

"Lin Rui is easy to use, and he can handle opponents as soon as he comes up."

"incredible!"

"Respond to a wave of offensive climax to stop the opponent."

"The scene of deja vu, Lin Rui seems to do this every time."

"This is the MVP!!"

"Lin Rui explained the best definition of MVP!"

Lin Rui's continuous attack cheered up the fans.

Lin Rui's attacks on the field were continuously replayed on the big screen.

Almost every goal of Lin Rui's offense is the kind that needs to be scored in the top five. It is full of appreciation, and the fans like this set very much.

Originally, Howard had a smiling face, but now it is not good in an instant.

Anyone can feel Howard's unhappiness.

Faced with Lin Rui's crazy personal attack, the Magic was in a hurry.

The Magic's attempt to further open the score failed.

After returning from the timeout, Nelson made another mistake.

Nelson and Howard played a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Nelson hit the ground and passed the ball to Howard, but Dayao saw it through.

Dayao cut the ball, Dayao gave the ball to Korver, Korver gave the ball to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui gave it to Tony Allen, who was going down the frontcourt.

Tony Allen flew to the basket and scored the ball.

43:46.

A 10-0 spurt.

The Magic's dilemma continues.

After the Knicks improved their defense, it was difficult for the Magic to even score.

The Magic continued to attack.

This time Howard wanted the ball inside, and Howard turned his back to eat Dayao.

Dayao defended against Howard without flanking, and directly defended alone.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Howard turned around and made a small hook after a strong hit.

"frame!"

The basketball bounced off the front frame and Randolph got the rebound.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Yao's defense is not the same as that of Jordan, Howard must be deflated now."

Xu Jicheng said: "Dayao's defense feels good, and now he needs to find some offensive touch."

Randolph gave the ball to Lin Rui.

After Lin Rui went to the front court, he encountered a flank attack, and Dayao came up to cover.

Lin Rui didn't rely on cover, but pulled back.

Dayao stepped forward, and Lin Rui attracted the attention of the defender.

Lin Rui directly jumped up and passed the ball to Dayao who was downshun.

Dayao didn't even dribble when catching the ball, he just grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high! ! !

Dayao knocked away Lewis who was helping to defend! !

"frame!!"

43:48.

The super offensive wave is still going on.

The Knicks regained the initiative.

Dayao waved his arms excitedly.

Howard came out and set a pick and roll for Lewis.

After the pick-and-roll, Lewis' high mid-range.

Lewis' shot was accurate.

"Shh!"

45:48.

Magic can stop the bleeding.

Knicks attack.

The morale of the Knicks team is up.

Everyone is running.

Lin Rui also kept moving the ball.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Korver, and Korver transferred it to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen passes the ball to Randolph.

Randolph then gave the ball to Korver around the bottom corner.

Lin Rui's running position affected the defense, the Magic followed Lin Rui up and down, Korver got a gap on the outside,

After Korver received the pass, he took aim at the basket and then shot calmly.

"Shh!"

45:51.

The Knicks are all open.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the score between the two teams was 56 to 64.

The Knicks entered the locker room with an 8-point lead at home.

In this quarter, the Knicks' second lineup, which is mainly inside, did not perform well. Lin Rui regained control of the game after he stepped up.

The morale of the Magic team was poor, and they were on a roller coaster. Lin Rui dominated the game with 35 points and 8 assists in the first half.

Lin Rui disintegrated the Magic's defense alone, and then drove other Knicks players.

The other players of the Knicks are not without strength, but the state needs leaders to drive them.

As long as Lin Rui drives it, the game will be firmly under control.

Home team locker room.

Lin Rui and his teammates emphasized the precautions on the defensive end.

An 8-point lead does not seem like a lot, but it is not difficult to catch up.

What Lin Rui needs to do now is to stabilize this advantage.

Magic is a strong team, they are always full of tenacity, it is not so easy to defeat them easily.

"Lin Rui hit 60+ tonight."

"It was really easy to score."

"Dayao's state is gradually coming back."

"Dayao and Howard fought hard for a few rounds and firmly gained the upper hand."

The fans are discussing the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Lin Rui led the second team on the field, while the Magic was the first team.

Barkley said: "Now the Knicks need to pay attention to their rotation scoring problem."

"Shua!" It turned out to be true!

63:67.

The momentum at the scene has somewhat subsided.

But soon, Lin Rui responded.
