A different point guard path

The Magic responded quickly, and they had a lot of people who could score.

Redick is a shooter, and he has a very stable shooting percentage.

Barkley also shouted: "The shooting percentage of the two teams has increased rapidly, and their attack efficiency is also very high. Lin Rui and Nelson have brought the rhythm very quickly."

"Let's see how the two teams play next," Smith yelled.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Crawford dribbles quickly upfield.

Crawford didn't give it to Lin Rui immediately, but rushed in after using cover.

Lin Rui is helping Crawford contain the defense, and Crawford faces very little defensive pressure.

In this case, Crawford easily broke through and made a layup.

30:41.

Lin Rui gave Crawford a thumbs up.

Lin Rui is now encouraging his teammates to attack. He really doesn't care about his own statistics.

If his teammates can keep attacking like this, he doesn't mind paddling all the time.

Lin Rui is very clear about the reasons for his failure in the finals last season. Now that he has enough helpers around him, he also needs space to play.

Magic offense.

This time it's still Redick.

Nelson's breakthrough was covered by Lin Rui, and he gave the ball to Redick on the outside.

Redick feinted, slightly lifted Crawford's center of gravity, and then dribbled laterally.

Redick made a decisive three-pointer! !

33:41.

Knicks attack.

This time it was Tucker who received Crawford's point and shot from the bottom corner! !

"Shh!"

33:43.

The shot was beautiful, but it was a pity that he stepped on the three-point line and was awarded two points by the referee.

Lin Rui's two rounds were used as containment points, and his teammates scored.

Lin Rui also applauded and encouraged his teammates to continue doing the same.

The role players of the two teams became the mainstream in the second quarter.

At the end of the first half, the score was 67 to 74.

The Knicks entered the locker room with a 7-point lead at home.

It can be seen from the score that the rhythm of the two teams is fast.

The Knicks still lead in this high-tempo transition.

D'Antoni is very excited about this rhythm, and he likes this style of play.

He is more happy running and bombing than playing positions.

If the opponent wants to fight like this, he will be willing to accompany him to the end.

The talent that the Knicks have now is D'Antoni's confidence.

D'Antoni believes that Lin Rui has the conditions to be able to organize the whole team to run like Nash.

Lin Rui is a jack-of-all-trades player, he will make up for what the team lacks.

The Magic's inside line can't play at all in this kind of offensive and defensive transition, especially Howard will be constantly tossed back and forth.

This consumes him even more.

Although the Knicks' Randolph and Dayao are the same, the Knicks can use more people than the Magic.

Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Crawford, and Richardson are all good counter-attackers.

This point appeared after the second quarter. No matter how the Magic chased points, the Knicks could always suppress their momentum.

Knicks locker room.

D'Antoni encouraged everyone: "Continue to fight like this, don't be afraid to confront them, they won't last long."

"This is our home court."

"Our physical fitness and speed have a huge advantage."

"This is a good opportunity for us to open up the score."

D'Antoni growled.

D'Antoni was very excited about the run-and-bomb tactics.

Lin Rui and everyone also nodded. Although the lead was not many points, they could feel that the Magic was not used to this style of play.

Next, if the Magic confronts them like this for a while, Howard's advantage will not be able to be used, and they will lose soon.

Magic dressing room.

Nelson said to Van Gundy: "Coach, you can't run like this."

Nelson could feel the rapid loss of physical energy, not only him, but also Howard.

"Yeah, we're a little behind."

"It's too tiring to run like this."

Other Magic players echoed.

They can all feel that this is the style of play that the Knicks like, but they themselves are very strange.

Van Gundy nodded and said, "OK, let's slow down."

The second half of the game started quickly.

Knicks starters: Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Korver, Richardson, Tucker.

The Knicks simply used a five-small lineup, and Tucker went directly to the 5th position, obviously in pursuit of extreme speed.

The Magic are a starting lineup, they are not going to head-to-head with the Knicks, they are going to slow down.

Magic offense.

Nelson controlled the rhythm and advanced slowly.

D'Antoni could feel from the beginning that the opponents were afraid to run and bomb. If this happened, the Knicks would have to change their inside line, and they would at least have a high-level inside line.

After Nelson dribbled to the front court to organize the pass, he tried to transfer the ball to the inside.

If the Knicks play a five-small lineup, the Magic will target their insiders.

The Magic successfully gave the ball to Howard.

Howard hit Tucker on the inside.

"boom!"

Howard hits Tucker.

Although Tucker can carry it, the gap is still a bit big.

Tucker retreated step by step, Howard's impact was too strong.

Richardson came to flank, to no avail.

Howard turned around to the three-second zone, forcibly filling the frame with both hands! !

"frame!"

Howard pulled the basket desperately! !

The basketball hoop wobbled.

Howard yelled at Lin Rui after landing.

Playing a small lineup is abuse! !

69:74.

Lin Rui ignored Howard, but greeted Tucker's quick hair.

The overall offensive speed of the Knicks is very fast.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and Howard hadn't fully settled yet.

Lin Rui turned to Tunilsen. Nelson's defense was in place, but Lin Rui ruthlessly knocked him away with his body.

Lin Rui strode to the inside of the Magic. Lewis just got into position, and Lin Rui grabbed the ball and vacated.

Lewis wanted to get up and block Lin Rui, but Lin Rui held him back! !

"frame!!"

Lin Rui dunked the ball hard into the basket through Lewis! !

"Beep!!"

The ball was not only dunked, but also a penalty was added.

Lewis spread his hands towards the referee, and he said he did not move.

The referee ignored Lewis's struggle.

Lin Rui stood on the free throw line, Richardson was replaced by Dayao, and Dayao came up to fight Howard.

Lin Rui made an extra penalty and made a steady hit.

69:77.

Magic offense.

Nelson still wants Howard to storm the paint.

Howard's inside singles.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Unlike Tucker, Dayao carried it easily.

Howard's small hook, without accident, hit the front frame!

The rebound was controlled by Dayao.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

With Dayao around, the Knicks would not be able to push away easily.

Lin Rui waited for Dayao to take his seat.

After a series of tactics passing the ball, Lin Rui gave the ball to Dayao.

Dayao hit Howard inside.

Howard also carried it.

But Dayao's small hook feels even better!

"Shh!"

69:79.

The Knicks once again opened the point difference to double digits!

Magic offense.

Nelson and Howard made a mistake in the pick-and-roll.

After Howard took the ball against Dayao, he didn't hold it steady, and his butter hand went out of bounds.

The Knicks' adjustments worked as soon as they came.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball across half court, and this time the speed was quite fast. The Knicks players were running forward, and Dayao didn't want to hold back, so he ran hard.

However, Nelson fouled early, and Lin Rui's speed was slowed down.

Serving again, Lin Rui gave the ball to Tony Allen on the right.

Tony Allen took a step forward with the help of Dayao's cover and gave it to Korver.

Korver made a three-pointer from the outside.

The ball has some distractions.

"frame."

Korver's shot hit the rim.

Fortunately, Dayao grabbed the offensive rebound.

Howard's rebound protection ability is very strong, but Dayao is tall enough!

After getting the offensive rebound, Dayao tried to attack by himself, but Howard's defense was in place, and Dayao was not [-]% sure.

Dayao gave the ball to Lin Rui on the outside.

Lin Rui received the ball outside the three-point line on the right.

Lin Rui took the ball more easily.

Turkoglu, who was chasing Lin Rui, took off.

Lin Rui didn't shoot a three-pointer on the spot, but rushed in with a big stride.

Howard immediately came to help defend Lin Rui again.

Lin Rui passed the ball around Howard's waist with his low hand and sent it to Dayao in the three-second zone while running at high speed.

Dayao is in an absolute gap.

Dayao took the ball, took off, grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it hard into the basket! !

"frame!!"

69:81.

The connection between Lin Rui and Dayao became powerful again.

"Beautiful job!!"

"incredible!!"

"That's how you fuck him!"

"do not mention it!"

"I like to see this scene. The connection between Lin Rui and Dayao is amazing."

"It's the easiest for Dayao to play next to Lin Rui."

"The cooperation between the two is very tacit."

The cheers at the scene grew louder.

Dayao also gave Lin Rui a high five.

"The pass was good." Dayao praised.

"Haha, brother Yao is in a good position." Lin Rui smiled.

Dayao played very hard, he grabbed the offensive rebound inside, and then actively blocked the position, otherwise he would not have gotten this opportunity.

Magic offense.

Turkoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll come again.

After the pick-and-roll, Turkoglu strode in.

Tony Allen failed to defend, and Turkoglu's flying layup scored.

71:81.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Magic can always have someone to stand up and respond at critical moments, so as not to let the Knicks collapse in one breath."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the magic is still very tenacious, it depends on how long they can hold on."

Although the Magic's tactics can't keep up with the changes of the Knicks, they are in a good state. It is not so easy for the Knicks to easily widen the gap between the two teams.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dropped the tempo and dribbled to the frontcourt.

Dayao slowly got in place.

The Magic are unwilling to play fast, and with the Knicks having Yao, it is difficult to speed up the offense, so they can only switch to positional warfare.

Of course, as long as Lin Rui senses an opportunity, he will still turn to fast break.

Tucker came over to cover Lin Rui.

Although Tucker is short, his cover quality is very high.

Tucker took Nelson away by the way, leaving Lewis to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui misplaced and hit Lewis.

Lewis didn't dare to be careless, he opened his hands and looked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui didn't stop, but changed direction and rushed to Lewis' left side.

Lewis knew Lin Rui's breakthrough idea, but he couldn't keep up. Lin Rui used his explosive power to pass Lewis.

Lin Rui used speed to force Lewis, which was one of the regular ways Lin Rui used to beat big men.

At this time, Howard on the inside line was stuck by Dayao. Without any hesitation, Lin Rui grabbed the ball with one hand and took off into the air.

The basketball was smashed into the hoop! !

"frame!!"

71:83.

Lin Rui ravaged the Magic basket again.

"The inside defense that the Magic are proud of is nothing in front of Lin Rui."

"Lin Rui said to buckle it!!"

"Inhumane!!"

"The slam dunk champion is really domineering!!"

Lin Rui's dunk was brutal, and the entire basket was deformed by Lin Rui's oppression.

This is Lin Rui's unique talent. It is very easy for him to perform technical movements that are difficult for others.

Lewis was very helpless. Every time he met Lin Rui, his defensive confidence would be shattered.

Lewis felt that his defense might not be at the NBA level.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Lin Rui's dunk will further boost the morale of the Knicks. The atmosphere on the Magic side is a bit depressed. Howard can't stop Lin Rui from bombing the basket at all."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "Howard doesn't dare to stop Lin Rui's dunk easily now, otherwise he will be easily dunked. After all, he has tried it."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Hahaha, that's true. Lin Rui can block Howard. When he sees Lin Rui taking off, it's best to get out of the way first."

The game on the field still continues.

Magic offense.

Lewis's mentality was clearly affected.

After Howard attracted a pincer inside, he distributed the ball to Lewis in the bottom corner.

In the case of an open position, Lewis actually made a direct shot.

The rebound was directly controlled by Dayao.

Van Gundy shook his head helplessly, he felt that tonight's game was a little hanging again.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui pressed the rhythm to the front court, constantly passing the ball.

After a circle around the perimeter, the ball was in Dayao's hands.

Dayao held the ball and leaned against Howard with his back.

The biggest difference between the Knicks this season and the Knicks playoffs last season is that they have a point inside where they can hold the ball.

Dayao can hold the ball inside, which makes the Knicks' offensive position much more reliable.

Lin Rui used Tucker's back run to cut in from the outside.

Dayao gave the ball to Lin Rui, and Howard quickly adjusted his steps to help defend.

After receiving the ball, Lin Rui threw the ball to the right of the basket.

to whom?

Still give it to Dayao.

Dayao soared into the air, using both hands to catch the ball from Lin Rui.

The alley-oop dunk was successful! !

71 to 85.

Barkley said: "It can't be stopped, and the Magic can't stop the Knicks' offensive again."

Smith said: "Lin and Yao teamed up, and this combination made the Knicks' offense like a tide."

Barkley said: "Howard is defenseless inside!"

Smith said: "It's not that Dwight doesn't want to defend, but that he really can't defend."

Indeed, Howard was very tired on the court.

Whether it is Lin Rui or Dayao, they are attacking the inside, and Lewis' defense is too weak to help him. It is obviously too difficult for him to deal with two people at the same time.

Dayao and Lin Rui continued to high five.

The longer he worked with Lin Rui, the more Dayao felt that he had wasted a long time in the early stages of his career.

A top point guard is of great help to him, and the gap between Francis, Alstom, etc. that Dayao cooperated with Lin Rui is too great.

When he was in the Rockets, Dayao needed to take on very important tasks and responsibilities on both ends of the offense and defense. After coming to the Knicks, what Dayao did was to eat cakes and provide support. Lin Rui rarely asked him to go inside and constantly goug opponents.

This is good for his career extension.

The cheers of the Madison Garden Arena also continued to ring out. The fans liked Dayao and Lin Rui's partnership very much. The cooperation between the two looked pleasing to the eye.

The point difference between the two teams gradually widened.

Off the court, Van Gundy was a little anxious, and Nelson couldn't control the rhythm. He wanted to play Yao's characteristic that he couldn't go back.

Nelson played the ball very quickly and gave it to Barnes in the frontcourt.

Barnes passes the ball to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu changed direction and passed Korver, holding the ball and rushing to the inside for a layup.

When Turkoglu thought the ball was safe.

Lin Rui arrived at the last moment.

Lin Rui gave Turkoglu a block.

The rebound rebounded and was controlled by Tony Allen.

Lin Rui's wonderful defense once again aroused cheers from the scene, and the fans liked to see this scene.

Lin Rui's classic pursuit is no worse than James.

Knicks attack.

After Lin Rui dribbled to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Dayao who came out.

Dayao signaled his teammates to move, and then gave the ball to Korver.

Tucker made a screen for Korver, and Korver had a small gap.

Korver was not in a hurry. After he feinted a shot to attract the defense, he passed the ball across to Lin Rui who ran to the right corner.

Lin Rui made the preparations before catching the ball, catching the ball, jumping up, pulling the ball and shooting! !

The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shh!"

An arrow through the heart! ! !

71:88.

The cheers at the scene reached the maximum.

The fans shouted for Lin Rui's three-pointer.

Lin Rui waved to Korver.

Korver knew that he felt average, so he gave the opportunity directly to Lin Rui.

"pause!!"

The Magic panicked from top to bottom, and they could feel that the situation of this game was once again falling to the Knicks.

In the first half, the two teams seemed to be playing in a hurry. After the start of the second half, the two teams also went back and forth, but the point difference between the two teams was really widening.

Van Gundy never imagined that the situation would get out of control so quickly.

Fortunately, after returning from the timeout, the Magic improved their defensive strength. They replaced Lewis and replaced them with Bass.

The Magic's inside line has not been hammered again, and the Knicks' outside touch has declined a bit.

The Magic took the opportunity to recover some points.

After three quarters, the score of the two teams was 85 to 98.

The Knicks' lead was 13 points.

Such a lead also made the Knicks breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Weiping said: "From the perspective of the third quarter, the Knicks are still faster than the Magic in terms of tactical adaptation. Of course, the Magic's adjustment is not too slow. Their timeout played a key role, otherwise this game will be lost to the Knicks." It was easy to spend."

Xu Jicheng shouted: "The two teams know each other very well. The main reason is the gap in player status. The Knicks' hand feeling declined in the second half, which also gave the Magic some opportunities."

Zhang Weiping said: "Let's watch the last quarter of the game and see if the Magic can cause some trouble for the Knicks. If this continues, the Knicks will continue to win."

Seo Ji-sung yelled, "Magic now needs the X factor to stand up."

In the last quarter of the game, the two teams continued to compete in the core lineup, and neither team dared to care in the slightest.

Magic offense.

Howard singled Yao with the ball in the interior, but he was unsuccessful and hit the iron, but he grabbed an offensive rebound with a difficult second take-off.

Howard threw the ball again to Nelson on the outside.

Lin Rui was blocked by Lewis, and Nelson fired three shots at the top of the arc! !

"Shh!"

88:98.

Nelson has been targeted by Lin Rui for defense, and it is very difficult for him to find a chance to complete the shot.

Lin Rui's defense didn't have too many problems, and the Magic's screen was done really well this time.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui brought the ball to the top of the arc and initiated a screen with Dayao.

Dayao's cover was very solid, Lin Rui didn't burst into it immediately, but circled around Dayao's cover.

Both Howard and Nelson are besieging Lin Rui.

With the help of Dayao's generous back, Lin Rui found an opportunity, and he was domineering in the crowd.

Quick shot from beyond the three-point line! !

The basketball draws an arc! !

"Shh!"

88:101.

Lin Rui immediately responded to Nelson's three-pointer.

"Lin Rui responded when he said yes."

"Haha, this kind of shot under cover is too incomprehensible."

"Lin Rui has a strong revenge mentality."

"See how long the magic lasts."

Fans on the Internet continued to cheer for Lin Rui's response to the ball.

Magic offense.

Nelson wanted to use the screen to cast Lin Rui this time, but Lin Rui bypassed the screen.

Nelson was greatly disturbed, Nelson couldn't make a shot, and Nelson gave the ball to Howard.

Howard played against Dayao. Howard's movements were distorted, but the ball was rebounded and scored.

This is a lucky ball.

90:101.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Korver, and Korver lobbed the ball to Dayao.

"boom!"

With the help of Howard's strength, Dayao turned around and wiped the three-second zone under the basket.

Howard chased back, Dayao flicked up, staggering Howard's rhythm.

Dayao's one-handed dunk! !

90:103.

The continuous scoring of Dayao and Lin Rui ensured that the Knicks' offensive would not be cut off.

It is extremely difficult for the Magic to chase points.

Magic offense.

Turkoglu forced Korver on the right side, and he went up against Korver's defense.

Turkoglu draws a foul on Korver.

Turkoglu is going to the free throw line.

Korver raised his hands high to express his helplessness, which is always easily regarded by opponents as a breakthrough point.

Turkoglu made two free throws.

92:103.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui and Dayao's pick and roll, Lin Rui successfully broke through after the pick and roll.

Lin Rui broke through and made a fake shot, but then Lin Rui sent the ball to Korver in the bottom corner.

Korver has no defenders in front of him at this time.

Lin Rui took away the defense.

It's easy, aim carefully, and shoot a three-pointer!

Hand up and down! !

"Shhh!!"

92:106.

Korver also opened up.

The momentum of the Madison Garden Arena continued to rise.

If this fight continues, the second victory will come soon.

Magic offense.

Turkoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Turkoglu hit the ball to Howard.

Howard rushed up with the ball and directly attacked the basket.

Dayao didn't go up, and Howard, who rushed up like this, couldn't stop him.

Howard dunked his hands fiercely, venting his depression.

"frame!"

94:106.

Howard's pressure is increasing, and his emotional suppression is getting worse.

Knicks attack!

Lin Rui rushed inside with the help of Dayao's cover.

Lin Rui's impact was full, and Howard was a step slower when he wanted to defend, but Lin Rui made a blocking foul.

Lin Rui stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

94:108.

The situation of the two teams at the end of the quarter was the same as this period of time. The two sides competed repeatedly around the 10 to 14 point difference.

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 115 to 125.

The Knicks once again defeated the Magic at home and took a 2-0 lead in the series! !

The Magic team worked very hard to win, but there was a big gap and they couldn't win.

The Knicks have been in control of the situation on the court.

Magic has no chance!

As soon as the game was over, Dayao continued to celebrate the victory with his fists pumped.

Dayao is very happy, the feeling of continuous winning in the playoffs is something he has never enjoyed.

Dayao now feels that the decision to trade to the Knicks was a very correct choice.

Lin Rui was hugged by Dayao Lai.

As for the Magic, the whole team walked back to the locker room in a low voice.

They had to face the fact that the game fell behind 0-2.

Their next match will be a battle of life and death.

Game statistics.

魔术队：霍华德30分21篮板5封盖5犯规，特科格鲁20分11助攻6篮板，尼尔森9分5助攻，刘易斯12分。

The Magic's main general still has a good performance, but their defensive end did not hold the Knicks' offense.

The Knicks' stats are even more beautiful.

尼克斯：林锐45分11篮板17助攻4抢断3封盖，姚明24分10篮板4封盖，克劳福德14分，塔克6分，兰多夫16分7篮板。

Lin Rui and Dayao are still the core of the Knicks outside and inside, and both of them have full influence on the offensive and defensive ends.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Knicks played very well today. They continued the stability of the previous game, which made the Magic's adjustments not play their due role."

Xu Jicheng said: "There is a gap in the fundamental strength of the two teams, and this is something that can't be helped."

Zhang Weiping said: "I hope the Magic will play better when they return to home court in the next game and cause more trouble for the Knicks, so that this round of the series will be more exciting!"

Xu Jicheng said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. The Magic's cards have been exhausted, and the Knicks still seem to have no upper limit!!"

"The magic seems to be gone again."

"Are the Knicks going to sweep everyone this year?"

"The Knicks look like they're doing well."

"The cooperation between Lin Rui and Dayao is too incomprehensible."

"The Knicks have been so strong in the playoffs this season, they seem invincible."

"This is a 73-win team!"

"Is Lin Rui going to be crowned No.1 in the league?"

"Congratulations to the Knicks, congratulations to Lin Rui, congratulations to Dayao!"

Fans are bragging about Lin Rui and Dayao on the forum.

This year's Knicks playoffs made fans very happy to watch!

To win is to keep winning.

.......

At the post-match press conference.

Van Gundy told reporters: "Our defense can't hold their offense. This is a deadlock. They have too many offensive points. We are tired of defending. Our players have done a great job."

Van Gundy didn't blame the players, he felt the players had done a great job.

The reporter asked: "How will you adjust when you return to the home court?"

Van Gundy said: "We have to fight them with a desperate mentality. This is our only chance!!"

There was determination in Van Gundy's eyes.

Facing an opponent like the Knicks, he felt tremendous pressure.

The reporter then asked Howard how he felt against the Knicks.

Howard said: "They are the first team to dare to hit the inside like this. We are in a very difficult moment. I need the help of my teammates!!"

Howard has always been strong in the paint, and this is the first time he feels alone in the paint.

In this match between Lin Rui and Yao Ming, there were a lot of resolute inside shots, which made him feel powerless!

He can barely handle it alone, but when two people come together, he often can't stand it.

The reporters also felt very surprised, it is rare to force Howard to this point.

Howard sighed and said: "I always believe that we still have a chance. As long as we defend well, everything will turn around."

Knicks over there.

D'Antoni said to reporters: "I always remind my players to be humble and don't be careless. The result is great. We did it all. We put in defense every possession and we trusted each other on the offensive end. "

Lin Rui said: "I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the coach, and I also believe that we will win this round of the series in the end."

Yao Ming said: "It feels great to win in the playoffs, and I hope to keep winning like this."

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

Barkley faced the camera and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the Magic have no hope of making a comeback. Howard is restrained by Yao, and no one in the Magic can match up with Lin."

Smith said: "I also hold this point of view. If the Magic can't solve Lin Rui's point, they won't be able to make a comeback in the playoffs."

The two narrators also basically represent the views of the outside world.

The Knicks have more than just a big score advantage.

Judging from the performance of the two teams on the court, the Knicks have also been suppressing the Magic.

The Magic can't crack the Knicks lineup.

As long as the next third game is won, the Knicks' round will be stable again.

The entire Knicks team flew to Orlando on a team plane immediately after the game! !

Starting from the airport, Magic fans began to put pressure on the Knicks players.

Magic fans want to create some trouble for Knicks players! !

But the Knicks have adapted to these, and they have not been affected too much.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The G3 battle also kicked off amidst all the attention! !
