A different point guard path

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

Indeed, before the series even started, Howard's rhetoric became a joke.

He wanted to be the best defensive player, but every time he was pulled out by Lin Rui to practice alone, almost every time was humiliated! !

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the score between the two sides was 40 to 37.

The Knicks still have a 3-point advantage in the away game.

The Knicks' high scoring is mainly due to the high efficiency of attacking the inside. They can basically gain something in every round, and Lin Rui's three-pointer feeling has been found later, so scoring is easy.

The Magic is in a great state, and the whole team feels good. Even if the inside is slightly restrained, they still rely on shooting to bite the Knicks.

林锐单节拿到18分7助攻6篮板2抢断2封盖的数据。

Lin Rui is still the key winner for the Knicks.

D'Antoni expressed satisfaction with the Knicks' lead in the first quarter.

After all, today's magic shot is a bit against the sky.

It is difficult to lead the Knicks with such a shot, which shows that the gap between the Magic and the Knicks is still very large. If their touch declines next, it will not be too difficult for the Knicks to win.

"Lin Rui's performance is still as stable as a dog!"

"It's so handsome and in control of the overall situation."

"Every attack of the Knicks seems to be inseparable from Lin Rui."

"The Knicks' defense still needs to be better."

Domestic fans watching the game kept commenting.

Knicks bench.

D'Antoni praised the whole team. Everyone worked hard in this game and did not slack off because it was an away game.

After the praise, D'Antoni also emphasized defense: "The outside line can be saved as much as possible. Their shots are very good. Forcing them to make breakthroughs will benefit us in the next game."

Lin Rui nodded, he approved D'Antoni's words.

The second quarter started quickly.

Lin Rui was not on the court, and Crawford and Randolph led the team.

It's just that the Knicks' second lineup is far less efficient than the starting lineup, and the Magic's second lineup still continues their good touch.

The Magic's second team quickly overtook the score.

At 7 minutes and 22 seconds into the game, the score was 45 to 50.

The Magic led by 5 points, and the Knicks replaced Lin Rui after calling a timeout.

The two teams are basically facing each other in the starting lineup.

Knicks offense.

Lin Rui pushed forward with the ball, and the other Knicks players tried their best to open up space for Lin Rui.

After Lin Rui came to the frontcourt, neither Randolph nor Dayao asked for the ball.

The many low-post offenses played by the second team just now did not work well, and the rhythm needs to be changed a little.

The Magic continued to use Barnes to counter Lin Rui, and Barnes continued to hit Lin Rui with his body, preventing Lin Rui from easily organizing.

Today's whistle is also very biased towards Magic, which seems to be affected by home factors.

Seeing the delay in blowing the whistle, Lin Rui didn't complain. Instead, Randolph, who gave the ball out, handed over the transition and went straight to singles.

Pull empty on the right.

Lin Rui faced Barnes and began to dribble.

Lin Rui's dribble was very wide, and Barnes tried to steal the ball.

Lin Rui didn't hesitate, and immediately put his hands on the giant swing to ask for three points! !

This is a very obvious foul! !

"Beep!!"

The referee blew his whistle.

No matter how biased the home team is, the referee has to blow.

After being fouled, Barnes said directly to Lin Rui, "Don't use dirty methods!"

Lin Rui shot back: "You are a piece of trash!"

Barnes didn't have any ink marks, and came directly towards Lin Rui.

The conflict did not arise, and Dayao and Randolph separated the two of them.

Tony Allen also went directly to face to face with Barnes.

The Knicks have long doubled down on things like this.

Tony Allen cursed at Barnes.

The referee also intervened in time. Instead of calling a technical foul, he just gave a warning.

The fans booed.

Under the urging of the referee, Lin Rui stood on the free throw line.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

48:50.

Lin Rui made all three free throws despite the huge boos from the scene.

Magic offense.

Nelson passes the ball to Lewis.

Randolph was a little tired in the pick-and-roll between Lewis and Howard, and he didn't follow up in time.

Lewis made another mid-range jumper from the right.

"Shh!"

48:52.

The Magic are too accurate on the perimeter today, almost as long as there is an open spot, which makes the Knicks very uncomfortable.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui went to the line to hold the ball, and Dayao came out to cover.

With the help of cover, Lin Rui moved laterally to the right to break through.

Dayao went down to attract the attention of the defense, and Lin Rui changed direction to complete the breakthrough.

Lin Rui made a breakthrough, pretended to pass the ball to Dayao, and faked a layup with a fax.

The Magic's defense was fooled, and Lin Rui's layup was easy.

50:52.

Magic attack again.

Nelson dribbles upfield and picks and rolls with Howard.

After the pick-and-roll, Nelson chose to make a breakthrough with his own move.

Nelson also wants to use his good touch to continue scoring goals.

It's just that Nelson didn't expect Lin Rui to bypass the cover to chase.

"Snapped!"

Lin Rui gave him a clean block behind Nelson.

The trajectory of the basketball shifted, and Dayao got the rebound.

Dayao gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and pushed forward.

The Magic's defense is very deep, and they are no longer close to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui didn't feel the pressure at the LOGO position, and then he collected the ball and pushed quickly! !

Barnes was too late to interfere.

Basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shhh!!"

53:52.

Overtake directly! ! !

Lin Rui held up three fingers and wobbled back to the half court.

Fans at the Amway Center felt flustered once again.

This is the reason why the Magic feels unstable no matter how many points they lead. Every time Lin Rui appears on the stage, the Magic will fall into a very passive position.

The Knicks always overtake the score easily.

"Lin Rui 6666!!"

"Awesome!!"

"The three-point show is here again."

"Lin Rui's touch has been found."

"Magic is in big trouble."

Knicks fans cheered.

After this round, it wasn't just Lin Rui's touch that opened up.

Lin Rui also inspired other Knicks players to find their shooting sense.

The Knicks responded every time, despite the Magic's touch.

The two sides are going back and forth to each other! !

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the score was fixed at 74 to 73.

The Knicks lead away by 1 points.

Lin Rui scored 32 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in the first half.

A halftime triple-double is nothing to Lin Rui.

Generally, Lin Rui's good data also means that the team needs him to work very hard on the offensive end.

It can also be seen from the score that it was not easy for the Knicks to play in this away game.

in the locker room.

D'Antoni didn't criticize the team too much on the defensive end in the first half.

The Knicks have done well enough on the court. After all, the Magic are not a weak team. When they feel good, no one can guard against them.

What the Knicks need to ensure now is that they cannot lose power, and their offense must continue.

Magic over there.

Van Gundy yelled at the Magic players' defense very angrily: "Faster your steps, fight more!"

"Don't give them a chance, we have no way out."

Van Gundy's words also represent the heavy pressure inside the Magic players.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Lin Rui's long-range shooting began to decline, but fortunately Randolph and Dayao stood up in time.

The Magic quickly overtook the score, but did not establish a clear advantage.

The body collisions between the two sides increased in this section, and the emotions on both sides became more and more high.

The boos of the fans also continued.

Lin Rui, Howard, Dayao, and Turkoglu all fell to the ground and fought a floor ball.

Both teams are playing this ball as if it is the last game.

The scoring efficiency of both sides has also dropped a lot compared to the first half.

After three quarters, the two teams tied 98-98.

At the end of the decisive battle, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and no one could widen the gap.

Zhang Weiping sighed: "The Magic played at the level they should have. Their first two games were too easy."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, this is the playoffs we are looking forward to. It is also the first time that the Magic have pushed the Knicks to this point in the playoffs."

Zhang Weiping said: "This game may go to the last moment, let's see the final contest between the two teams."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the Magic are very close to beating the Knicks."

Lin Rui didn't score too many points in the second half, mainly because he was making wedding dresses for his teammates.

But before he knew it, Lin Rui's assists reached 20.

Even if he doesn't score much, Lin Rui can still affect the game.

The time came to the last 1 minute and 57 seconds, and the score was 121 to 124.

The Magic led by three points at home.

The Knicks' offense, Lin Rui dribbled to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui commanded tactically.

Barnes is still entwining Lin Rui.

Lin Rui followed Dayao who came out and played hand-to-hand for cover.

Lin Rui faced Howard again.

Facing Howard, Lin Rui decided to conduct military training.

Continuous rhythm changes adjust Howard's body.

Very easily, Lin Rui took a big step back on the right side.

Howard noticed Lin Rui's retreat, and he followed.

Lin Rui faced Howard with a jumper three-pointer.

The ball seemed to be in place for Howard, but both Lin Rui and Howard knew that the ball didn't interfere too much.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc! !

"Shh!"

Arrow through the heart.

124:124.

The scores of the two teams were tied again.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were stopped again.

"Lin Rui's key shot."

"A player with a big heart."

"Hits against Howard's defense."

"It's bukkake!!!"

"Awesome, awesome!!"

"The key is to tie!!"

Fans continued to comment.

Howard looked at Lin Rui helplessly. Every time Lin Rui faced him, he could throw the ball in, which made him ugly.

He tried his best to defend every time, but it seemed that his efforts had little to do with his defensive success.

"Don't worry, don't panic!" Van Gundy shouted at Turkoglu.

Magic lacks attack points at critical moments, which is their flaw.

Turkoglu's organizational skills are good, but it is too difficult to attack at critical moments.

Magic's baseline serve.

Turkoglu received the ball and Lin Rui went to lead the defense.

Lin Rui's defense makes Turkoglu's personal offense less of a concern

Turkoglu gives the ball to Nelson.

With the help of Lewis' pick-and-roll, Nelson broke through for a layup.

Dayao's defense was like covering the sky and blocking the sun, directly intercepting the ball.

The rebound was caught by Randolph, but Randolph was cut by Lewis under the basket.

After Lewis got the ball, he gave it to Barnes who cut in on the other side.

Barnes scored a layup.

124:126.

The Magic regained the lead.

The magic's rebound rush is very important. At their home court, each of them fights desperately.

Lin Rui also felt very sorry, this ball is too pity.

"The Magic team played very tough this round, and they grabbed the advantage."

"Let's see how the Knicks play next, and see if Lin Rui can score another key goal."

The Knicks didn't stop the game.

Lin Rui continued to control the rhythm.

With time running out, the Magic took the initiative.

It was still Barnes who defended Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's scoring dropped in the second half, and Van Gundy felt that Barnes defended well.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Korver too much, and then went to receive a hand-off pass.

Barnes bypassed the screen and continued to stare at Lin Rui.

Barnes kept interfering with Lin Rui, he wanted to prevent Lin Rui's key shot.

Lin Rui was not in a hurry, but observed while dribbling.

The Magic's defensive focus is obviously on Lin Rui's side.

Lin Rui adjusted his footsteps, and then charged to the left of Barnes.

Barnes moved laterally, and Lin Rui quickly changed direction to the right and broke out again.

Lin Rui took his position and directly broke Barnes' defense.

It was Lewis who helped defend Lin Rui, but Lewis's start was slow. After Lin Rui fought against Lewis, he collected the ball and continued to pass him.

Howard was waiting at the basket, Lin Rui was fearless and soared into the air.

Howard raised his hands straight. He didn't foul, he just wanted to interfere.

Howard's defense was perfect, but Lin Rui's jump height exceeded his imagination.

Lin Rui grabbed the basketball with one hand and smashed it into the basket! !

"frame!!"

126:126.

Howard was also knocked to the ground by Lin Rui! !

At the critical moment, Lin Rui dunked Howard again.

"Damn it, Lin Rui's breakthrough tore through the line of defense."

"When Lin Rui was about to score, no one could stop him."

"There were two consecutive dunks on Howard, this key shot was too fierce."

"Just do it like this, don't be cowardly!!"

The fans on the Internet are in contrast to the quiet fans at the scene.

The fans in the Amway Center Arena looked at this scene in disbelief, and the fans covered their mouths.

Lin Rui's style of play is too domineering, as if there is a domineering aura of killing gods when meeting gods, and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas! !

Zhang Weiping excitedly said: "Detain him, just detain him like this, don't be polite!!"

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Lin Rui once again succeeded in a key attack, and the two teams once again returned to the same starting line."

Magic offense.

The Knicks also changed their defensive strategy and pressed directly to 131.

It's just that Nelson is very experienced. Lin Rui tried to steal the ball but failed. Nelson began to control the time after changing directions and dribbling through the frontcourt.

Lin Rui also quickly switched defenses with Korver at this time, and continued to defend Turkoglu himself.

Lin Rui believes that the Magic's offense will still be launched by Turkoglu.

As Lin Rui guessed, Nelson did not launch an attack.

Nelson passes the ball to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu started the pick-and-roll with Howard with the ball on the right.

After the pick-and-roll, Dayao switched on Turkoglu.

Turkoglu wanted to single out Dayao, but Dayao's body was too generous, and Turkoglu's dribbling rhythm was wrong, so he couldn't pass Dayao.

Seeing the dislocation between Howard and Lin Rui, Turkoglu passed the ball directly.

After Howard took the ball, he hit Lin Rui directly.

"boom!"

Lin Rui didn't head-on, but fell to the ground directly! !

Offensive foul! !

"Beep!"

The referee whistled Howard's dribbling posture.

"OMG!!"

Some Magic fans put their heads in their hands.

This situation is not good for the Magic.

Van Gundy immediately signaled to the referee that it was a blocking foul.

Howard also held the ball and looked at the referee in disbelief.

Dayao and Randolph came over to pull Lin Rui up.

Lin Rui leaned over and panted.

Confronting Howard directly made it difficult for Lin Rui.

Fortunately, playing basketball is not only a matter of strength, but also of brains.

The dispute between Van Gundy and Howard is destined to have no effect.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui predicted Dwight's offensive action while defending, which dug a trap for him, and Dwight jumped into it without thinking."

Smith said: "The Magic lacks a ball-handler at critical moments. Howard's ball-handling at critical moments is not trustworthy. The defensive team is too easy to judge how he wants to attack."

Barkley said: "Turkoglu's organizational skills are great, but it will be difficult for his personal offense to encounter high-intensity critical moments, which also hinders the further improvement of the Magic."

Smith said: "Yes, let's see how the Magic works this summer? Dwight is at his best age. If he is eliminated, he will consider whether to renew his contract with the Magic."

30 seconds left.

Knicks offensive.

D'Antoni chose to be on the safe side and stopped the game.

This was also to give Lin Rui, who had just been knocked down by Howard, a little time to rest.

"Lin Rui's defensive awareness is great."

"Howard is knocked down!"

"The key ball gap between the Magic and the Knicks is not so big."

"Tonight is the closest the Magic have come to winning, but it's a pity they lack Kobe!"

"If the Magic loses, it will be too aggrieved."

The hearts of fans in the Amway Center Arena are as serious as a mountain.

Knicks bench.

D'Antoni arranged tactics: "Yao, Zach, you two put up the pick-and-roll at the same time. After the pick-and-roll, you must immediately go down to grab the rebound or respond to Lin's point."

"Lin, we are taking the initiative now. I don't emphasize whether to score two or three points. You use the scoring method you are most sure of."

"OK!"

"no problem!"

The key ball arrangement at the critical moment is undoubtedly for Lin Rui.

Lin Rui is not only the scoring leader, but also a well-known key player in the league.

The Knicks are emphasizing the offense of key balls, while the Magic are on defense.

Van Gundy made a rotation, replacing Pietrus with Nelson, to get the Magic's average height up.

Fans in the Amway Center arena cheered again, hoping that the team can defend this round of offense.

After the timeout ended, Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Because there is plenty of time to attack, Lin Rui didn't consider pressing the time to avoid being passive.

Dayao stepped forward to cover Lin Rui.

The reason why Lin Rui and Dayao's screen is very lethal is that Lin Rui is an all-around offensive player, and that Dayao has a mid-range shot.

If Dayao pulls out to shoot, opponents must guard against him.

With the help of cover, Lin Rui escaped from the pincer attack of Barnes and Pietrus.

Lin Rui rushed in, and Howard was still guarding the interior.

This time Howard did not sit still, but took off with all his strength, and stretched out his hand to press the ball in Lin Rui's hand.

Lin Rui grabbed the ball with one hand and confronted Howard with his body.

Lin Rui grabbed the ball and dodged around, avoiding Howard's block in the air.

Howard is gone.

Lin Rui also fell, and at this time Lin Rui pulled the lever to the limit and shot! !

"knock!"

"Shh!"

The basketball bounced and fell into the hoop! !

128 is better than 126

9 seconds time! !

The Knicks overtook the score! !

"Oh oh oh!!"

"Extremely good waist!!"

"It's awesome!!"

"This can be entered!!"

"Lin Rui is really asking for it from Howard like crazy!!"

The fans watching the game were stunned. This was the first time they saw a player who could jump like this.

Lin Rui showed the strength of his waist and abdomen to the extreme in the air.

Normal people can't make such crazy moves.

In the Amway Center Arena, many people covered their mouths and watched the replay.

It all looked unbelievable.

Zhang Weiping of CCTV was also very excited: "Lore, quasi-lore, Lin Rui did it, Lin Rui used the cover to break through again, and faced Howard with a difficult layup and scored the ball. This is an extreme operation , Extremely good waist!!"

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Lin Rui's ball showed his physical talent, the difficulty of this layup is not something ordinary superstars can do!!"

Zhang Weiping shouted: "There is not much time left for the Magic. If the Magic can't score another key goal this time, then they may lose next."

Xu Jicheng said: "If they lose the game, the Magic will fall behind 0 to 3. They have no hope of coming back."

pause! !

The Magic stopped the game again.

"what!!!"

Randolph and Dayao came over and hugged Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's limit show operation is too awesome.

Watching the ball again and again on the big screen, the fans felt very desperate.

Knicks bench.

D'Antoni emphasized: "If Turkoglu wants to play singles, then let Lin deal with it. If they want to hang the ball inside, then Zach and Yao will deal with it!"

"Don't shoot outside three-pointers, and don't let them play two plus one, and foul more hard."

D'Antoni shouted against the hustle and bustle of the scene.

Except for the critical moments in this game, the Magic performed very well on the perimeter at other moments, so there must be no carelessness!

After the pause comes back.

Magic offense.

Nelson is back on the field.

Nelson wanted to attack right away, but the Knicks' defense was tight.

Defensive holes Korver is not on the court, Nelson continued to give the ball to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu was tightly entangled by Lin Rui, and he had no chance to make a move.

Howard came up to cover.

Lin Rui was stuck, but Dayao quickly filled his position.

Turkoglu didn't give it to Howard, he felt that Howard couldn't beat Lin Rui.

But on the other side, Tony Allen and Yao Ming formed a pincer attack on Turkoglu.

Turkoglu gives the ball to Barnes.

Time is running out, Barnes dribbles and rushes in! !

Barnes saw a straight line, and he wanted to go straight to the layup.

but! !

At the last moment of layup! !

A figure appeared! !

"Snapped!!"

Lin Rui directly slapped the ball out! !

"Om!!!!"

The moment the basketball touches the floor out of bounds! !

The sound representing the end of time sounded.

3:0.

The Knicks won again! !

Magic is cornered! !
