A different point guard path

At the beginning of the game, Lin Rui's multiple statistics were among the best in the league.

Lin Rui has such confidence.

After the press conference, Lin Rui returned to the hotel and began to review the video.

This is Lin Rui's habit. No matter how big the lead is, he will attach great importance to every playoff game.

The day of the G4 game.

Fans have no doubts about whether the Knicks can enter the Eastern Conference Finals. They just want to see if the Knicks will sweep the Magic.

Before the game, Turkoglu said to reporters: "We will not give up. All of us are working hard. If the record has a chance to change, we must be the ones who can do it."

Nelson said: "We will try our best to win tonight's game."

Howard said: "The whole world already thinks we have been eliminated, but we will not be discouraged!!"

The Magic are indeed at the best time in recent years, and they are full of tenacity.

Even in the face of the desperate situation of falling behind 0 to 3, they still did not give up easily.

"Magic players have really hard mouths."

"Not yet admit defeat!"

"One thing to say, the Magic is indeed a strong team, but the Knicks are stronger."

"The Magic need to strengthen their key ball ability, otherwise they will not be able to compete with the Knicks at critical moments."

"Although Howard looks miserable, no one can break his defense well except Lin Rui."

"Magic is glorious in defeat."

..........

Amway Center Arena.

7 points.

The G4 battle begins.

The arena here is still full.

When Lin Rui came out, he was booed by the audience.

"According to the news ahead, Zach Randolph missed this game due to injury."

"We don't know exactly what the situation is."

"This is good news for the Magic. Randolph contributed a lot of inside singles in the first three games, which caused a lot of trouble for the Magic."

"However, the Knicks have sufficient inside reserves. On the bench, they still have enough height."

The narrator is reporting the latest situation.

Indeed, Randolph was a little uncomfortable, but nothing serious, D'Antoni just chose to be conservative and let him rest.

Even without Randolph, the Knicks still have enough inside height, which is D'Antoni's confidence.

Randolph cheered on his teammates in a suit in the crowd behind the bench.

The Knicks start here: Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Korver, Tucker, Dayao.

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

The Magic performed a personnel rotation at the 2nd position.

Dayao and Howard's jump ball.

Finally, Dayao won by jumping the ball this time.

Dayao gave the ball to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball across the half.

As soon as Lin Rui took the ball, boos rang out again.

The fans really hope that Lin Rui can play abnormally, so that the pressure on the Magic will not be so great.

Lin Rui was not worried when he heard the boos. He understood that it was because the fans were afraid of him. If he was an unknown little character, how could the fans care about him so much.

On the contrary, Lin Rui really wanted to defeat his opponent amid such boos, so that the fans couldn't vent their emotions.

After Lin Rui dribbles to the frontcourt, he conducts the ball.

Although the tactics will be completely centered around Lin Rui, Lin Rui will not attack by himself from the beginning.

Lin Rui will constantly transfer the ball to help his teammates improve their enthusiasm.

After guiding the ball for two laps, it continued into Lin Rui's hands.

Pietrus' single defense.

The Magic now encourage Lin Rui to play singles, and they adopt the same defensive strategy as the previous game.

In the last game, they thought that their defense had reached the extreme.

Lin Rui also understood the Magic's defensive intentions.

Since he was defending him one-on-one, he was impolite.

Pietrus is taller than Lin Rui, but his speed and reaction are far behind Lin Rui.

Lin Rui made two sharp changes in front of his body.

"boom!"

Lin Rui's change of direction is very large, and his fake moves are also very realistic. Pietrus has worked hard in defense, and he wants to prevent Lin Rui's breakthrough.

But unfortunately, Lin Rui still broke through the past.

Pietrus hurriedly chased back, and Lin Rui kicked the ground and took a horizontal step to bounce outside the three-point line.

Pietrus still wants to follow.

but!

"boom!"

Pietrus' ankles didn't allow him, so he put his hands on the ground.

Lin Rui didn't hesitate after receiving the ball beyond the three-point line, and quickly shot a jumper.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shhh!!"

3 to 0,

After Lin Rui scored a goal, he put his index finger near his mouth, signaling all the fans to stop their voices.

The momentum at the scene also slipped slightly, but quickly rebounded again.

The fans hated Lin Rui's provocative actions, and expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.

Lin Rui continued to laugh after hearing the louder boos.

Pietrus stood up and looked at Lin Rui speechlessly. From the beginning to the end, Lin Rui never looked at him directly.

"Lin Rui's swaying is really good, he has been swaying all the magic tricks."

"It's hard to limit Lin Rui one-on-one."

"Today Lin Rui didn't pass the ball in the first round, but chose to play resolutely by himself."

"The players who were knocked down by Lin Rui should be able to form a team to grab the championship."

Most of the fans watching TV supported the Knicks.

Lin Rui showed good outside touch at the beginning of this game.

"Don't think too much, keep working hard to defend." Howard encouraged Pietrus.

As a man who has been humiliated many times by Lin Rui, Howard is giving psychological counseling to his younger brother.

Pietrus nodded firmly. Van Gundy let him start because he was not satisfied with Barnes' defense and wanted him to try defending Lin Rui. This was an opportunity for him, and he needed to seize it.

Magic offense.

Nelson brought the ball to the frontcourt and organized it to conduct in circles.

The Knicks' defense is also on the line, with no loss of position.

Turkoglu lobbed the ball to Lewis in the low post, wanting Lewis to use his height to eat Tucker.

Lewis catches the ball in the low post and leans on his back.

Tucker is really too short to play power forward, so Lewis, who is not good at posting up, wants to post up and single him.

It's just that Lewis obviously thought of it simply.

Lewis made continuous back impacts, and Tucker's body position did not move back at all.

Tucker is much harder to play than Lewis imagined.

Lewis can only distribute the ball to Turkoglu.

Turkoglu took a step to face Tony Allen's defense and stopped in the middle distance.

Turkoglu is taller, and Tony Allen did his best to interfere with the ball, but it was still short.

The basketball went smoothly.

"frame!"

"frame!"

"Shh!"

The basketball bounced twice on the rim and bounced into it.

2:3.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui didn't play singles this round, and initiated a pick-and-roll with Dayao.

After the pick-and-roll, Howard switches defenses with Pietrus.

Lin Rui didn't hit Howard, but lobbed the ball to Dayao.

Dayao directly knocked Pietrus away, grabbed the ball with one hand and pressed the frame for a dunk! !

"frame!"

2 is better than 5

If Howard is not inside, Dayao will be very relaxed.

Magic offense.

Turkoglu initiates a pick-and-roll with Howard.

After the pick-and-roll, Dayao also jumped out to guard Turkoglu.

Turkoglu hit the ground to help Howard take off.

Howard took three steps with the ball, and Tony Allen was knocked away.

"frame!!"

4:5.

The Magic quickly responded to the Knicks, almost in the same way.

The cheers of the fans at the scene immediately rose.

The Magic's response was tough.

But the cheers of the fans did not last long, and the Knicks' offensive came again.

The Knicks' offense is still Lin Rui facing Pietrus.

Pietrus confronted Lin Rui and did not give Lin Rui a comfortable dribbling opportunity.

Lin Rui transferred the ball to Tucker at the free throw line.

Tucker didn't attack by himself, but waited for Lin Rui to pass the ball after he ran over, and then gave Lin Rui a cover.

Pietrus was blocked, Lewis assisted in the defense, Lin Rui made a fake move to point Lewis up.

The low-handed dribble took advantage of the situation and rushed in.

Howard's defense slowed down, and Lin Rui succeeded in an easy pull-up layup.

4:7.

Zhang Weiping said: "Lin Rui led the Knicks' offensive, and their state is obviously better than the previous game."

Xu Jicheng said: "This is not a good thing for the Magic. Lin Rui's offense feels a little bit about to come out."

Magic offense.

Turkoglu continued to launch the pick-and-roll with Howard.

This time Tony Allen did not switch defenses with Dayao.

As a result of not switching defenses, Howard gets the space and Turkoglu passes to Howard.

Howard rushed straight up, and Dayao raised his hands to defend.

"boom!"

"Beep!"

"frame!"

5 is better than 7

Howard blocked Dayao's dunk, and then there was an additional penalty.

Howard really played with his life. In the first three games, he ran away from Dayao whenever he could. Today, he chose to fight head-on.

Howard gets to the free throw line.

"frame!"

Lin Rui missed the free throw and went in to control the rebound.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui quickly dribbled the ball to the front court, and Dayao continued to cover Lin Rui.

But this time the cover was unsuccessful, and the defense remained the same.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen took a step in and returned to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui received the ball and immediately sprinted past Pietrus, and Lin Rui hit the inside line.

Lin Rui didn't just look at the basket, he kept observing his teammates' positions while he was on the move.

Lin Rui saw Tucker in the bottom corner.

Tucker was emptied by Lewis.

Lin Rui passed the ball to Tucker.

Tucker made a decisive shot from the bottom corner.

Hand up and down! !

"Shhh!!"

5:10.

Although the Magic's offense is constantly scoring, the Knicks still widen the lead.

Van Gundy frowned on the sidelines, Lin Rui's points were fatal to the Magic every time.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui's overall view is very good, he can always find open teammates in the first time."

Smith said: "Yes, he is very familiar with the sweet spots of every teammate and will put them in a very comfortable shooting rhythm."
