A different point guard path

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

The Knicks' record is terrible, losing 7 games in one season.

It is unprecedented to get 70+ for two consecutive seasons!

林锐在这个赛季也拿到了场均46.5分18.2助攻11篮板4.5抢断2.3封盖3.5失误的超级数据。

The average points, assists and steals per game have all set new highs in NBA history.

The total number of points, assists, and steals in a single season also broke the NBA's single-season records.

In terms of statistics, no one is more beautiful than Lin Rui.
Neither James nor Kobe can impact Lin Rui's status.

All of these are aware that the nvp is in a row.

Lin Rui is only 22 years old. This is his third season. Many rookies who are in the same period as Lin Rui are still in their growth stage!

They have been left far behind by Lin Rui.

Durant is excellent, and his scoring average ranks second, but there is still a long, long distance from Lin Rui.

.....

After the end of the regular season, the East and West record rankings are also out.

Top eight in the East: Knicks, Cavaliers, Magic, Eagles, Celtics, Heat, Bulls, Bucks.

Top eight in the West: Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Thunder.

There is a big difference in the record of the playoff teams between the East and the West.

The eighth-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference entered the playoffs with only 41 wins, while the eighth-ranked Thunder in the Western Conference won 50 wins.

This also reflects to a certain extent the overall situation that the west is strong and the east is weak.

However, in terms of top teams, the Knicks in the East beat the top teams in the West.

Immediately after the rankings came out, the media analyzed the various matchups.

The Knicks faced the Bucks in the first round.

...........

Entering the playoffs also means entering the brutal 7-game 4-win elimination system.

The playoff matchup between the Knicks and the Bucks attracted a lot of attention.

4 month 15 day.

The Bucks team arrived in New York, preparing for the playoffs.

The Knicks also started preparing for the game on this day.

As the team with the first record in the league, the Knicks have home court advantage over all teams.

The people of New York also used practical actions to show that they are ready for the playoffs.

New York's TV, radio, and social platforms are all signs supporting the Knicks.

The Knicks' telephone and online ticket sales were sold out within 5 minutes.

New Yorkers are not short of money. Even though the Knicks have the highest ticket prices in the nba, these tickets are still in short supply.

After the channels of telephone ticket sales and online ticket sales were closed, the queues for offline ticket sales were also full of long queues.

......

Although the Knicks are an upper zone team, the Bucks are not afraid.

The day before the game, after the Bucks finished training.

Bogut stood up and said: "Although they are very strong, I believe we can beat them. The playoffs are different from the regular season. Their inside is now a huge problem."

The Knicks often rested Dayao and Randolph at the end of the regular season, and indeed exposed many flaws on the inside.

This also makes the Bucks feel that their inside line will prevail.

Yao Ming and Lin Rui are the No. [-] picks, and so is Bogut.

Jennings also said: "We didn't think about giving up the game, I will try to beat them."

Reid also said: "We are not the same as before. I guarantee that when we enter the playoffs, everything will start again."

Indeed, before the game started, the Bucks still had hopes to play against the Knicks.

The Knicks team didn't make any verbal responses. They were basically studying tactics against the Bucks.

After the research, the Knicks also believed that although Reid's comeback in the late regular season improved their strength, it was not enough to pose a threat to the Knicks.

All the Knicks need to do is play their own rhythm normally.

4 month 17 day.

New York, Madison Gardens!

At 6:[-] in the evening, the place was full of fans.

The atmosphere at the scene was much warmer than during the regular season.

After the cool appearance ceremony, the game officially started.

The Knicks' starting lineup is: Lin Rui, Curry, Tucker, Randolph, Dayao.

The Knicks' injured people have recovered well from the continuous rest, and they are all ready for the playoffs.

The starting lineup for the Bucks is: Jennings, Reed, Delfino, Ilyasova, Bogut.

This is the best lineup the Bucks can make.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Bucks are also a team that has always been prone to injuries, but when their players recover from injuries, they will become extremely combative."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, if you look at the second half of the regular season, the Bucks are ranked in the top four in the Eastern Conference, so the Knicks can't be careless."

Zhang Weiping said: "Of course, no matter how luxurious the Bucks are, the Knicks are a 75-win team after all. They have an absolute psychological advantage over all teams."

Xu Jicheng said: "The goal of the Bucks in this round of the series is to win a game. The Knicks didn't lose a game in the playoffs last season."

Beep! !

With the referee's whistle.

Dayao and Bogut jumped up.

Dayao in his previous life is no longer in the NBA, but because of the change in his style of play and the long-term recuperation, his body still allows him to continue playing!

Last season's championship journey also allowed Dayao to taste the sweetness. Dayao has made too many efforts to prolong his career.

Dayao gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui hit the ball directly.

The overall rhythm of the Bucks players is slightly slower than that of the Knicks.

Lin Rui quickly took up his position and rushed past Reed's defense.

The Bucks' inside line hasn't returned yet.

Lin Rui stepped into the air, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand and slammed it towards the basket! !

"frame!"

0:2.

Blitz.

Lin Rui completed the attack in just 4 seconds!

"So fast!"

"Lin Rui is fast!!"

"fierce!!!"

"Fuck him!!"

The Bucks' defense looks like paper to Lin Rui.

Jennings and Reed were very depressed. Lin Rui's attack speed was too fast, and they couldn't keep up even if they wanted to.

Although Dayao and Randolph are present, the overall rhythm of the Knicks is very fast now.

Bucks attack.

Jennings dribbles upfield.

The overall rhythm of the Bucks is slightly slower.

Bogut came up to cover.

Lin Rui and Dayao switched defenses.

Dayao has lost weight, and after he lost weight, the range of defense assistance has expanded.

Jennings suddenly hit Dayao on the right and passed.

Jennings broke through and gave the ball to Ilyasova on the other side.

Ilyasova made a layup!

"boom!"

Randolph directly gave Ilyasova a confrontation.

Ilyasova's layup misses.

Randolph controlled the rebound.

Randolph continued to give the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took advantage of the trend and dribbled the ball with his back, and passed Reid who was following the defense again.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Curry after passing.

Curry passed the ball back to Lin Rui after two dribbles.

Lin Rui received the ball one meter away from the three-point line on the right.

Lin Rui catches the ball and ejects! !

The basketball draws an arc!

"Shh!"

0 to 5! !

Bucks attack.

Jennings continued to press the rhythm.

Bogut and Ilyasova went inside and kept getting stuck with Randolph and Dayao.

It's just that the Bucks' inside line is not at the same level as the Knicks' inside line, and it seems difficult for them to get stuck.

Jennings chose to give the ball to Reed.

Reid has fallen a lot compared to his personal peak state, and frequent injuries have caused him to sometimes be afraid to make moves.

Curry defended Reed, and Reed faced Curry with a change of direction, and Curry followed closely without losing his position.

Reid gave the ball to Delfino in the middle.

Delfino hit Tucker with the ball, and Tucker's defense was in place, directly resisting Delfino.

Delfino passed the ball back to Jennings, and Jennings faced Lin Rui.

The Bucks' offense was cut by the Knicks, and they could only do this kind of one-on-one.

This kind of one-on-one obviously couldn't break through the Knicks' defense. Jennings forced a three-step layup, but Lin Rui interfered.

Jennings' layup continued to miss.

The rebound was caught by Randolph.

Randolph gave the ball to Curry, and Curry took the ball across half court.

Curry does not have Lin Rui's crazy style of play. This is his first time playing in the playoffs, and his performance is relatively restrained.

Curry gave the ball to Lin Rui.

At this time, the Knicks' insiders are already in place.

Lin Rui lobbed the ball to Dayao.

Dayao hit Bogut in singles, and after hitting a step, he turned to the baseline and made a small hook.

"Shh!"

Soft to the touch!

Hook in precisely.

0 is better than 7

Dayao raised his arms and cheered! !

Fans at Madison Gardens also screamed.

Yao has not played many games this season, but he has always been one of the favorite stars of New York fans.

Dayao's personality and humor are very suitable for him to survive in the NBA.

Lin Rui also went over to give Dayao a high five to celebrate.

"Pause" Bucks coach Scott immediately called to stop the game.

The predicament at the beginning made him a little anxious.

Barkley said: "The situation of the game is controlled by the Knicks. Their start is very strong on both ends of the offense and defense. The Bucks have no good way to deal with this."

Smith said: "The Knicks have more experience in the playoffs, and they can quickly enter the rhythm of the playoffs. In comparison, the Bucks have not yet entered the game."

"Will the Knicks' full lineup have another 16-game winning streak?"

"The strength is obviously two grades higher, and the Bucks are having difficulty even scoring."

"Will the Bucks collapse in the first quarter?"

"possible!"

The fans are also full of confidence in the performance of the Knicks.

The Bucks' timeout was not intended to make tactical changes. Scott just emphasized that the players should slow down a little and interrupt the Knicks' offensive and defensive rhythm.

After the pause comes back.

The Bucks gave the ball to Ilyasova in the low post through a series of conduction balls.

Ilyasova didn't go inside to fight with Randolph, and directly made a two-point long-range shot from the high post on the right.

"Shh!"

2 is better than 7

Shots from this position are encouraged for the Knicks.

The Knicks will not allow the Bucks to easily enter the paint or shoot three-pointers, and this kind of long two-point relationship is not very important.

The Bucks' goal also made Scott a little relieved.

The Knicks continued to attack.

After Lin Rui dribbled to the top of the arc, Randolph came up with a pick-and-roll.

Jennings is blocked and Ilyasova comes up.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball with a low hand on the left side and leaned against Ilyasova to go inside.

Although Ilyasova is a power forward, his style is soft.

Reed decisively rushed over from the other side to pinch Lin Rui. Lin Rui keenly observed Reed's loss of position, and Lin Rui threw the ball towards Curry with one hand.

The price of Reed's flanking Lin Rui was to give Curry a gap.

Curry caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

Basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Shh!"

2:10.

Curry hit his first three-pointer of the playoffs.

"Don't let that guy go." Scott expressed deep doubts about Reid's choice.

Curry used the regular season to prove that he is a qualified shooter, and Lin Rui is the league's assist leader, which is giving them points.

Bucks attack.

Reid took advantage of Bogut's screen to make a shot from the mid-range position.

The ball was slightly delayed by Curry, leaving Reed with a small gap.

Reed firmly grasped 4 to 10.

...

...

The game quickly progressed to 6 minutes and 33 seconds, and the Knicks called to stop the game.

At this time the score was 10 to 17, and the Knicks had the advantage.

D'Antoni started to rotate, Curry was replaced by Tony Allen, Dayao was also replaced by Danny Green, and the Knicks began to play small lineups.

Curry has been targeted at this point. Although Curry performed well on the offensive end, he was still not good on the defensive end. He failed to keep up with the rhythm in time.

The Bucks have not yet rotated.

Knicks offense.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Danny Green.

Lin Rui began to run without the ball.

Tucker and Randolph covered Lin Rui successively.

Reed and Bogut chased them out one after another. Lin Rui is now the Bucks' first defensive point. The Bucks are very afraid of Lin Rui. They were afraid of being beaten by Lin Rui during the regular season.

Danny Green gave the ball to Tony Allen, Tony Allen gave the ball to Lin Rui, passed it.

Facing Bogut, Lin Rui rushed directly to the right without even changing direction.

Although Bogut's defense is very good, he can't stop Lin Rui's first step.

After Lin Rui stepped in, Ilyasova assisted in the defense, and Lin Rui scored the ball in the confrontation.

10 to 19,

Lin Rui continued to score higher.

Compared with the regular season in the playoffs, the possession of the ball is more concentrated and the tactical status is higher.

Bucks offense.

Bogut desperately wanted the ball inside, and after a series of transmissions, Reid gave the ball to Bogut.

Bogut stormed Randolph inside.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Offense is not Bogut's forte, he can't beat Randolph.

Randolph's toughness far exceeds his appearance.

Bogut gave the ball to Jennings on the outside. Jennings made a quick change of direction in the face of Lin Rui's defense. After barely getting a shot, Jennings shot quickly.

"frame!"

The basketball hit the rim hard.

The rebound was firmly controlled by Randolph.

Zhang Weiping said: "Jennings can't do anything against Lin Rui's defense. He has already missed 4 shots, and his offense is completely restricted."

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui is very likely to continue to be the best defensive player. His deterrent power on the defensive end is obvious to all."
