A different point guard path

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

The statistics of Lin Rui and James seem to be similar, but the impact of the two on the team is very different.

The simplest thing is the big score now, with the Knicks leading 3-0.

No matter how tortuous the process is, the Knicks will win in the end.

This round of the series also came to the same situation as the previous two rounds.

James consumes far more on the court than Lin Rui. Facing the care of Tony Allen, Danny Green, Tucker, and Lin Rui in turn, he needs to consume a lot of physical energy to score.

For players of his level and Lin Rui's level, scoring is not difficult, it just depends on whether the consumption is high.

James' consumption is obviously very huge. After the game, his whole body is close to cramp.

James played in this game was tired and depressed. He felt that he didn't have as good teammates as Lin Rui, which led to the final failure.

James is now desperate to find a helper!

If there is no helper, there will be no need to fight in future encounters.

The Knicks celebrated their return to the locker room.

Knicks fans far away in China are also very happy.

"I hope Lin Rui won't get hurt."

"The Knicks are really strong, and they are going to sweep again."

"If you sweep in two seasons, you will be truly invincible."

"Knicks Championship!"

"The ball James was knocked down by Lin Rui is the most classic."

"Brilliant!!"

"The Knicks feel stronger than last year."

"The way other teams are playing looks so backward compared to the Knicks."

"Switching offense, ultra-long three-pointers, youth storm, the Knicks are a team that truly integrates offense and defense."

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

At the post-match press conference.

Coach Brown is still emphasizing the problem of defense: "We didn't defend hard enough, and everyone is still taking chances. This is not the correct attitude towards the game. We need to figure it out. What we are facing now may be the worst game in NBA history. One of the dominant teams."

Like Rivers, Coach Brown has also suffered a crisis of confidence.

It is said that if this round of the series encounters a sweep, then Coach Brown will also dismiss get out of class!

Coach Brown himself is also very helpless, but he can't change the situation too much. The James he has always been proud of doesn't work anymore.

The previous James was a panacea. Even if he lost one or two games, he could quickly adjust back.

But now there is no sign of adjustment. You know, the next game will be the fourth game. If you lose again, you will be swept away.

This kind of Cavaliers seems to be not much different from the Knicks' opponents in the first two rounds.

Compared to Coach Brown's emphasis on meaningless chicken soup, James said directly: "We need to have a second and third scoring point to stand out. They are constantly scoring. Their efficiency is very high. This is what we lack. .”

James almost said that I have tried my best, but I can't move you if you don't work hard.

A New York reporter suddenly asked: "LeBron, will you stay in Cleveland in the summer?"

Unlike expressing loyalty in the past, James hesitated and said: "I will consider this issue after the playoffs."

The New York reporter then asked: "OK, now the series is almost over, can you tell me about your decision?"

0 to 3 behind, which is equivalent to an early end.

To put it bluntly is a kind of heartbreak for James! !

James said: "I will not answer this question, you will not easily know my choice."

The reporter then asked: "What were you thinking when you were knocked down by Lin Rui?"

James said: "I'm trying to defend, I don't think about anything."

James hates reporters now, and he doesn't want to be pushed to this point by others.

The reporter interviewed O'Neill and asked why the series came to this point.

O'Neill shook his head and said: "I don't know, the times are different, this also makes me understand, I should rest, I will retire after this season."

There are many sources that O'Neal will retire after the end of this season. O'Neal's remarks are not surprising.

For O'Neal, his career is bright enough!

Knicks here.

The reporter asked D'Antoni: "Coach, what do you think is the biggest difficulty encountered in this round of the series?"

The Knicks seem to be going too smoothly, and they have basically encountered no setbacks. As the number of victories continues to increase, D'Antoni's status has also risen.

D'Antoni said: "When Lin was injured, it was the most difficult time for us. At that moment, I felt that we were all gone. Fortunately, he was fine, thank God."

D'Antoni did experience a thrilling mood tonight.

If Lin Rui is injured, the Knicks may fall at the last moment of this season. Even if they can pass the Cavaliers, it will be difficult to beat their opponents in the finals.

The reporter asked: "How is Lin's sprain, does he need to rest?"

D'Antoni said: "We will let him go for an inspection later, and the specific situation may not be known until later."

Although Lin Rui performed very well on the field, the team doctor still asked Lin Rui to take a film for the sake of caution.

If necessary, D'Antoni may let Lin Rui rest in the next game.

After all, for the Knicks, nothing is more important than Lin Rui's health.

Indeed, after working in the locker room for a while, Lin Rui went to take a film accompanied by the staff and the team doctor.

The whole team was worried about whether Lin Rui's ankle was fine. Although it seemed fine at the time, there were too many cases of problems after the game.

Of course, the test results came out soon, and Lin Rui was fine.

A day later, g4 quickly went to war.

"This is our battle of honor!!" Coach Brown shouted in the locker room.

"Kill them!"

"Win!!"

Cavaliers players are also interested in cooperating with the head coach.

On the surface, everyone is unwilling to give up the game, but James knows very well that in private, many people are starting to prepare for off-season vacations.

There are even many players whose contracts have expired and have already begun to discuss where they will stay next season.

Except for James himself, others don't have that desire for a championship. For them, the money and vacation are in place.

James needs a championship to prove his status, and they don't.

Even for O'Neal, he has 4 championships in hand, and he doesn't care much about whether he can win the 5th championship.

O'Neal's historical status has basically become a foregone conclusion. Even if he wins the fifth crown at most, he will laugh at Kobe, and then it will not have much effect.

O'Neal was still playing funny in the locker room, and James was also joking with O'Neal, but he couldn't laugh in his heart.

Knicks over there.

Under Lin Rui's signal, the players all formed a circle!

"Win tonight's game and enter the finals!!"

"finals!"

"finals!"

"finals!"

The Knicks team is in full swing! !

Continuous winning can bring the morale of everyone on the team together.

The mentality of the Knicks team is also becoming more and more positive, which also makes them more and more confident!

Lin Rui also enjoyed the emotion of the game.

soon.

All processes are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Knicks starters: Lin Rui, Curry, Tucker, Randolph, Dayao.

Cavaliers starting: Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, James, Jamison, O'Neal.

West was suspended for one game for stepping on Lin Rui, and his suspension made the situation facing the Cavaliers even worse.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Cavaliers haven't changed too much. They seem to be stretched in terms of personnel in the face of the Knicks."

Xu Jicheng said: "The Cavaliers still have a lot of players who can play, but at this level there are very few players who will not fall behind. Director Zhang, how do you think the Cavaliers will strengthen next season?"

Zhang Weiping said: "The Cavaliers should first settle the issue of James' contract extension. If James stays in the Cavaliers, they still have hope, but if James leaves, it is meaningless to talk about all this."

James may leave the Cavaliers, this topic has been discussed by the media since the last game.

After all, if you add this season, James will get nothing for three consecutive seasons.

Since being swept by the Spurs after reaching the Finals, he has never returned to the Finals.

Everyone automatically assumed that those three seasons should have been his championship seasons, but they didn't.

Lin Rui's sudden appearance stopped James in front of him. No matter how hard James tried, James could no longer break through the East.

The Chosen One seems to have changed from James to Lin Rui.

The g4 game started soon.

O'Neal and Dayao took off at the same time.

Dayao gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Without hesitation, Lin Rui attacked directly.

Lin Rui's explosion accelerated quickly, and James wanted to stop Lin Rui.

Lin Rui leaned on James and turned around sharply to pass him.

Lin Rui rushed into the three-point line, Jamison's assisted defense, Lin Rui changed from the right to the left at high speed, occupying the position, collecting the ball and taking three steps to carry Jamison for a layup and score the ball.

2:0.

Lin Rui's attack in the first round was very domineering.

The Cavaliers' defense was directly penetrated.

Zhang Weiping said: "Dayao's ball was beautifully dialed, which directly gave Lin Rui the opportunity to attack. Lin Rui's speed was very fast, and after consecutive passes, he immediately ended the ball."

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui played too easily, and the Cavaliers' defense did not cause him any trouble."

Zhang Weiping said: "We have also noticed that more and more Knicks fans are coming to the scene. The fans are expecting the Knicks to win tonight's game and become the champion of the Eastern Conference."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the Knicks do not have the habit of bringing the game back to their home court. If they can win it, they will still do their best to win it."

In the commentator's chat, the Cavaliers also launched an offense.

James initiates a pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

After the pick-and-roll, Tucker and Dayao switched defenses, James broke through Dayao's line of defense, and vacated the right side with his tomahawk for a dunk! ! !

"frame!"

2:2.

At home, it is impossible to admit defeat, and James will continue to risk his life.

Fans in the Quicken Loans Center arena quickly screamed.

James' style of play is still domineering.

After completing the dunk, James growled vigorously at the camera.

James is venting to his heart's content! !

"Dayao's footsteps are slower than last year. Although he is constantly losing weight, he can still see the decline."

"There is news that Dayao may retire after finishing the World Championships. I don't know if it is true."

"For this year's World Championships in Turkey, it is said that many superstars of the US team will not play, but let the second team train."

"The second team of the United States is also very fierce."

"Many players are rushing like this now, and Dayao can't keep up."

The fans are talking about it.

Lin Rui is also very clear that Dayao's condition has indeed declined a bit, but this is inevitable.

In his previous life, Dayao was almost unable to play this season, and he will retire this year.

It would be nice to be able to extend some of his career now.

It won't be a big problem for Dayao to play for two more years, but there is no way to keep his state at the peak.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Curry ran from the right to a 45-degree position obliquely, and Lin Rui passed the ball.

Curry did not shoot the ball immediately after catching the ball, but broke through after a feint.

Lin Rui continued to move on the outside.

Tucker came out to help Lin Rui cover, Anthony Parker who was chasing Lin Rui was delayed, and Lin Rui ran to the right corner to catch the ball.

Curry scored the ball to Lin Rui at high speed.

Lin Rui catches the ball and shoots, and the basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shh!"

Three-point precision drill frame! !

5:2.

Lin Rui waved at Curry.

Barkley said: "The Knicks' outside three-point shooting ability is the most exaggerated existence in the league. The number and way of their hits are amazing enough."

Smith said: "Indeed, they are unique. Their three-pointers swept the opponent like a tsunami!"

Barkley said with a smile: "Give them a nickname, the Tsunami Group."

"That's a good proposition," Smith said.

Knights attack.

Mo Williams dribbles forward to Jamison in the low post.

Jamison plays Randolph with the ball.

Randolph was unmoved by the tentative step in front of the frame.

Jamison dribbled the ball on the right side and forced a jumper with a one-step lateral move.

Randolph gave some distraction.

Jamison's shot is a little out of shape.

This ball is not sticky.

But James rushed in from the perimeter.

Directly received the three non-sticks in the air and made a tip-up and scored the ball.

5 is better than 4

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui used Dayao's cover to make a breakthrough.

Lin Rui was pulled by Anthony Park during the breakthrough.

The referee called a foul.

Re-tee.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and was directly entangled by Mo Williams.

During the entanglement, Mo Williams fouled.

Serve again.

The Cavaliers' strategy for Lin Rui's game is very clear, which is to use fouls to stop Lin Rui.

Lin Rui didn't catch the ball this time, and Curry went to catch it.

Curry gave the ball to Yao.

Dayao confronted O'Neal in the paint.

After a series of impacts, he turned around and made a small hook to the bottom line.

Shows a soft touch.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

7:4.
