A different point guard path

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

Before the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides widened.

The Hornets don't seem to have much resistance.

"Hey, Paul is not Lin Rui's opponent at all, no matter in terms of personal scoring or influence on the team."

"As soon as Stephen Curry came on, Lin Rui's outside pressure almost disappeared."

"Lin Rui probably doesn't like Paul holding the ball. He comes to play shooting guard."

"To be honest, the Knicks really don't need Paul at this stage. They have won 32 consecutive playoff games, and few teams can beat them in the regular season."

"The Hornets' defense wants to target Lin Rui, but it really can't."

"The Knicks' offense is too strong, and the Hornets can't defend it once."

On the sidelines, after Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, Monty Williams called to stop the game again.

Monty Williams yelled, the Hornets' defense was terrible, and their attention was very inattentive.

If this continues, the Hornets are very likely to usher in a disastrous defeat.

On the Knicks side, D'Antoni is integrated with the players.

They haven't had such a good start in a while.

Pause ends.

The Knicks feel a little bit down, of course, they are also providing a high-intensity defense, the Hornets' offense is not easy to score.

The time for both sides will soon be the rotation time.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Hornets' rhythm is too slow. Paul always likes to hold the ball in his hands and observe it all the time. When he observes, the Knicks' defense is all in place."

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui and Curry started earlier tonight, and the Hornets' defense doesn't have many good ways for them."

Zhang Weiping said: "Paul had some misplaced offensive singles, but these offenses were not enough to put pressure on Lin Rui. He needs to do better."

Xu Jicheng said: "This is a bit embarrassing for Paul. Paul is a point guard. Although he has a strong scoring ability, it will be very difficult to face Lin Ruiqiang."

rotation time.

D'Antoni signaled Lin Rui and Curry to stay on the court.

Curry originally led the second team, and Lin Rui stayed on the court to relieve Curry, who had just returned from injury, from so much pressure.

Lin Rui, Curry, Tony Allen, Danny Green, Whiteside.

The Knicks sent a large and four small lineups.

For the Hornets, Paul continued to lead the team, and the other four were Belinelli, Ariza, Jason Smith, and Okafor.

The Hornets took two big men and wanted to see if there was a good opportunity inside.

With 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, the score was 16-30.

Soon the game started again.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Ariza came up to defend Lin Rui.

Paul has no confidence in defense.

As long as it is a single defense, Lin Rui doesn't care who is defending.

After his teammates opened up the space, Lin Rui made a change to the right of Ariza, and instantly broke through.

Okafor and Jason Smith on the inside flanked Lin Rui.

Lin Rui threw the ball high up.

Whiteside lightly grabbed the basketball with one hand and pressed it into the hoop.

16:32.

Whiteside and Lin Rui often have this kind of connection cooperation.

The move of the two is already very proficient.

"Beautiful pass." Whiteside went to high-five Lin Rui.

Whiteside felt lucky to partner with Lin Rui after entering the league.

Lin Rui's passing will put him in the most comfortable offensive position and will not make him a little bit embarrassed.

This ball is very comfortable to play.

Hornets offense.

Paul dribbles forward quickly.

Paul was facing Lin Rui's high-pressure defense. He knew that there was no chance outside, so he chose to give the ball to Jason Smith inside.

Jason Smith is facing Danny Green, who has a clear advantage in height and weight.

But the Knicks' defense isn't about allowing the smaller man to defend the big man alone.

The moment Tony Allen released the ball from Jason Smith, he immediately pinched and cut the ball.

One top, one cut.

Jason Smith didn't control the ball, he fumbled it.

The dropped ball was caught by Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took the ball and quickly pushed back.

Paul interfered with Lin Rui's dribble, and he wanted to sabotage the counterattack.

But Lin Rui was very flexible, and he passed Paul with a clever behind-the-back dribble.

Lin Rui hit the inside line, Ariza's back defense was in place, Lin Rui gave Ariza a confrontation, and easily put the basket.

16:34.

After Lin Rui rushed up, it became a luxury for the Hornets to prevent him.

Lin Rui retreated easily.

The fans at the scene also screamed loudly, they like to see Lin Rui's counterattack.

Hornets attack.

Paul dribbles upfield.

Paul signaled Okafor to put on the pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Whiteside quickly came out to defend.

Facing Whiteside's continuous change of direction, Paul found that Whiteside's second take-off was very fast after a sudden step staggered the rhythm, which greatly interfered with him.

Paul smashed the ball in the air to Okafor inside.

Okafor leaned against Lin Rui, made a quick turn and was about to make a layup.

Lin Rui didn't lose his balance, but jumped up on the spot, and when the basketball was still rising, he slapped the ball directly.

This ball is like a volleyball smash!

"Whoa whoa!!"

"Beautiful work!!"

"nice shot!!!"

Lin Rui's defense boosted the morale of the Knicks.

The Hornets' offense came again, and the attack time was only 5 seconds. In the end, Paul made a hasty shot one meter away from the three-point line.

"frame!"

The ball bounced off the rim.

"Wow, Lin Rui once again blocked the center forward."

"Okafor can't avoid Lin Rui's defensive coverage."

"Lin Rui's defense is so cool, he put tremendous pressure on the opponent's offense."

"Just defend like that, don't give your opponent hope."

"Continue to widen the gap and kill them in the first quarter."

Danny Green took the rebound.

Danny Green to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui quickly gave the ball to Curry in the frontcourt.

Facing Ariza's defense, Curry didn't stop, and after a high-speed change of direction, he stretched the stick for a counter-basket! !

The basketball bounces and falls into the hoop.

16:36.

The Knicks continued to display their terrifying offensive power.

Lin Rui also gave Curry a thumbs up.

Curry's offensive rhythm has improved very quickly, which makes it very difficult for the Hornets to defend.

Curry is also very excited. In this case, he counterattacks one by one, and his success rate is very high.

Hornets attack again.

Okafor's morale was a little low.

Paul has always wanted to play inside, but the inside offense is very weak.

Paul passes the ball to Ariza on the right.

Ariza dribbles in after struggling against Tony Allen.

Ariza's flying layup!

"boom!"

Whiteside also contributed a wonderful block, directly blocking the offense.

The rebound was controlled by Curry this time.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Curry immediately pushed back.

Lin Rui had already rushed to the other side.

Curry gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui changed direction at high speed and passed Smith, then stepped on the three-point line and took off in three steps, kicking the ground into the air.

Fold dunk! ! !

"frame!!"

16:38.

Off the court, Monty Williams was about to bleed.

The Knicks opened up such a big difference in the first quarter, how to play next?

Monty Williams started his playing career with the Knicks.

In the first round of 1994, he was selected 24th by the New York Knicks.

In his 9-year NBA career, he has played for the Knicks, Spurs, Nuggets, Magic and 76ers. In 2003, he was forced to announce his retirement due to a knee injury.

After Monty Williams retired, he joined the Trail Blazers coaching staff in 2005, learning from Nate McMillan as an assistant coach for the Trail Blazers.

In 2010, he coached the New Orleans Hornets.

This season will be his second season coaching the Hornets. Williams has a total coaching record of 67 wins and 81 losses in the Hornets, with a winning percentage of 45.3%.

The Knicks that Monty Williams joined as a player were not as strong as they are now.

The Knicks have also gotten rid of their previous belly image in recent seasons, which puts a lot of pressure on Monty Williams.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the score was fixed at 20 to 44.

The Knicks led the Hornets by 24 points in a single quarter, completely suppressing the Hornets to play.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui showed his leadership ability in this quarter. He has completely driven the team's offensive and defensive capabilities. The Hornets can't stand it anymore."

Smith said: "Curry's improvement for the Knicks is another level. He has further stimulated the Knicks' offensive firepower. With him and Lin Rui in the backcourt, there is really nothing like Chris Paul."

Barkley said: "Both are combo guards, both are willing to share the ball, and the overall rhythm of the Knicks is also very good."

Smith said: "No one will dislike this atmosphere, and Lin Rui obviously does not want to break this balance. After all, for them, it is not them who are anxious to change, but the opponents."

After watching the first quarter, fans of other teams who wanted to compete for the championship were silent. Currently, no team in the NBA has the same offensive power as the Knicks.

The Knicks' offense is too strong.

The second quarter also started soon. Curry went down to rest, and Lin Rui continued to lead the team on the court.

D'Antoni felt that Lin Rui was not tired in the first quarter.

Indeed, in a game where everyone is happy to share the ball, the physical exertion is minimal.

On the Hornets side, Paul went down and was replaced by backup point guard Jack.

Jack is 191 tall, which is the standard height of a point guard.

His personal skills are very street-style, with various fancy disguised dribbles, unconventional jump shots, and unexpected passes.

He also has enough experience and basketball iq to command the offense of the academy team. He is very experienced in fast break and position, and passes the ball accurately and timely.

In terms of offensive characteristics, the medium and long-range shooting is very reliable, the rebounding ability, especially the offensive rebounding is very outstanding, the body is very strong, and can complete technical moves under high confrontation, but the defensive end sometimes loses concentration on the court and makes more personal mistakes .

Jack also has a hidden attribute, that is, the team he is in is prone to injuries to the starting point guard, and he often becomes the starting point guard by hitting him.

Jack was obviously not used to Lin Rui's high-pressure defense. Lin Rui dropped the racket in his hand as he dribbled forward.

Lin Rui hit the ball very hard, and after speeding up to get rid of it, he caught up with the ball.

"one comes!"

"Show one!!"

"come on! Come on!!"

The fans at the scene shouted for Lin Rui to perform a dunk.

Lin Rui heard the voices of the fans, and he smiled.

Lin Rui rushed into the three-point line, stepped on the free throw line, and kicked off into the air! !

Lin Rui kept moving his hands, switching from his left crotch to his right, grabbing the ball with one hand and stretching his body.

Fly buckle! !

"frame!!"

20 is better than 46

Actual combat at the free throw line, change hands and dunk! ! !

With ease, with ease.

Lin Rui showed off his excellent physical fitness.

This is also one of the most exciting dunks in actual combat.

"Flying dunk from the crotch at the free throw line!"

"Lin Rui did even better than Michael."

"Is this a preview of the slam dunk contest?"

The audience looked up at the replay, the goal was too overbearing.

The Knicks' bench players also staggered together.

They all knew that Lin Rui could easily do this kind of dunk during training, but driven by the atmosphere of the scene, they couldn't help but make trouble again.

On the Hornets bench, Paul's face was dark.

This is a game that frustrates him.

Zhang Weiping said: "Lin Rui once again showed a dunk that is enough to become the top five goals of the season. This dunk perfectly shows Lin Rui's current talent."

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui still has spare energy!"

On the court, the Hornets' offense came again.

Jack dribbles upfield.

Ariza cuts in on the diagonal to attract the defense.

Jack gave the ball to Thornton on the right, and Thornton dribbled the ball and made a sudden stop in the middle distance.

"Shh!"

Precision hit.

22:46.

The Hornets' scoring is not completely cut off, and they can score goals occasionally.

Knicks offense

Lin Rui initiated a pick-and-roll with Whiteside. After the pick-and-roll, Lin Rui faced Okafor's defense.

Whiteside's ability to attack independently was not good enough, so Lin Rui decisively launched an attack by himself.

Lin Rui accelerated to Okafor on the right.

Okafor retreated step by step, but still did not block, Lin Rui rushed in three steps for a layup.

The layup was strong, but Lin Rui quickly took off for the second time and tapped the ball in.

22:48.

"Lin Rui is rebounding."

"Haha, if the first attack fails, then the second attack will come."

"The Hornets are just a playoff team, they can't go further."

"They have absolutely no hope of going to the Knicks."

"The Knicks were too aggressive."

The fans shouted.

Hornets offense.

Jack dribbles upfield.

Jack made an emergency stop jumper after Okafor's screen.

"frame!"

This ball gave Lin Rui some interference.

Jack's shot hit the rim hard and popped out.

The rebound was picked up by Whiteside.

Whiteside gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and rushed forward at high speed.

Lin Rui rushed directly from the right side of Jack.

Ariza slowed Lin Rui, and Lin Rui threw the ball to Danny Green who followed up from the outside.

Danny Green was left short.

Danny Green took aim for a while and then made a three-pointer.

The ball swished around and came out.

When many people were feeling sorry for Danny Green's three-pointer, Lin Rui flew out from behind Okafor, grabbed the rolling basketball with both hands, and smashed it in! !

"frame!!"

Lin Rui completed the supplementary deduction.

22 is better than 50

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

When Okafor stood up to pick up the ball and serve, Whiteside accidentally touched the ball.

Okafor didn't get the ball, and he felt like he was being played.

Okafor directly pushed Whiteside away.

Although Whiteside is a rookie, his good temper is only reserved for his teammates, and he immediately pushed Okafor back.

Okafor was pushed and staggered.

Lin Rui was nearby, and Jack wanted to go over to attack Whiteside, but Lin Rui stopped him with a rung with both hands.

Jack wanted to throw a punch, but it seemed that Lin Rui gave up immediately.

Jack knew that Lin Rui could not be messed with, as his fighting power was beyond his ability to bear.

"Beep beep!!"

It happened so quickly that the referee was a little overwhelmed.

The conflict between the two sides is imminent.

"Fuck, come for a beating," Whiteside yelled.

"Come on!!" Okafor also shouted.

The players confronted each other quickly, and other players on the field also pulled the conflicting players away.

The fans booed one after another.

"Don't be lenient, beat him to death!" Lin Rui also cursed and returned to the bench.

The Hornets players watched the point difference getting bigger and bigger, and they couldn't hold back their actions.

Lin Rui was going to leave a deep impression on them.

The referee took the initiative to request a timeout, and they went back to watch the video.

Soon, Lin Rui, Jack, Whiteside, and Okafor each received a technical foul.

The two teams looked full of momentum, but in the end there was nothing too bad.

Zhang Weiping said: "The referee still showed mercy. Of course, this also has something to do with Lin Rui not being involved in the center of the conflict."

Xu Jicheng said: "Okafor's actions shouldn't be done, and Whiteside didn't do it on purpose."

"It's been a long time since I saw Lin Rui make a move."

"Anyone want to watch Lin Rui fight?"

"If Lin Rui makes a move, the whole Hornets team will have to get down."

"Haha, Jack's expression is so exciting, he wanted to throw a punch, but seeing that it was Lin Rui, he held back."

"You can't hold back, you can't beat it."

.....

After the fermentation of time, Lin Rui's fighting videos in the previous seasons were also frantically reprinted and spread.

Among the fans, Lin Rui is obviously the number one fight king in the league.

Lin Rui's many fight videos have also become highlights, and fans often review them when discussing the number one fighter in history.

Even Lin Rui's reputation for fighting fiercely is greater than his reputation for three-pointers and dunks.

Lin Rui didn't expect this kind of thing to spread so fast.

The Hornets' move really angered the Knicks.

Even with a lead of so many points, they still don't plan to show mercy.

After the timeout, Monty Williams took Paul and West again to see if there is any hope of chasing the score.

There is no hope for a reversal, I just hope that the loss will not be so ugly.

Hornets offense.

Paul dribbles forward.

Paul is still playing with a sense of rhythm, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fall behind by so many points.

Paul directed the transfer of the ball to Thornton, and Thornton gave the ball to West inside.

West singles Tucker inside.

"boom!"

"boom!"

West has an absolute height advantage. After two hits in singles, he chose to turn over to the middle distance.

Tucker didn't interfere.

West's cricketing scored.

Knicks attack.

Curry is also back at this time.

Curry carries the ball across half court.

Curry gave the ball to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui faced Thornton's defense.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lin Rui started to change direction to dribble.

Curry felt good today, which made the Knicks dare not easily pinch Lin Rui.

Lin Rui played against Thornton very easily.

Thornton swayed with Lin Rui's rhythmic swing.

Lin Rui took a step to the right to confront Thornton, then widened the gap with him, and quickly retreated to the outside of the three-point line.

Thornton was not completely shaken away, he made a timely defense and came over.

Lin Rui made a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Shh!"

24:53.

The difference is still that big.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Knicks continue to use the main force, the Hornets will be very uncomfortable, let's see, what will happen next?"

Xu Jicheng said: "The Hornets still can't stop the Knicks' offense, and their outside height is still too short."

Hornets attack.

Paul still frequently mobilizes and dribbles on the outside.

Unlike the Knicks who can score easily, the Hornets' offense is obviously more difficult.

After a series of conduction balls, the opportunity still appeared here for West.

West relied on hitting Tucker, and Tucker held the center of gravity tightly to prevent West from going further.

When West was still about to turn over and shoot a jumper, Tucker quickly blocked the past.

This time West's shot was not so comfortable, and Tucker completed the interference.

"frame!"

The basketball hit the rim and bounced high.

Lin Rui rushed in and grabbed the rebound.

Knicks offense.

Lin Rui advanced tactically.

Lin Rui's attack just now made the Hornets' defensive attention focus on him again.

Lin Rui didn't stick to the ball all the time. After a dribble, he threw the ball to Tucker in the corner.

The Hornets' defense no longer poses too much threat to Tucker, and Tucker is in a gap to catch the ball.

Tucker glanced a little.

"Shh!"

Three-pointer from the bottom corner, raise the knife and drop it! ! !

24:56.

The point difference is 30, but the Knicks' defensive strength is still improving.

After the screen, creating a dislocation, Paul singles Whiteside.

After continuous shaking, Paul broke through to the emergency stop at the mid-range position and pulled up.

Whiteside still rushed to block the ball.

Just "snap!"

Whiteside's block hit Paul.

Paul gets to the free throw line.

"frame!"

Paul, who is usually very stable, missed a free throw.

The second penalty, after Paul adjusted.

"Shh!"

The goal was scored.

25:56.

Knicks attack.

The wasp was still breathing up and down.

Lin Rui is at the logo position, a behind-the-back dribble adjustment!

After simply shaking Paul away, he quickly made a super long three-pointer.

This shot is unreasonable! ! !

But just go in! ! ! !

25:59.

Lin Rui swiped three fingers to celebrate the playback.

The fans at the scene raised the momentum again.

Zhang Weiping said: "It's a massacre, it's a one-sided massacre!"

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui seems to want to convey something to the outside world."

On the court, the Hornets' offense failed again.

Paul and West's pick-and-roll attack, Paul hit the ground to West.

West's mid-range jumper was interfered by Lin Rui who switched defenses.

This is a long rebound.

Lin Rui threw the ball directly to Curry! !

Curry made an easy layup from the frontcourt and scored the ball.

25:61.

The point difference between the two teams is still widening.

Hornets fans never imagined that the Hornets in the first quarter were miserable enough, and the Hornets in the second quarter were even worse! ! !

Indeed, the Knicks continued to suppress the game in the second quarter.

The halftime was over quickly.

The score was 34-78.

The Knicks led by 44 points, and the Knicks only allowed the Hornets to score 14 points in the second quarter!

Lin Rui scored 35 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds in the first half, and Curry scored 15 points!

The Knicks' outside firepower is unobstructed! ! !
