A different point guard path

With 34 points in the half, the Hornets didn't know when they scored so low last time.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "The Hornets will not be able to score if they are defended by the Knicks. Their offense is too limited."

Xu Jicheng said: "It would be a very scary thing for the Knicks to increase their defensive strength. The Hornets didn't score many sports goals in this quarter."

Zhang Weiping said: "Lin Rui's halftime statistics are still so impressive. After this season, he will average a triple-double again."

Xu Jicheng said: "Since Lin Rui has achieved an average triple-double in the season many times, the probability of other NBA stars getting a triple-double has also increased."

As the two commentators said, the triple-double data is a bit cheap.

In the past, scoring a triple-double can make headlines, but now this triple-double still needs a high score to have a chance.

Lin Rui's daily games are mainly triple-doubles.

Just like tonight, no one thought that Lin Rui would miss a triple-double.

in the locker room.

The Knicks team is very relaxed here, leading by 44 points at halftime, and they rarely get such an advantage.

Lin Rui stood up and said proactively, "Guys, we are going to avenge Hassan tonight and impress them."

Whiteside spread his hands: "Boss, if you want to abuse Chris, don't use me as an excuse."

"Hahaha!"

"Lin, we understand what you mean."

"Win them 60 points tonight and impress them."

"Guys, be bold, win 44 points in the first half, and if we win the same amount in the second half, we will win by 88 points."

"Don't go too far."

The Knicks locker room was buzzing.

On the Hornets side, the whole team is in a cold state.

The 44-point deficit means that the next game is meaningless, and no team in NBA history has been able to complete such a big reversal.

Moreover, the reason why the opponent was able to win so many points in the first half was also due to the fundamental strength gap between the two teams.

It is impossible to close these gaps in one half.

Paul didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.

Not only was his offensive efficiency mediocre in the first half, but his teammates were also fighting alone.

No way, Paul's pass requires him to create an offensive threat and attract defensive attention.

And the Knicks can limit Paul with Lin Rui's single defense. Paul has no threat at all, and his pass naturally doesn't have much power.

After resting for two 10 minutes.

In the third quarter, the two teams are still the main players.

There is still a lot of game time, even if the point difference is such that the core players of the two teams still have to play for a while.

The Knicks attacked first.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to observe the change of the Hornets' defensive formation.

The Hornets players are very tenacious. Even though they are so far behind, at least on the surface they still can't see the meaning of relaxation.

Curry runs to the right.

Lin Rui greeted Gasol Jr. to put on the pick-and-roll.

Paul was blocked, and West and Okafor helped defend Lin Rui at the same time.

Lin Rui lowered his hand and changed direction, bursting through the gap between the two.

Their pincer attack ended in failure directly.

Lin Rui stepped up and took off, grabbing the ball with one hand and hacking a tomahawk!

"frame!!"

Lin Rui completed the three sideways dunks in succession.

34:80.

"Hehe, there is a good show to watch, Lin Rui is not polite."

"It is estimated that the media angered him, and he is going to kill the Hornets."

"I'm also here to provoke Lin Rui. Lin Rui's scoring ability is not good."

"Upstairs think this can force Lin Rui to score 100+?"

"Lin Rui's score depends on whether he wants to..."

Fans on the Internet are screaming.

The fans at the scene were also cheering. Although there was no suspense about the outcome, it was a sense of happiness to see Lin Rui on the field.

Lin Rui's score is the focus of great attention of fans, and the fans hope that Lin Rui's personal data can continue to rise like this.

Some fans who support Paul's coming to the Knicks hope that Paul will respond.

It would be too embarrassing for Paul to be beaten all the time.

After Lin Rui completed the tomahawk dunk, he simply roared a few words, and then quickly returned to defense.

Hornets attack.

Paul dribbled forward, and Lin Rui continued to press forward.

Lin Rui put a lot of pressure on him, and Paul frequently turned around and dribbled across the half court.

After Paul went to the frontcourt, he quickly gave the ball to Ariza on the right.

Ariza grounds the ball to West.

West wants to single Randolph, but Randolph's weight is there, he can only shoot, and it is very difficult to break through.

West's shooting touch in the first half was so-so, and he finally chose to pass the ball to Okafor.

It's just that just as Okafor used the ball, Gasol Jr. cut the ball on one side.

"Snapped!"

Gasol cut the ball successfully.

Curry gets the ball.

Lin Rui accelerated directly on the other side, and Curry threw the ball forward.

Paul wanted to pull Lin Rui's clothes, but he couldn't. He looked helplessly at Lin Rui getting farther and farther away from him.

Ariza has been chasing Lin Rui, trying to stop Lin Rui's fast break.

It's just that Lin Rui attacked very resolutely this time. After he rushed to the basket at high speed, he stopped to confront Ariza.

"boom!"

Ariza was bounced directly.

In the confrontation zone, there is no problem of offensive fouls.

Lin Rui adjusted his steps, jumped up on the spot, and smashed the buckle with one hand! !

"frame!!"

"For two consecutive dunks, Lin Rui is going to tear the Hornet's face off."

"They are also point guards. In such a comparison, the gap between Paul and Lin Rui is too far."

"Don't say that Paul is compared with Lin Rui, other players are the same, this guy is the current god of basketball, Your Majesty!"

"Worship!!"

34:82.

"Lin, good shot." D'Antoni applauded Lin Rui.

D'Antoni also doesn't welcome Paul to the Knicks.

Is there Lin Rui not fragrant?

Lin Rui has a good temper, and he knows how to respect people when discussing anything with him.

If you exchange for a Paul, isn't this just making yourself guilty?

Then the results may not be better than now.

For a player like Paul, if he wants to be traded, it will definitely destroy the team's existing chemistry, which is something D'Antoni doesn't want to see.

In the past few seasons with the Knicks, D'Antoni fully realized it.

To play his small ball tactics, you must have a super point guard like Lin Rui, who can handle both offense and defense.

Although Paul is good, he is still not qualified to play the Knicks point guard.

D'Antoni has already sat down and chatted with the assistant coach, but the Hornets coaching staff is a little anxious.

The Hornets' coaching staff is discussing when it is more appropriate to replace the starters. After all, in this case, the sooner they surrender, the better.

Otherwise, the point difference will be too big, and the game will be too ugly.

They also believe that as long as they send a starter, the Knicks will also make adjustments, which is an unspoken rule.

On the field.

The Hornets continued to attack.

Lin Rui continued to press Paul.

Paul continued to dribble behind the back to avoid the rush.

Paul dribbles to the top of the arc and quickly transfers to Thornton.

Thornton continued to single out Curry.

Continuously changing direction, he broke through from Curry's right side.

It's just that Gasol's help defense is very fast, the moment Thornton is about to make a layup.

Gasol directly blocked the ball.

Okafor under the basket got the rebound.

Okafor gave Randolph a confrontation and then tried to drive him away for a layup.

It's just that Randolph didn't lose his balance, and Okafor's layup was blocked by Randolph again.

Randolph blocked the ball and was caught by Curry.

Curry dribbled and sprinted, and Lin Rui continued to accelerate on the other side.

Curry rushed to the frontcourt, and he found that the defensive attention was on Lin Rui's side. He decisively dribbled the ball and adjusted his rhythm to make a three-pointer.

Basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shh!"

An arrow through the heart! !

34 to 85.

"pause!!"

Monty Williams felt so miserable.

Originally the point difference was huge, and then in the third quarter it was a wave of 7-0.

How can people beat this?

"nice shot!"

"Just hit like this."

"The Knicks scored so easily, the Hornets have nothing to do."

"Steph Curry's timing on the transition was fantastic."

"Both Lin Rui and Curry proved that the Knicks don't need Paul."

"I love watching the Knicks shoot threes with two outside shooters."

"The Knicks' offensive and defensive speed is very fast, there is room for three passes and two downs, and then they easily throw the ball in."

"The Knicks' perimeter fire was fully open."

...

...

More and more people recalled the horror of the Knicks in the first two seasons.

Do they still use reinforcements like this?

no need!

It is the opponent who needs reinforcement.

"This is really a boring game, Chris Paul is not that strong." Dolan said.

"Yeah, our perimeter is the opponent's nightmare." Isaiah Thomas said.

Originally, the two still had expectations for Paul's performance, but now they look at it this way.

Can't keep up with the Knicks' system at all.

The Knicks' style of play is too advanced, so what if the All-Star point guard comes here?

Monty Williams performed a personnel rotation during the timeout, replaced Paul, replaced Jack, and let Jack lead the team.

Paul doesn't care much about playing on the court anymore, and the overall morale of the team is also very weak.

For the Knicks, they didn't make much adjustments. Even if they wanted to make a substitution, they would at least wait until halfway through the third quarter.

Pause back.

Jack dribbles upfield.

Lin Rui continued to lead the defense.

Jack felt very hard, but Lin Rui didn't relax at all.

"Defense, defend!"

"Kill them."

"Continue to widen the gap!"

Knicks fans are playing harder and harder, they all want to see how many points they can win this time,

Although the team has led by 50 points, they still feel that it is not enough.

Jack didn't dare to play against Lin Rui. He gave the ball to West in the low post.

West hit Randolph with the ball in the low post.

Randolph slowed a little.

"boom!"

"Beep!!"

West caused Randolph's foul.

West has a chance to get to the free throw line.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

West made two free throws.

36:85.

After a difficult stop, they finally scored.

Knicks attack.

Curry dribbles upfield.

Lin Rui took Ariza to the low position.

The fans at the scene continued to cheer, and the fans liked to see Lin Rui's offense.

Ariza stuck Lin Rui desperately, trying to block Lin Rui's impact.

The Hornets players didn't dare to flank, they knew how sharp Lin Rui's pass was.

"boom!"

Lin Rui pushed Ariza away with direct force, and turned to the inside three-second zone.

Lin Rui did not directly attack the frame, but a feint, pointing Okafor and West under the basket at the same time.

Then Lin Rui jumped up and dunked with one hand! !

"frame!"

36 to 87,

Hornets attack.

Jack dribbles upfield and continues to West in the low post.

West leaned on Randolph and then turned around to the basket.

West's pull-up layup scored the ball.

38:87.

It was West who stood up in time and gave the Hornets a chance to continue their lives.

After scoring the goal, West had no intention of provocation. The gap was too big. He could only find a way to narrow the gap as much as possible, so that the game would be better.

Randolph shook his head dejectedly. If it was last season, he would never have been passed so easily.

Randolph made up his mind to lose weight this time.

Knicks offense.

Curry dribbled forward and Lin Rui ran on the other side.

Lin Rui can clearly feel that the defensive strength is decreasing, and the Hornets players don't want to play the next game.

A game with too much difference loses its meaning.

Curry broke through with the help of Randolph's screen, and West switched defenses, and Curry gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui stood one meter away from the three-point line and dribbled the ball.

Jack and Thornton came to attack together, Lin Rui dodged with a back dribble, and then broke through the two on the right side.

Lin Rui rushed to the free throw line for a long throw.

This ball perfectly showed Lin Rui's touch.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc! !

"Shh!"

Precision hit.

38 is better than 89

"Lin Rui's scoring continued."

"The Knicks are still under the main force."

"Haha, Lin Rui probably will go down after one or two more minutes."

"Even if it's a flank attack, Lin Rui has many ways to crack it."

"It's so easy, it's so domineering."

"Get it done."

The fans shouted excitedly.

Hornets attack again.

Jack still gave the ball to West this time.

Facing Randolph, West made a mid-range jumper after a sudden step on the right.

The basketball draws a standard arc.

"frame!"

The ball was too strong, and Randolph leaped high to receive the rebound.

Randolph yelled at West.

Randolph is probably the most depressed player on the Knicks tonight, and he is often caught playing this position.

Then West is still very sure of beating him.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui greeted Randolph's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Randolph was running.

Lin Rui hit the ground to Randolph who went down.

After Randolph received the ball, he hit West, there was space, and Randolph scored the ball with a layup! !

38:91.

Hornets offense.

Okafor's single in the low post on the right.

Okafor's consecutive tops turned to the basket and caused a foul.

Okafor stands at the free throw line!

The first penalty "box!"

The second penalty "Shua!"

39:91.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui did not hit hard, but gave the ball to Curry on the right.

Curry dribbled through and gave Tucker who went outside.

Tucker passed the ball to Lin Rui.

Seeing that the opponent's defense line hadn't changed much, Lin Rui raised his hand to indicate that he was going to be singled out.

Lin Rui faced Ariza's defense!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Left side!

Right!

Lin Rui's continuous rhythm changes.

Ariza swayed with Lin Rui's rhythm.

Lin Rui chose a horizontal retreat after continuous shaking.

Lin Rui's horizontal retreat forcibly opened the gap between him and Ariza.

Super long distance from beyond the three-point line! !

Basketball is like a sniper bullet shot out!

"Shh!"

Hit the bullseye with precision! !

39 is better than 94

55 points! !

At this time, Monty Williams signaled the Hornets' other bench players to stand up and prepare for a large-scale substitution.

Seeing the opponent's coach do this, D'Antoni also signaled that the Knicks' substitute was ready to come on.

Up and down!

This may be the earliest game to enter garbage time.

...

...

After several consecutive rounds, both teams finally completed their adjustments.

The starting players of the two teams sat off the court talking and laughing happily, while those players who played less time on the court played seriously.

On the Knicks side, Stephenson's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. When there were no other starters, he played like a superstar. None of the Hornets' second-team players could limit him.

8 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter.

When Stephenson faced Jack, after a series of shaking, he directly shook Jack to the ground.

Step back to the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer!

"Shh!"

Precision hit.

After hitting a three-pointer, Stephenson smiled at Lin Rui and played his violin.

This goal also helped the Knicks widen the point difference to 60 points.

5 minutes 11 seconds.

Still Stephenson.

Stephenson passes the ball to Whiteside.

Whiteside dribbled the ball back to Stephenson.

Stephenson dribbled the ball to the outside to withdraw.

Seeing that Jack wasn't paying attention, he immediately made a jump shot one meter away from the three-point line! !

"frame!"

"Shhh!!"

The ball went in again.

"Yo, this rookie can do it."

"The ability is there, but the mind is not very bright."

"Yeah, playing his violin again, lol."

"This guy is cute!"

...

3 minutes and 11 seconds! !

Stephenson passed Jack who was marking him in one step, and dribbled in by himself.

Gorgeous split button with one hand! !

"frame!!!"

This dunk widened the difference between the two teams to 70 points! ! !

The Knicks' substitutes still showed no mercy and beat the Hornets to death.

finally!

The score of this game was fixed at 80 to 152.

The Knicks beat the Hornets by 72 points at home.

This is a super big win.

The Hornets, a fringe team in the Western Conference playoffs, looked vulnerable to the Knicks.

The Knicks' performance in this game can be called the best of the season.

林锐本场比赛也轰下了50分16助攻11篮板球的数据，库里拿到27分6助攻。

Stephenson scored 18 points and 4 rebounds.

黄蜂那边，得分最高的是韦斯特，拿到了18分11篮板，保罗拿到12分6助攻3篮板6失误。

Except for the two, no one else from the Hornets scored in double figures, and everyone else scored in single digits.

The Knicks restrained the Hornets to death.

Paul, who lost the game, looked very bad, and he directly refused the interview from the reporters on the sidelines.

On the other hand, Stephenson was very excited and said to reporters on the sidelines: "Are you still talking about trading? A bunch of fools! We are the strongest team, bar none."

"Know why we won so much tonight?"

"Just to show you how strong we are."

"You never know how powerful we are!"

Stephenson is very arrogant!

But his arrogance also has capital.

Here in the Knicks, Stephenson has not encountered a failure yet!
