A different point guard path

...........

The Knicks established the victory very early in this game, and let the substitutes train early.

Randolph said in an interview with reporters on the sidelines: "There is not much pressure on us in this round of the series. We just treat it as a warm-up. I hope that the opponents in the next round of games can create more challenges for us." trouble."

Tucker also said: "We haven't lost in the playoffs for a long time, and I kind of forget the feeling of losing. Of course, this is not to say how great it is, but it does need a little more challenge for us."

In the press conference after the game, D'Antoni gave the Knicks players eye drops: "We need to remain humble, let go of our arrogance, and take every opponent seriously. Don't think that our strength is better than everyone else. We just It's an honor to be on a great team."

With this victory, Tucker, Danny Green, Curry, Gasol and others are quietly changing their mentality.

Especially some players whose contracts are about to expire have encountered crazy temptations from the outside world.

There are too many teams wanting to poach the Knicks.

Lin Rui only scored 37 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds in this game. Compared with his previous crazy statistics, his statistics can only be said to be average. The main reason is that Lin Rui did not play for a long time. He only broke out in the crucial second quarter. Some of the time, other times it works fine.

Lin Rui said: "We will do our best to treat every opponent, so don't be careless and proud."

Lin Rui and D'Antoni have the same idea.

Pacers over there.

Paul George was a little confused: "I don't know what to do to win. We worked hard, but there seems to be no direction."

Paul George originally thought he was pretty good, but falling behind 0 to 3 made him feel that he seemed to have little influence on the game.

"We're in the toughest moment, they're strong and there's nothing we can do about it," Hibbert said.

Vogel also said: "Our players work very hard, and their abilities cannot be denied because of this. The Knicks are a mature team, and we are still growing."

Vogel is not considered an incompetent coach. He has many tactics and systems that are very good.

It's just that facing the Knicks, there is a feeling that a smart woman can't cook without rice.

Danny Granger said: "They have a lot to learn from them and we need to get better."

..........

"The Pacers really tried their best, and there is really nothing they can do about the Knicks."

"The Knicks' dynasty has been established, and this is the result of ordinary teams meeting the Knicks."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of being swept by the Knicks, and the Knicks' team building model is also worth learning from."

"The Pacers' Paul George and Hibbert actually played well, but they were helpless. When they met a super team like the Knicks, they couldn't help the team win."
After the game, the fans were also talking about the game.

The entire Knicks team left the arena happily. For them, victory in this game is equivalent to a locked second-round ticket. No one thinks that the Pacers can come back in the fourth game.

The fourth game also started the next day.

This game is boring.

Most of the Pacers' players are thinking about taking a vacation, and they don't have the idea of ​​going to New York to play another game.

Even Danny Granger has this attitude. Only Paul George is still working hard. This is his rookie season, and he doesn't want to end it so early!

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks also played very relaxed and made frequent mistakes.

But in general, the Knicks still suppressed the Pacers.

The score in the first quarter was 30 to 22, and the Knicks only led by 8 points.

In the second quarter, the Knicks began to control their mistakes, and they began to improve their efficiency.

The defensive attitude of the Pacers players is also defensive with eyes.

The Knicks took the opportunity to hit a 22-2 super shock wave, which directly eliminated the suspense of the two teams.

In the third quarter, the Knicks continued to expand the point difference. They once led by as many as 53 points in the away game.

Hibbert got two consecutive technical fouls and left the game...

Fans booed as the home team dribbled.

Paul George and Danny Granger were also replaced by Vogel early.

D'Antoni also quickly replaced the most marginal players. He didn't want to win so much. Vogel is still a good guy, and there is no need to form a death feud.

NBA coaches change jobs very quickly. If you are coaching a strong team today, you may be coaching a weak team one day. There will always be times when the wind and water will change. It is always good to maintain your character.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 150 to 95.

The Knicks scored 55 points on the road.

Danny Granger was nicknamed "55 Bachelor Jay!" by Pacers fans

This is a shameful game for Pacers fans. As soon as the game is over, a bunch of fans are crazily calling Vogel to leave get out of class....

The fans at the Bankers Life Arena were angry and helpless.

It's too bad that the team was eliminated in this way.

4 to 0 sweep.

The Pacers became the Knicks' first victim in the playoffs this season.

The outside world did not expect the Pacers to lose so badly in the fourth game.

This game is also the first time the series has been swept in the playoffs this season.

The ending of the Pacers did not cause too much surprise from the outside world. It is already a habit for the Knicks to sweep their opponents.

The Pacers didn't try hard in this series, but none of their efforts worked.

The Knicks always easily widen the point difference in the game, which is very depressing to the mentality, which caused the Pacers to lie flat in the fourth game.

On the contrary, the Knicks did not have too many fluctuations from the beginning to the end, and they always dealt with the changes of the Pacers calmly.

With Lin Rui holding the ball, the Knicks always looked calm.

The Knicks' offense and defense are also easily revitalized.

林锐这一轮的系列赛场均有32分钟的登场时间，但却拿到了场均44分13助攻9篮板4抢断3封盖的豪华数据。

Lin Rui continued his dominance from the regular season to the playoffs.

No one can stop them!

As soon as this round of the series ended, the Knicks also announced a three-day holiday.

Their opponents have not yet been produced, and they have plenty of time to rest and adjust.

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

"The Knicks are awesome!"

"Not surprisingly, the Knicks have started the playoffs."

"You can't blame the Pacers for being too weak, you can only say that the Knicks are too strong."

"The Pacers need to go into rebuilding, their leader is too weak."

"Paul George and Hibbert are suitable to be the cornerstone of the reconstruction."

"The Knicks' role players also played well, and they became Lin Rui's reliable helpers."

...

Knicks fans are very satisfied with the state of the Knicks.

After the first round, fans started bragging about the Knicks like crazy.

the next day.

The league issued the award for the best sixth man. Lamar Odom of the Lakers won the award. Odom averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Terry

Most Improved Player was won by Kevin Love.

Kevin Love averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds per game this season. He has shown a potential insider with all-round skills.

The Knicks have no players who can participate in the two awards.

Although Curry has improved, Lin Rui's halo is too great, and his statistical progress is not obvious.

Not to mention the best sixth man. The Knicks have a lot of substitutes. It is not clear who the sixth man is. The role of each substitute is different. In many cases, their role is not reflected in the data. .

Then the best rookie is Griffin. After Griffin was reimbursed for one season, he averaged 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3.8 assists after returning.

If it weren't for a super rookie like Lin Rui, Griffin, who achieved such crazy statistics in his rookie season, would have aroused heated discussions.

This performance is incomparable to both Whiteside and Stephenson.

The discussion of &nvp is also going on, but the final result has not yet appeared.
Lin Rui's attention was not on external remarks.

He is waiting for the next round of opponents to appear.

The Knicks' next opponent will be between the Celtics and the Magic.

The two teams are playing very anxiously now, and the big score is 2-2.

Although the Big Three of the Celtics are a bit old, they played very tenaciously.

If it was two years ago, the Magic would have the upper hand, but now Turkoglu's degradation is too obvious, causing the Magic to want to beat the Celtics.

During the vacation, Lin Rui stayed at home with Li Feifei and the children.

Lin Rui enjoys family life very much.

He sometimes gets tired of frequent games.

On the first day after the holiday, it was officially announced that Gasol Jr. was the best defensive player of the season.

This is another important award besides the best coach in the Knicks.

The best rookie team has also come out, and Whiteside and Stephenson have been selected one after another.

...

...

&nvp Why is it still out? "
"As long as there are no injuries, the next 10 years will be Lin Rui's reign, and he will not leave this award."

"A lot of reporters revealed that they all voted for Lin Rui."

...

...

The Knicks' opponents in the second round came out soon.

Orlando Magic.

After tough battles, the Magic defeated the Celtics in 7 games and successfully joined forces with the Knicks to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals.

On the Celtics side, after losing the first round of the playoffs, they immediately announced a rebuild, everyone on the team was in a tradable state, and then fired head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

The Celtics' Big Three finally came to an end! ! !

&nvp Awards Results.
The Knicks got the news in the morning because of the New York NVP speech ceremony.

...

The &nvp award once again ignited a frenzy of people praising Lin Rui.

"Congratulations Lin Rui!"

"Lin Rui's strength lies there, and he has conquered everyone every season."

"A perfect player is as perfect as a vp in the game."

&nvp, three consecutive championships, three consecutive fmvp, who else but me! ! "

"Lin Rui is extremely domineering."
Lin Rui said: "Hey, it's me again, I really hope it's a bit of a challenge."

Lin Rui's first sentence was very pretentious.

"Clap!"

"Clap!"

The reporters on the scene and the guests off the field applauded and smiled.

The words of a strong man are easily recognized.

...

...

Speeches are like phony quotes.

The &nvp awards also made him top the headlines again.

In recent years, Lin Rui has almost become the representative of basketball.

Lin Rui also often appears on various ranking lists of sports figures.

The day after the speech.

The long-awaited Eastern Conference semifinals finally started.

The Knicks host the Magic.

The outside world is still optimistic about the Knicks in this round, but they don't think the Knicks will have a sweep.

The Magic showed great strength in defeating the Celtics.

They don't look as good as the previous two years, but Howard is still at his peak.

On both ends of the offense and defense, Howard also has certain advantages facing the Knicks.

Barkley said: "The Magic performed well. They should be able to win a victory. Of course, there should be little hope of winning the series."

Smith said: "I think the Knicks may sweep their opponents. The strength of the Magic is not as high as expected by the outside world. It can also be seen from the last round of the game. The Knicks won easily. Many times they did not use their strength. The opponent falls."

During the pre-match interview.

Howard also said to reporters: "You always say that the Knicks are very strong, Lin Rui is very strong, we have no chance, what I want to say is that we not only have to win 1 game, we have to win 4 games, send them back Home."

After passing the Celtics, he is full of confidence.

Turkoglu also said: "We will do our best to defeat them. They are not without weaknesses, but we have to be more patient."

The interview with the Knicks was quite satisfactory, and they did not show an attitude of looking down on their opponents.

Smith said: "The Knicks' insiders are all big men, stronger than the Celtics. Howard is not easy to play inside. If Turkoglu can make shots from the outside, it will also share a lot of pressure for him."

Lin Rui went to the frontcourt unhurriedly.

At the top of the arc, Lin Rui gestured for Dayao to step up to cover.

It was Richardson who defended Lin Rui.

It was Curry who defended Richardson, and Curry's position was in place.

It's just that his body is not as strong as Richardson's. In this kind of fast break and defense, it is a competition of talents.

Richardson scored a layup with Curry.

8:5.

The Magic showed good form at the beginning of the game, showing that they are different from the Pacers.

The Knicks were obviously a little careless. They rested too long, which caused the rhythm of the game to fail to keep up.
