"Lin Rui contributed everything in the first half and scored 34 points in the first half, but the team lacked two important starting players, which means that why the Knicks are so much behind."

"Lin Rui faces top point guard Paul. With this lineup, the Knicks need to put in more effort in the second half to have a chance to turn the tables."

"The Knicks are different from other strong teams. They rely heavily on their starting lineup. Their lineup depth may be the weakest among strong teams."

"Lin Rui needs to play a performance that continues the first half, and then their defense must be strengthened so that there will be a chance."

In CCTV's studio, two commentators were chatting about the first half summary and the outlook for the second half.

Not only can the commentator see the impact of the Knicks missing two starters, but even the fans can see it.

After the lack of Crawford and Richardson, the Knicks' offensive and defensive system was damaged to a certain extent.

Lin Rui only had 5 assists, all of which were given to the inside.

It’s not that Lin Rui doesn’t want to pass it on, but that he can’t end it when he passes it on to them.

In the locker room.

After Lin Rui finished talking to his teammates, he returned to his seat to rest.

For Lin Rui, he needs to do his best in the second half.

A 20-minute break passes in a flash.

When I was about to walk out of the locker room.

Randolph stopped Lin Rui.

Lin Rui stopped and looked at Randolph without saying a word.

Randolph said: "Lin, this is not just your team. Don't take everything on yourself. I will get the defense in the second half."

Randolph's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Lin Rui patted Randolph on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, I believe you."

After hearing Randolph's words, Lin Rui knew that Randolph was going to fight.

Zach Randolph, in Lin Rui's impression of his previous life, the black and white bears between him and Marc Gasol made all Western Conference playoff teams feel a headache. The extremely arrogant Thunder King broke on the Grizzlies for two consecutive years.

The Grizzlies' best advantage is their inside defense.

Although there is no partner of White Bear, Lin Rui believes that when Black Bear wants to fight, his opponent will not be able to have a good time.

Randolph is a very high-ranking player. Many times his performance on the court depends on his attitude towards basketball.

Now the outside world also recognizes that the best player of the Knicks outside Lin Rui is Randolph.

When Randolph doesn't make trouble, he's the All-Star level.

Looking at Lin Rui's back as he left, Randolph clenched his fists. He wanted to prove his strength in front of Lin Rui.

.........

After walking out of the locker room.

Lin Rui heard the cheers of the fans of Madison Garden Arena.

The camera here aimed at Lin Rui as soon as he came out.

All Knicks fans know very well that it depends on this super rookie whether the Knicks still have a chance to turn the tables in the second half.

"Lin, come on, I will always support you and I will definitely be able to reverse it." A little fan shouted at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui ignored the shouts of the young fans. There were too many such fans.

After nearly a season of hard work, Lin Rui has gained all the trust of the fans here!

New York fans all believe that Lin Rui is the only one who can lead the Knicks to rise!

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

Soon, the second half began.

The second half was the Hornets' player.

Paul came up with David West's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Paul hit the ball to David West.

There was a communication problem with Nate Robinson and David Lee's defense, and both of them went to chase Paul.

David West is empty, Randolph's assisted defense is over.

David West faced Randolph's defensive jump shot.

Randolph defended the ball very well, but still failed to stop David West's goal.

"Swish!"

80 to 58.

After the goal, Paul celebrated with West's high-fives.

In their opinion, this game should be accepted steadily.

Randolph's eyes were full of competition. He felt that just as he jumped a little higher, he could block it, but in the end it was still a little worse.

Knicks' offense.

Randolph sent the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Because of the huge advantage of leading, the Hornets' defense has also been somewhat relaxed compared to the first half.

It was Peterson who defended Lin Rui. Lin Rui did not move too much and accelerated from the right side to pass Peterson.

With Chandler's assisted defense, Lin Rui quickly changed direction to the left and then passed him.

Lin Rui took the ball with the opportunity and took off!!!

Grab the ball with one hand and slashed hard towards the basket!!!

"box!"

The basket made a roar.

It took Lin Rui only 4 seconds to pass the two of them and complete this battle axe-style buckle!!

80 to 60.

"nice shot!!"

“Beautiful job!!”

"Lin Rui's speed of surpassing people is so fast."

"Lin Rui looks like he is going to continue to attack."

"Awesome!!"

"This offense is really straightforward."

The fans cheered decisively for Lin Rui's offense.

After the dunk landed, Lin Rui took a deep breath towards the camera and then returned to defense.

"The whole game is pressing tight!!" Lin Rui started to oppress Paul directly in the frontcourt.

Under the leadership of Lin Rui, the Knicks' players were in strength.

Paul turned around continuously and barely passed the half under Lin Rui's pressure.

If he is entangled by Lin Rui, Paul can't do too many moves.

Paul gave the ball to David West.

West took the ball at the free throw line, and Randolph quickly got on.

West hit Randolph with the ball, and Randolph fell down and did not take a step back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Both sides are rubbing!!

After all, West is not a power forward, so he can't push it in.

It's barely a turnaround.

West wanted to force it with his good feel.

Randolph made every effort to defend this time, and although there was no blocking, it completed the interference.

David Lee stuck Tyson Chandler behind him, and David Lee struggled to win the rebound.

David Lee is very talented in rebounding, and his rebounding smell is great.

David Lee did not stop the ball and gave the ball to Lin Rui who was nearby.

Lin Rui dribbled in a straight line.
