Chapter 270: Outbreak
.............
In the second quarter, Lin Rui was still on the court, but Lin Rui did not attack himself, but asked Crawford to take the main attack.
Lin Rui couldn't keep playing with the ball on the court, and he also needed to take a breath.
Only by learning to rest on the court can you further improve your efficiency.
Crawford's handling of the ball was obviously not as reasonable as Lin Rui. With Lin Rui involved in defense, he still made several low-level mistakes, causing the Knicks to be counterattacked.
Lin Rui wanted to take over the attack, but was constantly attacked by magic.
The Magic players were very fierce in defense against Lin Rui, and Lin Rui strengthened his pass.
But unfortunately, the overall feel of the Knicks players in this quarter is not good, and they frequently make irons on the outside.
Lin Rui could only fall into the rhythm of working alone.
However, every time Lin Rui takes action, he attacks two or three people, and this kind of scoring is very difficult.
In the second quarter, the Knicks collapsed again.
The Knicks often start well, and then suddenly stops scoring after entering the second quarter. This is not the first time I have seen this scene.
The Knicks' games are always full of ups and downs. When fans think it is stable, they are unstable. When fans think it is unstable, they can change their fate against the will of heaven.
At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams reached 65-60, and the Knicks fell 5 points behind at home and entered the locker room.
Compared with the previous game, the Knicks are not much behind this time, and 5 points are only two or three rounds.
The second quarter is different from the first quarter. The Magic adapted to the Knicks' changing offensive rhythm, which made the Knicks' offense unable to find too much gap.
As long as they ask Lin Rui to post the ball to other players to end, it means that the defense is successful.
Then while defending the Knicks, the Magic's own offense was opened, which made the Knicks very uncomfortable.
Lin Rui scored 34 points and 8 assists in the first half. His excellence is why Knicks fans feel that there is still hope.
Barkley said: "The Knicks-Lin and Zach can play tough battles, and the other players are ordinary players."
"Indeed, the Knicks' lineup has a big flaw, and it's not easy to get to this point," Smith said.
Barkley said: "Let's see if Lin Rui can continue to create miracles."
Smith smiled: "Only the miracle can save the current Knicks. They have dragged their legs in the second quarter more than once when they were in a hot start."
Barkley also smiled: "Lin Rui couldn't even rest. He played the first half, but the team was still in trouble. It was difficult for the Knicks to defend their home advantage. The Magic are becoming more and more familiar with their playing style."
Lin Rui's data is unspeakable. Randolph's data is also 10 points and 8 rebounds, but the data of others is a bit ugly, and the shooting percentage is not even over 40%.
It was as if the home basket didn't know them.
In the locker room.
The overall atmosphere of the Knicks is not very good.
Lin Rui was looking up and drinking water. He was very efficient in his personal life, but failed to help the team get the lead, which made Lin Rui feel a little frustrated.
Lin Rui quickly decided on his second half, and he would further strengthen his offensive in the second half.
When his teammates couldn't trust him, he could only rely on himself.
The third quarter game.
Magic attack.
Nelson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Tkoglu on the right.
Tkoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Tkoglu did not give the ball to Howard, but chose to take the ball to a mid-range stop with a sudden step on the right!
This shot was a bit hasty!
However, I entered.
67 to 60.
The difference between 7 points and the Magic further widened the difference.
The momentum of Madison Garden Arena was suppressed, and the Magic seemed to have the initiative again as before.
Tkoglu celebrates with Howard's high-fives.
The Knicks attacked, David Li sent the ball to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui took the ball to accelerate and rushed directly.
Tekoglu turned around and wanted to stop Lin Rui, but Lin Rui quickly changed direction and passed Tekoglu.
Without waiting for the opponent's clamping attack, Lin Rui accelerated and rushed through the clamping attacks between Nelson and Redick for a second time.
Howard had not yet stood at the basket. Howard reacted too slowly during the movement. Lin Rui quickly gave Howard a confrontation before throwing.
"Bang!"
"Beebee!"
"Swish!"
Lin Rui played a two plus one!!
67 to 62.
Lin Rui's high-speed impact immediately raised the momentum of the scene.
In order to score this ball, Lin Rui also threw his body out.
David Lee and Randolph came over to pull Lin Rui up.
Fans at Madison Garden Arena cheered, and Lin Rui stood on the free throw line to get the ball in!!
67 to 63.
"Lin Rui did a beautiful job."
"Good ball, I'm rushing hard."
"Lin Rui plays the same way as James."
"The magic is Lin Rui who really can't defend against scoring."
"Lin Rui will feel very uncomfortable if he doesn't give the magic a chance to attack."
"Howard was almost beaten by Lin Rui."
Lin Rui used this ball to show his ability to combine the man and ball.
Lin Rui on the field called on his teammates to return to defense quickly.
The magic attack is very terrible.
The Knicks often fall behind and turn around is because of their third quarter.
The Knicks always show a different momentum in the third quarter.
After recovering from physical fitness, the Knicks players' defense became more active.
The Magic players began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Nelson brought the ball through the frontcourt and continued to give it to Tkoglu.
Tekoglu still played the same way as last round. With Howard's cover, he took a quick stop and mid-range distance.
But this ball is a pity, and the basketball hit the basket and bounced high.
Lin Rui went back to grab the rebound, then continued to turn around to increase his speed.
Lin Rui wanted to seize Howard's return to defense and make a fuss.
Seeing Lin Rui accelerating like a sports car, New York fans also shouted.
"come on!"
"Kill them!"
“Good!”
indeed.
The magic's return to defense is not as fast as Lin Rui's advancement speed.
After the high-speed advance to the frontcourt, the Magic's defender still did not take the position.
Redick is defending Lin Rui.
Lin Rui cleverly dribbled the ball with his back and shook Redick away, and quickly made a three-pointer with one step away from the right three-point line!!
Redick's reaction was quick. He rushed over, but he couldn't stop Lin Rui from taking action.
The basketball drew a gorgeous arc in the exclamation of the Madison Garden Arena before entering the net!!
"Swish!"
67 to 66.
The original 7-point advantage instantly turned into 1 point after Lin Rui had a two-plus and a three-pointer.
Magic head coach Van Gundy wiped his sweat with a towel on the sidelines, and he knew that the Magic's challenge was coming.
Lin Rui's scoring outbreak was crazy. If the magic could withstand it, he would win tonight. If he couldn't withstand it, he would be very likely to lose the game tonight.
After scoring the goal, Lin Rui did not celebrate, but led the Knicks players to continue to be in intensity.
The Knicks' defensive enthusiasm quickly mobilized after the score approached.
Chapter completed!
