Magic attack.

Howard attracted a pinch in the inside and gave the ball to Lewis.

Lewis had a three-pointer opportunity in the bottom corner and made a decisive three-pointer to make an open three-pointer!

"Swish!"

44 to 51.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Crawford is holding the ball at the top of the arc.

Tkoglu defended Lin Rui.

Tekoglu stuck to Lin Rui.

Then he used a half-hugging posture.

The referee did not call for punishment, and such physical confrontation was allowed in the playoffs.

Tekoglu was scared by Lin Rui's attack, and he did whatever it took to defend Lin Rui.

Crawford chose to attack by himself, and after continuous dribbling, he took a horizontal step and jumped mid-range.

Crawford felt even worse today, so the ball hit the iron.

"box!"

Howard protected the rebound.

As soon as Howard passed to Nelson in the frontcourt, Nelson made a layup with one dragon.

46 to 51.

After being crazily counterattacked by the Knicks, Nelson was almost successful in counterattacking.

The fans at Madison Garden Arena have slightly lowered.

Seeing the Knicks have the advantage, the scores are not completely widened.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and advanced.

After arriving in the frontcourt, David Lee and Randolph brought in cover at the same time.

Lin Rui bent over and dribbled the ball with his low hand, and rushed to the right.

With Lewis's assistance in defense, Lin Rui directly took off and hit the basket.

Lin Rui first gave Lewis a confrontation before completing the impact.

46 to 53.

Lewis seemed to have committed a foul on this ball, but the referee still didn't swear.

Coach Thomas went over to put pressure on the referee.

This is a battle for momentum, and there is no slight relaxation.

The two sides also had ironclads in the next two minutes.

The scoring momentum of the two teams has only slightly declined.

In the last minute of the first half, Nelson and Tkoglu scored a three-pointer, tied the score.

Although Lin Rui has been on the court, the Knicks' advantage has not been retained.

65 to 65.

In the visiting team locker room.

Van Gundy told Howard: "Don't jump easily at the basket."

Howard nodded. The Magic's franchise protection was not done well in the first half, and they were able to catch up with the score, all thanks to the offense that maintained their strength.

Lin Rui has found a way to attack Howard. He has a lot of layups at the basket, which has increased a lot of confidence to the Knicks players to a certain extent.

Home team locker room.

Lin Rui played for 24 minutes in the first half and scored 38 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks, and 3 turnovers.

His performance is comparable to 77 points in a single game.

Lin Rui's performance is crucial to the Knicks. The other players' feel is too bad today. If it weren't for Lin Rui, the Knicks would have fallen behind in this game.

Coach Thomas praised Lin Rui and then signaled everyone to continue to increase their running.

The Knicks were once ahead of the double-digit score in the first half, but ended up not in the lead and entered the locker room, which was not a good thing for the Knicks.

They faced greater pressure in the second half. If Lin Rui's feel slightly lower, then the Knicks would be in big trouble.

Thomas set up the tactics and said: "Our conversion and speed should still be raised. Don't follow the rhythm of the opponent. The inside line does not need to be hit all the time. The outside line is very accurate. We just need to put enough pressure on it."

"Ok!"

"OK!"

All the Knicks generals nodded.

In the second half, the two teams still started to showdown.

Magic's offensive ball rights.

Nelson led the ball through halftime, and Lin Rui went over to interfere.

After Lin Rui strengthened his defense against Nelson, he had no offensive route.

Nelson gave the ball to Tkogru on the right.

Tkoglu played Richardson with the ball.

After continuous test steps, Tkoglu chose to jump shot directly.

Richardson's flutter defense was a little slower.

"Swish!"

67 to 65.

The magic feels great.

The Knicks wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but the Magic players were on guard against this move early, and their position was very fast.

Lin Rui was completely blocked by Nelson in the backcourt and had no chance to start.

David Lee's serve to Lin Rui was too obvious, and Lewis rushed over to steal it.

Lewis took the ball and directly hit the basket, and the Knicks' defense line was already vacuumed.

"box!"

Lewis's one-handed buckle!!

69 to 65.

The cheers of fans from Madison Garden Arena gradually quieted down.

Barkley frowned and shouted: "From the second half of the second quarter, the Knicks have become a little confused about playing. Lin Rui took a breath on the court, and no one came out to organize the offense."

Smith shouted: "Charles, it's not their fault. Such a game is a bit intense for them. Lin is their core organization."

Barkley shouted: "The Knicks are in trouble, the Magic has passed the most dangerous stage, and now they need to raise 12 points of spirit."

Smith shouted: "If you go to the Magic's home court in the tiebreak, the Knicks will have no chance of winning."

Both commentators can see the gap in strength between the two teams.

If the Knicks are not Lin Rui's explosive type, they will not have the chance to fight the Magic to this point.

But can Lin Rui continue to explode next?

Lin Rui on the field kept gasping for breath.

Lin Rui was still held close to him since receiving the serve.

Crawford took the ball through half.

Lin Rui first pushed Nelson away, then broke into the inside.

Crawford gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took the ball and jumped away Howard's rhythm and scored with one-handed throw.

69 to 67.

Lin Rui's key ball is very stable.

Lin Rui was not very anxious on the court, so he responded at his own pace.

Magic attack.

Nelson gave the ball to Howard on the inside.

Randolph gritted his teeth and carried Howard, but Howard's close-range hooking hand was not in.
