Lin Rui scored 25 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds in the first half.

In the locker room.

Lin Rui and Tony Allen took the initiative to take responsibility for the unfavorable external defense.

"Tony, we have to speed up our pace in the second half, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable if they keep making a shot." Lin Rui explained to Tony Allen.

"I understand, I know what to do." Tony Allen said.

D'Antoni also set up tactics and said: "The defense can be appropriately expanded in the second half of the game."

Everyone nodded.

The Knicks' current problem is that they are not doing well on the outside defense.

"The Lakers played a perfect first half, and their outside line scored many incredible goals against Lin Rui and Tony Allen, and these goals ensured that they took the lead."

"The Knicks need to solve the problems on the outside defense. Lin Rui and Tony Allen need to improve their defensive intensity as soon as possible."

"The Lakers' inside line also need to be opened, and they cannot always rely on various fairy balls on the outside to gain a lead."

The second half of the game started again.

Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Richardson, Randolph and Yao Yu formed the starter.

The Lakers are the starter at the beginning of the game.

Knicks' offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Yao came up to cover it.

Lin Rui moved horizontally around Dayao's body.

Yao Shunxia.

Lin Rui hit the ball to Yao.

Dayao received the ball with both hands and moved one step to the three-second zone.

Bynum and Yao Da’s direct confrontation.

"Bang!"

Yao Da carried Bynum and drew the ball with one hand!!

There are not many players in the league who can play Bynum like this, and Yao Day is one of them.

"box!!"

65 to 62

Yao pulled the basket hard!!

The basket made a painful hissing sound.

After Yao fell to the ground, he also patted his chest.

The Knicks still have the advantage in the inside!

"The Knicks are now enough to suppress the Lakers, and Lin Rui has also used this smartly to let Yao Da enter the inside and continue to kill. If he rushes like this, it will be difficult for both Bynum and Gasol to deal with it." Zhang Weiping said.

"Yes, Lin Rui is also very clear about the advantage of Yaoyao, which is to let Yaoyao attack. The Lakers' inside line has no way to Yaoyao." Xu Jicheng said.

Lakers attack.

Kobe took the ball through half.

Lin Rui wrapped around directly.

Lin Rui's defense is very strong, and Kobe has not found a good singles opportunity.

Kobe greeted Bynum's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Kobe hit the ball to Bynum.

Bynum tried to fight Yao Da.

No advantage, continuous squeeze!

Yao Da was still moving, and Bynum turned around continuously to hook.

But the moment he was about to collect the ball.

"Bang!"

Lin Rui rushed out and cut off the ball in his hand.

Lin Rui got the ball, and without any hesitation, he threw it directly to Tony Allen in the frontcourt.

Tony Allen made a layup quickly.

65 to 64.

"The Knicks' defense has been successful, Lin Rui's ball is quick and quick," said Barkley.

"It is obvious that the Knicks' outside line has increased the defensive intensity, which forces the Lakers to enter the inside line to handle the ball. The Knicks have Yao Ming, so the Lakers' inside line is very uncomfortable." Smith said.

On the field.

Tony Allen signaled Lin Rui from the air that the ball was passing beautifully.

Lakers' offense.

Lin Rui, Tony Allen, and Richardson moved quickly, still freezing the Lakers' outside attack.

Kobe forced Lin Rui to hit Lin Rui's three-point jump shot!!

Yao took the offensive rebound.

The Knicks' defense was successful.

Lin Rui carried the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui and Yao's pick-and-roll are back.

Yao Yao's lower back attracted the attention of the defensive, and Lin Rui dribbled in and made a quick stop across a mid-range shot!!

Gasol rushed over the ball, but it did not disturb Lin Rui.

"Swish!"

65 to 66.

The Knicks successfully overtake the Lakers.

After increasing the defensive intensity, the Knicks could clearly feel that the Lakers' offense became more inefficient.

Lakers' offense.

Kobe played Tony Allen alone at the low post.

After a continuous impact on Tony Allen, he turned over and leaned back and jumped.

Tony Allen blocked Kobe's face, but Kobe still scored the ball.

67 to 66.

Kobe quickly overturned the score.

Kobe is not obsessed with attacking from the outside, and he can play even when he enters the inside.

Kobe's response also made Komi and others cheer.

"Bryant's offense is picturesque."

"Awesome!!"

"No more to say."

"This game is about Kobe and Lin Rui's confrontation."

On the field.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Yao who came out to meet him.

Yao Yao was watching the ball while he was online. He did not attack by himself, but gave the ball to Richardson on the side first.

Randolph gave Richardson a cover, and Richardson dribbled through.

Lin Rui was running on one side.

Richardson's breakthrough was not threatening, and he did not dare to attack Bynum and Gasol.

Richardson gave the ball to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen had an open space, but he didn't shoot, so he kept transferring the ball to Lin Rui.

Kobe replaced defense with Lin Rui.
