Lin Rui scored 18 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, and he was very influential on the court.

The personal efficiency value is also the highest on the field.

The two teams scored such a first-quarter score, which was considered a high score for the finals.

On the Knicks side, D'Antoni was very satisfied with the players' performance. Although the game was passive at the beginning, the team completed the adjustment over time and established an advantage of 8 points at the end of the first quarter.

This is still a great advantage.

The Knicks were satisfied, but the Lakers were dissatisfied. The Zen master looked serious and could feel his displeasure from his emotions.

The Zen master never thought that the second team would be pulled away directly when they went up, causing the situation to become very passive.

The Zen master did not dare to be careless and continued to put Kobe on the field in the second quarter.

"Kobe, continue to play inside and reduce the frequency of shooting on the outside."

"Ok!"

The Zen master made tactical arrangements for the second quarter in front of Kobe.

"Lin Rui's dominance is not enough, it is as effective as it faces the Lakers."

"This year's Knicks are not that big of a disadvantage against the Lakers."

"It's not that easy for the Lakers to hold Lin Rui down. Lin Rui has a lot of helpers around him."

"The Lakers' defense has encountered a huge challenge."

The Knicks fans shouted happily.

The second quarter game.

D'Antoni asked Lin Rui to take a break. Lin Rui played the whole first quarter, and the Lakers also had some capital to give Lin Rui a break.

Although Lin Rui was resting off the court, he was also observing the situation on the court.

The Knicks' second lineup performed well, with Crawford and Randolph scoring one after another on the court. Although they could not continue to expand the gap, they at least held on to the advantage of the score so that the Lakers would not directly overtake the score.

The Lakers mainly play in the inside, causing consecutive kills in the inside, and frequently hit the free throw line to score.

After four minutes of the second quarter, Kobe scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the score reached 35-40, and the Knicks still had a 5-point advantage.

After this timeout, Lin Rui got on the court.

Knicks' offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui's appearance doubled the pressure on the Lakers.

The Knicks players quickly opened up the space for Lin Rui.

If the Lakers adopt a single defense strategy, just watch Lin Rui perform.

Kobe defended Lin Rui, but Kobe did not allow Lin Rui to organize the offense easily, but continued to confront him.

Kobe's defensive moves are a bit big, but the referee just doesn't call a foul. The collision between the two bodies also reflects the intensity of the finals.

Seeing that Lin Rui had room, he began to dribble against Kobe.

Kobe tried to break Lin Rui's ball. Lin Rui's change in direction became larger and larger. Lin Rui found an opportunity to directly hang Kobe's hand and force a three-pointer!

This foul was obvious.

“Beebeep!!”

Lin Rui's three-pointer was irrelevant, and the ball was aimed at making Kobe foul.

Kobe explained to the referee: "I didn't foul, he pulled my hand over."

Kobe raised his hand and signaled to the referee that his defense was very clean.

But the referee ignored it and signaled that this was a foul.

In slow motion replay, Kobe took the ball, but Lin Rui seized the opportunity to hang up his goal is very critical.

Kobe and the referee failed to defend themselves.

Lin Rui stood on the free throw line, and MVP cheers rang out on the spot.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Lin Rui made three free throws.

35 to 43.

The Lakers attacked, Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Kobe.

Kobe played Tony Allen alone in a low post.

After Kobe's back hit and hit him continuously, he lit up Tony Allen and forcibly committed a foul.

“Beebeep!!”

The referee also gave a free throw.

Tony Allen's moves were very big, and he still brought Kobe down after calling a foul.

After Kobe got up, he went straight to Tony Allen. Lin Rui stopped Tony Allen and confronted Kobe!!

Gasol, Yao and others all came over, and the referee quickly intervened to separate everyone who was about to have a conflict.

The conflict did not arise, and Kobe and Lin Rui knew very well that they could not take action.

Kobe pointed his finger at Tony Aaron and threatened...

The referee finally gave Tony Allen a technical foul, believing that his final joint action was unnecessary.

Kobe stood on the free throw line with a boo.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

It also made three free throws!!

38 to 43.

Kobe responded to Lin Rui's three free throws.

"Swish!"

A steady hit!

38 to 45.

Lakers attack.

Kobe and Gasol's pick-and-roll attack.

Kobe was also Gasol who was given to the free throw line after breaking through and moving across.

Gasol faces Randolph's move in the middle distance!

"Swish!"

Also.

40 to 45.

The Lakers and the Knicks' second-quarter lineup competition was in a tug-of-war.

Lin Rui mainly instigated his teammates to continue scoring, and the Lakers were the whole team.

Both teams have good offenses, and it is difficult to completely limit the opponent.

The first half ended soon, and the scores of the two teams were frozen at 60-64.

The Knicks lead by 4 points at home.

Lin Rui scored 26 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in the first half, and performed very well.

In the Knicks locker room, D'Antoni arranged the second half tactics with the players.

The Knicks need to improve their defense. The Lakers and the Eastern Conference are different. They have many offensive points, and the Knicks' defense is a bit too busy.

On the Lakers, Zen Master also emphasized defense. The Knicks got too many points. This is not the Lakers' playing style, and the Lakers are a little uncomfortable.

The two teams changed sides and fought again in the third quarter.
