After the game, Lin Rui went home.

The Knicks are still waiting at home for the third game.

At the beginning of the season, the Knicks' schedule was very sweet, which also gave Lin Rui enough rest time.

After a day off, the Knicks faced the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks at home.

The Bucks are now average in strength, and their main core players are Reed, Jefferson, and Bogut.

Reed has had frequent injuries in recent seasons, which has seriously affected his condition.

During the 2006-07 season, Reed averaged 26 points per game. Last season, he played 52 games, with an average of only 22 points per game.

The first two games of this season were in average shape, with only 18 points and 16 points respectively.

In this game, Reed was even more focused on Lin Rui and struggled even more on the offensive end. Outside the three-point line, Reed made 1 of 8 shots. As for the two-point shots, he scored 3 of 10 shots, and in this game he scored 12 points. He was restricted by Lin Rui.

Reed is a shooter. As long as he is stuck by Lin Rui, it will not be so easy for him to use his explosive power to overcome Lin Rui.

As long as Reed plays the pick-and-roll, the Knicks will use the strategy of replacing and preventing delays to test Reed's passing ability.

Reed has an average pass ability, and then, besides him, other Bucks players have average offensive ability.

The Knicks played very dominant in the inside line and did not lose the least in the confrontation with Bogut. Hibert and Bogut blocked each other.

Jordan Jr. deducts the opportunity as soon as he has the chance, and Gasol Jr. mainly helps defend his teammates.

The game ended soon, with only 96-126 points, and the Knicks beat the Bucks at home.

Lin Rui played in this game for 36 minutes, 8 of 11 two-pointers, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, easily scoring 41 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds.

Lin Rui doesn't play much, but he is efficient enough.

The Knicks also played very smoothly in this game. After the third quarter, the Knicks led by 20 points, and then Lin Rui did not make a appearance in the last 6 minutes.

In addition to Lin Rui, the Knicks performed well in other points.

Korver scored 12 points, Randolph scored 14 points, Jordan scored 16 points, and Crawford scored 15 points.

The Knicks team scored 8 players in double digits, and they easily won three consecutive victories at the start.

After this game, the Knicks continued to play against the Charlotte Bobcats at home.

The Bobcats are not a strong team either, the score is 99 to 119, and the Knicks defeated the team again with a 20-point victory.

The Knicks' new player continued to play efficiently under the leadership of Lin Rui.

Lin Rui played 32 minutes in this game and scored 28 points, 15 assists, 13 rebounds and 5 steals. Jordan Jr. scored 12 points, Crawford scored 22 points, Korver scored 9 points, and Hibert scored 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Lin Rui was at ease in the Charlotte Bobcats defense line, neither Raymond Felton nor Jason Richardson could give Lin Rui too much confrontation or interference.

Lin Rui played very easily.

At the post-match press conference, Bobcats head coach Larry Brown said directly: "As long as Lin is in the Knicks, it will be difficult for us to beat him. Lin is the best point guard in the current service. None of them, he can score, defend, pass the ball, he can do everything well. I really hope to have such a player, he can improve the team several levels."

Larry Brown has a very high opinion of Lin Rui.

The opponent Felton also said to the reporter: "When I was facing him, I was a little confused when I looked at him. I was thinking, this guy is really a point guard? His height should be a small forward or a power forward, but he is indeed a point guard on the court. His pass is so sharp that he can always send the ball to his teammates when I never thought of it..."

The entire Bobcats team was a bit conquered by Lin Rui.

As the Knicks went to the road, they beat the Washington Wizards 112-96.

The Knicks successfully achieved a five-game winning streak.

For the Knicks, they themselves do not lack attention, and such a winning streak has brought the discussion of them to the highest level in the league.

In the latest ESPN team strength rankings, the Knicks were ranked third.

Of course, Knicks fans are dissatisfied with this, and they think the Knicks should be the first.

Fans have opinions from fans, media have insistence, and many media also believe that the quality of the Knicks' five-game winning streak is actually not high.

The teams that the Knicks defeated in five consecutive games cannot be considered strong teams. If they need to reach the top, the Knicks need to perform better.

Of course, in the fans' MVP prediction list, Lin Rui suppressed James to become the first.

Since the start of the game, Lin Rui averaged 42 points, 17 assists and 8 rebounds per game, winning the Eastern Conference Week's Best in the first week of the game.

The Cavaliers' record is 4 wins and 1 loss. Although James' 3388 looks good, it is far less shocking than Lin Rui has brought to the fans.

After playing against the Washington Wizards, the Knicks went to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers away.

Lin Rui and James have their first showdown of the season.

...........

"The Knicks are making great streaks. Can the Cavaliers stop a winning streak at home?"

"Lin Rui ranks high in scoring list and tops in assists!"

"A direct showdown between Lin Rui and James!"

"Strong dialogue, Knicks Knights collided."

"Lin Rui averages accurate triple-double per game and is expected to average triple-double per game in the season!"

"As long as the Knicks has another All-Star, they will usher in the championship!!"

"Yao Ming's deal has made significant progress, and the All-Star center will likely change the ball in the near future."

....

....

Cleveland!

In the hotel.

Lin Rui had just finished the phone with Yao.

Indeed, Yao Yao fulfilled his promise and started to join the Knicks after returning to the Rockets.

The relationship between the Rockets and Yao Yao is actually very delicate. Yao Yao’s contract expires next year. If he is unwilling to renew his contract, he can leave the Rockets by the latest next summer.

The Rockets have also lost patience with Yao Yao's frequent injuries, and they are now confused.

Yao Yao's voluntary application to leave the team made them firm in the concept of reconstruction.

The Rockets kept Yao Yao in a scheming manner, but when they were clear that Yao Yao's idea of ​​leaving the team was firm, they began to strive to maximize the trading benefits.

The Rockets have made great gains from Yao Day in recent years, and they also respect Yao Day very much. When Yao Daye proposed to only go to the Knicks to compete for the championship, they did not refuse. They took the initiative to communicate with the Knicks in depth.

The Knicks gave Hibert David Lee the offer for four first-round picks.

The Rockets hope that the Knicks will join Gasol Jr. or Jordan Jr., but the Knicks did not agree easily.

The two sides had a long tug-of-war negotiation.

In the end, under the pressure of Lin Rui and Yao, the Rockets compromised.

The Rockets still have hope for the Chinese market, and he does not want to offend these two super giants at the same time.

The Rockets also gave favors to Yao Yao and agreed to the deal. They wanted to keep a good reputation for suffering some losses and sending Yao Yao to the championship.

There are still some details of the transaction that will be discussed and may be announced in two or three days.

This is bound to be a heavyweight transaction, and Lin Rui was also very excited about it.

After talking on the phone with Yao Dayao, Lin Rui was invited to visit James's house for dinner.

Lin Rui and James do not have that kind of tense relationship.

Kobe won't have dinner with his opponent before the game, but Lin Rui will.

Lin Rui has a good relationship with James.

James's mansion is also very luxurious, not inferior to Lin Rui in New York.

However, the housing prices in the two places are not the same level, and Lin Rui’s luxury house costs even more.

After dinner, James discussed with Lin Rui about his joining the Knicks next year.

This was the first time the two of them sat down to talk about this. James wanted to talk about it before, but Lin Rui avoided it.

Lin Rui's greatest attraction to James in the Knicks.

However, Lin Rui is not interested in James' joining, and he does not want his core position to be challenged.

If James joins, Lin Rui may also be scolded by a number of fans.

The value of winning the championship is not high.

Lin Rui and James carefully talked about the bad impact of the two teams on the league and basketball world if they join forces.

Yao Ming's joining is different from James' joining.

Yao Ming's joining the Knicks is just similar to Gasol's joining the Lakers.

Lin Rui told James: "LeBron, although I want to win the championship, I enjoy the pursuit of the championship more than the pure result."

James said after thinking, "Lin, I understand your thoughts, but if you are like me and have spent six years not able to win the championship, you should be like me."
