"Lin Rui's talent is so outstanding!!!"

There was no one-sided situation in the game because of this dunk.
The Celtics players have a mature mentality.
In the first quarter, the two teams tied 35-35.
Lin Rui played 9 minutes in the first quarter and scored 18 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
Lin Rui is as outstanding as ever.
Rest during the holidays.
Rivers frowned on the sidelines.
Rivers couldn't have imagined that the Celtics would play so well, but they still did not have the advantage in the Knicks in such a remnant formation.
The Celtics' offensive efficiency is very high, but they just can't pull the score.
Rivers kept emphasizing his defense against Lin Rui.
Whether the Celtics can withstand the second team led by Lin Rui is also the key to whether they can win this game.
Rivers did not dare to put the three giants down at the same time, so he asked Pierce and Garnett to stay on the court to fight Lin Rui.
Lin Rui is the defensive object that the Celtics need to emphasize, which is a unified consensus formed by the Celtics early on.
Defending Lin Rui requires the efforts of the Celtics, not alone.

The second quarter started quickly.
Lin Rui broke through and passed the ball to Richardson on the outside.
Richardson failed to make a three-pointer.

Garnett gave the ball to House.
House's organizational ability is worse than Rondo, but his independent offense is good and he can shoot.

Chapter completed!
