47 to 59.

During the timeout, Tony Allen was replaced by Korver, and Tucker became a player in the main defense of Kobe.

Although Tony Allen's defense is strong, he has made three fouls on him now, all of which were obtained from Kobe.

It is not easy to defend Kobe.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Lin Rui gave the ball to Korver, and Korver gave the ball to Tucker.

Tucker gave the ball to Yao again.

Yao brought a step forward to Lin Rui with a hand-passing ball.

After Lin Rui got the ball, he gained room for acceleration with the help of Yao Yao's body.

Lin Rui accelerated again and broke through the attack between Kobe and Ariza.

Lin Rui's speed was very fast, Gasol quickly assisted in defense, and Lin Rui changed direction to the left and then passed Gasol.

Lin Rui grabbed the ball and flew into the air, and slashed with one hand!!

"box!"

47 to 61.

Lin Rui pulled the basket hard.

"Buzz!"

Lin Rui pulled the basket and buzzed before landing.

D'Antoni on the sidelines applauded and celebrated.

What he hopes to see is Lin Rui like this.

If Lin Rui's offensive firepower is released together with the pass, the opponent will be in huge trouble.

After this attack, the Knicks still steadily controlled the situation.

The first half ended soon and the score reached 57 to 72.

The Knicks lead 15 points at home.

Lin Rui scored 40 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the first half.

Kobe scored 26 points and 4 rebounds.

Lin Rui is still the only one in data.

The Knicks did a good job in all aspects in the first half, but they were not well controlled for the foul.

Tony Allen, Tucker and Yao had three fouls on them, and the Lakers have always adopted a strong physical confrontation strategy against the Knicks.

The Lakers got a lot of points at the free throw line.

Of course, these free throw scores do not allow the Lakers to close the gap further.

The Knicks' overall shooting percentage is 15% higher than that of the Lakers, and the Lakers are very passive in sports games defending the Knicks.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui's overall feel that led the Knicks was much better than in the last game. Lin Rui showed his role as the team leader. The Knicks' offense in the first half was very smooth, which left the Zen master helpless."

Smith said: "Look at whether the Lakers can change in the second half, otherwise they will be passive in this round of the series."

In the locker room, Lin Rui was watching Kobe's first half video brought by the assistant coach.

Because Tony Allen and Tucker's fouls were too fast, Lin Rui might defend Kobe at a critical moment in the second half.

Although Tony Allen and Tucker's full blunder will not have much impact on the team, too many fouls will make them feel a little nervous on the defensive end.

The Lakers' locker room.

The Zen master emphasized the determination to shoot in open spaces on the outside.

The Lakers rely too much on the inside. In the past, their insides could have an advantage against other teams, but now they will be very difficult to face the Knicks.

In this case, only if the outside line encounters a decisive move can the Lakers catch up with some scores.

The third quarter started soon.

The Knicks are Lin Rui, Crawford, Tucker, Gasol Jr. and Jordan Jr. on the court.

The Knicks' inside line is very luxurious, and they can easily form a double tower lineup.

Jordan and Gasol are both rookie players, but no one dares to underestimate them. Their role in the inside is very obvious.

The Lakers have a full starting lineup.

Obviously, the Knicks have a great advantage in lineup depth.

Lakers attack.

Kobe and Gasol's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, Kobe thrust Tucker on the right.

Tucker's horizontal movement was slower and Kobe broke into it, but Gasol's assistant defense was in place.

Kobe passed the ball to Fisher on the outside.

Fisher made a three-point jump shot.

Lin Rui's pounce was slower.

"Swish!"

60 to 72.

It’s not that Lin Rui’s defense is too slow, but that Fisher’s move is really too fast.

The 0.4 second shot of three-pointers was not a big deal.

After Fisher made a three-pointer, the Lakers immediately put the Knicks on the whole game.

The Lakers are very experienced. They all know that the key to catching up with the score is defense, and offense is relatively secondary.

Lin Rui received Randolph's serve and Kobe quickly posted it.

Lin Rui leaned against Kobe, blocked it with his butt, and kept pushing forward.

Kobe's small moves have been interfering with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui blocked Kobe with his hands as he approached the half.

Kobe lost his balance and fell to the ground.

“Beebeep!!”

The referee called Lin Rui for an offensive foul.

Lin Rui and the referee signaled that Kobe had many small moves.

But the referee ignored it and said he didn't see it.

Lin Rui made a move to wear glasses for the referee.

The referee saw Lin Rui's provocation, but did not dare to call a technical foul.

He was obviously worried that Lin Rui would continue to make a big fuss.

Lin Rui returned the ball to the referee and did not argue anymore.

The fans at the scene booed.

"Kobe showed his experience advantage, which made Lin Rui suffer a secret loss."

"Lin Rui needs to control his emotions a little and not be affected."

Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng were chatting.

Lakers attack.

Kobe dribble forward.

Lin Rui also took the initiative to stick to the guards.

Very big moves.

Kobe felt the pressure from Lin Rui. He did not compete with Lin Rui, but instead gave the ball to Gasol.

Gran Gasol's free throw line supports.

Observe the defense.

The Knicks' defensive strength is also very strong. Gasol did not find much opportunity, so he gave the ball back to Kobe.

At this time, the ball to Kobe means that Kobe needs to shoot.

Kobe won't be polite. Kobe took the ball and took a step forward to face Tucker's defense, so he simply made a high jump shot.

The arc of the ball is very high, but!

"box!"
