The Knicks' lineup is mainly based on inward cutting and shooting.

Lin Rui needs to take the initiative to take on most of the team's offense.

Gasol came out to make a hand-passing pass with Lin Rui. Lin Rui used Gasol's body to complete the escape from Jason Williams.

Lin Rui rushed into the inside with the ball.

Howard quickly came to assist in defense, but his movements were too slow. Lin Rui changed direction at high speed and passed Howard again.

There was Lewis at the basket. Lin Rui did not take action, but instead hit the ball to Danny Green in the open corner.

Danny Green caught the ball and flicked the ball, and fired Pitrus who was chasing him!

Danny Green's three-pointer starts and falls!!

"Swish!!"

One arrow pierces the heart!!

3 to 0.

The cheers from Amway Center dropped slightly.

Magic attack.

Jason Williams dribbled through halftime.

Compared to the Knicks gradually entering the small ball style, the magic still continues their ancient style of playing.

The position is mainly in the inside, and Howard must play singles in the inside at a low post.

The Knicks were still targeted in the inside today, and Gasol raised his hand to defend Howard alone.

After continuous impact, Howard chose to jump to the small hook on the front!

"box!"

"Swish!"

3 to 2.

The basketball bounced on the basket and fell in.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui held the ball and observed the top of the arc, and Gasol Jr. wanted the ball at the low post.

Lin Rui gave the ball over, and Lin Rui pulled the right running position to attract defensive attention.

Tony Allen cut in from the left, and Gasol Jr. passed the ball behind his head to Tony Allen.

Tony Allen made a layup and scored the ball.

5 to 2.

Magic attack.

After Jason Williams dribbled to the frontcourt, the Magic players continued to run and cut in.

Howard also came out to support him at a high position, and Jason Williams gave the ball to Howard.

Howard gave Carter a hand-pass and then covered it with the opportunity.

Carter broke through with the ball, Tony Allen's defense was in place, and Carter went out again after a circle.

Carter chose to give the ball to Lewis inside. Lewis was obviously misplaced when facing Korver, and Korver was under great pressure.

Although Lewis is not good at eating raw with tough backs, he couldn't help but push Korver into the inside to eat.

Lewis turned around and closed the ball, shook Korver away, and wanted to make a layup.

But when the basketball was about to hit the rebound, a figure flashed by.

Lin Rui rushed over!

"Bang!!"

Lin Rui nailed the ball to the rebound!

“Beautiful cover!”

"Good ball!!"

"Domphet!!"

Lin Rui caught the ball and took it away.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Petrus comes to defend.

After Lin Rui and Gasol Jr. passed the ball hand-in-hand, the Knicks players opened up the space.

Lin Rui faced Pitrus' single defense.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Lin Rui changed directions continuously on the outside.

Pitrus wanted to get the ball, but Lin Rui staggered the rhythm.

Moving horizontally on the right side, Lin Rui retreated horizontally and jumped three-point jump shot.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!!

"Swish!"

8 to 2.

Lin Rui's three-point shot was very stable.

Magic attack.

Howard is still very strong at the low post to ask for the ball.

Like other teams, the Magic hit the inside line when they saw that there was something wrong with the Knicks' inside line.

Van Gundy also felt that the Knicks' arrangement was deformed and decided on such a strategy.

Howard singles Gasol Jr.

Under the strong impact, Gasol Jr. failed to withstand, and Howard caused Gasol Jr. to block the foul.

It is still difficult for Gasol, a little girl, to defend Howard.

Howard stood on the free throw line.

The first penalty.

"Swish!"

The second penalty.

"Swish!"

Howard made two free throws.

8 to 4

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui went to the frontcourt to conduct the ball.

Tony Allen and Korver passed the ball one after another.

Lin Rui cut in with the help of Gasol's cover, and Korver gave Lin Rui a strike on the earth.

Lin Rui received the ball and sprinted, and he made a shot against Lewis.

The basketball rebounded and fell into the basket.

10 to 4

The pace of the two teams was not moving fast.

The Knicks had some advantage in the early stage, but in the second half of the first quarter, their long-range shooting percentage dropped slightly, the Magic caught up with the score.

The Knicks' offense relies on the outside line. If the outside line feels bad, they will be a little trouble.

The Magic are not a weak team, they are very determined to kill the Knicks.

Howard is still at his peak now, and he has a considerable deterrence and dominance on the offensive end.

However, at the end of the quarter, when Lin Rui led the Knicks to the second team against the Magic, the scores of the two teams quickly opened up again.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 35 to 29.

The Knicks led by 6 points on the road.

The Knicks continue their efficient offense in previous games.
