Lin Rui continued to show his comprehensiveness on the court.

After a period of stalemate in the first quarter, the Bucks still couldn't stand it anymore.

Jennings dribbles forward.

Lin Rui continued to defend with an oppressive style, and Jennings quickly made the ball. He didn't dare to let Lin Rui get involved. If Lin Rui get involved, it would be too expensive.

Reed got the ball and dribbled to get rid of Tucker, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed. It was difficult for him to survive Tucker like this.

The main reason why the Knicks' defense is that the players' individual defense ability is very strong.

Almost every Knicks match will not be too far from their opponents, and even some positions with obvious misalignment opportunities will not be scored by their opponents.

Reed could only ask for Thomas' pick-and-roll, Thomas kept Tucker firmly in front of him, and Reed advanced with the trend.

Gasol and Randolph guarded the inside, and Reed chose to stop in the middle of the emergency distance!

"Swish!"

23 to 19.

The home feel makes Reed’s rhythm great, and his shots are stable.

"Defense pounces on you, don't let him shoot easily." Lin Rui shouted.

Gasol raised his hand and signaled that this was his own problem!

Barkley said: "The Bucks didn't give up the game easily. If they couldn't win a game back, the series would end early."

"They will have some chances tonight, it depends on whether they can seize it," Smith said.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui took Randolph's serve and slowly advanced.

Lin Rui did not speed up rashly.

Randolph, Gasol Jr., and Tucker are not players who can play very quickly, so it is most suitable to play positional battles.

The defender of Lin Rui is still Cameroonian Prince Bamot.

Lin Rui and him are both UCL players, and they were teammates in college.

Bamot is the son of a local chief in Cameroon and is known as the "Prince of Cameroon".

In fact, Bamot's father holds an important position in the local government and is in charge of the national employment fund in Cameroon...

When studying UCL, Bamott performed very well. For a while, a red T-shirt was popular on campus with the words "moutekicksboute" printed on it. After the TV program "Fresh Prince" was broadcast, he also became the "Fresh Prince" that everyone calls.

Lin Rui remembers that in his previous life, Bamott was the one who discovered Embiid’s basketball talent. It was with Bamott’s help and guidance that Embiid finally chose basketball and successfully entered the NBA...

"Lin, show a little mercy." Bamot said to Lin Rui.

Bamot didn't even be polite to Lin Rui and said directly.

"I'll try to be out of the field in the fourth quarter." Lin Rui smiled.

Both of them were chatting in a joke way.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Rui turned around and directly got rid of Bamot.

Reed is the one who assists in defending Lin Rui.

Reed was too short when facing Lin Rui. Lin Rui simply adjusted the rhythm at the top of the arc and quickly made a three-pointer.

Reed wanted to block the ball, but in the end he failed.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Swish!"

One arrow pierces the heart!

26 to 19.

Although the Bucks are still scoring, the difference is widened at an objective speed.

Zhang Weiping said: "Everyone knows Lin wants to score, but he just can't defend against him."

Xu Jicheng said: "It's not that easy to defend him, it may take two to three people to attack him together."

Zhang Weiping said: "It's just that, it will inevitably give other Knicks players a gap. Lin Rui averaged 18 assists per game this season."

Xu Jicheng said: "The core problem is that Lin Rui can't use the pincer attack of two people to limit it."

Indeed, Lin Rui has always been a nuclear-armed existence at the Knicks.

Without Lin Rui, the Knicks might have been a team at the playoff level, but with Lin Rui, the Knicks looked like a team that locked in the championship.

Lin Rui's role is far beyond other superstars. He can easily attract defense and make the team's tactics easy to come up with.

Bucks attack.

Reed still went to the frontcourt to use the pick-and-roll and wanted to shoot Gasol Jr.

But Gasol Jr. defended this time, and Reed smashed the ball into it.

Bogut scored the ball after he fought against Tucker.

26 to 21.

Bogutt is too obvious for Tucker, so this misalignment is not easy to defend against.

Bogut's offense is not good, and he doesn't perform much in this round of series. He can only play one when there is such a misalignment occasionally.

Knicks attack.

It's still Bamot defending Lin Rui.

Lin Rui sent the ball to Curry after he arrived in the frontcourt.

Curry dribbled a series of sexy balls and then gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Curry sometimes is easy to play tricks, and there are many such ineffective dribbling.

Apart from making your offensive time more urgent, it did not play much role.

Lin Rui did not send the ball out again. Bamot always paid attention to Lin Rui's center of gravity and did not let Lin Rui burst easily.

But if Lin Rui wants to break through, can Bamot defend himself?

Lin Rui adjusted his pace and pretended to break through on the right side. Bamot's center of gravity was slightly adjusted. Then Lin Rui quickly slapped the ball to the left and completed the breakthrough on the left side!

Bamot wanted to follow again, but his body told him that if he followed again, he would fall.

Lin Rui passed, and Bogut quickly assisted in defense.

Lin Rui walked leisurely and gave the ball around Bogut's waist to Gasol, the inside.

Gasol grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed the ball into the basket!!

"box!"

28 to 21.

Gasol is very familiar with Lin Rui's passing. He knows when Lin Rui will pass the ball and when he will play by himself.

As long as his chance is better than his chance, Lin Rui will definitely pass on this opportunity!

Barkley said: "The Bucks have no choice but to defend. Bamot has tried his best, but he is still too easy for Lin Rui to pass this. This forced Bogut to defend. Once he assists in defense, Gasol's chance will come."

Smith said: "Yes, if you don't defend, Lin Rui will attack the basket without hesitation."

D'Antoni watched the game calmly on the sidelines. Although it was a away game, the Bucks' defense did not improve by a level.

How should they defend or how to defend their defense?

When Lin Rui was on the court, the Knicks were in control of the game, and after Lin Rui left the game, the Bucks began to gradually regain their initiative.

Lin Rui went down with 2 minutes and 43 seconds left in the first quarter. The Bucks' shooting felt good and kept chasing points.

The Knicks still rely too much on Lin Rui. Lin Rui went there, and they couldn't attack for a while.

After the first quarter, the score was 36-32, and the Knicks led by 4 points away.

"To be honest, it's rare for the playoff teams to see the Knicks scoring so violently."

"The Knicks can kill their opponents just by attacking."

"The Bucks felt great today, but they still couldn't beat the Knicks."

"The Knicks' offense is nothing to say, it's too violent."

"It's not possible if the Knicks don't have Lin Rui, their offensive level has dropped sharply."

Fans were talking about it online.

Zhang Weiping said: "The attacks of both teams were very smooth in this game, and the Bucks also came up with the intention of causing some trouble for the Knicks."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, Lin Rui was not on the court at the end of the first quarter and made the Knicks a little confused. This is also a problem that the Knicks need to overcome. How should they play when Lin Rui is not on the court?"

Rest during the holidays.

Scott shouted at the players: "I'll continue playing like this later. Without Lin, they would have nothing to worry about. Beat me hard!!"
