Chapter 500 Intense competition!(1/5)
.............
Knicks attack.
Lin Rui dribbled through half the game.
This time Lin Rui suppressed the rhythm.
Randolph and Yao both went in.
O'Neal defended Yao Yu to use a front-circling defense.
Lin Rui saw Yao was signaling a counter-loop.
Lin Rui didn't hesitate and directly hung the ball back in.
O'Neal was not as tall as he was when he was young, and the basketball just passed his fingertips and fell into Yao's hand behind him.
Yao easily stepped on the ball to the three-second zone, and then pulled it directly on tiptoe.
"box!"
44 to 42.
Overtake the score.
To be honest, Lin Rui also envies Yao's height who can dunk no matter how hard he jumps.
As long as you are healthy, you can play the inside line casually.
If Lin Rui scores, he will have to shake a lot and fake moves. Yao Yao doesn't need to do it at all. As long as he stands in the three-second zone, it is his area. He can get up and end it.
The cheers at the Quick Loan Center Arena were a little lower again.
Cavaliers fans never thought that the score would come so quickly.
Barkley shouted: "The Knicks' offensive efficiency has been improved, which has challenged the Cavaliers' defense. If this continues, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to continue."
Smith said: "This round of series gives people the feeling that no matter how many points the Cavaliers lead, they feel unstable. As long as the Knicks surpass it, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to chase points."
"Yao Da's inside is so relaxed."
"Lin Rui has started to organize an attack."
"The great thing about Lin Rui is that he is not only the scoring king, but also the assisting king."
“This ball was awesome.”
Cavaliers attack.
Mo Williams dribbled to the frontcourt.
This time Mo Williams did not give the ball to James.
But after facing Curry's dribble, he took three points with a tough move.
Mo Williams felt very comfortable when it was not Lin Rui's defense.
He couldn't wait to end the attack.
Curry didn't put enough pressure on his defense, and it was still difficult for him to defend Mo Williams.
The basketball trajectory is very straight, drawing a wonderful arc!
"Swish!"
One arrow pierces the heart!!
44 to 45.
The Cavaliers have a second scoring point to help James.
Quickly overtake.
Curry shook his head, not defending Mo Williams was still his problem.
D'Antoni also frowned. Curry's defensive efficiency is not as good as Tony Allen and Danny Green. He can strengthen his offense when he comes on the court, but it will also weaken the defense to a certain extent. This is something that must be accepted.
Lin Rui went over and whispered to Curry, so he didn't have to care too much.
Knicks attack.
Lin Rui dribbles forward.
Lin Rui greeted him and began to organize the attack.
Go out to catch the ball in circles, conduct continuous conduction and cover.
Curry and Mo Williams had a one-on-one chance. Curry used continuous low-hand dribbling combined with the fake dribbling behind the dribble and dribbling behind him.
Curry got rid of Mo Williams' pursuit and took advantage of O'Neal's failure to come out to assist in defense. He stopped at the free throw line and took a mid-range shot.
Curry's shooting rhythm looks like it is integrated with the dribble rhythm, which is very smooth.
The arcs of basketballs are also very reliable.
"Swish!"
46 to 45.
Precise strike.
Curry looked at Mo Williams, and he couldn't limit him on the defensive end, and he could still get the explosion back on the offensive end.
Zhang Weiping said: "This Curry is amazing. He looks weak on the outside, but his eyes and heart are full of ruthlessness. Mo Williams hit him, but his mentality was not affected at all, and he responded immediately."
Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "So there is nothing wrong with him being the best rookie, and his achievements will not be low."
Both teams played very anxiously in the first half.
The score did not widen.
Lin Rui did not keep attacking on the court, but kept giving assists while his teammates were feeling good.
These assists helped the Knicks keep scoring.
On the Cavaliers, the role players also stood up.
At the end of the half, the score was 62 to 62.
Neither team took the lead.
The first half of the game made the fans of the Speed Loan Center Stadium very happy, and their cheers did not stop.
Cavaliers fans are happy to see the result of the Cavaliers being able to carry the Knicks back.
Overall, the first half of this game was not a bad time.
James scored 26 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in the first half, and his performance was perfect.
The second scorer was Mo Williams. Mo Williams scored 14 points. He withstood the pressure at the critical moment and scored many strong shots.
Lin Rui scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, which was no worse than James.
Lin Rui sat off the court to rest in the last two minutes of the first half, and D'Antoni did a good job of making arrangements.
In addition to Lin Rui, Curry performed the best in the Knicks, who scored 12 points.
Curry is the second starting point of the offense, and he will respond almost every time Mo Williams scores a goal.
Curry also perfectly showed his offensive firepower, and more and more people noticed this best rookie with outstanding performance.
Curry looks cute and his playing style is also very attractive. He has become the second person to watch the Knicks in the New York media.
Knights locker room.
James and Coach Brown were having a heated discussion.
James said: "Coach, we need more defensive pressure, otherwise it will be difficult to win this game."
The almost seamless offensive feel of Lin Rui and Curry connecting them makes James feel tremendous pressure.
No matter how the Cavaliers attack, they will always respond.
James is very confident in his offense, but the defense is gone. Defense is the job of the whole team and requires everyone to work together.
James also believes that being chased in the second quarter is because the team's defensive strength has not increased.
Coach Brown kept nodding, and after James finished speaking, he said to all the Cavaliers players: "In the second half, we will increase physical confrontation against them and strengthen their defense."
Coach Brown is making arrangements in a non-save way.
James didn't know what to say when he saw Brown's arrangement.
These defense methods without specific strategies made him feel helpless.
Coach Brown himself has no choice. His abilities are limited, so it would be unrealistic to let him arrange a lot of concrete tactics like tactical masters Carlisle or Popovich.
The Cavaliers players also shouted in response.
Seeing that his teammates and coaches had this attitude, James sighed, and he finally made a decision...
Here in the Knicks locker room.
The atmosphere of the whole team was great.
To be continued...
