At the post-match press conference.

The reporter interviewed James and asked him how Lin Rui played tonight?

James said: "Like the previous game, he still played very well, and he still has the dominance throughout the game."

The reporter asked: "Does you guys swept by them in the regular season mean you will be defeated by them in the playoffs?"

James said: "I don't think so. We've been improving. The difference between us and them is not as big as that in the beginning."

The reporter asked: "Can you tell us where Lin Rui is the most terrifying place?"

James said: "Almighty, you never know what he will do next. When you think he will attack, he will make an unexpected pass. When you think he will pass the ball, he will make a tough personal attack. We are always guessing how he will attack. Then, he also gave the opponents a lot of confidence on the court. All of them know how to play, how to play around Lin, and on the defensive end, everyone works so hard."

James himself didn't know why he was so relied on Lin Rui.

It seems that Lin Rui has completely conquered him.

Wade also said: "He is the player I have ever come into contact with with the most powerful personal abilities. Sorry, I'm not disrespectful to others, but that's the truth."

.........

The interview with the Knicks.

The reporter asked Lin Rui how he felt to defeat the Heat.

Lin Rui said: "They are making progress every time they show up with us. This progress is incredible. Of course, beating such a team is also a sense of accomplishment."

The reporter asked: "Some people call you and LeBron the two best players in the league. What do you think?"

Lin Rui said: "There is only one best player."

.........

.........

Now Lin Rui's words of any arrogant words will not be considered excessive self-confidence, and many fans even like to listen to Lin Rui's words.

After the game against the Heat, the Knicks continued their regular season journey.

In the following regular games, the Knicks also won more than they lost.

April 13.

After the Knicks defeated the Bulls 122-102 at home, they ended the season with their record of 69 wins and 13 losses.

The Knicks lost 13 games this season, a few more games than last season.

But not many people think they are weaker than the previous season because they have really had too many games for players to take off due to injuries this season.

Even in this situation, the Knicks still showed an unstoppable posture.

The Knicks averaged 122 points per game this season, and then lost only 105 points. They were the first in the offensive efficiency league and the third in the defensive efficiency league. They also ranked first in the league in 100 rounds. This is also the largest net win since modern technical statistics.

Almost everyone except Lin Rui was injured this season.

Fortunately, Lin Rui's persistence has maintained the league's first win rate since the beginning of the season.

Lin Rui has delivered terrible statistics this season, averaging 45 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Lin Rui also won almost the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference.

It can be said that the bonus of personal data and team record also allowed Lin Rui to lock in the regular season MVP award.

It’s no secret that three consecutive mvp is no longer a secret.

Of course, the Knicks' league first is also inseparable from the sacrifice of veterans and the growth of rookies.

Yao Yao also gave up the starting position in the final of the regular season, allowing Gasol Jr. to partner with Randolph for a long time.

Randolph has lost 8 minutes of playing time this season, resulting in a 5-point average and a 3-point rebound average.

But this also made Curry even more powerful.

Except when he is injured, Curry is healthy and he is the Knicks' second offensive point.

Curry averaged 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game. In the last six games of the regular season, he scored 30 in three games, and even scored 40 in the final game.

Curry's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 44% and his two-point shooting percentage is as high as 47%. He is the favorite player to improve the fastest.

As Curry grows, he is also considered to be the top pick-and-roll offensive player in the league. Curry averages 1.1 points per game with the help of pick-and-roll offense, and holding a three-pointer is his absolute killer move.

Even if he plays with Lin Rui, he cannot be ignored in many cases.

Injuries are the main problem for the Knicks this season.

But as long as the Knicks lineup is complete, they are invincible battleships!

In addition to Lin Rui, Tucker has the highest attendance rate in the Knicks. Tucker has average athletic ability, but he has played in 78 games and performed diligently. Then Tony Allen and Danny Green did not miss many games, and most of them were mainly rest.

Of course, the Knicks have other surprises.

Marc Gasol.

Marc Gasol is considered by the outside world as the top center in the league, especially his ability to assist and frame protection in the interior, which almost every little man has a headache.

After a long regular season, the Knicks completely resumed their lineup and played in the playoffs at the end of the season.

Among the predictions of media and fans such as espn, abc, and other media, the Knicks are the final champion team.

............

In a season summary program.

Espn McBrien commented on Lin Rui, the core of the Knicks: "Lin Rui is the best leader. He plays very selflessly. He has helped the team a lot. For a while, the Knicks have almost relied on him alone. Everyone is full of praise for Lin Rui, and he deserves such praise. He always appears at the most critical moment."

Stephen Cole said: "Yes, in addition to his personal performance, he also helped his teammates grow. Stephen Curry, Danny Green, Hassan Whiteside, and the Knicks do not have rookies who have lost water. Their young people are always eye-catching, which is also related to Lin Rui's own influence."

Mike Blin smiled and said: "Almost every head coach of an NBA team wants to have a player like Lin Rui, so that they can be very relaxed..."

Espn put Lin Rui's position very high, but the fans did not think it was inconsistent.

Lin Rui averaged triple-double per game for four consecutive seasons, and currently has a triple-double per game in his career!

Such boasting seems not enough to describe Lin Rui's greatness.

Lin Rui looks like Chamberlain in ancient times, and can break a record with just one game.

............

After the final league game on April 14.

The rankings of the east and west are also out.

The top eight in the east: Knicks, Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Magic, Eagles, 76ers, Pacers.

Top eight in the West: Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Hornets, Grizzlies.

According to the playoff rules, the Knicks will play against the Pacers in the first round.

"Looking forward, the playoffs are finally here."

"The Knicks are so overbearing."

"Haha, will the Knicks come to sweep the championship again?"

"The Knicks haven't lost in the playoffs for a long time."

"Lin Rui's MVP is simply not too stable."

"Lin Rui has too many data and honors, and no one has achieved these achievements when he was so young."

"The Pacers are no match for the Knicks at all."

....

....

Fans spoke freely in the forecast list one season against each other.

Although most media and fans believe that the Pacers will not win the series, for them, winning a Knicks is the success of the season.

But no one on the Knicks was careless.

Everyone attaches great importance to the first round of the game.

The Pacers have powerful players such as Granger, Hibert, Collison, Dunleavy, etc. These players also ensure that the Pacers have a certain combat effectiveness.

The Knicks once lost a regular season game to the Pacers.

This loss also made the Knicks coaching staff constantly prepare.

After the regular season, everyone just took a day off and then went into preparation.

D'Antoni stressed: "Forget the first place in the regular season, everything will start from scratch!"

Lin Rui also said: "Everyone starts tonight and is prohibited from going to nightclubs until they win the championship!"

Lin Rui's words were very straightforward. He issued an ban on everyone. This was not his duty, but he could say such things.

The Knicks players have really had too many contacts with nightclubs. During the regular season, people will go to nightclubs to slept after the game.

Lin Rui knew, but he didn't care.
