54:51, the Knicks led by 3 points in the first half, which was already great for a team that scored a 6:17 at the beginning.

The Bulls are now very confused. All three players in the frontcourt are activated. In addition to Anthony and Stoudemire who jointly contributed 30 points, another striker Brewer also scored 10 points, which means that these three have already joined forces to contribute 40 of the 54 points. Regarding this feeling, Lin Yang only wants to say one thing, the point guard is really fun.

Thibodeau no longer wants to emphasize how his team should defend well during the halftime break. They have been playing for a season, but he emphasized this matter in every halftime break in the first five games of a series, but in the second half, almost no two games were satisfied with him.

"Okay, I don't want to tell you what your defensive problem is. The opponent's offense is very strong. I admit that, but if you want to win, you have to hit your own offense instead of making a purposeless three-pointer on the court."

The team scored 17 points in the half quarter, and then scored only twice the 17 points in the next three and half quarters. The actual data used to indicate that the offensive efficiency in the next time was only two-thirds of the previous one.

Isn’t the player Thibodeau mentioned who aimlessly takes a difficult three-pointer on the court the regular season MVP Derek Ross?

The first three-pointer shot was not very good, but the next three-point shots were not very good. As a result, after the final half, Ross would not have so many three-point shots.

Even without giving a name, Thibodeau's words are quite heavy. Rose's treatment in the Bulls is the future Jordan.

The atmosphere in the Bulls' locker room was dull, but the Knicks' home team's locker room was much better. The most discussed was whether Lin Yang finally planned to complete his first assist in the playoffs and double-double.

With 8 assists in the first half, let alone players like Lin Yang who are not famous for assists, even if they are super point guards like Nash, Paul and Rondo, they are still excellent data.

"Lin! I hope your 10th assist can be passed to me! After all, this is a historic moment, and I can't guarantee whether you can see this scene in the rest of your career." Stoudemire wanted to book Lin Yang's 10th assist.

As Steve Nash's old partner, he has many passes from Nash's tenth assist in his career, which is normal, because Nash has averaged several assists per game in his career, and basically has 10 assists per game in the playoffs.

At this time, he couldn't help but joke about Lin Yang. Although it was really difficult for Lin Yang to reach 10 assists, it was even more difficult for him to get 10 assists per game. However, as the field vision of the playoffs improves, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that he can't see assists in doubles again in the days to come.

Unfortunately, it is not only Stoudemire who fell in love with Lin Yang's first double-double, but Anthony is the same. He does not agree with what Stoudemire said that this may become Lin Yang's only assists in double-double in his remaining career, but what he can be sure of is that the next 10 assists will definitely be far away.

"Amare, please find your own partner!" Anthony pointed at the fat man sitting on the bench and eating melons.

Judging from the results on the court, Feidun and Stodmeier are the two best partners. About half of Feidun's average of 8 assists per game in the season were given to the center of the Brutalist inside. After leaving Nash, Stodmeier still averaged 25 points per game and won the second team of the center. Feidun's role in it was very obvious.

Lin Yang and Anthony are the two duo who have the most tacit cooperation in positional battles, two outside lines, and since Lin Yang evolved at the three-point line, these are two outside stars who can be inside and outside. Of course, Lin Yang's three-pointers are relatively not that stable, and Anthony is at most at a higher level.

But Lin Yang's historical breakthrough and Anthony's kaleidoscope-like offensive methods are enough for such three allocations.

The other two core members are competing for Lin Yang's 10th assist to be the main attacker. Brewer and Tony Douglas, who had some ideas, no longer had this idea. How could the big guy be so easy to mess with?

The second half began soon, and the Bulls' defense changed slightly. CJ Watson was defending from the outside, and the pinched attack would no longer keep up with it from the beginning.

The ninth assist came quite late. In the middle of the third quarter, Lin Yang's pass found Landry Fields who was ambushed in the bottom corner and made a three-pointer.

66:58, the leading score reached 8 points. Just as it was just going to double digits, the Bulls' defensive strength further strengthened. Although many players on the court played much more games than the Knicks' main players, they still had to strengthen their defense now, because this is their life-and-death battle.

Perhaps because the Knicks players are performing better and better, the Bulls can no longer focus on Lin Yang. This also caused Lin Yang's 10th assist to never have a chance to come.

Ross reduced his three-point shot in the second half, and Thibodeau's words were still useful. Ross's breakthrough at the beginning of the second half was also very firm, otherwise it would be 8 points away now.

But this time, Stoudemier did a good job of making up for defense, and Ross's breakthrough was disturbed by Stoudemier at the last moment.

Rebound, Lin Yang once again got this defensive rebound and pushed forward. On the left, Anton, who had just interfered with the layup on the right, quickly followed. Whether they got the 10th assist depends on how fast they ran.

The Knicks' three-core cores were like a troika and headed straight to the Bulls' penalty area. They were unsatisfied with their speed, and Lin Yang was even more invincible to attract most of the Bulls' energy to return to defense. This was a good time to win the tenth assist.

The pass was not given to Anthony on the left, nor to Stoudemire on the right, but to Brewer, who was originally preparing to paddle in the back.

In the past, the company commander of the cavalry company charged and was on the front line of the fast attack. This time he gave way to the two big guys, but after going around, the 10th assist still fell into his hands. But in such a game where he would advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, can this goal be avoided?
