Chapter 146(1/2)
The Spurs have a good defense, but after coming to Madison Garden Square, they fought against the Knicks.
After Lin Rui's comeback, the Knicks took some advantage in the point guard position, which also made their rhythm easily push up.
However, Parker played very well in the first quarter. He had speed and rhythm. When he was there, the Spurs did not lose points.
The Spurs mainly fell behind when rotating the lineup.
Rest during the holidays.
Thomas still didn't let Lin Rui rest: "Lin, you continue to play with the second team, Zach, you can also go."
When playing against a strong team, Coach Thomas always involuntarily increases Lin Rui's playing time.
Thomas knew very well that Lin Rui was different from ordinary rookies, and his physical fitness rarely had problems.
Besides, Lin Rui had already rested 5 games before tonight's game.
The second quarter started quickly.
Ginobili and Parker led the team on the Spurs, and Duncan went down to rest.
Their inside line is Horry and Bonner.
Spurs' offense.
Parker dribbled to the frontcourt.
Bonner and Horry both brought cover.
Nate Robinson was directly passed by Parker.
Parker rushed into the inside and threw the ball into the ball against Randolph's assisted defense.
30 to 32.
Although Parker is a defender, his shooting percentage at the basket is extremely high, even higher than many inside players. He has various ways to score at the basket.
Lin Rui also wiped his sweat when he saw it. Nate Robinson probably would have difficulty defending Parker.
Ginobili played a role in restraining Lin Rui from the side.
Lin Rui has a strong defense, and the Spurs are also very smart. They try to avoid Lin Rui from playing on the outside.
Knicks attack.
Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
First give the ball to Nate Robinson on the right.
Lin Rui then started running.
Randolph's unball cover, Lin Rui threw it from the top of the arc to the left.
When there is no ball, Lin Rui will use running to attract the opponent's attention.
Randolph's blocking was not blocking, and Ginobili's pursuit came.
Nate Robinson broke through and passed the ball to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui failed to get rid of Ginobili at this time.
Lin Rui did not take action immediately when he received the ball, but instead bent over and threatened three times.
"Rookie, don't even think about creating another foul." Ginobili shouted at Lin Rui.
Ginobili made sure you didn't go to get the ball this time.
Then he would definitely not hit Lin Rui in the hand.
Although Ginobili carefully avoided.
But Lin Rui smiled.
Want to hide, can you hide?
Lin Rui grabbed the ball and rubbed it on himself, and his hands were swept back!
Lin Rui once again successfully hung up Ginobili's right hand.
Pull the shot on the spot.
“Beebeep!!”
The referee continued to call Ginobili for a foul.
Lin Rui got three free throws.
Ginobili held his head in confusion and looked at the referee: "I didn't take the ball, this is what he came by himself."
“Beautiful job!”
"Just mess with him like this!"
“Good!!”
The fans on the scene saw clearly that Lin Rui's shooting was obviously a foul, not a normal shooting move.
The ball flew directly outside the field, completely irrelevant.
Popovich was also furious: "This is a striking cart, a striking cart!!!"
The referee ignored Popovich and Ginobili. According to the rules, this kind of ball is a three-pointer foul.
"Haha, Kenny, I never thought that Popovich and Manu would be so angry because of a rookie." Barkley smiled.
"They were so angry that Lin's foul, they had no demeanor at all." Kenny Smith said.
"Damn demeanor, if I encounter such a whistleblow, I will be furious." Barkley sympathized with the Spurs players.
"Lin really doesn't look like a rookie at all. He's like an old frivolous guy who knows the rules of the league." Kenny Smith said.
Both commentators were happy to eat melons.
The big screen on the scene was constantly replaying the foul just now.
Lin Rui didn't even dribble after receiving the ball, and Ginobili did not try to steal, but he was still very close. He just opened his hands to defend normally. Lin Rui grabbed the ball and rubbed Ginobili's hand and then forced a three-point foul.
Fans also think this is a foul because Ginobili doesn't even have the intention to steal.
But the whistle is good for us.
The fans at the scene were cheering wildly.
The Spurs players quit.
Duncan stared at the referee with wide eyes off the court, and he couldn't believe that there would be such a penalty.
Parker, Horry and others also went to siege the referee.
"This is not a normal shooting move."
"He expanded his cylinder."
"This is a slap."
"You can't blow this way."
The referee also knew the reason for his siege, but he remained patient and explained the rules to the Spurs.
After a while of trouble, the Spurs gave up and they could not change the judgment.
Popovich walked around in anger and continued to put pressure on the referee.
Lin Rui doesn't care about the anger of the Spurs players.
Under the current rules, it is allowed to mess around.
Who told you that you were such an old hooligan, otherwise Lin Rui would not have touched the situation.
Stand on the free throw line.
Lin Rui scored three free throws.
30 to 35
"Lin, do it like this, follow your ideas." Head coach Thomas on the sideline encouraged Lin Rui.
In Thomas's view, Lin Rui is a very creative player. Few players can make the defending champion Spurs so defeated, but Lin Rui did it.
Ginobili dribbles to the frontcourt.
Lin Rui's guard.
Ginobili claims to have a good temper, but now Ginobili gets angry when he sees Lin Rui. He never thought that he would hate a rookie so much.
Lin Rui did not get too close to this Argentine, and he was afraid that he would be hit by Ginobili, after all, he suffered a loss.
Of course, Ginobili had a similar idea, and he did not go to Lin Rui's physical contact.
Ginobili wants Horry's cover.
After covering up, Lin Rui and Jeffries switched defense.
Jeffries had no way to defend Ginobili from his agile footsteps.
