March 2.

The Knicks face the New Orleans Hornets back-to-back at home.

This is a live match across the United States, and all fans want to see the showdown between Lin Rui and Paul.

"The Knicks' starting lineup tonight are Nate Robinson, Lin Rui, Fred Jones, David Lee, Zach Randolph!"

In the locker room, it was not until the last moment that head coach Thomas announced the starter.

Crawford averaged 16 points per game this season, Richardson averaged 14 points per game this season. Both are the main players in the Knicks' rotation. Their absence has put Thomas in huge trouble.

"Lin, you need to control the rhythm in this game, try not to play fast breaks with your opponent. You can give the ball to Zach or David in the inside." Thomas said.

"Ok!" Lin Rui nodded.

Over the whole season, Lin Rui has become accustomed to helping the team with all kinds of troubles.

For Lin Rui, the team's inside line is still there, so there is not much trouble. At worst, he will take over the team's outside offense.

Thomas rarely made specific tactical arrangements for Lin Rui. Most of the time, Lin Rui was on the court and took care of it, which gave Lin Rui a high degree of freedom.

After the tactics were arranged, the appearance ceremony was ready.

The appearance ceremony took place very quickly.

Paul was booed.

As a point guard, Lin Rui often compares it with Paul, Kidd, Deron, Nash and others.

Lin Rui is often suppressed by traditional point guards in media and public opinion because of his qualifications and style of playing.

The media thinks Lin Rui is an excellent player, but he is not an excellent point guard.

In the eyes of many old-fashioned media, they don’t watch data, they only watch football style.

Lin Rui's excessive turnover rate is also one of the reasons for being picky. Compared with these traditional point guards, Lin Rui seems very alternative and too fancy.

Lin Rui naturally ignored these media.

When they become famous, these media naturally think of any topics to hype.

New York fans don't like Paul.

Although I don't like it, I have to admit that Paul is strong. Paul averaged 22 points, 11.6 assists, 4 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game this season.

His average assists per game is only behind Lin Rui.

.........

The tnt commentary station also moved to the Madison Garden Arena.

"The Knicks were not in good shape last night. They only scored more than 80 points, and then they lost two main players."

"Lin Rui's performance in the last game was not good, and he needed to defeat this strong enemy with better performance."

"Yes, the Knicks need to win to consolidate their second-place ranking in the Eastern Conference."

Barkley and Smith were chatting.

If it were in the past, after the Knicks lost two players, they would directly say that the Knicks would lose, but now with Lin Rui there, they wouldn't say that.

Lin Rui has proved that with him, the Knicks, is a strong team.

After the appearance ceremony.

Lin Rui silently recited: "Use [Fiery Hand] (Advanced)."

Lin Rui wants to try out how the effect of this skill is.

Lin Rui could feel a soft energy coming into his body.

My touch and rhythm have changed a little differently.

Lin Rui felt that scoring a goal seemed very simple.

The Hornets' starting five players are Paul, Peterson, Peja, David West, and Tyson Chandler.

From Lin Rui's perspective, the Hornets' starting lineup is a championship-level starter, which is not worse than the Celtics and the Lakers.

David West is good at attacking, Tyson Chandler is good at defense, and Peja is also a historical shooter...

It is very difficult to win this game.

Beep!!

With the referee's whistle sounded.

Randolph and Chandler jumped up.

Randolph won the jump, and Randolph transferred the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

"attack!"

"attack!"

"attack!"

After so long education, the Knicks fans have now formed a united front with the players.

Lin Rui's Arc Top organized attack.

The lack of Crawford and Richardson did make Lin Rui less attacking.

Lin Rui didn't dare to give Nate and Jones, as they were difficult for them to launch an attack independently in the face of the Hornets.

"Lin, don't think about feeding the ball. Your teammates won't do it tonight, you have to come." Paul applauded at Lin Rui.

Paul has set up a defensive posture and he will stare at Lin Rui tonight.

Although he admires Lin Rui, Paul is still resentful of Lin Rui's defeat at the All-Star Game to face him.

That was his home court, and then he was killed in front of home fans, which was really embarrassing.

Lin Rui ignored Paul's provocation and signaled Randolph to come up and roll.

Randolph lifted up, Lin Rui dribbled across the ball, and then took a sudden step.

Lin Rui's CET is very accurate, Tyson Chandler came out to assist in defense.

Lin Rui found Randolph in the air. Randolph received the ball from the inside and then flicked West and made a layup after playing cricket.

0 to 2.

Although it feels good, Lin Rui still makes balls for the inside first as usual.

Randolph turned around and slapped Lin Rui to celebrate.

The reason why Lin Rui is considered to have outstanding leadership abilities is that in addition to the team's good record, it also affects his teammates.

Randolph is transforming from a disgusting character to a good person.

New York media has no idea that it hasn't been long since they caught the negative news about Randolph.

Randolph also contributed a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds per game on the court. His data has declined, but his efficiency has improved.

Then, he was more popular with fans.

Fans used to want to trade him, but now they cheered him.

Randolph told reporters on many occasions that Lin Rui was the player who changed the most to him.

Lin Rui influenced his career.

On the field, the Hornets attacked.

Paul also played a pick-and-roll with David West.

After the pick-and-roll, Nate Robinson and David Lee's defense replacement was not timely.

Paul sent the ball from the middle of the two with a blow, and David West made a mid-range jump shot.

"Swish!"

2 to 2.

Paul also responded to Lin Rui with an extremely exciting pass.

Paul's expression was very serious, and he immediately directed his teammates to set up defenses.

Knicks' offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Nate Robinson, and Nate Robinson immediately came back after receiving the ball.

In this round, Lin Rui did not want to pick-and-roll, but instead wanted to open the distance from outside the three-point line on the right.

Lin Rui held the ball and faced Paul's three threats.

Paul was very close, and he reached out to cut the ball.

Lin Rui had a big loop of hands, and he was about to commit a three-point foul, but Paul was quick-eyed and he quickly retreated.
