Chapter 437 3 to 0, the sweep is imminent(2/2)
Lakers attack.
After Kobe dribbled the ball through half the game, he gave the ball to Odom, who was inside.
Now Odom is going to catch the misalignment with Tony Allen.
When Odom was playing the ball, Lin Rui went directly to attack him.
Odom's dribbling rhythm was destroyed.
Odom's turnover jump shot bounced on the basket.
Lin Rui caught the rebound.
The Knicks have figured out how the Lakers play. It’s right that the Lakers’ inside line is strong, they don’t have an outside line.
What needs to be done now is to continuously shrink the inside line.
D'Antoni called Randolph to stand on the sidelines and prepare to continue the rotation. Next, he competed with the Lakers in the inside.
Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Ariza's pounce was too fierce.
Ariza was slapped for a foul.
Tony Allen was replaced by Randolph.
At this point, the Knicks have set up the three-high lineups of Randolph, Jordan and Gasol Jr. to deal with the Lakers' three-high lineups.
The Lakers' outside line is Kobe and Ariza, while the Knicks' outside line is Lin Rui and Crawford!
It depends on which team has a stronger ability to grasp the opportunity.
The Lakers also took a breath when they saw the Knicks' three-high lineup. The only one in the league can get such a height.
You know, Yao was still on the court and didn't play.
The Knicks are really well prepared to deal with the Lakers!!
The Knicks continued to attack.
Lin Rui gave the ball to Randolph at the low post in the inside.
The inside line is too crowded, and the muscles are everywhere.
Randolph plays Odom alone. Although Odom is also considered an inside player, his tonnage is obviously not as good as Randolph.
Randolph hit in continuously, and Kobe had to go over and interfere.
Randolph gave the ball to Crawford.
Crawford's shot fake action attracted Ariza's defense.
Crawford then quickly passed the ball to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui was emptied at the 45-degree angle on the oblique side.
After a series of round balls, the Lakers still had loopholes on the defensive end.
Lin Rui calmed down on the face and made three points!!
111 to 97.
Staples' cheers were stopped by Lin Rui.
"pause!!"
The Zen master also called for a stop to the competition.
Zhang Weiping said: "The Lakers' defensive rotation has big problems. They shouldn't let Lin Rui go. How could they make Lin Rui take action so easily?"
Xu Jicheng said: "They don't want Lin Rui to take action, but there is no way. The Knicks' tactical rotation is too fast now. The drawbacks of Phil Jackson keeping the Lakers' core players on the court have also appeared. Their physical fitness has passed quickly, which makes them unable to maintain absolute concentration on the defensive end."
After Lin Rui hit this three-pointer, he raised his hand and slapped his teammates to celebrate!!!
This game is stable!!
After the timeout, the Lakers rotated, and their core lineup could not catch up with the score, and they could only bite it. Although the whole team worked very hard, they still couldn't catch up with the score.
D'Antoni replaced Yao Yao at the right time, and the Knicks began to hit the inside.
Yao Yao received an offensive foul with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, and 6 fouls left the field.
Randolph stopped the foul with 3 minutes and 44 seconds left in the game, and 6 fouls left the field.
Tucker also left the game with 6 fouls when there were still 3 minutes and 12 seconds left.
Three of the Knicks' starting five players were sent out, but in the end, Lin Rui still controlled the situation steadily.
Both the media and fans can find that even though the Knicks' starting players have been sent out so many times, the strength of their rotation lineup will not be too big.
In the end, the score was frozen at 128 to 118.
The Knicks beat the Lakers by 10 points away.
The series won a 3-0 lead.
The fans at Staples Arena were wailing!!!
Lakers fans all feel very depressed!!
The Knicks won the proud 15 consecutive playoffs, and they were only one game away from the last game, and they would win the unprecedented 16 consecutive playoffs wins!!
The moment the whistle sounded, the Knicks team and staff rushed to the field!
Everyone knows that they have secured the championship, and now it depends on whether they can win the championship in 16 consecutive games!!!
Lin Rui was also very excited!!
At this moment, he waited for a long time!!
He believes that the Lakers no longer have the ability to turn the tables!!
Lin Rui rode directly on Randolph, and Randolph rushed into the locker room with Lin Rui on his back!!
The two yelled and celebrated the victory of the game.
Competition statistics:
On the Lakers, Kobe scored 44 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, Gasol scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, Bynum scored 10 points and 7 rebounds, and Odom scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
The Lakers scored as much as 54 points in the inside game, and then they also had 42 free throws.
There are only 13 free throws on the Knicks, and the difference in the number of free throws between the two teams is too big.
Of course, this is also related to the way the two teams play, and the Knicks are more focused on shooting.
Lin Rui's shooting percentage in this game was as high as 70%, with 14 of 20 three-pointers, 7 of 10 two-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring a total of 62 points, 18 assists and 11 rebounds.
Randolph scored 10 points, Yao Yao scored 8 points, Gasol scored 10 points, and Jordan scored 8 points.
The Knicks' inside scores are very average, mainly because their playing time is very average!
At the post-match press conference.
The reporter asked D'Antoni: "Coach, you are now locked in the championship. What do you want to say?"
"We didn't lock in, and although we got the advantage of the series, we still need to win one more game. We won't be careless and will be ready."
The reporter then asked: "You are one last step away from 16 consecutive victories. How did you do it?"
D'Antoni said: "We have a bunch of hard-working players, and we are all trying our best to win, and then, MVP is on our team, so we have won every game."
The reporter asked: "Comment on Lin Rui's performance tonight."
"There is no need to say anything more, this is Lin's regular performance every night, he dominated the game, and he made our victory easier."
D'Antoni was a little weak when he blew.
Lin Rui's performance was shocking, but if he had more shocks, he would become numb.
It might be better to talk about Lin Rui when he scores only 40 points one day.
D'Antoni couldn't blow, but the other Knicks players could blow.
Tucker said: "I love Lin, he is the sexiest man in the NBA. I'm asking him for the underwear for this game tonight, but unfortunately he won't give it to me, hahaha!"
Randolph said: "I said Lin is greater than Michael Jordan. Will you believe it? Anyway, I have always believed it."
Yao said: "He will be one of the strongest players in history. Without comparing other players with him, he is on another level."
Lin Rui's performance has long conquered his teammates. Only by playing with Lin Rui can you truly feel how powerful Lin Rui is. This kind of power is far from being seen by just looking at the data.
And the Lakers.
The Zen master said disheartenedly: "We fought hard, we lost control of the situation tonight! Next game? I didn't think about those."
The Zen master was very depressed, which was also the atmosphere of the Lakers.
However, there are still some people in the Lakers who haven't given up.
After winning the championship last year, Kobe enjoyed the sweetness of winning the championship, and he still had to strive for his fifth championship.
Kobe and a group of Lakers players did not accept interviews. Kobe held a player meeting that only Lakers players can participate!
Chapter completed!
