Lin Rui has many fans, and James has many fans.

James' fans are always confident about James, and they think James is better than Lin Rui.

James' confidence comes from James' excellent performance in the playoffs.

In the sixth game of the series against the Magic, James averaged 35 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists triple-double data. 13 rebounds were also the highest rebounds in James' personal series. In addition, he also contributed 3 steals, and the comprehensiveness of this data is second only to Lin Rui.

In terms of personal offensive skills, they are constantly being taken out to compare with Lin Rui.

James was ridiculed, criticized and abused by the public.

Compared with the all-round Lin Rui, James' low-post skills and back-on-single skills have been questioned by the outside world.

James spent a whole season to change his offensive skills. James also developed low-post offensive skills, especially back-to-body skills, which made his offensive skills more comprehensive. With poor shooting percentage, he entered the basket and caused damage to become a major killer weapon for James, which also increased James' lethality dramatically. This style of play undoubtedly made James more adaptable to the playoffs.

This is what Lin Rui discovered when studying the Cavaliers' offensive video.

Lin Rui remembered that at this time of his previous life, James did not attack so strongly at a low post. Obviously, because of his joining, the butterfly began to have an effect.

James and the Cavaliers are very strong, but Lin Rui is full of confidence in himself and the team.

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

Time soon came to the day of g1 in the Eastern Finals.

May 16.

James led a group of Cavaliers players to visit Madison Garden Arena.

"Crack!"

James's star flavor is more intense than the Big Three, and the flash is more focused.

It is easier for the media to compare him with Lin Rui.

As soon as James stopped, the reporters surrounded him.

"LeBron, do you think you have a chance to win a series?" asked an espn reporter.

The reporter's question was very arrogant, but this is the fact that many teams struggled to win even a game when facing the Knicks.

Hearing this, James said unhappily: "Of course, we not only want to win, but also win the series!"

The playoff defeat of the Magic gave James a strong sense of self-confidence.

A reporter from New York Sports asked: "Will you try to have a one-on-one with Lin on the court?"

James said: "I am a team player and I put the team's victory first."

The reporter then asked: "Who do you think is better than Lin Rui?"

James said seriously: "Me!"

Knicks' side.

Tucker shouted when facing the reporter: "We will still complete the sweep. Cleveland will not be our opponent. I can't remember how many times I have defeated them."

Tucker really doesn't like the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers have lost too many games to the Knicks.

The Cavaliers want to win? What do they win?

The g1 game started soon.

Both teams know each other very well.

There is not much new in the lineup layout.

The Knicks' starting lineup: Lin Rui, Curry, Tucker, Randolph, and Yao Dayao.

The Cavaliers have a strong inside line, and D'Antoni chooses a more conservative formation.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Morris Williams, Anthony Parker, James, Jamison, O'Neal.

O'Neal and Jamison's inside partner are very powerful.

O'Neal and Yao's jump ball.

Yao Yao has had a much longer rest time than O'Neal this season, and his physical condition is better than O'Neal who is about to retire.

Yao Dayao transferred the ball to Lin Rui behind him.

The Knicks have the double point guard lineup, Lin Rui is the main control and Curry is the second control.

The reason why D'Antoni put Curry on the court was mainly because Curry's accurate three-pointers and good breakthrough ability, which could help Lin Rui share the pressure on the offensive end.

After Lin Rui arrived at the front court, he did not stick the ball, so he gave the ball to Curry on the right, and then Lin Rui quickly ran.

Lin Rui can play with balls and no balls. Today, the Cavaliers' lineup is obviously not that good at running, so he uses this high-speed movement to deal with them.

Curry played very calmly, and he was directing his teammates to provide Lin Rui with no ball cover.

Lin Rui walked around Yao's body and received a pass from the right side.

Anthony Parker was chasing Lin Rui.

Lin Rui made a fake shot when he caught the ball. Anthony Parker was not fooled, he just didn't jump.

The Cavaliers' defensive strategy is to defend Lin Rui's three-pointer. They would rather let Lin Rui break through and challenge the inside than take the outside easily.

All the Cavaliers players are arranged in this way.

Lin Rui did not take action, this was just a fake move.

Lin Rui's fake moves failed to deceive him, so he immediately broke through to the right.

Anthony Parker couldn't keep up with Lin Rui's first step now, and Lin Rui successfully broke through to the inside.

Jamison quickly assisted in defense, and Lin Rui gave the ball to Randolph in the open space.

Yao Da carried O'Neal behind him, and Randolph took the ball and made a layup to score the ball.

0 to 2.

Fans at Madison Garden Arena cheered quickly.

Although the goal was extremely simple, the coordination was very exciting. Lin Rui accurately cracked the opponent's defense.

Cavaliers attack.

Mo Williams dribbled past half the ball to James.

Tucker is keeping a guard against James.

Jamison came up to cover James.

After James dribbled across, he broke out and made a strong Turrandolph.

Randolph's lateral movement speed failed to keep up, and James suddenly entered, Yao Da's assisted defense.

James gave O'Neal a low hand.

O'Neal dragged his heavy body and caught the ball with both hands and buckled it violently!!

"box!!"

2 to 2.

James responded to a wonderful assist response to Lin Rui.

The camera kept focusing on Lin Rui and James, and the competition between the two was full of meaning.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled through half the game.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Yao Yao brought in cover.

After cover, Yao Yu was in a hurry, and the Cavaliers chose to switch defenses, while O'Neal defended Lin Rui from the outside.

When Lin Rui saw that it was a misplaced, he immediately called for a single.

The Knicks players scattered one after another.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Facing O'Neal, Lin Rui could pass it in one step, but he didn't.

Lin Rui chose to use continuous forward change to pull O'Neal's center of gravity.

O'Neal has rich defensive experience, and he can see clearly that Lin Rui wants to find a three-pointer opportunity.

O'Neal kept pressing forward with his body to narrow down Lin Rui's dribbling space.

After all, O'Neal's body was there, and Lin Rui did not find any opportunity on the outside.

Lin Rui quickly broke through to the right and passed O'Neal.

James's assistant defense.

James has been paying attention to Lin Rui's pass, and is a little distracted. In such a distracted situation, James can't stop Lin Rui.

Lin Rui grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high, took a step to close the ball, knocked James away with one hand and slashed hard!!
