Chapter 498 2 to 0(1/3)
Coach Brown on the sidelines has a headache.
Lin Rui once again led the entire team, which made the Cavaliers' defense very difficult to defend.
Cavaliers attack.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Fans at Madison Garden Arena sent a shocking boo.
The psychological pressure faced by Cavaliers players is getting greater and greater.
James dribbled to the frontcourt, and Lin Rui continued to keep a guard.
James tried to make a breakthrough in Lin Rui's direction change, and his continuous large-scale direction change was not successful.
Lin Rui's horizontal movement was very fast.
Jamison quickly lifted the pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll tactic was initiated, James was misplaced to beat Randolph, and Lin Rui replaced Jamison.
James did not give the ball to Jamison, he knew that Jamison could not play Lin Rui singles.
James chose to vote for Randolph himself.
James made a step and threw it.
Randolph mainly defended James' breakthrough and did not have much restrictions on James' shooting.
James made a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
53 to 59
James' offense slightly calmed the momentum.
Lin Rui still admires James' inner strength.
He remembered that he beat James to tears last year, but he didn't know what would happen if he beat him again this year.
Knicks attack.
Lin Rui dribbled through half the game.
Lin Rui took advantage of Randolph's cover and made another three-pointer with a horizontal three-pointer on the right.
Jamison came up a little slower.
Lin Rui seized the opportunity after this slower.
"Swish!"
53 to 62.
Lin Rui responded to James again.
....
....
During the entire first half, both teams were very fast.
After the first half, the score was frozen at 61 to 71, and the Knicks led by 10 points into the locker room.
Lin Rui scored 26 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the first half. Curry scored 12 points and Yao Yao scored 8 points.
On the Cavaliers, James scored 32 points and 8 assists alone, and his score was more than half of the team.
James felt great in the first half, and his performance was the key to the Cavaliers being able to bite the game.
Although Lin Rui's data is not as good as James, the Knicks' score is ahead, which is enough.
Lin Rui is more like a marshal on the court, firmly directing the team to suppress the opponent.
The fans on the scene and domestic fans were very satisfied with the Knicks' performance.
Although Lin Rui did not score crazy points in the last game, his balls were very reasonable, making people feel that a point guard should play like this.
After all, there are five people in basketball. If you just watch one person’s personal show, it will be difficult for this team to reach the end.
Lin Rui had many assists of the top five goals in the first half.
These assists are pleasing to the eye.
Barkley said: "The difference between the Knicks and the previous two years is that their leader is more mature. Compared with the previous games, Lin Rui played very well, but he was very stable."
Smith said: "Lin Rui has more helpers, and these helpers make their offensive and defensive points stronger than the Cavaliers."
The commentator was constantly analyzing the situation of the two teams.
In the visiting team locker room.
James was not happy.
He worked very hard, but the team still lags behind by as much as double-digit points. If the Knicks' offense cannot be stopped in the second half, the game may be over.
"LeBron, don't be impatient. Believe in yourself. You have the chance to do better." O'Neal came over and said to James.
"Shake, have you ever had a bigger problem than this?" James asked.
"Of course, I've encountered it, but Kobe and I have solved it well, so you can do it," said O'Neal.
O'Neal rarely joked with James in a smile tone, but told James with a serious attitude!
These troubles are not big, but they need to be solved with a good attitude.
When setting up the tactics, coach Brown also said: "Defense, we need to improve our defensive intensity and not allow them to score so easily. If we continue to play like this, we will be very difficult for this round of series not only tonight."
The Cavaliers' defense made Coach Brown feel cold.
In the Knicks locker room.
The players' mentality is quite calm.
For Knicks players, they have experienced such games too many times.
The Knicks are now full of confidence. The Cavaliers are just one of the ordinary opponents and will eventually fall in front of them.
D'Antoni emphasized during his tactical arrangement: "Everyone played very well in the first half, so we will continue to maintain it."
"As long as we can keep scoring goals, they will lose the game."
"Of course, our defense will continue to strengthen, and we have given LeBron too many points."
D'Antoni emphasized more about James' defense.
The second half of the game started quickly.
In the first round of the game, James wanted to attack Lin Rui, but Lin Rui intercepted the ball one-on-one.
Lin Rui did not fight back immediately, and the Cavaliers' return to defense had already fallen and there was no best chance.
Knicks attack.
The Cavaliers' defensive strength has also increased. It can be seen that they want to work hard to catch up with points.
James leads the defense of Lin Rui.
James felt embarrassed by being intercepted by Lin Rui.
James made Lin Rui very moves, but Lin Rui just didn't fall for it. He didn't fight directly with James.
Lin Rui called out Yao's cover, and Yao quickly brought it up.
Lin Rui kept avoiding James' pressing around Yao's body.
Yao Yao has the ability to shoot, and Lin Rui has many passes today, and there are problems with the Cavaliers' defense.
After Lin Rui slightly attracted the center of gravity of the defensive, he gave the ball to Yao, who was on the free throw line.
Yao Yao flew a shot from the free throw line and flew O'Neal directly, and stepped on his right side!!
Jamison raised his hand high at the basket, but Yao was too high, and he had no way to do other defensive moves, and if he did it, he would be a foul.
Yao easily put the ball into the basket.
That's right, just put it in.
Yao's height is too high, and the basketball looks like it is placed from top to bottom.
61 to 73.
Cavaliers attack.
James held the ball on the right and observed.
Jamison cut inside.
James smashed the ball into Jamison.
Jamison took the ball and tapped Randolph, and played cricket in the middle distance with a misaligned emergency stop.
