A different point guard road

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

The Knicks completed the sweep, and the Knicks' next round opponent magic also completed the sweep.

Although the Magic's series against the Heat is not as exaggerated as the Knicks, they won every game.

The Heat are the only one Wade can play, and the Magic has a deep lineup. Howard guards the basket, Tkoglu organizes franchise, and veteran shooters such as Nelson and Lewis perform stably!

The night when the Knicks won the Bulls, the Magic also announced that they had advanced, but the showdown between the two teams would not start so early, so we need to wait a little while for the pace of the other teams.

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

"The Knicks and the Magic both swept the opponents in the first round, and the Knicks won more quickly, but we can't take the Knicks as a matter of course to defeat the Magic."

"Lin Rui led the Knicks to play an incredible first-round performance. Their current lineup is no less than any team, especially the inside. They have two All-Star inside players Zach Randolph and Yao Ming, and two potential centers Marc Gasol and DAndrew Jordan. These four people will bring Dwight Howard to a huge challenge."

"Whether the Magic can win depends on whether Dwight Howard can attract the attack to create space for the shooters on the outside."

"The internal and external duel between the Knicks and the Magic is very exciting. I look forward to the duel between these two teams!"

While the media were discussing the Knicks and Magic Series.

The major awards of NBA have also been announced.

The first official award announced is "Rookie of the Year" - Derek Rose (Bulls)

Not many people doubt that the best rookie of the year is Rose!

Although Ross is far less amazing than last year's rookie Lin Rui, except for the bug Lin Rui, Ross' performance is not inferior to the No. 1 pick in other years.

With the Bulls this season, Rose averaged 36.8 minutes, 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists.

He performed well enough, most importantly, he helped the Bulls into the playoffs.

Ross also performed well in the playoffs.

The second award was the best sixth man - Jason Terry (Mavericks)

Espn commented: "Jets" Terry averaged 19.8 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. His performance was excellent enough. He was the sixth man, which was a bit useless. However, Nowitzki's goal ability is super strong. Terry will lead the team and bring help to the Mavericks when Nowitzki is resting!

"Fastest Progress Award" was given to Devin Harris (Nets)

Espn comments: Harris averaged 22.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.6 steals this season, which is an All-Star level! It is a pity that Durant did not get this award. Durant has entered the league for two years and is now ranked in the league's average score per game. The top five are all top superstars in the league, Lin Rui, Wade, James, Kobe, and Nowitzki.

"Best Coach in the Regular Season" Mike D'Anthony (Knicks)

Espn comments: Although D'Antoni's team has the best players in the league, he cannot ignore his influence on the team, thus creating such a super team!! This season, the Knicks broke countless records, and D'Antoni was still not respected enough. His transformation of the Knicks was successful. The Knicks' dependence on Lin Rui was much lower than last season, and their winning numbers increased. Even D'Antoni was the most difficult defense, this season, the Knicks also pressed their opponent's shooting percentage to the second-last in the league. No team could easily escape from the Madison Garden Arena. Now, the Knicks are the team with the most hope of winning the championship, and D'Antoni made an indelible contribution.

"Best General Manager" Isaiah Thomas (Knicks)

Espn comments: Isaiah Thomas traded Yao Ming, Gasol Jr., Jordan Jr., and signed Tony Allen, Korver, Tucker and others with perfect operations.

As the head coach of the Knicks last season, Isaiah Thomas now knows too well what positions the Knicks need to strengthen, and then he did a good job. We have no reason to give this award to others.

....

....

Awards came out one by one.

Most of them have nothing to do with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui fans are all waiting for that highest personal honor - regular season mvp!

Although all Lin Rui fans know that this supreme honor will not fall, it is still itchy before it is announced.

However, before the regular season comes, the best defensive player is waiting for the first time

Best defensive player - Lin Rui (Knicks)

Originally, Howard was the most promising player to win the best defensive player, but he was hit 80 in a single game by Lin Rui...

That game surprised the media and fans.

Howard was targeted in that game and was beaten by Lin Rui in various ways.

The media really couldn't vote for Howard.

Since you can't vote for Howard, then you vote for Lin Rui who performed well.

The Knicks led by Lin Rui often give their opponents a nightmare experience on the outside, especially Lin Rui's steals. His number of steals is the highest in the league, and his average contribution of nearly 4 steals per game!

This kind of steal means you have 4 more rounds than your opponent!

In addition to steals, Lin Rui also has the same height, strength, and speed and reaction as the forward.

This allows Lin Rui to always create a huge sense of oppression when facing offensive players.

Lin Rui's height can withstand even when he encounters some center strikers' backs! The center with a smaller strength cannot hit him at all.

After winning this award, Lin Rui became the second point guard best defensive player after Payton.

Lin Rui won this award without causing much controversy. After all, there are not many guards in the NBA who want to play against Lin Rui.

Whether in offense or defense, Lin Rui easily beats his opponent to psychological collapse.

"Lin Rui deserves it!"

"I have seen too many games where Lin Rui defended his opponents to collapse this season."

"Lin Rui's offense is very talented, and his defense is also very good."

"Lin Rui has the most steals, and the blocking is also the most among the defenders. It's really very powerful!"

"I remember that there are few players who can meet Lin Rui to play good data. Of course, when the counter player data is good, Lin Rui's data is explosive, that is, Lin Rui doesn't focus on defense."

"Lin Rui is so handsome, this award is also valuable."

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

On May 2, at 3 pm, Lin Rui, who was still in training, was called to the Knicks President's Office by phone.

In this office, Dolan, Isaiah Thomas, D'Antoni and a group of Knicks executives are on the list!

Everyone's eyes were staring at the landline in the president's office!!

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The phone finally rang!!

Isaiah Thomas answered the phone.

Everyone was quiet.

"The winner of the regular season's most valuable player this season is Lin Rui of the Knicks!"

"Eleced unanimously!"

"Isaiah, congratulations to you, I will come to your award ceremony tomorrow!"

"Thanks!!"

Isaiah Thomas hung up the phone.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Applause began to sound in the office, and Lin Rui also smiled on his face!

“Mvp!”

“Mvp!”

“Mvp!”

Under the leadership of James Dolan, the Knicks executives went crazy.

This award is very important to Lin Rui and then to the Knicks.

The Knicks have not had a top superstar since Ewing.

MVP is one of the symbols of top superstars!

Without mvp, it would be a parallel product.

After applauding and celebrating, the CEO also launched a car of champagne!!

Everyone started celebrating directly in the president's office!

at the same time.

Lin Rui also sent out the official announcement of the regular season MVP.

The media, fans, and Lin Rui's teammates all sent congratulations to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui’s performance this season is undisputed.

Lin Rui is not only the scoring king, assisting king and stealing king, but also averaged triple-double per game, leading the team to a super luxurious record of 73 wins and 9 losses.

These also made Lin Rui's unanimous election take for granted.

No matter how picky the media are, they really can't find a reason to vote for other people.

"Double Happy Comes, Lin Rui was elected the Best Defensive Player and the Most Valuable Player in the Regular Season!"

"Finally won the mvp, Lin Rui deserves it!!!"

"Lin Rui's most hardcore personal honor to date!"

"The alliance is about to enter the era of Lin Rui, I believe this will not be the first time!"

"Lin Rui conquered everyone who plays this season!"

"NBA: Lin Rui won the 2008-09 regular season mvp!"

"Unprecedented for unanimous votes!!"

"Mvp that conquers everyone!!"

"Lin Rui plays an epic season!"

The news that Lin Rui was elected to MVP immediately caused a sensation in the country.

Although fans all know that Lin Rui will win the MVP of this season, when this award really comes, the fans are still a little excited.

After all, this is an honor that Yao Yao has never had!

All major forums and portals have topped the news that Lin Rui obtained MVP.

The fans are discussing this matter very actively.

Lin Rui’s playing basketball is not only very enjoyable, but also brings unique cultural exchanges.

More and more domestic sponsors have reached in-depth cooperation with NBA.

Many NBA teams also focus on going to China to inspect players to see if a second Lin Rui appears.

May 3, morning!

In the awards hall.

Lin Rui walked onto the podium in a suit and tie.

Taylor Swift, Scarlett, Li Feifei, Zeng Xiaoran and other girls who had stories with him were sitting in the audience.

The Knicks' teammates were also wearing training suits and waving to Lin Rui.

All the media also pressed the flash and took pictures of Lin Rui's appearance in formal attire.

Lin Rui took over the trophy from the president!

"Crack!"

After completing the process, Lin Rui also started his own MVP speech.

“I’m very excited to win this trophy, which is a recognition of my work.”

“This is my childhood dream…”

"I thank my parents, my teammates, coaches..."

Lin Rui's speech lasted for about 20 minutes.

He started with his childhood experience and talked about his fate with basketball.

There is not much special or sensational. Lin Rui just expressed his sincere emotions.

......

After the day after the MVP award ceremony.

The second round of the Knicks and the Magic also started.

The Knicks still have a home advantage.

.........

At the pre-match press conference.

Howard said confidently: "We will definitely win the series. They are not as terrible as you think. We already have a solution to deal with them!"

Howard's self-confidence also made the reporters feel dazed. If Lin Rui hadn't been on the magic head, they would have believed it.

Howard had no objection to Lin Rui getting the MVP, and his dissatisfaction was mainly the best defensive player.

Howard felt that the award should be given to him, not to Lin Rui.

Tkoglu also said: "We are very familiar with them, they are indeed strong, but we are not without opportunities. We have the possibility of winning in the series. Our goal has not changed and we are still pursuing the championship."

Magic players all performed very confidently after spending the first round.

The Magic is indeed in the best state now. Lin Rui remembers that this team reached the finals in his previous life and only lost after six games against the Lakers.

Magic made all kinds of provocative remarks.

The Knicks didn't give in too much.

Randolph said: "We didn't take them seriously. They have always been our losers. Last season, and this season will be."

"They are just doing self-comfort, and their actions are not as tough as their mouths," Tucker said.

"We'll press them to the ground and rub them hard," Richardson said.

The Knicks really don't need to be afraid of Magic, they have the most luxurious inside line in the league.

.........

The commentary guests of tnt studio are ready.

Barkley said: "Although I'm a Knicks fan, I support the Magic tonight. I hope they cause more trouble for the Knicks and it makes the game look better."

Smith said: "Yes, the last round was really eye-catching. I hope this won't happen tonight."

Barkley said: "In terms of overall strength, the Knicks are stronger than the Magic, but the playoffs are never just about the game of strength."

Smith said: "Let's see if Howard can withstand the Knicks' internal and external impact."

.........

After the appearance ceremony.

D'Antoni set up tactics for all players: "Please transfer the ball from the outside as much as possible. If you have the opportunity to take decisive action, you can't hesitate."

Howard still had an impact on the Knicks' arrangement.

"Don't be immersed in joy just because we swept our opponents in the last round."

"It's all going to start over!"

D'Antoni readjusted the Knicks' tactics.

Fighting magic can't be the same as fighting a bull, otherwise you will suffer a big loss.

Knicks starter: Lin Rui, Tony Allen, Korver, Randolph, and Yao.

Magic starters: Nelson, Barnes, Tkogru, Lewis, Howard.

The difference in lineup between the two teams on paper cannot be said to be very big, there are still some of them.

The fans of Madison Garden Arena were cheering!!

In this kind of cheer.

Yao and Howard jumped up!

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

Howard jumped the ball and continued to beat Yao Yao.

As for jumping balls, Yao Yao is really not very strong, mainly because his speed is not good.

Howard transferred the ball to Barnes, and Barnes gave it to Tekoglu.

Tekoglu dribbles in the frontcourt to organize the offense.

Tkoglu invited his teammates to run, and Lewis used Howard's unball cover to appear in the bottom corner.

Tkogru himself forced Korver and then distributed the ball to Lewis.

Lewis shot as soon as he received the ball, Randolph did not follow!!

"Swish!"

3 to 0.

The Magic are too familiar with the Knicks' defense. They play on the outside and don't easily challenge Randolph and Yao Yao's defense.

The Magic suffered enough losses during the regular season.

Randolph's pace is indeed slow, and it is difficult to prevent it.

The Knicks' defense seemed to be broken from the beginning, and the fans at Madison Garden Arena were slightly less voiced.

The two teams are really too familiar with each other and have played too many times.

After Lewis scored, he also took a provocative look at Randolph.

Lewis dared not really conflict with Randolph. He felt that he would definitely not be able to defeat Randolph, but the necessary confidence still needs to be established.

Knicks' offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and pushed the rhythm down.

Lin Rui's rhythm is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the metronome is all in Lin Rui's hands.

Generally speaking, the Knicks mainly play positional offense. When the opponent makes a mistake or grabs a long rebound, the rhythm will be raised in an instant.

Lin Rui is the only one who can play fast attacks in the Knicks lineup.

When Lin Rui has the opportunity to fight back, his speed will burst out at that time.

"Respond to the past!"

"Lin, come on!"

"Sweep them!"

Fans at Madison Garden Arena are constantly rising.

Playing Magic in the playoffs also excited the Knicks fans, and Lin Rui's personal scoring record is reflected in the Magic.

Fans still hope to see Lin Rui slaughter magic tricks break out tonight.

Lin Rui's dribbling was very calm, and Barnes was responsible for marking Lin Rui.

Barnes kept putting pressure on Lin Rui, but Lin Rui didn't take it seriously.

After Lin Rui dribbled over, he organized the ball to conduct the ball and dispatched it to Randolph's hand in the inside line.

Howard is defending Yao, and Randolph is against Lewis, who is slightly worse in defense.

Randolph watched with the ball at a low post and then started playing behind the scenes.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Randolph's strength and weight suppress Lewis.

Randolph slowly squeezed in.

Lin Rui was not idle when Randolph was fighting back.

Tony Allen gave Lin Rui an unball cover, and Lin Rui inserted directly from the top of the arc.

Randolph gave the ball to Lin Rui with a low hand.

Lin Rui received the ball and flew into the air. Barnes had been thrown away by Lin Rui, and Howard was stuck by Yao Da.

Lin Rui turned his sideways to complete the buckle!!

"box!!"

3 to 2.

Magic is familiar with the Knicks, and likewise, the Knicks are familiar with Magic.

The Magic's defense was instantly torn apart by the Knicks.

"Buzz!!"

After dunking, Lin Rui pulled the basket down and protected his body to balance.

but!

"Bang!"

Barnes, who came back, pushed the swaying Lin Rui directly.

Lin Rui took off his hand and flew to the basketball pad.

Lin Rui was not injured, but he was very angry.

"What are you going to do in Farke?"

"What are you doing?"

Lin Rui and Barnes immediately squirted.

“Beebeep!!”

The referee came over and quickly separated the two.

The Knicks players are also protecting Lin Rui.

Barnes applauded Lin Rui fiercely.

Obviously, the Magic is also trying to anger Lin Rui to see if there is a chance to use means other than basketball to get Lin Rui out of the field.

The referee did not go back to watch the video, Barnes's action was too hidden.

The referee just warned Barnes.

The fans at the scene booed!!!

The Knicks fans could see that Barnes was deliberately looking for trouble.

Lin Rui's emotions did not get out of control. He looked at Barnes with a firm look, and then signaled his teammates to return to defense.

Barnes' eyes were full of rebelliousness. He seemed to be irritating Lin Rui. If he was beaten up by Lin Rui, then the limit would be successful.

Magic attack.

Nelson brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Lewis is still running, and Howard continues to provide him with no ball cover.

This time Tony Allen replaced Lewis with defense, and Lewis' jump shot outside the three-point line was disturbed.

"box!!"

The basketball hit the basket heavily.

Howard wanted to grab an offensive rebound, but Yao was firmly stuck in the position.

Randolph jumped out and caught the rebound.

Randolph controlled the rebound and continued to talk to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

When he arrived in the frontcourt, Barnes defended Lin Rui.

Lin Rui waved his hand and wanted to pull it away.

Barnes clapped his hands and signaled Lin Rui to come.

"Lin, I promise, you will be very uncomfortable tonight." Barnes roared at Lin Rui.

From his roar, Lin Rui heard a trace of fear.

Seeing that Lin Rui was about to teach Barnes a lesson, the cheers of the fans at the scene rose again.

Barnes's actions just now were so dirty, and the fans were very upset.

Fans love watching this scene.

"Bang!"

Lin Rui hit Barnes in the dribble.

Although Lin Rui is the point guard, his strength and tonnage have an advantage.

Barnes' chest was hit by Lin Rui, and he was confused.

Barnes could not have imagined that Lin Rui was so arrogant. Lin Rui used the space created by the two of them to complete the explosion and accelerated, and rushed past Barnes on the right.

With Lewis' assisted defense, Lin Rui took the ball and took the European step.

Lin Rui tied the ball from the left and kicked to the right, and took a step and swept the top of Lewis' head.

Lewis watched Lin Rui take off and kick the ground and make a dunk!!

"box!!"

3 to 4.

Others make European layups, while Lin Rui makes European dunks.

Cheers from the fans at the scene kept ringing.

“It’s so cool!”

"This pace, this arm span, tsk!"

"The talent is overflowing."

"Awesome European Step!"

"The magic still can't stop Lin Rui,"

"Lin Rui is going to kill the magic."

The fans cheered.

After Lin Rui dunked, he shouted to Barnes on the way back to defense: "It's much easier to cross you than cross the road."

Barnes's face turned dark, and he couldn't even hold on to La Linrui just now.

The two are not players of the same level.

Magic attack.

Howard wants the ball in the inside.

Tekoglu successfully gave the ball in.

Howard was very difficult to fight against Yao Yao. He hit Howard continuously and then jumped to the front to get a small hook.

Howard had no choice, he couldn't enter the three-second zone.

Yao did not block Howard.

The ball bounced twice on the basket and fell into it.

"Swish!"

5 to 4.

The Magic was in good condition at the beginning, scoring two goals in three rounds.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Yao brought up to cover up.

After cover, Yao Da took Barnes away.

Lin Rui directly faced Howard.

Lin Rui had no ink traces, and he continued to dribble and adjusted the rhythm, which caught the difference between Howard.

He instantly kicked the ground and quickly made a three-pointer.

Howard's defense seemed to be a beat slower.

"Swish!"

5 to 7.

Howard succeeded in Lin Rui’s military training!!

After scoring the goal, Lin Rui waved three fingers to celebrate.

Howard was very depressed, he couldn't defend against this ball at all!

"Don't be discouraged, guarding against him is not something that alone can do." Tkoglu came over to encourage Howard.

Facing offensive players of Lin Rui's level, it is indeed easy to lose confidence in defense.

"I understand." Howard did not laugh, but looked serious.

Howard has been trained by Lin Rui for a long time and has also developed a good attitude.

"Howard is often pulled out by Lin Rui to practice alone, haha."

"Howard's defense is not bad, but he is at a disadvantage against Lin Rui."

"Lin Rui's single-handed challenge is really fierce."

"Ignoring any defense is to easily defeat your opponent."

"Kill him!"

The fans continued to cheer.

On the field.

The magic attack comes again.

Nelson dribbling forward.

Nelson raised the rhythm a little, and Howard gritted his teeth and accelerated.

Lewis still wanted to run, but this time the Knicks' defense was in place and he did not give him any gaps.

Nelson was entangled by Lin Rui, and Howard lifted him up to block Lin Rui.

Nelson broke through on the right side and Yao Yao's assisted defense.

Nelson made a breakthrough very firmly, and he got in and wanted to fly and lay up.

Just when everyone thought Nelson was going to succeed in making a layup.

"Bang!!"

A black shadow appeared and directly blocked Nelson.

The ball bounced out on the rebound.

Yao’s speed is not as fast as Howard. Howard got the offensive rebound and dunked with both hands!!

7 to 7.

The Magic did not listen to Van Gundy's arrangements and kept looking for opportunities on the outside, but they were still used to attacking inside.

Such an impact still has certain effects.

Howard also slammed the frame hard on the basket to celebrate.

Yao's face was not good-looking, and it was his responsibility to wave his hand to his teammates.

Howard scored 4 points in a row, which were all his defensive mistakes.

Howard's athletic ability cannot be underestimated.

Lin Rui encouraged Yao and signaled that it didn't matter.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui held the ball and advanced through the half.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Yao in the inside.

Lin Rui did not hold the ball, but did not stop running.

Yao did not respond impulsively to Howard, but waited for an opportunity.

Lin Rui pulled the magic defense line from the outside, and Korver appeared at a gap of 45 degrees on the oblique side.

Yao Yao gave the ball to the ball.

Korver catches the ball and jump shot.

The pace is great, but!

"box!"

The basketball hit the basket heavily and bounced.

Howard protects the rebound.

Magic counterattack.

Howard hung up a cover for Nelson on the outside.

Nelson broke through and passed the ball to Tkoglu on the right.

Tkoglu bent over and hit Koval, and took a step back to open up space.

Tekoglu's three-point jump shot.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Swish!"

10 to 7.

The magic starts with a great touch, and they take the lead.

"pause!!"

D'Antoni took the initiative to stop the game.

Only Lin Rui scored in the Knicks, and the others seemed to have not adapted to the sudden increase in defensive intensity.

The Bulls and Magic are not on the same level.

"The Knicks showed the consequences of being too easy in the first round, and they probably thought they were playing the Bulls," Smith said.

Barkley said: "The Magic is not something the Bulls can compare. The defense intensity of the two teams is completely different, but the Knicks don't need to panic. Lin Rui played very normally."

Smith said: "Korver's point has been focused on, and Tkogru did not hesitate when he hit him."

Barkley said: "The Knicks' defensive weakness is that it is in the small forward position. If Korver feels bad, he doesn't need to stay on the court."

D'Antoni took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replaced Korver and replaced Richardson.

Richardson's defense is not as top-notch, but it is also above the average level and will not become a loophole like Korver.

D'Antoni believes that there will be no problem with Lin Rui on the Knicks on the offensive end.

In addition to Korver, Yao Yao was also replaced.

Yao Yao's condition did not adjust, and D'Antoni let Gasol Jr. take the lead.

Gasol and Randolph cooperated more tacitly.

D'Antoni has great playoff experience and does not use rigid people. There are many people who can play in the Knicks, so he quickly took turns.

After the timeout, Lin Rui applauded and emphasized to all his teammates: "They are different from the regular season."

"Brothers, we must not be careless. We must do our best to increase our attention and intensity."

"Kill them!"

Lin Rui's motivation has slightly improved the morale of the Knicks players.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Barnes knew that Lin Rui's shot was accurate, so he didn't dare to give Lin Rui any space.

Gasol's Little one.

Lin Rui used the cover to get rid of Barnes, and Lin Rui made a breakthrough while moving forward to observe.

Howard and Lewis's defensive attention was on Lin Rui.

Lin Rui passed the ball to Randolph who cut inward with one strike.

Lewis quickly went to help defend Randolph.

Randolph scored the ball after fighting Lewis!!!

"Beebee!"

The referee called Lewis a foul.

Randolph's two plus one goal!!

Stand on the free throw line.

Randolph made the free throw.

10 to 10.

The Knicks, other players other than Lin Rui, started scoring.

Gasol, a little boy, also helped Landov to pull space out of this ball, which was the tacit understanding between the two of them.

Lin Rui celebrated with Randolph with high-fives.

Magic attack.

Nelson dribbled to the frontcourt and continued to feed Tkoglu.

Tkoglu and Howard's pick-and-roll attack.

After the pick-and-roll, Tkoglu observed while marching that Gasol Jr. defended very well, leaving Tkoglu without a chance.

Tekoglu chose to pass the ball to Howard.

Randolph and Gasol Jr. attack Howard at the same time.

Howard was in a hurry and he missed.

The rebound was protected by Gasol Jr.

Gasol gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Barnes' defense, Lin Rui did not wait for his teammates, but chose to shoot a three-pointer against Barnes after a series of dribbling!

Barnes tried hard to defend, but did not block Lin Rui.

"Swish!"

One arrow pierces the heart!!

10 to 13.

After the suspension, the Knicks regained the initiative!!
