A different point guard road

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!!

"box!!"

2 to 4.

After landing, Lin Rui glared at James.

"Lin Rui is the only player who can suppress James in terms of physical talent."

"The body is really unspeakable. It's too straitor. LeBron rushed over to help defend, but he was knocked away."

"I like Lin Rui's playing style."

Lin Rui's ball made the fans of Madison Garden Arena boil.

James is a super giant known for his physical talent, but he was crushed by Lin Rui on his body.

Such confrontation is very ornamental.

James patted his chest and didn't care.

James has long been accustomed to the strong impact brought by Lin Rui, and it is not the first time he has seen it.

Cavaliers attack.

Mo Williams dribbles forward.

Madison Garden Arena booed, where the Knicks fans shape a devil's home court.

As soon as Mo Williams passed the frontcourt, he gave the ball to James, and James hit the ground and gave the ball to Jamison.

Jamison played Randolph with the ball from the right side of the free throw line.

Jamison faces Randolph's continuous tentative steps.

Jamison is a power forward with good offensive ability in the regular season, but his ability to be limited in the playoffs is more serious.

Jamison tried to break through Randolph, but his body didn't knock Randolph away.

Randolph took a step forward and cut the ball directly at a faster speed.

"Bang!"

Jamison was photographed without protecting the ball.

Jamison concedes the ball, and Lin Rui rushed over from the side to control the ball.

Instead of sticking the ball by himself, Lin Rui saw Curry who was about to go down and threw it over with one hand.

Other defenders often attack the inside when playing fast attacks, and Curry is not like this.

James' return to defense soon reached the basket. Curry did not choose to attack James, but instead made a mid-range jump shot from the high free throw line.

"Swish!"

2 to 6.

For Curry, his two-point shots were just as accurate.

Curry waved to Lin Rui to celebrate.

The cheers of fans at Madison Garden Arena rang again.

The Knicks have very high defensive efficiency.

Jamison signaled to his teammate that this was his problem.

James didn't say anything. James has recruited helpers in recent seasons. He played well in the regular season, but he was awkward in the playoffs. He got used to the playoffs.

Cavaliers attack.

James dribbled to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Anthony Parker. Then James took Tucker to the low post.

Anthony Parker then took the ball to James after two steps.

James played Tucker in a low post.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

James hit his side and Tucker pushed his chest.

James's power made Tucker complain.

James turned over and shot back with one foot.

James's backward jump shot is not good-looking, but it is very practical.

"Swish!"

4 to 6

Except for Lin Rui, James looked down on other players of the Knicks, and he did not think that others might defend him.

Tucker's defense is very good, but it's not good to defend against him.

The fans of Madison Garden Arena felt the meaning of James trying to open up all the fire as soon as they arrived.

The Cavaliers' bench kept screaming, and they were trying to resist the pressure brought by the Knicks home fans.

O'Neal gave James a thumbs up: "Man, your back jump shot is getting more and more handsome."

Yao Yao joked from the side: "Shake, are you sure you are sincere?"

O'Neal laughed and said, "You can speak softly."

Yao Dayao and O'Neal have been fighting on the court for many years, and both of them have started to joke with humor.

The two of them were included on TV, and the fans watching TV also laughed.

Yao Dayan and O'Neal made the tense playoffs less serious.

Knicks attack.

Curry dribbled through half the game.

Curry gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Yao Yao made a pick-and-roll for Lin Rui. Lin Rui used the pick-and-roll and then attracted the defense, and passed it back to Yao Yao who was at the free throw line.

Yao Yau hit an open ball from the free throw line.

"Swish!"

Easily score.

4 to 8

Yao showed his soft touch.

"Lin Rui and Yao's pick-and-roll are very tacit."

"The two cooperated to easily open the Knights' defense line."

"Yao Yao has a freshman in the Knicks, and his offense is often undefensive."

"It's like this when playing around Lin Rui, and there are many unattended scoring opportunities."

Domestic fans like to see Lin Rui and Yao.

The commentator will also use various gorgeous words to describe such pick-and-roll attacks.

Cavaliers attack.

James dribbled to the frontcourt.

James used a right burst to pass Tucker this time.

Jamison occupied the position and Randolph was forced to defend against James.

James passed the ball to Jamison with a low hand. After Jamison got to the basket, he staggered Yao's pace and made a layup.

6 to 8.

The difference between the Knights and the Celtics is that their super strength is very strong.

James is now at his peak, and it is difficult to defend him in one-on-one situations.

D'Antoni didn't want Lin Rui and James to face each other from the beginning.

It is easy for James to make fouls when defending. If Lin Rui's fouls increase rapidly, then the Knicks will be very passive.

Coach Brown of the Cavaliers also had a similar mindset and tried not to let James go directly to face Lin Rui.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Randolph quickly raised it to block Anthony Parker.

Jamison's assisted defense was a little slower, and Lin Rui took a step forward and closed the ball with a quick jump shot from a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!

"Swish!"

One arrow pierces the heart!!

6 to 11,

The Knicks' offensive efficiency is also very high.

"What the Cavaliers need to face is the rest of the Knicks, who are in a much better condition than the Boston G4," Barkley said.

Smith said: "The Cavaliers don't give enough pressure to the Knicks on the outside defense."

On the field, the Cavaliers' offense comes again.

James wandered on the right, Mo Williams' dribbling observation.

Mo Williams greeted O'Neal and Jamison for double cover.

Lin Rui was blocked, Yao Yu was slow to come up, and Mo Williams moved the ball and closed the ball with a three-point jump shot.

"Swish!!"

9 to 11.

Mo Williams immediately responded to Lin Rui's three-pointer.

Both teams had a good start and started a battle against each other.

However, this good feel was only reflected in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the two teams fell into a battle of ironclads.

The defensive intensity of both teams has increased. Only James and Lin Rui can score slightly more stably, while the scoring of others is not that stable!

The Knicks took a slight lead in the first half with their home advantage.

The score in the halftime was 53-59, and the Knicks led by 6 points at home.
