A different point guard road

The Knicks are 7 points behind away.

Although it is not much behind 7 points, this feeling is that the rhythm is suppressed.

The Mavericks' overall outbreak is the main reason why the Knicks are behind.

With insufficient rotation staff, the Knicks' defense is too tight.

Nowitzki scored 26 points in the first half, and his performance shone throughout the game.

Tucker was out of breath after playing for the first half.

In the locker room, Tucker complained: "Farke, Dirk is too difficult to guard against."

Lin Rui smiled and said, "It's rare that you would say that someone is hard to guard against."

Tucker is usually very strong on the defensive end and always confidently says that anyone can’t score in front of him.

Facing King Nuo tonight, he seemed to be directly defeated.

Tucker said: "He is so tall, and he can still turn over and jump shot and use a tilt. I can't defend against this."

Gasol said helplessly: "If I go to guard, he will break through. I have two fouls on him."

Gasol Jr. also spread his hands. In the first half, Gasol Jr. didn't try to defend Nowitzki, but just failed to defend. Nowitzki's offense changed too much.

After even two fouls, Gasol dared not defend himself.

D'Antoni arranged: "Lance, go defend Dirk and cause as much consumption as possible."

Stephenson nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I will defend him."

D'Antoni had no choice but to use this trick. He couldn't let Lin Rui defend Nowitzki in the whole second half.

Lin Rui consumes a lot on the offensive end. If he continues to consume a lot on the defensive end, this will make the Knicks ultimately lack the fundamental reason for a comeback.

D'Antoni did not arrange Lin Rui's task to defend Nowitzki, but Lin Rui took the initiative to say: "I will try to attack Nowitzki together in the second half."

Lin Rui is not the kind of player who only pushes difficulties to his teammates.

More often than not, Lin Rui is willing to take the initiative to take responsibility.

The Knicks players nodded.

When everyone saw Lin Rui, they felt relieved.

Over there in the Mavericks locker room.

Carlisle stressed: "Their overall strength is weaker than us, and all we need to do is to stay aggressive and continue the style of the first half so that they will inevitably lose."

"On the offensive end, we are playing around Dirk and Jason's pick-and-roll."

"As long as possible, attack Lin on the defensive end, don't let him explode."

"We don't need to worry if he doesn't break out in this game."

"Even if he explodes, he can't make a three-pointer."

.........

Barkley shouted: "Nowski played an amazing first half, facing the Knicks' successive defense, he played with the request."

Smith said: "The Mavericks' deep rotation is also enviable. They use continuous personnel to maintain their stable offensive and defensive rhythm, and this style of play is exactly what the Knicks were good at before."

Barkley said: "Injuries are the Knicks' biggest enemy this season. If they want to complete three consecutive championships, continue to beat the injury, or how to maintain a strong deterrence in the injury."

"This is the biggest test for the Knicks to achieve the dynasty," Smith said.

The rest time passed in a flash.

The two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Knicks' offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Tucker came up and made a pick-and-roll for Lin Rui.

After the pick-and-roll, Tucker bounced out and took Marion away.

Lin Rui made a breakthrough with a change of direction.

Lin Rui didn't think too much about passing the ball, and he now needs to drive the team's offense.

Nowitzki was replaced by Lin Rui. Nowitzki was very awesome on the offensive end, but his reaction on the defensive end was a bit slow.

Lin Rui successfully rushed past Nowitzki's defense and reached the three-second zone.

Chandler's assistant defense rushed over.

Lin Rui chose to take the initiative to fight Chandler, and then barely maintained his balance and made a layup.

65 to 70.

Chandler's defense is very strong, and he can also put huge pressure on Lin Rui when he reaches the inside.

Chandler was also a little disappointed that he failed to defend Lin Rui's goal.

He smashed the ball down the floor.

The referee warned Chandler.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui has begun to attack the inside line. Let's see if the Mavericks' defense can hold on."

Smith said: "Yes, judging from the attack in the first round, Lin Rui doesn't plan to pass the ball."

"Lin Rui's offense is too straitor, and he can beat his opponents when he fights against the opponent's center."

"Chandler's defense is fine, and he gave Lin Rui a strong confrontation."

"Tuck's pick-and-roll ball is very good. He helped Lin Rui take Marion away. Nowitzki's defense will be even less pressure on Lin Rui."

Fans were also talking about it.

Kidd dribbles to the frontcourt.

Fans in the Aviation Arena are cheering for the Mavericks.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Terry.

Teh broke through against Danny Green.

Danny Green was a little tired, and his steps couldn't keep up, and Terry rushed in.

Terry felt the pressure when Gasol Jr. was assisting in defense, but he saw Chandler in the three-second zone.

Terry threw the ball high.

Chandler held Terry's pass with both hands and smashed it into the basket!!

The Mavericks immediately responded to the Knicks' offense.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui continued to greet Tucker's pick-and-roll.

This time the pick-and-roll was not strong, and Marion bypassed the cover and chased Lin Rui.

Lin Rui dribbled behind the ball and passed Marion on the right.

After coming to the inside, Nowitzki and Chandler quickly rushed over to siege Lin Rui.

Before Lin Rui completely surrounded the ball, he sent the ball out from Nowitzki and Chandler's waist.

to whom?

Gasol received the ball in the inside without any hesitation. Gasol raised the ball with one hand and then smashed it hard!!

"box!!"

67 to 72.

If the Mavericks' defense invests too much force on Lin Rui, it will also pay the price.

The momentum of the aviation stadium is slightly smaller.

After the pick-and-roll, Kidd gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's layup caused Stephenson to block the foul.

Nowitzki hit the free throw line.

Amid cheers.

Nowitzki made both free throws.

Then Lin Rui started running.

Barkley shouted: "Lin Rui made two moves and two assists easily helped the Knicks to an offensive climax."

Smith said: "Now see if the Mavericks can respond to the Knicks' offense."

Lin Rui's offense was more aggressive, which made the Mavericks feel a huge pressure.

It seems that they can't limit Lin Rui.

Mavericks attack.

Kidd dribbles through half the game.

Kidd gave the ball to Marion on the right.

Marion handed it to Terry.

Stephenson used a defensive approach to defend Nowitzki, not to mention, this approach is really good.

Nowitzki couldn't catch the ball in the front, but if the ball was hung high, he would face a slam attack from Stephenson and Gasol Jr.

Gasol Jr. has a good sense of defense and will not give Nowitzki a good opportunity in the inside.

Terry greeted Chandler's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, there was no dislocation, and Danny Green was always defending Terry.

Terry chose to forcefully dribble and scored two points from a long distance.

It's just a pity.

Fans at the Aviation Arena exclaimed.

They didn't expect Lin Rui to play such a expensive dunk in the second half.

"Suspend!!" Carlisle couldn't help but shouted to stop the game.

Carlisle was very dissatisfied with the Mavericks' offense and defense during this period.

"Fake, what are you all doing?"

"They climaxed and we were only two points ahead."

"Be alert, guys, we need to pay attention, if we don't keep the intensity, we will lose this game."

The Mavericks' veterans remained silent.

Everyone knows what's going on, but it's hard to change.

The Knicks team is a bit adapted to the Mavericks' system.

On the Knicks side, D'Antoni was encouraging everyone, and he kept everyone running at the pace just now.

The shot of this ball is extremely fast.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc.

"Swish!"

One arrow pierces the heart.

75 to 76.

The cheers at the scene were stopped for a while again.

Barkley said: "Lin Rui's touch has been completely opened, and the gap between the two teams is rapidly narrowing. What needs to be done now is to limit Lin Rui, otherwise the next showdown between Lin Rui and the Mavericks, not the showdown between the Knicks and the Mavericks."

Smith said: "Lin Rui's personal ability is the Knicks' nuclear weapon."

On the field.
