A different point guard road

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

The Knicks established the victory in this game very early, and the substitutes were trained early.

Randolph said in an interview with reporters on the sidelines: "This round of the series does not have much pressure on us, so we just treat it as a warm-up. I hope that the opponents in the next round can cause us more trouble."

Tucker also said: "We haven't lost in the playoffs for a long time and have a little forgotten the feeling of losing. Of course, this is not to say that it is too great, but it really requires a little more challenge for us."

D'Antoni gave Knicks players an eye drop at the post-match press conference: "We need to be humble, put aside our pride, take every opponent seriously, and don't think we are better than everyone else. We are just honored to be in a great team."

Tucker, Danny Green, Curry, Gasol Jr. and others were all quietly changing their mentality under this victory.

Especially some players whose contracts are about to expire have encountered crazy temptations from the outside world.

Too many teams want to poach the Knicks.

Lin Rui only scored 37 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds in this game. His data is just ordinary than before. The main reason is that Lin Rui has not played for a long time. He just broke out in the second quarter for a while and performed normally at other times.

Lin Rui said: "We will do our best to treat no opponent, so don't be careless and proud of it."

Lin Rui and D'Antoni's ideas are consistent.

The walker side.

Paul George was a little confused: "I don't know how to win, we worked hard, but there seemed to be no direction."

Paul George originally thought he was quite awesome, but falling behind 0 to 3 made him feel that he had no influence on the game.

"We're in the toughest moments, they're strong, and we have no way of doing that," Hibert said.

Vogel also said: "Our players work hard and cannot deny their abilities because of this. The Knicks are a mature team and we are still growing."

Vogel is not an incompetent coach. He has a lot of tactics and systems that are great.

But when facing the Knicks, I feel like a clever woman is hard to cook without rice.

"There are many aspects that we need to learn from, and we need to be better," Danny Granger said.

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

"The Pacers really tried their best, and there is really nothing they can do about the Knicks."

"The Knicks' dynasty has become, and this is the result of ordinary teams meeting the Knicks."

"It's not embarrassing to be swept by the Knicks, and the Knicks' team building model is worth learning from."

"Pacers' Paul George and Hibert played well, but they were helpless. When they met a super team like the Knicks, they couldn't help the team win."

"Knicks champion, Lin Rui fmvp!!"

After the game, fans were also hotly discussing the game.

The Knicks team left the stadium happily. For them, the victory of this game was equivalent to the locked second round ticket. No one thought that the Pacers could still turn the tables in the fourth game.

The fourth game started the next day.

This game is boring.

Most of the Pacers' players were thinking about taking a vacation, and they didn't have the idea of ​​going to New York to play another game.

Even Danny Granger has this attitude, only Paul George is still working hard, this is his rookie season, and he doesn't want to end so early!

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks played very relaxed and made frequent mistakes.

But in general, the Knicks still suppressed the Pacers.

The score in the first quarter was 30 to 22, and the Knicks only led by 8 points.

In the second quarter, the Knicks began to control the mistakes and they began to improve their efficiency.

The Pacers' players' defensive attitude is also eye-defense.

The Knicks took the opportunity to launch a 22-2 super shock wave, directly knocking out the suspense of the two teams.

In the third quarter, the Knicks continued to expand the score difference, and they once led by 53 points away.

Hibert left the field after two technical fouls in a row...

The fans on the scene booed the home team while dribbling.

Paul George and Danny Granger were also replaced by Vogel early.

D'Antoni also quickly replaced the players on the edge. He didn't want to win so much. Vogel is still good, and there is no need to form a dead enemy.

NBA coach changes jobs very quickly. Today you coach in a strong team, maybe one day you will be at a weak team. There will always be a time when feng shui turns, and it is always good to maintain your character.

In the end, the score of this game was frozen on 150 to 95.

The Knicks won 55 points away.

Danny Granger is nicknamed "55 Bachelor" by Pacers fans!"

This is a shameful game for Pacers fans. As soon as the game ends, a bunch of fans are shouting wildly that Vogel is dismissed...

The fans of Banker Life Arena are both angry and helpless.

It's so miserable that the team was eliminated in this way.

Sweep 4 to 0.

The Pacers became the first victim to be killed by the Knicks this season's playoffs.

No one outside the world expected that the Pacers would lose so badly in the fourth game.

This game is also the first time this season's playoff series has swept.

The Pacers' ending did not arouse much surprise from the outside world, and it was already a habit for the Knicks to sweep their opponents.

The Pacers did not try their best in this series, but their efforts were ineffective.

The Knicks always easily widen the score difference in the game, which was very damaging to the mentality, which led to the Pacers lying flat in the fourth game.

On the contrary, the Knicks did not fluctuate much from the beginning to the end, and they were always calm in dealing with the changes in the Pacers.

With Lin Rui's holding of the ball, the Knicks always seemed calm.

The Knicks' offense and defense were also easily activated.

Lin Rui averaged 32 minutes of playing time in this round of the series, but he averaged 44 points, 13 assists, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks per game.

Lin Rui continued his dominance from the regular season to the playoffs.

No one can stop them!

As soon as this round of series ended, the Knicks also announced three days off.

Their opponents have not yet emerged, and they have plenty of time to rest and adjust.

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

"The Knicks are so awesome!"

"Anything happened, the Knicks started the playoff mode."

"We can't blame the Pacers for being too weak, we can only say that the Knicks are too strong."

"The Pacers need to enter the reconstruction, their leader is too weak."

"Paul George and Hibert are suitable as the cornerstone of reconstruction."

"The Knicks' role players also played great, and they became Lin Rui's reliable helpers."

....

The Knicks fans are very satisfied with the Knicks' form.

After the first round of the game, fans began to brag about the Knicks wildly.

The next day.

The league awarded the Sixth Man Award, Lakers' Lamar Odom won, Odom averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game, and his performance barely suppressed the Mavericks' Jason Terry.

Kevin Love won the fastest-progress player.

Kevin Love averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds per game this season, showing a potential insider's all-round skill.

The Knicks have no players who can run for the two awards.

Although Curry has made progress, Lin Rui’s halo is too great and his data progress is not obvious.

Then let alone the best sixth man. The Knicks have many substitutes. It is unclear who the sixth man is. The role of each substitute is different. Many times, their role cannot be reflected on the data side.

Then the best rookie was Griffin. After reimbursing a season, Griffin averaged 22 points, 12 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game after returning.

If there weren't a super rookie like Lin Rui to take over the team, Griffin, who had achieved such crazy data in his rookie season, would have caused heated discussion.

Such performances are incomparable to either Whiteside or Stephenson.

Judging from all the honors, the Knicks have no share.

The discussion on mvp is also underway, but there has not yet been a final result.

The controversy about MVP is not that big. The team has the first record and the first data, and Lin Rui booked this award almost in advance.

Lin Rui's attention was not in external remarks.

He is waiting for the next round of opponents to appear.

The Knicks' next round opponent will appear between the Celtics and the Magic.

The two teams are playing very anxiously now, with a big score tied 2-2.

Although the three Celtics are a bit old, they play very resiliently.

If it were two years ago, Magic had the upper hand, but now Tekoglu has deteriorated too obviously, which has led to Magic's handsome attempt to defeat the Celtics.

During the holiday, Lin Rui stayed at home with Li Feifei and the children.

Lin Rui enjoys family life very much.

Sometimes he is a little tired of frequent games.

On the first day after the holiday, the official announced that Gasol Jr. won the best defensive player of the season.

This is another important award in the Knicks in addition to the best coach.

The All-Rookie Team has also come out, and Whiteside and Stephenson have been selected one after another.

....

....

With the awards presented by various awards, Lin Rui was not in a hurry, but the fans were in a hurry.

"Why is MVP still coming out?"

"No need to guess, this season is Lin Rui MVP."

"As long as there are no injuries, the next 10 years will be Lin Rui's reign, and he will not leave this award."

"Many reporters have revealed that they voted for Lin Rui."

....

....

The Knicks' second round opponent came out soon.

Orlando Magic.

Through hard battles, they defeated the Celtics in 7 games and successfully met the Knicks to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

After losing the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics immediately announced a reconstruction, and everyone in the team was in a tradeable state, and then fired head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

The three Celtics finally come to an end!!!

When the Knicks are about to set off for Orlando.

The league also announced the results of the MVP award.

Without any accidents, the regular season MVP was won by Lin Rui.

Lin Rui achieved the feat of three consecutive MVPs.

Then, this is another unanimous mvp!

For three consecutive years, Lin Rui has won the MVP with unanimous votes, which is another record.

The Knicks learned the news in the morning because the NBA office in New York is really too close to the Knicks' arena.

The Knicks also prepared the MVP speech in the afternoon.

....

....

This MVP award once again triggered a frenzy of Lin Rui's praise.

"Congratulations to Lin Rui!"

"Lin Rui's strength is there, and he conquered everyone every season."

"A perfect player, just want the bugs in the game!"

"Lin Rui will become the best player in history. If you win the championship again this year, then win the FMVP, it will be perfect."

"Lin Rui is the idol of every basketball boy."

"Three consecutive triple-doubles, three consecutive mvp, three consecutive championships, three consecutive fmvp, three consecutive fmvp, who else can be the only one!!"

"Lin Rui is extremely domineering."

Lin Rui also performed his third MVP award under the witness of a number of media.

Lin Rui said: "Oh, it's me again, I really hope it's a little challenge."

Lin Rui's first sentence was very pretentious.

"Play!"

"Play!"

The reporters on the scene applauded and smiled with the guests on the scene.

What a strong man says is easy to recognize.

...

...

A speech is like a pretentious quote.

Lin Rui is also qualified to show off!

Lin Rui's MVP awards also made him the top news again.

In recent years, Lin Rui has almost represented basketball.

Lin Rui is also often on various rankings of sports figures.

The day after the speech.

The long-awaited Eastern Conference semi-finals finally started.

The Knicks face the Magic at home.

This round, the outside world is still optimistic about the Knicks, but does not think that the Knicks will still sweep.

The magic showed great strength in the process of defeating the Celtics.

Although they look worse than they did in the past two years, Howard is still at the top.

On both offense and defense, Howard also has certain advantages against the Knicks.

"The Magic performed well, they should be able to win a victory, of course, there should be no hope for winning the series."

Smith said: "I think the Knicks may sweep their opponents. The Magic's strength is not as high as the outside world predicts. It can be seen from the last round that the Knicks won easily. Many times, before they could use force, their opponents fell down."

During the interview before the game.

Howard also said to the reporter: "You always say that the Knicks are strong and Lin Rui is strong. We have no chance. What I want to say is that not only will we win one game, but we will win four games and send them home."

After passing the Celtic level, he was full of confidence.

Tkoglu also said: "We will do our best to defeat them. They are not without weaknesses, but we must be more patient."

The interview with the Knicks was pretty good, and they did not show their attitude of looking down on their opponents.

soon.

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene.

The game is on.

Knicks starter: Lin Rui, Curry, Tucker, Randolph, and Yao Dayao.

In order to restrain Howard, D'Antoni put the best defensive player off the court and served as a substitute.

Only the Knicks are so luxurious.

Magic starters: Nelson, Richardson, Tkogru, Bath, Howard.

Howard and Yao jumped the ball.

Howard transferred the ball to Nelson.

Nelson was under great pressure to face Lin Rui's defense, and he gave the ball to Tkogru on the right.

Tkoglu cooperated with Bass' pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Tkoglu made a three-pointer with a sideways retreat.

This three-pointer was a bit barely enough, and Randolph's defense came out.

"Bang!"

"Swish!"

The basketball rebounded and fell into the basket.

3 to 0.

The Madison Garden Arena has a little less vocal.

Barkley said: "The Magic's three-pointers were very determined, and they realized that they needed to beat the Knicks to open up their attacks."

Smith said: "The Knicks are all big men in the inside, stronger than the Celtics. Howard is not easy to play in the inside. If Tkoglu can make a shot from the outside, it will also share a lot of pressure for him."

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui arrived at the frontcourt calmly.

At the top of the arc, Lin Rui made a gesture and asked Yao to bring his cover.

Defending Lin Rui became Richardson.

Richardson was blocked by Yao.

After Lin Rui dribbled the ball, he stopped and took a mid-range shot.

A steady hit.

The momentum of the Madison Garden Arena is back on.

Magic attack.

Nelson dribbled to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui went up to defend.

Lin Rui pressed this time very fiercely.

"Beebee!"

The referee called Lin Rui's foul.

Nelson is still very experienced and he has been guarding against Lin Rui's snatching the ball.

Nelson's attack comes again.

Lin Rui stood a little further this time, but Nelson pulled out one step outside the three-point line.

Nelson's three-pointer feels soft.

"Swish!!"

6 to 2.

After scoring the goal, Nelson shouted at Lin Rui: "It's not only you who can make three-pointers far."

Lin Rui ignored Nelson.

Barkley smiled and said, "A rare scene, Lin Rui was cast as one."

Smith said: "Because of Lin Rui's influence, almost all shooters in the league are trying to improve their range. Obviously, Nelson succeeded."

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Lin Rui called him directly and pulled him away.

Teammates quickly dispersed.

One-to-one situation.

Lin Rui invited Curry to block it alone.

Curry covers, takes Richardson away, leaving Nelson behind.

Lin Rui began to change direction and dribble when facing Nelson's defense.

Left side!

Right side!

After a simple pull, Lin Rui stepped back and forced the space between him and Nelson.

One meter away from the three-minute line at the top of the arc.

Decisively fire!!

Not only was Nelson's rhythm staggered, but he came too late to pounce.

Lin Rui's three-pointer drew a wonderful arc.

"Swish!"

6 to 5

Lin Rui immediately responded to Nelson's three-pointer.

Sweat from Nelson's forehead was flowing down, and obviously, that was the shot back at him.

Magic attack.

Lin Rui will not give Nelson a chance this time.

Cover him firmly.

Nelson could only give the ball to Tkogru.

Tkoglu launched a pick-and-roll with Howard.

After the pick-and-roll, Tkoglu moved horizontally, Yao did not come up, and Tkoglu took the mid-range shot.

"box!!"

I've made a blacksmith.

Randolph caught the rebound.

The magic trick was still a problem and he didn't seize the opportunity.

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

Howard assists in defending Lin Rui.

Lin Rui passed the ball behind the back of his head to Randolph in the open position.

Randolph's jump shot from the free throw line.

"box!!"

Didn't enter either!

The rebound was taken by Tkoglu, who showed his organizational skills and quickly hit Richardson.

Curry is defending Richardson, and Curry is in place.

But his body is not as strong as Richardson, and in this kind of fast attack, defense and one is a competition of talent.

Richardson leaned on Curry to make a layup and scored the ball.

8 to 5.

The Magic showed good shape at the beginning of the game, indicating that they were different from the Pacers.

The Knicks were obviously a little careless, and they had a long rest, which caused the pace of the game to not keep up.

Barkley said: "The Magic is in a better state than the Knicks, let's see what the Knicks will do next."

Smith said: "D'Antoni is not in a hurry, the game is just beginning."

On the field.

The Knicks' offense is back.

Lin Ruiyun arrived at the front court.

Howard threw the ball over.

Nelson received the ball and flew into the basket.

10 to 5.

The Madison Garden Arena has become much less popular.

Lin Ruiyun called for a stop to play after halftime.

Zhang Weiping said: "The Knicks feels average, they are a little relaxed when they play, while the magic continues to be in the form of a tiebreak with the Celtics."

Xu Jicheng said: "The main reason is that the Knicks have a bit of a rest time."

Zhang Weiping said: "Don't have the illusion of magic, the Knicks will quickly regain their pace."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the Knicks' pause adjustments are all very effective."

Knicks attack.

Lin Rui dribbled through half the game.

Lin Rui did not find his teammates to have an open space, but wanted to ensure the success rate first, and he wanted to score the ball first.

Lin Rui still called Randolph to pick-and-roll.

Randolph blocked Richardson, Lin Rui turned to the left, and even Bass passed by.

Yao was fighting with Howard in the inside and did not allow Howard to easily assist Lin Rui.

Indeed, Howard was in a dilemma. If he came to help defend, Yao would miss this.

Lin Rui will definitely seize this opportunity, but if he doesn't help defending, Lin Rui will be too relaxed.

Howard finally chose to stand on Lin Rui's passing line, and he didn't want to give him any gaps.

However, this situation obviously cannot limit Lin Rui.

Lin Rui saw Howard's intention and he adopted a high throw.

Howard jumped hard, but the highest point of the ball still passed Howard's fingertips.

"Swish!"

The basketball fell into the basket accurately.
