On October 25, after a series of "Hi" from Knicks fans, media and general manager Phil Jackson, the Grizzlies and Knicks opened their new season at Madison Square Garden.
Today''s game was the first of all three openers, with the defending champion warriors and the Spurs being put on the final kick-off with the principle of "leaving the best to the last.".
However, the high ratings of the Grizzlies and Knicks game surprised the league.
Perhaps, the ratings of the last two games may not surpass this one.
Today, Phil Jackson appeared in the stands to watch the battle.
Before the start of the game, the live camera also gave Jackson many close-up.
There is no doubt that he made a series of comments on the program last night, which made him angry again.
And that''s exactly what Jackson wanted.
"It''s not the first time Jackson said that, remember? In 2014, Jackson broke up with LeBron James because of some remarks. I''m not surprised. "
On the stage, Mike brin opened his hand.
As a New York commentator, he knows Jackson''s state better than anyone else.
His arrogance and conceit have made him totally open-minded.
But the game is always played by the players, not by the general manager.
After the players on both sides came out to warm up, people''s eyes shifted from Jackson to the players.
When Ross, Anthony, Noah, Courtney Lee and borzingis ran out of the players'' tunnel, the garden in Madison Square immediately cheered.
But link looked at the Knicks'' lineup, but there was no waves in his heart.
A few years ago, when James decided to join the heat, people would be shocked.
But now, the phenomenon of multi star group, has been common.
Especially after the warriors beat the Grizzlies to win the championship last year, the team building mode of stars in groups was pushed to another climax after James.
A variety of multi giant lineups have emerged in endlessly in recent years. There is a serious fault between the teams, because good players have gathered together, so the strong die hard, the weak die weak.
But Grizzlies don''t take such a road, and in this trend, they are a "alien".
Before the game began, the Knicks held a massive introduction ceremony for the first players.
Watching rose, cantney Lee, Anthony, bolzingis and Noah come out in the same uniform, Knicks fans seem to have grasped the victory.
Link was calm, and he knew that the Knicks were far less glamorous than they seemed.
But Wade, next to link, was not so calm.
"Link." Wade called link before the two sides stepped into the designated position.
"What''s the matter?"
"Today, I''ll probably make a few more shots."
"Whatever you want, devine. Yes? Angry? "
"Well... A little angry..."
"ha ha, let them know that they have offended the wrong person. This is your debut on the Grizzlies, Dwyane. Enjoy it
Finish saying, grizzly starts, five tigers step into the court.
Compared with last season''s western finals, the Grizzlies'' starting lineup has changed a lot. Three out of five.
Conley, Wade, link, Harris and Gasol are the new starting points of the Grizzlies this season. A few months ago, only link and Harris were in the starting lineup.
After both sides stepped into the court, the scene immediately became more fanatical.
Although the Knicks players have never done anything extraordinary before the game starts, it doesn''t mean they don''t want to win.
After forming a new lineup in the summer, the Knicks are eager to prove themselves.
This can be seen in their eyes.
These guys are running for the championship this year!
Before preparing to fight for the ball, link gathered all the starters to form a circle. He had to do the final mobilization before the game.
Grizzly players shoulder to shoulder, head to head, looking cohesive
"posh!" In the stands, Phil Jackson gave a scornful smile.
In the Lakers, he never does that. "OK combination" period, the team is not much cohesion. What happened? Didn''t you win the championship?
Phil Jackson made a mistake when Kobe and Shaquille O''Neal might have had a fight off the court.
But on the court, they always know what to do.
"We have a lot of work to do this season and we all know what our goals are. Everyone says our time is over. Is our time over? " Link began to speak. At the age of 28, he was already a well deserved mature leader."No!" Everyone answered out loud.
"I think so too. Today, we''ll do a better job!"
Finish saying, grizzly bear first, five tigers scattered.
At this point, it''s not just Wade. All five of the Grizzlies who started the game were furious.
With the referee throwing the basketball high, the 16-17 season NBA regular season officially started.
The Grizzlies'' road of redemption has officially opened!
Joaquin Noah struggled to get the first shot from Pau Gasol and Derek Ross got the basketball.
Most fans are very sympathetic to Ross''s experience, so they hope that the former MVP can find its state and bloom again.
But rose himself, why didn''t he expect that?
Ross called for pick and roll outside the three-point line, and his old partner, Joaquin Noah, immediately set up a screen.
Although the two no longer wear the Bulls uniform, but the tacit understanding remains.
Rose broke through wade through the screen, and facing Gasol''s supplementary defense, Rose used a very beautiful pull rod action to avoid the cover, the limit layup score!
This ball, let the whole Madison Square Garden exploded!
"It''s in, Derek Ross! He opened the new season of the Knicks with a wonderful pull rod layup! Did you see that move? Oh, my God, we haven''t seen such a rose in years
Rose''s goal made Mike brin scream.
It can be seen that rose''s desire to win is also very strong today.
Rose no longer has his No. 1 shirt, but he is carrying No. 25, ready to use this ball to continue to write his legend!
The first goal, rose in front of Wade showed a face, which let the Knicks fans more arrogant.
The New York media are right, they would rather expect rose to bloom again than Wade can usher in the second spring of his career.
This is undoubtedly the best interpretation of this.
For Grizzlies attack, today, Anthony defense is also very serious.
If we say that in the first three years of link''s career, Anthony still despised link''s attitude.
Now, Anthony is very cautious about link.
In Madison Square Garden, link did something he had never done in so many years - 50 points in three pairs.
It''s been hard for Anthony to let go.
Since then, Anthony has tried his best to prove that he is not much worse than link every time he meets him.
Link was not in a hurry to attack. After receiving Conley''s pass, he handed the ball to Gasol, who was in the low post to get to the position.
At the same time, Wade cuts in, Gasol is ready to give wade the ball, let Wade comfortable in the air cut layup.
But Ross is not a vegetarian either. He has seen through grizzly''s strategy.
So as soon as Gasol passed the ball, Ross went to Wade''s side and stretched out his arm to cut off the basketball!
"Beautiful anticipation, rose continued just after the pull rod layup, and then snatched Gasol to Wade''s pass! Don''t blink, it may be the night when roses bloom
Rose immediately dribbled the ball to counterattack. His speed was not as fast as that of his peak period, but he did not procrastinate.
Conley is ready to stop Ross near the midline, but Ross smoothly passes by Conley with a turn.
Rose''s passing this time, let Madison Square Garden cheers reached the climax.
After Conley, Ross''s front is empty.
He continued to accelerate, toward the basket. Knicks fans stood up, some of them even raising their arms ahead of time.
Rose crossed the free throw line and jumped high. If Ross can make it, it will be a beautiful picture.
Unfortunately, grizzly bears destroy beauty.
Wade came from behind, waved his arm from behind rose, and fanned the basketball to the backboard!
Rose fell to the ground in embarrassment. After the basketball hit the backboard, Conley, who had retreated, also fell into his hands.
The garden of Madison Square, which had just been very busy, was quiet for a second. Wade broke their beautiful fantasy mercilessly!
Don''t forget, Wade is the most dangerous guard in the active players.
The rose is just about to bloom!
After getting the basketball, Conley quickly handed the ball to link, who made a three threat action outside the three-point line, and then suddenly pulled out!
There''s no complicated, no brilliant breakthroughs, no amazing tactics.
That''s the understatement of a shot to get link three points on Anthony''s head!
In the past, people said Anthony''s defense was bad because of his bad attitude.
But now, with the growth of age, physical fitness and reaction speed are significantly reduced Anthony, in the defensive side is simply not able to do.
At least in front of link, "melon" defense is no threat.Link wanted to score on Anthony''s head with no effort at all.
3-2, after Ross scored a wonderful goal, the Grizzlies only used one attack and one defense to turn the situation around!
Wade and link in the Grizzlies for the first time so wonderful, so that the Knicks only handsome a round on the break.
At this point, Wade who finished the blocking and link, who scored easily, turned their heads to look at Jackson in the stands at the same time.
"Zen master" suddenly felt a shock.
It seems to be a big deal!
