1136: One-sided

Link scored 53 points in the third quarter, and the Grizzlies got the Rockets in the third quarter, sending the game straight into garbage time.

The result of this game brought the first surprise to this "March Madness".

This battle also made the arrogance of the Warriors suddenly disappear, and the state shown by the Grizzlies made the Warriors very jealous.

Maybe what they see as a difficult schedule is nothing more than that in Link's eyes. It's too unrealistic to rely on other people's strength to get rid of grizzly bears.

Everyone understands that it is no coincidence that the Grizzlies were able to take down the Rockets in just three quarters.

Although the Rockets' three-point shooting in this game was a little cold, it was not enough to lose to the Grizzlies by nearly 40 points.

In the final analysis, it was because of Link's 53 points in the third quarter that the Rockets were completely knocked down.

He's a player who can finish games on his own, and he can lead the team to many of these three-quarter clock-out games if Link wants to.

The Grizzlies' devilish schedule has not shown a difficult side so far, and the Warriors, who thought the schedule was easy, have been in trouble one after another.

On March 5, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Warriors nearly rolled over again.

The Knicks haven't had a good record this season, with a 25-37 record so far, which is very different from what they originally expected.

At the beginning of the season, the expectation for the Knicks was to compete for a championship. It is believed that with their strong roster, the Knicks should be able to break James' dominance of the East.

As a result, the Knicks are now barely able to even make the playoffs.

The line-up of Rose, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah did not reach the heights that people expected.

Not even half of the expected height was reached.

Injury issues are one of the biggest obstacles to the Knicks' success. Noah is out for the season after playing a tepid 46 games this season.

The "glass attributes" of Rose and Porzingis kept them on and off and didn't play well in a row.

Although Anthony has a higher attendance rate than all of them, he also has minor injuries.

ESPN has counted that the number of times Rose, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah have actually played together this season is actually less than 10.

If you were to pick the most disappointing team this season, the New York Knicks would certainly be at the top of the list.

Now, with the playoffs basically hopeless, the Knicks are playing more and more depressed.

Now that there is no hope of making the playoffs and winning the championship, management is more willing to bet on Fultz and Lonzo, who will be drafted this summer. Bauer.

All in all, the Knicks are basically a bad team right now. A slump team with three big stars, Rose, Anthony and Porzingis.

Ridiculous labels like "the most luxurious and bad team in history" have been attached to the Knicks.

However, in the face of such a Knicks, facing such a team that is not ranked in the top eight in the East, the defending champion Warriors almost died in New York!

"Stephen. Curry hit a three-pointer and the Warriors led by five points in the final 38 seconds! It was a crucial three-pointer that Curry pulled the Warriors back from the abyss! It's too dangerous, it's really too dangerous. If you don't score three points, the situation will be very different! ”

The New York commentators were scared into a cold sweat, and if this three-point shot didn't go in, the Knicks might be about to break out the biggest upset of the season.

Derek. Rose put his hands on his knees and let out a few big breaths.

He did his best today, and he scored a team-high 28 points in an extremely retro way.

So far in today's game, Rose has only made one shot from beyond the three-point line, and he hasn't made any shots.

In other words, almost all of Rose's 28 points today were obtained by breakthroughs!

Knicks fans are very heartbroken, and Rose's performance today definitely deserved the victory. Arguably, it was even one of Rose's best games with the Knicks.

However, Stephen. Curry's three-pointer completely ruined it all.

Knicks' final attack, Cameron. Anthony tried a three-point shot but missed.

The Warriors seized the long rebounding opportunity to fight back and extend the margin to seven points, ending the nerve-wracking game.

In the end, the score was fixed at 105-112. The Warriors didn't break up with the Knicks until the final 38 seconds.

Rose shot 9-of-18 from the field and shot 50 percent from the field.

It's a pity that the Warriors eventually became the final winner.

However, after winning the game, the Warriors were not happy at all.

If you lose to the Bulls a few days ago, there is also a reason why "the Bulls are a playoff team anyway".

Then being cornered by the Knicks today, the Warriors have no excuse.

It was indeed a win that allowed the Warriors to stabilize the margin of victory with the Grizzlies.

But overall, it wasn't a glorious victory.

The Warriors' defense today was nothing short of a disaster, with Rose, Porzingis, and Anthony coming and going in the Warriors' defense today, shooting above 45 percent.

Steve. When Cole was interviewed on the sidelines as the victor, he couldn't laugh much.

"The Knicks almost ruined us today, and we're going to have to play better against stronger opponents in the future."

Kerr's tone was a little lost, as if the winner of the game was the Knicks.

After this game, Rose, who bloomed again, was naturally praised by fans and the media.

Link was among them, and he attached a photo of Rose to a layup with Green's interference on social media, followed by a simple word: "respect."

And the whole Warriors team fell into the saliva of the fans.

"Just like that, you still threaten to surpass the grizzly bear? Trouble. ”

"One thing to say, if it weren't for Curry's last three-pointer, the Warriors would probably have lost two in a row."

"Cameron. Anthony showed off his scoring skills in front of Durant, and Anthony may be a jerk who doesn't like to defend, but you can't deny his prowess on the offensive end. ”

"Link is right, there's more to come for the Warriors to be more sad."

The losers received praise, and the winners were instead complained about.

No way, who let the Warriors' attitude before entering March be so arrogant.

Why is Link so popular now? Because he can always turn his arrogance into victory.

The Warriors and Durant didn't do that, they were arrogant in their mouths, but they didn't play well.

Now, the pressure is all on the Warriors. If they lose again, they will not only face a gradually widening win difference, but also the dissatisfaction of the fans.

The day after the Warriors narrowly defeated the Knicks, the Grizzlies defeated another New York team, the Brooklyn Nets, also in New York.

The Nets have a record of only 10-51 so far this season, and they are well-deserved "New York brothers".

Although due to the fact that the former Nets general manager Billy. Kim's series of brain-dead operations led to the Nets' draft picks this year in the hands of the Celtics, and they just messed up and were useless.

But the Nets don't want to mess up, and the roster strength goes there.

In the face of this kind of team that has been pitted by the general manager and can only be at ease for several years, in the face of his old friend Jeremy Lin, Link did not relent.

As always, he was firing on all cylinders as soon as he came up. This time, before the third quarter of the game was played, Link was replaced and sat on the "cold bench".

The speed at which he tackles the game, gets faster and faster.

122-109, the Grizzlies did a clean job at the Barclays Center, a stark contrast to the game between the Warriors and Knicks the day before.

Since losing to the Pacers after the All-Star break, the Grizzlies have unwittingly put together another five-game winning streak.

The pressure on the Warriors is mounting, and it seems as if they have messed with the wrong opponent. People are talking that if it weren't for Durant's provocation, Link probably wouldn't have played so hard in March.

Now, the Warriors are in desperate need of a big win to stabilize the situation.

However, they lost again......

The competition between the Grizzlies and the Warriors in "March Madness" began to show a one-sided trend.
