On October 25th, after experiencing Knicks fans, media and general manager Phil. After a series of self-exalted games from Jackson, the Grizzlies and Knicks finally kicked off at Madison Square Garden for the new season.

Today's game was the first of all three openers, and in keeping with the principle of "save the best for last", the clash between the defending champion Warriors and Spurs was put on the final kick-off.

However, the high ratings of this game between the Grizzlies and Knicks surprised the league.

Perhaps, the ratings of the next two games may not necessarily exceed this one.

Today, Phil. Jackson himself appeared in the stands to watch the game.

Before the game began, the live footage also gave Jackson many close-ups.

There is no doubt that the series of remarks he made on the show last night made him popular again.

And that's exactly what Jackson wanted.

"This isn't the first time Jackson has said something like that, remember? In 2014, Jackson was because of some remarks and LeBron . James had a fuss. I'm not surprised. ”

On the commentary stage, Mike. Brin spread his hands.

As a New York commentator, he knows Jackson better than anyone else.

His arrogance and conceit have brought him to the point of being completely open-mouthed.

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 also moved from Jackson to the players.

When Rose, Anthony, Noah, Contney. When Lee and Porzingis ran out of the tunnel, there was a burst of cheers in Madison Square Garden.

But Link looked at the Knicks' lineup, but his heart was unwavering.

A few years ago, when James decided to join the Heat, everyone was shocked.

But now, the phenomenon of multiple stars huddling together is not uncommon.

Especially after the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies to win the championship last year, the team-building mode of the stars was pushed to another climax after James.

A variety of multi-giant lineups have emerged in an endless stream in recent years. There is a serious fault line between the teams, because the good players are all gathered together, so the strong die strong, and the weak die weak.

However, the Grizzlies did not follow such a path, and in this general trend, they are also considered an "outlier".

Before the start of the game, the Knicks held a huge starter introduction ceremony.

Looking at Ross, Contney. Lee, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah walked out in the same jerseys, and Knicks fans seemed to have grabbed the win.

Link is very calm, and he knows very well that the Knicks' roster is far from as glamorous as it seems.

But Wade, who was next to Link, was not so calm.

"Link." Before the two sides stepped into their assigned positions, Wade shouted to Link.

"What's wrong?"

"Today, I'll probably make a few more shots."

"Whatever you want, Dwayne. How? Angry? ”

"Hmm...... A little......"

"Haha, then let them know they're messing with the wrong person. It's your Grizzlies debut, Dwayne, enjoy. ”

With that, the Grizzlies' starting five tigers stepped onto the court.

Compared to last season's Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies' starting lineup has changed a lot. Of the five people, three were replaced.

Conley, Wade, Link, Harris and Gasol are the Grizzlies' new starters this season. A few months ago, there were only two players in the set, Link and Harris.

As soon as the two sides stepped onto the court, the scene immediately became more frenetic.

While the Knicks players have never done anything out of the ordinary, that doesn't mean they don't want to win.

After forming a new roster in the summer, the entire Knicks were eager to prove themselves.

This can be seen in their eyes.

This group of guys is going for the championship this year!

Before preparing for the scrum, Link gathered all the starters in a circle and he was going to make the final pre-match mobilization.

The Grizzlies players were shoulder-to-shoulder, head to head, looking cohesive

"Pretending!" In the stands, Phil. Jackson smiled disdainfully.

On the Lakers, he never cleaned up these useless things. During the "OK combination" period, the team did not have much cohesion at all. The result? Didn't you win the championship too?

Phil. Jackson got a little mistake, and Kobe and O'Neal may have had a falling out off the court at the time.

But when they get on the field, they always know what to do.

'We've had a lot of responsibility this season and we all know what we're aiming for. All say that our time is over. Is our time over? Link began to speak, and at the age of 28, he was already a well-deserved mature leader.

"Nope!" All answered loudly.

"I think so too, so let's do a good job today!"

After saying that, the Grizzlies started five tigers and dispersed.

At this point, it's not just Wade. All five of the Grizzlies' starters were furious.

As the referee threw the basketball in the air, the 16-17 NBA regular season officially began.

The road to redemption for the Grizzlies has also officially begun!

Joaquin. Noah struggled to get the ball from Gasol's head to get the ball first, and Derek Brown. Rose gets the basketball.

Most fans are very sympathetic to Rose's plight, so they hope that the former MVP can find his form and bloom again.

But why wouldn't Ross himself expect this?

Rose called for pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line, and his old partner Joaquin. Noah immediately set up cover.

Although the two no longer wear Bulls jerseys, the tacit understanding is still there.

Rose broke through Wade through the screen, and in the face of Gasol's defense, Rose dodged the block with a very beautiful pull-up action and scored a layup!

This goal made the whole Madison Square Garden explode!

"The ball went in, Derek. Ross! He kicked off the new season of the Knicks with a wonderful pull-up layup! Did you see that? Oh my God, we haven't seen a Ross like this in years! ”

Rose's goal made Mike. Brin couldn't help but scream.

It can be seen that Rose's desire to win today is also very strong.

Rose no longer has his No. 1 jersey, but with No. 25 on his back, he is ready to continue his legend with this goal!

On the first shot, Rose showed off in front of Wade, which made Knicks fans even more arrogant.

The New York media is right, they would rather expect Rose to bloom again than expect Wade to have a second spring in his career.

This goal is undoubtedly the best interpretation of this.

Switching to the Grizzlies offense, today, Anthony defended very seriously.

If in the first three years of Link's career, Anthony's attitude towards Link was still contemptuous.

So now, Anthony is very cautious about Link.

Link had done something at Madison Square Garden that he hadn't done in so many years — a 50-point triple-double.

This has kept Anthony in his heart.

Since then, Anthony has done his best every time he meets Link to prove that he is not much worse than him.

Link was also in no hurry to attack, and after receiving a pass from Conley, he handed the ball to Gasol, who was in the low post.

At the same time, Wade cuts in, and Gasol is ready to play the ball to Wade, who can comfortably cut to the basket.

But Rose is not a vegetarian either, and he has seen through the Grizzlies' strategy.

So at the moment of Gasol's pass, Rose went around to Wade's side, and then stretched out his arm to cut the basketball!

"Beautiful prediction, Rose continued to pull up the layup just now, and then steals Gasol's pass to Wade! Don't blink, it could be the night the roses bloom! ”

Rose dribbled and countered immediately after a steal, and his speed wasn't as fast as he was in his prime, but he wasn't slow either.

Conley was about to stop Rose near the halfway line, but Rose swiped past Conley with a fluid turn.

Rose's pass brought the cheers of Madison Square Garden to a climax.

After passing Conley, Rose's front was empty.

He continued to accelerate and rushed towards the basket. Knicks fans all stood up, and some of them even raised their arms early.

Rose crossed the free-throw line and leaped high. If Rose can dunk that goal, it will undoubtedly be quite a beautiful picture.

It's just a pity that grizzly bears specialize in destroying beauty.

I saw Wade come from behind, wave his arm hard from behind Rose, and fan the basketball to the rebound!

Rose fell to the ground in embarrassment, and after the basketball hit the rebound, it also fell into the hands of Conley, who returned to him.

Madison Square Garden, which was still very lively just now, was silent for a second, and their beautiful fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Wade!

Don't forget, Wade is the most adventurous defender among active players.

The rose was just about to bloom when it was burned by lightning!

After getting the basketball, Conley quickly handed the ball to Link, who made a triple threat move from beyond the three-point line and then suddenly pulled out!

No complicated dribbles, no brilliant breakaways and no amazing tactics.

It's such an understatement that a shot allowed Link to get three points on Anthony's head!

In the past, people said that Anthony didn't defend well because he didn't have a good attitude.

But now, as he gets older, Anthony's physical fitness and reaction speed have declined significantly, and his ability is not good on the defensive end.

At least in front of Link, "Melon's" defense is really no threat.

Link wanted to score on Anthony's head and it was completely effortless.

3-2, after Rose scored a wonderful goal, the Grizzlies turned the tide with only one attack and one defense!

Wade and Link's first connection with the Grizzlies was so spectacular that the Knicks took a break after just one round.

At this time, Wade, who completed the block, and Link, who scored easily, both turned their heads to look at Jackson in the stands at the same time.

The "Zen Master" suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

It seems that something big is happening!
