The first day of the 16-17 season opener gave fans a taste of the biggest charm of the season - uncertainty.

Because none of the three games on the opening day were the same as the fans expected.

After the defending champions, the Golden State Warriors, received their championship ring at home, they were immediately abused by the Spurs without Duncan.

In this game, Aldridge and Leonard scored 26 points and a 25 points. One hits 50% and the other 47.6%.

Efficient, unpretentious, and able to win, the "Twin German Combo" really seems to have carried the banner of the Spurs from Duncan's shoulders.

On the other hand, the Warriors' 21.2% three-point shooting rate is staggering. Although Durant and Curry scored 27 and 26 points respectively, the efficiency of the Warriors as a whole was too low.

Today, the Warriors feel very relaxed, relaxed and a little light. It was as if they thought they could wipe out the spurs with just a casual hit.

However, when they were beaten by the Spurs and tried to get serious, they couldn't break out that momentum.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the defending champions 129-100 on the road.

It turns out that even the warriors with a strong lineup who are perverted cannot be taken lightly.

As soon as they relax a little, they will be kicked off the altar!

In another game, the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Toronto Raptors, also surprised fans.

Although the Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers won the tournament as expected, their journey to winning the tournament was extremely bumpy.

People thought that James would be able to easily take down the Raptors with Irving and Love.

However, DeMar. DeRozan suppressed James, Irving and other superstar players today, and scored 32 points in the game!

And none of those 32 points came from outside the three-point line.

DeRozan is a No. 2 who doesn't like and isn't good at shooting threes, and his mid-range scoring style is very retro.

But it turns out that as long as the strength is strong enough, even in a retro way, it can cause trouble for the opponent.

Under DeRozan's excellent play, the Cavaliers were forced to the last 2.4 seconds, relying on Irving's life-saving three-point shot, and only then did they escape from the dead.

Before the start of the game, everyone agreed that the Cavaliers' position as the leader of the East would not waver.

But in fact, it has already begun to fall.

But the most unexpected thing for fans was the game between the Grizzlies and the Knicks.

As the first match to start the opener, this game was the most rated.

Phil. Jackson's outspokenness, Link's war of words with the New York media, and fans' curiosity about the Knicks' new roster all made this game a high-profile affair

As a result, this match was also the most unexpected.

Before the game began, many New York fans thought the Grizzlies would lose. Neutral fans, on the other hand, mostly think that the two sides may have a five-to-five fight.

As a result, the Grizzlies won the game at Madison Square Garden.

Link didn't play much, and the Grizzlies won. And Wade, who has always been thought to have not had much gas in the tank, scored 35 points in the first game after joining the Grizzlies!

All the fans watched this game with their mouths open, and the gap between the Grizzlies and the Knicks is really too big!

Three games, none of which went in the direction that fans expected,

The 16-17 season was a great one from the start. All three games are a reminder to fans – don't think it's all over the place.

After the Grizzlies vs. Knicks game, Phil. Jackson became the object of spurning by everyone.

Even, even many Knicks fans began to attack the "Zen master".

"If the Grizzlies are really as bad as you say, then what are the Knicks?"

"Don't mess with those useless things, Phil. Before you came, we were a playoff team. But now, we're playing for the lottery! ”

"It's a big disappointment, Phil's magical aura can't be recreated in New York."

Sure enough, against Wade, even if he is a "Zen master", there will be no good fruit to eat.

And the fastidious New York media unanimously turned their guns on the Knicks, and all sorts of counts fell.

Link sometimes thinks that the Knicks players are really miserable, and most local media will support the local team.

But in New York, you can never expect the New York media to be gentle with the Knicks.

If that's what New York calls big city exposure, then Link would rather not.

In any case, the Grizzlies' game against the Knicks has regained respect for championship players across the league.

It turns out that a duo with a total of five rings is indeed not easy to mess with.

After this game, no reporter dared to count the Grizzlies. And the Grizzlies have fulfilled Link's words with a series of victories, "This is just the beginning." ”

On Oct. 29, the Grizzlies kicked off at Federal Express Arena against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who finished third from last season in the West but are considered the most likely dark horse this season.

The Timberwolves signed Tom this season. Thibodeau, who is widely believed to be the No. 14 pick Wiggins, the No. 13 rookie in '14 and the No. 15 No. 15 pick Downs, will be able to cash in on their talent this season.

Speaking of which, the Timberwolves' roster is really talented. Of the starting five Tigers, four are high-pick rookies. From the "Spanish Golden Boy" of the year to the current Downs, this is enough to make most teams drool.

But after all these years, the Timberwolves have not been able to translate their talent into results.

Therefore, people are looking forward to the arrival of Thibodeau to change the status quo.

But unfortunately, in the first game of the Timberwolves season, they actually encountered the Grizzlies.

In this game, Link suppressed Wiggins in all directions and did not let the champion, who was originally known as "the next James", play any results.

Downs played well, but the way he scored on the court was a surprise.

On the court, Downs showed his superb skills.

Three-pointers, low-post turnover jumpers, and face-frame breakaways...... Link has to admit that the comprehensiveness of these big men in the new era is incomparable to the old insiders in the past.

But as a big man with a height of 2.13 meters, Downs is completely immobile in the low position!

Several times, he hit Harrell, who was more than two meters tall, on his back, and he couldn't move!

And Harrell, a sapper who scored by eating cakes, beat Downs twice in a row and crushed all the way to the basket to score easily......

Seeing this, Jokic on the bench smiled, "Coach, do you want to replace me and try it?" ”

After that, there is a series of sad stories. 15-year champion, was abused in the low post by the 14-year second-round show.

Towns and Wiggins, two of the most talented, have been suppressed, and the Timberwolves' scoring load has shifted to LaVine.

LaVine is a great dunker, but at this stage, he's not a great scorer.

110-98, the Grizzlies once again outnumbered their opponents. If it weren't for the fact that Jogger had already replaced all of his main players in the last two minutes, the difference might have been even greater.

Link lightly scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and still didn't look like he was making much effort.

But even then, he made Wiggins autistic.

Wiggins scored 6 points in this game, not because he didn't work hard, but because he really couldn't beat Link.

In an interview after the game, the Timberwolves shook their heads vigorously, "Link is very strong, and few players in the league can take advantage of him." Being in front of him made me feel hopeless. ”

The Grizzlies have won two in a row, and the momentum is still not going to stop.

On October 30, the Grizzlies hosted the Wizards back-to-back. Although Wall, the top pick in the same class as Link, scored 22 points and 13 assists, he still couldn't prevent the Grizzlies from winning 101.

Three wins in a row!

Fast forward to November, and the Grizzlies and Timberwolves meet for the second time this season.

Only this time, the battlefield has become Minnesota.

At home, the Timberwolves lost even more. The Grizzlies stepped up their efforts to 116-80 to humiliate the Timberwolves at home.

The Timberwolves started a three-game losing streak, two of which were to the Grizzlies. It seems that Thibodeau has not figured out how to turn talent into achievements.

So far, the Grizzlies have made a perfect start to a four-game winning streak.

What's even more terrifying is that after four games, it was found that Link didn't seem to be using his best in any of them.

He is like James, who has been "healthy" in the regular season all these years.

The difference is that Link can win the game even if he is healthy. And he didn't mean to be healthy, he really didn't meet an opponent who needed him to play his best.

That's when an exciting team appeared in front of the Grizzlies.

ESPN declared, "This is the first test for the Grizzlies and Link this season!" ”

The Milwaukee Bucks, upstart in the East, are about to meet the Grizzlies.

The "Greek monster" is ready to break ground in front of the king of Memphis.
