1028: The most underrated duo
Derek. Rose was blocked by Wade and Anthony was blocked by Link***.
These two pictures are enough to make the Knicks fans on the scene stop for a while.
Just how excited and happy the Knicks fans were, how much they were hit at this time.
Originally, Knicks fans were full of eagerness for this season, and Rose just scored a beautiful layup, which made the expectations of Knicks fans infinitely higher.
As a result, it didn't take long for their expectations to be disappointed.
Will grizzly bears be tied up? Apparently not!
They didn't come to Madison Square Garden to be a foil to the brand-new Knicks!
After Link's goal, the Knicks were ready to reorganize their offense.
Rose slowed down his pace and was no longer as aggressive as he had been in the first two rounds.
He knew that he couldn't fly as much as he did at his peak.
And Wade is not as unbearable as everyone thinks.
Wade was near the halfway line, and he was responsible for defending Rose today.
A breakthrough player like Rose needs Wade's same breakthrough type to defend the best effect.
As for Conley, he went to defend Contney. Lee's non-spherical type will be more accurate in judgment.
Many people think that Wade is not good this season, mainly because Wade's attack power has declined more than before.
As a guard, Wade hit a career-low seven three-pointers in the regular season last season, which seems incredible right now.
You know, Porzingis, a big man with a height of 2.21 meters, hit 81 three-pointers last season. Wade, as a defender, is not even a fraction of others.
In the absence of three-point shooting, his ability to break through the finish has regressed with age, which is why many people are not optimistic about Wade's prospects with the Grizzlies.
But most people focus only on the offensive end and ignore Wade's role on the defensive end.
Conley + Wade + Link, the outside defensive lineup composed of these three people is enough to make the outside of all teams in the league embarrassed.
Rose was stalked by Wade just after halftime.
"I also hope you get back in shape, Derek. Not today, though! While defending, Wade also spewed trash talk.
With Wade entangled, Rose handed the ball to Anthony.
If it had been two or three years ago, Anthony would have been singles.
But today, Anthony knew it would be difficult to win the match if he insisted on going head-to-head with Link.
He's got to tie everyone together and make this new roster work for the Knicks.
So, like a point guard, Anthony waited outside the three-point line for his teammates to run.
Porzingis pocketed out from under the basket and walked to the top of the three-point line, where Anthony hit the ground in time to send the ball to Porzingis.
Porzingis took the ball and shot, Harris was half a beat slower when he pounced, and the height difference between the two sides made Porzingis almost undisturbed.
In this way, Porzingis's three-point arc top hollow into the net, and the New York Knicks overtook again!
Madison Square Garden is buzzing again, yes, except for Derek. Rose, we've got a super genius!
"Damn it, my!" Harris raised his hand apologetically, Porzingis did not look at all like a man over 2.20 meters tall in terms of speed and shooting fluency.
'It's okay, he doesn't score all the time, as long as you keep playing against him.' Link smiled at Harris and didn't blame him too much.
Porzingis is indeed a genius, but he is nothing more than a second-year quip.
Just by him, want to stop Link and Wade, the two people with five championship rings in their hands?
It's so tender!
"Link, cover me!" Wade shouted at Link as he ran up to get ready to join the attack.
Link understood and immediately stepped forward to cover Wade after receiving the basketball.
"Link is actually covering Wade, which we didn't expect. It seems that Link does not see Wade as a deputy, and he is even willing to take the initiative to help Wade create opportunities. ”
Mike. As soon as Brin finished speaking, Wade borrowed Link's cover to burst into the box.
Rose couldn't get around Link in the first place, so Anthony had to switch to his old friend.
Anthony's feet were really not fast enough, and after three or two steps, Wade overtook Anthony by half a position.
But Anthony has the height advantage, and he is dead on Wade's side, blocking his shots.
Just as Wade broke through to the basket, "The Flash" suddenly threw the ball high into the air.
Anthony jumped up as well, but found that the arc of the basketball was too high. Flying in such an arc, it is impossible for the basketball to enter the basket at all. Wade, this guy wouldn't have put the ball on so crookedly.
Could it be ......
Anthony's eyes widened instantly, and at this time, Link, who jumped high, received the basketball thrown by Wade behind Anthony.
Rose couldn't afford to compete with Link for the ball in the air right now, he could only watch Link easily catch the basketball in the air and then smash the ball into the frame in the stretch!
"Boom!"
A beautiful aerial relay dunk put out the fire that had just ignited in Madison Square Garden!
"Lin Wei is connected! Hahahaha, this is the picture that many Memphis fans have been thinking about! Now, Link and Wade have made it a reality! It turned out that from the very beginning of this ball, it was Wade who was creating opportunities for Link! ”
Wade and Link's empty connection made many Knicks fans almost can't help but applaud.
Wade moved his classic combination with James to the Grizzlies as it was.
It's just that the person who receives Wade's pass now is even stronger than the previous No. 6!
Link smiled and reached out and gave Wade a gentle high-five.
The Knicks, on their side, have always played very seriously and have the momentum to fight the Grizzlies to the death.
But what about the Grizzlies? It's not hard to see from Link's state that he's actually been very relaxed.
While the Knicks were desperately hoping for a win against the Grizzlies, Link seemed to be just warming up for the game......
Maybe from the very beginning, Link didn't think about anything other than winning, just to see how to win.
As Link said, the Knicks lacked enough respect for the championship members.
They thought of the duo of Link and Wade as too simplistic.
Anthony then finally made a shot, but unlike Rose and Porzingis, Anthony missed the first shot of the day.
Anthony is in the right mid-range position with Link heads-up.
Anthony's current goals do not rely on explosive breakthroughs and forced punches, but more on shooting skills.
His sudden pull-out after three threats, or a turn-over jump shot in a back-to-back state, are all killer moves.
Most people can't control the rhythm of Anthony's three-threat pace at all. As long as they are swaying, even if it is just for a split second, Anthony can catch the gap and shoot!
But Link is different, Anthony finds that his triple threat pace seems to be completely undeceptive in front of Link!
Link's every step was well blocked, without giving Anthony any room to start.
There was no way, and Anthony ended up pulling it out without shaking Link away.
The result was known, Link's light-speed reaction made him reach out and seal it in front of Anthony's eyes for the first time.
Although Anthony didn't take the same amount of food as Rose, the basketball was also ridiculously off, hitting the side edge of the basket and narrowly missing it.
New York City's scoring champion also looked very weak in front of Link.
Gasol protects the rebound, and the Grizzlies go on the offensive again!
Link was aggressive in basketball this time, leaning on Anthony and breaking through to the penalty area.
There's no doubt that the Knicks' defense began to shrink in an instant. Link was surrounded by Knicks players in white jerseys at home.
Why are there only five defenders around Link? Because there are only five people in a basketball game!
Link, of course, didn't stand up to the Knicks, that's not his style.
I saw Link calmly distribute the ball from the crowd outside the three-point line and hand it to Wade!
Rose didn't pounce on it at the first time, but deliberately lured Wade to make a move.
A guard who only scores 7 three-pointers in a single season, who doesn't let him go.
If he presses it, Wade will pass the ball to other more dangerous people, which will be more difficult.
Wade did hesitate for a moment, but when he saw that Rose actually let himself vote directly, he became bold.
Seeing Wade's vacant shot, Link turned around with a smile and raised his right hand directly, comparing three fingers.
He's celebrating the goal early!
In the just-concluded preseason training camp, Wade worked his three-point shot.
Obviously, a player of Wade's age and covered in injuries can't improve as much as Dinwiddie and his ilk.
His three-point range is still not consistent enough, and he is far from being a shooter.
But at least compared to last season, Wade's three-point form is much better.
This kind of empty three-point without interference at all is no different from giving away points for Wade!
Sure enough, as soon as Link raised his right hand, he heard a "brush" sound behind him. This was followed by the sighs of Knicks fans.
"The ball is in, Dwayne. Wade, he hit the shot from beyond the three-point line! For two consecutive rounds, the Grizzlies' goals came from the connection between Link and Wade. Wade and Link are very well accommodating, and I think they are perhaps the most underrated duo of the season, not one of them! ”
From blocking to consecutive coordinated goals, Wade and Link's indiscriminate offense made confident Knicks fans begin to feel fear.
Jeff. Hornacek called a halt to the game, knowing that if he left it alone, the Grizzlies would soon be able to close the gap.
After the game was suspended, Wade walked over to Link and hammered his new partner on the chest, before the two slowly walked off the court together.
"Well passed, Link."
"You're really excited today, Dwayne."
"Of course, I think right now, Knicks fans and Phil. Jackson should know what respect is! Wade smiled, his cheeks bulging.
"Well, but you'd better be a little more restrained. Today's Knicks are mainly based on education. Anyway, give young people some chances. ”
"Well, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
After saying that, the two of them laughed out loud and enjoyed it.
Dave. After Jogger heard the conversation between Link and Wade, he covered his forehead speechlessly.
What's it like to have two players on a team at the same time?
Joggle assured that he was the first manager to know the answer.
