1029: Just the beginning
Wade possessed the ball close to the Knicks' half, and by this time, there was not much cheering in Madison Square Garden.
The game has now reached the middle of the second quarter, and in the first quarter, Jeff Brown. Hornacek's timeout didn't stop the Knicks' decline.
The crazy performances of Link and Wade put the Knicks on the back of a double-digit deficit at the end of the first quarter.
Thankfully, though, the Knicks still had plenty of time to equalize.
Knicks fans are pinning their hopes on the second three quarters of the game, and they still believe that this new Knicks team can turn the tide.
However, in the middle of the second quarter, when an angry Wade returned to the court, the illusions of Knicks fans were shattered again.
At this time, it was Justin who was defending Wade. Holiday is Pelicans All-Star guard Zhu. Holiday is the older brother.
Justin. Holiday isn't as well-known as his brother, he wasn't even drafted when he entered the draft, and like Link, he was undrafted.
Although he has barely gained a foothold in the NBA in the past two years, he has also wandered everywhere, and has changed three teams in two years.
Facing Holiday made Wade look more confident.
Because just now, he has hit two three-pointers! Now, Wade's three-point shooting percentage in the second quarter of the game is 2 of 3 shots!
As soon as Wade came on the court in the second quarter, he hit two three-pointers in a row, which made the Knicks, who had finally seen a little light, fall into despair again.
Of course, let everyone on the scene, including Mike. Brin was taken aback.
Counting that open three-pointer in the first quarter, Wade has hit three three-pointers today!
The three-point score he scored in the first half of the game was almost half of the total number of three-point points he scored in the whole season last season!
No one expected Wade to burst out so much power from beyond the three-point line, and the Knicks paid a terrible price for their pride and contempt.
Link couldn't help but sigh as he watched Wade's crazy performance.
That's where the veteran superstar comes in, and a lot of people don't understand why the Grizzlies signed Wade, and that's why.
With a player like Wade, sometimes the ceiling is more than you think.
Wade has fully opened, so this time, he "intensified" a back-step three-pointer!
On the left side of the pitch, facing Justin. Holiday and Wade feigned a breakthrough. When Holiday stepped back, Wade suddenly stepped back and retreated outside the three-point line, shook out the space, and immediately shot!
Step-back three-pointers, which is not Wade's good move.
But when he hits the touch, he doesn't care if he's good at it or not.
Phil. Jackson's eyes were fixed on the orange basketball, and his heart seemed to be falling with the basketball.
A second later, the Nets tumbled up. Wade stepped back and hit a three-pointer, and it was his third consecutive three-pointer of the game!
"Again, Dwayne. Wade was unrelenting from beyond the three-point line today! The Knicks trailed by 18 points, and before halftime was over, they were already 18 points behind! Jeff. Hornacek won't be happy, Phil. Jackson won't be happy, and Knicks fans won't be happy! The course of this game was definitely very different from what they expected! ”
Wade faced the stands and faced Phil. Jackson, then puffed out his biceps with one hand and put the other hand on his lips and made a "shhh
The camera showed the "Zen master", and his face, which was extremely confident last night, was only full of embarrassment and embarrassment at this time.
"He's just going to hide behind LeBron, and without LeBron, he doesn't seem to win."
"Truth be told, Dwayne is nowhere near as great as it seems."
Last night, how arrogant the "Zen Master" was in the show, how cool Wade sprayed, and how embarrassed he was at this time.
The "not-so-great" player he calls is beating the team he is proud of!
If you don't know what it means to be insured? Then look at Phil now.
Wade's three-point rain stopped the Knicks again, and Link didn't even make much of a shot, and the Knicks seemed to be unable to withstand it.
Now, countless New York media must be secretly scolding the Knicks in their hearts.
They originally expected the new Knicks to be able to challenge for the championship, but now they can't even beat the Grizzlies, who can't even enter the Finals.
They originally thought that the grizzly bear was just a foil today, but the foil turned out to beat the protagonist so much that he couldn't hold his head up.
They all cursed in their hearts that the Knicks were not angry, and this team was just mud that couldn't hold up the wall.
However, it was they themselves who lifted the Knicks to the sky in the first place.
This is the New York media.
Wade's three-point rain extinguished the burning fire in the hearts of the Knicks.
In the games that followed, both Anthony and Rose had a very tough fight. They can still score goals, but the efficiency is a bit less flattering.
Today, the best performer for the Knicks was Porzingis.
He shouldered the offensive responsibility of the Knicks, and the few highlights of the Knicks came from Porzingis.
However, as Link said, Porzingis is nothing more than a second-year imp.
In Tobias. Harris and Harrell took turns to torture, and finally, at the end of the third quarter, Porzingis was physically exhausted.
Porzingis' fitness problems were exposed last season.
Not only did he show weakness in the second half of every game, but over time, the further back he played throughout the season, the worse Porzingis' performance became.
If the Latvian's fitness situation improves, he will undoubtedly become a superstar for a new generation.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a perfect player in this world.
Porzingis couldn't keep up the firepower, and the Knicks lost their only weapon they could compete with the Grizzlies.
In the end, Link went off the court with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
This is probably Link's worst stats in the opener in recent years.
But when Link was off the court, there was jubilation on the Grizzlies' bench.
Because at this point, the game has already entered garbage time four minutes early! And that's the only reason why Link's data isn't so dazzling.
Before he could break out, the enemy was already lying down.
"Dave. Joggle replaces Link and the game is over! I know there's four minutes left before the game is really over. But I don't think the Knicks can turn around by 26 points in the last four minutes! ”
Mike. After Brin finished speaking, he looked up at the stands at Madison Square Garden.
As expected, there weren't many fans left in the stands. Most of the expectant New Yorkers have already left early.
The mood was bad enough now, and they didn't want to be stuck in a traffic jam for a while.
Phil. What about Jackson? He's also gone, long gone.
Maybe he also knew that he really didn't have the face to sit here.
Yes, in the face of Wade's 35 points and 10 rebounds, plus a three-point shooting percentage of 5-of-7, Phil. Jackson certainly couldn't sit still.
If he gets caught by a reporter, he doesn't know what to do.
It's just bitter for Ross, Noah, Anthony and Porzingis, Phil. The anger provoked by Jackson was sprinkled on them by Wade.
"Dwayne. Wade must have disappointed many New York fans, and in his first game with the Grizzlies, he scored 35 points, and there was no better debut than this! And, if Wade makes two more three-pointers, he will tie his three-point shooting tally with last season. Don't overlook Dwayne this year, who has proven himself to be Link's right-hand man! ”
Link, who stepped off the court, smiled at Wade, then shook his head slightly.
"What about good education?"
"I didn't control my strength, and I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable." Wade shrugged, looking innocent.
In the end, the Grizzlies players spent four minutes laughing on the bench. Because Wade kept telling everyone bad jokes on the bench, which amused everyone.
117-95, when the electronic beep sounded, the difference between the two sides was fixed at 22 points.
And in Madison Square Garden, there were also boos.
However, Link believes that this time, the boos are not directed at them.
Rose shot 6-of-13 from the field and scored just 13 points in the game.
Anthony scored just one point less than Link, but his 33.3 percent shooting percentage was nothing to be desired.
Joaquin. Noah performed well, with 6 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and the statistics were quite comprehensive.
But Gasol's 14 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists completely suppressed it.
With the exception of Porzingis, no one on this new Knicks team has lived up to fan expectations.
It was Wade, on the other hand, who surprised everyone.
The 34-year-old "Uncle Wei" is still able to kill the game, and he is not as unbearable as people predicted.
Sure enough, your uncle is still your uncle.
After the game, a reporter approached Link and asked him how he would evaluate the season opener.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to lose from the beginning, it was just wishful thinking from the New York media that we were dangerous. Also, to anger Dwayne, it's really not something smart people do. Right, Phil? "Link has a hippie smile, he can't take it seriously this whole game.
Because it's really stress-free!
"So, do you think you're really going to be back in contention this season?"
However, when faced with this question, Link's expression was noticeably more serious.
He's worked so hard and prepared for so long, and it's not just to win the Knicks!
So Link looked at the camera fiercely and hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Everybody better get ready, because the terrible Memphis Grizzlies are back! Today, it's just the beginning. ”
The terrifying aura emitted by the grizzly bear, after a year, began to spread in the alliance again.
