1029: just the beginning
Wade took the ball close to the Knicks' half, and at this time, there was no more cheers in Madison Square Garden.
The game has now reached the middle of the second quarter. In the first quarter, Jeff Hornersek's timeout did not stop the Knicks' decline.
Link and Wade's crazy performance made the Knicks fall into a double-digit lag at the end of the first quarter.
Fortunately, the Knicks still have enough time to equalize the score.
Knicks fans are hoping for the last three quarters, and they still believe that this brand new Knicks can turn the tide.
However, in the middle of the second quarter, when the angry Wade returned to the game, the fantasies of the Knicks fans were shattered again.
At this time, Justin Holiday, the brother of Pelicans All-Star guard Zhu Holiday.
Justin Holiday is not as famous as his younger brother. He was not even selected when he participated in the draft. He was like Link.
Although he has barely gained a foothold in the NBA in the past two years, he has also wandered around and changed three teams in two years.
Facing Holiday, Wade seemed more confident.
Because just now, he had already hit two three-pointers! Now, Wade's three-point shooting percentage in the second quarter is 2 of 3 shots!
As soon as Wade came on the court in the second quarter, he made two three-pointers in a row, which made the Knicks, who had finally seen a little light, fall into despair again.
Of course, it also surprised everyone on the scene, including Mike Bryn.
Including the open three-pointer in the first quarter, Wade has already hit three three-pointers today!
The three-pointers he scored in half the game were almost half the total of the three-pointers he scored in the whole season last season!
No one expected that Wade would burst out with such great power outside the three-point line. The Knicks paid a heavy price for their pride and contempt.
Link couldn't help sighing when he watched Wade's crazy performance.
This is the role of the old superstar. Many people don’t understand why the Grizzlies signed Wade, and that’s why.
Players like Wade sometimes have a cap that exceeds your imagination.
Wade has been completely opened, so this time, he "has become more powerful" and takes a three-pointer in the back!
On the left side of the court, facing Justin Holiday, Wade pretended to break through. When Holiday retreated, Wade suddenly retreated to the outside of the three-point line, shook out of the space, and took action immediately!
Retreat three points, this is not a move Wade is good at.
But when he hits the touch, he doesn't care whether he is good at it.
Phil Jackson's eyes were staring at the orange-red basketball, and his heart seemed to be falling with the basketball.
A second later, the Nets rolled up. Wade took a step back and made a three-pointer, which was also his third consecutive three-pointer in this quarter!
"I'm in again, Dwayne Wade is not ruthless outside the three-point line today! The Knicks are 18 points behind. Before the half-time game is over, they are already 18 points behind! Jeff Hornersek will not be happy, Phil Jackson will not be happy, and Knicks fans will definitely not be happy! The progress of this game is definitely a huge difference from what they expected!"
Wade faced the stands and looked at Phil Jackson, then bulged his Hong's biceps with one hand and placed the other on his lips, making a "shhh" move.
The camera was given to the "Zen Master". His face, which was extremely confident last night, was full of embarrassment and embarrassment at this time.
"He will just hide behind LeBron and leave LeBron, and he will not seem to win."
"To be honest, Dwyne is far from as great as it seems on the surface."
Last night, the more arrogant the "Zen Master" was on the show, the more pleasant he was to criticize Wade, the more embarrassing he was at this time.
The "not that great" player he mentioned is playing the team he is proud of to pieces!
If you don’t know what it means to lose your health in the evening? Then take a look at Phil now.
Wade's three-pointer rain stopped the Knicks again. Before Link could take any action, 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 this new Knicks to win the championship, but now they can't even beat the Grizzlies who can't even enter the finals.
They originally thought that the Grizzlies were just foiling today, but they ended up beating the protagonist so hard that they couldn't raise their heads.
They all cursed the Knicks in their hearts for being unsuccessful, and this team was just a mud that could not be supported by the wall.
However, it was them who brought the Knicks to the sky themselves.
This is the New York media.
Wade's three-pointer rain extinguished the burning fire in the Knicks' hearts.
In the subsequent games, Anthony and Rose played very hard. They still scored goals, but their efficiency was a bit unsatisfactory.
Today, the Knicks performed best is Porzingis.
He took on the offensive responsibility of the Knicks, and the few highlight moments of the Knicks were all from Porzingis.
However, as Link said, Porzingis was just a second-grade devil.
Under the repeated torture of Tobias Harris and Harrell, finally, at the end of the third quarter, Porzingis was exhausted.
Porzingis' physical fitness problems were exposed last season.
He was not just weak in the second half of each game, but over time, the worse the Porzingis played the whole season.
If the Latvian's physical fitness can improve, he will undoubtedly become a new generation of superstars.
It’s a pity that there are no perfect players in this world.
Porzingis could not continue his firepower, and the Knicks also lost their only weapon to compete with the Grizzlies.
In the end, Link got off the court with a "bad" data of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
This may be the worst data in Link's opening game in recent years.
But when Link got out, the Grizzlies' bench was full of joy.
Because at this time, the game had already entered garbage time four minutes ahead of schedule! This is also the only reason why Link's data is not so dazzling.
Before he could break out, the enemy had already fallen down.
"Dave Joggle replaced Link and the game was over! I know that there are still four minutes left before the game is truly over. But I don't think the Knicks can reverse 26 points in the last 4 minutes!"
After Mike Bryn finished speaking, he looked up at the stands in Madison Square Garden.
As expected, there are not many fans left in the stands. Most of the New Yorkers who are full of expectations have already left the game early.
It's already bad enough now, and they don't want to be bothered by traffic jams later.
Where is Phil Jackson? He is no longer here, he is no longer in the stands.
Maybe he also knew that he was really shameless to sit here.
Yes, Phil Jackson will definitely not be able to sit still against Wade's 35 points and 10 rebounds, plus a three-point shooting percentage of 5 of 7 shots.
If he is caught by a reporter later, he still doesn't know how to deal with it.
It only made Ross, Noah, Anthony and Porzingis, and the anger that Phil Jackson provoked was spread on them by Wade.
"Dwyne Wade must have disappointed many New York fans. He scored 35 points in the first game of joining the Grizzlies, which is simply no more perfect debut! And as long as Wade scored two more three-pointers, his three-point shooting will tie last season. Don't ignore Dwyne this year. He has proven that he will become Link's right-hand man!"
Link, who walked off the court, smiled at Wade, and shook his head gently.
"What about education that is agreed upon?"
"I didn't control my strength, nor did I expect them to be so vulnerable." Wade shrugged with an innocent look on his face.
Finally, the Grizzlies players spent four minutes laughing back and forth on the bench. Because Wade kept telling everyone a joke on the bench, everyone was amused.
117 to 95, when the electronic beep sounded, the difference between the two sides was frozen at 22 points.
And there were boos in the Madison Square Garden.
But Link believed that this time, the boo was not for them.
Ross made 6 of 13 shots, with only 13 points in the game.
Anthony's score is only one point less than Link, but his 33.3% shooting percentage is really exciting.
Jokin Noah performed well, with 6 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and his data was quite comprehensive.
However, Gasol's data of 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists completely suppressed him.
Except for Porzingis, no one in this new Knicks performed as fans expected.
On the contrary, Wade surprised everyone.
"Uncle Wei" who is already 34 years old is still able to kill the game, and he is not as unbearable as people predict.
Sure enough, your uncle is still your uncle.
After the game, a reporter found Link and asked him how he evaluated the opening game of the new season.
"To be honest, I never thought I would lose from the beginning, but the New York media wishfully thought we were in danger. Also, angering Dwayne was not something smart people did. Right, Phil?" Link smiled and couldn't take it seriously for the whole game.
Because there is really no pressure!
"So, do you think you can really return to the championship this season?"
However, when facing this problem, Link's expression became much more serious.
He has worked hard for so long and prepared for so long, not just to win the Knicks!
So Link looked at the camera hideously and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Everyone's better be prepared because the terrible Memphis Grizzlies are back! Today is just the beginning."
Chapter completed!
