One thousand two hundred and twenty-four
The ratings of the NBA’s new season opener must have made Adam’s jokes crooked.
The Los Angeles derby of the Lakers and the Clippers is inextricably played. Although Paul George has not played due to injury, the Lakers are also missing players such as Kuzma and Rondo.
But even so, the two teams played very well.
In the end, although the Lakers lost a full 10 points, most of these 10 points were pulled away at the last minute.
In fact, the game is more intense than the score shows.
However, the Lakers and Clippers game can only be regarded as an appetizer at best.
The opening game between the Grizzlies and the Nets is truly worthy of the title of Focus.
In the whole game, it was not only the three stars of Irving, Link and Durant who performed outstandingly.
The other players on both teams also played very hard.
Dillon Brooks scored 21 points, Dinwiddie ruled the rotation time, Howard flew to save…
Even if those three superstars are eliminated, this is an impressive game.
And Link’s three-point lore in the last five seconds of the extreme backwards made the whole game more exciting.
There are confrontations, stars, anxious matches, and lore. Nothing is more exciting.
After the game, the voice of questioning the Grizzlies was much less.
Facts have proved that the Memphis Grizzlies still have the ability to wrestle with the top teams after the big change.
Of course, people are not sure if the Nets can become the league’s top team this season.
But a team that sits on Durant and Irving will certainly not be much worse.
The Grizzlies can last to the end in such a game, at least it shows that they will not be too weak this season.
Those players who were deemed useless for the Grizzlies also showed their value.
Dillon Brooks is definitely a potential stock that is seriously underestimated.
If Dwight Howard is willing to be a blue-collar, he can definitely help his team.
Jie Michael Green is far more versatile than everyone thought.
Derrick Rose also proved that his scoring data last season was not the result of brushing out.
Sam Smith, who had sprayed with Link all summer, was completely silent, and even he couldn’t find anything wrong with this game.
Of course, Link’s performance was as shocking as ever.
As far as the dominance of the game is concerned, Link does have the capital to be compared with Jordan.
In the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, the Grizzlies’ starting five were selected as the cover, and the headline title also wrote in dark blue bold font: “The threat of the Memphis has not yet dissipated.”
The four consecutive championships seem to be no longer an unattainable fantasy.
However, there are still some people who believe that the victory of just one game cannot explain the dominance of the Grizzlies.
At the beginning, Michael Carter-Williams scored 22 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds in his NBA debut. He led the 76ers to kill the Miami Heat in the opening game.
At that time, people said that the 76ers are finally going to rise, and McAway will become another point guard superstar.
The results of it? The 76ers won only 19 games that season, the second lowest in the league.
McAway has also become another typical example of the peak of debut.
Therefore, the field theory is the least reliable.
There are still many people who think that the Grizzlies must be very strong this season if they can’t kill the Nets because of the Grizzlies opener.
Not just because the Grizzlies players performed well in the first game, it means that they can perform well in every game.
Whether the Grizzlies will do this season, it will take a few more games to draw a conclusion.
For a person who is about to retire, the fans’ requirements for Link and Grizzlies are extremely harsh.
However, this is Link’s standard. He has never lowered his requirements because it was his retirement year.
The Memphis Grizzlies are still eye-catching. Now, people are not only paying attention to Link’s retirement tour, but also to the Grizzlies’ record in the next few games.
As long as the Grizzlies take a wrong step, they will immediately be sprayed with doubts about life by those eye-catching guys outside.
In the second game of the new season, the Grizzlies really lost. Now, all those who are not optimistic about the Grizzlies finally have a reason to cheer.
On October 24, the Grizzlies ushered in their first away game in the new season, heading to the American Airlines Center to face their old rivals, the Miami Heat.
Although the championship battle between the Grizzlies and the Heat used to be fierce, the current Heat team is nothing short of what it used to be.
Those who played the finals with the Grizzlies, now there is only one Haslem left.
This season, because of Jimmy Butler’s joining, people have unlimited expectations for the Heat. After all, the Heat were only two games away from the playoffs last season.
But Butler’s injury has not recovered, so he can only watch the battle in a suit.
Most people also think that without Butler’s Heat, it may not be too much trouble for the Grizzlies.
As a result, in this game, the Heat have been playing inextricably with the Grizzlies. The young people of the Heat have played extremely well.
15 years 10 rookie Justis Winslow scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in this campaign. And, many times when the Grizzlies were about to open the score, hit the key ball to stabilize the situation.
The third-year Adebayor has also begun to honour his talents this season. The center, who is only 2.08 meters tall, froze today with a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.
His shooting ability on the offensive end has improved too much than before. The most surprising thing is that this guy has actually developed an excellent organizational ability.
In this game, Adebayor sent a total of 6 assists. As a center, his organizational ability is quite amazing.
If Adebayor continues to maintain today’s performance, he will surely be promoted to the ranks of first-line center.
But the most amazing player on the Heat today is not Adebayor, but Kendrick Nunn, who is 1.88 meters tall.
If you don’t know who Kendrick Nunn is, don’t worry, it’s not that you are out of date, but because he is really not well known.
Kendrick Nunn, like Link, was a loser. After participating in the draft in 18 years, he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Warriors. As a result, Nunn was waived as soon as the preseason was over.
It wasn’t until he signed with the Heat this summer that Nunn had a chance to return to the NBA.
It stands to reason that this kind of player also guards the drinking fountain, and it’s thank good for being able to make a rotation occasionally.
As a result, today, Spoelstra directly put Nunn in the starting lineup. Nunn did not live up to the trust of Spoelstra. He scored 24 points in the game and shot 55.6%!
Although Nunn was undrafted in 18 years, this game can be regarded as his true NBA debut.
In terms of a losing draft, Nunn’s debut was perfect. When Link first landed in the NBA, his performance was not as explosive as Nunn.
After being cut 37 points by Irving in the last game, the Grizzlies’ number one position was blown.
Nunn’s unexpected strength and Conley’s crotch performance have created another undrafted legend.
In addition to these three young people, the bench veteran Dragic also scored 19 points and 6 assists.
This is a typical Heat team game, they are all soldiers, defensive tough, fearless. It sounds like a grizzly bear.
In the end, the Heat also narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 112 to 108, making a big upset! Although Link scored 31 points, Jokic also scored 22 points.
But overall, the Heat did play better today.
After the game, the three youngsters Winslow, Nunn and Adebayor were completely popular. They defeated the Memphis Grizzlies!
And how high the Grizzlies were when they won the Nets, how bad they were today.
“I said, one game is not reliable! They can kill the Nets, but they can also be suppressed by the young Heat! The Grizzlies’ performance is not stable, I think their rankings this year may also fluctuate. .”
“Jimmy Butler can heal his wounds at ease. It turns out that even without him, the Heat’s young people still have a tough fight.”
“The Grizzlies are really going 50-50 against anyone, but in fact, they did lose their dominance during their three consecutive championships.”
“Mike Conley’s state is really scary. This guy’s state has declined very badly. He was blown out by a losing draft today. It’s incredible.”
“Getting to the top of the power rankings? Link is really bragging now.”
Overnight, those who were waiting to see the grizzly bear jokes got their wish.
Watching the Grizzlies fall from the altar, this is what they most expect.
It seems that a declining Grizzlies is more in line with Link’s identity as a retiring player.
Two days later, on October 27, the Grizzlies defeated the Chicago Bulls 110-105 at home, avoiding a losing streak.
But the victory of this game did not improve the Grizzlies’ reputation.
Because the Bulls are not a playoff-level team after all, but the Grizzlies did not play a crushing situation, but once again played 55 open with the other party.
And today, the Bulls’ first-year rookie Kobe White also scored 19 points and shot 62.5% when facing Conley.
Conley’s defense has reached the point where everyone is playing!
Although this game was won, it did not allow the Grizzlies to be recognized.
Playing the Bulls is so hard, and many people think that the Grizzlies are nothing more than that this season.
To make matters worse, in this game, Jie Michael Green also needed to stop a few games due to a sprained ankle Although this is only a minor injury, the injury time is not long. But at this moment, the lack of any major rotation players is a huge blow to the Grizzlies.
In the next game, the Grizzlies will face the second strong enemy after the Nets this season, the Los Angeles Lakers with James and “Browser” Anthony Davis.
Before the game began, countless Los Angeles fans yelled: “At Staples, the Lakers will tear off the last fig leaf of the Grizzlies.”
It seems that as long as the Lakers humiliate the Grizzlies once, they can completely fall into the altar.
Everyone thought that the Grizzlies players must be anxious like ants on a hot pot now.
However, they did not blame others.
It’s better to find a problem at the beginning of the season than to find it in the playoffs.
When everyone thought the Grizzlies team was demoralized and lost confidence, they were already looking for a solution to the problem.
