Before the game started, the smell of gunpowder between Link and the New York media had already begun to diffuse.
So that, the duel between the Grizzlies and the Knicks, two unrelated teams in the previous years, is even more eye-catching than the other two openers of the Warriors vs. Spurs and Cavaliers vs. Raptors.
Of course, the self-confidence of the New York media is not groundless. Because from the paper lineup, the Knicks do have a strong strength.
Anthony will not say it. Although the gap between James and James has been getting bigger and bigger over the years, he even failed to lead the team to the playoffs last season, but he is still considered one of the best scorers in the league.
And Porzingis, a Latvian kid, was booed by Knicks fans in the draft, but he has proven that he is fully worthy of the fourth overall pick.
Last season, the first-year Porzingis averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and also scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 7 blocks per game and 16 points in a single quarter.
Now he is undoubtedly the treasure in the hearts of Knicks fans.
As for Rose, he played 66 games last season and averaged 16.4+4.7+3.4 per game. He is still very competitive. Although his state is not comparable to that of the MVP period, everyone is always looking forward to Rose.
In case this "lottery" really hits, the Knicks can take off on the spot.
Although Noah suffered a serious injury last season, as a two-time All-Star and a former first defense member, everyone believes that Noah can at least do better than the Knicks' starting center Robin Lopez. .
This lineup is actually very dreamy. Moreover, the Knicks also made it clear this year that they will no longer be obsessed with the triangle offense.
This is great news!
In the previous two seasons, under the leadership of Fisher, the Knicks had a terrible record.
"Zen Master" Phil Jackson let Fischer, who had just retired, acted as the coach, mainly because he believed that Fischer could reproduce the glory of the triangle offense in New York.
After all, when the Lakers won the championship, Fisher was the Lakers champion point guard. His understanding of the triangle offense is quite profound.
But contrary to expectations, the triangle offense did not achieve results in New York. Fischer was finally fired by "Zen Master" in February of this year, at the end of last season.
However, because the Knicks’ record last season was incurable, after Fischer was out of class, the Knicks simply let Kurt Rambis, who had little success in the coaching position, serve as interim head coach. Finished last season.
But this summer, while the Knicks brought in powerful players, they also reached a cooperation with Jeff Hornacek.
It is believed that Hornacek will do better than Fischer and Rambis as the head coach. Moreover, the "Zen Master" has stated more than once that he will give Hornacek sufficient autonomy and will not interfere too much with Hornacek's coaching.
Out of the triangle offense, the New York fans are even more confident. Because it turns out that the triangle offense is not a tactic for all teams.
In the past two years, Knicks fans have been tortured crazy by the triangle offense.
Now, they have a bunch of great players and a reliable coach.
may really bottom out and have a beautiful season!
And the start of this beautiful season may start with defeating the Grizzlies!
The confidence of the New York media and Knicks fans comes from these things.
The day before the game started, the Grizzlies players officially landed in New York.
But here, the Grizzlies naturally cannot have any good fruit.
"Dwyane, do you really think joining the Grizzlies is the right choice? Do you think you can defeat Rose here?"
"Nikola, are you about to fight Porzingis, do you feel nervous? After all, the gap between you is visible to the naked eye!"
"Link, are you worried that you will be alone. If your teammates can't stand up, will you stick to the end? After all, you almost carried the team in the playoffs last season. Do you think the Grizzlies still have a chance to win against the Knicks with your own strength?"
As soon as they got off the plane, the Grizzlies players received a "warm welcome" from the New York media.
On the route of the Grizzlies bus, countless Knicks fans also raised some abusive signs on the street.
"It's crazy, this world is crazy." Link looked at the scene outside the window and shook his head.
"What? It's not the first time you have encountered this kind of thing, right?" Wade sitting next to Link was a little curious, because this should be just a small scene for Link.
"No, I mean, it's only been a year since we established the dynasty, and the Knicks fans dare to challenge us like this. They are crazy, maybe they have forgotten how painful they were when they were beaten by the Grizzlies. . New Yorkers, really a bunch of forgetful guys."
Looking at the unsightly name cards outside the window, Link smiled disdainfully.
On the only 50-point triple-double record in Madison Square Garden, he still left his name!
How long has it been since they just expanded like that.
That night, when the Grizzlies players were resting in the hotel. As one of the general managers of the team with the most plays in the league, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson also chatted about tomorrow's game on a local show in New York.
"How do I say? I am full of confidence in the team. After all, we have worked hard for this for a long time. And Link? Hahahaha, in a critical period, he will only use his privileges to take his friends to Hawaii. Enjoyment. I guess that Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace and owner Robert Pella were both furious at the time. Indeed, Link and Grizzlies have had their glory. But with this attitude toward the new People in the season will not succeed."
"Zen Master" Jackson was eloquent in the show, don't look at the wise face of "Zen Master", don't look at the brilliance he has led the Bulls and Lakers to create.
From beginning to end, Phil Jackson is not a gentleman.
Especially after joining the Knicks management, Phil Jackson went further and further on the road to become a "net celebrity" and made various inexplicable remarks.
He once publicly stated that there is no problem with his triangle offense. The problem is with the current players. "The players now don’t know how to play the triangle offense at all. They don’t know what execution tactics are, they will only be brainless one-on-one.
He has publicly criticized Porzingis, thinking that although he has made progress, he is far from outstanding.
He once accused Anthony explicitly and secretly, "We were the favorites to win the championship, but it's a pity that some people are not well integrated into the team system."
If it weren't because he had been brilliant in the NBA, then he would be no different from a professional fan.
The level of his speaking is completely inversely proportional to his achievements in the NBA ~EbookFREE.me~.
As the general manager of the Knicks, Jackson will naturally come into contact with many players and talk about it. Before talking to Phil Jackson, many players were full of expectations and respected him.
But according to reporters, Jackson often couldn't grasp the key points when negotiating with the players, and the questions asked were not marginal.
And most players will be disappointed after negotiating with Jackson and have a question, "Wait? This is Phil Jackson? It's really awful!"
Jackson's tenure in the Knicks management period is simply a typical representative of the late season.
But Jackson himself never tired of it, always speaking publicly over and over again.
Only this time, he aimed at Link.
After talking about Link, Jackson seems not to be satisfied. As a result, the war was brought to the Grizzlies' second-biggest player Wade.
"How do you comment on Wade joining the Grizzlies this summer? There is nothing to comment on, and I am not surprised at all. A few years ago, he would only hide behind LeBron. LeBron seemed to not be able to win without LeBron. Now, He needs a new shelter. And Link is his best choice. To be honest, Dwyane is far from being as great as it seems on the surface."
From fans to reporters to general manager, the Grizzlies players felt a deep malice in New York.
To tell the truth, Link's heart is not disturbed. After all, he has been a villain in this league for many years. Being scolded and hacked is normal.
But the person who joined the Grizzlies is not as "magnanimous" as Link...
