Chapter 1035 (1/2)
On the first day of the 16-17 season, the fans experienced the greatest charm of the season - uncertainty.
Because none of the three games on the opening day was the same as the fans expected.
After the defending champion Golden State Warriors accepted their championship ring at home, they were immediately robbed of their pants by the Spurs without Duncan.
In this game, Aldrich and Leonard scored 26 points and 25 points. One hit 50%, one 47.6%.
Efficient, simple and able to win, the ”double German combination” seems to have carried the Spurs' flag from Duncan's shoulder.
In contrast, the warriors, 21.2% of the team's three-point shooting rate is surprising. Although Durant and curry had 27 points and 26 points respectively, the efficiency of the warriors was too low.
Today, the warrior gives people the feeling that they are very relaxed, relaxed and belittle the enemy. It seems that they think they can kill the Spurs just by beating them casually.
However, when they were beaten by the Spurs, trying to get serious, they couldn't break out.
In the end, the Spurs defended the title with 129-100 blood abuse.
Facts have proved that even the warriors with a strong and abnormal lineup can not be taken lightly.
Once they relax a little, they will be thrown out of the altar!
Another game, the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Toronto Raptors, also surprised the fans.
Although the eastern champion Cavaliers won the game as expected, their winning process was extremely bumpy.
People thought James could easily win the Raptors with Owen and lefoy.
However, DeMar Derozan today suppressed James, Owen and other superstar players, the whole game down 32 points!
And none of the 32 points came from outside the three-point line.
Derozan is a No. 2 position who doesn't like and is not good at shooting three points, and his scoring style is very retro.
But it turns out that as long as the strength is strong enough, even in a retro way, it can create trouble for the opponent.
Under the excellent performance of Derozan, the Cavaliers were forced to the last 2.4 seconds, relying on Owen's saving three-point shot, to escape from danger.
Before the game began, it was agreed that the Cavs' position as the east leader would not be shaken.
But in fact, the wind is shaking and the rain is falling.
But the biggest surprise for fans was the Grizzlies and Knicks game.
As the first game to start the opening game, the audience rating of this game was the highest.
Phil Jackson's outspoken words, the verbal battle between link and the New York media, as well as the fans' curiosity about the new lineup of the Knicks, all made this game a great success.
Before the game started, many New York fans thought the Grizzlies would lose. And neutral fans, most of them think that the two sides may play five or five.
As a result, the Grizzlies won in Madison Square Garden.
Link didn't play very well, and the Grizzlies won. Wade, who has been thought to have little oil in his tank, scored 35 points in the first game after joining the Grizzlies!
All the fans watched the game with their mouths open. The gap between Grizzlies and Knicks is really too big!
In the three matches, none of them developed in the direction expected by the fans. From the very beginning of the 16-17 season, it was brilliant. These three games are a reminder to the fans - don't think everything is over.
After the Grizzlies' game with the Knicks, Phil Jackson became the target of public scorn.
Even a lot of Knicks fans are starting to attack ”Zen master.”.
”If Grizzlies are as bad as you say, what about Knicks?”
”Don't do that nonsense, Phil. Before you came, we were still a playoff team. But now, we're playing for the lottery
”To my great disappointment, Phil's magical aura can't be reproduced in New York.”
Sure enough, against Wade, even the ”Zen master” will not have any good fruit to eat.
However, the picky New York media have all along pointed their guns at the Knicks, all sorts of accusations.
Link sometimes thinks that the Knicks players are really miserable. Most local media will support the local team.
But in New York, you can never expect the New York media to be gentle with the Knicks.
If that's what New York calls big city exposure, link would rather not.
In any case, the Grizzlies and Knicks game, so that the league has regained respect for champion players.
