1224: To be pulled off the altar

The ratings of the NBA's new season opening game must have made Adam's joke laugh.

The Los Angeles derby between the Lakers and the Clippers was indisputable. Although Paul George did not play for the time being due to injury, the Lakers also lacked 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 apart at the last moment.

In fact, the competition process is more intense than the scores.

However, the Lakers and Clippers' game can only be regarded as an appetizer at most.

The opening match between the Grizzlies and the Nets is truly worthy of the title of the Focus Battle.

In the whole game, it was not just Irving, Link and Durant who performed outstandingly.

The rest of the two teams also played very hard.

Dillon Brooks scored 21 points, Dinwiddie dominated the rotation time, Howard flew to save the ball

Even if you eliminate those three superstars, it would be an impressive game.

Link's last five seconds of extreme backward three-pointer defeat made the excitement of the entire game sublimated.

There are confrontations, stars, anxious games and finals, nothing is more exciting than this.

After the game, the voices of questioning the Grizzlies instantly decreased.

Facts have proved that after the major change of blood, the Memphis Grizzlies still have the ability to wrestle with top-level teams.

Of course, people are not sure whether the Nets can become the top team in the league this season.

But a team with Durant and Irving is definitely not that bad.

The Grizzlies can stick to the end in such a game, at least it means that they will not be too weak this season.

Players who are considered useless to the Grizzlies also show their value.

Dillon Brooks is definitely a heavily undervalued potential stock.

As long as Dwight Howard is willing to be a blue-collar worker, he will definitely help his team.

Jamie Cheunger Green is far more versatile than everyone thinks.

Derek Ross also proved that his scoring data last season was not a result.

Sam Smith, who had been squirting each other with Link for the whole summer, was completely silent, and even he could not find any fault in this game.

Of course, Link's performance was as shocking as ever.

In terms of dominance in the game, Link does have the capital to be compared with Jordan.

The latest issue of Sports Illustrated selected the Grizzlies' Five Tigers as the cover, and the headline title was also written in dark blue bold font: "The threat of the Memphis people has not yet dissipated."

Four consecutive championships seem to be no longer an out-of-reach fantasy.

However, some people still believe that the victory or defeat of just one game cannot explain the Grizzlies' dominance.

Thinking back to the beginning, Michael Carter Williams scored 22 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds in his NBA debut, leading the 76ers to kill the Miami Heat, who was at its peak in the opening game.

At that time, people said that the 76ers were finally going to rise and that McAvey would become another point guard superstar.

What happened? The Sixers finally won only 19 games that season, second to last in the league.

And McAvey has also become another typical example of his debut as he is at his peak.

Therefore, a theory is the most unreliable.

There are still many people who believe that the Grizzlies cannot defeat the Nets just because of the opening game, which means that the Grizzlies must be very strong this season.

Just because the Grizzlies players perform well in the first game, it means that they can perform well in every game.

Whether the Grizzlies can do this season will have to watch a few more games before they can draw conclusions.

For a person about to retire, fans' requirements for Link and the Grizzlies are extremely demanding.

However, this is Link's standard. He has never lowered his requirements because this is his retirement year.

The Memphis Grizzlies are still very popular. Now, people are not only paying attention to Link's retirement tour, but also paying attention to the Grizzlies' next few games.

As long as the grizzly bear takes a wrong step, it will be immediately criticized by those outsiders who are eyeing him to doubt his life.

As a result, in the second game of the new season, the Grizzlies really lost. Now, all those who are not optimistic about the Grizzlies finally have reasons to cheer.

On October 24, the Grizzlies ushered in their first away game of the new season and went to the American Airlines Center to face their old rival Miami Heat.

Although the championship battle between the Grizzlies and the Heat was once very fierce, the current Heat has changed compared to that year.

The group of people who played the finals with the Grizzlies back then are now only one Haslem left.

This season, thanks to Jimmy Butler's joining, people are full of 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 yet, so he can only watch the game on the sidelines in a suit.

Most people also believe that the Heat without Butler may not cause too much trouble for the Grizzlies.

As a result, the Heat have been playing hard to match in this game. The young people of the Heat performed extremely well.

Rookie Justice Winslow scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. Moreover, when the Grizzlies were about to open the score, they hit the key ball to stabilize the situation.

Adebayo, a third-year-old, has also begun to realize his talent this season. The center, who is only 2.08 meters tall, scored a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds today.

His offensive shooting ability has improved much more than before. The most surprising thing is that this guy has actually developed excellent organizational skills.

Adebayo gave a total of 6 assists in this game. As a center, his organizational ability is quite amazing.

If Adebayo continues to maintain his performance today, he will be promoted to the ranks of first-tier centers.

But today the most amazing player of the Heat is not Adebayo, 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 behind the scenes, but because he is really not very famous.

Like Link, Kendrick Nunn was a undraft. After losing in the draft in 2018, he signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Warriors. As a result, Nunn was cut as soon as he finished the preseason.

It was not until this summer that he signed with the Heat that Nunn had the chance to return to the NBA.

Logically speaking, such players only guard the water dispenser, and it would be thankful that they could occasionally play rotations.

As a result, today, Spoelstra directly brought Nunn up. Nunn did not disappoint Spoelstra's trust. He scored 24 points in the whole game and his shooting percentage was as high as 55.6%!

Although Nunn lost the draft in 2018, this game can be regarded as his real NBA debut.

In terms of a undraft, Nunn's debut was perfect. When Link first landed in the NBA, his performance was not as explosive as Nunn.

After being scored 37 points by Irving in the last game, the Grizzlies' No. 1 position was beaten again.

Nunn's unexpected strength and Conley's poor performance have created another legend of losing draft.

In addition to these three young people, veteran Dragic, who came on as a substitute, also scored 19 points and 6 assists.

This is a typical Heat game. They are all soldiers, with tough defense and fearlessness. It sounds quite like the style of the Grizzlies back then.

In the end, the Heat narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 112-108, making a big upset! Although Link scored 31 points, Jokic also scored 22 points.

But overall, the Heat did perform better today.

After the game, the three young young men, Winslow, Nunn and Adebayo, became completely popular, but they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies!

The Grizzlies were praised when they won the Nets before, and how badly they were today.

"I said, a game is unreliable! They can beat the Nets, but they can also be suppressed by the young Heat! The Grizzlies' performance is not stable, and I think their ranking may fluctuate this year."

"Jimmy Butler can recover from his injuries with peace of mind. It turns out that even without him, the young people in the Heat can still fight hard."

"The Grizzlies really force themselves to win 55 when they fight with anyone, but in fact, they have indeed lost their dominance during the three consecutive championships."

"Mike Conley's condition is so scary. This guy's condition has been very serious. He was beaten by a undraft today, which is simply incredible."

"At the top of the strength rankings? Link is so awesome now."

Overnight, those who were waiting to watch the grizzly jokes got their wishes.

Watching the grizzly bears fall from the altar, this is what they most expect.

It seems that a declining Grizzlies are more in line with Link's identity as a player to be retired.

Two days later, on October 27, the Grizzlies defeated the Chicago Bulls 110-105 at home, avoiding a series of losses.

But the victory of this game did not improve the Grizzlies' reputation.

Because the Bulls are not a playoff-level team after all, the Grizzlies did not play a crushing position, but once again played 55 with the opponent.

And today, Bulls' first-year rookie Kobe White also scored 19 points against Conley and shot as high as 62.5%.

Conley's defense has reached the point where everyone is fighting!

Although I won the game, the Grizzlies did not recognize it.

It's so hard to play the Bulls, and many people think that the Grizzlies are just like this this season.

To make matters worse, Jamie Cheunger Green also needed to stop several games due to a sprained ankle in this game.

Although this is just a minor injury and the injury time is not long. However, at this critical moment, the lack of any major rotation players will be a huge blow to the Grizzlies.

In the next game, the Grizzlies will face their second strong opponent after the Nets this season, with James and "Thick-Brows" Anthony Davis.

Before the game started, countless Los Angeles fans shouted: "In 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 from the altar.

Everyone thought that the Grizzlies players must be as anxious as ants on a hot pan now.

However, they did not blame others.

It is better to find problems at the beginning of the season than to find problems in the playoffs.
