One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Six: 1 Side Fell

Link scored 53 points in three quarters, and the Grizzlies defeated the Rockets in three quarters, sending the game directly into garbage time.

The result of this game provided the first surprise of this "March Madness".

This campaign also caused the Warriors' arrogance to suddenly disappear. The Grizzlies' state made the Warriors very afraid.

Perhaps the difficult schedule in their eyes is nothing more than that in Link's eyes. It is simply unrealistic to rely on the strength of others to defeat the grizzly bear.

Everyone understands that it is no coincidence that the Grizzlies were able to defeat the Rockets in just three quarters.

Although the Rockets' three-point shooting in this game was a bit cold, they did not lose nearly 40 points to the Grizzlies.

In the final analysis, it was because of Link's 53 points in three quarters that the Rockets were completely defeated.

He is a player who can end the game on his own. If Link wants to, he can also lead the team to play many games where he clocks out in three quarters.

The Grizzlies' devilish schedule has not shown a difficult side so far, but the Warriors, who thought they had an easy schedule, have fallen into trouble one after another.

On March 5, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Warriors almost overturned again.

The Knicks' record this season is not good. Their current record of 25 wins and 37 losses is very different from what they originally expected.

At the beginning of the season, people's expectations for the Knicks were to compete for the championship. It is believed that with their strong lineup, the Knicks should be able to break James' dominance of the Eastern Conference.

As a result, the Knicks are now barely able to even make the playoffs.

The lineup composed of Rose, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah did not reach the heights expected.

Not even half of the height expected.

Injury issues are one of the biggest obstacles to the Knicks' success. Noah was retired for the season after playing tepid 46 games this season.

The "glass attributes" of Rose and Porzingis kept them playing in and out, and they never played a good and continuous game.

Although Anthony's attendance rate is higher than all of them, he also suffers from minor injuries.

ESPN has compiled statistics on how many times Rose, Anthony, Porzingis and Noah actually competed on the same court this season.

In fact, less than ten games.

If you were to name the most disappointing team this season, the New York Knicks would definitely be at the top of the list.

Now, with basically no hope of the playoffs, the Knicks are playing increasingly depressed.

Since there is no hope of the playoffs and championship, the management is more willing to gamble on Fultz and Lonzo Ball, who will participate in the draft this summer.

All in all, the current Knicks are basically a bad team. A bad team with three major stars: Rose, Anthony and Porzingis.

The ridiculing label "the most extravagant team in history" has been attached to the Knicks.

However, facing such a Knicks, facing such a team that is not even ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference, the defending champion Warriors almost died in New York!

"Stephen Curry hit a three-pointer, and the Warriors led by 5 points in the last 38 seconds! This was a key three-pointer. Curry pulled the Warriors back from the abyss! It was too dangerous, it was really too dangerous . If this three-pointer had not been scored, the situation would have been very different!"

The New York commentators were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. If the three-pointer was not scored, the Knicks might have suffered the biggest upset of the season.

Derrick Rose put his hands on his knees and let out a few big breaths.

He did his best today. He scored a team-high 28 points in an extremely retro way.

So far in today's game, Rose has only made one shot from outside the three-point line, and he has not made a hit yet.

In other words, Rose's 28 points today were almost all obtained through breakthroughs!

Knicks fans are very heartbroken. Rose's performance today definitely deserves the victory. It can be said that this was even one of Rose's best games in the Knicks.

However, Stephen Curry's three-pointer completely ruined everything.

In the Knicks' last attack, Carmelo Anthony tried a three-pointer but failed to hit.

The Warriors seized this long rebound opportunity to counterattack, widening the point difference to 7 points, ending this tense game.

In the end, the score was settled at 105 to 112. The Warriors didn't open up the gap with the Knicks until the last 38 seconds.

Rose made 9 of 18 shots in the game, a very gratifying 50% shooting rate.

It's a pity that the Warriors eventually became the final winner.

However, the Warriors were not happy at all after winning the game.

If we lost to the Bulls a few days ago, there is still the reason "the Bulls are a playoff team after all."

So being forced into a desperate situation by the Knicks today, the Warriors have no excuses.

This is indeed a victory, allowing the Warriors to stabilize the victory difference between them and the Grizzlies.

But overall, it was not a glorious victory.

The Warriors' defense today was simply a disaster. Rose, Porzingis and Anthony came and went freely in the Warriors' defense today, all shooting above 45%.

When Steve Kerr was interviewed courtside as the winner, he couldn't even laugh.

"The Knicks almost destroyed us today. We must perform better when we face stronger opponents in the future."

Cole's tone was a little disappointed, as if the winner of this game was the Knicks.

After this game, Rose blossomed again and was naturally praised by fans and media.

Link was among them, posting a photo of Rose's layup amid Green's interference on social media, followed by a simple word: "Respect."

The entire Warriors team fell into the saliva of the fans.

"You're still threatening to surpass the Grizzlies? What a joke."

"One thing to say, if it weren't for Curry's last three-pointer, the Warriors would have lost two games in a row."

"Carmelo Anthony showed his superb scoring skills in front of Durant. Anthony may be a bastard who doesn't like to defend, but you can't deny his achievements on the offensive end."

"Link is right, things that will make the Warrior even more sad are yet to come."

The losers received praise, but the winners were criticized in various ways.

There is no way, who made the Warriors have such an arrogant attitude before entering March.

Why is Link so popular now? Because he can always turn his arrogance into victory.

The Warriors and Durant did not do this. They talked arrogantly, but they did not play well in the game.

Now, all the pressure has shifted to the Warriors. Whenever they lose again, they will face not only the gradually widening gap in wins, but also the dissatisfaction of the fans.

One day after the Warriors narrowly defeated the Knicks, also in New York, the Grizzlies defeated another New York team, the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets' record so far this season is only 10 wins and 51 losses, and they are well-deserved "New York's No. 1".

Although due to a series of brain-dead operations by former Nets general manager Billy King, the Nets' draft pick this year was in the hands of the Celtics, it was useless even if they messed up.

But it doesn't matter if the Nets don't want to be bad, the strength of the lineup only ends there.

Faced with a team that had been tricked by the general manager and could only live in peace for several years, and faced with his old friend Jeremy Lin, Link showed no mercy.

As always, he came out firing on all cylinders. This time, before the third quarter of the game was over, Link was replaced and benched.

The speed at which he solves the game is getting faster and faster.

122 to 109, the Grizzlies did a clean job at Barclays Center, which was in sharp contrast to the game between the Warriors and the Knicks a day ago.

Since losing to the Pacers after the All-Star break, the Grizzlies have unknowingly won five games in a row.

The pressure on the Warriors is increasing, and they seem to have messed with the wrong opponent. People are talking that if it weren't for Durant's provocation, Link might not have played so hard in March.

Now, the Warriors desperately need a big win to stabilize the situation.

However, they lost again...

The competition between the Grizzlies and Warriors in "March Madness" began to show a one-sided trend.
