Oklahoma is in a tough fight. They never expected that their trip to Memphis would be so rough today.
The game has entered the fourth quarter, the sixth minute, thunder is still 9 points behind, Durant and Westbrook two excellent attack, let the thunder has not been thrown away by the Grizzlies. But similarly, the Grizzlies didn''t give the thunder any chance to counter the score.
The Grizzlies have been leading ever since link scored the whistle in the first quarter. James Harden almost disappeared after he met link. He couldn''t defend on the court and couldn''t create scoring opportunities for Westbrook and Durant.
Therefore, the thunder team can only rely on the Gemini individual attack support.
At this point, the Grizzlies suspended the game after Westbrook scored with a stiff stop jump shot.
Lionel Hollins was calm and had a 7-point advantage even when Westbrook scored. As a defensive team, Hollins believes his team will be able to stay to the end. We''ve been defending the whole game. Can''t we keep the last few minutes?
The thunder team''s attack is basically supported by Durant and Westbrook, but these two guys are exhausted. Their efficiency began to slide and they looked sweaty.
At this time, if the thunder team still want to bite the score, they must send a third defense outside Durant and Westbrook. And there''s no doubt it''s going to be harden.
So Hollins looks at link and hooks his finger at him. Link got up very well. Today, he has been fighting harden all the time, and has always been in the dominant position. James Harden has scored only eight points, but has made 12 moves. Thunder team, harden''s shot number is second only to Westbrook and Durant.
And link experienced three quarters of the struggle, has now won 17 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. The most important thing is, link has only missed one goal so far, he is very efficient. It''s not enough to say that link broke up harden.
And, as Chris Webber predicted, link is just one assist away from double doubles today. As a grizzly player''s first game, link is likely to create a career milestone.
Although Hadden has not played well until now, the thunder team also has no other choice. Although Ibaka and Jeff Green can also get points, but as the main attack point, or a little bit of meaning.
"Link, after this play, I need you to play until the end of the game. James Harden is going to be there, and he''s up to you Hollins didn''t talk to link because he knew that link understood what he meant. Although link is half way into the team, but Hollins has never worried about link and the team running in.
He played very well in his system from the beginning. He memorized every tactic and was able to set his position accurately on the court.
Link nodded and licked his lips. At the end of the game, he won''t let anything happen. Now I still need two assists to get two doubles. It''s fake to say that link doesn''t want to take two doubles.
After all, he has been closely watched by the media since he signed a 2 million contract with the Grizzlies. If you can make two pairs of data, then whether those people are used to seeing themselves or not, they have to shut up!
So, link is very happy that he can play in the last minute. Of course, he doesn''t want to brush double data. It''s about getting the last two assists or four rebounds in a normal game.
The suspension is over. O.J. Mayo is down in the dumps. At first, it was thought that link would only pose a threat to position three. But now Mayo finds himself being replaced by link.
A player who is more efficient in attack and better in defense, why should the coach not use it?
As soon as James Halden came out for training. It was an awkward look at each other.
Link smiles and waves at harden, who immediately avoids his eyes. Link believes that the bearded man may never go to a nightclub before he plays against him.
Speaking of it, it seems that I went to the nightclub for a long time yesterday...
"the game starts again, Oklahoma thunder is still 7 points behind. James Harden is back in action, hoping he can play his part as a sixth man. In the first three quarters of today, harden lost himself completely. But we found out that link was on. It''s not going to be too easy for harden today
Weber laughs jokingly. For some reason, it has become one of his bad tastes to see link abuse harden. The drop off draft beat a series of high ranking rookies for nearly two years.
By the time harden faced link again, he had lost his arrogance of yesterday. His eyes were blank, as if link was last year''s flower show.
"Cheer up, the game is not over yet? Didn''t you say no one can stop the thunder? Am I not a man
Link did not let go of harden, he continued to torture his nerves with his own words.Harden ignored, seemingly calm, but in fact flustered. He kept staring at link, thinking that the ball should never fall into the hands of No. 0.
Unfortunately, however, Mike Conley, acting as though he were deliberately against harden, gave the ball to link after half-time.
"Damn it!" Harden opened his arms and stepped back two full steps, fearing that he would not catch up with link.
Link called for cover, and Randolph took it without hesitation. This may be the only drop draft in the league this year that is qualified to call teammates to cover for themselves.
Ibaka is still very afraid of link. At the end of the first quarter, link made a layup against his pressure whistle. He was still impressed. What to say, you have to use a successful defense to recover face.
Hadden was delayed by Randolph without any suspense. Ibaka immediately withdrew from defense and returned to the basket.
Link a look at the situation, the thunder team really give the opportunity. Respect is better than obedience. Link''s eyes are fixed on the basket, but he passes the ball behind him.
The eldest brother gorandov was waiting for link to pass the ball behind him. At the beginning, he didn''t look back and wondered if the guy would see himself.
Who knows, basketball was actually sent over. Ibaka takes care of one thing and loses the other. If he goes and stares at link, no one will stare at the big black bear.
Randolph shoots the basketball immediately after receiving the basketball, and the mid-range jump shot is not a problem for him. Facing Randolph, who was two or three times bigger than himself, Hadden didn''t even bother to interfere with the shooting.
Randolph scored easily and the difference was widened to 9 points again. After defeating the defending champion, they will probably beat another top four team in the West today!
"The ninth time, this is link''s ninth assists in this game. Without looking back, he accurately identified Zac Randolph''s position. Link knows everything about the Grizzlies system, and this kind of player will be popular wherever he goes. That''s why he was able to get a two million contract. It''s not unreasonable that his salary is higher than some first round shows! "
With that, Weber was stunned. Link is a popular player wherever he goes. So was the Houston Rockets brain damaged?
Link adjusted his breath and had only one assist from his first double double in his career. A month ago, he was still wondering if he had a chance to get a foothold in the NBA. But now, he is about to get two double figures in the NBA.
No matter how exaggerated it may be, link will not let the opportunity slip away from his fingers.
The Grizzlies'' defense is as hard as ever, and the more close they are at the end of the game. It can be said that thunder has been ranked in the West. As long as there is no accident, they can definitely enter the top five in the West.
As for the Grizzlies, they don''t even know whether the summer vacation is ahead of time or in the playoffs, so they have a stronger desire to win.
Just after half-time, Westbrook was ready to attack, but Conley calmly reached out and let the impatient Westbrook lose control of the basketball.
Fortunately, sevarosa actively picked up the basketball, did not let the thunder team miss the attack opportunity. Just now Westbrook''s attack had failed, so Swiss defender sevrosa passed the ball to Durant, who trusted the introverted No. 35 at the crucial moment.
Durant tried several breakthroughs, but was blocked by guy. It has to be said that guy is the best player for the Grizzlies today. If it hadn''t been for him and Durant, the grizzly would have been destroyed.
Durant''s attack failed, so he had to pass the ball to harden. Harden got nervous as soon as he got the ball, because he had been suppressed by link all the time today, and he had lost the confidence to beat link.
"Come on, you''re two points short. You''re in double today." Link continued to gush rubbish at harden to prevent the man''s already tormented nerves from getting a chance to relax.
Everyone''s eyes are on harden, and they all want him to win this round against the drop draft.
As a result, harden did not attack, but returned the ball to Durant, he counselled!
"Damn it! Toss the pot! " Durant received the ball with only five seconds left from the end of 24 seconds'' attack time. He had no way to get rid of guy, so he had to make a quick shot.
Guy is dead, but fortunately, Durant''s shot is still amazing. Although the goal was scored, but every thunder player''s heart beat faster. After all, it''s impossible for them to stabilize the situation with such magical goals in every round?
"James Harden still didn''t score, he didn''t even try to attack. Now that Durant and Westbrook are under more and more pressure, he should stand up
Harden knows he should stand up, but his strength is not allowed today.
After two rounds, the difference between the two teams was still between 7 and 9. Link didn''t get any score data, but he also didn''t give harden a chance to score.
Scott Brooks became more and more nervous as he watched the game time decrease. Before coming to Memphis, he thought about many possible situations, but he didn''t think that thunder would lose.In the last 1:03, the thunder team, still 7 points behind, ushered in the most critical defensive round. This time, if their defense doesn''t succeed, the game is basically gone.
Indeed, some people will say that McGrady also performed a miracle of 13 minutes in 35 seconds. What can''t catch up with a mere 9 minutes?
But if 35 seconds and 13 minutes are so easy to take, it can''t be called a miracle.
Conley continued to play tactically, handing the ball out to guy outside the three-point line. Guy, who has scored 25 points, is the second highest scoring player for the Grizzlies. The highest is Randolph, who scored 31 points today. For 31 minutes, a lot of them were cakes from link.
Guy made a few three threat moves with the ball, but found Durant unmoved. Guy, who wanted to attack impulsively, calmed down at the thought of the importance of the attack.
He saw that link was cutting into the inside line, so he hit the ground and sent the opportunity to link!
Although link scored less than 20 points today, he has left a deep impression on the thunder players. As soon as he received the ball, the thunder team''s defense shrank immediately. Link took the ball and got to the basket. But at the last moment, he used a back pass to return the ball to guy!
Guy was ready to go to the theater, but he didn''t expect that the opportunity would come back to him. Link is like a magician with yellow skin, who can always deliver the ball at the most unexpected time.
"In, in!" Link prayed to himself in his heart that if this goal was scored, his career''s first two doubles could be reached!
Guy stepped on the three-point line when shooting, which is the lowest cost-effective shooting position. Step in, he can get closer to the basket. Step back and he''ll get one more point.
But now guy doesn''t have to worry about it. He''s very fluent!
After seeing guy''s shooting action, link turned ahead of time and bit his teeth secretly. Guy''s shot is very smooth, and there is no defense, so there should be no problem. Now, the damned media should shut up!
Meanwhile, Jeff Austin, who was watching the game, laughed. In this case, link will be worth more than two million this summer. That''s why he only signed with Grizzlies for one year.
"Brush."
Link, who turned early, heard the net rolling and the fans cheering. Then, he saw guy raise his arms to celebrate the goal.
So, both sides are stable!
