Sean Battier stands on the sideline, surrounded by Grizzlies. Of course, the Grizzlies'' staffing has changed dramatically compared to a decade ago.
Gasol''s still here, just his brother Mark. Randolph went forward bravely and achieved each other with Grizzlies.
But according to Battier, link is the key to Grizzlies.
Everyone stood up, hooked up on each other''s shoulders and focused on the court.
On the court, Mike Conley''s push made everyone in the thunder team feel desperate. On the other hand, the Grizzlies gritted their teeth one by one and looked forward to the stadium. The Grizzlies are about to win their first playoff game in the history of the team!
"Mike Conley stopped outside the three-point line, and now it''s only two minutes before the end of the game, and the Grizzlies are 12 points ahead of the thunder. He doesn''t have to be in a hurry. Conley wants to run out of the last 24 seconds Kevin Haran looks around. The Chesapeake energy arena is dead.
Since the second quarter of the game, Randolph and link a beautiful match, the difference between points to 11 points, thunder has been in a passive until now. Thunder fans, have been depressed to the present.
Westbrook and James Harden had a poor performance. The former scored a lot but had a low percentage. The latter in link''s defense, only 2 of 6 shots, only 5 points recorded, obviously did not do a sixth man''s responsibility.
Among them, Westbrook is the main reason why thunder is now in danger. He again and again irrational shot and gambling style defense, let thunder incomparably passive.
Had it not been for Durant, the scoring might have been bigger.
Westbrook was a little worried. He was not willing to lose the game like this because he had a chance to be the main character today.
In the first quarter, he scored 10 points in 5 of 7. At that time, Westbrook absolutely thought it would be a night for him.
But in the second verse, he is one in five, and one in three. In the fourth quarter, the efficiency is still not high.
Westbrook hopes that he can quickly get back to the first quarter of the game''s state, can reverse the situation. So, this guy is not calm to suddenly sprint, risk to steal!
"No Thunder coach Scott Brooks called out from the field, but it was too late. Westbrook rushed like Conley, reaching for the ball.
In the NBA, the most taboo is actually gambling style snatch. If it can be snatched down, it will naturally be a huge reward, and it can directly form a fast attack.
If the defending side can''t give space directly, it''s equal to if the defending side can''t give space.
Conley''s reaction is very sensitive. At the moment of Westbrook''s sprint, he pulls the ball to the right with a big arc to avoid Westbrook''s snatch, and then directly breaks through!
"Westbrook''s gamble steals failed again. He''s not calm. Russell shouldn''t be so impetuous in the face of a mature guard like Mike Conley! This is the biggest disadvantage of thunder team, they are too young, they lack experience
After Conley''s breakthrough, harden came to make up for it. Conley''s eyes were straight ahead, but he swung the ball to the right with his wrist!
"It''s link. He''s been emptied by Haden! If the goal is scored, the thunder team will be in great trouble! "
As soon as Kevin Harlan''s voice fell, basketball went into the net. His mid shot is so stable that thunderbolt fans are scared. Link seems to them like an error free mid shot machine!
Off the court Battier smiles, he finds himself more and more like this boy.
"The ball went in, and link widened the difference to 14 points with only one more minute left in the game! The game is losing suspense. The thunder team has one foot hanging out of the cliff Jeff Van Gundy said, looking down at link''s data sheet today.
20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, link scored 20 + points in the first game of the playoffs, which is the highest among all rookies in the 2009 session!
Speaking of it, how many of the 2009 rookies participated in the playoffs? Griffin, wall, Corzine and other high-profile future stars have begun to take a vacation.
And those who are lucky to have participated in the playoffs, the performance is not comparable to link. In the 76ers'' playoff against the heat, Evan Turner played just five minutes in garbage time, scoring just two points.
And link''s good friend Paul George got the first chance in the Pacers vs. bulls series, but in 23 minutes, George had only two shots and only two points in the record. It''s not too much to say that he has become a little transparent.
Jeff Van Gundy thinks it''s hard to believe that the guy who entered the NBA as a drop off draft in the middle of the season has become the rookie who adapts to the playoffs this year. His position in the Grizzlies is not just a rookie. It can be said that link plays an important role in the Grizzlies'' system.
Without him, the Grizzlies'' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Van Gundy shook his head, and link might become the biggest draft pearl in NBA history.The moment link scored, the Grizzlies on the side of the court all jumped up. Battier is gripping his teeth. It has been 10 years since he joined Grizzlies. For 10 years, his biggest regret is that he never helped the Grizzlies win a game in the playoffs.
But now, it''s almost done! Battier is very glad that he can return in the Grizzlies'' most glorious period!
Link didn''t slack off after scoring. He knew that he had to stick to the end of the playoffs to know who was the winner. Today, link didn''t do much in the third quarter, but once he did, it was almost fatal. Because his obsession with winning won''t allow him to make any mistakes.
"Thunder team must play this attack, otherwise the situation will be too difficult for them! The difference has been widened to 14 points. If the thunder doesn''t want to lose the home court, it must not make any mistakes from now on
"I don''t know, Jeff. But don''t forget, thunder is a very young team, from the team to the coach to the players, very young. It''s almost inevitable for a young team to make mistakes
As soon as Kevin Haran finished, the thunder team made a mistake. The iron Han Han Han of Westbrook played a simple pick and roll with Ibaka outside the three-point line, and then he made a direct three-point shot!
Again! Westbrook made the decision to pit his teammates.
It can be seen that Westbrook is trying to use the goal to make up for the defensive side of the error. But this iron headed guy often makes bigger mistakes.
Durant was stunned. At the critical moment, he couldn''t catch the ball? Who is the league''s top scorer this season? If Durant remembers correctly, it should be himself, not Westbrook.
Westbrook''s three-point shooting rate this season has been greatly improved from 22.1% to 33.0%. But if you think Westbrook''s three-point is really on the mark, it''s a big mistake. The guy''s three points are so volatile that his shots are never reliable.
Sure enough, Westbrook''s snatch shot ended in iron. Randolph grabbed today''s 13th rebound and handed the ball to Conley. Scott Brooks gasped, knowing that the game was almost impossible to move back.
"Westbrook used two consecutive mistakes to ruin the thunder. But that''s the price of youth. " Mike brin said and looked at the Grizzlies'' bench.
The celebration will be quite lively. Even though, no one here will support them.
However, link is also a young man, but he hardly made mistakes today. Westbrook, a young excuse can''t be used for a lifetime.
At the last minute of the game, link was a little absent-minded. He just wants the game to come to an end. He can''t wait to embrace the victory.
If this game wins, the Grizzlies, link, Conley, Pau Gasol and many others will have their first playoff win! Of course, this will also be the beginning of their following crimes!
The last minute was almost the longest that link felt. Thunder team began to use foul tactics, so the game was repeatedly interrupted, time was forced to stop watch.
Link could see the desperation of thunder fans in the stands, but he enjoyed it very much. The big villain, is to bring despair!
In the end, Scott Brooks used up his last pause after Ibaka fouled Randolph, who had two free throws to keep the gap at 14 points. But it is clear to everyone that the purpose of this pause is not to lay out the strategy, but to announce the arrival of garbage time!
Oklahoma thunder raised the white flag in the last 12 seconds!
The thunder kicked off, but Westbrook stopped attacking. He held the ball half-way and then stopped. The rest of the thunder team didn''t move, and they''ve fully accepted the fact that they lost.
Five seconds before the end of the game, Westbrook put the ball on the ground, and the thunder players began to walk toward the players'' channel before the end of the game. And the Grizzlies players raised their arms one by one, in this no cheering field, to celebrate their victory!
"Beep ~ ~ ~ ~" the electronic beep finally sounded, and Sean Battier was the first to rush into the court from the bench!
The whole game, Battier 5 shot 4 to get 10 points, such data can not talk about the game. But his two key goals in the thunder counter attack, but let the Grizzlies young people to stabilize the mentality.
Ten years of waiting, finally waiting for this moment. After Battier rushed to the court, the first hug was link. Link is not the most amazing data today. Randolph''s 34 points and 13 rebounds and Durant''s 33 points and 11 rebounds are the most terrible two big data today.
However, Battier believes that the appearance of link is likely to change the fate of grizzly bear completely. From now on, winning in the playoffs will become a normal for the Grizzlies.
"It''s a great victory. The Grizzlies let thunder lose a home and attack fourth as fifth. And most importantly, these players brought the Grizzlies their first playoff win in the team''s history! Their names will always be remembered in the history of Memphis Grizzlies, and they may open up a new era belonging to the Grizzlies"Ferocious" villains defeated the "Prince" of the great Bank of light, and indulged in his territory.
This "evil bear", which makes all kinds of heroes fail, will continue to wreak havoc in the playoffs!
Link clenched his fist and waved his arms at the thunder stands. He believes that the first victory in the playoffs is just the beginning.
