April 23, 2011, the series finally came to Memphis, the home of Grizzlies!
Although the Grizzlies won their first playoff game in team history, the drawback is that the game was not played at home.
Grizzlies fans have never witnessed a playoff win at home, and today, they are eager for that to happen.
But by the end of the third quarter, even hobby Brown was desperate. As many media and experts said, the thunder team''s offensive is too fierce! Even the Grizzlies defense, but also some can not resist.
On the court, Westbrook broke through the ball, assisted Durant''s mid shot. After this goal, the thunder team officially played a wave of 9-0 attack climax! And on the field difference, also as many as 16 points!
Westbrook and Durant lightly clapped hands. Today, Westbrook is very rational in playing. He repeatedly coolly passes the ball, which gives his teammates a good chance. Compared with normal times, today''s Westbrook can score at the same time, or assists teammates to score, which makes the thunder''s offensive firepower more difficult to resist.
"16 points difference, the Grizzlies only have the last attack in the third quarter. Even if the Grizzlies can score a three-point goal, they are still 13 points behind. It has to be said that there is a big gap between the two teams Next to hobby brown, Kevin Haran thinks the game is basically over.
16 points difference is not small, what''s more, the thunder in the first three quarters has almost been pressing the Grizzlies. The last time the Grizzlies were ahead of thunder or the second quarter, the Grizzlies didn''t get even a point lead in the second half.
Herbie Brown didn''t respond to Kevin Haran because he was speechless. Thunder is now in a huge advantage and Grizzlies are dangerous.
On the court, Grizzlies are still in control of the ball, Conley to play the last 20 seconds. Link is actively looking for opportunities, but Durant has given him too much pressure.
As soon as Durant''s long arm was straightened, link had difficulty connecting the ball.
But link didn''t give up. After relaxing with Randolph the day before yesterday, link felt energetic today. And no matter how tight the defense is, you won''t get upset.
Link patiently looking for opportunities, and finally, with a reverse run away from a trace of space!
Conley saw link taking the opportunity and quickly sent the ball!
At this point, there are more than 2 seconds left before the end of the third quarter. Link must catch the ball and throw it!
Durant''s interference did not change link''s shooting posture. He was extremely calm, even when he was 16 points behind.
After the release, link''s high arm has not been put down. When the red light on the backboard lights up, the basketball also follows the sound into the net.
One shot, three! Link in Durant''s tight defense, got the game''s 16th point!
However, the cheers in the FedEx stadium were scattered. Because even if the three-point hit, the Grizzlies are still 13 points behind.
"At the end of the third quarter, link''s three-point guard helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation. But the Grizzlies are still in a very dangerous situation. It is not easy for the Grizzlies to catch up with 13 points in 12 minutes. Thunder team''s attack firepower, guaranteed their score to be almost not interrupted
"Yes, if the Grizzlies lose a game at home. Not to mention today, but the whole series, are in jeopardy. " Hubie brin looked at the sidelines seriously. He didn''t want the Grizzlies'' playoff trip to be so high and low.
Link stepped off the court and gave his teammates a soft high five. Hollins immediately took out the tactical board and obviously didn''t want to waste a minute.
Unlike the previous game, when the Grizzlies lost, the bad performance of the black and white bears accounted for a large part of the reason. But today, the Grizzlies'' performance is not bad, just thunder''s performance is too good.
No, just now Westbrook made another 13. On top of that, Ibaka scored 9 points in the second quarter, Durant scored 9 points in the first quarter...
the Grizzlies'' defense and attack were good, but the thunder team put in too many unreasonable balls.
Hollins believes the thunder team''s luck will not last forever. Maybe most people think Grizzlies will lose, but Hollins doesn''t think so!
"In the fourth quarter, we continue to maintain this defensive intensity, the thunder team can not complete every time high difficulty score! Hold on, if you fall down yourself, then the game is really over! Those damned bastards must have thought we''d give up and surprise them! Don''t give up, don''t give up! "
Hollins in the tactical adjustment is not much, mainly to stabilize the mood of the players.
After that, they look at Randolph.
"Are you tired?" Asked Randolph.
"Not a bit tired." Link replied with a smile.
"Me, too, but not necessarily those guys." Randolph said, pointing to the thunder team bench."In the first three quarters, under our high-intensity defense, they also played such a terrible attack, the consumption is certainly not small. As Hollins said, the fourth quarter keeps pressing on them and we''re sure to turn the tables. Believe me, it won''t be us who break down first! "
Randolph finished, and the brief interval was over. The cheers are still not high, maybe many fans give up their resistance.
They may be thinking: Grizzlies can win a game is great, they can win the Western Conference fifth is great, there is no need to be so demanding of their own team.
But fans don''t know, grizzlies players, always with the most demanding requirements to spur themselves! Never be satisfied until you die!
Link stepped back into the court and hit Randolph. Hollins is right. First of all, they can''t fall. Well, let yourself and Randolph lead by example!
"The game looks like it again. It looks like link and Zach are still full of fighting spirit. But to be honest, sometimes it''s not enough just to be fighting. Thunder team rate advanced attack, let''s see this attack, thunder can continue to open the score
Westbrook came with confidence and control, but he was calm today. Even if he had just scored 13 points in a single quarter, Westbrook didn''t have the brain to explode and just took the ball. He knows, thunder loses the first game, he has to take a lot of responsibility. So in the next few games, he didn''t intend to make any more mistakes.
Westbrook gave the ball to Durant on the right, but as soon as Durant received the ball, he was bumped by link roughly and staggered two steps.
Durant looked up. Link was staring at himself firmly, as if he had not been affected by the huge gap of 13 points.
"Cut, pretend to be calm!" Durant''s left and right hands start to dribble. He''s going to play! Today, it''s not the first time that he has experienced link''s tough defense. Anyway, he has scored several times before, and this time is the same!
Durant immediately starts, but is brutally forced to stop by link! The collision between the two is very fierce, link does not give in, Durant is bounced back to his original place!
"Come again, asshole!" Link opened his arms and yelled at Durant.
Durant is still so arrogant 13 points behind! He has to fight so hard that this guy can''t even speak!
Durant called for cover. Ibaka picked up the pick and roll. But link didn''t give in. He pushed hard from Ibaka and blocked Durant''s way. The scoring King''s attack failed again!
"Beautiful defense, link is still very active! It seems that he is not going to give up the home court like this! Kevin stopped the jump shot, but he didn''t get rid of link
Link tried to seal it up. Durant has scored a lot of shots in today''s interference. But link and Hollins thought the same, thunder can''t arrive in the fourth quarter can also withstand the defense high difficulty goal!
Durant was forced to breathe faster by link, and the instant rhythm of shooting was not well grasped. His shot was earlier than usual and was blocked by link.
"Bang!" The basket made a crisp sound, Durant missed this time!
"Missed the shot, Randolph grabs the rebound and looks at the Grizzlies'' counterattack." Hubie brin clenched his fist. This is an opportunity!
Link ran forward in Durant''s shot, believing in the ability of the black and white bears to protect their backboard. As soon as Randolph grabs the backboard, he has a tacit understanding of the backcourt long pass, and the basketball goes straight to link!
Link caught the basketball in two steps within the three-point line, but Durant had already arrived at link''s side. Continue to break through? Link couldn''t get rid of Durant. Stop the attack? This is another rare opportunity to fight back. It''s a pity to be dragged into the position.
So link suddenly stepped back and shot directly!
"Back step jump shot, Kevin Durant slow reaction, but with his height and arm length, still interfered with link!"
Hollins clenched his lip. He was afraid that link would miss the shot. This kind of attack is more than two points, which will directly determine the Grizzlies'' fourth energy saving ability.
Link''s breathing is extremely stable in the air, and his physical condition is perfect. Originally, link''s physical fitness can withstand the consumption, not to mention the day before yesterday, he also got a great physical and mental relaxation. Therefore, the shooting stability is very considerable, even in the case of interference!
The three-point guard against Durant''s shot was actually a warning to thunder.
Lin Ke''s gentle hand made the fans happy. Durant quickly turned back after landing, but he saw the basketball hollow into the net in despair! Grizzlies hit back!
"Boom This time, the FedEx stadium is no longer lifeless. Everyone stands up from their seats and cheers for link''s goal!
That guy with his tough style, ignited the hope of the whole audience!
The fans will think: even he did not give up, what qualification do we have to give up?
"The beautiful step back jump shot, including the three points of the whistle, link was equal to 5 points in a row, reducing the difference to 11 points in one fell swoop! He responded strongly to the thunder, he represented the grizzly bear''s attitude Hubie brin finally lifted his eyebrows and was glad that the Grizzlies were still fighting.No team can easily defeat Grizzlies, even if win, thunder will win all over the body!
Link made his hands pistol like, put them to his mouth to blow off the smoke, and then inserted the pistol into his waist!
It''s not over. Link doesn''t even feel tired. The horn of counterattack has been sounded, and the next thing thunder will face is to fight back madly!
