O. J. Mayo has been basically abandoned by the Grizzlies this season. With the arrival of Xavier Henry, Tony Allen and link, Mayo has played 71 games this season, with only 17 starts.


    Playoffs to now, there is no starting opportunity. It can even be said that he has not produced any dazzling performance.


    So when people saw Mayo start again, the first reaction was surprise. Why can this guy in a low state suddenly push Tony Allen down? Is it Tony Allen hurt?


    However, the fact is that Hollins can see the improvement of Mayo''s form in recent games. In the last few games, although Mayo didn''t score and shoot much, his percentage of three-point shot was very impressive. Although he did not show any amazing performance, but as a substitute, Mayo''s performance is not bad.


    How important this year is for the Grizzlies is natural. Although Mayo has never had a heart to win, but how much will be infected by the environment. During the playoffs, he began to train ahead of time and began to work hard in confrontational training. Mayo doesn''t say he can play any magic effect now, but at least he can make room for Grizzlies'' attack.


    That''s why Hollins sent Mayo on the court to make it easier for others to attack.


    "The Grizzlies lost 18 layups in the last game, which is a terrible number. Today, the Grizzlies have to adjust on the offensive side. They''ve got the match point. They can''t give thunder a break Herbie Brown hasn''t forgotten how much the Grizzlies lost in the last game.


    Although the Grizzlies'' players are not in good condition on one hand, thunder''s defensive tactics of shrinking the basket also make Grizzlies eat a big hole. They''re forcing the Grizzlies to shoot three points, and they''re going to put troops in the inside. Because of this, the Grizzlies had difficulty in scoring the last layup. However, Conley and link, the only two three-point shooters in the Grizzlies'' starting line, have a poor hand feeling.


    In this way, was killed by thunder 27 points.


    But today, Hollins replaced Mayo. He believes that Mayo''s 40% three-point shooting rate will give Grizzlies more options in attack. Even if the thunder sticks to the basket again, the Grizzlies won''t be dumb all the way.


    Before the game, link found Westbrook and Durant nervous. Also, at this time, Gemini is still quite green, far less powerful than in the future.


    Er... To be exact, Durant is not so powerful. As for Westbrook, what is the playoff dominance?


    These two people will be nervous, it is understandable, after all, today''s game for thunder, psychological pressure is really too big.


    First, thunder hasn''t won at the FedEx stadium until now. Second, the game is "win or go home" for thunder. The Grizzlies have a way out if they lose, but if thunder loses, their ambitious season will be over.


    Link believes that in the minds of thunder players, their goal is not as simple as the first round. After two wins over the Lakers in the first round of last season, the thunder is definitely looking forward to going further.


    Link rubbed his hands. Today, without teacher Tony''s help, he had to face Durant alone. In any case, he wants to keep the League scoring king in check. As long as Durant can''t play, thunder is basically half lost!


    But seeing Durant so nervous today, link felt that there was an opportunity. A player on the court can have a lot of emotions, can be angry, can be crazy, can publicize, but only can not be nervous!


    Tension is like a shackle, which can bind a player''s hands and feet.


    "Both sides jump ball, grizzlies still get the first attack right. Let''s see what the first attack of the Grizzlies will look like after the change of formation! "


    The thunder team''s defense strategy is similar to the previous game, mainly shrinks under the basket, blocks the black and white double bears, blocks the outside line player to cut. Three points? Give it to you! In Brooks'' view, the Grizzlies'' three points are a little bit more stable on link, but only a three-point break, can''t completely kill the game.


    Link this time directly outside the three-point line, since thunder to three points, then take advantage of the opportunity!


    Durant let link go, and in the last game he used this method to limit link to only nine points. So today, Durant continues to follow suit.


    "Are you sure you want to let me go this far?" Link began to talk with Durant. He hoped that Durant would be under great pressure from words to actions.


    Durant didn''t reply, still defending himself. Meanwhile, Conley broke through under cover, but failed to attract the bag. So Conley gave the ball to link! Link then handed the ball to Mayo at the top of the three-point line and ran over to fight him.


    "Mayo received basketball in the first round. It seems that his tactical position should not be low. Link and Mayo hand in hand, he''s still looking for a breakthrough


    Taking the basketball, link shot out of Mayo''s back. "Swiss Army Knife" severosa immediately changed defense to link, Durant also followed link behind. I can''t help it. The threat of scoring in this draft is too big. And in the last few games, the thunder team is also used to this defensive way.After all, Tony Allen doesn''t have three-point ability, so the thunder outside line can always be assured and bold to seal link. Tony didn''t start today, but Allen didn''t play!


    Link saw that he attracted two people to defend, and then the ball to the oblique rear hit the ground! Mayo receives the basketball at the top of the arc, and no one is watching!


    "Link gave the ball to Mayo, and the Grizzlies gave it to Mayo on their first attack!"


    Mayo has no ambition, no tough heart, no spirit to attack. But he knows he has only one year left on his rookie contract. If you don''t show some performance, it will be very troublesome to sign the contract. After all, as a high school star, Mayo doesn''t want to sign too low a price.


    Mayo calmly shot, severosa and Durant did not jump forward to interfere, let Mayo shoot.


    This time, Mayo didn''t disappoint grizzly fans and teammates. His 40% three-point shooting rate, played a due role!


    "Brush!" Basketball hollow into the net, the Grizzlies a three point team!


    Indeed, a three-way break can''t kill the game. But today, the Grizzlies have two three-point points!


    Link assists, Mayo takes the lead, grizzlies lead!


    See basketball into the net, link pointed to Mayo, "well done!"


    "Cut it, hit it at will." Mayo snorted in his heart, but looked around the fierce cheers... Can help the team in the playoffs lead, seems quite cool.


    So today, let''s play a little more seriously... If we can get a big contract next summer, it would be great.


    "The thunder team''s main defense forbidden area strategy is obviously targeted, but link is very good at attracting defensive assists. As long as Mayo is open, link will be able to deliver the ball Hobby Brown saw Hollins'' strategy in just one round, but the question now is whether Mayo and link can guarantee the stability of their three-point percentage.


    "Don''t be nervous, man. It''s just like the usual attack. Really, don''t think you''ll lose if you don''t, because if you don''t, you''ll all lose today! " On the defensive side, link has been putting pressure on Durant, constantly reminding him that "if you don''t make a shot, you''re going to lose.".


    Durant was upset, but as the team''s first scorer, he had to stand up.


    Finally, Durant''s jump shot outside the three-point line was interrupted by link. In addition, Durant himself is a bit impatient, so three points are not accurate, thunder lost the chance to level the score!


    Link in the heart secretly happy, it seems that today''s strategy is working! And today, Hollins arranged for Durant to take turns in the rotation of link, Tony Allen and Battier. Link looked at Durant''s expression and became sympathetic. No way, who let you be the League scoring king?


    Durant missed the first shot, and the Grizzlies were not worried. Fall into the position and fight slowly, as Hollins specifically ordered today.


    Because if the tempo is fast, it''s better for thunder. Think about how terrible a rushing Westbrook is, and Hollins is afraid to fight fast.


    Durant is a little discouraged now. He didn''t expect to struggle so hard in the playoffs this year! At both ends of the offensive and defensive, Durant felt that he could not give full play to his strength.


    Durant, of course, is not completely locked up. He is even better than last season''s playoffs. But the feeling of being limited everywhere still made Durant feel uncomfortable.


    Durant was upset, so link took advantage of the victory.


    No. 0 of Chinese Americans received the basketball again. He first looked at sevrosa''s position. With Mayo''s three points, the goods should not dare to include themselves!


    Link took a tentative step and Durant stepped back half a step to prevent link from breaking through.


    See this situation, link suddenly take back step, take off to shoot directly!


    It is a high-level attack skill to sway people with only trial steps. Many TV fans think that some superstars like to shoot three points against people, but the reality is that they have already used a feeler step to disrupt the rhythm of each other before shooting, and they can finish the shot by seizing a gap.


    It''s the same with link now. Durant is half a step away from him with his trial step. However, this half step is enough for him to finish his shot!


    Brooks stands up. He intentionally throws a three-point shot for the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies are really playing tricks.


    Brooks began to panic when he saw link help the Grizzlies hit the second three points in a row and turn the score to 6-0.


    The manager was flustered, not to mention those young thunder players. Durant put his hands on his head and let link finish the assists and defense. After that, he immediately let link hit three points, which made Durant very sad.


    "Don''t worry. Think about the good side, at least after this game, you won''t have to face us again


    After the goal link continues to put pressure on Durant, but Ling''s young scoring king at the beginning of the game, is about to be made mental breakdown.
