In the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were very low, but the scene was not dull. Because on the defensive side, both sides play with great passion.
The intense collision, the powerful confrontation, the tumultuous scene, all these let the fans excited.
The only embarrassment is that you can''t see the goal after a long time of excitement.
The thunder team didn''t score the first goal until the fifth minute break. Link didn''t get a score until the sixth minute of the first quarter.
The shooting rate of both sides in the first quarter is very low, and the score is extremely low.
After the first 12 minute race, Mike brin could not help but take off his glasses and wipe them. He thought his eyes were dim.
19-16, grizzlies lead 3 points, this is the first quarter of the report card handed over by both sides!
"The score was unexpected. The defense of both teams was too tight, which made both sides unable to score effectively. This game, as if let me see the Memphis Grizzlies two or three years ago. Oklahoma thunder, it may be the first time in the defensive end so put in
Mike brin finished and looked at the game data on the tablet.
Grizzlies hit 7 out of 23 in the first quarter, only 30.4%. Thunder is even more exaggerated. In the first quarter, only five sports scores were scored, and the hit rate was only 21.7%.
Both teams intend to use defense to contain each other, which leads to no advantage. Now, the two teams want to open the score of the train of thought is very clear, who can take the lead in finding the scoring method under tight defense, who can get the lead!
The Grizzlies have been prepared for the scoring method.
"Andre, you don''t have to rush out in the second quarter. Tony, Durant''s up to you. Don''t let him relax, forcing him to be nervous all the time! Now, link, you''re free. I don''t want to see the thunder press so hard after half-time
At the break, Stevens''s arrangement is not complicated. All those complicated parts are arranged before the game starts.
You know, the Grizzlies have two more games to rest than thunder! This period of time, enough grizzly to thoroughly study thunder.
Link nodded and looked at the big screen.
The first quarter was really bad enough, only 4 points were recorded. It''s mainly entangled with Durant. It''s not easy to catch the ball.
But did not let Durant find the offensive feeling, link''s own low score is worth it.
Next, we must be able to make up for the score!
Just thinking about it, the electronic buzzer sound throughout the whole game, the second quarter of the game is about to start!
The fans were still very enthusiastic and didn''t lose their confidence because of the crazy iron making in the first quarter of the two teams.
Durant frowned and walked up. It''s not hard to see that Durant is also very dissatisfied with the result.
The second quarter by the thunder team rate advanced attack, Durant excitedly ran to the front court, ready to continue to fight link.
Then he found that Tony Allen was in front of him.
"Are you kidding? Are you going to run away from me like this?" Durant turned his head and yelled at link. He didn''t expect the Grizzlies to suddenly change their defense.
"Escape? You''d better not run away later Tony Allen became more rigorous, and Durant''s words really annoyed him.
It''s like you can''t stop him. In that case, let''s touch it!
As a result, Durant encountered a tighter defense than the first quarter. Even if he didn''t hold the ball, Durant was already thinking about how to shake the ball.
Tony Allen''s defense is more pure than link!
As for link, he followed cerfrosa to defend the outside players who had the least threat to the thunder team. In this way, link will not have to put too much effort and energy on the defensive side.
The war of attrition in the first quarter is over. Now link is going to score!
Durant has begun to feel a little tired, although the second quarter just started, but the Grizzlies tight defense, but as if can not see the end. Link is over for Tony Allen, Tony Allen is over, igordala and Butler are all over...
Durant has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. As a result, Durant ran back to the three-point line and received a pass.
At the same time, Perkins covered in place, Durant bypassed the screen, got a step behind the free throw line, and then stopped the jump shot!
Just when Durant thought the ball would go in, he felt the basketball had been stabbed away from his back!
"This sense of deja vu..." Durant tried to reach the shot of the basketball, only to see Tony Allen jump out of his back, jump, the first to grasp the basketball in his hand.
A cover from behind, bypassing the screen, Tony Allen made it again!
"Beautiful cover, Tony Allen''s defense is perfect! But can the Grizzlies score this timeAfter Tony Allen fell, he gave the ball to Conley the first time.
Conley held the ball after half-time, but was forced by Westbrook. Although Westbrook failed to steal the ball directly, the Grizzlies were forced to slow down their offensive pace.
Conley didn''t get entangled with Westbrook, but jumped up and gave the ball to link! Severosa saw that, only when he reached link, Durant had just finished entanglement with Tony Allen, and could not come back for a while.
"Swiss Army Knife" sevarosa''s defensive ability is also good, but in link''s view, compared to Durant can be too poor.
Link holds the ball with one hand and stands for Gasol to cover.
When the Spaniard''s pick and roll is ready, link accelerates to the right immediately!
Sevrosa doesn''t dare to hesitate. He''s going to bypass the pick and roll. However, as soon as he made a move, link turned forward and went to the side without pick and roll!
Fake cover!
"Shit, there''s no mistake. The dribble is so smooth." Perkins had to make up for link in front of him, but now, Perkins really can''t keep up with link.
Link took two big strides to open up a position with Perkins. See the opportunity, link jump layup!
However, thunder''s defense is not likely to be so fragile. Otherwise, the first quarter will not limit the Grizzlies to such a mess.
Sergi Ibaka arrived, ready to put link''s layup on the backboard. The power forward, who can get three blocks per game, is not for fun.
Link did not expect Ibaka to come back in such a timely manner, but he was not nervous because the attack space was not completely locked up.
See Ibaka toward himself, link will be raised arm and basketball put down. The whole person curls up and goes through the bottom of the basket.
But because link is inclined to rush in and take off, so the body has been flying to the back of the backboard. However, link is not in a hurry, he stretched his long arm, Leng is in the backboard behind the ball to the rebound.
The basketball rubbed the backboard and refracted into the net, while link fell down because he kept changing his center of gravity in the air. But before landing, link saw the basketball fly into the net.
That''s enough!
"Beautiful pull rod layup, link dodged Sergi Ibaka''s inevitable cover! In the case of people have floated to the back of the backboard, can also complete the layup, is really fierce! This is the superstar ball, this is the individual ability! "
Mike brin''s eyes are shining. After a crazy first quarter of ironmaking, the Grizzlies'' attack is finally full of enthusiasm!
Link landed on his back and fell to the ground. Because of his inertia, his legs sprang up after landing.
Link then followed the trend of waist and abdomen, took a back roll, straight up!
This perfect landing position, but also caused the Federal Express stadium to send out bursts of screams.
"Shit, am I so happy just getting rid of it?" Durant gritted his teeth and watched link begin to revive. He was still a pool of stagnant water. He was in a bad mood.
"Don''t tell me. I''m not your opponent now." Link waved and ran away from Durant. Then Durant saw Tony Allen''s focused eyes again.
Durant, too, is on the top, this time trying to run over Tony Allen with a back slap.
It is reasonable to say that Durant is over 2.10 meters tall, but Tony Allen is about the same height as a high point guard.
However, Tony Allen is very good at using confrontation to make up for his height disadvantage. Interfering with the shooting is not just to block the opponent''s shooting route. Tony Allen''s approach is to give Durant a hard fight when he''s shooting, which is not to let comfortable shots.
Under Tony Allen''s almost violent interference, Durant, whose height is dominant, feels his center of gravity is not stable when he takes off to shoot, so he turns over to shoot a jumper again!
After being consumed by link, Durant began to feel a little anxious. And it''s Tony Allen''s strength to deal with this kind of anxious opponent!
Link this time personally took the defensive rebound, and then went straight back to the long pass!
Mike Conley has already advanced to the right corner, and the Grizzlies are not going to give thunder any breathing and reaction opportunities.
Conley makes a tentative step to the left, and Westbrook moves sideways. He had a good intention and wanted to be defensive. But Westbrook''s defense, there is always a strong feeling.
This time it was the same, Conley just made a feeler step, and Westbrook reacted so much. So Conley accelerated in the opposite direction and threw Westbrook away.
With Conley''s rapid breakthrough, the entire thunder team''s defense has been shrinking.
Conley had at least three defenders around him when he took off!
But in the air, Conley was not flustered. Staring at the basket, he threw the ball to the left bottom corner!
Over there, link''s already in position!
"Nice break, Mike Conley found link in the open! Kevin Durant blocked it, but there is no doubt that he has missed the best opportunityAs Mike brin said, Durant has missed the best time to block his shot. When Conley broke through, Durant also focused on him. As a result, Durant blocked the shot half a shot late.
To be honest, it''s not too late. But for link, it''s enough!
After Durant blocked the landing, he would not retract his raised arm. He looked back at the basketball. At the bottom corner, the basket seemed to be a line.
After the basketball in the air falls, it coincides with this line.
With the nets rolling, Durant knew that he had failed in defense, and link had 5 points in a row!
You don''t have to watch Durant on the defensive end. Link is relaxed! But thunder side, can not have a second to be able to watch link''s player existence.
The difference was widened to 8 points again. This time, thunder estimated that it would not be so easy to pull the difference back.
Link opened his arms and soared in front of Durant.
Competition, has officially entered the rhythm of Memphis Grizzlies!
