Durant still remembers his 0.9 second win over the Grizzlies in the regular season.
Igordala is a small role, he not only failed to defend himself, offensive side, but also only 9 points contribution.
To be honest, Durant once thought igordala was the strength. After all, he''s almost 30 years old, and it''s normal for the numbers to shrink.
At 30, it seems like a watershed for professional players. Some people''s excellent state can continue for a few years, even reach the peak at 30. And some players to 30, the state will jump off the cliff.
Durant originally thought that igordala was also one of those people who fell off the cliff. After all, igordala''s data had begun to shrink before joining the Grizzlies.
Until today, until this damned second quarter of the Western Conference finals, Durant didn''t know how wrong he was.
At this point, 3.2 seconds before the end of the half-time game, the Grizzlies serve the baseline ball.
Normally speaking, this kind of ball that even runs through half court is not enough.
But thunder did not expect, grizzlies actually also made a baseline ball tactics!
Vasquez pretended to catch the ball to attract thunder''s attention, but Azeri passed the ball to link!
Link took a few steps, and just after half-time, he threw the ball with a riding archery.
However, all of us didn''t expect that the super long-distance three-point, which seems to be a random shot, actually hit the board into the frame!
"Three points on the whistle, and link put it in! A board into the box, as expected, luck is left to the powerful people. Take a look at the expressions of the thunder players, it must have been a blow to them. They were 13 points behind, but now they are 16 points behind
Mike brin shook his head. Link''s super long distance whistle three minutes in the last 3.2 seconds was amazing.
Durant, however, was dismissive of the three points. Because thunder is so much behind now, but not just because of that damned three-point ball!
Igordala and rink went crazy in the second quarter, breaking through, smashing, three points, two attacks... Igordala seemed to be rejuvenated and could do anything in the offensive end!
Durant opened his mouth all the way, and nearly lost his jaw. Link and igordala scored 24 points in the second quarter alone! Among them, link 14 points, igordala single section 10 points!
As a regular player with only 13 points, he can score 10 points in a single quarter, which is beyond imagination!
Is Iguodala old? No, Durant admits, this time he''s wrong!
In link and igordala''s dual firepower, thunder''s intermittent goal simply cannot stabilize the difference.
Sure enough, the eight points that the bar, a thunder string seems to be broken. Then there was a complete collapse.
"Andre, you''ve done so well! Ha ha, we''re 16 points ahead, 16 points! "
Link climbed up on igordala''s back excitedly, while igordala, with a smile on his back, walked into the player''s passage with link on his back.
"I said, I''ll help you." Igordala likes to be a supporting role and he likes to be part of the team. And in Grizzlies, he found his favorite spot.
The original deal was right, and igordala was better suited to stay with link than guy.
At the end of the half-time, Randolph, who was at the back of the game, was "caught" by reporters and gave a short midfield interview.
"Zach, what do you think of Andre igordala''s excellent performance in the second quarter? Why is he so much better than the regular season in the playoffs
Randolph grinned, showing his white teeth. "It''s none of his business in the regular season. Let''s talk about it in the playoffs. Andre is so steady when we need him to be tough
It seems that Randolph was also impressed by igordala''s performance.
Half time 16 points, even for thunder, this is not a small gap. What''s more, Grizzlies are not the kind of defensive team that is prone to collapse. It is very difficult to hit them with a wave of attack climax.
After the start of the third quarter, the thunder sixth man Kevin Martin put in two three points in a row. But even so, thunder is still two digits behind.
Link the third quarter depressed a lot, mainly for the fourth quarter to save physical strength. So igordala and Randolph stood up and continued to carry the grizzly bear''s offensive flag.
After the third quarter, the difference was reduced to 11 points by thunder. Of course, that''s not enough for thunder.
"Damn it, it''s just a little short of it!" Durant sat on the bench, gnashing his teeth. He didn''t expect that thunder would be suppressed by Grizzlies for two sections!
Before even facing San Antonio Spurs, thunder has never been so embarrassed.
But Durant is still not discouraged, link did not score in the third quarter, Durant but see in the eye. But thunder''s attack, in the third quarter has some improvement. If this situation continues, thunder will be saved.
Durant is still hopeful that the fourth quarter can be reversed to win!The war between him and link will not be so easy to surrender!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, link didn''t play. It can be seen that grizzly''s strategy is to let link take a rest first. When the time is right, link will play until the end of the game.
Durant seized the opportunity and scored a few goals over Jimmy Butler''s head.
Jim Butler''s defense is tough enough, but he doesn''t know Durant well, so the defense effect is worse than link and others.
The fourth quarter played three minutes, thunder also reduced the difference to 7 points. Link stood up and walked to the technical platform.
Before the game, fans at FedEx stadium began to cheer for link.
"Cut, cheer! It''s useless for him to do it! " Durant murmured in his heart that he thought his hand had been played out, and even link couldn''t stop him!
Just then, Westbrook was fouled for a rude tackle and the game entered the dead ball phase.
Link stands in front of the tech stand, claps hands with Jimmy Butler, and then hops into the wood floor.
At the same time, igordala and Gasol were replaced.
Grizzlies first five tigers, together again.
"It''s only seven points short. I''ll continue to narrow the score. You''re sure to lose!" As soon as link came on stage, Durant began to chatter in his ear.
Westbrook found it incredible that Durant had always been a quiet guy in the game. I''ll see you for the first time.
Now Durant is just excited and can''t shut up.
Link has no expression because the game is in control. Just now Grizzlies are half substitutes and half starters, so it''s normal to be chased back.
But if Durant thought it was a sign that he could reverse it, there would be a big misunderstanding.
"Don''t say I didn''t remind you, Kevin. Remember what I said to you before the game started? "
Link said something that didn''t look like rubbish, and then the game started!
Now, link is full of energy! But Durant... He''s on the wheel. He must be very tired now.
So, instead of being polite to Durant, link held the ball with his back on the right side of the court and raised his hand at Conley.
"Shit, that''s crazy!" Durant was angry. Did link look for himself as soon as he came up. Was he soft persimmon!?
"As soon as link comes up, he has to play KD with his back on his back. My God, this game is really full of climax! Conley''s got the ball in. What''s the result? "
Link received the basketball, obviously can feel the huge pressure from behind. Durant doesn''t want to be on guard.
Instead of being afraid, link jerked back with the ball!
"Bang!" The clunky sound of muscle collision makes the players around feel pain.
However, as link expected, Durant did not step back.
This "bamboo pole" that couldn''t be done with a bench press in the draft at the beginning is very strong now!
"Come on, idiot!" Durant was obviously a little complacent. He thought that link would retreat under his strong defense.
However, link turned around and broke through suddenly! Durant kept up in time, and the physical contact was still intense!
Just as link had just reached the edge of the three second zone, link made a sudden stop and then turned to jump shot!
This ball, link is really on the bar with Durant!
"A little bit of work!" Durant blocked it for the first time. He didn''t eat it!
In the case of height and arm exhibition, Durant completely blocked link. Thunder 35 heart secretly happy, this, in this kind of interference, almost impossible to score, see you are crazy or not!
Link''s back in the air, trying to avoid the cover. Then in Durant''s palm block up the moment, calm hand.
At that moment, link was very calm, so there was no interference with his shooting. And after the ball was thrown out, it was also featured by Duran to the palm of the hand.
"Doodle, doodle, doodle!" When the referee whistled, he was there. He could see clearly, indicating Durant to defend the foul!
Durant just prepared to discuss with the referee, but he saw that the basketball did not seem to be interfered with. After crossing a perfect curve, he fell into the net!
"This... 2 + 1, under Durant''s strict defense, link hit a 2 + 1! If the penalty hit, the difference will go to two digits again! Wonderful game, wonderful attack! Today, link completely suppressed the thunder
Mike Brin, under the shouting of the fans, could only roar heartrendingly.
Durant was stunned. He couldn''t believe that link could score!
He has done his best!
At this point, Durant suddenly remembered what link had just said to him, "don''t say I didn''t remind you, Kevin. Remember what I said to you before the game started? "What did you say?
You''re done. Now it''s my turn.
Link does what he says!
