Three minutes, the Grizzlies lead by four. For link and his team, this weak advantage is not enough to make them complacent.
Three minutes is enough to change a lot of things. At least 4 points of this gap, want to change is easy.
Durant was in great form today, except for the first quarter because he was too impatient and poor performance, the rest of the time was almost impossible for link to defend.
And the state of link, Durant was surprised. As a regular season highest score record only 45 points person, link in the playoffs, actually raised his single game personal score record.
So the last three minutes were not easy for Durant.
The two played a whole match and both played very well. But in the end, there can only be one winner.
Before the final three minutes of the game, under the TV screen, there was a list of players who had scored 50 points in the playoffs since the 21st century.
Although it has been 13 years since the 21st century, there are only a few names on the list.
Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Nowitzki and Kobe, no more.
Since the 21st century, there are just five players who have scored 50 points in the playoffs. No LeBron James, no Dwyane Wade, no McGrady, no Garnett, no Anthony... So it''s hard to get 50 points in the playoffs.
Today, people are about to witness the birth of the sixth man of the "50 point lineup".
Link didn''t think that much. He didn''t want to break the record. The only thing he wanted was to win.
But in other people''s scoring efficiency is not high, link has to carry the offensive flag. The record of 50 points in the playoffs is more like a kind of "subsidiary reward". What link really wants is victory!
The pauses are always short and both players are back on the court.
Grizzlies, on the last moment or on the starting lineup. Thunder side, with Kevin Martin replaced the original start of sevrosa.
When link appeared again, thunder fans only used endless boos to cover up their fear of link.
Can a player who has scored nearly 50 points at home without fear?
After the players stepped back on the court, the camera also gave link and Durant a split screen close-up, and put their terrible data at the bottom of the screen.
This is undoubtedly an immortal battle, the league''s best scorer direct confrontation.
Now, no one will question whether link is worthy of being selected in the first team. He has explained everything with his own strength.
Durant is not not good enough, but his competitors are too strong.
Watching the Grizzlies press up in their dark blue jersey, Durant felt a little depressed. Grizzly''s jersey color, is really enough to match their temperament.
"Even if you get 50 points, I won''t let you win the game!" As soon as link approached, Durant gave him an ultimatum.
"I don''t expect you to let me win the game, I will win it myself!" Link said, his eyes fixed on Conley, keeping an eye on whether he wanted to pass the ball.
Link pushed Durant close to the free throw line, then immediately bounced out of the three-point line, shaking the ball out of space.
When link got the basketball, Westbrook was delayed.
Double bag! This is thunder''s new strategy!
However, link was not limited by thunder two little''s bag. In the face of the bag, maybe a player like Kobe would choose to shoot against two defenders. But in fact, the best way to deal with the bag is to find the leaked teammates in the first place.
It''s just that not all stars have a great passing ability.
Passing looks simple, but it is very difficult to do well.
It''s not enough for you to have a good pass, because you have to be able to see your teammates for the first time.
And you can only see the team-mates for the first time, but you can''t send the ball comfortably. It''s also useless.
When Yao Ming was still playing, he couldn''t find a point guard who could comfortably feed the ball into his hand.
For the rockets at that time, it was tactical success to feed the ball to Yao Ming.
However, the ability to pass is not a problem for link, the field can take nearly seven assists forward, the league is also link and James.
With Westbrook and Durant holding up their arms, link shook his wrist and passed the ball through Durant''s crotch!
To the right middle distance position Conley received the basketball, direct shot!
Thunder defense some gambling means inside, on the one hand is gambling link''s passing ability. On the other hand, it''s the Grizzlies'' ability to attack.
The rest of the Grizzlies may not be able to score efficiently in a very strong defense. But this kind of open shot, Conley will not miss.He hit the ball steadily, so that the thunder team''s plan for the first time to declare stranded.
Double bag, it doesn''t work!
"The Grizzlies had a six point advantage, and coach Scott Brooks''s new strategy didn''t seem to work. If the thunder doesn''t want the Grizzlies to score so easily, they have to stick to man to man defense. In this way, the game still depends on link and Durant
Mike brin is right. Double wallets don''t work for Grizzlies. Link can deliver the ball as long as he gets a chance.
For thunder attack, this time, Durant left holding the ball and link confrontation. The Grizzlies didn''t make it, but it was found that mark Gasol was standing behind link''s slant, and if Durant made a breakthrough, there would be an assist defense!
Grizzly''s bag is obviously smarter and more effective than thunder.
After all, Perkins is almost negligible on the offensive side. So even if Durant could pass the ball to Perkins, Perkins would not be able to score.
The combination of the best defensive player and dopy was enough to put Durant under a lot of pressure.
Durant is not stupid. When he saw Gasol''s position, he understood everything in an instant.
Therefore, Durant this time did not choose to break through, but pull out the jump shot!
Link blocked it in time and it didn''t look like a good chance. But Durant finally with his strong projection ability, will hit the ball!
Score difference back to 4 points, Durant''s personal score also came to 44 points! This goal, also once again set Durant in the playoffs in individual single game scoring record!
Although Durant scored, Mike brin was sweating for the thunder. If Durant didn''t break through, how many would he have made in a row?
"Man to man, man to man!" Brooks yelled at the players as the thunder team retreated.
It turns out that a double jacket can''t stop link. Instead of giving the rest of the Grizzlies a chance to score easily, Durant should continue to compete with link. At least that way, the Grizzlies won''t be able to get a full space.
But link has scored 46 points today, which is enough to show that Durant''s defense did not really contain link.
Link this time after catching the ball, he saw that there was no bag, so he boldly began to make movements.
He repeatedly dribbled with his left and right hands, raising his center of gravity several times, but failed to accelerate his breakthrough, which made Durant hesitant.
In the end, Durant decided to steal. He didn''t want to go on with link.
That''s what link is waiting for! Sometimes it is better to make mistakes than others.
Durant is still very strong, although the center of gravity is high, but the timing is good, and the arm span is long enough. Since his career, Durant has had more than one stealer per game per season.
This season, is as high as 1.4 times per game!
As a 2.10-meter-tall forward forward, this is quite a terrible number.
But that''s what link is waiting for, so he''s ready. Before Durant''s slender fingers touch the basketball, link pulls the ball to the side, changes the direction, accelerates immediately, and makes a beautiful breakthrough from Durant''s side!
Durant rushed back to chase, just that situation, most of the opponents must have been cut off. However, link, Leng is able to complete the change of direction so quickly. His dribbling ability is really unmatched in position three.
Just as Durant is trying his best to catch up, link stops and retreats!
Now Durant knew he was done.
Step back jump shot, which is link''s favorite shooting rhythm. Compared with the take-off shot, link felt that he had a better grasp of the backward shot.
Although Durant is tall and has long arms, he is still swayed out by link''s backward step because of his strong rush. Put link so big, basically equivalent to send points!
Sure enough, link''s jump shot is very steady, not sloppy. Basketball into the net, the difference returned to 6 points!
And link''s personal score, has come to 48 points!
"Again, link seems to have mastered all the offensive skills in the world! With two more points, just two more points, link will become the sixth player to score 50 points in the playoffs since the 21st century
Mike brin can''t believe that he''s going to witness history in grizzly bear again!
Iverson, Carter, Kobe, Dirk, Junzi ray... Now, link just needs to score one more goal, and will keep pace with these great names!
However, he is only in the third grade!
Durant was a little upset. Maybe he shouldn''t have snatched it in the first place. Now, the pressure is coming back to Durant. Now, whoever breaks the chain first will be punished.
If link doesn''t score, the difference will be close to thunder. If Durant doesn''t score, they''re a step closer to the edge of the cliff.
This time, the Grizzlies defense Durant''s strategy is the same as before. Link is on the front, Gasol is on the back.Seeing Durant being defended so severely, Westbrook plans to break through on his own this time!
However, just halfway through, Conley reached out and shot Westbrook''s basketball. Fans at the all Chesapeake energy stadium are shocked. If the ball is wrong, there will be a "turtle killing meeting" after the game.
Fortunately, Westbrook stumbled to save the basketball back. But correspondingly, he couldn''t dribble any more.
In the end, thunder No. 0 still had to choose to pass the ball to Durant. After a circle, Durant had to set the tone.
Link is very tight this time, just don''t want Durant to shoot.
Durant made two three threat steps, and finally decided to break through!
He has no choice. He also knows that at this critical moment, he can''t do things that are uncertain.
However, Durant broke through only to find that this choice may be more difficult than shooting!
Pau Gasol''s assist defense is very good, has stuck the position, but does not have the rash fouls.
In the end, Durant had to force his hand under the double attack of link and Gasol.
Thunder fans'' hearts are raised in the throat, Durant failed to create a miracle, his close shot in the link and Gasol''s defense chain, knock out of the box!
"Did not enter, KD did not continue to score! The Grizzlies'' defensive strategy is successful, they won this key defense
Link actively grabs the backboard, then pushes immediately!
Thunder team has some can not run up, after all, they have no more rest time than Grizzlies from the last turn. What''s more, link is physically stronger than most people.
Link skillfully controlled the ball through the crowd, Durant gritted his teeth around him, but could not surpass link.
Finally, link relies on Durant to attack the basket! In the air, Durant gave link a strong confrontation.
Link lost all his center of gravity, but before he fell, he calmly threw the basketball to the backboard.
Durant''s heart was cold as he watched the basketball fall back from his fingertips.
Link fell heavily to the ground and glided on the floor for some distance. He didn''t see whether the ball went in or not, only heard a sigh from thunder fans.
If the goal, then thunder will be in the last 43 seconds, 8 points behind the Grizzlies! In this way, the Grizzlies will gnaw down this away game!
Link immediately got up, but before he could look up at the big screen, the game was stopped by the thunder. Then there was Randolph''s powerful bear hug.
"50, 50! You did it, you did it! We''re going to win, we''re going home with a 3-1 score
Although still did not see the data, but in Randolph''s arms, link happily laughed.
The 50th point, link finally ended last year''s regret.
50, link killed thunder!
