Link''s 40 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds made Kevin Durant and Chris Paul all lose.
Of course, it also makes link''s own MVP night more legendary.
Just won the full MVP, reached the playoffs 40 points triple double achievement.
There is hardly any star MVP night, can do more perfect than link.
At the press conference after the game, the reporters all looked scornful, "didn''t you just say that you won''t compare the data with Durant in the afternoon? Why did you get a 40 point triple at night? If you say you didn''t mean it, no one will believe it. "
Faced with the questioning of journalists, link is very innocent.
I didn''t really want to brush the data intentionally. Link still remembers that he only got 30 points when he got off the court for the first time.
If it wasn''t for the Clippers that suddenly pushed the score close to the danger zone, link would never have been on again.
Ten points in a row at the end of the day was the result of tactical mix-up. In those rounds, link was the only attack point of the Grizzlies, so it was normal to score fast. As for the last two rebounds, Randolph is not here, and link is in charge of collecting rebounds. So, link didn''t get 40 points and triple doubles just to lose against Durant.
"You may not believe it. I just accidentally surpassed KD. So I said, "don''t compare the data with me." Link shrugged his shoulders. If he were to brush the data, he believed that he could do it by 50 points and 3 pairs.
Link''s words will certainly make Durant speechless. From data to honor, link can do better than Durant.
He has proved with practical actions that this full vote MVP is worthy of his name.
But tonight, it''s not Durant that''s hit the hardest. It''s Chris Paul.
When the Clippers tried desperately to reverse the game but failed, the discussion was not about how brave the clippers were fighting, but who was better off with link and Durant''s data.
A race has passed, and the Clippers are still the same. People still care about link and Durant. In front of Grizzlies, the clippers can''t lift their heads at all.
Game 3 of the series, the battlefield is finally moving to Los Angeles. But the clippers were completely destroyed before they went home.
Back at home, can the Clippers make a comeback?
After two failed attempts, don''t expect too much from their prospects...
link left the court happily with his MVP trophy and a key victory, but for the clippers, it may be his worst night of the season.
Link gave the Clippers hope again and again, and then crushed them. This is far more cruel than simply not giving them hope.
After this game, the Grizzlies have basically confirmed a place in the Western Conference finals. And thunder, also ready to quickly confirm another seat.
In the second game of the Western semi-final, link''s 40 point triple double data immediately compared Durant''s "quasi triple double".
Durant is holding his breath, and he hopes he can play better in the second game.
Before meeting link formally, he didn''t want to fall behind.
Facing the San Antonio Spurs, Durant, who finished second in MVP voting, is quite confident. Because thunder swept the Spurs 4-0 in the regular season. And last game, Durant also led the team to win.
Come down, thunder and Spurs this season''s record, is proud of 5-0!
It is not too much to say that this is an overwhelming advantage. Durant believes that as long as he continues his performance in the last game and wants to take a 2-0 lead like the Grizzlies, there will be no problem.
But San Antonio''s ambition this year is more than just the western semifinals.
"The previous season we were eliminated by Grizzlies, last season we were knocked out by thunder... We have been out of the Western Conference semi-finals for several years in a row, I believe, you don''t want to go back to the old way."
Popovich is giving a pre match speech to his players in the visiting team locker room at Chesapeake energy stadium.
Unlike other teams, the players didn''t yell excitedly after Popovich''s speech. The San Antonio Spurs are not that kind of team, after Popovich''s impassioned shout, the dressing room is still silent.
It would have been embarrassing for other coaches to come here.
But Popovich knows that''s the style of the San Antonio Spurs. This team likes to break out in silence.
Before the game started, people were more optimistic that thunder would continue to win. Durant and link, it seems, are destined to play the peak game in the Western Conference finals.
But few people know that the Spurs have shot as high as 52.3% in the playoffs. But the Spurs, but no one in the field scored 20 points.
In other words, this year, San Antonio Spurs, is really the team attack to the extreme!They may not have such super popular stars as Durant and link, but together, their strength can not be underestimated.
At the beginning of today, Durant''s desire to score is very strong. He thought he was able to start with consecutive points, but waiting for him, it was a continuous strike.
Cavai Leonard, who is still unknown to the fans, is on his way to promotion.
Durant faced Leonard''s defense, offensive play very suffocating. His attack is too taken for granted, he is in front of that is like facial paralysis in general number two is too simple.
Durant''s attack was blocked, and the Spurs took the lead in tearing the thunder defense with their team.
In the thunder lacks Ibaka''s situation, Duncan frequently scores in the interior line. Under normal circumstances, a veteran close to 40 years old should be in a championship team, holding his thighs and mixing a ring.
And Duncan, at the age of nearly 40, is still the thigh of the championship team!
In the end, the thunder team was 11 points behind the Spurs in the first quarter. Durant came out of the court panting, he was shocked!
San Antonio''s power is so great? Kent can''t be defeated by five teams!
In the second quarter, thunder continued to attack, but was still at a loss. Durant, the scoring king, seems to be a rookie at a loss, and his every shot seems to be uncertain.
As the difference widened, Durant was more and more surprised.
He didn''t think he would have any trouble in the series. He thought he and link had been confirmed for the Western Conference finals.
But the San Antonio told Durant, "we''re not old enough to admit defeat."
In the end, Durant has not been able to find the offensive state. On the contrary, it is the Spurs, who have played their superb team attack to the utmost.
After 48 minutes of the game, the Spurs slaughtered thunder by 23 points! In front of link''s 40 points triple double data, Durant today only 15 points in the account! 6 out of 16, shooting 37.5%!
In the whole game, thunder only scored 77 points, not even 80 points. On the Spurs side, the team''s shooting rate was 50%, five people scored double, two scored 20.
Cavai Leonard played for 34 minutes, but made only four shots. He put all his energy into defending Durant, and then Durant rolled over.
"No... incredible ending. Before the game starts, no one can predict the result The live commentary of Chesapeake energy stadium was speechless. Thunder was so badly abused by the Spurs today!
The Clippers played two games with the Grizzlies, and none of them was more than 15 points apart. Thunder is good, directly lost the Spurs 23 points!
Durant has a gloomy face after the game. In recent days, he has been thinking about link and the Western Conference finals. But today, Durant suddenly found that whether he can pass the western semifinals is still a problem!
Link also watched the game today, the Spurs outstanding performance let him fear.
Link originally thought that the Spurs may no longer have the strength to compete for the championship after history has changed. After all, in this history, no Mavericks pushed the Spurs to the limit in the first round.
But this game, let link see the Spurs terrible dominance.
Efficient attack, almost error free defense, and a steady rhythm control. Of course, there is the fearsome facial paralysis No. 2, the silent man who can''t find the basket for the scoring King... The champion spurs that link is very familiar with finally appears!
Link is well aware that the Spurs are the 14 year title in the original history. If they really find their best, then...
the Grizzlies'' opponents in the Western Conference finals will become one level stronger in an instant! Leonard will also be in link and will have more trouble in the next game.
Compared with the champion spurs, link found that he actually began to miss Durant and thunder.
The situation in the West has not yet been decided.
