Durant appeared on the Warriors bench in a suit, with a confident smile on his face, as if he was confident about the game.

Although Durant will not appear today, he is still sought after by fans on the scene.

Flashes of cheers came from the stands, proving his popularity at the Oracle Arena.

But soon, the cheers turned into boos. Durant turned his head and saw that it was true that everyone from the Grizzlies had appeared.

Those guys can always get the highest-level "welcome" and "reception" at Oracle Arena.

"The Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors, no matter how many times they watch, the showdown between them will not be boring. Before the game started, players and fans on both sides had already created enough gimmicks on the Internet. Now, it's time to finish the regular season."

After Mike Bryn finished speaking, he looked at the fanatical fans around him.

Although this is only a regular season game, although the Warriors' plan to win the West is basically impossible to achieve.

But even so, Oakland fans are still very enthusiastic. The atmosphere of this game is simply playoff level.

Link started warming up immediately after appearing. Although the Warriors did not have Durant, Link did not relax at all.

Mike Bryn also discovered that when he saw Link appearing to warm up, Durant's originally confident smile disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there is the anxiety revealed by a slight frowning.

Mike Brin shook his head, this was the expression Durant should have now.

It's no secret that no one on the Warriors can play against Link.

Anyone who has analyzed it carefully will know that Link has no opponent at all today. Unless Cole uses Green to play the third position, and then sends two inside players to resist the Grizzlies' double towers.

But according to the Warriors' style, it is impossible for them to play in this lineup. If the Warriors do this, the space they are proud of will disappear.

Therefore, the Warriors will be directly exposed to Link's powerful firepower today without any shelter!

Not to mention the Warriors players, even Mike Bryn is anxious for the Warriors.

So seeing Durant become anxious, Mike Bryn felt normal.

Yes, that guy wants to pretend to be confident in front of fans and the media.

But no matter how well you pretend to be before the game, you will soon reveal your feelings after entering the game...

Golden State Warriors, how should we resist Link's attack today? Judging from Link's condition today... he will not be polite to the Warriors.

Cole gritted his teeth and looked at the Grizzlies' lineup and shook his head secretly.

If he had successfully chased Andre Iguodala back then, the Warriors would not have such troubles now.

Durant's absence has a huge blow to the Warriors. With the complete lineup this season, the Warriors' record of playing against the Grizzlies is only 1 win and 2 losses.

Now that there is a general missing, Cole really doesn't know what to do.

If this game is just an ordinary game, then if you lose, you will lose.

But it was so dying that Durant and Green had already made the popularity of this game very high.

Now, all Auckland is waiting for the Warriors to win, and basketball fans all over the world are focusing on this.

If the Warriors can't win, God knows how much saliva they will be flooded with.

Cole didn't continue to think too much. Now that things have come to this, he can only hold on like Durant and Green.

Before the game started, Stephen A. Smith interviewed Green, and his question was very straightforward: "Durant is absent, which will definitely reduce the strength of the Warriors. Do you really think that you can curb Link without Durant?"

Faced with such a straightforward question, Green chose to continue to pretend to be tough: "We will fight back with Kevin's part, he just needs to wait on the sidelines for the victory to come. Today, in Oakland, the Grizzlies will see the horror of the defending champion."

"Puff!" Stephen a. Smith didn't laugh out loud. If he hadn't carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the two teams, he might have believed Green's nonsense.

That guy's face doesn't blush and his heart doesn't beat, he really easily confuses others.

"Is that so? Then I can only wish you good luck, Draymond." Smith ended the interview after saying this.

He wanted to see how the Warriors continued to pretend to be calm on the court.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the referee threw the ball into the air. Gasol won the first attack for the Grizzlies, and Cole's face instantly became very ugly.

Due to Durant's injury, the Warriors' starting players today were McCaw, Curry, Thompson, Green and Pachuria.

They used three defenders on the outside!

However, McCau and Thompson are both over 2 meters tall, and McCau was selected into the best defensive team in NCAA, and his defense is very good.

With him and Thompson joining forces, the Warriors' defensive wing problems don't seem to be big.

On the surface, the Warriors seem to perfectly solve the vacancy that Durant is not left behind. Although McCaw cannot compare with Durant in offensive firepower, he can at least defend.

As long as you can defend, you won't be dragged down.

But if you can't defend against Link, that's another matter.

In the first leg of the game, Conley passed the ball to Link.

Cole's expression became even more nervous, and it was the Grizzlies who had been playing in this style since losing to the Pacers.

Warm up? Transition? Test?

It doesn't exist. Every recent game in the Grizzlies seems to be eager to slap them in the first quarter!

Klay Thompson is very nervous. Since Durant joined last season, he has rarely played against Link.

But he did not forget that before Durant joined the Warriors, he was terrible to be dominated by Link.

Thompson is a defensive player in front of ordinary players, but in front of stars, Thompson's defense is not enough to pose a threat.

Link signaled everyone to pull away, he wanted to grab the Warriors' weakness and attack!

Facing Klay Thompson, who was not defensively aggressive, Link used a crossover with a huge arc.

If James was defending this ball, he would definitely fight to the point where he would give Link a confrontation.

If Durant is defending Link now, he will definitely spread his long arms and try to stop Link's breakthrough.

However, Thompson was unable to do either of the above two ways of dealing with it!

His inadversarial defense made him unable to give Link a powerful confrontation in time. His physical condition is inferior to Durant, and he cannot rely on his arm span to increase his defense area.

After Link changed direction, he kicked the ground suddenly, and flashed past Thompson with a "swoosh".

The league's most confusing change, coupled with the league's fastest first step, was enough to get Link to throw Thompson out of the sky.

After breaking through Thompson, Green immediately made up for defense. Today, the Warriors' strategy is very simple. He would rather let the other Grizzlies score than to make Link play crazy completely!

But before Green interfered, Link stopped very gently and shot the mid-range shot.

His jumping height is very sufficient, his shooting moves are fast, but his shooting moves are very complete.

This picturesque emergency stop mid-shot is a difficult scenery to see in this era that only focuses on three-pointers and breakthroughs.

"brush!"

The wonderful scenery naturally has to be accompanied by wonderful notes.

The basketball was hollowed into the net, and Link scored easily on the Warriors as soon as he got up!

"Damn it!" Cole sighed. As far as the point is concerned, Link is indeed unstoppable today. Thompson is too academic to defend, and he can't stop Link at all...

Durant gritted his teeth. If he could play...at least he wouldn't have made Link score so easily.

After scoring the goal, Link did not show off his power at Thompson, but pointed to Durant who was sitting on the bench at this time.

"I will destroy the Warriors with my own hands, sit down and enjoy it!"

Link's tone was very firm and his expression was quite serious.

This shows that Link is not squirting trash talks with Durant, but is warning him!

Durant must be responsible for his previous cross-line behavior today, and what is the more cruel thing to destroy the Warriors in front of him?

Cole also heard Link's yell, but he was not desperate.

At least on the offensive end, the Warriors can still fight!

He waved his big hand and signaled everyone to attack patiently.

However, any team that plays against the Grizzlies does not seem to have any good endings this season...
Chapter completed!
