Westbrook stood on the free throw line and he was sweating profusely. Today, even with a "superman body", he felt extremely tired. The Grizzlies' defensive strength is too great.

This is the first time that Westbrook is desperate because of a team's defense. Indeed, Westbrook's shooting percentage is not very good in the first game, but at least the rest of the Thunder can still score, and the Thunder's offense will not stagnate.

And today, when Westbrook decided to pass the ball and thought about his behavior with his brain, he found that the Grizzlies actually sealed the Thunder!

Before the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led the Grizzlies by 16 points. After Link's buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Thunder still had a 13-point advantage. In other words, the Thunder led the way into the fourth quarter with 13 points.

Now, Westbrook must steadily pass these two goals to help the Thunder equalize the score! In the entire fourth quarter, the Thunder's offense was cut off due to the Grizzlies' defense!

"It's incredible, it's incredible. The Memphis Grizzlies allowed us to see what tenacity means! Westbrook made 1 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter, and Kevin Durant made 2 of 7 shots in the fourth quarter! Link and Randolph led the Grizzlies' counterattack on both offense and defense, especially Link, who scored 8 points from 3 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter, and each point was very fatal! Now we realize that his buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the third quarter was already a warning to the Thunder!"

Accompanied by Hubby Brown's commentary, the live shot gave Link a close-up. Link stood beside Durant with his hands on his hips. Most of the Thunder players were so tired that they supported their knees with their hands, but Link was breathing very smoothly.

Link has to thank Randolph now, and that guy is right. In the playoffs, this trick will be ignored by many people, that is, have a good rest!

Fishing and barbecue on the Mississippi River allowed Link to face this tug-of-war with ease!

"That's right, Hubby, Link has scored 24 points and has surpassed Westbrook and Durant in scoring. Moreover, his defense against Durant's meat grinder in the fourth quarter made the league's scoring champion make 2 of 7 shots! It's hard to imagine that a undraft actually has such perseverance! It's hard to imagine that we are comparing a undraft with a undraft and a league scoring champion!" Kevin Harlan followed Hubby Brown and agreed. He thought the Grizzlies had no hope today.

But I have to say that what the Grizzlies showed in the fourth quarter made Kevin Harlan completely shocked.

Westbrook took a deep breath after receiving the referee's pass, and the booing in the Federal Express Arena immediately reached the top level. However, today, Westbrook's performance was indeed worthy of praise. Not only did he not have a fever in his head today, he also grasped the last two key free throws.

86 to 86, in the last 4 seconds of the game, Westbrook used a free throw to equalize the score. Both sides scored not high, and the Grizzlies scored too little at the beginning. But in the fourth quarter, the Thunder scored too little. Including Westbrook's two free throws just now, the Thunder only scored 10 points in the fourth quarter!

The Grizzlies played a 23-10 wave in the fourth quarter, and their tenacity has impressed the whole world.

The Grizzlies' last attack was handed over to Randolph. This guy has scored a large double-double of 21 points and 19 rebounds today. That's right, 19 rebounds! He took 4 frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter with energy in the fourth quarter, which is the basis for the Grizzlies to be able to successfully counterattack.

His forward combination with Link made the Thunder's Gemini suffer again.

In the last attack, the Grizzlies only needed 2 points to win, so Hollins chose to let Randolph play inside.

Unfortunately, Randolph's attack was closely interfered by Ibaka, and the difference between the hit was a slight difference. When the electronic beep sounded, the whole audience sighed. The Grizzlies had to fight the Thunder with an 86-86 score to enter the overtime battle with the Thunder.

"Oh my God, it's just a little bit, it's so shocking! The Grizzlies almost killed the game, but even so, it can't cover up the Grizzlies' greatness today. Their fourth quarter game will fully interpret the words tenacity, defense and positive! If the Thunder can't adjust it in overtime, then for the Grizzlies they just postponed the victory!" Hubby Brown was not very disappointed when he saw Randolph missing the final score. As he said, the Grizzlies just postponed the victory.

"I don't know what supports Link and Randolph to the end and are still full of vitality. If it weren't for them, the Grizzlies would have finished playing. The Thunder should have thanked God for giving them a chance to start over again, and they must seize it!"

If Link told Kevin Harlan that he and Randolph became so energetic because of a grilled fish, I wonder if Harlan would die speechlessly.

The overtime is only 5 minutes, so every round is extremely important. There is only 130 seconds apart between the fourth quarter and the overtime, so the head coach actively pounced on the game as soon as the players got off the court.

"We need to play efficient offense. In the fourth quarter, your offensive choices are very problematic! Play more offenses and use the offense to cover the running position! Be cheering up, we haven't lost yet!" Scott Brooks' roar made the fans in the fourth row of the stands hear it clearly.

As we all know, Brooks is not a tactical master, so he is actually unable to crack the Grizzlies' defense for a while. His arrangement is just a few simple ideas, and the players will decide how to execute it themselves.

130 seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and Westbrook, Durant, Harden and others dragged their tired bodies back into the court. Throughout the game, under the high-intensity defense of the Grizzlies, the Thunder, who had always liked to exert force on the offensive end, was exhausted.

On the Thunder, Link and Randolph came on the court and ran into each other with confidence. The two of them had a calm expression, breathing smoothly, and were still full of energy. They could still fight the Thunder for another five minutes!

The third young master of Thunder swallowed, and this time he was really a tough guy! Randolph took Link to pinch it tightly in terms of physical distribution and reserve.

"The overtime starts, Perkins has not won the basketball, so he can no longer jump. The Grizzlies attack first, and the Grizzlies played two overtimes during the regular season this year and won all of them. Their perseverance is extremely useful in overtime!"

Conley was actually a little tired. After all, he did not participate in the "oldering activities" organized by Randolph. So after halftime, he handed the ball to Link, who was the most in control.

Link faced Durant with the ball and jokingly curled the corners of his mouth, "You're so tired, man."

"Fuck!" Durant cursed in his heart, but he did not express his emotions on his face.

Link waved, Randolph brought out the cover, and the Grizzlies' forwards began to cooperate again!

Without hesitation, Link took the ball and rushed to the basket. Kendrick Perkins was on high alert, but when Link actually came to him, he knew what it means to be unable to do so.

When he was competing for the ball, Perkins felt exhausted. So, Perkins couldn't jump up completely, so he pressed Link tightly in the air.

So, the referee whistle sounded and Link stood on the free throw line, and he had the opportunity to set the victory for the Grizzlies!

"Perkins is exhausted. His injured knee must bear 122 kilograms. Moreover, the defensive end has to keep moving. Perkins obviously can't jump, so Link dares to challenge him directly."

Brown's analysis was correct. A physically energetic Perkins, Link would definitely not hit the gun. But when a big center almost exhausts his physical strength, his defensive ability will drop at least half. The result of not moving sideways fast enough + not jumping high enough is that he is fouled.

Link's free throw is no different from giving away points for him. Without exhausting his physical fitness, Link's free throw is as stable as a machine.

After two free throws, the Thunder fell behind and the Federal Express Arena cheered. Link scored 26 points, surpassing Durant with 22 points. You should know that at the end of the third quarter, Durant even disagreed with Link's buzzer-beating three-pointer.

But now, Link has suppressed Durant tightly.

Then the Thunder attacked. According to Brooks, the Thunder would play an offense without the ball.

But Brooks' tactic is not very applicable. First of all, Westbrook is not an organized guard, so it is difficult for him to organize an off-ball offense.

Secondly, under the strict defense of the Grizzlies, it is difficult for the Thunder to get opportunities by running without the ball, and it will increase the consumption of physical strength.

Durant was in such a dilemma, and it was so exhausted that he could hardly get rid of Link. When he received the ball and shot, his rhythm was completely disrupted. In addition, he was overdrawn and could hardly shoot steadily.

"Bang!"

"Durant missed again, which is really fatal to the Thunder! Link almost exhausted Durant. He used his enthusiasm to curb the scoring champion again on the defensive end!"

Link is now considered popular in the league's scoring king.

Link's one offense and one defense set the Grizzlies' advantage in overtime. Then, Randolph scored another goal and started 4-0.

The Thunder finally scored the goal in the third leg of overtime. But it was not Westbrook and Durant who scored, but Ibaka!

The Thunder Gemini are already very tired. Their hit rate is low in the fourth quarter. People were expecting them to be able to recover their form in overtime. Who knows that in overtime, they are not having a low hit rate, but are just silent!

In the subsequent overtime, Durant and Westbrook failed to score a goal! Durant was sealed by Link, who was still active, and Westbrook was guarded by Randolph and Gasol, and it was difficult to score goals in interference.

In the last 56.8 seconds of the game, when Link easily broke through the exhausted Durant and scored a jump shot to pull the gap to 6 points, Scott Brooks buried his head in despair.
Chapter completed!
