230: High point guard

Kevin Durant gave Link a warning at the beginning of the game.

He had been waiting for this day for too long. After so much distress, Durant must have wanted to vent all the unhappiness in his heart.

Is there anything more that can vent your emotions than a one-stop dunk after a steal?

In the first two games, Durant scored 30+ points, and the Thunder also won. But to be honest, if he could beat the Grizzlies, Durant would definitely get more joy than the previous two games combined.

The Thunder's dunk at the beginning also greatly boosted their morale. Now, from Westbrook's No. 1 position to Perkins' No. 5 position, they are all extremely excited and want to fight the bears with bare hands.

This time, Durant was still standing by Link's side, while Rudy Guy was handed over to Seifrosa.

Link was originally moving slowly towards the bottom corner, but suddenly ran back and cut into the basket!

Durant's reaction was half a beat slow and was left half a position away. Under normal circumstances, as long as Link can catch a basketball, he can get a scoring opportunity! Now Link is the most confident in the off-ball attack.

However, this time, Link did not receive the basketball after cutting in. After all, it was not Conley who was in control of the ball now. Moreover, Westbrook's defense also made it difficult for Vasquis to get the ball as soon as possible!

"Damn it!" Link had already run to the basket, and Vasquis found out that he cut in. There was no doubt that this had lost the best pass opportunity.

So Vasquis had no choice but to hit Guy, who made a mid-range jump shot as usual. However, the timely interference of the "Swiss Army Knife" made Guy's shot lose his accuracy.

The Grizzlies still failed to score!

"The attack was not smooth today." Elston Turner sat next to Hollins, frowned.

"The number one position is restricted to death and cannot organize the attack smoothly. Let's look at a few more rounds to see if there will be any changes." Hollins held his chin, and the thing he was most worried about was still happening.

Vasquis is indeed a good player, but it is still difficult to adapt to tough battles now. When facing a player like Westbrook, Vasquis will struggle to play.

In the following rounds, the Thunder played smoothly. Whether on the offensive or defensive, they were full of vitality and frequently succeeded.

After a few minutes of play, the score became 8-2! On the Grizzlies, they only scored two points with Randolph's free throw. On the Thunder, Durant dunked and scored 4 points with one mid-range shot, while Sevorsa and Ibaka each scored 2 points.

Hollins had to call for a stop to play, and was 6 points behind at the beginning, and he had to change the situation. Now, the Grizzlies' problems are very obvious, and the offense is not smooth, which leads to the Thunder being able to always make a quick counterattack.

But when he turned his head and looked at the bench, the point guard was left with Jordan Famal.

Although Famal was once one of the champions, if you long for him to really play as a champion point guard, then take a shower and go to bed.

Hollins could only give up that bold idea, so he walked up to Link, put down the small stool in his hand, and picked up the tactical board, "Link, you will play No. 1 later."

"Ha!" Link looked at Hollins in a daze, saying that he was universal glue, and he would stick wherever he leaked?

Last season, Link played in the second position, third position and even fourth position. As a result, today, he will be on the first position again!?

Not only Link, but even Elston Turner was confused. A tall point guard has never appeared in NBA history. A ball-handling forward? Didn’t Turkey Tkogru become famous for the Magic in the past two seasons?

But Link has never served as point guard in the Grizzlies, and it is indeed unknown whether he can be competent.

"I know, this is a risky decision. But now, we have to try. You don't want to be beaten up by the Thunder all the game, right? Tony, you are on the court and you are the second position. Link, calmly organize the offense, I believe you can do it."

Link nodded slightly, but in fact he was already very panicked.

Ball-handling striker? In 2011, I have to say that this is still a pretty new concept.

※※※

Durant is very satisfied with his current score, and his teammates' outstanding condition also surprised Durant.

At the beginning, he played the Grizzlies 8-2. He believed that as long as he worked hard enough, perhaps the score difference could be widened to double digits at the end of the first quarter!

He has made a decision and will continue to defend Link next. He will not leave Link for the entire game today!

This may be stronger than the vows between couples.

The electronic beep sounded, and Durant shook his arms and slowly came on the stage with vitality.

As soon as they stepped into the court, Thunder players found that the Grizzlies had substituted. Tony Allen appeared on the basketball court, but at the same time, Link and Guy continued to play.

"Who did Tony Allen replace?" This is a question that everyone has in mind.

The final answer shocked everyone. Tony Allen replaced Vasquis! Now, the Grizzlies do not have a No. 1 player on the court!

"This is a strange substitution. Coach Hollins replaced Vasquis with Tony. So who will control the ball? The Grizzlies have no organization points at all!"

"Not necessarily, the Grizzlies are still a little organized. But I don't know if he can take on the heavy responsibility." Hubby Brynn frowned slightly, and I have to say that this is indeed a dangerous move!

"Hmph, useless resistance!" Durant no matter so much, no matter how the Grizzlies change their formation, he will lead the Thunder to win today!

After returning from the timeout, Durant stood in the backcourt and waited for Link to run through the half. But to his surprise, Link actually stood at the bottom line of the other half, received the bottom line ball, and then personally pushed the ball!

"Link is the No. 1 position with the ball!?" Everyone opened their mouths. What routine is the Grizzlies?

Although Link has never played No. 1 position, he is indeed one of the offensive starting points in the Grizzlies' tactical system and is the team's second organization point. Therefore, he is still very familiar with how the team's tactics operate. Otherwise, Link would not have won nearly 5 assists per game last season.

Durant has not let Link catch the ball today, but now Link directly controls the ball and pushes it in front of him. Durant opens his arms and will not let Link take another step forward!

Link did not force himself to break out. Since he was playing No. 1 position, he had to do his best to do his job.

He made several gestures to direct his teammates to run. Durant did not look back, but stared at No. 0 in front of him.

He didn't believe that Link could really play like a No. 1 position.

However, just when everyone thought the Grizzlies' offense was about to stagnate again, Link raised the basketball and smashed it hard on the floor!

After refraction of the basketball, it traveled through the crowd and was hit and sent to Tony Allen!

Tony Allen just borrowed a cover without the ball and threw away Westbrook. As soon as he ran out, Link's pass arrived, which can be said to be true!

After receiving the basketball, Tony Allen easily made a layup, 4-8, the Grizzlies finally broke the scoring drought!

"This!?" Durant turned around, but saw that it was Westbrook who was missing again!

Why do you say "again"? Because Westbrook has caused too much trouble in these two seasons. Last season's playoffs, his too unrestrained style of play was criticized by all walks of life. As a result, today, he made his opponent score successfully at the critical moment of opening the score.

Durant gritted his teeth, why can't the Grizzlies kill them? As the score difference goes to double digits, they are pulled back again!

"With a beautiful assist, Link's idea is very clear. After the timeout, he made the Grizzlies' offense much smoother in the first round!" Hubby Bryn praised on the commentary stage, a 2.03-meter-high point guard? It's really charming!

At this time, even Vasquis, who was sitting on the bench, must admit that Link was better than himself in passing accuracy and decisiveness.

The ball just now was actually Vasquis could pass it, but it was not necessarily the case under the pressure of the opponent.

And Link, even when facing a "spider monster" like Durant, can calmly sort out the attack. Such ability is indeed not something that everyone has.

After scoring the goal, Link pointed at Tony Allen and looked at Durant who was gritting his teeth.
