349: Don't make me put down the thermos
Durant came with determination to win.
When he stepped into the Federal Express Arena, he had only one idea in his mind to smash this home court, which was known as unbeaten in the playoffs!
The victory in the first two games gave Durant great confidence, with three consecutive scoring champions, second-place MVP voting, and other honors, which made Durant extremely inflated now.
He will repay the humiliation of last year together this year! There is nothing more fun than humiliating his opponent at other people's home court.
Therefore, even in the face of overwhelming booing from Grizzlies fans, Durant still said, "Our goal is to be 4-0, we must strive to end the battle in Memphis!"
Durant is really crazy now and does not give Link any face at all. He is very glad that the Grizzlies have not lost at home yet. In this way, Durant can break the only wish of Memphis fans with his own hands!
On the other hand, Link became inexplicably popular because of yesterday's "thermill incident".
"Link, why didn't you sweat much during yesterday's training?"
"Do you think rest is more important than training? Then how did you rest today?"
"Do you think the Grizzlies can really maintain an unbeaten record at home? This means the Grizzlies have to tie the total score at home. This is not an easy task for any team in the league."
Link is different from Durant, who looks solemn. When facing the camera, he smiles like the Grizzlies leading 2-0. "In the playoffs, every game is not easy. We have played so many difficult games, but these two games are missing?"
Link's appearance makes the outside world look a little unreliable. Look, Howard was laughing all day, but Magic has never achieved any reliable results for so many years. The most awesome time was that he entered the finals.
Compared with often serious stars such as Kobe and Wade, Howard is less domineering.
Now, reporters feel that Link is moving in the direction of Howard.
However, Link did not do this because he didn't care about victory, he just wanted to adjust his mindset as much as possible.
When playing at home, he bears the double pressure of falling behind 2-0 and unbeaten at home. If Link does not relieve himself of pressure, he will be crushed to death before the game starts.
Therefore, he tried not to create an atmosphere that was too tense for himself. If he wanted to perform well in such a game, he should not be too tense.
In this way, Link stepped into the court with the image of a wolfberry boy and a hilarious attitude. Almost everyone except Memphis fans thought Link had given up.
Yes, after all, he is just a undraft and is only in the second grade. How much responsibility do you want him to take? Everyone needs to have a growth process, and it is normal for young players to do this.
But just as the referee whistle sounded and cheers burst out from the stands, Link's eyes changed.
Now, he only wants to win Durant!
"Marc Gasol has won the first attack ball for the Grizzlies, and this key battle has officially begun! The Thunder are coming in full force today, and Kevin Durant has said more than once that he will win at the Federal Express Arena! He has made up his mind to fight and decide quickly! But maybe he forgot that no team can easily take away the victory when they encounter the Grizzlies!"
Hubby Brown was quite angry. The Grizzlies were completely beaten by Durant! Maybe the scoring champion had forgotten that every team had to take off the skin after thinking about the Grizzlies' level last season.
After Conley got the basketball that Gasol won, he directly gave the ball to Link! The cheers from the audience immediately climaxed. For the first time in this game, Link wanted to set an example for the whole team!
Link was holding the ball while making gestures. Durant opened his arms and said that the guy's arm span was between 2.26 and 2.28 meters. In comparison, Link's sofa was almost that long.
Link often faced his sofa at home, feeling the terrible area of Durant's defense.
But now, Link is fearless. He is full of energy and has a strong desire to score.
Link dribbled the ball in front of Durant to find the rhythm. Durant was unmoved and still had a dark face. He didn't believe that Link could break through his defense by fighting alone.
Just when Durant thought there would be a cover, Link suddenly accelerated and rushed to Durant's right.
Durant hurriedly moved the block, and with his lateral movement speed and wingspan, it was easy to block Link.
However, just as Link was halfway through, he suddenly stopped and retreated outside the three-point line, staring at the basket!
Durant jumped up and blocked directly like a conditioned reflex, and Link liked to take a step back and three-point jump shot, which is no secret!
But Durant just left the ground with his feet, and he regretted it! Link didn't want to take a step back and jump shot at all. He was a fake action to worship Buddha!
In a cross step, Link easily wiped it from Durant who was rushing towards him.
"Goodbye!" Link slapped Durant's side and shouted at him.
After getting rid of Durant, Link stopped and jumped after the free throw line!
Hubby Bryn was the first to raise his arms and celebrate the goal in advance when Link made a move. This was a variant of cross-step and emergency stop mid-range shot!
This is Link's killer move, he will not miss it!
"Brush!" In Durant's desperate gaze, the basketball was hollowed out into the net, and Link won the first round against Durant!
"Boom!" At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena was like a tsunami, and cheers came to her face, as if she could feel the powerful sound.
Link returned to his half with a bounce. When the camera was pointing at his face again, people found that the one who laughed and said "Don't panic" before the game had disappeared.
Now Link frowned and pouted. When he put down the thermos, there will be a bloody storm!
Listening to the violent cheer and looking at Link's expression, Durant felt goosebumps all over his body.
This is the Federal Express Arena that is invincible in the playoffs!
"With a beautiful goal, Link showed his friendship with the landlords. He helped the Grizzlies get a good start with a firm attack at the beginning! I believe that this goal will greatly boost the morale of other Grizzlies players! Now, they are taking a gamble and they have no way out! So, they can only move forward!" Hubby Brown waved his fists excitedly, and with the shouts of the fans, the atmosphere of the entire stadium was enough to make people excited!
Durant swallowed, Link's momentum was indeed different from the previous two games. But he was not afraid. He knew that winning another game would be 3-0. And 3-0 was almost equivalent to sentenceing the Grizzlies to death!
Durant will not let this opportunity to win the series easily!
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook was not the kind of organizational guard. After receiving the bottom line, he rushed through the half at the fastest speed, and the pace was raised very quickly.
But the black and white bears were not panicked. They stood on the edge of the penalty area and moved left and right, stabilizing the basket first to prevent Westbrook from directly hitting the basket.
Seeing that the defense was tight at the basket, Westbrook hit the ball to Durant.
As soon as Durant received the basketball, before he could react, Link stretched out his arm!
"Link directly wants to steal, he doesn't give Durant any time and space to breathe!"
The ball was stabbed away by Link, but Durant turned around, grabbed the ball with his long arm, and controlled it back, which saved the ball without any danger.
But Durant's ball has not yet been secured, and Link's second steal has come again!
This extremely aggressive and oppressive defense made Durant feel like he was back to last season!
This time, neither side grabbed the ball. After the basketball was destroyed, it slid along the center line towards the outside of the boundary.
The ball rolling towards the sideline is the worst thing to compete for, because the distance between the court and the technical table is very close. If the fish jump to save the ball, it is easy to directly bump into the technical table.
But Link did not hesitate at all. At the moment he destroyed the basketball, he chased after him and threw him to the ground, retrieving the basketball!
Before he could do any protective action, Link felt a sharp pain in his head instantly, and he really hit the technical station!
The audience exclaimed, and everyone was praying that Link must not be in any serious trouble. But before the prayer was over, Link got up from the floor again.
"This is the traditional Chinese iron-headed skill." Thunder coach Scott Brooks was stunned. What did that guy do?
After Link stood up, he happened to see Tony Allen who received the save the ball and made a quick break layup. So he immediately waved his fist hard again.
It was not until this time that Link rubbed his Tianling Cap. It was fake if he didn't hurt, it was really a fucking pain!
But it's worth it to be able to defend Durant!
"The tough defense and beautiful fast break, Link showed the Grizzlies' attitude today in just two rounds! It seems that he is not a big deal. This tough guy vows to protect his home court even if he dies!"
Durant was shocked. The goal just now was too dangerous. And this was just the first round of defense, so Link played this way!
When Durant approached again, Link lowered his center of gravity, his eyes seemed to be staring at the prey lion, and then lifted his trouser legs.
Chapter completed!
