352: I will look at your regretful expression
Kevin Durant felt sweat dripping into his eyes, but he didn't even dare to move his eyelids.
At this time, the three-game scoring king was running on the court, trying to get rid of the Chinese No. 0 who was chasing behind him. Of course, you must also pay attention to your teammates' passing at any time to avoid making mistakes.
At this time, any mistakes will end early!
Durant had the ease with the right three-point line. Just as he got in the position, James Harden's pass found him.
Durant held the ball and glanced at Link Link. Link had almost rushed to Durant, but in Durant's opinion, this was still a safe distance!
For him, as long as he can't directly block his shot, it's a safe distance.
So, the tall and thin No. 35, wearing a sky blue jersey, pulled up the shot. Time seemed to have frozen, and the expressions of the fans in the stands were frozen. Everyone in the Thunder showed a nervous and uneasy expression, but Durant, who shot the shot, had a expressionless face and a relaxed face.
In front of him, Link, who led the Grizzlies to suppress the Thunder, has blocked it. Due to the difference in height and wingspan, Link cannot directly complete the block. But no matter what standard you use to measure, Link can definitely score a full score on the defense of this ball, and Durant was seriously disturbed!
"Link defends well. Can this shot be made??" Hubby Brown stood up, his heart beating wildly, as if he had never been so energetic.
According to normal standards, this ball did cause serious interference. But Link's defense target is the top scorer in three consecutive scoring!
What is the concept of a three-game scoring champion? Including Durant, in NBA history, only six players have achieved the feat of three-game scoring champion. Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, George McCann, George Gervin, Bob McCardou and Neil Johnston, from the youngest scoring champion to the three-game scoring champion, Durant is as famous as these great names!
And among the current players, no one can match Durant's achievements!
Therefore, you can understand that Kevin Durant is the best scorer among the active players!
For ordinary players, Link is a serious interference. But for Durant, it is not impossible to make a shot!
Link knew that his defense was already very tight, but after blocking it, he quickly turned around and looked at the basket!
Unfortunately, Link didn't see the scene he wanted to see. The basketball was hollowed into the net, rolling up a "white wave". Durant made a three-pointer with serious interference!
"Scored! This is a great goal! Kevin Durant let the Oklahoma City Thunder catch the difference to only 3 points in the last 28 seconds of the game! The Grizzlies' attempt to open the score was destroyed again, and the Thunder still have hope of equalizing the score!"
At that moment, many commentators from other TV stations or other countries on the commentary stood up and cheered. Only Hubby Brown was regretting that the showdown between Link and Durant was really heartbreaking!
Durant did not yell, but just clenched his fists hard. He stared at Link straight at him. The war between the two continued from the first second of the game to the last 28 seconds now!
Hollins called to stop the game, and the thing he was most worried about came as he was finally here! The game was dragged into the key round, and Link was panting!
"This is Kevin Durant's 23rd point! His three-pointer made the Thunder, who was hanging by the line of life, see hope again. Next, as long as the Thunder can defend against the next round, they will have the opportunity to equalize the score! The pressure all comes to Link!" Hubby Brown said, and the scene camera also cooperated to give Link a close-up of his face.
Today, the Grizzlies have been taking the initiative since the first quarter. But the Thunder played well and have been stalking the score.
Link and Durant continued to rush in the second quarter, and Link played another 12 minutes in the third quarter, and Durant was also with him.
Until the fourth quarter, the two men took a few rounds to fight again. It can be said that this is a battlefield for top small forwards.
Link had already scored 32 points at this time, 9 more than the three-game winning streak Durant! Whenever Durant wants to get the momentum to smooth the gap, Link will stand up in time and stabilize the situation with a beautiful goal.
I just don’t know that this time, Link is still stable. Durant played for 42 minutes today, which is already very impressive. Link’s playing time is 45 minutes! Except for the second and first few rounds of the fourth quarter, Link almost fought at high intensity.
I'm afraid the effect of that banana won't last for that long
When Link walked off the court, his first sentence was to call the team doctor, "Help me relax my muscles!"
He was afraid that he would get cramps later, after all, he had really reached the critical point and could feel it. And if there was a mistake in his body at a critical moment, any good opportunity would be wasted.
45 minutes of playing are actually nothing. The key is that in these 45 minutes, Link has to face the opponent's strongest offensive point and the opponent's sharpest defense, which is indeed a bit harsh.
At least Westbrook and Harden were around Durant to share the offensive pressure, but what about Link? He didn't dare to stop for a moment.
At this time, Hollins was setting up tactics for the last attack. Since the Grizzlies were leading by 3 points, they still took the initiative. Therefore, Hollins' goal is to have two points and delay the time.
"Link comes out to hold the ball in the last 10 seconds, and the others pull it away! Link, you break through yourself, or jump shot by a quick stop or break into the basket and make a foul. If the opponent assists in defense, pass the ball to the free teammates!" The tactic is very simple, nothing complicated.
The difficulty is how Link can beat this simple tactic well under the triple pressure of score, physical strength and psychology!
The simpler the tactics, the higher the requirements for the ball holder’s personal abilities!
Link didn't answer, relaxed throughout the whole process, and was hurrying to rest.
The electronic beep sounded and the pause ended. Cheers poured into Link's ears. He looked at the audience behind him. The people who cheered for him all longed to defend the home court.
The last attack, kill them!
Randolph and Conley served the bottom line in the backcourt, while Link stood beside Durant with his knees, without any intention of catching the ball.
But Durant didn't take it lightly, he pressed against Link, knowing that this guy would catch the ball sooner or later.
"What did you say before the game?" At this moment, Link suddenly spoke to Durant.
Durant did not respond. Even if this guy responded, he would respond in his heart and would not say it out. Durant during the Thunder period always left a taciturn image.
"I still remember it. You said you want to advance 4-0. You said you have to win regardless of whether there is an unbeaten record here. Haha, later, I will look at your regretful expression after scoring the goal!"
"Fuck!" Durant couldn't help but cursed this time!
Link is so crazy!
Seeing Durant reacting, Link was very happy. He looked up at the time, then ran out to prepare for the response!
Durant stayed around Link, but Link was not in a hurry and walked around Conley, and handed it over and successfully got the basketball!
The moment Link got the ball, the Grizzlies' entire offensive lineup was opened, and he had to play Durant alone at the last moment!
Many Grizzlies fans in the stands blindfolded their own eyes and really didn't dare to watch them! At such moments, people watching the game are nervous, let alone those who want to perform the offense!
Hollins himself found it incredible. It was hard for him to imagine that Link was just a sophomore player!
The numbers in the timer on the rebound were jumping wildly, and Link calmly moved the ball and approached outside the three-point line. With only 5 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, he suddenly accelerated!
The angry Durant decisively took action at the moment when Link started to speed. It was actually risky to do so, because it was easy to foul. In fact, this was also the reason why Link provoked Durant!
But it was so terrible that Durant stabbed the basketball cleanly this time and did not commit a foul!
Link lost his basketball, and Durant could steal it as long as he could get the basketball that was jumping towards the center line!
"Drop the ball! Durant's key defense! If you grab this ball, the Thunder still have time to get a three-pointer!" Hubby Brown felt that he was panicked and his heart was beating too fast!
Durant fell to the ground and pounced on the basketball, and Link also rushed down. But he knew that he could not fall directly to the ground. If that were the case, even if he kept the ball, he would have time to pass and shoot!
Link then stretched out his right hand in the air and held the basketball down before Durant who was falling to the ground, then quickly supported the ground with his left hand, and directly completed a 180° turn on Durant who was falling to the ground in a street dance posture!
Link used his arm to support his body, then grabbed the basketball with one hand with his other hand, and incredibly grabbed the ball back! While competing for the ball and the floor, he could also quickly get up!
When Link got up, there was not much time left, so he could only make one step and jump shot directly two steps outside the three-point line!
The moment the basketball shot, the electronic beep also sounded, and a red light appeared on the rebound! The Thunder players were already cheering. This ball was too difficult and Link could not make it!
However, Link never wastes the opportunity to shoot at an open spot! Even if he steps outside the three-point line, even if he just competes for the floor ball!
"Beep"
"brush!"
"Boom!" Nearly 20,000 fans in the Federal Express Arena stood up with their arms raised!
Link threw out the "spear" in his hand and made a bloody red on the rebound!
Durant sat on the ground, looking confused, and felt the wooden floor under his butt vibrate!
In!?Impossible! That guy just grabbed the floor ball, how could he shoot directly and make a shot!? Durant almost grabbed the ball to the midfield line, he almost forced Link to make a mistake, he almost succeeded, almost!
Durant looked up, but found that Link was just at the position where he had just completed the shot, kneeling on one knee, holding his chin with one hand, staring at himself who was panicked and still sitting on the ground.
He looked like a mature man, staring at a messed-up child!
Chapter completed!
