Reggie Jackson, as the first-round rookie last season, has never been well-known. As a rotation end player who averages only 11.1 minutes per game, unless he is a loyal fan of the Thunder, most people will not know this guy.

This season, Reggie Jackson's average playing data has increased to 14.2 minutes, which is still very rare. But after a year of hard work, Reggie Jackson has been able to show some performances on the basketball court.

At this time, Reggie Jackson misplaced and hit Nick Young. Although Nick Young was ten centimeters taller than Reggie Jackson, it was useless. Previously, Jackson had beaten Nick Young 2+1, which made Reggie extremely confident.

So, now facing Nick Young in a bad state today, Jackson is very comfortable in possession of the ball.

"Reggie Jackson started dribbling alternately outside the three-point line. This was the last attack of the Thunder in the first quarter. Let's see if Reggie can score the ball!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Reggie Jackson suddenly accelerated to break through! After Nick Young reacted, Reggie Jackson had surpassed him half a position.

"Oh." Link sighed. If Reggie Jackson had higher abilities in NBA2K than Nick Yang, maybe Nick Yang wouldn't be like this today.

After breaking through Nick Young, Reggie Jackson entered the basket with his amazing speed and then made a throw shot.

After the basketball entered the net, the red light on the rebound also lit up. At the end of the first quarter, Reggie Jackson's buzzer-beating throw helped the Oklahoma City Thunder lead the Grizzlies 30-20 at home, 10 points!

The moment the red light came on, Reggie Jackson whistled to the sky! For him, this was undoubtedly a great night! Without him, there would be no Thunder's current 10-point lead!

"Reggie Jackson's performance is incredible. In a limited time, Reggie Jackson scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots! 8 points in a single quarter, which may be the result that coach Scott Brooks did not expect. A throw, a three-pointer and a 2+1 offense. Reggie Jackson is unmatched in rotation time today! Tony Allen is tired of entanglement with Kevin Martin, so Jackson seizes the opportunity to output frantically. The Grizzlies may not have thought that they will lose in the rotation lineup!"

The live commentator looked at the data table while explaining. In the first quarter, Link scored 6 points, while Durant and Ibaka each scored 8 points. Before the rotation time, the score difference between the two teams was not widened, and it can be said that they were evenly matched.

But Reggie Jackson's 8 points in a single quarter directly shocked the Grizzlies. Nick Young's offense is not reliable today, but he was caught by Reggie Jackson on the defensive end and beaten up.

With Reggie Jackson's outstanding performance, the Thunder widened the score gap to double digits in one fell swoop. Now, the Memphis Grizzlies have become quite passive!

"Damn it, I ignored that boy!" After the first quarter, Stevens cursed to himself.

Reggie Jackson, Stevens admitted that he had never thought that this guy would cause trouble for the Grizzlies. But now Harden is away from Texas, Kevin Martin doesn't need to take the ball, so the only one who can hold the ball on the entire Thunder bench is Reggie Jackson.

In this case, Reggie Jackson could naturally play his part.

Now he is 10 points behind in the first quarter, and it is too late to say anything. Stevens summoned all the players and told them to fill in the gap at the beginning of the second quarter!

"If we continue to drag on, the Oklahoma City Thunder will play smoother and smoother! So, after the second quarter starts, I will make the defense well! In the first quarter, we let three opponents score 8 points in a single quarter, which is unqualified! Be tough and stop the opponent from scoring at all costs!"

Stevens emphasized defense and replaced it all. After the start of the second quarter, Stevens was still not idle. While commanding the game, he was thinking, who should defend Reggie Jackson later?

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies changed back to the entire lineup. On the Thunder, Kevin Martin replaced Seifrosa.

Seifrosa is a fake. Kevin Martin plays much more time than Seifrosa in every game.

In addition, the Thunder is in full swing now, Scott Brooks naturally hopes to use the most fierce firepower to seize the victory.

"Stabilize guys! We failed to win a victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena last season's playoffs. Today, we have to turn this article over!" Link shouted as the Thunder players gradually approached.

The team is in crisis and he is about to start fighting like a leader.

As soon as the Thunder attacked, everyone encountered the rough close press of the Grizzlies players. Not to mention the outside, even Ibaka was entangled by Randolph. The Grizzlies must fight for an inch of land!

Seeing that Conley posted so tightly, Westbrook chose to break through the Grizzlies' defense by breaking through.

Gasol Jr. immediately left Perkins behind to defend himself at this time. Facing this "European Castle", Westbrook did not stop, but instead directly faced Gasol Jr. and was about to lay up!

Durant covered his forehead and this guy was having fun again!

"Westbrook made a layup against Gasol! This ball was really too difficult, the basketball failed to hit! Randolph's rebounding, the Grizzlies got the opportunity to narrow the gap to single digits!"

Conley pushed forward slowly, deliberately raising Westbrook's appetite. Westbrook was impatient. He missed the ball just now, so he couldn't grab the ball back immediately and attacked again.

So, facing Conley, Westbrook suddenly rushed forward and stole it!

This gambling steal is OK to deal with some soft-legged shrimps, but the calm Conley obviously doesn't take this set.

The Grizzlies No. 11 drove the ball coldly to the back, changed hands behind their backs, and easily avoided Westbrook's sprint.

Westbrook "actively" lost his position, Conley did not hesitate and made a breakthrough immediately!

Mike Conley averaged 14 points this season, a career high. Although 14 points is not a particularly exaggerated number, it is definitely a deterrent number. Therefore, seeing Conley rushing towards him, the Thunder's defense had to make adjustments.

Perkins hurriedly made up for defense at the basket, and Ibaka was ready to rush back to attack the opponent's defender at any time.

But just as everyone's attention was on Conley, the calm point guard shook his wrist and passed the ball to the bottom corner on the right!

Only then did people realize that Link had reached the right bottom corner at some point and set a distance of two steps away from Kevin Martin!

"Conley accurately found his teammate in the open space. Will Link's shooting be equally accurate?"

After getting the basketball, Link flew away a shot and fired Martin, who was only interested in filling the gap.

In Martin's desperate gaze, Link flew past him and then made a jump shot from the middle distance.

Basketball is hollow into the net, and Link rarely misses this kind of ball. The difference in points has become single digits. The Grizzlies' defense and attack have made the Thunder's hope of opening the score in one breath.

Durant walked to Martin in anger and whispered a few words. Even if Link couldn't hear it, he knew what Durant and Martin said. He firmly believed that the next attack, the person who defended himself should become Durant.

The Thunder still have a chance to widen the gap to double digits. This time, Westbrook did not do anything randomly, but handed the ball to Ibaka, who scored eight points in the first quarter when Durant was pressed close.

Ibaka's play against Randolph last season was simply relaxed and enjoyable, but this season, when Randolph had recovered from health and was beaten in the first quarter, Ibaka's offense suddenly became difficult. ::

"Come on bastard! Do you think you are very hard? Let you see, Uncle Zach is amazing!" Randolph pushed Ibaka while squirting trash words in his ear.

Ibaka was upset and finally chose to turn over and jump. But with Randolph's quick response, the Congo forward's shot failed to hit! This season, Randolph's vitality is very different from last season!

When the big black bear gets angry, it is difficult for any number four to gain advantage.

"The Thunder's offense failed again! The Grizzlies began to strengthen their defense and strengthen their defense from the second quarter! I think Coach Stevens must not want to see the 10-point gap hanging on his head!"

Randolph used his enthusiasm to defend the next goal. Although the Thunder did not score, Durant became excited.

Next, he finally has to face Link!

After Link passed the half and received the basketball, he found that the obstacles he encountered were indeed much greater. But he had been fighting with Durant for two years, and Link was already accustomed to Durant's exaggerated defensive area.

Link waved his hand calmly and made several gestures like the point guard. Seeing this, Gasol immediately brought up the cover, and Link used the cover to break through!

Durant immediately bypassed Gasol and stood by Link. Ibaka also shrank to the basket, waiting for Link to be "in arrested".

The Thunder attaches great importance to Link's defense. After all, last season, it was this No. 0 that almost led the Grizzlies to overturn the Thunder.

Link broke into the penalty area and seemed to be surrounded by two long-arm monsters Durant and Ibaka in the next second. At this moment, Link threw the ball into the air casually!

Everyone looked up and followed the flight path of the basketball. Iguodala suddenly burst out, and Kevin Martin beside him could only watch with his mouth wide open.

Link didn't want to play alone by himself, but wanted to create opportunities for Iguodala! That's why he broke through without hesitation to attract attention.

And Iguodala just needs to deal with Martin. As it turns out, Iguodala has no big problem in dealing with Martin.

As the lowest-key third player in the league but the most athletic beast, Iguodala easily received a high throw pass from Link and then smashed him into the basket!

Iguodala's all-connect dunk once made the Chesapeake Energy Arena silent.

Once upon a time, the Memphis could also rage the baskets over Oklahoma City?

After landing, Iguodala was excitedly hammering his chest. In the first quarter, the main players of the Grizzlies and the main players of the Thunder were not apart. The gap was widened mainly because of Reggie Jackson's 8 points.

Therefore, in terms of the main lineup, the Grizzlies are not afraid of the Thunder. Therefore, when the main players are on the court, the Grizzlies will soon be able to close the score!

After Iguodala's goal, the Thunder's rushing attack failed again. After the Grizzlies came, Link used a marching three-pointer to break through the Thunder's defense line and narrowed the gap to 3 points!

This is the trick he has practiced hard this summer, and now he can use it skillfully in actual combat.

The Thunder were beaten 7-0 as soon as they came in the second quarter. Their plan to take away the game was smashed by Link.

It was not until this time that the main player of the Thunder came back to his senses. So in the next few minutes, the Thunder began to score. But it was too late to recover now. The Thunder had no capital to open up the score, and the two teams continued to lead alternately.

Finally, the second quarter game was also time to rotate. Scott Brooks knew that this was the Thunder's opportunity! As long as Reggie Jackson could continue his form in the first quarter game, everything would be back on track.

If the main force plays no matter how big it is, then I will use the substitute to win you!

On the Grizzlies' bench, Link told Stevens while wiping his sweat, "I can play for a while and let me play with the second team! Anyway, this is how we dragged into the tiebreak last season!"

However, Stevens shook his head, "I need you to maintain your strength, and then at some point in the second half, lead the team to a wave of offensive attacks that are enough to kill the game. As for the rotation time now."

Stevens turned his head and looked at the young player who was sitting at the end of the bench but still had sharp eyes.
Chapter completed!
