The game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies was expected to be intense.

Last season, the two sides played until tiebreaker and scored a victory, so just 48 minutes was not enough for the two teams to play.

The fans were very satisfied with the result of the half-game, after all, they came for a fierce battle.

But the Oklahoma City Thunder will definitely be very, very disappointed in the result of the half-game.

In the first quarter, they ended with a 10-point advantage. But what about now? They are very passive!

"We have to be glad that we are not too far behind now. We all cheered up. The Grizzlies were 10 points behind in the first quarter and did not give up. As a result, let's see what they did. So, we can't give up! It's just 4 points, but this can't be overwhelming us!"

In the Thunder dressing room, Scott Brooks held on every minute and every second to speak.

On the other side, Stevens waited for the players to rest for a few minutes before speaking.

Sometimes, the pressure on players comes not only from the outside world, but also from the inside.

The head coach cannot control the media's comments, but they can control their own way of doing things. Stevens gave the players a rest for a while before starting to arrange tactics, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the players' sense of oppression.

"Okay, let me tell you. In the second quarter, everyone played very well. At the beginning, the main lineup's chasing and offensive was very fast, which is what I want to see. But when the rotation time, everyone performed better! Especially you, Jimmy. You completely disrupted the rhythm of the Thunder and did a good job! Be prepared, I will send you on the field in the second half."

In the second quarter, Durant played a whole quarter, which consumed a lot. So next, his offensive efficiency is likely to decline. While ensuring defense, we need to score continuously! Link, in the second half of the game, devote all his energy to the offensive end. The game is over, and it is time to open the score."

Link nodded slightly, and then Stevens arranged many offensive tactics around Link.

He has been used to this moment since Stevens came to power and Link was officially drawn as the core.

The offensive burden was carried on his shoulders, but Link didn't feel heavy at all, but instead felt relaxed.

Because now he doesn’t have to worry too much, just think about how to score. Link looked at his teammates, and they could help him with all the other teammates!

The extremely long halftime break for the fans finally ended, the sexy cheerleader girl left the court, and 10 strong men replaced them. But seeing these 10 strong men, the fans were more excited than watching the cheerleader.

"In the second half, will the two sides continue to fight? We can see that both sides have changed into the lineup again. On the Thunder, Durant was still present after playing 12 minutes in the second quarter. Originally, Coach Brooks' strategy was to wait for Durant to break the score before he could rest. However, the score difference has not been widened, and Durant has been left on the court. Just after the 12 minutes of the game, he appeared early in the second half. I hope that KD can withstand it."

Although Durant had just come out of the locker room, he was still sweating all over. The second quarter just now really made him very tired.

Forget it if you are physically tired, Durant is even more tired. He finally got rid of Tony Allen, but as soon as he looked up in the third quarter, he saw Iguodala.

Durant sighed, "I can't live forever. How many defensive players did the Grizzlies have? It's so perverted!

Durant showed his tired side during the first attack in the third quarter.

This time, Westbrook's breakthrough pass was very good. But Durant missed the basketball because he was half a step slower and failed to receive it, resulting in Westbrook's pass being sent directly to the Grizzlies' bench.

This mistake is not worth mentioning, and many people blame Westbrook. But in fact, Durant himself knew very well that if his steps were as fast as when he was full of energy, the ball might have been caught just now.

In the first half, Durant's physical energy was consumed more than everyone imagined.

The Thunder's attack was a mess, while the Grizzlies were smooth and orderly.

This time, Link did not catch the ball, and he planned to score without the ball.

Durant followed Link immediately and observed whether anyone would pass the ball to Link at any time.

Just as Durant was fully focused, Link suddenly ran back and ran to the basket!

Durant's reaction was quite fast, but no matter how fast he was, he was still half a position behind Link. It seems that the impact of physical fitness on Durant is not only reflected on the offensive end.

After receiving Conley's pass, Link easily made a layup. A textbook-like superb off-ball attack made Oklahoma City's owner lose face.

"The 6-point score is missing. What the Thunder must do, they can't wait any longer!" The on-site commentator was very anxious, and the Thunder knew that they had to fight back. But there were some things that could not be done just by wanting to do.

This time, Westbrook stood up and hit the basket with his chest. Since Durant couldn't score, Westbrook naturally wouldn't be polite.

However, a very terrifying fact is that in all the games against the Grizzlies, Westbrook performed well in only a handful of games.

Facing the Grizzlies, Westbrook either has ugly data or is decent but has too inefficient.

There is a reason for this. The Grizzlies' defensive level can just control players like Westbrook.

This time was no exception. Westbrook's iron head hit Randolph's soft belly.

Under the interference of the "behemoth", Westbrook made a layup and threw it completely. This guy has a strong ability to confront, but he can't stand everyone.

Westbrook missed a layup, and the physically energetic Link personally took the defensive rebound and then pushed forward quickly!

Durant opened his arms and stood in front of Link, as if he had no intention of letting Link live a good life in the half.

Facing Durant's moving "wall", Link was not afraid of danger, but aimed at the opportunity and slapped the basketball on the ground!

Durant only felt a cool breeze coming from his crotch, "Swoosh!", and the basketball passed between his legs and went straight to Conley's hand!

"Passing the ball through the crotch! Haha, Link's first hand still hit the ball very quickly! Even if Durant blocks it, Link's ball can be found to pass it over! You are so confident. With such confident leader, the Memphis Grizzlies will only become more and more courageous in the battle!"

Durant still feels a chill between his legs until now, and the sweat on his forehead turns into cold sweat.

That guy Link is so hateful!

Conley received a pass from Link, but did not rush to attack. Instead, after Link ran up, he gave the ball back.

After receiving the basketball, Link sprinted with all his strength, and Durant found that it was difficult for him to keep up with the No. 0!

Once upon a time, Link was famous for his poor athletic ability. At that time, people joked that he was a rookie, but he was like a player who was almost 40 years old.

But today, Durant was surprised to find that it was difficult for him to bite Link!

Durant's poor physical strength is one reason. But even so, Link's improvement in athletic ability still surprised Durant.

That guy really became very strong!

Without Durant's entanglement, Link entered the penalty area and shot high and shot the board. Sergii Ibaka arrived in time and jumped up at a height that seemed to be out of gravity. If this was an ordinary layup, Ibaka would probably be able to catch it directly!

But Link's high throwing and hitting the board is almost impossible to be blocked. Unless Link fails, this move will be unsolvable.

Ibaka felt that his fingertips were about to touch the basketball, but it was just a little bit worse.

That's right, what Link wants is that little bit worse.

The basketball rubbed the rebound and refracted into the net. Link scored 4 points in a row, and the Grizzlies widened the gap to 8 points!

The decline of the Oklahoma City Thunder has no intention of stopping it!

"Durant was hit by Link twice in a row, and he looked very tired. Maybe Coach Brooks should let Kevin go down and rest for a while?"

Brooks also wanted to replace Durant as the commentator said, but he didn't dare! If Durant is gone in the current situation, what should the Thunder's attack do?

The only thing Durant can do is persist!

But the physically energetic Link would not let Durant breathe.

After a Thunder attack, Durant chose to break through. Iguodala deliberately let Durant walk to the basket. Just as Durant made a layup, Gasol rushed over in time. Facing the siege of Gasol and Iguodala, the tired three-game scoring king missed a layup!

It was not until this time that Durant realized that he had just entered Iguodala's defensive trap!

The Thunder made continuous irons, and once the Grizzlies started attacking, the first thing they looked for was Link!

This time, Link used three-threat steps outside the three-point line to test Durant's center of gravity. Seeing that Durant was more afraid of his breakthrough, Link suddenly pulled out a jump shot from the three-point line!

Durant hurriedly reached out to cover Link's eyes. After all, he had the advantage of height and wingspan. However, Link's shooting movements were not deformed, so even if it was disturbed, there was no big problem!

"brush!"

As soon as Durant landed, he heard the sound of the Nets rolling from behind. He hurriedly looked at the score, and the Thunder was 11 points behind! The Grizzlies successfully hit a three-pointer, and Link gave the Thunder a heart-killing blow!

"I actually made a jump shot in front of Kevin Durant! Link has scored 7 points in a row! At the beginning of the third quarter, Link led the Grizzlies to a small offensive wave! Link was very powerful in the third quarter, and I don't know if this is related to his full rest in the second quarter. In short, the Thunder are now 11 points behind, but they may not be able to turn the tide like the Grizzlies!"

After scoring the goal, Link rushed to Durant in front of him to wipe his neck. After so long, he can finally kill the enemy quickly!

Even Stevens didn't expect that the offense created by Link would come so early. Sure enough, if Link's rest and playing time were allocated properly, the kid's level would be quite terrifying!

The young coach sat back on the bench leisurely and leisurely. There was nothing to command next. Just watch Link perform well.
Chapter completed!
