Link caught Durant, unless there was a final victory in this game, it would be enough to become the most exciting scene in this game, no doubt about it.

Durant himself was shocked by that ball. Link was able to catch the game, not just jumping high, but the key is that his light speed reaction is too perverted!

As we all know, this kind of shooting that uses throwing as a move is generally difficult to be taken, let alone being caught directly.

But if the defender can react in time before the basketball completely rises to the highest point, there is still a possibility of blocking.

Link is really terrifying here. His light speed reaction and powerful vertical bounce ability make Durant's ejection unable to escape the devil's claws!

Link's catch-up hit the Thunder fans' original confidence. They have been standing in the stands for several minutes, but they have not seen the goal.

Finally a scoring opportunity appeared, but was destroyed by Link in such an incredible way.

A smooth turn and a layup were made and a crazy catch. With just one attack and one defense, Link has proved that he is indeed qualified to appear in the Best First Team.

After that, the impatient Durant still did not perform well. He wanted to take revenge too much and defeat Link too much. But this mentality made him unable to make the most correct decision.

The Thunders could not score until the fourth minute of the first quarter, Westbrook's emergency stop zombie jump shot broke the scoring drought for the Thunder. In the stands, Thunder fans were finally able to sit down.

But now, no one will feel glad, and no one will feel that Link was slapped in the face.

The Grizzlies guarded for four minutes and the fans stood for four minutes. This is not something to be proud of for the Thunder.

Although the scoring drought was broken, the impatient Durant still could not score efficiently, and the Thunder began to gradually fall behind. After six minutes of the first quarter, Scott Brooks replaced Derek Fischer, who made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the last game.

Seeing the "Old Fish" appear, Thunder fans seemed to see a savior. But unfortunately, Fischer did not continue yesterday's magical performance. If a team really hopes to turn the situation on Fischer now, it would be better to surrender directly.

Fortunately, after Fisher lost his magical aura, Kevin Martin stood up and took on the scoring task that originally belonged to Durant. In the end, the Thunder were only 5 points behind 22-27 after the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Durant made only 2 of 7 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

On the other hand, Link not only contributed a wonderful turnaround and catch-up, but also had no problem with 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Judging from the first round of duel, Durant lost completely!

"Link has shown his strong strength as a first-team player. He has made great contributions to the Grizzlies on both sides of the offense and defense. The Thunder is now very passive, and Kevin Martin's performance can only make the Thunder survive for the time being. If the Thunder wants to make a comeback, it depends on whether Kevin Durant can perform."

During the break between the festival, Mike Brynn bluntly stated the key to the next game.

If Durant cannot stand up and compete with Link today, the Thunder will lose their home court!

For the Thunder, if they go to Memphis with a score of 1-3 behind, they will undoubtedly be in hell!

Therefore, Thunder must never give up easily.

Scott Brooks knows this better than Mike Bryn. Even if he fights hard today, he can't lose!

In the first section, Thunder is more fierce than ruthless, but less rational. Now, Brooks wants to solve this problem.

"I know you want to beat him, but the more anxious you are, the more likely you make mistakes! Calm down, I want you to calm down now, Kevin! You have to beat him slowly during the 48-minute game, you can't knock Link down directly! So, calm me down!"

Brooks sat in front of Durant, and he knew very well that the 35th in front of him could play to the extent that it would directly determine how far the Thunder could go.

Durant said nothing, just nodded silently. He also knew that he could not afford to lose today and could no longer act voluntarily.

Then Brooks looked at everyone again, "Be tough, it's too easy for you to let the Grizzlies attack the basket in the first quarter. This is a fucking man's game, you can't act like a girl!"

The break between the festivals was very short, and Brooks actually didn't make much adjustment. After all, Brooks was not a master of tactics, he was a "chicken soup" coach.

But sometimes, the psychological state of fans is indeed more effective than tactical changes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Link discovered that Durant's expression was no longer as fierce as when the game started.

Sure enough, are you coming?

Although he was five points behind, the cheers of Thunder fans did not get smaller. They were cheering Thunder players all the time, hoping that the situation could be reversed.

Link posted Durant again, but Durant did not ask for the ball irritably, but was trying to find opportunities.

Sure enough, this guy won't get so easily! Durant won't suffer a second time when he suffered a loss in the first quarter!

Durant finally reached the middle distance on the right, leaned against Link, ready to start the attack.

Westbrook hit the ground and sent the ball to KD's hand. Link held Durant's waist and prevented him from exerting force.

However, Durant did not exert any force at all. After feeling Link's defense, he directly chose to turn over and jump back!

This time, when Durant shot, all Link saw in his face was calm and confidence.

"Brush!" The crisp sound of a long-lost sound finally rang in Durant's ears, and he finally scored a goal on Link's head comfortably!

Durant did not squirt or celebrate without restraint, but just raised his fist gently.

Link could see that Durant had made a complete adjustment now.

Later, Randolph's cut layup was blocked by Ibaka's brutal block! The basketball was directly pressed on the rebound by Ibaka.

Not only did he complete the blocking, Randolph was knocked directly out of the bottom line by Ibaka.

The Thunder's defense is much tougher than just now. Not only are they not afraid of physical confrontation, but they are also very keen on physical confrontation.

Randolph was very annoyed. This was not the big black bear who was throwing a tantrum. Anyone who was knocked out would be emotional.

So, after getting up, Randolph swears at Ibaka. The smell of gunpowder on the scene began to become stronger.

The Thunder are now only 3 points away from tying the score, so this round of attack is crucial to them.

Durant did not take action randomly because of this critical round. The result was that he was caught by Link.

Now that I think of the trick I just caught, Durant's first reaction was not anger, but caution.

This change in mentality is enough to help Durant avoid many minefields!

This time, the Thunder shot the "Swiss Army Knife" Seifrosa. As a 3D player, his greatest use is naturally to shoot three-pointers besides defense.

However, under Iguodala's tight defense, Seversa's sight eventually deviated from the target.

Just when everyone regretted that the Thunder did not seize this opportunity to equalize the score, Ibaka got an offensive rebound at the basket!

Of course, this process was not easy. Ibaka directly and roughly knocked Randolph away, who was stuck in the position, and then took the rebound.

The most important thing is that the referee did not even claim to be a rebounding foul!

Now, can Randolph still bear it? He yelled at the referee to express his dissatisfaction. Ibaka took advantage of this time to pass the ball to Durant!

Durant made a 3-pointer at the beginning of the game and was seriously disturbed by Link.

This time, Durant raised his center of gravity, as if he was still trying to shoot. But just as Link was about to block, Durant suddenly turned into a dribble and broke through!

Fake action of worshiping Buddha!

Durant was very fast, and he threw away Link in two steps and headed straight for the basket.

Randolph jumped and blocked. Although he was a No. 4 player, his conditions were not as good as Durant from height to arm span.

Durant was not disturbed much. He stabilized his center of gravity in the air and threw the ball gently towards the basket!

At this time, the referee blew a whistle. At the same time, basketball entered the net, and Durant got a 2+1 chance!

"I, Cao, you didn't blow just now, and now I'm very decisive when I blow it! What the hell are you doing? Which move did you want to play last year?" Randolph was completely angry. He pressed step by step, challenging the referee's authority.

Ibaka applauded on the side with a flaming fire, and Randolph was even more angry.

In fact, the referee did not favor either side this year, it was just a matter of scale.

Perhaps in the opinion of this referee, confrontation when grabbing rebounds is inevitable. But fouls when the opponent attacks cannot be forgiven.

Seeing that the referee was about to give him a t, Link hurried up to smooth things over, asking Iguodala to pull Landov apart, and then spoke a few nice words to the referee, and then the referee gave up.

Randolph shook his hand unwillingly, while Durant stood on the free throw line to prepare to equalize the score.

Now, the balance of victory seemed to tilt towards the thunder again.

Link sighed, and the Thunder suddenly increased the range of movement, which really made it difficult for a while. Now it's not just Randolph, everyone seems to have encountered a bottleneck. With team attacks, they can't compete with Durant who has calmed down at all.

It seems that the moment of stars vs. stars must be staged in advance.

"brush!"

While thinking, Durant made a free throw to tie the score.

Link clapped hard to make sure that his teammates were all focused on him.
Chapter completed!
