After successfully tied the score, Durant became even more calm.

He tasted the sweetness and found that it didn't seem that difficult to defeat Link.

On the Grizzlies, they felt a little lost in rhythm. Faced with the Thunder's sudden increase in defensive intensity and Durant's attack after returning to his soul, the Grizzlies' response was a bit off guard.

Link knew very well that if others attacked now, the efficiency would not be higher than Durant. Basketball is indeed a team sport, but personal ability is also very important.

If the entire game is played against the team, it will at most be the next Denver Nuggets.

In people's impression, the Spurs are a team that plays well in team attacks, but Parker, Ginobili, Duncan and Leonard have one who has mediocre personal abilities?

They have to come when the final moment is final.

The team attacks when the team attacks, but when it is time to take over the game, the stars must also take over the game.

This is what a superstar does!

Link did not continue to watch this time, and he took the ball very decisively. Now, only he can stand up to resist Durant's attack.

Everyone held their breath, and Link and Durant's one-on-one single fight was classic every time!

Durant was not in a hurry to fight, but kept a distance from Link. Anyway, he had the advantage of height and wingspan, so he was not afraid that Link would suddenly pull up and shoot.

Link had a lot of experience in facing Durant, so he naturally wouldn't beat him. He called Randolph to come out to cover and then broke through immediately!

Randolph's cover quality was very high. Durant wanted to squeeze through, but Randolph was very firm and did not allow Durant to take any advantage. In this way, Link and Durant were a little distance away.

Ibaka was in a little trouble. I didn't know whether to stay in front of Randolph or go in and chase Link.

Just as the blocking king was hesitating, Link, who was dribbling, suddenly received the ball, as if he really wanted to pass the ball to Randolph's mid-range shot!

Ibaka then decided to stay in front of Randolph and wait for an opportunity to steal. Durant slowed down and was ready to reach out and interfere with the pass!

But little did he know that Link's next move was not a pass, but a layup!

On a very realistic fake fax, Ibaka and Durant were both fooled by Link!

The Grizzlies finally scored a goal in the second quarter, and Link stood up in time to interrupt the Thunder's momentum.

Durant gritted his teeth, it was Link again! Every time he wanted to take the initiative, this guy would always appear!

But Durant is not upset now. As Brooks said, he has enough time to slowly kill Link!

He didn't believe that Link could keep up with all his attacks!

Durant responded quickly. He directly jumped after receiving the basketball from the middle distance on the right, without caring about Link's defense at all.

In fact, Durant's sudden jump shot is very effective. Because, in the same way, Link could not predict Durant's shooting opportunity without warning.

Durant has completely recovered his scoring rhythm, and Mike Brynn even predicted, "In this game, KD will definitely win high scores. At least, it is above 35 points!"

With more than 35 points, it is not easy to get this score in the playoffs. However, with Durant, all this seems to be within reach.

The Thunder tied the score again, but they didn't give in. If they retreated, they would be a 1-3 behind in the score!

Just as Thunder fans were still fantasizing about how Durant would overtake the score, Link scored another goal!

This time, Link continued to play pick-and-roll with Randolph. But unlike just now, Ibaka chose to switch defenses directly!

When it comes to small and big, Link has the advantage of speed. However, Ibaka's movement is not slow either, he is a sportsman.

So, Link chose to take a step back and jump shot after a swipe in the middle distance.

Ibaka didn't expect Link to retreat, so his reaction speed was half a beat slower. In the end, Link easily scored a goal on Ibaka's head, and the score was further two points widened.

"Both sides can't help each other's number one attack point. This game has completely become a private duel between Link and Durant!"

Mike Bryn shook his head, the gods fought, and the others could no longer get involved.

In the second quarter, Link and Durant really occupied most of the scenes. They fought back and forth, and they were very lively.

On this side, Durant made a back-skip on the baseline. In the past, Link successfully relied on his own enthusiasm to make a tip-in.

The Thunder just relied on Durant's three-pointer to overtake the score. After that, Link caused Ibaka to have a 2+1, and immediately recovered the 2-point difference.

The two arch-enemy enemies have presented a wonderful offensive battle for the fans, and their personal scores are also soaring.

After the half-time game, Mike Brynn was stunned when he picked up the data sheet.

"Kevin Durant scored 18 points in the half and Link scored 23 points in the half. They completely dominated the first half!"

When Link and Durant both turned on the scoring mode, no one knew who would be the winner. Of course, no one knew how many points these two guys could get.

In the second half, the battle between the two sides continued. Both teams increased the defensive intensity to a very rough level, and the offensive efficiency of others was terrible.

Westbrook's iron head impact did not make his score rise, but instead made his shooting percentage continue to decline.

The Black and White Bears encountered a rough attack in the inside, and it became very difficult for them to score.

In the end, only Link and Durant could provide sufficiently stable firepower at this intensity.

So, Mike Bryn and all the fans witnessed the continuous increase in scores of both sides and the data became more and more exaggerated.

When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies still only led the Thunder by 4 points and failed to widen the gap.

Durant and Link both scored more than 40!

Mike Brin predicted that Durant's score would be above 35 points at the beginning, but it turned out that he was too conservative.

After Durant's turnaround jump shot just now, his personal score has reached 42 points!

Link, who was just selected for the Best First Team today, has improved his score to 46 points!

46 points, this is also the highest score in a single game so far in Link’s career!

"In this classic two-man showdown, Link and Kevin Durant refused to give in to each other and both scored shocking data! Link has scored a career high of 46 points, but the battle between the two sides continues, and no one knows what kind of data they can get in the end!"

Link and Durant both tried their best, and neither of them wanted to fall here. For this round of the series, this game is the most important turning point in the entire series!

Durant was very surprised that Link could really score with him. Link was also a little surprised. Durant was so strong today that he scored 46 points, but he had not completely defeated him.

At this time, the Grizzlies stopped the game and prepared to arrange the last three minutes of attack. In fact, there was no tactic. To put it bluntly, it was just to study how to create singles opportunities for Link as much as possible.

Mike Bryn took this time to pick up Link's data sheet and study it carefully.

"46 points in a single game are this season's playoffs. Link scored more than 40 in a single game. And, you may not believe it. 46 points is the highest score O'Neal has ever won in the playoffs. As long as Link scores even a free throw, he will break O'Neal's scoring record in the playoffs. Now, do you know what the concept of 46 points in the playoffs is, right?"

Mike Brynn has always found it incredible that Link scored the highest single game in the regular season, which was only 45 points. Logically speaking, his single game score in the playoffs is unlikely to exceed the number 45.

After all, the regular season is very long, with as many as 82 matches in nearly half a year. Once a certain game feels out, it is actually not too difficult to get 40 or 50. Even Jennings, who has been criticized now, performed a miracle of 55 points in a single game back then.

But in the playoffs, the strong defensive teams are completely different. Both sides fight almost every goal, and the opponent will try every way to defend at every ball, especially the star, who is subject to double the defensive pressure. Moreover, the study of each other in the playoffs is more detailed than in the regular season. Therefore, it is really difficult to get 40+ points in the playoffs.

Many players struggle to play in the regular season performance when facing high-intensity defense in the playoffs. However, Link instead showed a more explosive scoring performance than in the regular season.

There are three minutes left in the game, and Link has already scored 46 points. Maybe this guy can get closer to 50 points today...

Mike Bryn swallowed. In the 21st century, players who can score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs are rare, and they can't just get it.

As I said just now, a super insider with a historical level like O'Neal, the highest score in the playoffs was only 46 points.

Link and Durant, who can survive the last three minutes?
