During the period when the thunder was rampant, the Grizzlies still did not stop their progress.

After Link washed away Madison Square Garden, he led the team to defeat the Bobcats and Lakers one after another. Although he lost to the Clippers in the last game, the Grizzlies' 51 wins and 5 losses still poses a huge threat to the Bulls' 72 win record.

After the Grizzlies beat the Bobcats, the Lakers and the Clippers, they finally met the Thunder who had won three consecutive games at the intersection of fate.

This final regular season showdown between the Thunder and the Grizzlies also became the final preview of the Western Conference Finals in people's minds.

Durant is naturally full of confidence, not only because he performed well in the past three games, but also because the Grizzlies lost to the Clippers who were defeated by the Thunder in the last game.

The Clippers were in excellent form in these two games, but the Thunder won and the Grizzlies failed to survive, which definitely made Durant more confident.

On the surface, the Thunder are in better shape now than the Grizzlies. This game at the Federal Express Arena seems quite dangerous for the Grizzlies.

Before the game, Durant expressed his determination more than once.

"In the last game, Link won by fighting the finals. He couldn't have been so lucky every time."

"This season, the total score between the Thunder and the Grizzlies is 2-1. We are still in the lead and we still have the advantage."

"If the Grizzlies can't reach the Western Conference Finals, this may be the last time we met this season. So, I won't treat this game casually. We are the first team to lose at the FedEx Arena this season, and I don't mind doing it again."

When Durant faced the Grizzlies and Link, he seemed to have changed his own. He was usually silent but was full of hostility in front of the camera these two days.

Although it was only 25 days since the last fight between the two sides, Durant could not wait.

25 days may not be enough for a couple in another place to miss each other too much. 25 days cannot allow a wanderer from another country to nurture a homesickness.

But in 25 days, Durant was reluctant to hold Link tightly in his arms and beat him up.

However, until half an hour before the start of this game, people still felt something was wrong.

Finally, Hubby Brown reminded everyone, "I don't know if you have noticed it. This time, Link seems very quiet. He did not have a verbal battle with Durant, nor did he refute Durant's trash words. I don't know what's wrong with him, I hope he is preparing for the game seriously."

Link doesn't have time to care about Durant? He has been completely immersed in his 50% healthy ankles these two days.

Since getting upgraded, Link suddenly felt that the attack became more and more fun.

The Grizzlies' training these two days is in vain for Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Iguodala and others.

Because Link somehow was very keen to find someone to fight alone.

As the boss of the team, Link was not able to reject him directly, so he had to bite the bullet and go on.

The person who fought with Link alone, without exception, even the pure defensive player Tony Allen was defeated.

No one knew what kind of stubbornness Link was suddenly wrong. Only Link himself knew that the progress he had made was more obvious than he thought! Even Tony Allen could not stop his continuous change of direction!

"I said, after today's game, you won't torture us anymore, right?" Before the game began, Iguodala complained without expectation beside Link.

Before important games, the star of the player turns a blind eye to his opponent and is obsessed with abuse of his teammates. What's going on!

"Hehe, how can that work? Durant can only play one game with me, and you can accompany me for the whole season. From now on, I will ask you to practice one-on-one." Link responded to Iguodala with a smile. Although his face was full of introduction, Iguodala was panicked.

"All right, you'd better spend all your energy on Durant. I know you want to find a one-on-one single in us, but Durant's physical condition is something we can't simulate. Even if you want to simulate and practice before playing Durant in the future, you have to find Tobias and Harris."

"Okay, Andre, at least tonight, Durant will be responsible for your work. Focus on the game, Durant said he wants us to look good."

Link smiled and patted Iguodala on the shoulder, then stepped into the court.

Logically speaking, the purpose of Link's last sentence should be to make his teammates feel twelve points and not relax his vigilance.

But in Iguodala's opinion, why did Link relax?

Relaxation, this is the biggest feature of Link these two days. Iguodala still remembers that when he was about to meet Durant, Link began to be excited several days in advance.

But this time, Link seemed to be unable to get excited.

Iguodala turned her head and didn't think about it any more.

Either Link doesn't value the outcome of this game, or...

It is Link who has 100% confidence to destroy Durant.

Before the game started, Durant gritted his teeth and frowned, with an expression that someone else owed him millions.

Link was very relaxed, as if he was coming to the wild court for entertainment.

When you take a game seriously and your opponent seems to be playing house, you will definitely be very popular.

Durant is like this now. Looking at Link's indifferent expression, he was so angry that he would come! After the game begins, Durant wants to see how long Link can stay tight!

The game kicked off with Gasol Jr.'s successful ball game. All the Grizzlies fans in the Federal Express Arena stood up, adding a bit of gunpowder to the game.

Conley did not get entangled with Westbrook. Although he is the All-Star player this year, he is very clear that he is not the protagonist today.

In the first round, Conley hit the ball to Link.

Tony Allen frowned and stood up, waiting for Link's performance.

In the past two days of single-handed fight, Tony Allen was tortured by Link to death, but also discovered Link's changes in breaking style.

He knew that Link was not trying to fight with his teammates for fun, but to adapt to his new style.

He didn't know when Link found that more efficient breakthrough style, and he couldn't even believe that players of Link's level could go further.

The only thing that Teacher Tony can be sure of is that Durant is in trouble on the defensive end today.

Link received a basketball confrontation with Durant from outside the three-point line on the right. Durant lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms. This was not the first time he faced Link. He knew what Link would do and how to deal with it.

But when Link started dribbling today, Durant felt something was wrong. That guy Link's breakthrough posture was different from before!

In the past, Link liked to lower the center of gravity as much as possible, and dribble quickly with his left and right hands to confuse the opponent. Then he suddenly accelerated when he was unprepared!

But today, Link dribbled the ball straight and pulled out his posture, dribbled the ball with his right hand, changed direction in front of his body, and stretched his right foot and crossed his steps.

As soon as Durant followed, Link's center of gravity suddenly sank. He suddenly beat the basketball with his left hand in an extremely narrow space, completing the second consecutive change of direction!

At that moment, Durant only felt Link flash suddenly, as if his whole body had become thinner in an instant, passing by himself. Durant had no time to react. He was like a puppet, letting Link pass through like lightning, and when he turned around, he could keep up with his flying figure.

Now, it is entirely up to him to be happy whether Link makes a layup or a dunk.

"Link... just passed through it!?" Even Hubby Brown did not fully understand what had just happened. He only saw Link shaking through Durant's long arm in a moment, and then drove straight in, using a one-handed buckle to open up the situation in Ibaka and Perkins' desperate eyes.

In the astonished eyes of everyone in the audience, Tony Allen sat back on the bench with a smile, without being surprised.

Now he can be sure that that boy Link has made progress again!

Of course, Link is not invincible. Tony Allen could see that Link's continuous change was a bit slow, as if his ankle had a nail. But it still took Durant or other opponents familiar with Link to adapt to his current breakthrough style.

And this period of time, it was enough for Link to kill them all to the ground!

After they adapt to Link's current breakthrough style and can defend effectively, God knows whether Link will evolve to the next stage?

Tony Allen suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He was glad that he and Link were on the same side!

Tony Allen once asked Kobe and other superstars to admit his defense, but if he was asked to choose someone who was least willing to defend, it would definitely be Link!

On the court, Link smiled and raised his right fist, ending his first attack with a chic style. His weird stride and unparalleled balance of his hands cruelly and ruthlessly destroyed Durant's confidence.
Chapter completed!
