Oklahoma is in a tough battle, and they never expected their trip to Memphis today would be so bumpy.

The game has entered the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, and the Thunder is still 9 points behind. Durant and Westbrook's outstanding offense has prevented the Thunder from being thrown away by the Grizzlies. But in the same way, the Grizzlies have not given the Thunder any chance to overtake the score.

Since Link scored that buzzer-beating ball in the first quarter, the Grizzlies have maintained the lead until now. James Harden has almost disappeared after meeting Link. He cannot defend on the court and cannot create scoring opportunities for Westbrook and Durant.

Therefore, the Thunder could only rely on the Gemini's personal offense to support it.

At this time, when Westbrook successfully scored with a stiff and urgent stop jump shot, the Grizzlies suspended the game.

Lionel Hollins was calm and calm. Even if Westbrook scored, he still had a 7-point advantage. As a team that is good at defense, Hollins believed that his team could defend until the end. He had defended the whole game, but could not defend the last few minutes?

The Thunder's offense was basically supported by Durant and Westbrook, but the two guys were exhausted. Their efficiency began to decline and they looked sweaty.

At this time, if the Thunder still wants to seize the score, they must send a third defense besides Durant and Westbrook. There is no doubt that this person will be Harden.

So Hollins looked at Link and hooked his fingers at him. Link stood up quickly. Today he had fought with Harden for the whole game and had always had an advantage. James Harden has only scored 8 points until now, but has taken 12 shots. In the Thunder team, Harden's shots are second only to Westbrook and Durant.

After three quarters of hard work, Link has scored 17 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. The most important thing is that Link has only missed one goal so far, and his efficiency is very high. It is really not an exaggeration to say that Link beat Harden.

And as Chris Webber predicted, Link is only one assist away from a double-double today. As the first game of an official Grizzlies player, Link is likely to create a career milestone.

Although Harden has not performed well so far, the Thunder have no other choice. Although Ibaka and Jeff Green can also score points, they are still a bit of a bad idea as the main offensive point.

"Link, after I play this time, I need you to play until the end of the game. James Harden will definitely play, so he will leave it to you." Hollins didn't talk nonsense with Link because he knew Link knew what he meant. Although Link joined the team halfway, Hollins never worried about Link's running-in with the team.

He has played very well in his system from the beginning. He memorized every tactic and could accurately place his position on the court.

Link nodded and licked his lips. At the last moment of the game, he would not let any accidents happen. Now he is still two assists away to win a double-double. It is fake to say that Link doesn't want to get a double-double.

After all, after signing a 2 million contract with the Grizzlies, he has been closely watched by the media. If he can play double-double data, no matter whether those people are abusive of themselves or not, they have to shut up!

Therefore, Link was very happy that he could play in the last moment. Of course, he would not deliberately try to score double-double data. Instead, he should try his best to get the last two assists or four rebounds in normal games.

The suspension ended, and O.j. Mayo ended in shame. At first, people thought that Link would only pose a threat to the third position. But now, Mayo found that he had begun to be replaced by Link.

What reasons does the coach have to not use a player who is more offensively efficient than himself and has better defense?

As soon as Link came on the court, he saw James Harden take off his training suit. The two sides occasionally looked at each other, which was an awkward look.

Link smiled at Harden and waved his hand, while Harden immediately avoided his eyes. Link believed that the bearded man might never go to a nightclub to have a party before the match against him.

Speaking of which, I seemed to have been to the nightclub for a long time yesterday

"The game started again, and the Oklahoma City Thunder was still 7 points behind. James Harden once again took the lead, hoping that he could play his role as the sixth man. In the first three quarters of today, Harden lost himself completely. But we found that Link also appeared. It seems that Harden will not be too relaxed today."

Weber smiled jokingly. For some reason, watching Link abuse Harden has become one of his bad tastes. The unsuccessful draft pick defeated one of the high-ranking rookies who had been in the past two years, as exciting as a TV series.

When Harden faced Link again, he no longer had the arrogance he had yesterday. His eyes were dull, as if Link was the only one of the Tanhua Show last year.

"Get up on your spirits, the game is not over yet? Didn't you say that no one can stop the Thunder? Am I a human?"

Link did not let Harden go, and he continued to torture Harden's nerves with his own words.

Harden ignored it. On the surface, he seemed very calm, but in fact he was panicked. He kept staring at Link, thinking that the ball must not fall into the hands of this No. 0.

Unfortunately, Mike Conley was just as deliberately opposing Harden, and handed the ball to Link in the first half.

"Damn it!" Harden opened his arms and took two steps back, afraid that he would not be able to catch up with Link.

Link called for cover, and Randolph immediately took it up without hesitation. This may be the only undraft in the league this year who is qualified to call his teammates to cover him.

Ibaka was still very afraid of Link. At the end of the first quarter, Link was still impressed by his buzzer-beating layup. No matter what he said, he had to use a successful defense to regain his face.

Harden was delayed by Randolph without any suspense, and Ibaka immediately retreated and returned to guard the basket.

When Link saw this situation, the Thunder really gave him a chance. It was better to obey his orders than respect. Link stared at the basket, but passed the ball behind him.

Big brother Randolph was waiting behind him for Link to pass the ball. At first, he saw Link not looking back, and was wondering if that guy would see him.

Who knew that basketball was really sent over. Ibaka lost sight of one thing and went to watch Link, but no one was watching the big black bear.

Randolph shot immediately after receiving the basketball, and the mid-range jump shot was not a problem for him. Facing Randolph, who was two or three times larger than him, Harden was too lazy to even interfere with the shooting movements.

Randolph scored easily, and the score difference was widened to 9 points again. FedEx is full of joy. After defeating the defending champion, they will likely defeat another team ranked in the top four in the West today!

"The ninth time this is Link's ninth assist in this game. He did not look back and accurately judged the position of Zach Randolph. Link knew the Grizzlies' system well, and players like this will be popular everywhere they go. That's why, he can get a 2 million contract. His salary is higher than some first-round picks, and it's not unreasonable!"

After saying this, Weber was stunned. Players like Link will be popular everywhere they go, so were the Houston Rockets crazy at the beginning?

Link adjusted his breathing and he had only one assist left in his first double-double in his career. A month ago, he was wondering if he had a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA. But now, he is almost getting a double-double in the NBA.

No matter how exaggerated this is, Link will not let the opportunity slip away from his fingertips.

The Grizzlies' defense is as hard as ever, and the more they are at the last moment of the game, the tighter they are. The Thunder's ranking in the West can basically be said to be at ease. Only if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be able to enter the top five in the West.

For Grizzlies, they don’t even know whether to have a vacation early in the summer or fight in the playoffs, so their desire to win is stronger.

Westbrook was ready to attack by himself as soon as he passed half, but Conley calmly stretched out his hand and let the impatient Westbrook lose control of the basketball.

Fortunately, Seifrosa actively picked up the basketball so that the Thunder did not miss the offensive opportunity. Westbrook's offense had just failed, so Swiss defender Seifrosa passed the ball to Durant. At the critical moment, he trusted the restrained No. 35.

Durant tried several breakthroughs, but was stopped by Guy. It has to be said that Guy was the best player in the Grizzlies today. If he hadn't played 55 with Durant, the Grizzlies would have been destroyed long ago.

Durant had no results in the offense and had to pass the ball to Harden. Harden became nervous as soon as he got the ball, because he was suppressed by Link throughout the game today, and he had lost the confidence to defeat Link.

"Come on, you'll score two points before you'll score in double digits today." Link continued to spit out trash words at Harden, not letting this guy's tortured nerve get a chance to relax at all.

Everyone's eyes fell on Harden, and everyone hoped that he would win this round with the undraft.

As a result, Harden did not attack, but returned the ball to Durant, and he was cowardly!

"Damn it! Stop the blame!" When Durant received the ball, he had only 5 seconds left before the end of the attack time of 24 seconds. He had no way to get rid of Guy, so he could only shoot immediately after one step.

Guy blocked very hard, but fortunately, Durant's shot still made a magical hit. Although this goal was scored, every Thunder player's heartbeat was accelerating. After all, it was impossible for them to rely on such magical goals to stabilize the situation every round, right?

"James Harden still didn't score, he didn't even try to attack. Now that Durant and Westbrook are under increasing pressure, he should stand up!"

Harden also knew that he should stand up, but his strength today is not allowed.

Two rounds later, the score difference between the two teams was still in the range of 7 points and 9 points. Link did not get any scoring data, but also did not give Harden a chance to score.

As the game time decreased a little, Scott Brooks became more and more nervous. Before coming to Memphis, he had thought about many possible situations, but he had never thought that the Thunder would lose.

At the last 1 minute and 03 seconds of the game, the Thunder, which was still 7 points behind, ushered in the most critical defensive round. This time, if their defense cannot be successful, the game will basically be gone.

Indeed, some people may say that McGrady even performed a miracle of 13 points in 35 seconds. What can I not catch up with just 9 points?

But if it is so easy to get at 35 seconds and 13 minutes, it cannot be called a miracle.

Conley continued to perform the offense according to tactics, and he handed the ball to Guy who was out of the three-point line. Guy had scored 25 points at this time, making him the second highest scorer for the Grizzlies. Randolph, the highest scorer, today this guy scored 31 points. Many of them were eaten by the cakes sent by Link.

Guy made several three-threat moves with the ball, but found that Durant was unmoved. Guy, who wanted to attack impulsively, calmed down again when he thought about the importance of this attack.

He saw Link cutting into the inside, so he hit the ground and sent the opportunity to Link!

Although Link scored not more than 20 today, he had left a deep impression on the Thunder players. As soon as he received the ball, the Thunder's defense immediately shrank. Link took the ball and drove it to the basket. But at the last moment, he used a back pass to return the ball to Guy!

Guy was ready to watch the show, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come back to his hands. Link was like a yellow-skinned magician, always able to send the ball out in the most unexpected time.

"In, go in!" Link prayed in his heart that if he scored this goal, he would get his first double-double in his career!

Guy stepped on the three-point line when shooting, which is the lowest-priced shooting position. When he comes in, he can get closer to the basket. When he takes a step back, he can get one more point.

But now Gay can't care about this. His moves were extremely smooth without hesitation!

After seeing Guy's shooting, Link turned around in advance and gritted his teeth secretly. Guy's shooting moves were very smooth and there was no defense, so there should be no problem. Now, those damn media should shut up!

At the same time, Jeff Austin, who was watching this game, laughed. From this perspective, Link will be worth more than 2 million this summer. This is why he only signed with the Grizzlies for one year.

"brush."

Link, who turned around in advance, heard the sound of the Nets rolling and the cheers of the fans. Then, he saw Guy raise his arms to celebrate the goal.
Chapter completed!
