The next day, the scene of Link and Durant going to the orphanage and having fun with the children was reported by major media.
In the photo, Durant, Link and the children are all enjoying themselves. But only Link knew that the relationship between him and Durant was not as good as people thought.
Indeed, in the NBA, many enemies on the court are friends off the court.
Link also has many such friends, such as Kobe, such as George, such as Cousins.
But with Durant? Please, the two of them are already very restrained without tearing it open in front of the Nike staff.
However, the news that Link and Durant went to the orphanage was not very popular, and the fans were obviously more interested in their tit-for-tat appearance than the two happily looking at each other.
At 8 o'clock this evening, at Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Memphis Grizzlies. The two teams met again in the seven games of the Western Conference Finals last season, which undoubtedly made fans excited.
Not only the fans, Link and his teammates are also very excited. After all, they almost overturned the Thunder last season. Now that there is an opportunity to make up for regrets, the Grizzlies players will naturally not let it go.
In this wild atmosphere, even new players such as Iguodala and Nick Young were infected. They had no grievances with the Thunder, but now as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, they are extremely eager to start fighting as soon as possible.
Stevens also attaches great importance to this game. He not only wants to win tonight, but also prepares for the playoffs. If this year, the Grizzlies run into the Oklahoma City Thunder again, Stevens does not want the tragedy to repeat itself.
From the beginning of the regular season, Stevens intends to get a feel for the Thunder's play. Therefore, this game is equally important to him.
Although the Thunder lost James Harden before the start of the season, their strength still cannot be underestimated. After all, Kevin Martin, who replaced Harden, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Oklahoma City's current record of 6 wins and 2 losses is also very impressive. You know, Harden was traded after the preseason. In other words, the Thunder and the new players have no time to get in touch.
Because of this, the Thunder only lost two games at the beginning of the season. After the new players adapted to the Thunder's play style, the Thunder's record immediately rebounded. At present, the Thunder have won five games in a row.
Faced with such a tough opponent, Stevens naturally took the players to the Chesapeake Energy Arena early today to adapt to the venue.
Of all the players, Jimmy Butler is undoubtedly the hardest warm-up. Although Butler has not had any chance to play this season, he believes what Link said, "As long as you are prepared, opportunities will always appear."
Butler is very serious in warming up every game, whether he can play or not. In many teams, some players who are outside of the regular rotation usually do things when they warm up. Because they know that no matter how hard they work, they are probably in vain.
Therefore, it is often the case that a player is ordered to be in danger, and the result is a mess.
Stevens naturally saw Butler's efforts. He is also thinking about it, maybe it's time for Jimmy Butler to play and show himself. But all this depends on the situation of the game.
After the warm-up, Jimmy Butler went down in sweat. The spotlight is on Durant, Link and others. No one cares about an unknown person with a long head and wearing a No. 21 jersey.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to be ready and the game started immediately.
Link walked off the court, Stevens also began to win over the players to make the final deployment. In the playoffs last season, Link had to fight for more than 45 minutes per game to allow the Grizzlies to defend well while guaranteeing offense.
But this year, Link doesn't need to work so hard. Stevens directly handed the task of defending Durant to Iguodala. Since Iguodala, Link doesn't have to play against the opponent's top scorer.
On the defensive end, Link will face the "Swiss Army Knife" Sefrosa. Sefrosa is not a scorer, so Link's defensive pressure will not be too great. In this way, the Grizzlies will get more aggressive offensive firepower.
"Listen, I know, we just defeated the defending champion 48 hours ago! No, it's not a defeat, maybe the word slaughter is more appropriate! But don't think that you are stable, Oklahoma City Thunder, we can The key to not being able to rush out of the West! Today, everyone cheered me up! The game against the Thunder is, to some extent, even more important than the game against the Heat! So, do your best to fight! I know You have been waiting for today for a long time, now it’s time to act!"
Stevens greatly boosted the morale of the players. When the Grizzlies players played, everyone was murderous.
Of course, Oklahoma City fans will not make the Grizzlies too arrogant. Countless fans held up the plate in the stands, which read, "We are the Western champions." To remind the Grizzlies, the winner of last season was the Thunder!
But even so, the Grizzlies players are not stage fright. They know they were losers last season, so they are so eager to win now!
After the game began, the two teams immediately fell into a fight. In the opening game, Link proved the Grizzlies' determination to win with a dunk. It has been difficult for Sefrosa to limit Link anymore this season. From confrontation to speed to height, Link does not suffer.
But soon Durant made a mid-range shot on Iguodala ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Link succeeded in dunking, Durant naturally unwilling to fall behind.
After scoring the goal, Durant didn't forget to point to Link.
The opening of Durant and Link is almost the epitome of this game. In the next few minutes, the two teams played back and forth, and the scores rose alternately.
After the eighth minute of the first quarter, both teams made substitution adjustments.
Scott Brooks took the three outsides of Kevin Martin, Reggie Jackson and Eric Maynor, and at the same time replaced Perkins with Nick Collison, who played for the team during the Sonics. .
On the Grizzlies side, Stevens also entered the regular rotation. Vasquez replaced Conley, Tony Allen replaced Link, and Nick Young, who scored the highest 25 points in the previous game, replaced Iguodala.
On paper, the Grizzlies' second team seems to be stronger. A defender who was selected for the first defensive team and a guy who dared to make a three-pointer on James is enough to make the Grizzlies' rotation lineup quite luxurious.
Tony Allen is more than enough to defend Kevin Martin, coupled with Nick Young's firepower, Stevens believes that the Grizzlies can definitely use the rotation time to open the score!
If the strategy is successful, the second quarter of the game will be replaced by the main force crazy supplement. As long as the point difference can be kept at around 8 points, Stevens is confident that victory will come!
As a result, Reggie Jackson broke through Vasquez for the first goal after returning from a timeout.
Subsequently, Nick Young hit the iron outside the three-point line, and the ballistic was ridiculously crooked. It seems that Shaoxia's nerve knife failed to continue the feel of the previous game.
Stevens found that the momentum seemed a bit bad, and the game plan seemed to have deviated. But the Thunder launched a devastating offensive before Stevens adjusted.
