At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder trailed by 11 points.
For the Thunder, this is undoubtedly a very unfavorable situation. But on the other hand, the Thunder is lucky.
At least, they still have three full quarters to narrow the point difference. Spreading the 11-point gap into three quarters of the game does not seem so scary.
Durant thinks the same way. When he was hit by Link in the first quarter, he also hoped that he could turn the tide in the next three quarters.
He told himself that everything is not over yet, and he still has a chance to redefine the game.
Ample time always makes people have all kinds of fantasy.
I will get better results in the next test. I will definitely not mess up my next date. I will definitely work harder tomorrow.
However, when time changes from ample to tight, the situation often becomes: I am still preparing for the exam, only one day away. There is only an hour left before the date, but I can't find a pair of clean pants.
Durant is now also facing such a dilemma. When the game reached the fifth minute of the fourth quarter and the Thunder were still 12 points behind, all the good illusions in Durant's heart were shattered.
At this time, he can no longer comfort himself too much, and he can no longer pin his hopes in the next section.
If the Thunder could equalize today, they would have done it long ago. Since the previous three quarters could not be done, how can you expect the Thunder to turn the tide in the last five minutes?
Tight time is the easiest to disillusionment.
"Kevin, Kevin!"
Scott Brooks' two shouts brought Durant back to the hot Federal Express Arena.
In front of Durant's eyes was the coach with a frown. Next to him are teammates panting.
Oklahoma City was beaten very embarrassed today. Since playing against the Grizzlies this season, the Thunder have never been so embarrassed.
Their offense became fragmented under the disciplined defense of the Grizzlies, and Durant basically can only fall into a single-handed situation.
And what about the Grizzlies offense? Under Link's leadership, he played a more blooming game.
When the Thunder found that Durant could not contain Link in one-on-one today, Brooks began to arrange double-teams and assist defense.
So the rest of the Grizzlies got and seized the opportunity.
Link, with only 5 minutes left before the end of the game, has already scored a double-double of 27 points and 11 assists, with only one turnover in the middle.
This is enough to show how smooth the Grizzlies’ offense is today. The statistics of the basketball game are the most intuitive to understand the situation on the scene.
Where's Durant? He scored 29 points, but his shooting percentage was just over 40%. And besides himself, he didn't lead anyone else on the offensive end.
In the past three games, Durant's performance is exaggerated. He killed James' Heat and Paul's Clippers, but Durant's momentum stopped abruptly in front of Link's Grizzlies.
This game that was originally Durant's revenge on Link has completely changed. The Thunder did not complete their revenge, but proved that the Grizzlies are indeed the only team in the league.
"Kevin!"
Scott Brooks yelled again, and Durant then cast aside the mess of thoughts.
He nodded to his coach, indicating that he was listening.
"I know the situation is difficult, but this is not the end of the world! We can't give up first. Then we look for more opportunities outside the three-point line! Kevin, calm down, we still have time!"
Brooks is also not willing to give up the game, although it is difficult to catch up with the Grizzlies in this situation. But facing the imaginary enemy in the Western Conference Finals, Brooks naturally wanted to push the team's limits out.
Now if you lose easily to the Grizzlies, can you guarantee that you can win when you meet them in the playoffs?
Durant nodded silently, and then the electronic buzzer interrupted his conversation with Scott Brooks.
Durant knows everything, but the basketball court is not a reasonable place.
Durant knew that he couldn't easily admit defeat, but after the whole game, he was overwhelmed by Link.
Link's performance today made Durant very frustrated. He is not sure whether he can turn the tide.
A player is not afraid of others doubting himself, but he is afraid of doubting himself.
The game restarted. Except for the black and white bears, the Grizzlies still start all three outside lines.
On the Thunder side, Brooks used first-year center Stephen Adams to replace Perkins, who performed poorly today.
When Link saw Adams on the court for the first time today, he almost didn't recognize him.
I can’t believe that this white guy with short hair will look so wild in the future.
Link took the lead to look at Durant after he played, but Durant avoided his gaze.
Link knew at the time that the game was almost stable! Durant, he's scared!
The final five minutes of the final battle, no, maybe the game will be over in less than five minutes, it all depends on whether the Thunder can make it to the end.
Westbrook is not too hot this time, he knows that his current task is to deliver ammunition to Durant who is beyond the three-point line.
The Thunder’s first offense was a very successful tactic. Westbrook broke through the screen and Durant waited for the opportunity to ambush to the right corner to catch the ball and shoot.
The Thunder's tactics were implemented, but Brooks was disappointed when Durant shot.
When Durant shoots, his mind is full of mess, not focused at all.
He wondered why Link became so tough today, why he couldn't get close to the score after struggling for so long, but didn't think about how to make the ball.
So Durant's three-pointer hit the edge of the basket under the interference of Link and failed to make a hit!
At that moment, Brooks covered his forehead. He knew that this game was hard to have any hope.
Brooks can see that Link has completely destroyed Durant psychologically today!
"Kevin's key shot was still missed. Today, his efficiency is unexpectedly low! The Grizzlies counterattacked and Link crossed the defense with the ball! He attacked the frame from the side and dodged Stephen Adams's block with a drawbar motion. Blocked, scored easily! Beautiful, Adams may not know how Link escaped the defense. The point difference has become 14 points, what the Thunder must do!"
Link has 29 points and 11 assists. Durant is now behind Link in his proud personal scoring.
A sense of frustration invaded Durant's whole body, and this sense of frustration had no effect except making Durant's shooting more and more inaccurate.
After 18 seconds, Durant's frustration made him miss the second three-pointer in a row.
This time, it's rare for Westbrook to be a true point guard. After commanding his teammates to move, he found Durant with a very superb pass.
But Durant wasted this great opportunity, and it was the last chance for the Thunder.
Durant's second shot formed a long rebound, which means that as long as you seize the opportunity, you can easily fight back.
Conley caught the rebound and quickly advanced from the middle. At the same time, Iguodala and Link started to follow up from left to right.
Finally, the ball was gently tossed to the right, and Link completed the air cooperation tacitly.
Link has 31 points and 11 assists, even if Durant has missed two consecutive shots, even if the gap between the Thunder and the Grizzlies is like from Boston to Los Angeles.
But Link still didn't stop, he worked tirelessly to destroy Durant's nerves. He wants to make the final battle of both sides in the regular season deep-rooted in Durant's heart!
The Thunder did win the Grizzlies twice, and the two teams were really worried in the last game. It seems that the Thunder that has caused the Grizzlies the most trouble this season.
But after today, Link will convince people that the Thunder are not the only nemesis of the Grizzlies.
One minute later, when Durant missed a jumper from outside the three-point line for the third consecutive time, the game also announced in advance that it had entered garbage time.
When Durant was replaced, his scoring was frozen at 29 points and his shooting percentage was only 38%.
And Link, with 31 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, walked proudly back to the bench.
ESPN gave Link and Durant a split screen shot, and the opposite emotions were all written on their faces.
"Today Link completely destroyed Durant. KD missed three consecutive three-pointers at critical moments. He had the opportunity to change everything, but he did not grasp that opportunity. On the other hand, Link, from the first round of the game, he It showed an excellent offensive state. Even when it was just over ten points ahead, it did not relax. Maybe Durant and the Thunder fans don’t want to admit it, but I have to say. Today, the game is not anxious at all. This time , Link defeated KD!"
Hubby Brown’s commentary caused countless Thunder fans to turn off the TV angrily.
Just pity Durant, he can't turn off the TV for a hundred. He must also endure the torment of countdown like years in the Federal Express Arena.
After the electronic buzzer sounded, the score was fixed at 114 to 102. With the tireless efforts of the Thunder with trash time, the score difference has become less ugly.
Durant, who shot less than 40%, stood up~EbookFREE.me~ and wanted to leave the court as soon as possible.
But as soon as he got up, he was greeted "enthusiastically" by Link and held his right hand.
"You guys played well today, but you were out of luck, man." Link gave a smirk. He knew Durant wanted to leave, so he wouldn't let it!
Durant was in front of so many reporters, so he couldn't just shake his face and leave. Faced with Link who took the initiative to show, he had to embrace Link abruptly.
"Durant and Link hugged friendly after the game, did they settle their grievances?"
Hubie Brown didn't know the conversation between the two after they embraced, otherwise, he would definitely not think that it was a "friendly" hug.
When Durant and Link hugged, Link put his mouth in Durant's ear and said something softly.
After the hug, Durant lowered his head and left. Link stayed in place and accepted interviews with reporters.
As soon as Durant walked into the player tunnel, he angrily kicked the trash can next to him.
"As you wish, this last matchup in the regular season, you must be very unforgettable. Now we are tied again, Kevin."
What Link said to Durant's ears just now, probably will linger in his mind for several days.
