Link and Randolph's air relay goal was unexpected for the Thunder. The Grizzlies have always been a team with a simple style of play. They have always been labelled for their positional warfare and meat grinder-like defense.
Air relay? This seems to be the patent of the Clippers and Griffin. In the Grizzlies lineup, is there anyone who can jump?
Therefore, the Grizzlies' first goal was very subversive. They used the most dynamic way to break the Thunder's defense, which was enough to make all Thunder fans feel nervous.
"It seems that Link and Zach are eager to try today. I don't know if you still remember the crazy performance of Link and Randolph in January this year. At that time, they had already shown that they were the most dangerous strikers in the league. The strength of the Thunder. If Link and Zach can bring that state to the playoffs, the Thunder will be in serious trouble."
The playoffs have just begun the first round, and it becomes interesting. Durant was a little angry, but his defense against Link was very tight just now, but he still couldn't prevent that guy from scoring completely. But in the same way, Durant didn't think Link could stop him.
Every time the Grizzlies and the Thunder meet, Rudy Gay will explode with Durant. But now, Guy can't play. Although in the regular season, Link also played well against Durant. But to be honest, Durant's statistics are more gorgeous than Link's every time.
Just as Durant was thinking about how to deal with that difficult No. 0 forward, Tony Allen went right in front of Durant! Durant was a little surprised, Link didn't match up with himself?
"Don't look, kid, your opponent is me!" Tony Allen pressed Durant with all his strength. The Grizzlies' strategy is to use Tony Allen to fight the scoring king this year!
Hollins does not distrust Link's defensive ability, but if Link continues to confront Durant on the defensive end, it will inevitably spend a lot of energy, which will affect Link's offensive state.
Therefore, Hollins simply asked Tony Allen to smash Durant on the defensive end, so that Link can put more energy on offense.
Westbrook hit the ball to Durant, but Durant faced Tony Allen's close pressing and couldn't break through at all. In desperation, he returned the ball to Westbrook.
Westbrook has improved a lot this season, averaging the next assist and 4.6 rebounds per game. For many nights, his limelight even surpassed Durant. And this season, Westbrook's overall field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage have been greatly improved.
Link is not surprised by Westbrook's improvement. You give him a center who can "one card and eight", and he can even average a triple-double.
The rise of Westbrook makes the Thunder's offensive firepower extremely powerful. Westbrook can solve problems that Durant can't solve with breakthroughs.
Conley tried his best to block it, but there was no way, Westbrook's physical fitness was too abnormal. He slammed Conley to the basket, however, he bumped into the little Gasol who was defending the basket!
Westbrook didn't care so much, he was stunned to force a layup against the small Gasol of 2.16 meters. In this regard, the Thunder fans are not surprised, this is already the norm in Westbrook. A layup against a man is a routine operation for Westbrook. As for whether to enter...that's hard to say.
Gasol's offensive performance this season is average, averaging less than last season, only 11.7 points. You can say that Gasol's scoring skills have hardly improved, but no one will ignore his changes on the defensive end this season.
Whether it is self-confidence or judgment of defensive position, Gasol is even better. According to ESPN's postseason preview article, "The Grizzlies' inside team is comparable to the Lakers' championship twin towers."
Gasol's precise positioning allowed him to block Westbrook, and his tough style also made it difficult for Westbrook to move in the air.
As a result, Westbrook withstood Gasol's forced layup and ended up with an iron! Link shook his head. Westbrook seems to have been in the league since he entered the league, until 2019...
"The Thunder failed offensively, my God, they didn't break the Grizzlies defense! How strong are Durant and Westbrook's firepower? They averaged 49.6 points per game this season! The guy’s score accounted for almost half of the Thunder’s total score. However, in front of the Grizzlies’ defense, even the Gemini star played extremely hard!"
Hollins applauded with satisfaction. What he hopes most is that the team can find the game state through defense.
Most importantly, this time, Link and Randolph had little trouble in defense. Then on the offensive end, they can release their vitality to their heart's content!
Randolph grabbed the rebound himself and handed it to Conley. Durant had to leave Tony Allen and rushed towards Link. This continuous shift will also put tremendous pressure on Durant. Defensively and offensively, he faces the most threatening points, and there is no breathing time at all.
Link still only played a deterrent role this time. He helped the team open space outside the three-point line, and Randolph himself resolved the offense.
Randolph is in excellent condition today, after all, he has been preparing for this day for a long time. Randolph is omnipotent with back basket, face frame, hook and shooting.
Link remembered that in the original history, the Grizzlies' opponent in the first round was the Spurs, and in that round of the series, even Duncan was completely suppressed by Randolph.
Although among them, Duncan's injury factor is one reason. But I have to say that Randolph played really hard that year.
"Rookie No. 21" has nothing to do with Randolph, let alone Ibaka who is not yet at the peak?
Randolph took two steps back, and after reaching the basket, he easily turned and hooked, and then the basketball went in!
"Zach, make a low offense! He has scored two goals in a row. This guy does whatever he wants in the penalty zone. The Thunder can't let him do whatever he wants. Zach is the player who won the Western Conference Player of the Month this season. If the Thunder let him attack like this, he can really kill the game!"
Scott Brooks knows what Mike Brin said, but how to stop Randolph? There is no other way but double-teaming.
This time the Thunder's offense was finally completed, and Durant's mid-range jumper made Tony Allen far behind. But Brooks doesn't feel safe anymore. He knows very well that if there is no way to contain the Grizzlies offense, it is difficult to win against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies' defensive skills are there after all, and the Thunder will not score too high today. If you want to win, you must also lower the Grizzlies' score.
The fight between the two sides continued. This time, Conley's breakthrough attracted Ibaka's defense. As a result, Randolph was vacated at the middle distance. The bear in great condition made a steady shot and scored 6 points in a row!
Ibaka covered her head with her hands in annoyance, and the second-year Congolese were too immature in front of Randolph.
He glanced at Brooks helplessly, and Brooks made a few gestures at the players.
Must be double-teamed!
"Randov played very well today. He has used three different offensive methods to score Ibaka's head. Zach has been waiting to prove in the playoffs that he has waited a long time, so he will not give up easily. ."
Randolph's desire for victory has been revealed. This low-level killer has turned the Thunder's seemingly luxurious interior defensive lineup into a paper tiger.
Under the pressure of the Grizzlies' defense, the Thunder's offense failed again. This time, it was Ibaka who took the shot, and he seemed to be going to cause trouble for Randolph on the offensive end.
But unfortunately, Randolph's aggressive defense made Ibaka's jumper jump out of the box. On both ends of the offense and defense, Ibaka has no choice but to take Randolph!
It is said that the playoffs are the stage to create stars, and today, Randolph has undoubtedly greatly improved his position in the league. Nothing can test the quality of a player more than in the playoffs.
"Double-team, double-team!" Brooks couldn't help it. He gestured to the players to tell the players his instructions.
Durant curled his lips, only wishing Randolph and Link would not be on the same side. Otherwise, double-team defense is very dangerous.
But as the saying goes, what you are afraid of comes. Hollins has long thought about how to deal with the possibility of double-team defense, so today, Link and Randolph are on the same side when attacking!
In this way, if the Thunder want to double-team, they can only double-team the guy who defends Link~EbookFREE.me~ because he is the closest to Randolph. And once the player defending Link goes to double-team, Link will get a chance!
People say Hollins is a defensive player, a coach obsessed with defense. But in fact, he is not useless on the offensive end.
Randolph once again received a pass from Conley in the low post, and it seemed that the Big Black Bear had no intention of giving up. Seeing that Ibaka had taken two steps back, Durant gritted his teeth and doubled up!
However, Randolph's low support ability this season is not bad at all! When Durant doubled over, Randolph passed the ball to Link!
"Damn it!" Durant immediately turned around and jumped out of the three-point line. He felt like he was being played as a monkey!
When Link received the basketball, Durant was two steps away from him. This distance is enough for Link to complete his shot!
He decisively took off and shot the basketball in Durant's horrified expression!
Link's current three-point shooting percentage is not something he can let go.
"Three-pointer, hit! The Thunder's defense is in a dilemma. Link has done his job well outside the three-point line!"
"Yes, the Grizzlies used to lack a stable three-point output. But now, their three-pointers are extremely deadly!"
Kevin Harlan and Van Gundy both praised the Grizzlies' tactics. As soon as the game opened, the Grizzlies put the Thunder into a desperate situation.
"I advise you not to disturb him today, Kevin. Otherwise, the loss will be even greater." Link spread his hand at Durant, feeling really good for the opponent general.
The "despicable and shameless" villain pushes Thunder into a desperate situation, but whether Thunder can get out of the predicament like the decent ones in the movie, it depends on their accomplishments.
The "Gemini" of the Grizzlies seems to have overwhelmed the Thunder's two buddies.
