: 233: More than a scorer

90 to 91, the Thunder led by 1 point in the last three minutes. Kevin Durant slammed his fist after scoring a goal. The taciturn tall man used his actions and expressions to express his emotions.
Westbrook kept applauding Durant, but he still couldn't hide his embarrassment that he could not score after playing four quarters.
0 out of 11. This data can be said to be very Westbrook.
And Durant has scored 28 points so far, 8 of 15 and nearly 60% shooting!
Link scored a full 10 points less than Durant, but compared to Durant, with 9 assists. So from the data point of view, it is difficult to say who won and who lost.
But soon, the battle between the two will come to an end.
"James, you played in the last three minutes. I need you to calmly handle every attack." Scott Brooks chose to replace Westbrook in the last three minutes, which was also helpless.
Westbrook went 0 for 11, and Harden hit 5 for 11 and scored 20 points. Who should the head coach use at the last minute does not seem to be a difficult decision.
Westbrook didn't say much, dropped his head and sat on the bench. His performance today is here, there really is no capital required to play time.
On the Grizzlies side, Hollins is still the same lineup, Link, Tony Allen, Gay and the Black and White Bears all play, this is the lineup for the Grizzlies to end the game.
"In the last three minutes, the Thunder replaced Westbrook. I want to say that this may be a very correct decision. Now, the Thunder have both Harden and Durant to score points at the same time, and their firepower will be Cause huge trouble for the Grizzlies."
Durant looked up at the score after coming on the court, and the Grizzlies were not so easily defeated. But now Westbrook won't mess up again, Durant is confident to win the game!
Of course, there is one thing he is particularly excited about now-Brooks finally let him defend Link!
Due to Harden's limited defensive ability, Brooks asked Harden to defend Tony Allen. And Durant, naturally, just right, returned to Link!
In the last three minutes, Durant was eager to put an end to all this!
The timeout ended, the Grizzlies sent a baseline ball, and Link held the ball for halftime as usual. Durant immediately came forward, he couldn't wait!
"Now, Russell won't disturb us." Durant finally spoke, which shows how excited he is.
"Westbrook will be very sad to hear you say that." Link responded, and then he gave the ball to Randolph.
Link's thinking is very clear, and he will not affect his thinking because of other people's provocations. He knows how to irritate others, so he rarely gets irritated.
After giving the ball to Randolph, Link immediately cut to the basket. But Durant still stayed around him, not letting him catch the ball.
However, Link's cut is only to attract defense, Randolph's real pass goal is Guy!
"Rudy Gay received the basketball, and Sefrossa stayed true to him. Gay took a jumper!"
The opportunity is here, but it is a pity that Guy is really not good at shooting today.
This shot is already Guy's 21st shot. Because Link switched to the number one position, Guy got a lot of shots today. His shot ratio is even higher than Durant!
However, the hit rate is less than 40%. Gay's CIC options are sometimes really unpredictable.
This time, Guy hit the iron again. He hates it himself, but Sefrossa's defense is inseparable against Gay.
Hollins covered his head. In the last game, Guy scored 14 points efficiently and showed a willingness to be his deputy. But today, everything is back to its original shape.
"Rudy Gay missed a shot. The Thunder's chance... No, Randolph is actively fighting for offensive rebounds!" Hubby Brown suddenly changed his words in half, and the Grizzlies never did at critical moments. Will give up easily!
Randolph and Ibaka grabbed a piece. Although Randolph could not grab the rebound directly, he still fired up the basketball again. Neither side grabbed the rebound!
After the basketball fell again, Link rushed to grab the rebounds for the first time! In the air, Link was hit hard by Ibaka and Durant. But he still stabilized the center of gravity and steadily protected the rebounds!
"Another offensive rebound, the Grizzlies got a second offensive opportunity. This is their characteristic, and they are as active as ever in their offensive rebounds!"
"Damn it!" Durant was furious. He was robbed of offensive rebounds when he was clearly guarded. This is undoubtedly one of the most irritating things on the basketball court.
Link took the ball to the three-point line again, and his current data has become 18 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds. If Link's versatility was not obvious enough last season, then this year, even if you are just a new fan who only looks at statistics, you can see Link's versatility.
Link knows that the Thunder is really moving, and it is too risky to continue to let Gay cast. So Link waved, he decided to come by himself!
Randolph arrived to cover, but Link didn't go to the side with cover, just a fake pick and roll!
Link's speed was not enough for him to completely throw Durant off to the basket, so Link ran towards the bottom line. Then before Durant rushed over, he single-handedly made a throw.
This is another "atypical" offense, and Link's action actually looks like throwing the ball at random. But his good hand feeling and consciousness have allowed him to frequently hit this kind of ball that doesn't look like a shot or hits.
The basketball rubbed into the net, and Link scored his 20th point!
"Go ahead again! Link and Durant sparked when they met! An offensive rebound and a beautiful goal, Link stood up bravely, and he let the Grizzlies climb back from the cliff!"
It's still useful to play with Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen. Now Link is used to playing under high pressure defense.
In the next round, Durant discovered that Link had also returned to him. He no longer defends the first position, but returns to the third position! Harden left it to Tony Allen to deal with it.
This is Hollins' helpless move, because today Tony Allen and Guy are not effective in defending Durant, so Link can only try.
Link just got Durant on the offensive end, now it's up to the defense.
However, Durant is now full of anger, without Westbrook's "binding", he suddenly stopped after breaking through, and Link thought Durant was going to shoot.
As everyone knows, Durant has turned around, and Link has been left clean!
Durant moved to the basket and made an easy layup. The Thunder overtook again, Durant 30 points!
"It's troublesome!" Link wiped his sweat with his collar and teased Westbrook for the whole game. Now he still has to face Durant's big trouble.
In the next few rounds, the Thunder and Grizzlies played offense and defense, but neither Link nor Durant missed.
Link made a three-pointer but was sentenced to step on the line, adding two more points. Durant sat down and hit Link, back singles, which was Durant's new skill.
So far, Link has 22 points and Durant has scored 10 and 32 points! The Thunder still leads by 1 point!
With 30 seconds left in the game, Durant knows very well that as long as you hold on to these 30 seconds, everything is over!
Coach Hollins called a timeout, which was the last timeout in the Grizzlies' hands. Hollins' tactic was to allow Link to take advantage of the cover for singles. This critical moment of attack was not handed over to Randolph and Guy, but to Link.
This shows that something in the Grizzlies is quietly changing.
"Kevin, in the last 30 seconds, you just need to defend the ball, and we won! I know you want to beat Link, this is the best chance!" On the other side, Brooks also inspired Durant.
As long as he wins today's game, even if Link wins 0 in 11 against Westbrook, it will not help!
Link had long guessed that this situation would happen in the game against the Thunder, so when he appeared in the last 30 seconds, he was not nervous.
Durant calmly pressed the center of gravity. Today Link scored 22 points, which is high enough for Durant. He won't allow, this guy makes another key goal!
"Link has passed halftime with the ball, let's see how the Grizzlies will execute their final attack!"
Link dribbles the ball in place, waiting for time to drain. He doesn't want to leave too much time for the Thunder, he is confident of this offense!
When there are 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, Link beckons, and the black and white bears double screens!
Hollins' tactic is to let Link get rid of Durant with a cover. As long as he can get rid of Durant, Link will definitely end the game!
But this time Durant squeezed hard through the screen, and he just defended Link. He wanted to force Link to stop, but found that Link's confrontation ability this season was completely different from last season!
Link leaned on Durant and broke through to the basket!
"Don't even think about it!" Durant yelled ~EbookFREE.me~ and then followed when Link jumped up, ready to block!
"Will the Oklahoma City Thunder succeed!?" Hubie Brown felt his heartbeat speed up. This time offense and defense may be the essence of this game!
In the air, Link was completely blocked. Durant is in front and Ibaka is behind. Both are tall and long-arm blockers.
That's right, Ibaka. With Ibaka behind him, Link is much more at ease.
Indeed, Link can play Westbrook solo, and he can just throw a ball on Durant's head and hit a key ball.
But from start to finish, Link was more than just a scorer!
Big black bear, it's you!
"It's not a layup, it's a pass! Link broke through and sent the ball to Zach Randolph! Randolph was holding the ball from beyond the three-point line, catching and shooting!"
Link got stronger this summer and his offense with the ball improved. And Randolph? The Big Black Bear deliberately practiced his three-pointers!
With no defense at all, Randolph made his shots calmly, unbiased, and hollowed into the net!
"The key assist is also Link's 10th assist in this game! With 22 points and 10 assists, the Grizzlies have just played the second game in the new NBA season. Link has scored a double-double!"
Randolph's goal put the Grizzlies ahead of the Thunder by 2 points in the last 8 seconds! This means that the Thunder must return a 3 point to win the game!
Durant looked at Link's data and sighed secretly. Even in the most stressful moments, Link can always make the most correct decision.
With 22 points and 10 assists, there were only 2 turnovers. This is Link, versatile and steady, and is the most terrifying part of him.
Now, all the pressure fell on Durant's shoulders.
