: Five hundred and sixty three: Completely liberated

In the first quarter, the two teams scored very low, but the scene was not dull. Because on the defensive end, both sides played very passionately.
The fierce collisions, powerful confrontations, and the scenes of people turning their backs on horseback all made the fans excited.
The only embarrassment is that the goal was not seen after a long time of activity.
The Thunder did not score the first goal until Durant returned from the timeout in the fifth minute. And Link did not finally have a scoring record until the sixth minute of the first quarter.
Both sides shot very low in the first quarter, and the score was horribly low.
After the first 12 minutes of the game, Mike Brin couldn't help taking off his glasses and rubbing them. He thought he was dim-eyed.
, The Grizzlies lead by 3 points, this is the transcript that both sides handed over in the first quarter!
"This score is really unexpected. The defenses of the two teams are too tight, which makes it impossible for both sides to score effectively. This game seems to show me the Memphis Grizzlies two or three years ago. And Oklahoma Ma Lei, it may be the first time that he has been so defensive."
Mike Brin finished speaking and took a look at the game data on the tablet.
The Grizzlies made 7 of 23 in the first quarter, shooting only 30.4%. The Thunder is even more exaggerated. The first quarter of the game only scored 5 sports games, shooting only 21.7%.
Both teams intend to use defense to contain each other, which instead leads to no advantage. Now, the thinking of the two teams to open the score is very clear, who can take the lead in finding a way to score under tight defense, who can get the lead!
As for scoring methods, the Grizzlies have been prepared.
"Andre, don't you rush to play in the second quarter. Tony, Durant will leave it to you. Don't let him relax, forcing him to strain his nerves all the time! Link, now you are free. Seize the opportunity. After the half-time match, I don’t want to see the Thunder press so tight."
During the break, Stevens's arrangement is not complicated. All those complicated parts were arranged before the game started.
You know, the Grizzlies have two more rest games than the Thunder! During this time, enough Grizzlies have thoroughly studied Thunder.
Link nodded, then looked at the big screen at the scene.
The first quarter was really bad enough, only 4 points were recorded. Mainly entangled with Durant, and it is difficult to catch the ball.
But without letting Durant find an offensive feel, Link's own low score is worth it.
Next, I must be able to make up the score!
Just thinking about it, the electronic buzzer sounded through the audience, and the second quarter of the game was about to begin!
The fans are still very enthusiastic and did not lose confidence because of the crazy iron strikes between the two teams in the first quarter.
Durant frowned and walked up. It is not difficult to see that Durant is also very dissatisfied with the current results.
In the second quarter, the Thunder took the lead and Durant ran to the front court excitedly, ready to continue to fight Link.
Then he found that Tony Allen crossed in front of him.
"Just kidding, are you going to avoid me like this?" Durant turned his head and yelled at Link. He didn't expect the Grizzlies to suddenly change to defend.
"Escape? Brat, you'd better not run away later." Tony Allen became strict, and Durant's words really annoyed him.
It seemed that I couldn't prevent him. That being the case, let's touch it!
As a result, Durant suffered a tighter defense than the first quarter. Even if he hasn't held the ball yet, Durant is already considering how to open up the ball.
Tony Allen's defense is purer than Link!
As for Link, he followed Sefolosa to defend the Thunder's perimeter player with the least scoring threat. In this way, Link won't have to put too much effort and energy on the defensive end.
The war of attrition in the first quarter is over, and now Link is about to start scoring!
Durant has begun to feel a bit exhausted physically and mentally. Although the second quarter has just started, the Grizzlies' tight defense seems to be invisible. Link finished changing Tony Allen, Tony Allen finished, and Iguodala, and Butler...
Durant is helpless, but he must also take responsibility. So Durant ran outside the three-point line and received the pass.
At the same time, Perkins screened in place, Durant bypassed the screen, hit a step behind the free throw line, and then stopped the jumper!
Just when Durant thought the goal would definitely be scored, he felt that the basketball was stabbed from behind!
"It feels like deja vu..." Durant tried hard to reach the basketball that was shot flying, only to see Tony Allen jump out from behind him and jumped and took the lead in grabbing the basketball in his hands.
After bypassing the screen, Tony Allen succeeded again!
"Nice blocking, Tony Allen's defense is absolutely perfect! But can the Grizzlies score this time?"
After Tony Allen fell, he handed the ball to Conley for the first time.
Conley held the ball for more than halftime, but was pressed by Westbrook. Although Westbrook failed to steal the ball directly, the Grizzlies were forced to slow down the attack.
Conley did not entangle with Westbrook, but jumped up and handed the ball to Link! When Sefrosa saw this, only when he crossed in front of Link, Durant had just finished entanglement with Tony Allen, and couldn't make it back for a while.
"Swiss Army Knife" Sefrosa's defensive ability is equally good, but in Link's view, it is far worse than Durant.
Link held the ball in one hand and stood waiting for Gasol to screen.
After the Spaniard's pick-and-roll was ready, Link immediately accelerated to the right!
Sefrossa didn't dare to hesitate, ready to bypass the pick and roll. However, he had just made a move when Link changed his direction and walked to the side where there was no pick-and-roll!
Fake cover!
"Damn, is there any mistake? The dribble is really smooth!" Perkins had to make up for Link, but now, Perkins really can't keep up with Link.
Link took two strides and opened up with Perkins. Seeing the opportunity, Link took off and layup!
However, the Thunder's defense naturally cannot be that fragile. Otherwise, the first quarter would not limit the Grizzlies so embarrassed.
Serge Ibaka rushed to the ball, intending to push Link's layup on the rebound. A power forward who averages 3 blocks per game is not a joke.
Link did not expect Ibaka to come back in such a timely manner, but he was not nervous, because the offensive space was not completely locked.
Seeing Ibaka pounce at him, Link took the raised arm and the basketball away. The whole person curled up and passed under the basket.
But because Link rushed in and took off, he had already flown behind the rebound. However, Link was not in a hurry. He straightened his long arms and froze to send the ball to the backboard behind the rebound.
The basketball was wiping the backboard and refracting into the net, while Link fell a lot because of the constant change of center of gravity in the air. But before landing, Link saw the basketball flying into the net.
This is enough!
"A beautiful drawbar layup, Link dodges Serge Ibaka's inevitable block! It's amazing to be able to complete the layup even when people have already drifted behind the rebound! This is the superstar. Ball, this is personal ability!"
Mike Brin's eyes were bright, and after a frantic first quarter, the Grizzlies' offense finally rekindled!
Link fell to the ground with his back on his back. Due to too much inertia, both his legs were raised after landing.
Link then took advantage of the trend and pushed his waist and abdomen, took a roll, and got up directly!
This perfect landing posture caused the Federal Express Arena to scream.
"Damn, am I so happy just after getting rid of it?" Durant gritted his teeth and saw Link begin to resurrect. There was still a pool of stagnant water over him, and his mood was terrible.
"Don't tell me, your current opponent is not me." Link waved his hand and ran away from Durant. After that, Durant saw Tony Allen's focused eyes again.
Durant is also a bit on the top, this time he wants to crush Tony Allen with his back.
It stands to reason that Durant is more than 2.10 meters tall, but Tony Allen's height is similar to that of a high point guard, which should be very dominant.
However, Tony Allen is very good at using confrontation to make up for his height disadvantage. Interfering with shooting is more than just blocking the opponent's shooting route. Tony Allen's method is to give Durant a strong confrontation when he shoots, that is, he will not let Comfortable shots.
Under Tony Allen's near-rude interference, Durant, who has the advantage of height, felt that his center of gravity was unstable when he was about to take off and was about to shoot, so he turned over and shot again!
After being consumed by Link for a whole quarter, Durant became a little anxious. To deal with such anxious opponents is Tony Allen's strength!
Link personally accepted the defensive rebound this time, and then went straight to the backcourt!
Mike Conley has already advanced to the right horn, and the Grizzlies do not intend to give the Thunder any chance to breathe and react.
Conley made a tentative move to the left, Westbrook immediately moved horizontally~EbookFREE.me~ His original intention was good and he wanted to actively defend. But Westbrook's defense always has a feeling of overstrength.
It was the same this time. Conley just made a probing step, and Westbrook reacted like that. So Conley accelerated in the opposite direction and threw Westbrook away.
With Conley's rapid breakthrough, the defense of the entire Thunder team shrank.
When Conley took off, there were at least three defensive players beside him!
But in the air, Conley did not panic. He stared at the basket and threw the ball to the left corner!
Over there, Link has already been in ambush!
"A beautiful breakthrough point, Mike Conley found Link in the open! Kevin Durant blocked it, but there is no doubt that he has missed the best time!"
As Mike Brin said, Durant has missed the best time to block shots. When Conley broke through, Durant also focused on him. Therefore, Durant's time to block shots was half a beat late.
To be honest, it's not too late. But for Link, it was enough!
After Durant blocked the landing, he still didn't want to retract his raised arm. He looked back at the basketball. At the bottom corner, the basket seemed to become a line.
After the basketball in the air fell, it coincided with this line.
As the Nets rolled, Durant knew that his defense had failed and Link scored 5 points in a row!
Don't need to watch Durant on the defensive end, Link is relaxed! But on the Thunder side, there is no second player who can watch Link.
The point difference was once again extended to 8 points. This time, the Thunder estimated that it would not be so easy to pull the point difference back.
Link opened his arms and "flyed" cheerfully in front of Durant's eyes.
The game has officially entered the rhythm of the Memphis Grizzlies!
