: Five hundred and sixty four: Showdown, no more

At the beginning of the second quarter, Link improved the Grizzlies offense.
The Grizzlies’ strategy is progressive, using Link and Durant in the first quarter to make the Thunder score as few as possible. In the second quarter, when the Thunder were still stuck in a scoring rhythm, Link suddenly stood up, enough to catch the Thunder by surprise.
Durant is quite distressed now, he has to defend and score, which will undoubtedly further reduce his efficiency.
And Link? He almost only uses scoring now. Sefrosa only scored 7.6 points in the regular season, and his scoring data in the playoffs was reduced to 5.7 points.
To put it bluntly, Sefrossa doesn't have any autonomous offensive ability, as long as he doesn't give him an open shot.
Link can easily handle this level of offense.
Of course, the Thunder cannot give up resistance from the second quarter. They are always second in the Western Conference, and they have won 60 games this season.
After Link scored 5 points in a row, the Thunder began to score.
Westbrook was the first to hit the penalty area. His speed was too fast, and he flung Conley away and went in.
If it's an ordinary point guard, you can only avoid throwing shots if you encounter the black and white bears. But Westbrook is so strong, he was stunned to force a layup with the black and white bears!
Naturally, the ball was not scored, and the man fell too hard, but he won the referee's whistle!
"The Grizzlies defensive foul, Westbrook made two free throws." The referee yelled at the technical stage, and Westbrook lay on the ground and raised his arm.
His impact interrupted the Grizzlies' scoring momentum.
Westbrook stood up and made two free throws. Durant is indeed temporarily lost, but the Thunder have others who can score.
Later, Link scored the ball to Tony Allen after encountering a double-team, but Tony's teacher did not make a layup in the confrontation.
I have to say that if Tony Allen's offense is so reliable, he is definitely a player who can earn millions of years.
His partiality is too serious.
The situation was not as smooth as Link had imagined, and he was misfired just after scoring 5 points in a row, which was not what Link wanted.
While Link was still thinking about what to do, Westbrook had already killed him again with lightning speed!
His breakthrough was very penetrating, and directly hit the Grizzlies' hinterland.
Facing Gasol and Conley's double interception, Westbrook froze and completed a difficult layup in the seam!
"Tsk." Link curled his lips. Westbrook's sudden eruption was something he didn't expect.
The point difference returned to 4 points, and the Thunder also found some offensive feeling.
Although their scores are intermittent, they will not be completely thrown off by the Grizzlies. Whenever Link wants to completely open the score, the Thunder can stop losses in time.
It lasted for three minutes in the second quarter. Although the Grizzlies kept the lead, the point difference was delayed.
Stevens called a timeout in desperation, he must continue to adjust his strategy!
"Andre, how are you resting?" The marshal found that the Thunder's offensive efficiency is still not high, but the Grizzlies must also find a second scoring point besides Link to widen the difference.
Randolph played against Ibaka, it is difficult to give a chance. Gasol, his offensive performance is inherently unstable.
So, the marshal set his sights on Iguodala.
"Later I will not only need you to defend, but you also need to share the scoring pressure for Link. If there is an open position, don't hesitate."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Iguodala stood up, took off his training uniform, walked to Link's side, and prepared to go on stage.
"Hey, kid, do you remember what you said to me when I first arrived?" Iguodala turned to look at Link.
"Huh?" Link didn't react for a while.
"You said, I hope to join me in decorating the dome of the Federal Express Arena. Now we are infinitely close to this goal. So let me help you, Link."
After speaking, Iguodala patted Link on the shoulder. The timeout also ended, and both parties re-entered.
Link looked at Iguodala with a firm face, this guy, finally pretending to be enough, right?
Link said, this time, the Thunder won't want to get those points back easily!
"Tony Allen played three minutes in the second quarter. The Grizzlies are now on the court. Will Link go back to defend Durant? Or, will the Thunder equalize?"
The game was full of suspense, and the Thunder were not beaten to death by a single move. This is actually more worthy of the harsh words that Link and Durant put before the game.
If both sides can defeat each other so easily, how can they be called rivals?
Pause back for the first offense, the Grizzlies have the ball.
Just now, Tony Allen's offense was indeed dragged down. But in Durant's view, Iguodala is not much better. The Thunder's defensive focus, and only Link!
Link held the ball and hit the ball to Gasol, but Gasol was just the command tower. Durant was next to Link. He knew that the ball would definitely pass to Link who cut inside!
Link cut inside, and Durant was smug. But until Link ran out of the three-second zone, the ball still did not pass.
"Huh?" Durant and Ibaka, who were ready to help defend at any time, were dumbfounded.
The next second, Iguodala suddenly accelerated into the penalty area. Gasol then passed the ball, giving Iguodala a chance to attack the frame!
Since Link's movement just attracted the attention of Durant and Ibaka, when Iguodala cut in, he was almost unguarded.
Ibaka hurriedly made up, but to no avail. Iguodala made a layup easily, and the points gap continued to widen!
"Andre seems to have a strong offensive desire today, which is a bit unusual."
Link became excited, and if Tony Allen was replaced with that goal just now, it might not be possible to make progress. But Iguodala... don't be fooled by his data!
In the next round, Durant's shot also scored. He has always been a super scorer and can make shots even in the worst conditions.
But before Durant had time to be happy, Link went to the basket and gave Durant a "punch."
For this ball, Link's breakthrough was very simple. But after hitting the basket, Link made an emergency stop fake shot.
This time, both Ibaka and Durant were fired. Seeing that the two forwards defending himself were "floating" in the air, Link turned back and leaned back to make a jumper and easily hit it again!
Link's scoring stability is very strong and rarely misses under absolute chance.
The point difference returned to 8 points, 8 points, as if it was a bump. The Grizzlies have been unable to expand the score further, and the Thunder couldn't tie these 8 points.
Therefore, whoever can break through this hurdle first will gain the advantage to reverse the situation!
The Thunder want to continue the score, but their offensive stability is far worse.
Durant still wanted to attack, but Iguodala did not give a chance. When Durant raised the ball, he started everything and shot it off!
Durant quickly grabbed the ball back and almost made a mistake. Although he kept the ball, Durant's attack has undoubtedly failed.
So, KD handed the ball to Westbrook. After Westbrook came around, he took the ball from the three-point line!
The ball was shot very positively and powerfully, but the arc was too flat. Eventually knocked to the front of the basket, forming a long rebound.
Link will not miss any long rebounds, and this one is no exception.
"Damn, can't let him do whatever he wants!"
Durant yelled secretly in his heart, every time the difference was approaching, there would always be mistakes. This time, he wants to show the tight defense in the first quarter!
Durant posted it when Link was in possession of the ball halftime. Link almost made a dribble error under the interference of Durant's long arm. It has to be said that once Durant is seriously defensive, it is at the gate level.
Link staggered and hugged the ball steadily, but because he could no longer dribble, he was forced to death in place.
Sefrosa did not hesitate. Seeing this, he rushed to double-team Link with Durant!
Under the two extremely aggressive double-teams, Link was about to lose his weight and fell. Link knows very well that once a fall in this situation, the ball will definitely go to the Thunder!
No, we must find a way to overcome this obstacle!
At this moment, Iguodala went beyond the three-point line, with his hands on his chest, palms facing out, he was obviously ready to catch the ball.
Link's body had already begun to recede, and one second before he fell, he passed the ball from the gap between Durant and Sefrosa's thighs to Iguodala!
"Link fell, but he passed the ball before then! Andre Iguodala received the basketball~EbookFREE.me~ What would he do?"
Seeing Iguodala catch the ball, Durant was relieved. A guy who will make more than 30% of his three-pointers will not necessarily make it even if he shoots.
What's more, Sefrossa also made up for the first time, and Iguodala eventually took the shot during the interference.
The score still hasn't been expanded, this time, we must make every effort to fill in the 8 points!
Durant had just brewed his emotions and was about to attack with all his strength, but he heard the sound of the Nets rolling.
"Huh!?" Durant looked back and saw the Nets floating. Then, the DJ yelled.
"Andre Iguodala, Three~~~~"
"In?" Durant looked up at the big screen at the scene.
Go in!
"On a three-pointer, Andre Iguodala took the responsibility bravely. He undoubtedly became Link's most powerful helper on the perimeter! The point difference became 11 points, and the Grizzlies finally broke the 8-point threshold. Now, the Thunder situation is getting more and more dangerous!"
"Hey, you shouldn't leave him alone." After Link got up, he didn't forget to scold Durant.
Iguodala made only 31% of three-pointers during the regular season. It’s true, but no one has told Durant that Iguodala has made 40.3% of three-pointers in the playoffs so far. !
When he stops pretending to be dead, you can no longer look at him with regular season eyes.
Iguodala had only wanted to contend with the Thunder as an ordinary person, but in exchange it was contempt.
Now it's alright, let's showdown, don't pretend!
The dual firepower of him and Link is enough to make the Thunder's offensive offense ashamed!
After the second quarter, Link and Iguodala's offense was even more out of control.
