: Five hundred and seventy-two: the moment of star VS star

Link caught Durant, unless there is a lore in this game, otherwise, this is enough to become the most exciting shot of the game, there is no one.
Durant himself was frightened by the ball. Link's ability to catch the shot is not just a matter of jumping high, but the key is that his speed of light reaction is too abnormal!
As we all know, this kind of throwing is generally hard to be taken, let alone being caught directly.
But if the defender can react in time before the basketball completely ascends to the highest point, there is still a possibility of blocking.
Link's real horror lies here. His speed of light reaction coupled with his strong vertical bounce ability makes Durant's projectile inevitable!
Link's catch took a blow to the confidence of the Thunder fans. They have been standing in the stands for several minutes, but they have not seen a goal.
Finally, there was a chance to score, but it was destroyed by Link in such an incredible way.
With a smooth turn around and a layup plus a crazy catch, just one offense and one defense, Link has proved that he is indeed qualified to appear in the best first team.
After that, the impatient Durant still did not perform well. He wanted revenge too much, too wanted to defeat Link. But this mentality prevented him from making the most correct decision.
The Thunder's inability to score continued until the fourth minute of the first quarter. Westbrook's emergency stop zombie jumper broke the scoring drought for the Thunder. In the stands, the Thunder fans were finally able to take their seats.
But now, no one would feel lucky, and no one would feel that Link was beaten in the face.
The Grizzlies guarded for four minutes, and the fans stood for four minutes, which is not something to be proud of for the Thunder.
Although the scoring shortage was broken, Durant was still unable to score efficiently, and the Thunder began to gradually fall behind. After six minutes in the first quarter, Scott Brooks replaced Derek Fischer, who made 4 of 4 3-pointers in the previous game.
Seeing the "old fish" come out, the Thunder fans seemed to have seen a savior. Unfortunately, Fischer did not continue yesterday's magical performance. If a team really counts on the current Fischer to reverse the situation, it might as well just surrender.
Fortunately, after Fischer faded his magical halo, Kevin Martin stepped up and took up the task of scoring that belonged to Durant. In the end, the Thunder only fell behind by 5 points after the first quarter.
Throughout the first quarter, Durant made only 2 of 7 shots, which was terribly inefficient.
On the other hand, Link, not only contributed a wonderful turn and catch, but also could not fault the data in a single quarter with 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
In the first round of the duel, Durant was defeated!
"Link has shown great strength as a best player. He has made great contributions to the Grizzlies on both offense and defense. The Thunder is very passive now, and Kevin Martin's performance can only make the Thunder temporarily linger. If If the Thunder want to get back to the situation, it still depends on Kevin Durant's ability to play."
During the break, Mike Brin bluntly stated the key to the next game.
If Durant can't stand up and contend with Link today, then the Thunder will lose their home court!
For the Thunder, if you go to Memphis with a 1 to 3 score, it is undoubtedly going to in person!
Therefore, the Thunder must not give up easily.
Scott Brooks knows this truth better than Mike Brin, and today's game can't be lost even if he fights his head!
In the first quarter, Thunder is more than fierce, but lacks reason. Now Brooks is about to solve this problem.
"I know you want to beat him, but the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes! Calm down, I want you to calm down now, Kevin! You have to beat him slowly during the 48 minutes of the game. You can't directly Link knocked down! So, calm down!"
Brooks sat in front of Durant. He knew very well how far the No. 35 can play will directly determine how far the Thunder can go.
Durant said nothing, but nodded silently. He also knows that he can't afford to lose today, and he can no longer be arrogant.
Then Brooks looked at everyone, "Be tough, you let the Grizzlies attack the basket too easily in the first quarter. This is a game for men, you can't act like a girl!"
The inter-festival break is very short, and Brooks has not adjusted much. After all, Brooks is not a master of tactics, he is a "chicken soup" coach.
But sometimes, the psychological state of the fans is indeed more effective than tactical changes.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Link found that Durant's expression was not as ferocious as it was when the game started.
Sure enough, are you coming?
Although five points behind, the cheers of the Thunder fans have not diminished. They are cheering up the Thunder players all the time, hoping that the situation can be reversed.
Link posted Durant again, but Durant did not demand the ball rashly, but tried to find opportunities.
Sure enough, this guy won't be so easy! Durant won't suffer a second time because of the loss in the first quarter!
Durant finally reached the right mid-range, leaning on Link with his back, ready to attack.
Westbrook hit the ground and delivered the ball to KD's hands, and Link held Durant's waist to prevent him from moving backwards.
However, Durant didn't exert any strength at all. After feeling Link's defense, he directly chose to roll over and throw a jumper!
This time, when Durant took a shot, Link saw only calm and confidence on his face.
"Swipe!" The long-lost sound finally rang in Durant's ears, and he finally scored a goal on Link's head comfortably!
Durant did not spit out trash, nor celebrated unscrupulously, just raised his fist gently.
Link could see that Durant was completely adjusted now.
Subsequently, Randolph's cut layup was brutally blocked by Ibaka! The basketball was directly hit by Ibaka on the backboard.
Not to mention the completion of the block, Randolph was hit by Ibaka directly out of the bottom line.
The Thunder's defense is much tougher than before. Not only are they not afraid of physical confrontation, they are also very keen on physical confrontation.
Randolph was very annoyed. This was not a bear playing his temper. Anyone who was knocked out would be emotional.
So Randolph snorted at Ibaka after he got up. The smell of gunpowder on the scene on both sides also began to become intense.
The Thunder are now only 3 points away to tie the score, so this round of offense is very important for them.
Durant didn't make random shots because it was a critical round. The result of the random shots was that Link was caught.
Now thinking of the catch just now, Durant's first reaction was not anger, but caution.
This change in mentality is enough for Durant to avoid a lot of minefields!
This time, the Thunder shot the "Swiss Army Knife" Sefrosa. As a 3D player, in addition to defense, his biggest use is naturally to shoot three points.
However, under Iguodala's tight defense, Sefrossa's sight finally deviated from the target.
While everyone regretted that the Thunder did not seize the opportunity to tie the score, Ibaka got an offensive rebound at the basket!
Of course, this process is not easy. Ibaka directly violently knocked Randolph away from the position, and then received the rebound.
The most important thing is that the referee didn't call a foul for rebounding!
Now, can Randolph still stand it? He yelled at the referee to express his dissatisfaction. And Ibaka took advantage of this time to pass the ball to Durant!
At the start of the game, Durant made a hasty shot and was seriously interrupted by Link.
This time, Durant raised his focus, as if trying to shoot. But at the moment when Link was about to block, Durant suddenly turned into a dribble breakthrough!
Fake Buddha worship!
Durant has a big step~EbookFREE.me~ In two steps, he left Link off and went straight to the basket.
The frustrated Randolph took off and blocked. Although he is a fourth player, his conditions are not as good as Durant from height to wingspan.
Durant didn't receive much interference. He held the center of gravity in the air and threw the ball gently to the basket!
At this time, the referee blew the whistle. At the same time, the basketball nets, Durant got a 2+1 chance!
"I, Cao, you didn't blow it just now, but now it's very decisive to blow me up! What the is wrong with you? Do you want to play last year's trick again?" Randolph was completely angry, and he pressed forward every step of the way. Challenge the authority of the referee.
Ibaka applauded fantasizingly, and Randolph was even more angry.
In fact, the referee did not favor any side this year, it was just a matter of scale.
Perhaps in the opinion of this referee, the confrontation when rebounding is inevitable. But the foul in the opponent's offense is unforgivable.
Link saw that the referee was ready to give T, so he hurried up to round the field, asked Iguodala to pull Randolph away, and then spoke a few words with the referee before the referee gave up.
Randolph shook his hand unwillingly, and Durant stood on the free throw line, preparing to tie the score.
Now, the scale of victory seemed to be leaning toward the Thunder again.
Link sighed, and the Thunder suddenly increased the range of movement, which really made it difficult to adapt. Now it's not just Randolph, everyone seems to have encountered a bottleneck. Relying on the team's offense, there is no way to compete with Durant who has calmed down.
It seems that the moment of star VS star must be staged in advance.
"brush!"
While thinking about it, Durant made a free throw to tie the score.
Link clapped his hands vigorously to make sure his teammates' attention was on him.
"Try to hit me!" Link said.
