: Five hundred and seventy-four: The sixth man in the fifty-point lineup?

In 3 minutes, the Grizzlies led by 4 points. For Link and his team, this weak advantage is not enough to make them complacent.
Three minutes is enough to change many things. At least 4 points of this gap, want to change is easy.
Durant was in very good form today. Except for his poor performance in the first quarter because of his impatience, Link was almost overwhelmed at other times.
Durant was surprised by Link's state. As a man with the highest scoring record of only 45 points in the regular season, Link actually improved his single-game personal scoring record in the playoffs.
So the last three minutes are not easy for Durant.
The two faced each other for the entire game, and both played very well. But in the end, there can only be one winner.
Before the final three minutes of the game, under the TV screen, there was a list of players who could score 50 points in the playoffs since the 21st century.
Although it has been 13 years since the 21st century, there are only a few names on the list.
Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Nowitzki and Kobe are gone.
Only five players have scored 50 points in the playoffs since the 21st century. No LeBron James, no Dwyane Wade, no McGrady, no Garnett, no Anthony... It can be seen how difficult it is to score 50 points in the playoffs.
Today, people are about to witness the birth of the sixth man in this "50-point lineup".
Link didn't think so much, he wasn't aiming to break the record, the only thing he thought about was winning.
But in the case of other people's low scoring efficiency, Link only has to carry the banner of offense. The 50-point record in the playoffs is more like a "subsidiary reward." All Link really wants is victory!
The timeout was always short, and both players returned to the court.
The Grizzlies were still on the starting lineup at the last minute. On the Thunder side, Kevin Martin replaced Sefolosa who had originally started.
When Link played again, Thunder fans could only cover up their fear of Link with endless boos.
A player who scored 50 points in their home court, can they not be afraid?
After the players from both sides stepped onto the court again, the camera also gave Link and Durant a split-screen close-up, and shot their terrible data at the bottom of the screen.
This is undoubtedly a fairy war, a direct duel between the league's best scorers.
Now, no one will question whether Link's selection to the first team deserves his name. He has used his strength to explain everything.
Durant is not good enough, but his competitors are too strong.
Watching the Grizzlies press up in a dark blue jersey, Durant felt a little depressed. The color of the Grizzlies' jersey really matches their temperament.
"Even if you score 50 points, I won't let you win the game!" As soon as Link got closer, Durant gave Link an "Ultimatum."
"I don't expect you to let me win the game, I will grab the victory by myself!" Link said, staring at Conley, keeping an eye on whether he wants to pass.
Link pushed Durant to near the free throw line, and then immediately bounced out of the three-point line, shaking out the space for receiving the ball.
After Link got the basketball, Westbrook was delayed immediately.
Double teamwork! This is Thunder's new strategy!
However, Link was not restricted by the double-teaming of the second Thunder. Faced with double teams, maybe a player like Kobe will choose to shoot against two defensive players. But in fact, the best way to face double teams is to find the teammates who have been leaked the first time.
However, not all stars have an excellent passing ability.
Passing looks simple, but it is very difficult to do well.
It’s not enough for you to have excellent passing accuracy because you have to be able to see your teammates for the first time.
And you can only see your teammates for the first time but can't send the ball comfortably, which is no use.
When Yao Ming was still playing, he couldn't find a point guard who could comfortably feed the ball into his hands.
For the Rockets at that time, being able to feed the ball to Yao Ming smoothly was considered a tactical success.
But the passing ability is not a problem for Link. For forwards who can average nearly 7 assists per game, Link and James are the only players in the league.
With Westbrook and Durant raising their arms, Link flicked his wrist and passed the ball under Durant's crotch!
Conley, who went to the mid-range on the right, received the basketball and shot it directly!
Oklahoma City's defense has some gamble in it. On the one hand, it is betting on Link's passing ability. The other side is betting on the offensive grasp of other Grizzlies players.
Under extremely strong defense, the other Grizzlies may not be able to score efficiently. But this kind of open shot, Conley will not miss it.
He steadily hit the ball, letting the Thunder's plan be declared stranded the first time it was executed.
Double teamwork is not working!
"The Grizzlies have a 6-point advantage. Coach Scott Brooks's new strategy doesn't seem to be effective. If the Thunder don't want the Grizzlies to score so easily, they must strictly enforce man-to-man defense. That way. , The game still depends on the performance of Link and Durant!"
Mike Brin is right, double teamwork is really not feasible for the Grizzlies. As long as there is a chance, Link can deliver the ball.
For the Thunder offense, this time Durant held the ball on the left to confront Link. The Grizzlies did not double-team, but it was discovered that Marc Gasol was standing diagonally behind Link. As long as Durant broke through, he would definitely help defend!
Compared to the Thunder, the Grizzlies are significantly smarter and more effective in double-teaming.
After all, Perkins is almost negligible offensively. Therefore, even if Durant can pass the ball to Perkins, Perkins may not be able to score.
The best defensive team player and DOPY teamed up, enough to make Durant feel a lot of pressure.
Durant is not stupid. After seeing Gasol's position, he understood everything instantly.
Therefore, Durant did not choose to break through this time, but made a jumper!
Link blocked it in time, and the ball didn't look like a good chance. But Durant finally relied on his powerful shooting ability to score the ball!
The score difference returned to 4 points, Durant's personal score also came to 44 points! This ball once again refreshed Durant's record for the highest score in a single game in the playoffs!
Although Durant scored the goal, Mike Brin was sweating for the Thunder. If Durant doesn't break through and rely solely on such shots, how many can he make in a row?
"Man-to-man, man-to-man!" Brooks shouted at the players as the Thunder retreated.
Facts have proved that double double teaming cannot contain Link. Rather than let the other Grizzlies get a chance to score easily, it's better to let Durant continue heads-up against Link. At least that way, the Grizzlies can't get a complete big gap.
But Link has scored 46 points today, which is enough to show that Durant's defense has not really contained Link.
Link saw no double-teams after catching the ball this time, so he boldly started to make moves.
He alternately dribbled the ball with left and right hands, and raised the center of gravity several times, but did not accelerate the breakthrough, making Durant a little hesitant.
In the end, Durant decided to steal, he did not intend to continue to wear Link like this.
Link is waiting for this time! The master tricks, sometimes it is to make mistakes before anyone else.
Durant's stealing ability is still very strong, although the center of gravity is high, but the timing is well judged, and the wingspan is long enough. Since his career, Durant has averaged more than 1 steal per season.
This season, he averaged 1.4 times per game!
As a forward with a height of 2 meters and 10 upwards, this is quite terrible data.
But this was what Link waited for, so he was fully prepared. Before Durant's slender fingers touched the basketball, Link pulled the ball to the side, changed its direction in front of his body, immediately accelerated, and broke through Durant beautifully!
Durant hurried back to chase. In the situation just now, most of his opponents must have been cut off. However, Link was stunned that he could complete the change so quickly. His dribbling ability is really unmatched in the third position.
Just as Durant tried his best to pursue it, Link stopped abruptly and retreated!
Now, Durant knew he was dead.
Retreat jumper, this is Link's favorite shooting rhythm. Rather than taking a jump shot from the spot, Link feels he has a greater grasp of retreating and shooting.
Durant was tall and long in arms, but because he rushed too hard, he was swayed a step away by Link's retreat. Putting Link so big is basically equivalent to giving points!
Sure enough, Link's jumper was very steady and not sloppy. Basketball hit the net, and the point difference returned to 6 points!
And Link's personal score has come to 48 points!
"Go in again, Link seems to be proficient in all the offensive skills in this world! With another 2 points, just another 2 points, Link will become the sixth in the 21st century to score 50 points in the playoffs. player of!"
Mike Brin couldn't believe that he was going to witness history on the Grizzlies again!
Iverson, Carter, Kobe, Dirk, Gentleman Ray...Now, Link only needs to score one more goal to keep pace with these great names!
However, he is only in the third grade!
Durant was a little upset, maybe he shouldn't have tackled it in the first place. Now, the pressure is on Durant's side again. Now, whoever drops the chain first will be punished.
If Link does not score, the point difference will be approached by the Thunder. If Durant didn't score a goal, they would be one step closer to the edge of the cliff.
This time, the Grizzlies' strategy to defend Durant remains the same. Link went up to the front and Gasol was behind.
Seeing Durant being guarded so hard, Westbrook plans to break through by himself this time!
However, just halfway through, Conley reached out and patted Westbrook's basketball. All Chesapeake Energy Arena fans were taken aback. If this ball is missed, a "tortoise slaughter meeting" will be held after the game.
Fortunately, Westbrook stumbled and rescued the basketball. But accordingly, he can no longer dribble.
In the end, Thunder No. 0 still had the choice to pass the ball to Durant. After going around, Durant had to make a final decision.
Link is very tight this time, just don't want Durant to shoot.
Durant finally decided to break through after making two three-threat steps!
He has no choice, and he also knows that at this critical moment, he cannot do things that are uncertain.
However, it was only after Durant broke through that he realized that this choice may be more difficult than shooting!
Little Gasol's defense is very in place, stuck in the position, but will not rashly foul.
In the end ~EbookFREE.me~ Durant only forced a shot under the double attack of Link and Gasol.
The hearts of the Thunder fans all mentioned their throats. Durant failed to create a miracle. His close-range shots were knocked out under the defensive chain set up by Link and Gasol!
"Not in, KD failed to score! The Grizzlies' defensive strategy is successful, they won this key defense!"
Link actively grabbed the rebound, and then immediately pushed!
The Thunder can't run a bit, after all, they have not had more rest time than the Grizzlies from the last round to now. Moreover, Link's physical fitness is better than most people.
Link skilfully handles the ball through the crowd. Durant gritted his teeth around Link, but he could not surpass Link.
In the end, Link leaned on Durant to attack the basket! In the air, Durant gave Link a strong confrontation.
Link lost all focus, but before falling down, he calmly threw the basketball to the rebound.
Durant watched the basketball fall back while rubbing his fingertips, his heart cold.
Link fell heavily to the ground and slid a distance on the floor. He didn't see whether the ball was scored or not, only heard a sigh from the Thunder fans.
If the ball is scored, then the Thunder will be 8 points behind the Grizzlies in the last 43 seconds! In this way, the Grizzlies are equivalent to gnawing this away game!
Link immediately got up, but before he had time to look up at the big screen, the game was stopped by the Thunder. Afterwards, Randolph gave a powerful bear hug.
"Points! You did it, you did it! We are going to win, we are going home with a score of 3-1!"
Although he still didn't see the data, in Randolph's arms, Link smiled with satisfaction.
At the 50th point, Link finally ended last year's regret.
At the 50th point, Link killed the Thunder!
