Reverse Growth Superstar

In Hollins' view, the Grizzlies had fully controlled the initiative in the first quarter, and the reason why the score has not been opened now is because Westbrook played super-level in the first quarter.

Yes, Hollins thinks Westbrook is playing at a super level. He acknowledged the physical talent of the No. 0 guard, but Westbrook has never been a consistent scorer. As long as the X factor of him is contained, the Thunder will not be able to counter-press Durant alone!

After seeing the offense and defense just started in the second quarter, Hollins became more confident in the game! The first playoff win in the history of the Grizzlies may be today! In this state, Hollins is confident that Westbrook's shooting percentage will be controlled below 40%!

Even for outside players, this shooting percentage is low enough.

On the court, Link and Randolph's beautiful cooperation extended the difference between the two sides to 6 points. The Grizzlies' forward line is murderous. During the regular season, people probably didn't realize that they were so dangerous.

Westbrook also knew that he had just missed a great opportunity, so following the Thunder's offense, Westbrook finally gave up his shot.

This time, Westbrook made a breakthrough and was blocked by the Black and White Bears, assisting Serge Ibaka to dunk easily at the basket.

That's how Westbrook's assists are. Although his organizational skills are not strong, his passing accuracy is still acceptable. Under the double-team of the opponent's two insides, the ball can still be stuffed into the hands of teammates from the seam.

Ibaka's dunks made the somewhat deserted Chesapeake Energy Arena lively again, but Hollins still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and is not worried.

As long as Westbrook does not score, as long as there is no connection between him and Durant, everything the Thunder has done is in vain!

"James, I'll defend him!" Durant yelled to Harden as soon as the Thunder scored.

Harden nodded silently, and ran up to Tony Allen griefly. Durant was a little disappointed with the defense just now. Harden's guy is always defensive when defending, even in the playoffs.

If Link knew what Durant was thinking, he would definitely remind him very intimately, "Don't worry, Harden will be like this in the Finals."

Durant doesn't like talking on the court, this is his impression during the Thunder. But Link knows very well that Durant is a black-bellied guy, and it's possible that only Durant can do things like trumpeting netizens and former teammates.

"You don't actually like Russell? He is too impulsive." Link looked at Durant with a serious face, and wanted to tease him.

"what did you say?"

"You must be very dissatisfied with James Harden's defense, but you don't want to say it in person. It doesn't matter, I will help you make the whole world aware of this issue."

After Link finished speaking, he suddenly ran to the top of the arc outside the three-point line and received a pass from Conley. After catching the ball, Link didn't hesitate for a second, and slammed the ball to the ground!

Durant looked back and passed the ball! And it was Tony Allen who caught the ball. Sure enough, Harden didn't keep up!

"This round Durant and Harden switched defenses, but for now, Harden's defense seems to be the same for everyone." Van Gundy couldn't help but teased. Tony Allen, a well-known offensive idiot, can play in Kazakhstan. You have to eat and drink on the head, this defense is really no one.

Link passed through the Thunder defense line and assisted Tony Allen for a layup. The Grizzlies scored again, and Link spread his hands at Durant, "Want to win the game? I advise you to control the ball yourself!"

Link knew that ordinary trash talk was useless to Durant. But if you cut it from the side, Durant's mentality will still be affected.

Twenty seconds later, Westbrook's brain was hot with an emergency stop jumper, which undoubtedly added fuel to Durant's heart.

Now that the Thunder are lagging behind, Durant is provoked by Link, and he is already out of anger. At this time, Westbrook's brain exploded again, thinking about it, Durant was pretty cool.

Westbrook was afraid of getting into the post and being assisted by Gasol, so he halted his jumper when he was halfway through the break. But this guy who wears the same number as Link does not have the same touch as Link.

His shooting is so stiff that even Link can't stand it. Strictly speaking, Westbrook's shooting posture is still very standard. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is too stiff, straight up and down!

From the start of the jump, Westbrook gave a feeling of overstretching. He was obviously stuck in the air when he took off and shot, and then relied on super strong finger and wrist power to "smash the ball out"! The whole process was so stiff and too hard that his shooting was even ridiculed as a "zombie jumper" by fans.

Seeing Westbrook wasting an opportunity because he did it alone again, Durant felt uncomfortable.

"What am I talking about? You have to control the ball yourself, Kevin." Link continues to fan the flames, and the villain should look like a villain.

Durant still ignored Link, but he probably cursed Westbrook and Link thousands of times in his heart.

The 6-point gap is subtle, and the Grizzlies can work hard to pull the gap to double digits. But if the Thunder work hard, the points difference will soon be filled.

It can be said that this is a turning point in the game.

Durant's defense against Link was very tight this time. He put one hand on Link's chest and the other blocked his receiving route. But Link didn't panic, and relying on it alone, he naturally couldn't do Durant. But relying on the team system, Link can beat most of the stars in the league!

This time, Link reached out and asked Tony Allen to screen himself off the ball. The purpose of this screen is very clear, to force Durant and Harden to switch positions!

"James, don't change defense!" Durant saw through Link's plan, but if he didn't change defense, Durant would definitely be thrown away by Link for some distance.

As soon as Link took the screen and ran away, Conley's ball passed. Link didn't make a false shooting after receiving the ball. He had used this trick too many times and couldn't fool Durant.

Link took a step to the left when Durant rushed over, making a sudden move. Sure enough, Durant immediately changed his focus and blocked the past. The defender in pursuit was the most impatient, and the words Link just said to Durant made Durant extremely want Link to shut up.

But the more anxious a player is, the more he will forget how to think.

After seeing Durant fooled, Link retracted his left foot and then turned around with his right foot as the axis, perfectly passing the scoring champion!

"Another superb offensive pace, haha, the scoring champion has been provoked!"

After passing Durant, Link is already very close to the basket. He raised the basketball with one hand, and gently pushed the ball into the hoop with gentle pressure on his wrist and fingers.

The posture of this ball is not like shooting or throwing, it's just Link's improvisational reaction in the tension. But such a shot showed Link's soft touch to the fullest.

Westbrook saw the ball and felt embarrassed. Why people’s shooting is so comfortable...

After this goal, Link's personal score has come to 11 points! The Grizzlies are the two forwards and are currently scoring double figures. Link and Randolph's momentum has completely surpassed Durant and Westbrook.

After the goal, Link hooked Durant. Link knew that No. 35's heart was already ablaze.

The points difference was widened to 8 points, the thunder was at stake, Durant couldn't bear it. This time when the Thunder attacked again, Durant finally raised his arm, he took the initiative to ask for the ball, ready to attack!

"Kevin Durant took the initiative to ask for the ball to attack. He knows that the Thunder is very unsafe. If this offense fails again, then the point difference will be widened to 10 points. At that time, the Grizzlies can rest assured. The bus is out."

As soon as Durant held the ball, Tony Allen raised his hand to block Durant's eyes. Battier's blindfolding method has been widely spread among the Grizzlies. The substantive effect of this blindfold may be limited, but it can indeed upset the attacker.

According to Battier, "Even if your match-up scores, don't let him score comfortably."

Durant, who was already angry, is now being disturbed by covering his eyes again, and he is even more impatient. After he took a probing step, he directly planned to break through Tony Allen, but just took a step, Durant discovered that the basketball was out of control!

Looking down, it turned out that Link had already made up for Durant's side unknowingly, waiting for him to dribble to wait for an opportunity to steal!

The upset Durant was not so careful when observing the defense, which made him make a big mistake. And Link's trash talk and Tony Allen's blindfolded eyes are just such an effect. Psychological offensive, sometimes really useful on the basketball court.

"Damn it!" Durant immediately chased him back. He had only the basket in his eyes just now. It was indeed his carelessness.

Link intercepted the basketball and took advantage of the fast break, but was quickly overtaken by Durant. That guy took one step when Link took two steps, those long legs, Link was only envious.

Durant gritted his teeth, he was bound to use a rough chase, a shame!

Link hit the basket~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and looked behind him, then suddenly jumped up and turned around in the air, smashing the ball beyond the three-point line!

At the top of the three-point arc, Zach Randolph received the basketball! But at this time, the Thunder's defense basically returned to the penalty zone! Including Ibaka, he did not expect Randolph to hold the ball beyond the three-point line!

Randolph didn't hesitate, he just shot outside the three-point line!

When Randolph was in New York, as a fourth position, he was criticized because he often shot outside the three-point line. In those days, a large-tonnage No. 4 position averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, which was incredible! After coming to the Grizzlies, Randolph converged, and honestly shot in the low and mid-range.

But the fact is, Randolph does have the ability to shoot three points. It may be unstable and cannot be used as a conventional weapon. But the occasional big open three-pointer, Randolph is not impossible to try!

Link's broad vision allowed Randolph, who was dragged in the end, to get such a big open three-pointer.

Randolph raised the basketball, bumped it gently, and shot from beyond the three-point line.

Scott Brooks stood up nervously, and the eyes of all the Thunder players were staring at the basketball that crossed the dome of the arena.

In the end, Randolph did not waste Link's wonderful pass. He hit a three-pointer, and while scoring his 13th point today, he also widened the difference to 11 points in one fell swoop! Two digits!

"From the beautiful cooperation of Zach and Link, the two of them have teamed up to score 24 points today!" Van Gundy shouted excitedly. This is what a truly mature duo should look like!

The 11-point difference is firmly on the Thunder, and once the Grizzlies open the difference in advance, the game will become quite difficult.
