Game 1 of the playoffs against the Grizzlies

Finally the playoffs began, and I was sorry to be honest with the playoffs last year because of injuries, the first game was at home against the Memphis Grizzlies, and after I came back from South Korea, I kept training and practiced every day until I had no strength, and during this time I also felt the tension inside, and although I wanted to relieve the atmosphere, I found myself for the first time that I didn't have the slightest solution, because not only everyone was nervous, but I was also nervous.

Finally waited for the day of the game, although we had the advantage at home, but because everyone was too nervous, so the mistakes were frequent, I and Durant's shots were frequently iron, and the score was gradually pulled away, the coach called a timeout helplessly, and listened to the coach's reprimand off the court: jack, Du, what's going on with you two, don't you want to play, do you wake up, look at what you play, is that called basketball, you two give me a good reflection off the court first, this is the playoffs, If you are still like this, don't play, and the coach scolded and pressed to the bench, and Durant and I looked at each other silently.

Sitting on the board and watching the score gradually widen, watching my teammates all hang their heads I suddenly blamed myself, I am not a good leader, I actually sat on the court at a critical moment of the team, so that my teammates were under so much pressure, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, angry at what I was doing, stood up and walked towards the coach, I found that Durant and I also stood up at the same time, looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes, we looked at each other and smiled, the coach looked at us and waved our big hand, Let's play again.

There were 7 minutes left in the game, the difference in points was 16 points, I ended up serving with all my speed, rushed through the defense and rushed into the interior, Gasol Jr. quickly retreated, just when I was about to cover the basketball, I turned my wrist and threw the ball back, and Durant, who caught up, rose into the air, poured the ball in, and simply slapped his hands after coming down to quickly return to defense, and saw the war in the eyes of the opponent.

Turning around and cutting off Henry's dribble, he jumped under the basket and dunked the ball in, and the continuous dunks also ignited the dull court, ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates, and watched the two cores of the team begin to exert their power, and the teammates continued to run, and finally reversed the score in the last second of the game with Durant's and three points, and won the first playoff game 101-99, and the nervous feeling disappeared, Durant and I were hugged by our teammates, and the coach was also relieved, If you lose this game, it will be very demoralizing to the team.

Out of the arena, Durant and I turned down the offer to celebrate with our teammates, we went to a coffee shop and did it, we both tensed ourselves up during this time, we didn't sit down together for a long time, and we decided to talk about what happened next, after all, we are the core of the team, and our emotions affect the teammates around us.
