Kevin. Durant broke through the inside line with his big steps, and although Link did not give an inch, Durant still relied on his strong personal ability to make a throwing move.

However, whether you can make a move and whether you can score basketball is completely different things. Durant's high shot finally slammed into the front of the basket and missed!

At this moment, Russell, who was also wearing the No. 0 jersey. Westbrook stepped in and used his aggressive scramble and unmatched bounce ability to get an offensive rebound!

In the No. 1 position in the league, he may be the only one who can snatch offensive rebounds in the crowd.

According to the previous urine nature, Westbrook is likely to be directly offensive after grabbing the offensive rebound. This time, however, Westbrook calmly played the ball into the bottom right corner.

Over there, "Old Fish" Derek. Fischer is ready!

In fact, after Fischer left the Lakers, he basically left people's vision. In the Mavericks and Thunder, Fischer's presence is really not high.

And the teams that signed him were hoping to bring him experience, not much fighting power.

In the regular season this season, Fischer averaged only 14.4 minutes per game for the Thunder, which is basically negligible.

But it's such an old guy who is close to retirement, and today he is stunned to bring the thunder back to life!

As soon as Fischer received the pass, Conley pounced. However, even so, the "old fish" did not hesitate at all. What kind of wind and waves he hasn't seen? It's just a ferocious interference, not to be feared!

So, Fischer once again threw the basketball to the basket with his "shoulder-shot" shot, and this time, Link was in a good position to never let the Thunder get another chance to rebound.

But halfway through the basketball, Link felt palpitations. Previously, Fischer had made 3 of 3 three-point shots, so should it be ..... again this time

Before Link could finish thinking about it, the basketball went straight to the net, rolling up a "wave".

"Three points again! Derek. Fischer's three-pointer almost saved the Thunder's life! 4 shots and 4 hits, incredible, key game, Fischer, a veteran, pulled the thunder! ”

Mike. Brin looked at Fischer in disbelief, shooting 4-of-4 from three-point range, a performance he didn't necessarily have even in his prime.

You know, Fischer was known as the most unworthy champion point guard back then. Of course, compared to the current Chalmers, Fischer's identity as a champion point guard is still recognized.

Fischer raised his right fist high, and fans all over Oklahoma City cheered on the hairless veteran.

Link sighed, Thunder is in frighteningly good shape today! Fischer was 4-of-4 from three-point range, hell around!

After Fischer's three-pointer, the Thunder also led the Grizzlies by nine points. At this time, there was only one minute left until the end of the game.

Memphis Grizzlies are more than lucky!

Today, the third game of the series is also the first game that the Thunder play at home. The Thunder have really shown excellent form, and it can even be said that their form is too good.

Durant has scored 34 points and is shooting close to the regular season at 49.6 percent. Westbrook scored 23 points and shot 44.3 percent from the field.

If it's just Durant and Westbrook, the Grizzlies won't be far behind. After all, the two scored 57 points in the last game, and the Thunder still lost.

The key is that when the Thunder has performed well, the rest of the Thunder is also in good shape.

Fischer now has 16 points on 4-of-4 three-point shooting! With 18 points, Martin finally shouldered the burden of being the third scorer.

The Thunder have played all the way to the present, and they finally have hope of winning.

In the last minute, Durant continued to output. Today, it seems that wheel warfare does not work for him anymore. Even if it's a very difficult shot, Durant can still hit it.

Eventually, when the electronic beep sounded to mean the end of the game, Link smashed the basketball to the ground in frustration.

112-100, the Grizzlies actually lost to the Thunder by 12 points!

At that moment, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena was boiling, and they knew that the Thunder could do it. Victory may be late, but the victory that deserves will never be absent!

Durant was so excited, as if he had completed self-redemption. The Thunder didn't continue to lose like the Rockets and Clippers, but stopped the loss at home in time!

Excited Durant hugged his teammates one by one, and he said that he could change the trend of the playoffs at home!

Link crossed his waist and stood on the court silently shaking his head. In this game, it was really untempered to lose.

The Grizzlies actually didn't play badly, with Link scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists while shooting 52.5 percent from the field. In addition, Randolph and Iguodala also contributed 20 and 18 points respectively.

The Grizzlies shot 48.4% from the field, which is not low.

Helplessly, the Thunder's performance was too good, too good to be conventional. How good is the Thunder to win the game? Today, the world finally got the answer.

The series went 2-1, and the Grizzlies suffered their first loss since the start of the playoffs.

Although Link had long expected that the Grizzlies would encounter strong resistance and interception, the Thunder would not admit defeat so easily.

But when it really happened, Link still couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Thunder is really different from the previous two opponents who had no power to fight back.

At the post-game press conference, Durant was in a good mood. When asked by reporters how he feels, Durant directly uses the word "extremely wonderful" to describe his current mood.

"It's fantastic, I'm very happy to win at home! I'm sure things will go well and we found our rhythm today. A lot of people say that the Grizzlies' home court is hard to beat, but I have to remind you that the Grizzlies didn't win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena last season. This year, I don't think the ending will change. When we get back to Memphis, we'll have a brand new 2-2 scoreline. ”

Durant was right, last season's Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies did not win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. But if you can win one game at the Thunder's home court, you won't be eliminated.

Neither side can win on each other's home court, but the Thunder have home-court advantage, one more home than the Grizzlies. So last year, the winner was the Thunder.

Local reporters in Oklahoma must have backed Durant, and with their hype, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has become an invincible one. And the 14 ESPN experts who voted for the Grizzlies were slammed as pigs' heads.

In an instant, the situation seemed to be reversed. But Link knows that the Thunder can't play like that every game. What's more, Link also believes that he can do better.

He said that he wanted to reach the finals and win the O'Brien Cup in the No. 0 jersey, and he would not break his word!

Therefore, when facing reporters after the game, Link was not nervous or annoyed.

"It's a series, and it's a common thing to win or lose. We were not proud of the 2-0 lead before, and the Thunder fell behind 1-2, but we were the first to be proud. But that's okay, we'll keep doing what needs to be done. ”

Link spread his hands, he still didn't believe that the next Thunder would be superpowering.

"But last year, you didn't win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and today, you lost. Are you sure you'll really be able to break the spell tomorrow? ”

Naturally, the reporter of good things did not intend to let Link go like this, and asked more and more sharply.

Link looked at the reporters in the audience and shrugged, "I don't know if we can break the spell, but I know that tomorrow the Thunder fans will have to stand up for a long time before they can sit down." ”

This seemingly ordinary sentence made the Oklahoma reporters in the audience explode.

"Crazy, Lao Tzu looks at how crazy you are the day after tomorrow!"

"Damn, do you really think that if ESPN gives face, you can really win?"

"It's so hateful, they have to be tasted."

The reason why this seemingly ordinary sentence caused such a big reaction from local reporters was because there was an unwritten rule at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Both, once the game starts, the fans won't sit down until the Thunder score the first goal.

Therefore, Link's sentence "Tomorrow the Thunder fans will have to stand up for a long time before they can sit down" is a cruel sentence that cannot be more arrogant in the eyes of local reporters.

While the local reporters in Oklahoma were still arguing, Link got up and left the media reception room.

The Grizzlies couldn't win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena last year, and Link certainly remembers.

For this, he has been holding back for a whole year.

Go back to Memphis with a 3-1 score and take them all in one go!

Link didn't want to delay any longer.
