As soon as Link and his teammates stepped into the Chesapeake Energy Arena, they noticed that many fans in the stands were holding up their placards.

On the nameplate, the words "defeat the grizzly bear" are very prominent.

All Oklahoma City fans are very angry, and it can be seen that the fans here really hate the Grizzlies to the core.

Before the game even started, this group of fans seemed to be eager to rush up and tear Link and them into pieces.

In the absence of Durant, Thunder fans are still so rampant. Without a doubt, this is the confidence Westbrook has given them.

Thunder local commentator Michael. Cage also showed confidence in this match.

"The Memphis Grizzlies are back-to-back and they also lost Mike. Conley. Of course, I haven't forgotten that the Thunder have also lost Durant, but in terms of the current state of both sides, I think the Thunder have the upper hand. Russell. Westbrook won't give up on this game easily, he'll burst out with all his strength! I wouldn't be surprised if Westbrook had a very exaggerated stat today. ”

Michael. As soon as Cage's voice fell, his partner Eddie. Gordon retorted.

"I'm sure you didn't watch the Grizzlies' game against the Magic at the end of last month, right? If you really knew grizzlies, you wouldn't be so confident. No team is 100 percent sure of the Memphis Grizzlies in front of them. Even if, in the case of the Grizzlies fighting back-to-back. ”

Eddie. Gordon laughed playfully at him and Michael. Cage has been an old acquaintance since he was a player, so he doesn't have to worry about the other party's face when he quarrels.

Eddie. Gordon is the No. 4 pick in '14. Gordon's father, Eddie has been the official commentator for the Orlando Magic since his son moved into the Magic.

More than half of the Magic's home games are played by Eddie Brown. Gordon commentary.

At the end of last month, he personally commented on a game between the Magic and the Grizzlies.

In that game, the Magic maintained the lead in the first half by relying on the three-point shooting percentage against the sky.

Until midway through the third quarter, the Grizzlies trailed the Magic by 12 points.

But in the final quarter and a half, Link led the team to start a counterattack. It seems that the grizzly bear only needs a slight exertion to make the magic bewildered.

The strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all. And most teams in this league are not at the same level as the Grizzlies.

In the end, the Grizzlies didn't just win, they won by 9 points! If it weren't for the Grizzlies giving up defense in the final round, the Magic would not have been able to maintain such a "decent" single-digit margin in this game.

That game, to Eddie. Gordon was impressed. He believes that the Grizzlies' dominance can only be directly recognized after seeing it with their own eyes.

Therefore, he took the initiative to apply to come over today to explain the game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, and was ready to witness the Grizzlies perform miracles again.

He believes that the defending champions will not be defeated so easily.

"Do you have to tear down my desk, Eddie? Look, the Grizzlies are very weak now, and the Thunder are very strong. If you think the Orlando Magic can compare to the Thunder, you are very wrong. Just because Magic can't kill a grizzly bear doesn't mean Westbrook can't do it. ”

Amid an argument between the two commentators, the referee motioned for the players of both teams who were warming up to get ready in their assigned positions.

Over there with the Thunder, Westbrook, Dieng. Vitesse, Andre. Robertson, Stephen. Adams and Serge Ibaka made up the starting line-up.

The Thunder's starters can be said to have changed dramatically compared to last season, but it is their set of starts that has allowed the Thunder to improve their record without losing Durant.

Westbrook stepped onto the court confidently, his eyes fixed on the Grizzlies players.

He was curious about who would be his opponent in Conley's absence.

But he believes that whoever it is, he can do it himself! Westbrook is eager to blow up the grizzlies!

The Grizzlies' starting five Tigers also made an appearance. Gasol stepped into the center circle, Zach. Randolph stood outside the circle. Iguodala and Jimmy. Butler was standing near the halfway line, and in the No. 1 position, Westbrook saw the guy wearing the same number as him.

"What!?" Westbrook felt as if he had been punched in the chest, and his ambition was instantly cut in half.

Link playing the number one position? Some time ago, the Grizzlies just let him play the No. 5 position, and now he has brought him to play the No. 1 position, and Joggle is using Link as a universal glue!

Where there is a shortage of people, move Link? Will he really be able to adapt?

"The Grizzlies didn't have a real No. 1 in their starting lineup, and Dellavedova didn't start. Could it be that Coach Jogel directly abandoned the No. 1 player? "Michael. Cage was just as surprised as Westbrook, he thought it was the Fishpond Bureau, but it turned out to be a big god, can you not be surprised?

"It's going to be an interesting game, Link will be directly opposite Westbrook! Come on, let's see if Westbrook is really as good as Bill. Evolved as Simmons said! ”

Eddie. Gordon instantly became more energetic, Link played the No. 1 position, what will become of the Grizzlies' offense?

The game officially began, and after the referee threw the ball into the air, Adams fought for the Thunder to attack the ball first.

After Westbrook receives the basketball, he carefully holds the ball forward.

As soon as half-time was over, Westbrook saw Link come up with open arms.

In an instant, all the good illusions were shattered. Link is really playing the No. 1 position today, and Westbrook will be entangled in last season's best defensive player!

Link lowered his center of gravity and didn't rush up. His eyes were fixed on Westbrook, and he could tell that Westbrook was scared!

Westbrook didn't care what the best month was, but he knew that if he was going to keep his promise, Link would have to pass it no matter what.

So Westbrook plucked up his courage, called for cover, and prepared to break through!

The number 0 accelerates through the moment Ibaka's cover is in place, and usually a simple combination is enough to get Westbrook away most of their opponents.

Westbrook's first explosive power is beyond the reach of many.

But Link was not thrown away, he bypassed the cover and caught up at the first time, without giving Westbrook any space!

At this time, Westbrook will generally choose to take the initiative to find confrontation. After all, his physique and athleticism are almost invincible in the No. 1 position, and almost no one can hold him.

Playing the Clippers a few days ago, even Paul couldn't withstand the impact of Westbrook.

Seeing that Link was still in front of him, Westbrook repeated his old trick and slammed it directly towards Link!

"Boom!" The two forces collided violently, and both sides were equivalent to a heavy punch to each other.

Under normal circumstances, Westbrook's one shot would be enough for him to carry his opponent away and then easily go straight to the frame.

But this time, Westbrook himself was bounced away, and he didn't hit Link!

Link is an existence that can top the No. 5 position, so naturally it is impossible to be pushed away by a point guard so easily.

Even if this point guard has extremely perverted physical fitness!

Westbrook could only make a layup with an unsteady center of gravity, but a strong block, combined with Link's terrifying air defense height, allowed Westbrook's layup to be seriously disrupted.

In the end, Westbrook went straight to the "bridge".

The basketball flew from the right side of the basket directly to the left side of the basket, and there was no accuracy at all!

Russell was going to force his way to the frame, but that didn't seem to work well against the Grizzlies.

Eddie. Gordon shook his head, he had to be smarter to score on Link. Durant, as the leading scorer, will have a hard time scoring on Link's head, let alone Westbrook.

Link managed to withstand Westbrook, and then immediately took a second jump to pick up the rebound.

Westbrook also wanted to take the ball immediately, but without an overwhelming advantage in athleticism, he could only watch Link take the lead in pocketing the ball.

In just one round, Westbrook was frustrated.

In the past, he suppressed others, but today, he was crushed to death by Link.

Although the offense failed, the Thunder's retreat was swift.

In the beginning, the Thunder's strategy was to use Andre . Robertson goes to defend Link. But now, the Grizzlies' lineup is unexpected, they don't have a No. 1 position, Westbrook is out of place to defend anyone, and the Thunder's defense can't go as originally planned.

So, Westbrook waved his hand, and he decided to defend Link himself!

Since you want to be aligned, then be thorough!

All along, it was Durant who was fighting against Link. This time, Westbrook also wants to do his part for the Thunder!

Maybe, he can really do something that Durant hasn't done?

Link slowly controlled the ball and approached, and he was indeed the number one position on the field now. The No. 1 position of 2.03 meters is not the highest in NBA history, but this height is definitely an advantage in the No. 1 position.

Westbrook pushed against Link's leg and held Link's waist.

Like Paul, Westbrook is very good at small and big defense. In fact, Westbrook would have been a very good defensive player if he hadn't been too impulsive.

Link raised the basketball with both hands in the air and was in no hurry to break through. He knows very well that he is now a point guard, and his first task is to connect the team's offense!

So Link kept his eyes on the inside and gently hoisted the ball in.

In the three-second zone, Stephen. Adams opted to go around the line to defend Gasol.

Gasol is the starting center for the Western Conference All-Star team this season, and the Spaniard has been out for a while this season, but he has been very good when he can play. Therefore, it was also favored by the fans and was thrown into the starting lineup.

Stephen. Adams knew that Gasol couldn't be restrained by conventional defensive methods, so he went straight ahead as soon as he came up.

It is indeed very useful to defend around the front against a center with strong scoring ability, and Yao Ming has been defended around the front a lot before. And the worst thing is that the Rockets at that time really didn't have a guard who could feed Yao Ming who was bypassed.

Therefore, it is often very useful to use the trick of circumambulation to deal with Yao Ming.

But if the No. 1 position is strong enough to safely get the ball in from the opposition, then the defense around the front will lose its power.

Link, on the other hand, has the ability to do that!

Adams saw the basketball fall inside and raised his arms for a steal.

However, the basketball fell at a very precise angle against Adams' fingertips and fell into Gasol's hands!

Everyone was stunned, the Grizzlies were able to pass this kind of high-quality ball without the No. 1 position!

When Gasol received the basketball, it was empty in front of him! The Spaniards were not polite, and directly took a big step and violently dragged the frame with both hands!

Westbrook was dumbfounded, Adams was 2.13 meters tall! It is very difficult to hoist the ball through this "big mountain"!

Even he doesn't necessarily have a successful pass in such a situation.

But what about Link? To put it mildly, he completed the assist.

Watching Gasol score, Link clapped his hands excitedly and ordered everyone to retreat immediately.

The Grizzlies, under Link's command, seem to have the discipline of an army.

At this time, Link is like a real top point guard in the league, he controls every step of the game!

Westbrook wondered at first if Link could adapt to the fact that he was constantly moving from one position to another.

Now, the "Turtle" has the answer.

Not only can Link go from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, but he can also put in a top performance no matter which position he plays!

Want to snatch victory from such a guy?

It's hard, it's too hard......
