Sean. Battier stood on the sidelines, surrounded by his Grizzlies teammates. Of course, the Grizzlies' staffing has changed dramatically from a decade ago.

Gasol is still there, just the younger brother Mark. Randolph went ahead and made each other with the Grizzlies.

However, in Battier's view, Link is the key to the Grizzlies.

Everyone stood up, hooked on each other's shoulders, eyes fixed on the court.

On the court, Mike. Conley's advancement left everyone on the Thunder despairing. And the Grizzlies players on the sidelines gritted their teeth one by one and looked at the arena with anticipation - the Grizzlies were about to usher in their first playoff victory in team history!

"Mike. Conley stopped outside the three-point line and now has just two minutes left before the end of the game, with the Grizzlies leading the Thunder by 12 points. There's no need for him to rush, Conley wants to exhaust the last 24 seconds of attacking time! Kevin. Harlan looked around, and the inside of the Chesapeake Energy Arena had become lifeless.

Since the second quarter of the game, when Randolph and Link worked together beautifully to widen the gap to 11 points, the Thunder have been passive until now. Thunder fans have also been suppressed until now.

Westbrook and James. Harden's performance was not as good as it could have been, with the former scoring a lot but a low shooting percentage. The latter scored just 5 points on 2-of-6 shooting from Link's defense, clearly failing to fulfill his responsibilities as a sixth man.

Among them, Westbrook is the main reason why the Thunder are now in danger. His irrational shots and gambling defense again and again made the Thunder extremely passive.

If it weren't for Durant, the scoring champion, the point difference might have been widened.

Westbrook was a little anxious, he was not willing to lose the game like this, because he would have had a chance to be the protagonist today.

In the first quarter of the game, he scored 10 points in a single quarter on 5-of-7 shooting. At the time, Westbrook definitely thought it was going to be a night out for him.

But in the second quarter, he was 1-of-5 and 1-of-3 in the third. So far in the fourth quarter, 2 of 7, the efficiency is still not high.

Westbrook will be hoping to get back to the form he was in in the first quarter and turn the tide of the game. So, this guy is very uncool and suddenly sprints and takes the risk of stealing!

"Don't!" Thunder coach Scott. Brooks shouted from the sidelines, but it was too late. Westbrook lunged like Conley, reaching for a stab.

In the NBA, the most taboo thing is actually gambling steals. If you can grab it, it will naturally be a huge return, and you can directly form a fast attack.

But if it doesn't work out, the defender is giving the attacker space.

Conley's reaction was very agile, and the moment Westbrook sprinted over, he pulled the ball to the right in a big arc, dodged Westbrook's steal, and then broke through!

Westbrook's gambling steal failed again, and he was so uncool in the face of Mike. With a mature defender like Conley, Russell shouldn't be so frizzy! That's the biggest disadvantage of the Thunder, they're too young, they're inexperienced! ”

After Conley broke through, Harden immediately came over to make up for it. Conley's eyes were straight ahead, but his wrist hit the ball to the right and passed, not looking at the pass!

"It's Link, he's been vacated by Harden! Link made a mid-range shot, and if this goal was scored, the Thunder would be in big trouble! ”

Kevin. As soon as Harlan finished speaking, the basketball went into the net. His mid-range shooting was so stable that Thunder fans feared him, and Link looked to them like a mid-range shooting machine that couldn't go wrong!

Battier smiled from the sidelines, and he realized that he liked the kid more and more.

The ball went in, and Link widened the margin to 14 points with just over a minute left in the game! The game is losing its suspense, and the Thunder have one foot hanging off the cliff! "Jeff. Van Gundy said, looking down at Link's data sheet for today.

With 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Link scored 20+ points in the first game of the playoffs, which was the highest among all rookies in the class of '09!

Speaking of which, how many rookies from the class of '09 participated in the playoffs? High-profile future superstars such as Griffin, Wall, Cousins and others have begun to take a vacation.

And those rookies who are lucky enough to have already made the playoffs can't match Link's performance. In the 76ers vs. Heat playoffs, Evan Brown. Turner played just five minutes in garbage time and scored just two points.

And Link's good friend Paul. George got a chance to start the Pacers' series against the Bulls, but with only 2 shots and just 2 points in 23 minutes played, it's not an exaggeration to say he's completely transparent.

Jeff. Van Gundy found it a little hard to believe that the guy who entered the NBA as an undrafted in the middle of the season has become the rookie who is most adapted to the playoffs this year. His status with the Grizzlies is not just a rookie, and it can be said that Link has played a huge role in the Grizzlies' system.

Without him, the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Van Gundy shook his head, and Link could be the biggest draft pick in NBA history.

The moment Link scored, the Grizzlies players on the sidelines jumped up. Battier gritted his teeth, and 10 years have passed since he joined the Grizzlies. In 10 years, his biggest regret is that he has never helped the Grizzlies win a game in the playoffs.

But now, it's almost happening! Battier is glad he was able to return from the Grizzlies' best days!

Link didn't slack off after his goal, knowing that he would have to hold on until the end of the playoffs to find out who the winner was. Link didn't shoot much in the third quarter today, but once he did, it was almost always fatal. Because of the obsession in his heart to win, he is not allowed to make any mistakes.

"The Thunder have to play this offense, otherwise the situation will be too difficult for them! The margin has been widened to 14 points, and if the Thunder don't want to lose their home court, they must start making no mistakes from now on! ”

"I don't say that, Jeff. But don't forget, the Thunder are a very young team, very young, from the team to the coaches to the players. It's almost inevitable for a young team to make mistakes! ”

Kevin. As soon as Harlan finished speaking, the Thunder made a mistake. Westbrook, the iron Hanhan, played a simple block with Ibaka outside the three-point line, and then shot directly at the three-point point!

Again! Westbrook made the decision to pit his teammates.

It can be seen that Westbrook wants to make up for the mistake on the defensive end with a goal. But this guy with an iron head often makes bigger mistakes because of this.

Durant was stunned, at the critical moment, he couldn't catch the ball? Who is the league's leading scorer this season? If Durant remembers correctly, he should have been himself, not Westbrook.

Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage this season has improved dramatically from last season, from 22.1 percent to 33.0 percent. But if you think Westbrook's three-pointers are really accurate, you're wrong. This guy's three-point shooting is extremely unstable, and his shooting has never been reliable.

Sure enough, Westbrook's snatch ended in iron. Randolph grabbed his 13th rebound of the day and handed the ball to Conley. Scott. Brooks swallowed, knowing that it was almost impossible to move back into this game.

Westbrook made two consecutive mistakes to bury the Thunder's chance to turn the tables. But that's the price of youth. "Mike. After Brynn finished speaking, he glanced at the Grizzlies' bench.

The celebration will probably be quite lively later. Even if no one here is going to support them.

Speaking of which, Link is also a young man, but he made almost no mistakes today. Westbrook, the excuse of youth doesn't last a lifetime.

In the last minute of the game, Link was already a little absent-minded. He just wants the fight to end quickly, and he can't wait to embrace the victory.

If this game is won, the Grizzlies, Link, Conley, Gasol Jr. and many others will have their first playoff win! Of course, this will also be the beginning of their next sin!

The last minute was almost the longest one Link felt. The Thunder began to use foul tactics, so the game was interrupted repeatedly, and time was forced to stop the table again and again.

Link could see the desperate expressions of the Thunder fans in the stands, but he enjoyed it. The villain is the one who brings despair!

Eventually, when Ibaka fouled Randolph and the latter made two free throws to keep the margin at 14 points, Scott. Brooks used up his last timeout. But it is clear to all that the purpose of this pause is not to lay out a strategy, but to announce the arrival of garbage time!

In the last 12 seconds of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder raised the white flag!

The Thunder kicked off, but Westbrook was out of the way. He controlled the ball past half court and then stopped where it was. The rest of the Thunder team didn't run either, and they have fully accepted the fact that they lost the game.

Five seconds before the end of the game, Westbrook dropped the ball to the ground, and the Thunder players began walking to the tunnel before the end of the game. One by one, the Grizzlies players raised their arms in the air and celebrated their victory!

The "beep ~~~~~" electronic beep finally sounded, and Sean. Battier was the first to rush onto the pitch from the bench!

In the whole game, Battier scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting, which is not enough to talk about the game. But his two key shots on the Thunder's comeback helped the Grizzlies' youngsters stabilize their mentality.

After ten years of waiting, this moment has finally come. The first hug after Battier rushed to the court was Link, Link was not the most amazing stats today, Randolph's 34 points and 13 rebounds and Durant's 33 points and 11 rebounds were the two most terrifying statistics today.

But Battier believes that Link's appearance is likely to completely change the fate of the Grizzlies. From now on, winning in the playoffs will become the norm for the Grizzlies.

"It was a great win, as the Grizzlies dropped a home court to the Thunder in fifth place and came back to fourth. And most importantly, this group of players gave the Grizzlies their first playoff win in franchise history! Their names will be forever remembered in the history of the Memphis Grizzlies, and they may usher in a whole new era for the Grizzlies! ”

The "vicious" villain defeats the bright and majestic "Prince" and goes wild on his turf.

This "evil bear" that has made heroes from all walks of life sink into the sand will continue to wreak havoc in the playoffs!

Link clenched his fists and swung his arms at the Thunder's stands. He believes that the first win in the playoffs is just the beginning.
