As it turns out, occasional relaxation can do have unexpected effects.

Celtic were completely crushed by themselves, and they did have a chance to win the game. But in the end, he was defeated under high pressure.

Now, the eyes of the world are on the grizzly bear. The world is witnessing the Grizzlies breaking the record for the best regular season record in the 21st century.

Seeing that the Grizzlies are getting closer and closer to breaking the record, the team's attention is also rising.

Some people want the Grizzlies to break the record, so naturally some people want to see the Grizzlies' jokes.

Among them, Kevin. Durant is undoubtedly one of them.

As a star who has been fighting with Link in the dark, it's no secret that Durant and Link don't deal with each other.

Durant doesn't want to be beaten by Link again and again, and as a three-time scoring champion, he doesn't allow a second super small forward in the West besides himself.

Indeed, Durant and his Thunder won against the Grizzlies last season. But in terms of individual performance, Durant did not show the form that surpassed Link.

So, the war between the two has been going on, and this season has been the same.

So far in the regular season this year, the Grizzlies and Thunder have played each other twice, and the record is one win each, which is really a narrow road.

So this time, Durant is very eager to give the Grizzlies a head start when they need it most!

The biggest crisis of the season so far is about to happen to the Grizzlies.

※※※

Although the comeback defeated the Celtics, the Grizzlies' journey is not over.

On March 22, the Grizzlies lost to the Hornets in New Orleans in a very unexpected way. That's what people say, basketball is unpredictable. It's not so idealistic to finish the last 18 games in the final month.

In today's game, the Hornets' twin towers Anthony. Davis and Robin. Lopez played well, with the former scoring 28 points and showing his true colors. The latter has 17 points and is not at all afraid of the "fortress of Europe".

However, the Hornets' excellent play was only part of the reason the Grizzlies lost. The Grizzlies themselves are also responsible for today's loss.

Today, the Grizzlies are shooting just 41.3 percent overall. But if you just look at the starters' stats, the shooting percentage seems to be pretty good.

The problem lies in the substitution.

In this game, the Grizzlies benches combined for a total of 10 points. Among them, there are 4 people with a hit rate of 0%! Of those 10 points, 6 points were scored by free throws!

Jimmy. Butler, Tony. Aaron, Harris, Azeli, Vasquith, Nick. Poplar...... This group of "bench bandits" who have performed very well all season are stunned at the same time today.

Link and Randolph scored 30 and 22 points, respectively, but the Grizzlies lost the game due to poor performance off the bench.

100-93, losing to a team that was at the bottom of the league, which made the players feel a little bad after the game.

The worst thing is not the upset loss to the Hornets, but the fact that after this game, the Grizzlies have to return to Memphis non-stop to prepare for the game against the Thunder.

And Durant, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time.

At 2 a.m. on the 23rd, the Grizzlies players finally arrived in Memphis. That night, the tired Grizzlies faced a formidable opponent at home.

The Grizzlies' bench players are normal today, but in the face of a strong opponent like the Thunder, it is not enough to just "play normally".

Durant and Westbrook were in great shape today, especially Durant, and even Iguodala couldn't do anything with him today.

However, the Grizzlies are not soft persimmons to pinch, and in the cheers of the home fans, Link has been leading the Grizzlies in the non-stop battle.

Every time Durant tries to pull the gap away, the Grizzlies will immediately close in.

In this way, the two sides fought until the last 13.6 seconds. Link's turnaround jumper gave the Grizzlies a 1-point lead over the Thunder at 100-99!

At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena seemed to be shaking. It seems that once again, Link will use his incredible performance to keep the glory of this arena.

However, Durant won't give up so quickly. He had already made up his mind to give the Grizzlies the deadliest blow when they needed victory the most!

So, the Thunder attacked for the last time. Kevin. Durant hit a jumper in the last 0.9 seconds under Iguodala's best block!

With an electronic beep and a red glow on the rebound, the basketball passes through the net!

"Brush!"

It's the sound of the heart being pierced.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Kevin. Durant! He broke the Grizzlies' unbeaten home record this season! At the same time, it also made the Grizzlies experience a losing streak for the first time this season! He gave the Grizzlies the most untimely blow during the most inopportune period! ”

At the end of the game, Link felt like his mind went blank.

0.9 seconds, the Federal Express Arena, which has lasted for a whole season, is officially declared lost!

Although everyone knows that an unbeaten home record cannot last an entire season. After all, in all the years of the NBA, no team has ever been undefeated at home for an entire season.

But ending the Grizzlies' unbeaten streak at home in this way has undoubtedly made it very uncomfortable for fans and players alike.

With the audience boosing, Link turned his head to look at the Thunder's half.

Over there, Durant was already celebrating wildly with his teammates. Even in this boo-filled arena, it can't stop the Thunder players from experiencing their joy.

"!" Link reluctantly slammed his fist on the technical table. Brown immediately stood up and patted Link on the shoulder.

"I know it's hard, but you've got to learn to accept him, boy." Old Hubby only said one word to Link, and as for whether he could listen to it, it was beyond Old Hubby's control.

Link just politely yelled at Hubi. Brown nodded, and walked into the tunnel of the players.

Durant turned his head to look at the dejected Link, not to mention how proud he was.

Durant is very honored to be able to end the Grizzlies' undefeated record at home!

In the locker room, everyone's mood was not high. The first home defeat, the first consecutive defeat, etc., everyone naturally doesn't want to see it.

Of course, at the press conference later, the reporter also reminded Link of another bad news.

After that loss, the Grizzlies' record became 56-12. The prospect of breaking records seems to be getting less and less bright. You know, you've lost three games in the last ten days. Link, do you think it's still possible for the Grizzlies to break the record? ”

After the reporter asked, everyone stared at Link. As the player with the most traffic in this hugely trafficked team, Link's every move has attracted much attention.

"Link?" Seeing that Link didn't answer for a long time, the reporter called his name again.

Link came back to his senses and slowly approached the microphone.

Reporters had already had several predictions, and they guessed that Link might go berserk, or maybe he might be perfunctory in a very official tone.

But Link's final speech, the reporters did not expect.

"I know it's hard. But if that setback can easily knock me and my teammates down, then we don't deserve any league record. Our goal remains the same, and we will continue to strive to be the best team in the regular season in the 21st century. Then, in the playoffs, I hope to reunite with the Thunder as soon as possible. Today's account has to be calculated. ”

After Link, he stood up directly and ended the press conference.

To some, Link is like a kid who gets angry after losing. But reporters who know him know that this guy never talks casually.

Unless, he can.
