On April 23, 2011, the series finally arrived in Memphis, the home of the Grizzlies!

While the Grizzlies won their first playoff game in franchise history, the fly in the ointment was that the game wasn't played at home.

Grizzlies fans have never seen a playoff win at home, and today, they're eager for that to happen.

But when the game reached the end of the third quarter, even Hubi. Brown was a little desperate. As many media and experts have said, the Thunder's offense is too fierce! Even the Grizzlies' defense was a bit unstoppable.

On the court, Westbrook broke through the point and assisted Durant to hit a mid-range shot. After this goal, the Thunder team officially played a wave of 9-0 offensive climax! And the difference in points on the field is as much as 16 points!

Westbrook and Durant gave a light high-five, Westbrook played very sensibly today, and his repeated calm passes gave his teammates good chances. Compared to usual, Westbrook can score while he can still assist his teammates to score, which makes the Thunder's offensive firepower even more difficult to parry.

With a 16-point difference, the Grizzlies were left with only one last offense left in the third quarter. Even if the Grizzlies could make a three-pointer, they would still trail by 13 points. I have to say that there is indeed a large gap in strength between the two teams. "Hubby. Next to Brown, Kevin. Harlan thinks the game is basically over.

The 16-point difference is not small, not to mention that the Thunder almost kept pressing the Grizzlies in the first three quarters. The last time the Grizzlies led the Thunder was in the second quarter, and the Grizzlies didn't have a single point lead throughout the second half.

Hubi. Brown did not respond to Kevin. Harlan, because he was really speechless, the Thunder now have a huge advantage, and the Grizzlies are very dangerous.

On the court, the Grizzlies were still unhurriedly controlling the ball, and Conley had to play the last 20 seconds. Link was actively looking for opportunities, but the pressure Durant gave him was just too strong.

As soon as Durant's long arm was straightened, it was difficult for Link to connect to the ball.

However, Link did not give up, and after relaxing with Randolph the day before yesterday, Link felt energetic today. And no matter how tight the defense is, you won't be distracted.

Link patiently searched for an opportunity, and finally, with a counter-run, he shook off a bit of space!

Conley saw Link who had seized the opportunity, so he quickly sent the ball over!

At this point, with more than 2 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Link had to catch the ball and shoot!

Durant's interference didn't change Link's shooting stance, and he was extremely calm, even when trailing by 16 points.

After the shot, Link's raised arm never let go. When the red light on the rebound comes on, the basketball also goes into the net.

A three-point whistle! Link scored the 16th point of the game under Durant's tight defense!

However, the cheers in the Federal Express Arena were scattered. Because even if this three-point shot is made, the Grizzlies are still 13 points behind.

At the end of the third quarter, Link's three-pointer helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation somewhat. But the Grizzlies are still in a dangerous position, and it won't be easy for the Grizzlies to catch up with 13 points in 12 minutes. The Thunder's offensive firepower ensured that their scoring was almost uninterrupted. ”

"yes, if the Grizzlies also drop a game at home. Not to mention today, but the entire series, is in jeopardy. "Hubby. Brin looked at the sidelines solemnly, he really didn't want the Grizzlies' playoff journey to go up and down like this.

Link stepped off the court and gave his teammates a soft high-five. Hollins immediately pulled out the tactical board, and he clearly didn't want to waste a minute.

Unlike the last loss, the Grizzlies' poor performance in the last game was largely due to the Grizzlies' poor performance. But today, the Grizzlies' performance is actually not bad, it's just that the Thunder's performance is too good.

No, Westbrook just scored 13 points in a single quarter. Counting further up, Ibaka scored 9 points in the second quarter and Durant scored 9 points in the first quarter......

The Grizzlies are good defensively and offensively, but the Thunder have made too many unreasonable shots.

Hollins believes the Thunder's luck won't last forever. Perhaps most people think the Grizzlies are lost, but Hollins doesn't think so!

"In the fourth quarter, we continued to maintain this defensive intensity, and the Thunder couldn't have scored every time! Hold on, if you fall on yourselves, then this game is really over! That damn bastard must have thought we'd give up and surprise them! Don't give up, don't give up! ”

Hollins didn't make many tactical adjustments, mainly trying to stabilize the mood of the players.

After hearing this, Link and Randolph looked at each other.

"Are you tired?" Randolph asked.

"I don't feel tired at all." Link replied with a smile.

"Me too, but not necessarily with those guys." Randolph said, gesturing to the Thunder bench.

"In the first three quarters, under our high-intensity defense, they played such a terrible offense, and the consumption was definitely not small. Like Hollins said, if we continue to press them in the fourth quarter, we can definitely turn the tables around. Believe me, it won't be us who will be the first to collapse! ”

Randolph finished speaking, and the short interjuncture ended. The cheers at the scene were still not high, and many fans probably gave up resisting.

They may be thinking to themselves: it's great for the Grizzlies to win one game, it's great for them to finish fifth in the West this season, and there's no need to be so demanding of their team.

But what fans don't know is that the Grizzlies players always push themselves with the most demanding requirements! Until you die in battle, you will never be satisfied!

Link re-entered the court and bumped fists with Randolph. Hollins was right, first of all they couldn't fall down on their own. Then, let yourself and Randolph lead by example!

"The game looked like it was going to look like Link and Zach were still full of fighting spirit. But seriously, sometimes fighting spirit isn't enough. The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, let's see if this offensive Thunder can continue to pull the score away. ”

Westbrook came in with confidence on the ball, but he was unusually calm today. Even though he had just scored 13 points in a single quarter, Westbrook didn't have a brain explosion and just took the ball himself. He knew that he was very responsible for the Thunder's first loss. So in the next few games, he didn't plan to make any more mistakes.

Westbrook handed the ball to Durant on the right, but as soon as Durant received the ball, he was violently bumped by Link, and he stumbled two steps because of it.

Durant looked up and saw that Link was staring at him resolutely, as if unaffected by the huge 13-point gap.

"Cut, pretend to be calm!" Durant started to dribble alternately with his left and right hands, and he was about to play! It's not the first time he's experienced Link's tough defense today, he's scored a few times before, and this time it's the same!

Durant started immediately, but was brutally forced to stop by Link! The collision between the two was very intense, Link did not give an inch, and Durant was bounced back to the same place!

"Come again, bastard!" Link opened his arms and yelled at Durant.

Durant gritted his teeth, 13 points behind and still so arrogant! He must beat this guy in front of him so that he can't even speak!

So Durant called for cover, and Ibaka went up to block and pick-and-roll. But Link didn't back down, he squeezed hard in front of Ibaka, blocking Durant's way, and the scoring champion's offense failed again!

"Beautiful defense, Link is still very positive! It seems that he is not going to give up his home field like this! Kevin pulls up a jumper, but he doesn't shake Link! ”

Link worked hard to seal it, and Durant has scored a lot of shots in this kind of interference today. But Link and Hollins think the same thing, the Thunder can't still score difficult goals against defense in the fourth quarter!

Durant was forced to breathe faster by Link, and the rhythm of the shot was not grasped well. He made a move earlier than usual, and he was sealed in front of Link.

"Bang!" The basket made a crisp sound, and Durant missed this time!

"The shot didn't go in, Randolph grabbed the rebound, look at the Grizzlies' counterattack!" Hubi. Brin clenched his fists, this is his chance!

Link ran forward the moment Durant made his move, believing in the Black and White Bears' ability to protect backcourt rebounds. As soon as Randolph grabbed the rebound, he made a long pass in the backcourt very tacitly, and the basketball went straight to Link!

Link caught the basketball two steps inside the three-point line, but Durant had already rushed to Link's side. Continue to break through? Link couldn't shake off Durant. Pause the offense? This is another rare opportunity to counterattack, and it would be a shame to be dragged into position.

So Link suddenly took a step back and shot straight away!

"Step-back jumper, Kevin. Durant was half a beat slower to react, but with his height and reach, he still interfered with Link! ”

Hollins bit his lip, he was really afraid that Link wouldn't be able to shoot this shot. This kind of offense is not as simple as two points, and it will directly determine whether the Grizzlies can get off the ground in the fourth place.

Link breathed remarkably smoothly in the air, and his fitness was perfect. Originally, Link's physical strength was very withstanding, not to mention that he had been greatly relaxed physically and mentally the day before yesterday. As a result, the shooting stability is impressive, even in the presence of interference!

The three-point whistle that just shot against Durant was actually a warning to the Thunder.

Link made a gentle shot to delight the fans at the scene, and Durant hurriedly turned back after landing, only to see the basketball hollow into the net in despair! The Grizzlies fight back!

"Boom!" This time, there was no longer a dead spell in the Federal Express Arena, and everyone got up from their seats to cheer on Link's goal!

That guy used his tough style to ignite the hope of the audience!

Fans will think: even he didn't give up, what right do we have to give up?

"A beautiful step-back jumper, counting the three points just now, Link is equivalent to scoring 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 11 points in one fell swoop! He responded to the Thunder strongly, and he represented the attitude of the Grizzlies! "Hubby. Brin finally raised his eyebrows, and he was glad that the Grizzlies players were still resisting.

No team can easily defeat the Grizzlies, and even if they win, the Thunder will win all over the body!

Link made a pistol shape with both hands, put it to his mouth and blew off the "gunsmoke", and then inserted the "pistol" into his waist!

It's not over yet, Link doesn't even feel tired yet. The horn of counterattack has been sounded, and the next thing the Thunder will face is a crazy counterattack!
