403: Grappling of Rotation Time

Reggie. Jackson, as a late first-round rookie last season, has been a little unknown. As an end-of-rotation player who averages just 11.1 minutes per game, it's impossible for most people to know this guy unless he's a die-hard Thunder fan.

This season, Reggie. Jackson's average of 14.2 minutes per game has increased to very little. But Reggie. After a year of grinding, Jackson has been able to put on some shows on the basketball court.

At this time, Reggie. Jackson misplaced to hit Nick. Yang in front of him. Although Nick. Jan Bireggie. Jackson was a full ten centimeters taller, but to no avail. Previously, Jackson had already beaten Nick. Yang is a 2+1, which makes Reggie extremely confident.

So, now against Nick, who is not in great form today. Young, Jackson's ball maneuvers are very comfortable.

"Reggie. Jackson began alternating hand-to-hand dribbles from beyond the three-point line, and it was the Thunder's last offense of the first quarter. Let's see if Reggie can score the ball! ”

As soon as the narrator's voice fell, Reggie. Jackson suddenly accelerated to break through! Wait for Nick. After Yang reacted, Reggie. Jackson was already half a size behind him.

"Hey." Link sighed, if only Reggie. Jackson's stats in NBA2K are also higher than Nick's. Yang Gao, maybe today Nick. That's not the case with Yang.

Breakthrough Nick. Yang Hou, Reggie. Jackson used his blazing speed to get to the basket and then threw the shot.

After the basketball enters the net, the red light on the rebound also comes on. At the end of the first quarter, Reggie. Jackson's buzzer-beating throw helped the Oklahoma City Thunder lead the Grizzlies by 10 points at 30-20 at home!

The moment the red light came on, Reggie. Jackson looked up to the sky and roared! It was undoubtedly a great night for him! Without him, there would be no Thunder's current 10-point lead!

"Reggie. Jackson's performance was incredible, and in a limited time, Reggie was the best player to perform. Jackson scored 8 points on 3-of-4 shooting! 8 points in a single quarter, which may be Scott. Coach Brooks didn't expect the result. A throw-in, a three-pointer and a 2+1 offense. Jackson is unbeatable in rotation time today! Tony. Aaron is tired and Kevin. Martin entangled, and Jackson seized the opportunity to go crazy. The Grizzlies may not have imagined that they would lose to the rotation lineup! ”

While explaining, the on-site commentary looked at the data sheet. In the first quarter, Link scored six points, and Durant and Ibaka scored eight points each. Before the rotation time, the difference between the two teams was not widened, and it can be said that they were evenly matched.

But Reggie. Jackson's 8 points in a single quarter directly stunned the Grizzlies. Nick. Young's offense today is unreliable, and the defense is still dominated by Reggie. Jackson grabbed and punched.

With Reggie. Jackson's outstanding performance, the Thunder stretched the gap to double digits in one fell swoop. Now, the Memphis Grizzlies have become quite passive!

"Damn, I ignored that kid!" After the first quarter, Stevens cursed to himself.

Reggie. Jackson, Stevens admits he didn't even think this guy was going to cause problems for the Grizzlies. But now that Harden is away from Texas, Kevin. Martin doesn't need to possess the ball, so the only one who can hold the ball on the entire Thunder bench is Reggie. Jackson is up.

In such a situation, Reggie. Jackson was naturally able to play to his heart's content.

Now it's 10 points behind in the first quarter, and it's too late to say anything. Stevens rallied all the starters and told them to close the gap at the start of the second quarter!

"If it continues to drag on, the Oklahoma City Thunder will play more and more smoothly! So, when the second quarter starts, give me a good defense! In the first quarter of the game, we let the opponent's three players score 8 points in a single quarter, which is unqualified! Toughen up and stop the opponent from scoring at all costs! ”

Stevens emphasized defense and switched to all starters. After the start of the second quarter, Stevens was still not idle. While directing the game, he wondered who he would use to defend Reggie later. What about Jackson?

In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies switched back to an all-starting lineup. On the Thunder side, Kevin. MartΓ­n replaces Sefrosa.

Sephorosa was a fake starter every game. Martin has played a lot more minutes than Seflorosa.

Coupled with the fact that the Thunder are gaining momentum right now, Scott. Naturally, Brooks wanted to chase with the heaviest firepower.

"Steady the guys! In the playoffs last season, we couldn't get a single win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Today, we have to turn this one over! As the Thunder players drew closer, Link shouted.

The team is in crisis and he's going to start fighting like a leader.

As soon as the Thunder attacked, everyone was subjected to rough close pressing from the Grizzlies players. Not to mention the outside, even Ibaka has been entangled by Randolph, and the Grizzlies are fighting for every inch of territory!

Westbrook saw that Conley was sticking to himself so tightly, so he chose to break through the Grizzlies' defense by breaking through.

Gasol Jr. immediately left Perkins to make up for the basket at this time, and in the face of this "European castle", Westbrook did not stop, but directly faced Gasol Jr. to go to the basket!

Durant covered his forehead, this guy is hi again!

Westbrook lays up on Gasol! The ball was so hard that the basketball missed! Randolph rebounded the ball and the Grizzlies had a chance to narrow the margin to single digits! ”

Conley pushed slowly, deliberately hanging on Westbrook's appetite. Westbrook was in a hurry, and he missed the ball just now, and he had to snatch it back right away and attack it again.

So, in the face of Conley, Westbrook suddenly sprinted and stepped forward to steal!

This kind of gambling steal is okay against some soft-footed shrimp, but the calm Conley obviously doesn't eat it.

I saw the Grizzlies No. 11 coldly dribble the ball to his back, change hands behind his back, and easily dodged Westbrook's sprint.

Westbrook "took the initiative" to lose position, Conley did not hesitate and broke through immediately!

Mike. Conley is averaging a career-high 14 points per game this season. While 14 isn't a particularly exaggerated number, it's definitely a deterrent number. Therefore, seeing Conley coming head-on, the Thunder's defense had to make adjustments.

Perkins rushed to make up for the basket, and Ibaka was ready to rush back and risk the opposing guard.

But just when everyone's attention was on Conley, the calm point guard flicked his wrist and passed the ball to the bottom right corner!

At this time, people found out that Link had reached the bottom right corner at some point, and with Kevin. Martin pulled two steps away!

"Conley accurately found his teammates in the open space, will Link's shot be just as accurate!?"

Link got the basketball and shot it off, flying Martin, who was bent on filling the void.

In Martin's desperate gaze, Link swept past him and then made an easy jumper from mid-range.

The basketball hollows into the net, the kind of ball Link rarely misses. The margin became single digits, and the Grizzlies' one-defense and one-offense dashed the Thunder's hopes of pulling the score away in one go.

In a fit of rage, Durant walked up to Martin and whispered a few words, and Link knew what Durant and Martin were talking about, even if he couldn't hear it. He firmly believes that the next offense, the person who defends himself should become Durant.

The Thunder still had a chance to stretch the margin to double digits, and this time, Westbrook didn't mess around, but handed the ball to Ibaka, who scored eight points in the first quarter, while Durant was pressed closely.

Serge Ibaka was easy and enjoyable to play against Randolph in the playoffs last season, but this season, with Randolph back to full and the first quarter still blowing up, Ibaka's offense has suddenly become difficult.

"Come on, bastard! Do you think you're hard!? Let you see, Uncle Zach is amazing! Randolph shoved Ibaka as he spewed trash talk in his ear.

Ibaka was distraught and eventually opted for a turnaround jumper. But under Randolph's extremely quick block, the Congolese striker's shot missed! This season, Randolph's energy is very different from last season!

When the big black bear gets angry, it's hard for any number four to take advantage of him.

"The Thunder's offense failed again! The Grizzlies are starting to tighten up their defense, starting in the second quarter! I don't think Coach Stevens wants to see a 10-point gap hanging over his head! ”

Randolph used his aggressiveness to defend a shot, and although the Thunder didn't score, Durant got excited instead.

Next, he's finally going to play against Link!

After Link passed half court and received the basketball, he found that he was facing a lot more obstacles. But he has been fighting with Durant for two years, and Link is used to Durant's exaggerated defensive area.

Link waved unhurriedly and made a few gestures like a point guard. Seeing this, Gasol Jr. immediately put up cover, and Link broke through with cover!

Durant immediately bypassed Gasol and crossed Link's left and right. Ibaka also shrunk to the basket and waited for Link to "get caught".

The Thunder attach great importance to Link's defense, after all, last season, it was this No. 0 who almost led the Grizzlies to overturn the Thunder.

Link entered the box and looked like he was going to be surrounded by Durant and Ibaka, two long-armed monsters. At this moment, Link casually threw the ball into the air!

Everyone looked up and followed the trajectory of the basketball. I saw Iguodala suddenly burst out, and Kevin beside him. Martin could only open his mouth and look stupidly.

Link didn't want to play this ball himself, but wanted to create opportunities for Iguodala! That's why he will break through without hesitation to attract attention.

And Iguodala just needs to get Martin, and it turns out that Iguodala has no big problem with Martin.

As the league's most low-key but most athletic No. 3 player, Iguodala easily picked up Link's high-toss pass and smashed it into the basket with all his might!

Iguodala's air-catching dunk made the Chesapeake Energy Arena silent for a while.

Once upon a time, Memphis were able to wreak havoc on the basket in the skies over Oklahoma City?

After landing on the ground, Iguodala excitedly hammered his chest, and in the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies and Thunder were already evenly matched. The difference was widened, mainly because of Reggie. Jackson's 8 points.

Therefore, in terms of the main lineup, the Grizzlies are not afraid of the Thunder. Therefore, now that the main team is on the court, the Grizzlies will soon be able to close the score!

After Iguodala's shot, the Thunder's scrambled offense failed again. And after the Grizzlies came over, Link used a three-pointer on the march to break through the Thunder defense and narrow the gap to 3 points!

This is a trick he has worked this summer, and he is now able to use it skillfully in actual combat.

The Thunder were beaten 7-0 in the second quarter, and their plan to take the game away in a wave in the second quarter was crushed by Link.

It was only then that the main force of the Thunder team came to their senses. So in the next few minutes, the Thunder began to score. But now it's too late to come to their senses, the Thunder have no capital to pull away the score, and the scores of the two teams continue to alternate leads.

Finally, it was time for the second quarter of the game. Scott. Brooks knows this is the Thunder's chance! As long as Reggie. If Jackson can continue the game in the first quarter, everything can get back on track.

The main force is playing indiscriminately, then I will use the substitute to win you!

And on the Grizzlies bench, Link wiped his sweat while telling Stevens, "I can play a little longer, let me play with the second lineup!" Anyway, that's how we got into the tie-break last season! ”

As everyone knows, Stevens shook his head, "I need you to maintain your strength, and then at some point in the second half, lead the team to play a wave of offense that can kill the game." As for the current rotation time......"

Stevens turned his head to look at the young player who was sitting at the end of the bench, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Jimmy! It's your turn! ”
