925: An Impossible Thing (Fourth Shift)
On the court, Jimmy. Butler's long-range shot misses the mark.
Russell. Westbrook reacted quickly to grab the rebound, and then immediately pushed and counterattacked!
As an athletic defender, grabbing rebounds and pushing straight back is one of Westbrook's strengths.
He quickly made his way through the crowd, as if he had really struck a lightning bolt on the Thunder's home court.
Westbrook stumbled, staring at the basket.
The orange basket was close in front of him, and in the previous games, it was a breeze for him to put the ball in the basket.
But today, the distance between him and the basket has become unreachable.
Link is like a mountain, a tower, a huge river, forever between him and the basket.
Again and again, ball after ball, he was thwarted.
Westbrook still doesn't believe that it is so difficult for him to score today! This time, he can fix everything!
"Russell was fast, and he surpassed most Grizzlies players. This guy is a sharp blade in the counter-attack, he is in the box, he pierces the heart of the defending champion! ”
Michael. Cage is thrilled, and as a local commentator for Oklahoma, he has commented on too many Thunder home games this season.
Normally, in this case, Westbrook can bomb the basket directly, and it is impossible for anyone to react faster and sprint faster than him!
Westbrook thought the same thing, staring at the basket, he leaped high, the muscles of his arms tensed, ready to smash the ball into the frame!
He believes that all those grievances will be crushed with this smash! After smashing, everything will be fine.
But just as Westbrook was raising the ball behind his head, a big strong hand pressed against the basketball.
Westbrook was about to smash the ball forward, but the basketball in his hand was slapped hard.
"Impossible, right!?" Surprised, Westbrook lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground hard.
When he looked back behind him on the floor, he could only see a tall black shadow due to the bright light of the scene.
Westbrook couldn't see the face of the black shadow clearly, and he couldn't see the skin color of the black shadow clearly.
All he could see was the dark blue jersey with the same jersey number as his.
"It's Link again, he's caught up with Russell and got on the hunt! Link didn't let him score this kind of ball, he was like a hunting dog, staring at Russell for the whole game! As soon as Westbrook has any chance of scoring, Link will show up in time and kill every chance! ”
Michael. Cage stood up, the first time this season he had seen Westbrook chased after him with a complete rush.
Usually, those who are taller than him are not as fast as him. Faster than him and more agile than him, he doesn't have such terrifying athletic ability.
So, it's almost impossible to chase him. Once Westbrook gets up to speed and makes a successful jump, the only thing you can do is pray he doesn't dunk the rebound.
But just now, Link followed with incredible speed, and gave Westbrook a hot pot from behind.
Now, Westbrook could only feel despair in his heart.
He didn't know how Durant had fought with Link for so many years, because he had only played against Link for one game, and he was already on the verge of self-defeat.
The defender, who had always been as brave as a matador and whose courage was inexhaustible, was now feeling timid.
At this point, the game was already in the final five minutes. The Oklahoma City Thunder trail the Grizzlies by as many as 16 points!
Westbrook had just made his 21st shot, but only hit four of them.
In other words, in this whole game, Westbrook had a full 17 shots, all of which were defended by Link. On average, Westbrook only has one open goal in a single game.
Throughout the game, Link held Westbrook mercilessly under him!
If it weren't for 15 free throws, Westbrook wouldn't have scored 24 points right now.
But what about 24 points? The 24 points earned in exchange for 21 shots were worthless.
、
"It's over, stop fantasizing. If Russell. If Westbrook still has the energy to do so, the Thunder might be able to pull off a miracle in the final five minutes. But the most crucial point now is that Russell has been completely destroyed by Link. Because it was not a confrontation at all for Russell, but a massacre, a complete massacre. ”
Eddie. Gordon felt a chill run down his spine, Link was so ruthless. He was like a demon who brutally tortured their hero in front of the Oklahoma City fans.
He didn't regret taking the initiative to apply to watch the game, at least, it gave him a new appreciation for Link's dominance.
In the future, if his son said something stupid like beating Link, he would definitely be the first to jump up and stop it.
After this venture, Dave. Jogger took a timeout of the game.
Meanwhile, Link has blasted down 24 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, as well as a whopping 4 blocks!
Link didn't score much today, but he did his duty as a number one.
With his organization, the rest of the Grizzlies got a lot of open shots. So far in the game, the Grizzlies have shot 52.3 percent overall.
If it weren't for Westbrook's bruising, and Ibaka's brave performance today, the Thunder's situation would have been even worse.
Bill watching TV. The corners of Simmons' mouth twitched twice.
Westbrook has played so well in the last five games, averaging close to a triple-double per game, with unlimited firing rights and the support of the whole team.
How can you come to Link and say that the dumb fire is so dumb fire!
It's not scientific!
Is Link such a god? Wouldn't he have made a mistake?
Simmons covered his head and slipped his fingers into his hair.
If Link continues to rage like this, his hair will be gone!
Simmons discovered for the first time that Link might really be an opponent that couldn't be defeated.
Next, there are three more awards for the best of the month. As long as Link doesn't make one of the picks, he wins.
But even so, Simmons is not as confident as before.
Looking at the whole west, who can snatch the best of the month from him?
Bill. Simmons fell into deep thought, in addition to Black Link, he was a veteran Chamberlain Black.
Chamberlain couldn't climb out to refute Simmons, but Link could.
He showed Simmons how incredible a true superstar can be.
When Simmons was distracted, the final five minutes of the game passed quickly.
On the TV screen, the score became 110-89. The Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Grizzlies by 21 points at home......
The Thunder were only half a win away from finishing in the top eight in the West, but the last step was stopped by the Grizzlies.
Of course, the cruelest thing about this game is not to keep the Thunder outside the top eight in the West. Instead, Westbrook saw what a fantasy it was to "wait for Durant to come back in the Finals".
It was completely impossible for him to stand up to Link on his own.
After the game, the majestic Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent. The Thunder players were like mice in the dark at the end of the game, flying towards the players' tunnel.
Before the reporters could react, all the Thunder players escaped......
As a result, Oklahoma reporters had no choice but to turn to Link.
What about Link? He waved at the reporters with a playful smile.
This time, he assured that he would not be gentle again......
