December 29, 2010, the Grizzlies' last game of 2010. Eager to finish in the top eight in the West, they play the Kings on the road.

Before the start of this game, no one would have thought that the Chinese American who had just been cut by the Rockets would be able to score 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in one fell swoop when he came off the bench, and helped the Grizzlies defeat the Kings by 10 points.

Since then, Link's name has become popular all over the country. The fate of the Memphis Grizzlies has also changed because of the appearance of this Chinese-American player.

And today, November 14, 2012, another little-known guy is about to change the fate of him and the Grizzlies.

"Jimmy. Butler's three-pointer hollowed into the net, and the Thunder players completely emptied him, but Jimmy used his actions to tell everyone that he can also score for the Grizzlies! ”

Butler was very, very excited, and he came up and did a perfect offense and a defense. Butler's confidence soars!

The Thunder originally wanted to take advantage of the rotation time to open up the difference, but they were the first to be scored by the Grizzlies. Now, the Thunder is not to mention pulling away the score, and the score is directly overtaken by the Grizzlies.

Durant naturally couldn't bear this kind of thing, so in the next round, Durant took the initiative to ask for the ball just after halftime.

He wants to be like Link and step up as a leader to dominate the game!

Tony. Allen is on the lookout, and as one of the league's five best defenders, he makes it very difficult for Durant to take every step forward.

Although at a disadvantage in height, Tony. Allen used his enthusiasm and skills to clamp Durant to death.

But the three-time scoring champion didn't give up, he turned to his back to the ball, intending to use his back to open Toney. Aaron gets space.

Right here at Tony. When Allen moved his center of gravity forward to defend Durant, Durant, who felt the change in the center of gravity of his back, suddenly turned back!

"Damn!" Tony. Aaron stumbled forward after losing the fulcrum he could rely on, and cursed.

He knew he had made a mistake defensively!

Kevin. Durant actually got rid of Tony. Allen, a three-time scoring champion, even in the face of one of the league's toughest defenders, Kevin Aaron. Durant doesn't suffer at all! ”

Durant gets rid of Tony. Allen then easily walked to the mid-range position and made a pull-up jump shot.

Thunder No. 35 with a faint smile on his face, Tony. What about Aaron? He is not invincible. As long as this goal is thrown, the score will be equalized. As long as the score is equalized, the difference can be further widened!

Just as Durant was about to shoot the basketball, a dark shadow appeared in front of KD, blocking his vision.

Durant's eyes couldn't help but widen a little, impossible? Tony. There's no way Aaron could catch up so quickly!

But when he saw the defender's jersey number, Durant realized that it wasn't Tony at all. Alan!

On the jersey of the black shadow in front of him, the number "21" is written.

Durant has no way to change his posture again, only to shoot against the defense. But even so, Durant is still confident. After all, most of his shots in the game were actually taken against the defense. It's just that most of the defense is completely useless for Durant.

But this time, when Durant threw the ball, he was surprised to find that the No. 21 who had come over to make up for the defense was still rising!

Then, under Durant's surprised expression. Jimmy. With a wave of his arm, Butler hit the bottom of the basketball and changed its trajectory.

Although he didn't shoot the basketball back directly, it was a complete block.

"Jimmy. Butler actually blocked Kevin. Durant! In Tony. Allen was getting rid of Durant in the case of Jimmy. Butler decisively made up the defense and completed the block! He's done with the cap, oh my goodness, Kevin. Durant's shot was actually blocked! ”

The on-site commentary is messy, and Durant's biggest advantage is his height and reach. His shooting, it is difficult for ordinary people to interfere with it, let alone complete the block.

However, that No. 21 stunned to block Durant's shot with incredible precision and height. The Thunder's desire to equalize was met by Jimmy. Butler is completely smashed!

Because the basketball was changed in its flight trajectory, it became a three-non-stick. Grizzlies' second center, Aizeli, actively got the basketball, and the ball was officially converted!

"It's horrible, Jimmy. Butler is full of energy today! For two consecutive rounds, Butler's defense made the Thunder suffer a big loss! The Thunder's vaunted offense didn't work, and the Grizzlies got another chance to switch offense! ”

At first, Butler defends Reggie. Jackson, hitting an open three-pointer, the passion of the fans has not yet been fully ignited.

But now, Butler actually blocked Durant!

This is okay, and the entire Federal Express Arena has climaxed.

So to the deafening cheers of the fans, Conley calmly passed the ball to Jimmy, who quickly plugged in after completing the block. Butler.

Face Kevin. Martin's weak defense, Jimmy. Butler directly carried away the "crooked" shooter next to him, and then took two big steps and slammed it with one hand!

Look at this Jimmy. Butler hard topped Martin into the air, and off the court Scott. Brooks was taken aback.

Every turn, Jimmy. Butler is refreshing people's perception of him!

"Boom!" The hoop made a loud noise, indicating that Butler's dunk was powerful.

Kevin. Durant stopped running and looked up at the big screen.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are already 4 points behind!

"Don't panic, we still have time! Steady, steady! Although Brooks was shouting at the players to hold steady, he was actually a little anxious himself.

He sent this lineup on the pitch to open the score, not to equalize!

But right now, they can't even equalise.

The Thunder tried offense for the third time, and this time, the Thunder players knew that scoring in the rotation time was not as easy as the first quarter.

Therefore, the Thunder played very cautiously in this round and were very patient in passing the ball.

In the end, after Durant hung the inside line without the ball, he made a shot in the catch.

The Thunder finally scored, but Stevens and Link on the bench weren't nervous at all. Basketball is never football, and it's hard to limit the opponent from scoring a single goal. But as long as this lineup can limit the Thunder from playing the offensive climax, it will be considered a success.

Before Durant could rejoice after scoring the goal, Conley singled Reggie. Jackson succeeded, and the point difference was opened again!

Stevens smiled, it seems, this lineup is more than just good defensively. On the offensive end, it has exceeded the task......

In the end, at the end of the half, the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the Grizzlies by 4 points, 51 to 55!

It looks like the Grizzlies are only four points ahead and don't have much to brag about. But you have to know that the Thunder entered the second quarter with a 10-point advantage!

Now, instead of expanding their advantage, they are falling behind. This shows how well the Grizzlies played in the second quarter.

Jimmy. Butler was the center of attention at halftime. In just a few minutes, Butler risked Durant, kept Jackson clean, and scored 7 points by the way!

This No. 21 guy who suddenly came out attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing Butler playing smoothly on the court, Link was very happy. Although he had known for a long time that Butler would make a name for himself, it was still exciting to witness Butler's journey from sweat to harvest.

However, it is not yet time to fully celebrate the victory, and in the second quarter of the game, Durant was sweating profusely, but Link had rested enough.

So in the second half, Link wanted to lead a wave of attack as soon as possible.

It's time to wrap up the game, as planned.
