Four Grizzlies were named to the All-Defensive Team, which caused an uproar around the world.

Even the Pistons, who were known for their defense and won the championship by beating the Lakers in F4 a decade ago, have not had the experience of four players being selected to the All-Defensive Team.

The Grizzlies' defense is so strong that even those who don't watch them play can get a glimpse of it.

After the list was announced, Thunder fans became inexplicably nervous. Their self-confidence from a day ago seemed to be swept away.

The Grizzlies' accomplishments are historic, and Thunder fans can't afford to ignore them.

Not to mention Thunder fans, even Durant finds it incredible. The toughness of the grizzly bear has reached the point where it cannot be ignored.

But after the All-Defensive Team, the real big play is just beginning.

As is customary in the league, the roster of several All-Stars is announced once a day. In both days, the All-Rookie Team and the All-Defensive Team have been announced. Today, when the fourth game of the series begins, is the day when the best team is announced!

Once again, Durant has to compete head-to-head with Link!

In LeBron. With James, the MVP winner, almost certain to occupy a spot, Link and Durant will have to compete for the only remaining spot in the best team.

I have to say that Link and Durant are really narrow, and they can compete together for anything.

Thunder fans are very concerned about the announcement of the All-Star list, after all, this is their only chance to overtake the Grizzlies in honor this year.

If Durant can squeeze Link into the best second team, it will undoubtedly be an all-out victory.

The fourth game of the series has even begun, and the competition is already fierce.

Link woke up early today and went for a run in the hotel gym. The big war is coming, and he wants to be in the best shape for 24 hours today.

Best First Team...... That's Link's goal this season. But this year, the competition for the best team is really fierce.

But regardless of the outcome, Link could already foresee how anxious the evening's game would be. No matter who is selected, he or Durant, there must be one who is unwilling. And this unwillingness will soon be reflected in the game.

Link had promised in front of Upshaw's grave that he would make it to the Finals, and if he wanted to make it to the Finals, he would have to win a game at the Chesapeake Energy Arena!

If it's the same as last year, neither side can win on each other's home turf, and the series drags into a tie-break, the risk is too great.

Link kept telling himself to stay calm no matter what the best of the spell turned out. The playoffs, especially now that they reach the Western Conference Finals, are certainly not to be mistaken. Whoever is in a hurry is prone to make mistakes.

Link is not a god either, he can be anxious, he will be restless. Controlling emotions is not something that can be controlled by words.

But by running, Link found that he could vent all his anxiety.

At noon, the Grizzlies all went to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to start training, which was equivalent to officially starting to prepare for the evening game!

Two hours after the practice, before the NBA officially announced the news, the Grizzlies had already received a notice from the league office.

Dave. Joggle almost rushed into the gym with all eyes on him, but he was so tired and out of breath that he rested on his knees for a few seconds before he stammered and began to speak.

"The phone number of the Union office...... The phone told me that Link had been named to the All-of-the-Year First Team this year! ”

Jogel blushed and had a thick neck, not knowing if it was because he was excited or because he was too tired.

After hearing the news, Link was stunned for a few seconds. Then, a smile appeared.

NBA First Team of the Year! Finally, Link has added a sufficient amount of honor to his career resume!

"So that also means that I let Kevin. Durant lost? Link smiled and asked cautiously.

Jogger nodded, "That's right, Kevin. Durant was selected for the best team for three consecutive years, but he was not selected this year! It's all because of you, because of you, Link! This season, you've thoroughly put Kevin. Durant stepped on his feet! ”

Link threw his fist to himself, and then hugged his teammates. Durant's three-game scoring title and three-game best team were both interrupted this season, and he must be very depressed!

As it turns out, you Durant still have a long way to go before you dominate the league! The guy who has been in the league since 2007 has undoubtedly ushered in the first arch-enemy of his career!

However, Link disagrees with Jogle's statement, that is, he is not completely trampling Durant under his feet yet.

Only by winning this series can Link be considered a real victory over Durant this season!

However, that goal is almost achieved, and Link's only thought now is to end the series in two games!

This year, it's time for Durant to taste what failure is like!

On the other side, at the Thunder training ground, Kevin. Durant looked at the list in front of him and felt a little incredible.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Hasn't the alliance officially announced it yet? Seeing that there was no one on the list of the best formations, but Link, Durant's face was full of surprise.

"Here's the list the league office gave me, Kevin. This list will be exactly the same as the one that will be released in a few hours...... "Thunder coach Scott. Brooks shook his head, shattering Durant's last illusions and hopes.

Durant looked at the list on the phone screen and hung his head, no one could see his expression.

The only thing Brooks could see was Durant's fist that turned white at the joints.

Best First Team, Paul, Kobe, James, Link and Duncan, Durant still can't believe that there is no one in these five names.

He could only be ranked in the best second team with teammates Westbrook, Parker, Anthony and Gasol Jr. of the Grizzlies.

The best second team, this is also a great honor. To be honest, if Durant had lost to Anthony, he wouldn't have been so discouraged. When Anthony snatched the scoring title this year, Durant didn't feel anything.

But in the selection of the best first team, he lost to Link!

This is the real reason why Durant is unwilling!

He can accept that he is only a second-team player, but he can't accept that he was squeezed down by Link!

I really don't want to lose to that bastard!

Brooks didn't know what to do, so he could only pat Durant's arm as a sign of comfort.

"None of that matters, Kevin. Winning the game is all that matters. It's like in 2007, Dirk. Nowitzki won the MVP, but it didn't make sense to be eliminated in the first round. As long as we can win, the Grizzlies will have five players in the best team and will not be recognized by others. ”

Brooks has only launched a "chicken soup" offensive, and the result has become a fact and cannot be changed. The rest is just to see how Durant accepts the facts.

Durant nodded silently, then returned to the court and continued to practice.

Brooks suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and Durant's expression when he just looked up...... It's horribly cold!

Maybe tonight at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Durant will ruthlessly wipe out all obstacles in front of him......

※※※

On the evening of the 25th, Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and Grizzlies was held as scheduled.

Today, the emotions of Thunder fans are very high. As soon as the Grizzlies players came out, they let out a deafening boo. Link, in particular, has only been warming up for a long time, and he has been pointed at and scolded by at least five fans.

"Damn, they're so arrogant when they lose, these guys are so annoying!" Randolph looked around and couldn't help but curse.

"It's an away game, Zach. If we were at the Federal Express Arena today, we would be greeted with never-ending cheers. "Although Link was scolded the worst, his mood was very calm.

A professional person must have a professional quality, and bringing emotions on the basketball court is not a quality that a professional basketball player should have.

"This group of guys must hate you now, you provoked them before, and now you squeezed Durant into the best second team. I don't think you'll have a good time here every time you come here. ”

"Don't wait until later, Zach. Tonight, I have to face the fiercest revenge! Link said, looking at the Thunder No. 35 in the other half.

Since entering the arena, Durant has had a gloomy face. I can imagine with my toes, how angry Durant is at this moment.

After the warm-up, the referee signaled that both starters were in place and the game was about to begin.

Before the start of the hand-to-hand combat with real knives and guns, Mike on the commentary platform. Brin also introduced the basic situation of the game to the fans for the first time.

"There's no doubt that this is going to be a super battle between Link and Durant! Durant was squeezed into the best second team by Link, and he must be very unwilling! And Link, with his character, even if he looks like he is in peacetime, he will definitely give Durant the most powerful counterattack on the basketball court. ”

Mike. Brin was right, and Link didn't seem to be as emotionally charged as Durant. But he knows his mission very well, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal!

If you want to win, win Durant completely!

The two starters stood in the designated position, and between Link and Durant, there was a halfway line.

Link didn't provoke Durant today, he knew it would be just playing with fire and setting himself on fire. But what Link didn't expect was that Durant actually took the initiative to talk to him.

"Don't get too complacent, boy. In today's game, I'm going to slowly destroy you! I will pay back everything you have made me bear! ”

After Durant finished speaking, he glanced at Link with slanted eyes.

Link can assure that this is the most hideous look he has ever seen in Durant.

The game officially began, and the fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena stood up and waited for the Thunder's first athletic goal.

Gasol secured the first shot for the Grizzlies, and Link had to start executing his "No Sit You" plan.
