575: First honor to come

Durant saw the outcome of that shot earlier than Link.

Although Link lost his center of gravity, his shots were not deformed in the slightest. Therefore, this goal is not luck, but a reflection of real strength!

While Link was still gliding on the ground, the basketball refracted into the net.

In normal times, this is just a slightly more exciting layup than an ordinary goal. But this time, seeing the basketball fall into the net, Durant "chuckled" in his heart.

He was utterly defeated!

With 43 seconds to go, the Thunder trailed by eight points. Link, on the other hand, became the sixth player in the 21st century to score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs.

From individual performance to team results, Durant was completely defeated!

So much so that when Scott. When Brooks called a halt to the game, Durant thought it was the whistle at the end of the game.

Because in his heart, this competition is over.

Durant walked off the court dejectedly, scoring 44 points, and he seemed to have lost the last of his enthusiasm after performing well.

In today's situation, I want to chase 8 points in 40 seconds...... Durant knows better than anyone how difficult it can be.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena is just afraid it won't be saved.

At this time, on the commentary platform, Mike. Brin has used all the compliments on Link.

"The last time we saw someone score 50 points in the playoffs, it was four years ago! At that time, the high-spirited Green Army triumvirate encountered the bull, and the two sides fought very anxiously. That game, Ray. Allen scored 51 points with an incredible 9 three-pointers! However, that game went on for a full 3 overtime. Allen was able to put up such exaggerated statistics. Today, he had 50 points before 48 minutes of regular time! He takes 50 on a difficult level, than Ray. Aaron is bigger! ”

Mike. Brin was so excited that he almost declared the Grizzlies the winner. In fact, everyone knows what the outcome of this game will be. Thunder fans, now they can only console themselves with unrealistic fantasies.

On the Grizzlies bench, the Grizzlies were all congratulating Link. But Link was not as excited as people imagined, because for him, the most important goal of the day has not yet been achieved!

"With 43 seconds to go, we were eight points ahead! I know it's giving us the upper hand, but it's not over yet! Let's go on the field and keep fighting! We are less than a minute away from winning at the Chesapeake Energy Arena! ”

Link shouted impassionedly from below, and the rest of the Grizzlies chimed in.

Link is well aware that scoring 50 points in a single game does not necessarily mean embracing victory. Don't talk about it, let's just say that four years ago Thunder. Allen scored 51 points in the playoffs in that game, although Ray. Allen's individual performance was perfect, but in the end, Kyle still lost.

His 51 points have become less precious.

Looking at Link, who was cheering on his teammates on the bench, Mike. Brin smiled. Not to be carried away by temporary victories is not a quality that everyone has.

Link, this guy might really win this year......

After the timeout, the Thunder fans didn't shout much. Of course, the Thunder players are also demoralized.

The double blow of the home loss and Link's 50-point score completely extinguished the fire in Durant's heart.

As a result, the Thunder did not score on the first offense after returning. Durant turned the shot into a pass and gave the ball to Westbrook, who then hit a three-pointer and missed his best chance.

At this point, the last glimmer of hope for the Thunder has also disappeared. Whether they want it or not, they must return to "hell" with a dangerous score of 1-3.

The moment the electronic buzz sounded, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent. 113-104, the Grizzlies broke the curse of not being able to win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in the playoffs by 9 points on the road!

The Grizzlies players, who were celebrating wildly on the court, looked out of place with the silent fans. This huge contrast fully shows the disappointment of Thunder fans.

"Great game, great night. Link showed his quality to the fullest after being named to the All-Round First Team. 50 points per game, even in the regular season, is a remarkable achievement. What's more, it's the Western Conference Finals! ”

With 50 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, Link scored a double-double of 50 points. His name is destined to be written into history!

Durant stared blankly at the big screen on the scene, the number 50 was particularly dazzling.

He actually allowed Link to score 50 points, which Durant himself found incredible. Once upon a time, the undrafted loser was so strong that he could overshadow himself?

Last year, although Durant won, he felt that winning was not enjoyable enough. In his mental expectations, the Thunder didn't need to fight the Grizzlies to tie seven at all. Therefore, he was very upset, and he felt that he should abuse Link.

But this year, everything has changed. Durant doesn't want to blow up Link, nor does he want to advance early. If God can give him a chance to tie seven, he will be very satisfied!

Durant is not a man who can't recognize reality, and he knows that with a 1-3 deficit, let alone win a series. Just want to drag the game into a tie-break, it's a luxury!

If the Thunder could really get two straight wins against the Grizzlies, it wouldn't end up like this.

Looking at it, Durant hung his head and stood motionless, no one knew what he was doing at this time.

From losing the All-NBA First Team, to allowing Link to score 50 points, to losing key games, this has undoubtedly become the most frustrating day of Durant's career!

KD only felt that his eyes were hot, and then there were a few more drops of water on the wooden floor under his feet.

That's not sweat.

A reporter found Durant, but Durant took off his jersey, covered his head, and left directly.

He doesn't want to be photographed by the media like he is now.

The Grizzlies won the home court of the Thunder, and next, the Thunder went to challenge the home court of the Grizzlies.

But right now, even Durant probably won't pat his chest and promise that they will win in federal Express.

Today, KD was completely submitted by Link!

Durant faded miserably off the court, while Link was very popular on the court.

Reporters gathered around the new 50-point man, and even those who questioned Link's selection for the best defensive team before the game knelt down and licked it.

"Link, was it the best team that made you feel great today?"

"Link, after you get the match point, will you do your best to defeat the Thunder in the next game?"

"If Kevin continues to explode in the next fight, will you be able to fight him to the end?"

In the face of reporters' questions, Link is always absent-minded. Sometimes the reporter asks the east, but he answers west.

Everyone laughed, thinking that Link had been carried away by the great victory. Young people, in the face of such a great moment, it is inevitable that they will not be able to suppress their excitement.

However, Link didn't actually think about that much of the mess.

His thoughts were just traveling to Memphis two days later.

Link wondered what it would be like to lift the Western Conference Championship trophy. When the pennant of the Western Conference Champion is raised in the sky, what will become of the Federal Express Arena.

After all, this is the first honor in the history of the Grizzlies!

Western Conference champions, they've got it! After 3-1, there is no need to dwell on the Thunder anymore.

The next game in Memphis will be the Thunder's curtain call for the season.
