After successfully leveling the score, Durant calmed down.

He tasted the sweetness, and he found that it didn't seem that difficult to defeat Link.

On the Grizzly side, there is a feeling of losing rhythm. In the face of the Thunder's sudden increase in defensive intensity and Durant's offense after his return, the Grizzlies were a little caught off guard.

Link is well aware that letting others attack now is unlikely to be more efficient than Durant. Basketball is indeed a team sport, but individual ability is also very important.

If you play a team offense throughout the game, that's the next Denver Nuggets at best.

The Spurs are under the impression of a team that plays well on offense, but what about Parker, Ginobili and Duncan, including Leonard, who alone is mediocre in individual ability?

When the final word is reached, they have to come.

When the team is attacking, the team plays as a team, but when it's time to take over the game, the stars have to take over the game as well.

That's where superstars come in!

Link didn't wait any longer this time and took possession very decisively. Now, only he can stand up and resist Durant's attack.

Everyone held their breath, and the one-on-one heads-up between Link and Durant was a classic every time!

Durant was not in a hurry to fight, but kept a distance from Link. Anyway, he has the advantage of height and reach, and he is not afraid of Link suddenly pulling up and shooting.

Link already has a lot of experience in facing Durant, so naturally he won't fight blindly. He called Randolph to come out to cover, and then immediately break through!

Randolph's cover quality was very high, and Durant wanted to squeeze through, but Randolph was very strong and didn't let Durant take advantage of it. In this way, Link and Durantra opened up a little distance.

Ibaka was in a bit of a quandary, not knowing whether to stay in front of Randolph or go in and chase Link.

Just as the block king was hesitating, Link, who was dribbling and advancing, suddenly collected the ball, as if he really wanted to share the ball for Randolph to shoot!

Ibaka then decided to stay in front of Randolph and wait for an opportunity to steal. And Durant slowed down and was ready to reach out to interfere with the pass!

As everyone knows, Link's next move is not a pass, but a layup!

On a very realistic fake fax, both Ibaka and Durant were teased by Link!

The Grizzlies finally scored a goal in the second quarter, and Link stepped up in time to interrupt the Thunder's momentum.

Durant gritted his teeth, it's Link again! Every time you want to get on the ground, this guy always shows up!

However, Durant is not upset now, as Brooks said, he has enough time to kill Link slowly!

He still doesn't believe that Link can keep up with all his attacks!

Durant was quick to respond, and he jumped straight after receiving a basketball from the right midrange, completely ignoring Link's defense.

In fact, Durant's sudden jump shot is very effective. Because again, Link has no way to predict Durant's unforeseen shot.

Durant has completely regained his scoring rhythm. Brin even predicted, "KD will definitely score high in this game." At least, it's also above 35 points! ”

With more than 35 points, it's not easy to get that score in the playoffs. However, in Durant's case, it all seems to be within reach.

The Thunder leveled the score again, and they didn't give an inch. If they retreat, what awaits them is a score of 1-3!

Just when Thunder fans were still fantasizing about how Durant would overtake the score, Link scored again!

This time, Link continued to play with Randolph. But unlike just now, Ibaka chose to switch defenses directly!

Small fights big, it stands to reason that Link has an advantage in speed. However, Ibaka is not slow to move, he is an athlete.

As a result, Link opted for a step-back jumper after a mid-range bounge.

Ibaka didn't expect Link to retreat, so his reaction was half a beat slower. In the end, Link comfortably scored on the head of Serge Ibaka and the score was stretched two more points.

"There is no way for both sides to take each other's number one attack point, and this game has completely become a private duel between Link and Durant!"

Mike. Brin shook his head, the immortals fought, and the others couldn't intervene.

In the second quarter, Link and Durant really occupied most of the scenes. The two of them come and go, and the fight is so lively.

Here, Durant slipped to the baseline and made a rebound. In the past, Link relied on his own enthusiasm to make successful baskets.

The Thunder just relied on Durant's three-point score to overtake the score, and after the past, Link caused Ibaka a 2+1 and immediately recovered the 2-point difference.

The two sworn rivals put on a thrilling battle for the fans, and their individual scores soared.

Wait for the half of the game to be over, Mike. The moment Brin picked up the data sheet, he was dumbfounded.

Kevin. Durant scored 18 points in the half, Link scored 23 points in the half, and they completely dominated the first half! ”

When both Link and Durant turned on scoring mode, no one knew who would be the winner. Of course, no one knows exactly how many points these two guys will score.

In the second half, the grappling between the two sides continued. Both teams have raised their defensive intensity to a very rough level, and the offensive efficiency of the others has been miserable.

Westbrook's head-iron impact did not increase his score, but made his shooting percentage continue to fall.

The Black and White Bears were brutally violated on the inside and it became very difficult for them to score.

In the end, only Link and Durant were able to provide enough solid firepower at this intensity.

So, Mike. Brin and the fans watched as the scores continued to rise, and the numbers became more and more exaggerated.

When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies still only led the Thunder by 4 points and failed to open the gap.

And Durant and Link's individual scores both exceeded 40!

Mike. Brin initially predicted that Durant would score more than 35 points, and he proved to be too conservative.

After Durant's turnaround jumper just now, his personal score has come to 42 points!

And Link, who was just selected to the All-Match First Team today, has already increased his score to 46 points!

46 points, which is also a new high in a single game in Link's career so far!

"This is a classic two-man matchup, Link and Kevin. Durant didn't give in to each other, and they all played staggering statistics! Link has already scored a career-high 46 points, but the battle continues, and no one knows what kind of stats they will end up with! ”

Both Link and Durant did their best, and neither of them wanted to fall here. This game is the most important turning point for this series!

Durant was very surprised that Link could really score points with himself. And Link was also a little surprised, Durant was too strong today to speak. He has scored 46 points, and he has not been completely knocked out.

At this point, the Grizzlies called a halt to the game and prepared to lay out the final three minutes of offense. In fact, there is no tactic, to put it bluntly, it is to study how to create singles opportunities for Link as much as possible.

And Mike. Brin took advantage of this time to pick up Link's data sheet and study it carefully.

"With 46 points in a single game, this is the second time in the playoffs this season that Link has scored more than 40 points in a single game. And, you may not believe it, 46 points is already the highest score O'Neal has ever scored in the playoffs. Link would only need to make even one more free throw to break O'Neal's scoring record in the playoffs. Now, you know what a 46-point playoff game is, right? ”

Mike. Brin has always found it incredible, and Link's highest single-game scoring in the regular season was only 45 points. It stands to reason that he is unlikely to score more than 45 points in a single game in the playoffs.

After all, the regular season is very long, nearly half a year, as many as 82 matchups. Once a certain feeling breaks out, it is not too difficult to get forty or fifty points. Even Jennings, who is now criticized, staged a miracle of 55 points in a single game that year.

But in the playoffs, the defensive powerhouses are completely different, both sides are almost fighting for every ball, and the other side will try their best to defend every ball, especially the star of the house, and the defensive pressure is doubled. And in the playoffs, the research between each other is also more detailed than in the regular season. So, it's really hard to get 40+ points in the playoffs.

Many players struggle to perform in the regular season due to the high intensity of defense in the playoffs. Instead, Link put on a more explosive scoring performance than he did in the regular season.

With three minutes left in the game, Link has 46 points. Perhaps, this guy can get his career high score closer to 50 points today......

Mike. Brin swallowed his saliva, since the 21st century, players who can score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs are rare, not that they can be taken by taking them.

As I just said, a super interior player like O'Neal is as strong as O'Neal, and his highest playoff score is 46 points.

Link and Durant, who will survive the last three minutes?

The player who was selected to the best first team is really amazing.
